T Wire Bracelet by Rongfa



Look at this simple, fun & funky piece I added to add to my collection!  This is a Stainless Steel, White Gold plated T Wire Bracelet by Rongfa that I have been able to wear with just about any outfit.  It slides on easily and is really comfortable to wear.  I've been wearing it with simple t-shirt and jeans outfits and I have even paired it with my workout wear!  After all, it's important to look good no matter what you are doing...right?
This same bracelet also comes in Rose Gold and Yellow Gold but the White Gold just looks so clean and crisp so it was an easy choice for me.  However, I love this one so much I might just have to add the other colors as well!

Antioxidant Oil Serum by Serum Ceuticals



Skincare is definitely an obsession of mine and one of the reasons why I started my blog in the first place.  It's great to be able to discover new brand and new products that actually work!  I have been really enjoying testing out a new line of products by Serum Ceuticals.  
This Antioxidant Oil Serum by Serum Ceuticals is a little different than a typical serum that would have an almost water-type consistency.  This serum is oil based so it is actually something that I would recommend putting on as the last step in your skincare routine.  It definitely has a more oil-type texture but it absorbs really nicely and does not leave any sort of greasy or oily residue.
This serum contains two of my all time favorite skincare ingredients, Retinol and Vitamin C so I already knew I was going to be loving it.  It also has some Beta Carotene, CoQ-10 and Vitamin E and this potent combination of ingredients can help with a whole variety of skin issues like fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, dull and uneven skin tone and even blemishes. 
Since I have been having some skin issues I have been giving my face a break from testing new products I have been testing this out for the last couple of weeks on my neck and decollete and so far I am impressed. 
I have a lot of hyperpigmentation issues on my neck and decollete thanks to my Melasma issues.  Even though I tend pay close attention to this area, at least probably more so than the average person, I am really bad about remembering to apply sunscreen so fighting my Melasma is a constant issue for me.  Thankfully, there are products out there like this Antioxidant Oil Serum by Serum Ceuticals!  After about two weeks of applying twice a day as part of my normal morning and evening skincare routines I have started to see some of  my Melasma spots start to lighten up and I have even noticed that my overall skin tone and texture have also improved!  Since this serum does have Retinol in it I have been really good about remembering to apply my sunscreen and it has definitely helped make a difference.
I would recommend this for all skin types.  However, because of the Retinol make sure you are using a good sunscreen!

Eye Lift Cream by Swissvita



One of my all time skincare products is eye cream. It's right up there with face masks and Vitamin C Serum. Sometimes a good eye cream can help you look younger in a matter of minutes, like this one from Swissvita.
For the last couple of weeks I have been testing out this Eye Lift Cream by Swissvita.  For me, this  "Eye Cream" is more like a gel.  It has a gel consistency and it's clear in color like a gel normally is.  However, since it's water-based it instantly just melts into your skin.  I love putting this Eye Lift Cream by Swissvita on first thing in the morning because it instantly absorbs and it instantly helps take away my puffiness.  It's especially great if I remember to put it in the fridge overnight, then the nice, cool gel helps wake me up too!
The basis of this Eye Lift Cream by Swissvita is that is contains the phytonutrient AC-11®, which is derived from a natural herb from the Amazon rainforest.  AC-11® is a safe, all-natural and water-soluble ingredient has been discovered to aid the body's natural skin tissue repair and slow down the process of skin aging.  This uniquely formulated Eye Cream is also supposed to help with dark circles and help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
When I put this on in the morning I not only see my puffiness disappear but my fine lines are less noticeable.  I have not seen too much of a difference in my dark circles yet but unfortunately unless I figure out how to get some more sleep in my life I'm thinking I might be stuck with those :(
Overall, I am really enjoying this Eye Cream so far and and looking forward to even better results with continued use!

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



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!

Probiotics are part of my everyday life.  I take Probiotics to help maintain the good bacteria in my gut which in turns helps me manage my weight, helps keep me from getting sick all the time and it also helps me keep my skin clear and bright.

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!
