Glowing Skin

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


Now that I am in my mid thirties I have been taking even better care of my skin, in addition to cleansing, moisturizing and toners I have added an antioxidant serum. The chosen one is Valentina Even Glow Serum. I did received the serum for free to review and give you my readers my honest opinion ! 

Here are the benefits which are written on the box, in a second I will let you know what I thought when I used it.
It's alcohol free, paraben free, reduces wrinkles and fine lines. Evens skin tone, increases glow and radiance, absorbs quickly and last but not least it is made of 98% of natural ingredients (more than most food on shelves now a days, lol ).

I know the part you all have been waiting for.....Here are my thoughts. I thoroughly enjoy this serum. The dropper applicator makes it easy to apply to fingertips and apply.  The smell is intoxicating, it's a citrus smell - nice and light. It really does absorb quickly, I start at my forehead and by time I get to my chin it's already been adsorbed. It makes my skin look healthy and radiant not greasy at all. I wore it alone and under makeup. It is not heavy at all. Once it is on you do not feel it. I have sensitive skin and I had no reaction. I have started getting little lines ( not many mind you but some ) and they are vanishing with this serum. LOL maybe I need to gift this at Christmas ! Now family and friends are going to be paranoid I am referring to them !!

 I highly recommend The Valentia Even Glow Serum. You do not need to use a lot so the bottle will last you awhile. You can get it on Amazon, here is the link http://www.amazon.com/Vitamin-Serum-Antioxidant-Brightening-Absorption/dp/B00HJD8NLY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398285575&sr=8-1&keywords=valentia%27s+even+glow+serum.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

I went exploring

I took advantage of the weather yesterday and ventured out into the new neighborhood, I must tell you I really enjoyed having completely shoveled sidewalks. When I first moved here I was hesitant, there is no public transportation...none. No buses, subway, commuter rail, cabs..nada, zip zero however there are shoveled sidewalks so that pretty much makes up for it I guess. I could always borrow a horse, just kidding, there is no place to put the baby...again I am kidding !!

Back to my adventure; last week I spied a bakery called Bliss when I was out running errands with my aunt, I made a mental note of it's location and made it my destination. I am so glad I did, it was worth the hour long walk there and the hour long walk home ( my body is sore today ). I bought my mom an apple pie turn over which she had told me was very good. I got a vanilla cupcake with buttercream frosting for the girls to share and Jewels said it was delish, whoops some of the frosting got on my finger and OMG it was so good. I snagged a lemon tart for myself, the crust was oh so buttery and tasty the filling was tart and lemony, it tasted so fresh. Gina of course got in on the action, she just loves herself some lemon- lol ! Bliss Bakery was definitely worth the trek. In addition to sweets they also carry savory goodies as well such as home made soups, sandwiches and pretzels. 

While I was out I came upon an all natural grocery store which I went into. I came out with Hylands Restless Legs all natural pills. My legs have been twitching, cramping, jerking etc at night and making me nuts, I have been losing sleep over this. I took them last night and they helped immensely. I am so glad I went into the market. Also the market holds seminars, have all natural beauty items, skin care etc. My new town is quite "granola " and I am loving it !
