Alpaca Wool Blend Throw Blanket by Novica



A little bit of luxury all the way from Peru!  This is another beautiful piece from Novica!  Handcrafted by Jorge Priori in Peru and made with an Alpaca Wool blend this piece is not only beautiful to look at but very functional as well.  The blend of the dark chocolate and cream colors are neutral enough to combine with any type of home decor or style.
I personally love to keep this on our sofa since it's super soft and is the perfect throw to use when there is a bit of a chill in the air.  This Alpaca Wool Blend Throw Blanket by Novica looks and feels luxe but is durable enough to be used everyday.
This Alpaca Wool Blend Throw Blanket is an original Novica fair trade product in association with National Geographic and designed by Jorge Priori in Peru.  It comes with an official Novica story card certifying quality & authenticity.

Derm-A-Renew by Vivant SkinCare



This has fast become one of my favorite skincare products!  This Derm-A-Renew by Vivant SkinCare is basically an all-in-one serum that takes care a multitude of issues.  A serious multi-tasking product that contains ingredients like Niacinamide, Lactic Acid, Kojic Acid, Retinyl Propionate and Oligopeptides.  Together these ingredients help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, help stimulate skin cell production of elastin fibers which makes skin more firm and supple, helps improve skin tone and lighten hyperpigmentation and improves skin tone and texture.
I have been using this on my face, neck and decollete for about two weeks as part of my morning and evening skincare routines.  I have already noticed that some of my old blemish spots are becoming less noticeable and the texture of my skin looks and feels more smooth!  I have also noticed that my fine lines seem more plump and smoothed out.  Yay, #KillTheCrow!
I love a product that can treat a wide variety of issues.  I already have a very full skincare routine but I like to mix it up and if I can replace a couple of products with just use one that means I am saving time and money!
I have oily, blemish prone skin and this Derm-A-Renew by Vivant SkinCare works great for my skin type.  It has a gel/serum type texture that is instantly absorbed and wears well under moisturizer and makeup.  It's also very gentle and non-irritating so I think it would work well on any skin type.
I have tried other products by Vivant SkinCare that have all delivered great results.  I am always impressed with their products and they are definitely a brand that I have come to know and trust and one that I would highly recommend.

Eucalyptus Oil by The Essentials Co.



Eucalyptus Oil is something I like to use when I am feeling a bit under the weather.  For me, it's the natural way to fend off bacteria and infections.  This Eucalyptus Oil by The Essentials Co. recently helped me get over a cold that I felt coming on.  I simply placed a few drops in my Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier and Aroma Diffuser everyday for about 4 days.  I also intermittently placed a drop underneath my nose and inhaled the aroma of the Eucalyptus Oil.  I never ended up getting a full blown cold and I know I have the combination of inhaling the Eucalyptus Oil directly and putting it in my Diffuser to thank for it.
Since Eucalyptus Oil has antimicrobial and antiseptic properties it can also be used to treat minor 
 wounds, scrapes, burns and even bug bites and stings.  It can also help relieve pain and keep areas from becoming infected.

Nature's Moisturizer by Ancient Greek Remedy




I am all about using natural and Organic remedies to help heal and treat any skin issues that I have going on.  That's why this Nature's Moisturizer by Ancient Greek Remedy fits perfectly into my skincare routine.
Nature's Moisturizer by Ancient Greek Remedy is made with a 100% Organic Blend of Olive, Lavender, Almond & Grape Seed Oil which can help heal a variety of skin issues from dry skin to more annoying problems like Eczema.  Unfortunately, I tend to get a recurring Eczema spot in my hairline as a result of stress and since I'm in the middle of my busy season  I've been more stressed than usual.  The spot is really bothersome usually takes anywhere from a week or two to heal but after using this product for only two days it started to clear up.  Needless to say, I was surprised at how quickly this Nature's Moisturizer by Ancient Greek Remedy was able to heal it!  
If this stuff can heal my stubborn Eczema I can only imagine what else it can heal.  Plus, the other great thing about this is that it's Hypoallergenic, leaves no oily residue, does not contain animal fats, man-made chemicals, dyes or color additives.  It's also not tested on animals, is animal friendly and is vegan, pesticide and GMO free!

Magnetic Screen Door by Premium Choice Products



Obviously this is not a beauty or skincare product but I had to share this cool product with my readers!  I love this Magnetic Screen Door by Premium Choice Products.  Unfortunately we do not have screen door on our back door and come spring and summer our pets are constantly wanting in and out and the bugs are constantly wanting in.  The solution is this Magnetic Mesh Screen Door!  You get the best of both worlds, nice breeze, pets can go in and out as they please and the super strong magnets that are sewn into the seam helps keep it closed.
This is a great quality Magnetic Mesh Screen Door, don't make the same mistake that I did last year and buy the "As Seen On TV" one that they were selling at Walmart!  I ended up taking it back because the Magnets were on the outside of the screen and with the dogs and cats running in and out they inevitability just fell off.
This one is made with great quality materials and again, the Magnets are sewn into the seem which makes ALL the difference!

Organic Rosehip Oil by Skinfood New Zealand



This Organic Rosehip Oil is by Skinfood New Zealand is another keeper!  I recently tested out and reviewed their Organic Coco + Nut Oil and loved it so I was excited to try something else from them and I was equally impressed with this Rosehip Oil.
Unlike other Rosehip Oils that I've tried this one had a rather pleasant smell thanks to the added Sweet Orange Oil.  I've gotten used to oils not smelling the greatest and I don't really mind since they do such awesome things for my skin, however, this Rosehip Oil actually smelling good was a nice change.
100% pure and Organic, rich with powerful antioxidants and essential fatty acids this oil absorbs nicely and leaves skin feeling soft and silky with a nice glow.  I like to apply Rosehip Oil to my neck, shoulders and decollete since it helps hydrate and even skin tone it's perfect to use on areas that have seen to much sun over the years.  Rosehip Oil can also help reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks so it's also nice to use as an all over body moisturizer.
Love this oil, plus it's perfect for all skin types so my oily skin loves it too!

Bulgarian Lavender Essential Oil by First Botany Cosmeceuticals



We use a TON of Lavender Oil in our house.  It's one Essential Oil that we use several times a day.  It's used in our Essential Oil Diffusers and we also use it to put on our Wool Dryer Balls and throw them in the dryer to help make our laundry smell fresh and clean.  Plus, I also like to rub some on before bed to help me relax or if I am just feeling a little stressed and need help chilling out.  Needless to say we go through it pretty fast!
I have tried several Essential Oils from First Botany Cosmeceuticals and I am always happy with the quality of the oils and their smell.  This Bulgarian Lavender Essential Oil is no exception.   It has a lovely smell and texture and it also blends well with other Essential Oils.  I also love that it comes in a 4 oz. bottle since we go through it so fast.
If you are into Essential Oils as much as I am then I think you will enjoy this Bulgarian Lavender Essential Oil by First Botany Cosmeceuticals!
