Royal Java Green Silk Batik Scarf by Novica

*Royal Java Green Silk Batik Scarf by Novica

I think a nice scarf is a "Must Have" for every wardrobe.  Especially a nice silk one like this Royal Java Green Silk Batik Scarf by Novica.  Once again, pictures do not do this justice!  The colors are much more rich and vibrant in real life.  The greens, creams and reds used in this scarf are beautiful and unique.  Plus, the pure silk is unbelievably soft.  

Made by Yuni Kristina she recreates the traditional parang raja batik motifs which symbolizes the ancient Javanese kingdom in general.  Her attention to detail and pride in her craft comes through and the scarf becomes a wonderful piece of art that you can wear!

I like to pair this scarf with a jean jacket, white t-shirt and tan pants for a more casual, "with a touch of elegance" kind of look.  This Royal Java Green Silk Batik Scarf by Novica adds the perfect finishing touch to any outfit.

This Royal Java Green Silk Batik Scarf by Novica is an original Novica fair trade product in association with National Geographic and designed by Yuni Kristina.  It comes with an official Novica story card certifying quality & authenticity.

Natural Arabica Coffee Scrub by First Botany Cosmeceuticals

*Natural Arabica Coffee Scrub by First Botany Cosmeceuticals

I love a good scrub and this Natural Arabica Coffee Scrub by First Botany Cosmeceuticals is a great scrub!  First of all, you should know that I am allergic to coffee but thankfully only when I ingest it!  It's the weirdest thing ever, my eyes swell shut and the skin around my eyes will start to peel, super attractive.  Anyway, I absolutely love the smell of coffee and of all the scrubs I have tried I have yet to try a coffee scrub so I was excited to finally get to test one out!

 This scrub is now a top favorite of mine!  Not only does it smell amazing, like fresh brewed coffee..yum, but it also works amazingly well.  The organic coffee grounds combined with the organic coconut oil and dead sea salt makes for a soothing yet very effective scrub.  After just one use my skin felt super soft and smooth.  I've been using it for a couple weeks now and while I can't say that I've noticed any change in the appearance of my cellulite my skin definitely feels softer and smoother.  We all know that no cream or scrub can get rid of cellulite :( but some products can and do help to soften and smooth the skin so cellulite becomes less noticeable and I can definitely see this scrub making that happen!

Supposedly, you can also you this on your face but since I have very oily skin I have to be very careful about what foes on my face and since this Natural Arabica Coffee Scrub by First Botany Cosmeceuticals also has Shea Butter in it and Shea Butter tends to break me out I didn't try this on my face.  However, I did use it on my neck and decollete and love they way it left my skin gently exfoliated, soft and smooth!

*100% Pure Rosewater by Joyal Beauty

Rosewater has become a staple in my everyday skincare routine.  I love it and can't be without it.  If you have been wanting to try out Rosewater for yourself I would highly recommend this 100% Pure Rosewater by Joyal Beauty.  This Rosewater is the real deal.  All Rosewater is not created equal and this one is definitely a cut above the rest.  It's steam distilled from the unique Rose Damascena in Bulgaria Rose Valley.  Bulgaria Rose Valley is one of the best Rose areas in the world since it provides just right condition to cultivate this unique rose.  This Rosewater is all natural and organic, it's the first water from the Organic Rose Damascena rose petals.  There is no added artificial rose fragrance, no alcohol and no chemical residues.

I use my Rosewater several times a day depending on how my skin feels.  I like to spray my face, neck and decollete right after I use my toner to help prepare my skin for my moisturizer.  I like to apply my moisturizer while my skin is still damp, I think it helps my moisturizer absorbs easier.  Plus, I get the extra hydration from the Rosewater!  I also like to use it as a makeup setting spray and I will even spritz it on throughout the day as a makeup refresher.

Rosewater will not only hydrate and moisturize your skin but it will also help maintain skin's pH balance, calm and cool the skin and leave it feeling refreshed.  It can also help with hyperpigmentation issues and soften fine lines and wrinkles.  Rosewater is greatly beneficial to ALL skin types!

Derm-A-Renew by Vivant SkinCare

*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 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.
