Flameless Candle by Comenzar



Have you jumped on the Flameless Candle bandwagon yet?  I have and I've been there for awhile now and I'm loving it.  I used to be a HUGE candle freak and have them all over the house and I have also had a TON of candle mishaps.  You know the kind, knocked over candle and wax everywhere!  While I still enjoy the occasional candle I have pretty much resorted to only using Flameless Candles.  However, I still love the smell of candles so I do use the plug-in wax melting pots so that I can still make my house smell amazing but not have any worries about knocking over a burning candle!
This Flameless Candle by Comenzar is the first Flameless Candle that I have owned that actually has a remote control that comes with it and it's amazing!  I have a few other Flameless Candles that I have pretty high up and they have now been replaced with these that comes with a remote and it has made my life way easier, no more climbing on counters for me. :)
The candle itself looks very realistic, especially at night, you can't even tell the difference.  The 10-key remote allows you turn it off and on to set timer for 2,4,6 or 8 hours as well as static flickering light options and brightness levels so you can really customize the look and feel that you want.
This Flameless Candle by Comenzar is also really well made and more realistic looking than some of my other Flameless Candles that I have!

Albumin & Hyaluronic Acid Serum by Serum Ceuticals



Here is another great product by Serum Ceuticals!  This Albumin & Hyaluronic Acid Serum is another one that I have been testing out over the last few weeks and I have been impressed with my results for this one as well.
This Albumin & Hyaluronic Acid Serum by Serum Ceuticals contains yet another favorite ingredients of mine which is Hyaluronic Acid!  Hyaluronic Acid can help make even the most dehydrated skin re-hydrated.  It instantly adds moisture back into your skin and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  Now you know why it's a favorite of mine!  However, this also includes Albumin which is great at smoothing and tightening skin which of course also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
I like to apply this in the morning and in the evening around my eyes, down my neck and decollete.  Basically, where ever I am starting to see wrinkles.  Once the serum is massaged into skin you can feel the skin begin to tighten thanks to the Albumin and thanks to the Hyaluronic Acid it feels nice and hydrated!
I would recommend using this serum right before a big night out since it helps smooth out fine lines and wrinkles almost instantly.  Although the effects aren't permanent (not sure about long term effects after using this product long term) it's a nice way to look a few year younger for a special night out!
I would recommend this Albumin & Hyaluronic Acid Serum by Serum Ceuticals for anyone wanting a combination of hydration and instant smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles.

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. 
You can find this beautiful Royal Java Green Silk Batik Scarf by Novica on Novica.com or over on Amazon...

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!
