Vegetarian Quick & Easy - Under 15 Minutes Ebook-Review



Vegetarian Quick & Easy - Under 15 Minutes

Ebookpro sent me this Vegetarian ebook, *Vegetarian Quick & Easy - Under 15 Minutes to do a review and I loved how super easy the recipes are, plus it's only $3.49 on Amazon so what's not to love?

You must know that I am not a Vegetarian, at least not yet, I'm trying to get over my affinity for bacon (insert pic of poor helpless pig here).  I have actually been more interested in becoming a Pescetarian (no that is not a religion, lol).  A Pescetarian only eats fish or other seafood but not the flesh of other animals.  In the meantime, I try to choose foods that are healthy for me & my family and we also eat organic whenever possible.
With Vegetarian Quick & Easy - Under 15 Minutes the recipes are really easy and they also don't consist of a ton of ingredients and they are all ingredients that you most likely have on hand. Quick & easy is a HUGE must for our household but I like I said I also like to try and keep meals as healthy as possible and you can really do that with these recipes.  I made the Cheesy Quesadillas the other night because we are still moving into our new place and time is not something we have a lot of right now and the recipe called for chili flakes and I would have never thought of adding chili flakes to a Quesadilla.  Of course, I only put a few on mine since I can't handle the heat like the rest of my family but it was the perfect amount to add just a little "kick".  Plus, super quick & easy!  (My intention was to take a pic of the masterpiece but by the time I remembered we had eaten them all!)
The author, Jonathan Vine, also provides some great info on what it means to be a Vegetarian and even some tips on how to get organized and actually find time to cook for yourself and your family.
Go to Amazon.com and check it out for yourself!  By the way, I think it would make a great cookbook to get your kids and/or teenagers interested in cooking!

Must Have Monday-Memebox Special #29 Scrub Box



It's "Must Have Monday" and I am thinking I MUST have this Scrub Box by MEMEBOX!  If you are new to MEMEBOX and have been wanting a box to call your own then now is a good time.  MEMEBOX is constantly running specials on their boxes so if this Scrub Box does not interest you then they have a ton of other choices that will.  Each regular MEMEBOX contains a surprise of 4-8 full-size/deluxe samples of Korean beauty products.  Here a just a few examples of what they offer for $23.00-$29.00 per box + $6.99 for Shipping:




You can also purchase a SUPERBOX that contains full-sized surprise products only for $23.00-$79.00 per box + $6.99 for Shipping.  Here are few examples of the SUPERBOX:



 I love Korean Beauty and I love MEMEBOX!  I could actually do my "Must Have Monday" post on a few other boxes that I have my eye on but I love a good scrub so the Scrub Box won.  The only bad thing is that the boxes do take awhile to receive but I think they are worth the wait!  Have you tried a MEMEBOX yet?  If so I would love to hear what you thought about it so leave me a comment below...

Day by Day Beauty Hyaluronic Acid Serum-Review




The lovely people at *Day by Day Beauty sent me some of their Hyaluronic Acid Serum to test out for them and I have since become a Hyaluronic Acid convert!  I didn't know much about Hyaluronic Acid so I had to do a little research before I tested it out.  I was shocked to find out that it is found in most hospital burn units for the hydration of severely damaged skin.  I figured it it's used for burned & damaged skin it has to be good for my 41 year old skin.
For those of you that don't already know, I have very oily skin but oily skin needs hydration too and Hyaluronic Acid works perfectly.  Day by Day Beauty Hyaluronic Acid Serum has several other great benefits as well. Such as, plumping skin tissue to soften wrinkles, reduces dark circles around eyes and protects against environmental skin irritation.  Hyaluronic Acid Serum is has become a new favorite beauty product!  Make sure you check out the Day by Day Beauty website to check out all this and other products as well!

Nature's Best Vitamin C Serum-Review



Nature's Best Vitamin C Serum

I was sent this *Vitamin C Serum by Mystelic to try out and I am LOVING the results.  This is my first time trying a Vitamin C product and now I am wondering how I survived this long without it!  This particular Vitamin C serum also has Vitamin C, E and Hyaluronic Acid in it and all these ingredients help stimulate collagen production which helps reverse the effects of aging.  I also love it because I have extremely oily skin and the serum soaks right into my skin and I think it has actually helped with keeping my oily skin in check!  As if those benefits were not enough it has lightened my Melasma.  Thank you Mystelic because Vitamin C Serum has now become a "Must Have" in my skin care routine.
Do you already use Vitamin C Serum in your skin care routine or have you thought about adding it?  Let me know by leaving a comment below...
