Bionic Oxygen Facial by Exuviance


As a beauty & skincare blogger I have a few favorite skincare brands that I absolutely love and and Exuviance is definitely at the top of my list!  I have tried several of their products now and I am always impressed with not only their products but more importantly...the results!  Most recently I have been testing out their new Bionic Oxygen Facial.  If you follow my blog then you already know how much I love a good mask and this Bionic Oxygen Facial falls under the mask category for me.  However, it is very unique and actually quite fun to use!  
What is it?  The Bionic Oxygen Facial by Exuviance is a triple oxygenating blend that delivers an infusion of pure essential Oxygen to detoxify and it helps stimulates vital cell energy and provides essential support for optimal collagen levels.  Skin feels re-energized and complexion looks more youthful and luminous.
How does it work?  You massage a generous amount of the blue lotion type liquid in an even layer on clean, damp skin.  Within five minutes the blue lotion turns into a thick, white, oxygenating froth that tingles and then gradually disappears.  Once the white, oxygenating froth has completely disappeared and stops tingling then you just rinse your skin to reveal de-stressed, radiant and more soft and supple skin.
After I use this Bionic Oxygen Facial my skin really does feel like I have just had a facial at the Spa.  It's just has an overall glow, and it feels like the dead dull skin has been sloughed off leaving new skin in it's wake.  Skin looks fresh, bright and feels amazing!
For best results use 3-4 times a week.  It's also perfect for "special event skin"!  With all of the Holiday parties on the horizon this Bionic Oxygen Facial by Exuviance would be a great investment and it would give you that healthy, "glow-from-within" look we all want, perfect for those Holiday parties!
I think investing in your skin is one of the best things you can do for yourself and this Bionic Oxygen Facial by Exuviance is SO worth it and a little goes a long way so one bottle will last you for quite awhile!  If you haven't had the pleasure of experiencing any Exuviance products yet this one would be a great start.  You can find it and their other fabulous products at Exuviance.com.

Pure Copper Hammered Moscow Mule Mug by Stubborn Mule



If you have ever had a Moscow Mule both in a normal glass versus a Copper Mug then you already know that the ONLY way to have a Moscow Mule is in a Copper Mug.  If it's not made in a Copper Mug then don't even bother with it.  They don't even taste the same when it's in a normal glass.
This past year I have had my fair share of Moscow Mules and they are definitely one of my favorite cocktails.  However, I found another cocktail that is as equally delicious as my beloved Moscow Mule.  It's called a Strawberry Basil Lemonade and I found the recipe for it over on the thekitchn.com, you just need to adjust some of the measurements to make sure that it fits into your Pure Copper Hammered Moscow Mule Mug by Stubborn Mule instead of a 16 oz. glass!  Make sure you try this one out, it's not only delicious but super refreshing.

Strawberry Basil Lemonade

1 Copper Mug
3 strawberries - de-stemmed
5 basil leaves
1.5 ounce Smirnoff Strawberry Vodka
1 ounce Island Oasis Strawberry Puree (or just pureed strawberries)
Fill with Lemonade (I use Organic Lemonade)

Muddle 3 strawberries - de-stemmed, with the five basil leaves and Smirnoff in a 16-ounce glass. Mix Strawberry Vodka, and Island Oasis Strawberry Puree in mixing glass or martini shaker. Add ice, shake for 15 seconds and pour into glass. Fill with lemonade and stir.
Garnish with extra strawberry and basil.


The Pure Copper Hammered Moscow Mule Mug by Stubborn Mule is made from 100% pure Copper and is hand crafted in India.  It's also dishwasher safe but I recommend hand washing and drying with a hand towel to preserve the Cooper.  You can purchase this beautiful mug over on Amazon.com (styles may vary).

Pomegranate Oil by BEAUTYOILS.CO



You know I love my oils!  Thankfully it seems like I keeping coming across ones that I've never tried and that I get to test out.
Recently, I have been testing out this 100% Pure Cold Pressed Pomegranate Seed Oil by BEAUTYOILS.CO.  I've tried several other oils by BEAUTYOILS.CO so I am very familiar with the brand and I'm always impressed with the quality of their oils.  This Pomegranate Seed Oil does not disappoint!  I am already testing out enough stuff on my face so I decided I would use this primarily on my the rest of my body.  Apparently, Pomegranate Seed Oil is really good to use on  various skin irritations and inflammation, including dry skin, eczema, psoriasis and even sunburned skin.  I don't currently have any of those issues but I can tell you it worked amazingly well as an all over body moisturizer!  I like to apply the Pomegranate Oil right after I get out of the shower while my skin is still a little damp.  It is absorbed into the skin fairly fast and leaves it feeling hydrated, soft and smooth and doesn't leave any greasy residue.  Since it was so hydrating I also started using the tiniest little bit around my eyes just before bed to help soften fine lines.
I have yet to meet an oil that I don't like and I am glad to add this Pomegranate Oil by BEAUTYOILS.CO to my growing list of oils that I love!

Tip:  Use a little on the ends of you hair to help mend split ends too!

Go to beautyoils.co to find out more about this Pomegranate Oil and you can purchase it on Amazon.com...

Activated Charcoal Powder by Zen Charcoal



Chances are you have probably heard about Activate Charcoal in one form or another, unless of course you've been stranded on a deserted island for the past year and then maybe this is the first time your hearing about it!
Activated Charcoal has many uses but primarily my interest lies in the ways you can use it as it pertains to beauty and skincare, for obvious reasons.
Truth be told this is my first experience with the powder version of Activated Charcoal.  I have used countless beauty products like masks and Konjac Sponges that contain Activated Charcoal but I have never experienced in it's raw form.
One thing you should know about Activated Charcoal Powder is that it is very, very messy!  It's actually not a big deal but just know you'll need to give everything a good wipe down when your done.  My favorite thing to do with this Activated Charcoal Powder by Zen Charcoal is to make a detox mask.  You can really customize the mask depending what is going on with your skin but I like to mix the Activated Charcoal, Water (sometimes I use Rose Water or a little Apple Cider Vinegar), Aloe Vera and if I am really wanting a good detox I will add a few drops of Tea Tree Oil but you can add any essential oil.  Depending on how thick you want the mask to be you simply add less or more water.  I mix everything really well, apply to skin using a brush (way less messy) and then let it dry for 15-20 minutes and rinse off.  Skin feels clean, soft, smooth and detoxed!  It's one of my favorite DIY masks!

Tip:  I purchased a DIY Mask Bowl set from Amazon it comes with a small bowl, measuring spoons, spatula and brush all for the low, low price of $2.21 + free shipping!  It's been a life saver and I highly recommend getting one for yourself if you like to mix your own masks like I do!


Pick up your own bag of all natural Activated Charcoal Powder by Zen Charcoal on Amazon.com and get detoxed inside and out!

Power Pearl Probiotic by Well State



Taking a Probiotic is a good thing and during this time of year it's actually a great thing!  I rely on a good, quality Probiotic like this one from Well State that I have been taking to help keep my immune system healthy.  Not only will a Probiotic like this Power Pearl Probiotic by Well State help support your immune system but it can also help improve your energy level and also help balance out your digestive system.  It can possibly even help shed a few pounds by balancing out your digestive system it can also improve your metabolism as a result.
I wish I would have started this round of Probiotic sooner because it probably would have helped me from getting this nasty cold which then turned into a sinus infection and ultimately Strep Throat.  I've been under a lot of emotional stress lately due to a death in the family so I should have known that my immune system was going to be affected and started taking this Probiotic sooner.  However, since I ended up being put on antibiotics it's became the perfect time to start taking it.  I definitely attribute my being able to get over all my issues a lot sooner because I started taking the Power Pearl Probiotic by Well State.  I think it also helped give me so much needed extra energy to power through work when I otherwise would have been at home and in bed.
This Probiotic contains zero sugar, preservatives, GMO, nuts, wheat, gluten, lactose, chemicals, yeast, soy, iron and no artificial colors.  Nothing but the good stuff!  I really recommend this for anyone needing an immunity boost or if you have any digestive or intestinal issues.

Make sure you check out wellstate.com for more information and to purchase go to Amazon.com or click on link below...

Neem Oil by Oleavine



While I've used Neem Oil in the past it's been awhile so I decided to take a second look at it.  I didn't know much about Neem Oil other than it worked really well as a therapeutic treatment oil.  So, I decided to do a little research and found that Neem trees are actually native to India and other parts of Asia.  They are known as a Margosa Tree in English and their botanical term is Azadirachta Indica.
Neem Oil has been used in India since thousands of years and is used in many medicines for its disease fighting properties.  Another thing I didn't know that I find fascinating is that every part of the Neem tree is beneficial and can be used because of the anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-parasitic
properties they contain.
Who knew it was SO beneficial!  I have been using this Neem Oil by Oleavine for just about everything lately.  However, our favorite way to use Neem Oil in our household is to treat my husband's Eczema (works amazingly well for Eczema), for minor cuts and scrapes, bug repellent and it works amazingly well on Acne flare ups!  I will warn you and say that Neem Oil has a very distinct smell and it's not all that great, it's a cross between earthy and antiseptic smelling.  I don't mind the smell but my husband isn't crazy about it at all.  But, I guarantee the benefits are totally worth it!
Neem Oil can help reduce redness, inflammation and swelling, removes impurities and tightens pores, helps to lighten hyperpigmentation, deeply moisturizes skin and it can even diminish fine lines and wrinkles!  Plus, it's great for all skin types and is non-comedogenic.
Overall, Neem Oil is a great product to have around.  It has countless uses and the best part is it's all natural.  I highly recommend this Neem Oil by Oleavine for it's superior quality.  It's 100% natural, cold-pressed, unrefined and solvent-free.
You can pick up this Neem Oil by Oleavine on Amazon.com...which by the way is a HUGE bottle and since a little goes a long way will last forever!

Vitamin C Serum by eliminer



If you follow my blog then you've heard me mention my love of Vitamin C Serum a million times.  I love it because it can take years off your face!  It can help with all kinds of issues like fine lines and wrinkles, boosts collagen, helps firm the skin and helps fade hyperpigmentation.  Now do you see why I love it so?
This Vitamin C Serum by eliminer is a great blend of not only my beloved Vitamin C but it also contains an Amino Blend, Vitamin E, Ferulic Acid, Jojoba Oil and many other potent natural and Organic ingredients.  It's a lightweight serum that instantly sinks into skin and wears perfectly under makeup. For best results use as part of your morning and evening skincare routine.  Apply the serum to your face, neck and decollete for best, overall results.  Allow a couple of weeks before you start to see results but you can also see visible results almost immediately if you are using twice a day like I do!  Great product that is safe for all skin types!
