Bitpsy Professional Jumbo Lemon Squeezer-Review



I'll admit it as much as I like to make cocktails I've never used any kind of juicer/squeezer.  I usually just squeeze my Lemons and Limes by hand and thought that worked just fine.  Boy was I wrong!  After using this Professional Jumbo Lemon/Lime Squeezer by Bitpsy I now know what I have been missing out on.  
I recently used the Squeezer to make my Moscow Mules that I feature in a previous blog post and I was totally amazed at how well it worked.  I used fairly large limes and they fit perfectly in the Squeezer and I was able to get what seemed like every last drop of juice out of the lime!
The Bitpsy Professional Jumbo Lemon Squeezer is great quality and made from Stainless Steel so it won't rust or peel.  It's also super easy to clean, I just rinsed it off and threw it in my dishwasher!
I love this thing and cannot recommend it enough!


Go to Amazon.com for more information or to purchase one for yourself!  I also think it would make a great gift idea for any cocktail enthusiast!!

Vitamin C E Serum by Complete Skin Solutions-Review



Here's another "Must Have" Vitamin C Serum to try out!  This one is by Complete Skin Solutions and it's a great option.  I just did a review on their Niacinamide Pure Vitamin B3 Serum and I really liked that as well, you can read my review on that, here.
I like that this Vitamin C Serum also contains Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid.  These ingredients combined with the Vitamin C work together to penetrate damaged skin and stimulate new collagen, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, lighten hyperpigmentation and create a more smooth and even toned complexion!
I have been testing out so many products on my face lately that it has become a little angry so I only tested this out on my neck, decollete and shoulders but I noticed a difference almost immediately.  My skin definitely seemed more plump, fine lines were less noticeable and the Melasma on my neck even lightened up!


I am really impressed with Complete Skin Solutions and their products!  They use quality ingredients and they do not contain any Parabens or pore-clogging Oils and...they are Cruelty-Free!  You can purchase their products on Amazon.com...

Niacinamide Pure Vitamin B3 Serum by Complete Skin Solutions-Review



Niacinamide or Vitamin B3 is a key anti-aging ingredient in a lot of skincare products these days because of the excellent effects it has on skin.  Niacinamide helps stimulate and boost collagen production and while diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  It also works great on hyperpigmentation issues which is one of my main skincare concerns.
So far I have been really impressed with the Niacinamide Pure Vitamin B3 Serum that Complete Skin Solutions sent me.  First of all I LOVE the fact that it does not contain any nasty Parabens or pore-clogging oils and that they are cruelty-free!
 The serum itself is actually really lightweight, non-greasy so it absorbs really quickly and it seems to be unscented which is always a good thing.  Plus, a little goes a long way and that is always a good thing!  Overall, this serum worked really well for me.  Especially since I deal with all of the skin issues that Niacinamide is good for like, aging, hyperpigmentation and acne.  After about 2 weeks use I noticed that my skin appeared to more smooth, my hyperpigmentation was not as noticeable and it even helped clear up a breakout!  That's a WIN for me!
If you deal with a multitude of skin issues like I do I would consider giving this serum a try!  You can pick some up on Amazon.com...

Petunia Skincare 1.5mm Derma Roller-Review



***Holy Grail Alert***  If you are not using a Derma Roller as part of your skincare routine you need to start ASAP!  Seriously.  I'm not kidding...lol.
I have become slightly obsessed with Derma Rollers and I have been trying out various needle sizes.  The needles sizes can range from 0.2 all the way up to to 3.0.  I'm not sure if they make them stronger than 3.0 but if they do I'm sure it's something only a doctor could get their hands on.  Each size is used to treat a specific range of  skin issues from acne, lines & wrinkles to scars and even stretch marks.  Basically they work by remolding the skin by creating thousands of microscopic channels through the skin, increasing the formation of new tissue by activating the body’s wound healing properties. The micro-channeling causes the release of growth factors that promote scar-less healing and the deposition of normal woven collagen rather than scar collagen.  Derma Rolling also allows your skincare products to penetrate your skin at a much deeper level thereby enhancing their overall effectiveness.  This one from Petunia Skincare is the 1.5mm size and it works perfectly on scars and can even be used on Cellulite and Stretch Marks!
In my opinion, a Derma Roller really is a Holy Grail skincare tool.  The needle size you may need will depend on what kind of skin issues you are dealing with.  (See chart below)

Lemon, Peppermint & Lavender Essential Oils by InstaNatural-Review



I am all about Essential Oils lately and I have been on a craft kick making all sorts of things using them.  One of my favorite brands, InstaNatural sent me some of their Essential Oils, Lemon, Peppermint & Lavender to try out so I have been using them in my crafts.  I've made Lavender Body Scrub, Lemon Face Wash and even some Peppermint Roller Ball "perfume" that I use to soothe my headaches, among other things.
Lemon Oil has great astringent and purifying properties which makes it the option for making cleansers and toners for skincare.  I also like to use Lemon Oil when crafting my own cleaning products!
Peppermint Oil is a multi-purpose oil that can be used for all kinds of things.  It energizes and refreshes the body and mind.  It's great for soothing headaches and sore muscles and perfect for aromatherapy to improve the mind and lift the spirits.
Lavender Oil is probably the most popular of Essential Oils.  It's great for relaxing and rejuvenating the body and mind and can be used in a wide range of products.  It's not just for personal use either, Lavender Oil is also a really popular scent in home care products as well.
All three of these oils are very high quality with very intense scents, which make the perfect for creating you own unique products.  Go to Instanatural.com to check out their Essential Oils and other products.  You can also find their products on Amazon.com...
