Elleda Vitamin C Serum Review #vitamincserum

ok, it's another skin care item that I am sharing with you today.

Here is a link to the product where you can review others reviews on it as well.

I am going to be right up front, I have not gotten to use this one for very long.  It took the shipment longer to get to me so I just got it on Saturday for whatever reason.  So, I have not even been using this for a week.  I started using it on Sunday.

I was wanting to give this one a little more time, because the consistency of it is very thin and runny

as you can see from the above photo it started running down my hand as soon as I put the drop on it.

I don't even know that this is a bad thing.  I have used a lot of C serums and they are always thicker (but maybe that is needless products that made it thicker - not sure).  I have never used one this runny before.  The bad thing about it being so runny is it is tending to make me use more, because I feel like I am not getting it all where it needs to go without it starting to drip down my finger.

The pro's.  It feels really nice on the skin.  I had no problems with it and even put it on my eyes with no negative results.  It is extremely moisturizing.  The smell is different.  I thought it had a witchhazel/cinnamon smell.  Looked at the ingredients and it has witch hazel and cassia in it - so there you go.  I wouldn't say it smells bad -- just different.

This makes my face feel very soft.  My guess is the bottle will not last quite a month do to the watery nature of it -- however that may be something I am doing incorrectly in the application process and will continue to work on that.

I am only rushing to do the review because I was sent a bottle from Elleda to try in exchange for my opinion and they have contacted me twice now wanting to know my review.  I was contacted last night and told they were closing the test by the end of the week so I needed to get this submitted.

I will continue to use this til it is gone.  I am interested in finding out how the consistancy will hold up long term and whether there will be any visible results.

I wish I could tell you more at this time, but I really can't -- I will probably update my review down the road.

Pros -- very moisturizing, makes my skin feel smooth, no negative reactions
Cons -- very runny

Adeline Hyaluronic Acid Serum Review #ADELINE

I wanted to share with you today my impressions of the Adeline Hyaluronic Acid Serum

I have never used Hyaluronic Acid products before so I have nothing to compare to.

 I am using 3 different products currently in the Adeline line. I absolutely "love" their moisturizer!! Definitely recommend the moisturizer (check out my previous review)!!

My skin is extremely dry and sensitive. My skin soaks up the moisture of the Hyaluronic acid when I put it on a freshly cleansed face right away.

The formulation is clear in color and very light.  The pump bottle automatically dispenses the correct amount (shown above)

I did feel a slight tingly burning sensation at the high cheek area each time I have applied it, but it was very brief and didn't last. It wasn't painful, just made me pause afraid that maybe I was getting a reaction. However it didn't last, and I had no breakouts or redness occur.

That is where my "fine lines" are so I thought maybe it was zapping them!! Ha Ha!!!

Anyhow -- it has only been 7 days so I cannot come on here and say "my lines are gone"  (that would make a great music video!!), that would be truly amazing and I am sure they would not be able to make this fast enough if that was the case after only a week!!

I do like the way this leaves my skin feeling hydrated. 

The bottle is good size 1.7 oz and it takes very little product so I do plan on continuing with it to see how it goes. My guess is it will probably last at least a month! Will update you if my lines disappear!!!

 I was graciously given a bottle from the Adeline Beauty company to try in exchange for my opinion and review of their product. I do recommend this product -- even with the tingly, stinging I felt on the high cheekbones.

My skin is very dry and sensitive and usually I cannot use very many products because of that. Too be honest with the name Acid in the title I actually expected more discomfort! Ha Ha!!

Omega-3 Supreme 1400 mg Fish Oil Concentrate 180ct Review -- NO FISH BURPS!!!! #lifefood

http://www.amazon.com/pharmaceutical-omega-3s-fish-burps-absorption-molecular/dp/b00r56ix6a/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=utf8

75% Omega-3s

High Absorption

No Fish Burps

Pharmaceutical grade

molecularly distilled

healthy heart, brain and joint support

2 softgels supply

• Pure Fish Oil concentrate -- 1400 mg
• Total Omega 3 -- 1050 mg
• Eicpsapentaenoic Acid (EPA) -- 644 mg
• Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) -- 336 mg
• Other Omega 3's -- 70 mg

Ok, I am going to start right off in this review and make it clear that I have no idea what the good percentages are or actually what is even needed or required when it comes to Omega 3's

I do know they are an essential much needed nutrient in the body which most people are found to be deficient in.

Between joint support and brain support I know I am in dire need of this nutrient - LOL!!!

I was sent this supplement to try out by Life & Food and they asked for my honest review in return.

One thing I can say -- you take 2 of these tablets a day.  They are very easy to take and one thing I noticed the very first time I took this supplement was "no fish burps"

I know Gross -- right???  However, that is the main reason my fish oil tablets usually go back in the cupboard without getting taken is because

#1 the taste of the tablet usually makes them very difficult to get down

#2  You are reminded all day that "YAY!!  I took my fish oil supplements today!!!  YUCK!!!


This product does not do that -- so that is a BIG PLUS for me!!!!!  I know I shouldn't get grossed out so easily but I do -- so this feature appeals to me!!!

Ingredients consist of:
Pure Concentrated Fish Oil (from MSC-certified sustainable USA Wild caught Alaskan Polluck), IP certified natural mixed tocopherols (Natural Vitamin E).  Other ingredients: Gelatin, glycerin, food glaze, water, enteric coating.


Here are the BIGGIES --
Does NOT contain:
GMO's, gluten, egg, additives, fillers, binders, artificial ingredients, soy, milk, peanut, shellfish, stearates, sulfates, dioxides, or Laurates.

Adeline Anti Aging Moisturizer ~ Review

Ok, I am going to share another product review with you guys today on a moisturizer that I have been using almost a week now.

I have extremely dry sensitive skin as I am sure you all know by now if you read my blog very often at all.  I find it difficult to find moisturizers that don't end up irritating my skin!!

Putting this moisturizer on the first time I immediately felt a slight cooling sensation to my skin. The fragrance has a slight refreshing peppermint scent to it and is not overpowering at all.

I experienced no issues (burning, breakouts, redness or blotchy discoloration to my skin that I sometimes get when I have a reaction to moisturizer).  I really like this moisturizer.  It is very light feeling on the skin and absorbs quickly.  I experienced no greasiness or stickiness with this moisturizer.

While I cannot vouch for whether or not it will help with my wrinkles since I have not been using it that long, I do like it for its moisturizing and non-irritating qualities!!  I am sure the way it feels on my skin it will be of some benefit in the long run -- just have not used it long enough to experience any long term or dramatic results.

Adeline Beauty sent me this product to give it a try and asked me for my honest opinion of their product.

They are a small family owned and operated business and seem to genuinely care about their customers which I find reassuring when a company stands behind their products!!

Just check out what others have had to say on Amazon!!


Here is a list of ingredients in the moisturizer

Deionized Water, Witch Hazel Extract, Glycerol Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Carbomer, Polysorbate 20, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Shea Butter, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glyceryl Polymethacrylate, PEG-8, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Sorbic Acid, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate VP Copolymer, Ceterayl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, PPG-12 SMDI/Copolymer, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Disodium EDTA, Xanthum Gum, Peppermint Oil, Green Tea Extract, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate.

Even Glow Serum - Antioxidant Skin Treatment with 20% Vitamin C by Valentia Skin Care

Even Glow Serum - Antioxidant Skin Treatment with 20% Vitamin C by Valentia Skin Care

Click here to view it on Amazon

I received this serum from Valentia Skin Care 5 days ago.  They sent it to me to try (free of charge) and wanted my opinion on how it works.

 I have very sensitive skin and it is very hard to find a product that does not burn or irritate my skin.  I have only been using this for 5 days so while I don't see any visible results as in WOW!! I look younger - haha --

I love the way it makes my skin feel.  I usually have to put on moisturizer several times per day, but I have not had to use anything besides this the past 5 days.  I did get a little exuberant and was using it both in the morning and evening (because I liked the way it felt), until I received an email from the company last night and it stressed to only use it 1 time a day -- oops -- My bad!!!!

I am going to share with you some of what they told me about their product in the email they sent me last night.  Check out the ingredients!!!!

KEY INGREDIENTS

Organic Rosehip Seed Oil & Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil

These oils promote skin hydration and lock in moisture to protect your skin from signs of aging and improve its beauty and youthfulness. Rosehip Oil has specifically been used in medical communities around the world for those with serious skin aliments and only recently has North America learned to embrace natural alternatives from our ancestors. These 2 organic oils are full of antioxidants, therefore, acting as the perfect supporting cast for our best friend

- Vitamin C.Resistem (Plant Stem Cells)

This provides the perfect mix of protection from stress-related aging and promotes skin detoxification. Resistem will help your skin regenerate faster while protecting it from environmental stressors.

Hyaluronic Acid (Botanical)

Holding up to 1000 times its weight in water and drawing moisture out of the environment and onto the surface of your skin, there is not a more effective moisturizing agent on the market today. It penetrates deeply and activates collagen production for a fresher, younger, firmer, and brighter complexion.

Green Tea Extract

The catechins in green tea are a potent antioxidant which also contribute to the overall anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant benefits of this ancient health and beauty secret.

DIRECTIONS FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS

Because Valentia's Even Glow Serum is made of natural ingredients, though unlikely, it may start to separate as we refuse to use chemicals to bind together our ingredients. For optimal results, turn over the bottle and shake lightly for 1-2 seconds. Apply a small amount of the serum to your clean (and dry) face and neck daily. Allow the serum to dry before applying moisturizer and makeup. Some customers choose to use their Even Glow Serum in the morning, evening, or both. We highly recommend only using your Even Glow Serum once per day so your skin does not become overwhelmed with the new level of nutrients being introduced to it -- (oops - yep this was me!!!  It felt good!!!).

ok, back to me -- like I mentioned before it has only been 5 days and I have not had to use a moisturizer once!!  This has an awesome orange smell to me and I love the fact that is doesn't have tons of chemicals in it which I know would not be good for my skin.

So time will tell whether it makes me look younger (LOL), but in the meantime I am enjoying this awesome serum

Dehydrator-sheets Premium Non-stick Teflon Coated Size 14"x14" Fit for All Excalibur Dehydrators

Hi Guys -- like I mentioned earlier in the week - I would be doing a review on some dehydrator sheets -- here it is!!  #dehydratorsheets

Mom has an Excalibur Dehydrator and she is always bringing it over so that we can use it. There is nothing more frustrating than when the veggies or fruit start to dry and shrivel up and get stuck in the dehydrator trays. She had a few dehydrator sheets but not enough for all of her racks.
I was contacted last week about trying these dehydrator sheets in exchange for an honest review which I was tickled to do.
These are as advertised and work great. They are reusable so will last a long time.
However, I also wanted to mention what I discovered is how many things these are very useful for. I will probably have to purchase more just to be able to have enough for everything that I want to do with them. :)
They have a beautiful washable surface that just wipes clean (or you can toss them in the dishwasher). They are BPA free to use in your cooking (of course since these are made for your dehydrator).
Some of the other uses I found this week for them was
1) Lining my bathroom drawers with them (they can be cut very easily to the size that you need). This makes for quick and easy wipe off whenever you need to wipe the drawers out -- it is a breeze. If you don't get your nail polish lid on tight and you have some spill you will not be messing up the inside of your drawers -- and who knows it might even wipe off of these (don't know yet -- thankfully) -- but even if it doesn't you can just pitch and recut a new liner piece and your drawer is as good as new.
2) When I am making the polymer clay canes I can roll out my clay on these mats and work the polymer and it cleans up very nicely afterwards without messing up my countertops.
3) Works great as a painting palette mat. They protect your work surface and you can also just drop your paint right on the mat and use it as a palette. You will want to make sure any you use for your crafting are marked so they do not get mixed up with any of your cooking or dehydrating mats. I do still need to find a good pen that will "write" on them because my sharpie I don't think is going to stay :)

Here is some info from the seller on Amazon

Get Your Dehydrator Sheets here!!

Can be cut using a scissors to fit at any size

Will fit Excalibur dehydrator

High Quality and easy to clean

Non-stick, super flexible & reusable

Teflon coated & BPA free Product Description -- (also from Amazon)
These high-quality 14"x14" dehydrator sheets are easy to clean and dishwasher safe. They can be cut with scissors to fit any size and make your dehydrating task easier. The sheets are super flexible and perfect for fruit leather, roll-ups, taffies and more. These reusable sheets can be used with your Excalibur dehydrator and also make great liners for your baking pans. Its Teflon coated and BPA free as well.

I have several other things I am anxious to try these out on to see how they work. Who knows I may have another review later on. As mentioned above they can be used for pan liners when baking cookies etc. I have not gotten to try this yet, but several have mentioned on Amazon they have used theirs for this as well and cookies sound good -- so I am anxious to give that a whirl.
So -- my overall opinion on these are they work great not only for what they were created for but several other uses as well -- you get 9 of them and if you think outside the box I am sure you can come up with some awesome uses for them as well!!!!
I want to thank Lucky Star LLC for giving me the opportunity to try out these dehydrator sheets.

KOTEX Tampon RECALL

I justsaw this information from Kotex about tampons that have been recalled.  I am posting this information below.  If you have questions or concerns, please contact Kotex directly.

We are writing to let you know that Kimberly-Clark is voluntarily recalling tampons sold from October 2011 and November 2011 due to a possible contamination hazard.

The tampons were manufactured with a raw material contaminated with a bacterium which may cause health risks, including vaginal infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), pelvic inflammatory disease or other life-threatening infections. Women with serious existing illnesses, cancer or immune-compromised conditions, such as HIV, are at increased risk.

This recall involves 18-count and 36-count packages of the Kotex Natural Balance Security Unscented Tampons Regular Absorbency. Product SKU numbers 15063 and 15068 are the last five digits of the product’s barcode and can be found on the bottom of the package. Specific lot numbers can be found inside the red box located on the bottom of the package.

If you believe you are affected by this recall, you should immediately discontinue use of this product. Consumers should contact a physician immediately if they have used the impacted Kotex Natural Balance Security Unscented Tampons Regular Absorbency product and experience unusual vaginal discharge, rash, fever, headache, vomiting or abdominal pains, particularly if they are HIV positive, have AIDS, cancer, an existing serious illness or may be pregnant.

They should also contact Kimberly -Clark’s Consumer Services Division at 1-800-335-6839 so the necessary information and arrangements can be made to retrieve the unused product.

For additional information, contact Walmart Customer Service toll free at (877) 207-0923 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit the company’s website at www.walmartstores.com/recalls.
