I have been curious about chemical peels but certainly wasn't going to have one done!
I will, however, test out an at home serum!
First wash your face and pat dry. This serum is very runny almost to the consistency of water. Apply it all over your face. As I was applying it, I was starting to feel a burning cessation. I was about to wash it off but before I even finished applying it, the burning stopped.
Leave it on for about 30 minutes. Wash it off and apply a moisturizer.
I didn't have any other discomfort. I didn't wake up to a red face.
This peel causes the top layers of skin cells to dry up and be peeled of over a period of one to two weeks. The new layer of undamaged skin is exposed with a smoother texture.
It contains a high concentrate facial serum for tightening, lifting, wrinkle reducing, anti-aging, and fading dark spots.
This formula is different than other peels because it effectively activates nurturing, soothing healing and hydrating with Vitamin Bs, Beta Glucan, Chitosan , Botanical extracts and more.
I haven't noticed any HUGE change in my skin, but I have only used it a few times. I do plan to continue with it for a few weeks to see if I notice anything happening.
This is a pretty reasonable serum, right now its under $24, check it out on Amazon.
I received this product for free in exchange for my HONEST review.
With summer here in full force, I love being outside! I don't want to cook or wash dishes. Ok, who am I kidding, I don't wash dishes, that's what the dishwasher is for, but I still have to load it!
I would much rather be outside with the kids running around and the grill going.
Options are limited on the grill though, until I got this new grill mat set! I had never even known of such a thing! Its awesome! Now I can cook damn near ANYTHING on the grill!
I have cooked fish on the grill with a holder that sandwiches the fish. Its a mess! The fish falls apart and cleaning that thing is a nightmare! With this mat, just throw the fish on there and cook away!
You can even cook breakfast on this thing! Eggs and pancakes anyone? Awesome for camp outs! No need for foil. Drop down your grill mat and your cooking on a clean surface!
A backseat baby mirror is an absolute necessity! I always try to give one as part of a shower gift. I know everyone needs one and most new moms don't know how crazy they are going to go with every noise baby makes.
Baby Caboodle's backseat mirror is extra large. It measures 11.8 x 3 inches! No need to squint to see what baby is up to!
Its also adjustable and easy to install. I have put in a few of these and they can be a pain! This one is designed with easy to tighten straps. Set it and forget it!
Best of all, right now its under $16 on Amazon! They are also offering a 150% money back guarantee! I'm pretty sure they are insane!
The phone is held in by a hard plastic shell which is attached to the leather cover. The camera is accessible through the opening in the back.
I love that it holds a few cards. Who needs more than a few anyway?
I personally like having the phone completely covered. I feel like it helps to protect the face of the phone. The cover is held close by a magnetic flap.
I like that the phone can sit up in this case.
I forgot to mention that its under $9 on Amazon right now!
Castor oil is known for the wide range of benefits, here are a few:
1.It is great for hair and scalp. Mix it up with some egg white and glycerin then use it as a conditioner. Rinse well.
2.Great for hair growth. Rub it onto exposed scalp massaging for a few minutes. Cover your head with a shower cap and let sit overnight. Wash off and repeat at least 2-4 times a week for maximum results.
3. It can help control split ends. Just by moisturizing your hair it helps penetrate damaged dry hair. Strong hair does not break or split as easily.
4.Its a great lubricator. Just rub it where ever you hear a squeak and its good as new!
5. Castor oil is said to induce labor. Hmm, I would have liked to have know about that years ago!
6. It works great to remove tiredness from around your eyes. It is similar to petroleum jelly but without the mess. Before bed rug a little around your eyes. It will soak in overnight and leave you looking and feeling a bit more refreshed in the morning.
7. By massaging castor oil into achy joints it will relief some pain from arthritis. You can mix it with turmeric or cayenne powder to make a past and rub it into your joints.
8. Apparently, moles hate castor oil. If they are tearing up your yard or garden, mix 1/2 cup of castor oil with 2 gallons of water. Pour it into the molehills. It doesn't kill them, but it does make them move out!
9.By mixing a teaspoon of castor oil with a glass of orange juice or cranberry juice each morning, it will keep your bowels working regularly.
10. When your ferns are droopy, mix a tablespoon of the oil with 4 cups of warm water and a tablespoon of baby shampoo. Just drip 3 tablespoons into the dirt around the fern and follow with regular water.
I'm no fitness expert by any stretch, but I think I stay on top of whats available pretty well.
The fitness core ab slider discs - THAT was a new one on me!
These things are SO cool!
Along with the sliders, you get a storage bag and a booklet with tons of exercises.
They are small and portable and require very little space to use, so there are no more excuses!
The exercises that you do with these sliders are low impact while also providing a full range of motion. They force your muscles to stabilize by creating an unstable surface on carpet or hardwood.
When we received these we were eager to try them out. My kids fought over who was going to get to try the next exercise. The booklet provided us with a dozen different moves to try.
I thought, if my kids can do it, how difficult can it be?!?
Jokes on me! It is pretty difficult, at least for someone who hasn't been exercising. I am sure that with these discs you can get a complete full body workout! Right now they are under $20 on Amazon! You can't beat that!
