Morning Pep Blanched Almond Flour



I will be honest I have never baked with Almond Flour before.  Mostly because my husband is allergic to all nuts so I have to be really careful about what the product comes in contact with.  However, I have been wanting to make a more "healthy" version of a chocolate chip cookie and I found this great recipe for Raw Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough on one of my favorite food blogs, Texanerin.com so I decided to make them!  I am so glad I did! They are delicious!  I'm sure this Almond Flour by MorningPep had something to do with it.  The quality of flour is excellent, it's made from 100% whole blanched almonds, it's light and fluffy and you can tell it is very fresh.  The MorningPep Blanched Almond Flour is low in carbohydrates and is a good source of protein, fiber, calcium, iron, magnesium and vitamin E.
This Almond flour is also a great option if you have Gluten allergies!

LeliaSea Hand Cream Review & Giveaway



Being a beauty and skincare blogger I'm constantly trying and testing out a wide variety of products.  One of my favorite products to test out (besides masks of course) is hand cream!  I cannot even tell you how many hand creams I have tested over the years.  I'm fairly picky about my hand creams, however, I also like a variety of hand creams to choose from.  Sometimes I want a light hand cream that absorbs quickly and other times I want a nice and thick hand cream that will just sit and kind of marinate on my hands and then eventually soak in.  I also like a hand cream that falls somewhere in between.  Where I am and what I am doing always influences what kind of hand cream I use.
This Hand Cream by LeiaSea has been my one and only "go-to" Hand Cream for several weeks now!   Which is kind of amazing since I have about 5 different ones that I use on an everyday basis.  It just provides the perfect amount moisture to my overly dry hands without feeling greasy and also leaves them feeling incredibly soft and silky.  I also really like the light, fresh scent and a little goes a long way so that is a bonus too!  I've also been using it on my feet and it has really helped soothe and heal my dry, cracked heels.  The LeliaSea Hand Cream definitely gets a 5-Star rating from me!

Lucky for us, LeliaSea has been producing skin, face, body, hair and healthcare products for over a decade!  Their products are based on Dead Sea minerals and vitamins and their revolutionary patented formulas bring immediate results in skin firmness, elasticity, hydration, texture and radiance, making the skin look, act and feel younger.  LeliaSea products are Paraben free and they combine the minerals taken from the depths of the Dead Sea with herbal extracts, essential oils, and multi-vitamin complexes to create unique and amazing products.
Would you love a chance to try the LeliaSea Hand Cream for yourself?  Well, LeliaSea was nice enough to sponsor a Giveaway so one of my lucky readers will win a 1.7 oz size tube of the healing and hydrating LeliaSea Hand Cream!  Giveaway starts 06/08/15 @ 12:00 p.m. PST and ends 06/15/15 @ 12:00 p.m. PST. Sorry, U.S. Residents only.

Rechargeable Electronic Pedicure Foot File & Callus Remover by Naturalico



I don't know about you but one of the first things I do when Spring & Summer hit is to go get a Pedicure so my feet can come out of their winter storage (winter shoes & socks) and into fun sandals & flip flops!  For the most part I pretty much ignore my feet during the winter with the exception of the occasional nail polish.  So, as you can imagine, by the time Spring rolls around my feet are in desperate need of a Pedicure.
This is where the Naturalico Rechargeable Electronic Pedicure Foot File & Callus Remover comes in!  This has fast become one of my favorite new beauty tools and one to add to my "Must Have" list.  I love being able to do my own Pedicures at home.  I just whip out this tool and within a minute I have softer and smoother feet.  I love to use the Naturalico at night before bed and then put some intensive foot cream or salve with some socks.  In the morning you wake up with baby soft feet!
The Naturalico is a foot exfoliation tool that gently lifts away dead skin and minimizes calluses.  It's less abrasive and much faster than manual files and pumice stones and it costs less than what you'd pay for professional pedicures!  It has a powerful motor, the foot file spins a full 360° at speeds of 40 turns per second.  There are also two speeds from which to choose for customizing your treatment.   Plus, I love that it is rechargeable!  I loathe buying batteries.  The unit itself is water-resistant for super easy cleaning and it also comes with 2 Grinding Roller Heads and Cleaning Brush.
What are you waiting for?  Just think of all the money you will save on Pedicures this summer!  For more information or to purchase go to Amazon.com...

enLIGHTen by Trinity



If you follow my blog then you know I suffer from Melasma which is a REALLY annoying skin condition that causes brown to gray-brown patches on the face.  Most people will get it on their cheeks, bridge of their nose, forehead, chin, and above their upper lip but it also can appear on other parts of the body that get lots of sun, such as the forearms and neck.  I tend to get in patches scattered across my face, neck and chest.  Needless to say I am always on the hunt for anything to help lighten those unsightly patches!
My newest find is this cream by Trinity called enLIGHTen!  I'm pretty excited about this product.  I tested out a spot on my chest and within 3 weeks there was a very noticeable difference and now it's barely noticeable at all.  The best part is, enLIGHTen uses only natural ingredients like Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Kakadu Plum, Salicin and Lycopene to lighten the skin!  Most skin lightener creams use hydroquinone which is a harsh chemical and one that I have been trying to avoid.
I would give enLIGHTen a 5 star rating since it only uses natural ingredients and because it works!  enLIGHTen can be used to lighten dark spots, uneven skin tone and Melasma.  It can also helps to lighten freckles, birthmarks, dark inner elbows, knees, age spots, sun spots, liver spots, acne scars, old scars, choasma, hyperpigmentation and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Organic Jojoba Oil by Renewalize



This Organic Jojoba Oil by Renewalize is amazing!  I have been using it everywhere, from head to toe.  Plus, I've discovered I love Jojoba Oil just as much as I love Argan Oil!  What I love most about Jojoba Oil is that it works great on my oily and blemish prone skin.  It also leaves my hair shiny, soft and silky while it helps heal my split ends.  I think oils have become another skincare addiction for me and Jojoba Oil has become a "Must Have" skincare product!
Jojoba Oil does a great job mimicking sebum which is the oily substance secreted by the sebaceous glands in our skin.  The main purpose of sebum is to make the skin and hair waterproof and to protect them from drying out.  However, an excess of sebum, can make the skin or hair oily.  Since Jojoba mimics sebum so well it can actually help control how much excess sebum the skin produces thereby balancing out the skin and making it less oily!
This Organic Jojoba Oil by Renewalize is unrefined, cold pressed and 100% Pure USDA Certified Organic.  It can be used as an all natural moisturizer for hair, skin and nails.  It's rich in Vitamin E and essential fatty acids and it's fast absorbing, non greasy, odorless natural oil that makes your skin feel well hydrated, soft and smooth.  It can also help diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles!

Vitamin C Serum by Oz Naturals



Oz Naturals is a brand that I have really come to love.  I have tried quite a few of the their products now and have been impressed with all of them.  So, naturally, I was really looking forward to trying out their Vitamin C Serum.  I have yet to find a Vitamin C Serum that I don't like and I love Oz Naturals so I already knew I was in for something special!
The Oz Naturals Vitamin C Serum is unique since it not only contains 20% of the highest quality Vitamin C but then it also has Hyaluronic Acid and an Amino Blend to create a potent antioxidant serum that not only helps diminish wrinkles and even skin tone & smooth texture but it also protects skin from environmental stressors.  The serum itself is really lightweight so it immediately soaks into your skin and goes to work below the skin's surface to help the skin produce more collagen.  It goes on smoothly and helps protect and brighten your skin throughout the day, leaving it feeling hydrated & moisturized.  The Oz Naturals Vitamin C Serum also helps nourish cells allowing skin to heal naturally and help lift and firm the skin.
