True Glow Eye Cream by Valentia



As a beauty blogger you can probably imagine that I am slightly obsessed with skincare and you would be right!  One skincare product that I think you should start using as early as your late teens is an Eye Cream.  A good Eye Cream can make all the difference.  You really start showing your age around your eyes first (at least that is where it's most noticeable first) and it's why the earlier you can start using an Eye Cream the better.
When looking for an Eye Cream you should pick one that only uses quality natural and Organic ingredients like this True Glow Eye Cream by Valentia.  This True Glow Eye Cream contains Organic Rosehip Oil, Vitamin C, Astaxanthin and Arnica among others.  Combined these ingredients helps brighten up dark circles, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helps tighten and smooth, reduces puffiness and leaves eye area feeling well hydrated.  Everything you want from a good Eye Cream!
The cream itself has the appearance and feeling of a thicker cream but once it's applied it is instantly absorbed into skin and it wears perfectly under makeup.  Once pump is all you need for both eyes, a little goes a long way.  For best results I gently dab in the True Glow Eye Cream by Valentia all around my eye area and if I have any of the Eye Cream left over I will also use it on my neck!
This Eye Cream has everything that I look for in a great Eye Cream and more!  You can purchase the True Glow Eye Cream by Valentia on Amazon.com...

Triple Milled French Soaps by FLEUR D' EXTASE



I'm what I like to call a bit of a soap snob, if there is such a thing.  I don't usually buy soap from the drug store or just any ol' place.  I usually buy my soaps at Ross or T.J. Maxx where I find special Triple French Milled soaps that smell amazing and leave my skin feeling and smelling pretty incredible and they at a fraction of what they normally cost.  Triple French Milled is the process in which the soap is made.  The soap mixture is passed through high pressure steel rollers a minimum of three times, which is where "Triple French Milled" comes from.  The result of this process means the soap will be free of impurities, it will be more dense which means it will last a lot longer than a typical soap and it will be smoother and more creamy.  Basically, it's soap at it's best!
So, I was beyond excited to see this beautiful box of Triple Milled French Soaps by FLEUR D' EXTASE over on Amazon.  They are Triple French Milled, all natural, smell amazing thanks to the added Essential Oils of Lavender, Tahitian Vanilla and Rose among others and they come in a adorable gift box.  Wonderful little soaps that leave my skin feeling clean and smelling pretty amazing, if I do say so myself!

Moisturizing Gel Socks with Essential Oils by Kilimanjaro Health & Beauty


It may be a little too late for a "Last Minute Christmas Gift" but maybe you have a Birthday coming up?  If so, these Moisturizing Gel Socks with Essential Oils by Kilimanjaro Health & Beauty would make a great gift!  These socks are lined with a special gel that releases Vitamin E along with Essential Oils to help soften dry, rough and cracked feet and leave feet feeling moisturized, nourished and soft.  Plus, they also have a nice, soft Rose scent to them.
They are simply a little slice of heaven for your feet!  They might feel a little weird when you first slip them on, they are kinda squishy, but once the heat of your feet warms up the gel they feel pretty amazing.  I love slipping these on before bed, they are super comfy and then I can let them work their magic overnight and wake up with super soft feet.
I only wish they were a little bigger, more like ankle socks instead of bootie socks.  I'm not a fan of bootie socks in general but I don't actually wear these socks out and about with shoes on so I guess it really doesn't matter.  After all, I only wear them around the house to bed.
However, I do think these socks would be perfect to bring on a long flight!

The Ultimate Water Bottle by Xtreme Canteen



I will admit it.  I used to be one of those that bought cases of water and went through water bottle after water bottle.  Even though I recycled those bottles it still left me feeling like I was wasn't doing my part in trying to help keep our planet sustainable.  I knew I had to make a change and that's when I discovered a variety of stainless steel water bottles and I haven't gone back to a regular water bottle since.
If you have never experienced a stainless steel water bottle I am here to tell you that you are missing out!  I like my water cold, ice cold and that is my favorite thing about a high quality stainless steel water bottle like this one by Xtreme Canteen.  First thing every morning I fill up my Xtreme Canteen and the great thing is that ice will still be there so I can just keep filling it with water throughout the day.  Actually, I will still ice well into the next day.  Such a cool feature!  Plus, you can even put a hot beverage or even some soup in it and it will stay hot for about 12 hours!  I also love that it's 32 oz. (also comes in 40 oz!) because I drink a ton of water throughout the day and the larger size means fewer trips to the faucet.
This Xtreme Canteen is made with 18/8 food grade stainless steel, BPA free, 100% recyclable and has a lifetime warranty!  It also comes in a variety of awesome colors, my personal favorite is the one I have which is the Tiffani Blue!  Love!

Hyaluronic Acid by OZ Naturals


Hyaluronic Acid is one of my favorite skincare ingredients, right up there with Vitamin C.  Hyaluronic Acid actually occurs naturally throughout the human body and is a popular skincare ingredient.  Hyaluronic Acid is famous for being able to retain moisture and why it's so vital in anti-aging products.  In fact, it can hold up to six liters of water per gram!  Amazing!
Taking Hyaluronic Acid orally like this one from OZ Naturals can provide the body with additional Hyaluronic Acid to help keep skin hydrated, soft and plump and can also benefit hair, nails, eyes and even joints!
This supplement not only contains Hyaluronic Acid but it also contains MSM or Methylsulfonylmethane.  MSM is necessary for collagen production and it's also what helps keep skin ageless and youthful looking.  So taking a supplement containing these two powerhouse anti-aging ingredients is definitely something I would recommend.
I take 2 capsules every morning to help keep my skin soft, supple and young looking!
I am a huge fan of all things by Oz Naturals.  I have been using their products for over a year now and I am always impressed with the quality of the products and the results they deliver.

Hammered Copper Mug by Inspired Basics



Need a super last minute gift idea?  How about a Hammered Copper Mug by Inspired Basics?  I have mentioned my love of Copper Mugs here on my blog before and I just recently added this one to my collection.
Copper Mugs are perfect for taking your cocktails to the next level.  This Hammered Copper Mug by Inspired Basics is made with 100% Pure Copper, don't be fooled by "Copper Mugs" that have a stainless steel lining.  For the best tasting cocktail, especially a Moscow Mule, you should always choose 100% Pure Copper.  Pure Copper mugs are more expensive but worth every penny!  This one is handcrafted with a beautiful Hammered design.
Of course I love the traditional Moscow Mule but I have been inventing my own versions of it to help celebrate the upcoming Holidays.  My latest creation is the Pomegranate Moscow Mule...

Pomegranate Moscow Mule

1/2 ounce lime juice
1 ounce Organic Pomegranate Juice
1 heaping spoonful of Pomegranate Seeds

Fill Copper Mug half full of ice cubes and pour ingredients over ice,make sure to leave room for 1 heaping spoonful of Pomegranate Seeds, you can also freeze the Pomegranate Seeds before hand which will help keep the cocktail cold and will be a nice edible treat at the end.  Garnish with a Lime wedge and you have a Pomegranate Moscow Mule that's looks pretty and tastes delicious!  You can leave out the Vodka and make Virgin Pomegranate Moscow Mules as well.
**Remember that Copper Mugs are not dishwasher safe so make sure you hand wash them after each use to keep them looking shiny and beautiful!**
