Adovia Exfoliating Facial Sea Salts- Dead Sea Salt Exfoliating Crystals Review


I love all kinds of masks and try different types of masks all the time. When I heard of Adovia Exfoliating Facial Sea Salts, I was excited to try it. The product can be used on its own or mixed with  any of my existing masks. It helps keep the skin clear and to exfoliate the dead skin. Its a natural product made from the dead sea salt. I used it on my face and feet.

I never realized how much dead skin was accumulated on my feel until I used this product. Exfoliation is very important and should be done weekly or more depending on your skin type. This is mostly used for oily skin.

Here is the information about the product from their website.

    Tip for Normal to Dry and Dry skin types: Although this Facial Dead Sea mineral salt were designed for oily skin, a long-time client of ours who has a dry skin type gave us a great tip which she works great for her. She told us that she mixes the facial salts with some olive oil and exfoliates that way with the combination of olive oil and facial salts. She said that she gets the exfoliating effect and the benefit of the minerals going in her skin, and her skin stays moisturized and smooth. NOTE: We also recommend for all skin types to mix these facial salts with our Mineral Cleanser which will create a gentle and thorough scrub. You can find that combination offered at a slight discount here. Exfoliating Dead Sea Facial Salts are designed for use on oily skin.

Salts also naturally remove bacteria and excess oils, making them a great choice for oily skin types. To use, simply apply the exfoliating salts to a clean, wet face and massage gently








Even though the company mentions that the product lasts 2 months, I used it more than 12 times in the past one month and not even a quarter of the container is finished. The exfoliating crystals are packed to the rim of the container. We should be careful while opening the container since the sea salt crystals come out and spill.

On days that I have dry skin, I mix it with some oil and exfoliate. This is going to be a long lasting staple in my beauty regimen.

La Beatue Pure Hyaluronic Acid Review


I wanted to try Hyaluronic Acid serums since it was helping my skin so much. My skin is dehydrated and me staying indoors with an A/C is not helping my skin much. When I opened the bottle of La Beatue Pure Hyaluronic acid serum, it smelled divine. I used a little bit on my face and it disappeared immediately. My face felt smoother.

Here is some information from their website about La Beatue Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum.

The best anti-aging serum is like experiencing a rain forest. Topical hyaluronic acid serum holds up to l000 times its weight in water. It draws water out of the environment and onto the surface of skin for a younger, youthful skin tone.
The hyaluronic acid complex is rich enough to instantly infuse moisture giving a plump, smooth radiant glow. Subtle and fresh hyaluronic acid + msm serum with Vitamin C will leave dry and aged skin enjoying moisture.
The BEST hyaluronic acid serum is a powerhouse of botanicals that work synergistically for balance to all types of skin.
With this anti-wrinkle serum it enhances collagen via hyaluronic acid.
THE EXPERIENCE
Apply a small amount of hyaluronic acid gel (serum). Young skin will enjoy the serum once a day while mature skin will love the youthful plump skin from twice a day application.

Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror Review


When I heard of Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror, I was surprised. Have anyone heard of any Shower Mirror not getting fogged and remain visible in the shower. I have not seen any mirror like that. I like to use body oils immediately after shower for moisturizing.

When I received the Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror, I installed it in the shower. It was easy to install and hardly took much time. After shower, I looked at the mirror and was surprised to see that the mirror is still clear and I can see everything clearly in the mirror. It truly is a Fogless Shower Mirror. Even my husband loves shaving in front of the Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror. It is so easy to shave since the skin is moist during and after shower.

Here is the description available from their website.

Achieve A Flawless Shave Every Time   Why Shave In The Shower?

Warm and Clean
Instead of letting your razor sit on the sink, keep your razor both clean and warm under the hot spray of the shower.
Plus, no more messy sinks = Bonus points with the ladies.

Razor Burn Be Gone!
It's itchy, it stings and it leaves unsightly bumps that leave you feeling self-conscious. The steam from a nice hot shower softens hair and skin, while also opening up the pores for a closer shave, helping you say "Goodbye!" to razor burn

Continuous Hydration
It may not be seen as "manly" to worry about keeping your skin moist, but moist skin helps you get the most effective shave every time. Because really, who wants to look like they haven't shaved in days after waking up early to have time for a clean shave?

Modern Facial Contour Design
Our improved design was voted on by thousands of customers. The new Fogless Mirror has added width and height to match the shape of your face and neckline, making the best use of space in any shower

Included With The Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror
1 Stainless Steel Mirror Wall Mount
1 Stainless Steel Shaving Razor Wall Mount
1 Shatter-Proof Fogless Shower Mirror
















Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror really changed our life. It made us save time by getting ready faster. I sometimes use the Shower Mirror to apply makeup. It also helps while washing my hair or coloring my hair.

Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror will always play a part in my day to day life.

It is available at Amazon at: http://www.amazon.com/Fogless-Shower-Mirror-Nanotechnology-Exclusive/dp/B00CNOUZE2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406079106&sr=8-1&keywords=cassani+fogless+shower+mirror

Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder by Kiss Me Organics Review


I heard about the benefits of green tea from a long time but never got a chance to try it. I heard from friends that Matcha Green Tea is supposed to have even higher antioxidants than the regular green tea. Who doesn't want antioxidants these days.. :)

When I got a chance to try Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder from Kiss Me Organics, I was happy to try it. It is a green powder, very soft and smooth, smells like green tea and tastes a little bitter. Being a curious person, I couldn't help myself but taste it. You only need 1/2 tea spoon a day to get energy, vitality, beautiful skin and 137 times more antioxidants than regular green tea. It can be combined in any lattes, smoothies or desserts.

The below information is from their website:

ALL DAY ENERGY WITH INCREASED FOCUS

Matcha provides 4 to 6 hours of mild steady energy as it acts as both a stimulant and a relaxant. This is ideal for focusing on whatever the day throws your way.

METABOLISM BOOST

Consuming matcha green tea can increase thermogenesis (the body's own rate of burning calories) from a normal 8%-10% of daily energy expenditure, to between 35% and 43% of daily energy expediture.

IMPROVED SKIN HEALTH

​Scientists have discovered that Matcha Green Tea helps protect the skin from harmful UVrays, while improving blood flow and oxygen levels lifting the overall quality of the skin.

137x THE ANTIOXIDANTS OF BREWED GREEN TEA

Antioxidants are essential as you age to boost your body's natural defenses against oxidation. Researchers have found that a high level of dietary antioxidants can prevent many age-related diseases.








If you are not used to Green Tea, the taste might be a little harder to get used to. It is more of an acquired taste. I am used to drinking Green Tea, but not often. I always wanted to include Green Tea in my daily routine since it helps with weight loss and keeps skin healthy.

Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder can be used in so many ways and has so many health benefits. If people are not used to the taste, it can be used in smoothies or baking. The recipe book is included in the sale and it has more 50 recipes separated by sections. The different sections included in the recipe book are Matcha Drinks and Cocktails, Smoothies, Matcha Breakfast Recipes, Matcha Sweets, Breads, Dips & Toppers,  Pizza, Poultry & Seafood, Beef, Soup & Sides, and Matcha Shots. There are recipes suitable for all ages and groups. Everyone can find their own favorite matcha recipe. They are all easy to prepare. It gives detailed instructions and pictures.

One of my favorite and easy to prepare recipe is KissMe Matcha Green Tea Latte.

Below is the recipe as provided in the book.

Ingredients
1 tsp. Matcha powder
¾ cup almond milk (or soy or cow or goat milk)
¼ cup boiling water
1 tsp. agave syrup

Instructions
1. Place matcha in the bottom of a coffee mug or other heat-proof cup.
2. Bring almond milk to a simmer in a small pot.
3. Whisk boiling water slowly with the matcha powder in the mug, then pour in almond milk.
Tip the cup to up the foam factor.
4. Sweeten with agave syrup if desired.

Makes 1 latte.

I was able to notice increased energy levels immediately after I started drinking Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder. I had more energy, I was able to concentrate more, feel more refreshed and stay active for longer. It was like having an energy shot. I will definitely be using Organic Matcha Green Tea powder often. I really like the taste and the smell. I feel energized just smelling it. I started small and slowly increased it to a half teaspoon per day. This product is a winner in my book.

It is available at Amazon at: http://www.amazon.com/Matcha-Green-Tea-Powder-Antioxidant/dp/B00DDT116M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405021719&sr=8-1&keywords=organic+matcha+green+tea

Please be aware that if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, since Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder has caffeine, it is better to take a doctor's suggestion before using the product.

Day by Day Beauty Vitamin C Serum Review



I heard of Vitamin C serums and how it helps skin looking younger from a long time. This is my first ever Vitamin C Serum. I used Day by Day Beauty Vitamin C Serum for the past 3 weeks everyday morning and night. Even though I don't have sensitive skin, I wanted to be sure that I would not have any adverse reaction. I patch tested for a few days on my chin and it was fine. I started slowly by using it only in the night and after a few days I started using it during the day time. I wash my face and then use the Day by Day Vitamin C Serum immediately. It is watery in consistency and a few drops is enough to cover the whole face and neck. It absorbs fast into the skin and completely disappears. There is no sticky feeling ever. I did not notice any odor either. I do not have a sensitive nose. After 2 weeks, I noticed that my face appeared more clear, my hyper pigmentation marks are fading (There are still there but now appear less obvious than before) and my large pores are less visible. It helps with anti wrinkle and anti aging. It is one of the great serums available in the market right now.

The Day by Day Beauty Vitamin C Serum has 18% Vitamin C. It has a shelf life of 1 year. The Day by Day Beauty Vitamin C Serum is  98% Natural and 72% Organic. It is made in USA in a FDA approved facility.

I cannot guarantee that it will work for everybody, but please do patch test before you start any new product. I really like it and was able to see the results in 3 weeks. I am going to continue to use Day by Day Beauty Vitamin C Serum everyday to get the helpful benefits to my skin. It is a sure shot winner in my day to day life.
