Firming Flax Serum by Living Nature

*Firming Flax Serum by Living Nature

As a beauty blogger and self proclaimed skincare addict I of course use a serum in one form or another in both my morning and evening skincare routines.

This Firming Flax Serum is another great product by Living Nature and is the type of serum that I like to use in the morning.  

I like to apply this serum on my neck and decollete to freshly cleansed and slightly damp skin.  I usually wash my face, neck and decollete and then use my choice of toner for the day, apply a face mist on top of my toner, then apply this serum and then my moisturizer.  It sounds like a lot but that's how I roll.  This serum really helps to soften and firm the skin while smoothing out those fine lines and wrinkles and it even helps prep skin for makeup application!

Like a lot of their other all natural and organic products this one also harnesses the power of Harakeke Flax Gel and Manuka Honey which are nature's defense against aging!

Firming Eye Cream by Living Nature

*Firming Eye Cream by Living Nature

Sometimes finding a good, all natural Eye Cream that does everything you want it to do can be a bit difficult.  For me, the two most important requirements are that I want my eye cream to hydrate and smooth out my fine lines.  This Firming Eye Cream by Living Nature does exactly that!

This Firming Eye Cream by Living Nature uses the nourishing benefits of Manuka Honey and the soothing and plumping qualities of Harakeke Flax Gel to really help make this a potent Eye Cream!

I tend to use different Eye Creams in the morning than I do at night and this Firming Eye Cream is the perfect morning Eye Cream for me.  It's nourishes and moisturizes my under eye area but it's lightweight enough so it's quickly absorbed making it the perfect Eye Cream to wear under make up.  It also helps smooth out those annoying fine lines and that makes this all natural and organic Eye Cream a definite winner!  Being fragrance free also makes this Eye Cream a great choice for those with sensitive skin!

I have been testing out quite a few of the products from the Living Nature skincare line and I am really impressed with everything so far.  They are out of New Zealand and definitely a brand worth checking out!  You can take a look at their entire product line on their website and you can also purchase this Firming Eye Cream and other Living Nature products on Amazon.com...

SPF 30+ Sunscreen by Majestic Pure

*SPF 30+ Sunscreen by Majestic Pure

When I am picking out a sunscreen that I plan to use on my face I tend to be really picky.  It has to been at least 30+ or more, lightweight feeling on my skin, water resistant and above all it CANNOT clog my pores!

This SPF 30+ Sunscreen by Majestic Pure meets all of my requirements and then some!  I love that this is also made with 100% all natural and organic ingredients like, Organic Honey and Organic Sunflower Oil.  Another important factor is how well it wears under makeup.  And thankfully, this wears well under make up too!  As with all sunscreens just make sure you don't apply too much.  A little goes a long way with this sunscreen and if you apply too much it won't sink into the skin and your makeup will end up looking cakey and that's just not a good look for anyone.

Of course this sunscreen isn't just for the face, you can use it anywhere on the body.  But, for me this SPF 30+ Sunscreen by Majestic Pure is my "Must Have" sunscreen for my face, neck and decollete and what I will be wearing all summer long!

Retinol 2.5% Cream by Uptown Cosmeceuticals

*Retinol 2.5% Cream by Uptown Cosmeceuticals

Vitamin A or Retinol as it's most commonly known is a great anti-aging skincare product to have in your arsenal.  What does it do?  It basically tells skin cells to act like younger and healthier skin cells, which is why it works so well.  It almost literally helps "turn back time" on aging and damaged skin.
For heavily damaged skin you can have your doctor prescribe a topical cream like Retin A that is a Retinoid with a much higher dose than it's over the counter cousins.  However, you don't need a prescribed Retinoid to get really great results.
This Retinol 2.5% Cream by Uptown Cosmeceuticals is a great example of a skincare product that can give you results almost as good as those prescription brands.  It just might take a little longer, which is some cases might be better.  Retinol at a prescribed dose can actually leave skin red and irritated.  Using Retinol at a dose of 2.5% means it will gently help fade discolorations from sun damage, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and it can even reduce the size of pores that have enlarged due to clogging or sun damage.  Plus, it can even help increase collagen production!
If you find that you have sensitive skin do a test patch to make sure that you are not overly sensitive to the Retinol.  Once you know you are good to go start adding the Retinol 2.5% Cream by Uptown Cosmeceuticals to your nightly skincare routine.  I recommend using on your face, neck and decollete.  Just make sure to wear sunscreen during the day while using ANY Retinol product.  You don't want to undo all the hard work that the Retinol!
This worked really well on some Melasma spots that I have and of course I always use Retinol to help keep my fine lines and wrinkles at bay!

Rain Chain by Toil in the Soil

*Rain Chain by Toil in the Soil

I have always wanted one of these Rain Chains!  While it doesn't rain a ton where I live we do get pretty good storms when it does so I am patiently waiting for one of those storms too really see it in all it's glory!  In the meantime, I had to test it out with the hose so I could get the full effect of the waterfall sounds as the little pails fill up.  I don't know why but I have always liked the idea of Rain Chains versus a usual gutter downspout.  So much prettier visually and I love the sound that the Rain Chain makes.

This Rain Chain by Toil in the Soil is a really cute design that adds a little something special to our back yard.  We have some wind chimes that are made out of a similar copper material and also feature butterflies as well so they almost look like they are a matching set.  They look really nice hanging next to each other.  However, I'm thinking I need to get one more of these Rain Chains by Toil in the Soil so I can hang another one on the opposite side of the house too!

PainAway Essential Oil Blend by Phytopia

*PainAway Essential Oil Blend by Phytopia

I have tried a few other lovely essential oils blends from Phytopia, the SlimWay Grapefruit Essential Oil Blend, Stretch Mark Remover Essential Oil Blend, Tranquility Essential Oil Blend and now this PainAway Essential Oil Blend and I have really enjoyed all of them.  The two standouts are the Tranquility Essential Oil Blend and this PainAway Essential Oil Blend.

I have really been enjoying using this PainAway Essential Oil Blend.  While it doesn't give you that "icy hot" feeling like most traditional pain creams you do feel a nice cooling sensation and it definitely provides some serious relief for tired and achy muscles.  Not only does it help soothe tires and sore muscles but the blend of Evening Primrose, Peppermint, Rosemary, Eucalyptus and Lavender Essential Oils smells amazing which I'm sure helps melt away the tension and stress too.

My favorite way to use this is as a massage oil for my back and neck.  I have a lot of back and neck issues and having my husband massage this PainAway Essential Oil Blend feels incredible, especially if it's right before bed.  It really helps me relax which also means I sleep better as well.

I highly recommend trying any of the all natural and organic Essential Oil Blends from Phytopia, they are seriously amazing!

Parachute Hammock by Native Spring

*Parachute Hammock by Native Spring

There is just something about a hammock that is so relaxing, am I right?

This Parachute Hammock by Native Spring is the perfect hammock to just put up in your backyard or to take on a camping trip!  The great thing about this hammock is that it rolls up into a convenient drawstring bag so you can really take it anywhere!

I love having this set up in our backyard.  It becomes the perfect spot to take an afternoon nap or to sit and read a book while supping on my favorite cocktail.  However, since it's so easy to pack up into it's little bag I also love that we can take it camping with us too!

The hammock itself is really lightweight but also extremely durable.  It's also well made and even has triple stitching for additional support.  Technically this is a single person hammock but the fabric is nice quality 100% parachute nylon and has a capacity up to 600 lbs.

This hammock doesn't come with Hanging Hammock Tree Straps but I found some nice, inexpensive ones on Amazon that work great!

You can find this Parachute Hammock by Native Spring on Amazon.com as well as the Hanging Hammock Tree Straps...
