Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask by Valentia



Another great product by Valenia!  I mentioned this Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask in my Natural & Organic Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask & Eternal Youth Exfoliating Scrub by Valentia blog post and how it is the perfect mask to pair with their Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask for a multi-masking sesh.  Multi-masking is a great way to cleanse and detoxify skin where needed while using a super hydrating mask like this one to help skin look and feel plump and supple everywhere else!
This Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask by Valentia helps hydrate, tone and firm skin by using a Silk Protein Amino Acid blend, Botanical Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E, Organic Rosehip Seed Oil, Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil along with Japanese Green Tea, Aloe Vera and CoQ10.  Together these ingredients also help to soften fine lines and wrinkles and lighten hyperpigmentation.  Skin looks more firm, supple and even toned after just one use.  I loved my results with this mask!
Set aside some "me" time and plan a little pampering for yourself.  Multi-masking is the perfect way to take care of all your skin needs at once.  So, pour yourself a glass of wine, put in your favorite movie or grab whatever book your reading and just sit back, relax and let they masks work their magic!

Natural & Organic Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask & Eternal Youth Exfoliating Scrub by Valentia



If you follow my blog or any of my social media for GlamRiver then you already know I have a slight obsession with masks.  I am also not biased when it comes to a mask.  I like them all, sheet masks, clay masks, gel masks, you name it, I've tried it!  I love masks because to me a mask to me means instant results.  You also don't have to spend a fortune when it comes to a mask, there are some really good inexpensive masks out there.  However, sometimes spending a little extra is well worth the splurge.
My favorite kind of mask is a clay mask.  There is just something satisfying about feeling the the impurities being sucked out of your pores as the clay dries.  Love it!
I've recently been testing and loving a few new products from Valentia and one of them is the Natural & Organic Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask.  I have to say it's pretty fabulous.  It's made with Kaolin Clay which is what draws the impurities from your skin and we all know I love that!  However, this mask is a little different because even though it has the Kaolin Clay which helps keep skin blemish free it also has other skin loving ingredients like Hibiscus and Cranberry fibers, Spirulina and Astaxanthin and they skin feeling rejuvenated, soft and smooth.  It's really the best of both worlds!
I totally recommend pampering yourself with an at-home spa day and multi-masking this Natural & Organic Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask with the Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask by Valentia and 20 minutes later you will have seriously amazing feeling and looking skin!


Now if you really want to have soft glowing skin I recommend starting off a multi-masking sesh with this Natural & Organic Eternal Youth Exfoliating Scrub also by Valentia.  Made with nourishing vitamins such as A, B1, B2, D and E and antioxidant-rich green and white tea this scrub gently exfoliates to reveal fresh new skin.  Get rid of that dead, dull skin and reveal brighter, smoother, younger looking skin!
I am a big believer in in exfoliating.  Exfoliating is a great way to keep you skin looking young and fresh.  However, I also know it's not for everyone.  Not sure if you should exfoliate?  A simple piece of tape can tell you if you should exfoliate or not.  Just take a standard piece of clear tape about 4 inches long, apply it to your forehead and rub it gently for a few seconds, then remove.  If you see dry, flaky skin then you need to exfoliate!  A few other signs that you need to exfoliate are if your skincare products are no longer working, your skin looks and feels dry and dull or if you have any old scarring from blemishes.  Still not sure?  Just try a gentle exfoliator like this Natural & Organic Eternal Youth Exfoliating Scrub by Valentia and if your skin feels softer and smoother then exfoliating is for you!

Comfort Fit Silicone Wedding Band by Love Is Bold



Since my husband is in construction it's probably been about 10 years since he has worn his wedding ring.  He used but he works with his hand all day and it's just too uncomfortable.  Not to mention he broke then proceeded to loose his first wedding ring and when we got him a new one he just stopped wearing it all together for fear of the same thing happening to the new ring.  Thankfully, this Comfort Fit Silicone Wedding Band by Love Is Bold came along.  We ordered him a size 11 in the black and he loves it.  He can wear it all day without it even noticing its on.  
The Comfort Fit Wedding Band is made from Silicone so it's not only comfortable it's also very durable, not to mention washable.  When my husband sets tile and gets grout all of his ring he doesn't have to worry about it getting damaged, the grout rinses right off!
If your husband works with his hands all day then I would definitely recommend this ring for him, he will love you for it!  Or, maybe you work with your hands all day?  I have a girlfriend that is a hair stylist and she wears one of these rings too!

CoQ10 Complete Antioxidant & Energy Support by OptimalXT



I didn't know CoQ10 has so many health benefits until I decided to do a little research before I started taking this CoQ10 Complete Antioxidant & Energy Support by OptimalXT supplement.
CoQ10 does a variety of great things for you but my personal favorites and the reason why this will now be a permanent supplement for me are that it gives you increased energy (totally need that!), helps speed recovery from exercise and it also helps to slow the aging process!
It also provides antioxidant support and helps prevent free radical damage which is essential these days.  It's also been used to lower blood pressure and improve heart health.  Overall, I think just about anyone could benefit from taking CoQ10.  However, if you have serious health issues I would consult your doctor before taking any supplement.
Unfortunately, I just recently discovered that have sensitivity issues with Magnesium Stearate which is listed as one of the ingredients listed on this particular supplement so I am not able to continue taking this it.  I am just glad I was made aware of all the great things that CoQ10 can do for you!  If you don't have Magnesium Stearate sensitivity issues this brand of supplement should work just fine for you!

Lightweight Yoga Mat by Veda Yoga



 A home gym is just not complete without a nice quality Yoga Mat!  It also doesn't hurt if it's pretty!  Like this one that I just got this Lightweight Yoga Mat by Veda Yoga in this beautiful purple color! 
However, there is more to this Yoga Mat by Veda Yoga than a beautiful purple color.  It's the perfect size and thickness making it durable, soft and cushy and it even has a little texture to make it non-slip because there's nothing worse than sliding right off your Yoga Mat! 
 It's also easy to clean, to keep it simple I just use a 100% Natural & Organic Yoga Mat Cleaner by Asutra in the Lavender scent and a microfiber towel.  It's quick, easy and smells nice!  Speaking of smells, the other thing that like about this Yoga Mat is that it doesn't have that overwhelming plastic smell that most Yoga Mats have.  I don't know if that's one of the features but I love that about it!

Suspension Strap System Pro Kit by Pinjian Fitness


Another awesome piece to add to my growing home gym!  This is a Suspension Strap System Pro Kit by Pinjian Fitness.  It's great quality, well designed and it comes with several different options for anchoring it and I highly recommend it.  Just make sure you anchor it correctly.  I leave all that kind of stuff to my handyman husband but it does come with am easy set-up guide as well.  
If you have never used a Suspension Strap System for a workout you are missing out.  You can workout your entire body using a Suspension Strap System, in fact you use muscles you didn't even know you had when you work out with a Suspension Strap System!
Here is a link to a video by Kai Wheeler that shows a lot of the different workout options you can have with a Suspension Strap System...

I am beyond excited to add these Push Up Bars to my home gym!  They are the perfect addition and just what I needed.  I've really been wanting to focus on my upper body strength and push ups are one of the best exercises for the upper body.  However, these Push Up Bars are taking my Push Ups to the next level.  Not only is my upper body getting a workout these Push Up Bars are also helping to improve my core strength as well.  Who knew there were so many different ways these could be used!
These Push Up Bars are lightweight and made with great quality steel and retail for only $19.99.  They are also reinforced and have non-slip rubber feet as well as soft and comfortable foam lined grips.  The Push Up Bars are also easy to collapse and assemble so I could even take them with me when I travel if I wanted to!
Having a complete home gym is a goal of mine for 2016.  Since I live out in the boonies it's not really practical for me to have a Gym Membership.  So, I am slowly but surely growing my home gym and I am excited about being able to include pieces like this!
