NightSkin™ was formulated under the professional supervision of Arthur W. Perry, MD, FACS. Dr. Perry is a board certified plastic surgeon, author, radio personality, and researcher. His NightSkin™ formula represents an accumulation of decades of studies and personal knowledge. It is the most innovative, practical, and effective formula that Dr. Perry has ever seen, and he believes it will reduce your desire for some dramatic procedures such as Botox and Restylane injections, and chemical skin peels.

When Dr. Perry’s team began brainstorming on the ultimate skin formula, they considered the factors that bother people the most about physical aging: wrinkles, age spots, and drying skin. To address these issues, they composed a formula that was made with only the ingredients that have been shown in real research to yield positive results:

Retinyl Propionate – A form of vitamin A. The natural enzymes in skin convert this to retinoic acid, which improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation.

Glycolic Acid – A powerful and comfortable exfoliant. It sweeps away the dead layer of skin on the surface of the face, making your skin feel smooth and beautiful. It also supports the skin’s natural collagen synthesis and moisturizes the skin.

L-Ascorbic Acid – An antioxidant that assists your body in fighting free radical damage in the skin. This special form of vitamin C also supports the skin’s natural collagen production.

Licorice Extract – Contains glabridin, an herbal skin brightener. Along with NightSkin’s other key ingredients, glabridin decreases the appearance of brown pigmentation in the skin.

Unlike store-bought skin creams which feature small amounts of these ingredients (to make for a nice label), NightSkin™ gives you the adequate amounts that will provide noticeable results. Best of all, NightSkin™ goes on at night. This way, you’re free to wear your make-up during the day, and then you can fight the signs of aging while you’re sound asleep! Source: NightSkin.com

So to test this out I first cleaned my face to make sure the nasty stuff from the day was cleared off. At night I used the Nightskin on the areas I wanted to target, which was my face, and gently massaged the product in until it was invisible.

I was really skeptical about the product and didn’t expect much of anything to happen overnight, but when I woke up I was quite excited to see if anything at all had happened. When I woke up, I did feel like my face was much more smoother and rich feeling that it has ever been. It just felt much healthier.

After using NightSkin for a good few months, I do notice that there is a change in how my skin looks. It looks healthier and doesn’t feel as dry as it used to. Winter is usually a bad time for my skin, it seemed like no matter what products I tried, my skin always felt really dry. So far with using the NightSkin, my skin has never felt dry. I also never experienced any breakouts with the NightSkin which is what I’m always afraid is going to happen with I use skincare, I have sensitive skin so it’s always hard to tell what will make me break out.

At first I was a little skeptical of the iron actually working because I’ve tried other brands of flat irons that didn’t work so well and seemed to take longer than I was able to wait. This Remington Wet 2 Straight Hair Straighter can be used on either wet or dry hair. I tried it out on towel tried hair and was quite surprised at how easy it was and how well it did work.

The straighter features  30 different heat settings that range from dry, fine fragile hair to we, normal thick hair so no matter what type of hair you have, you can use it. On the top handle part of the iron is a digital LCD display with touch pad temperature controls so you’re able to easily adjust the settings to your needs.

I love the fact that this straighter eliminates frizz.. I have such a terrible time with frizz, especially during the summer, so this will be nice for those nights we plan to be out a while.

The straighter was easy to use.. it’s pretty self explanatory actually.. It didn’t take long for it to be ready to use either.. I timed it about 30 seconds which is great for those days when you don’t have a lot of time.. I hate waiting for things to be ready to use!

Another cool feature is the automatic shut off feature.. I always worry about leaving the iron on after we leave so I’m glad to know this will shut off on its own if I forget.

The only thing I wish it had was a comb attachment or some sort of comb like features on the actual iron itself. This would be a little helpful for me when I straighten hair.

The NEW Wet 2 Straight Iron is available at Target or Wal-Mart for $29.99 for the 1” Flat Iron (Model S-7901) or
$34.99 for the 2” Flat Iron (Model S-8001).

Yoga Sandals are  a yoga sandal where you can custom fit the spread that you need for your toes, your joints, your feet and your body.

What makes these really cool is that each yoga sandal is fitted with a removable strap which is easy to adjust. Simply slip that strap off and replace the toe separators with what you need. Whether you need a toe separator that spreads more or less, is softer or harder, one for each toe, or just for a certain toe with these yoga sandals you can start with a narrow toe separating and then work up to wider toe separating.

I love thought behind these.. they are very economical and not to mention fun and stylish. They’re also very comfortable and I wouldn’t mind wearing these while we’re out and about during the summer.

The slope of the sole helps support the heel bone and helps guide the foot into it proper position in the separators giving you stability and balance which is good for the feet and body structure.

The sandals are also perfect for those pedicures we women love so much. They help keep your toes separated so your polish doesn’t smudge! They are even carried by salons, spas, fitness studios and wellness centers across the country!

I’m loving this Cinda B bag because it’s the perfect size for toting around all of my lotions, makeup and travel accessories when we travel. The bag has a flat bottom so that it stays upright on the counter, sink, dresser or wherever I set it. I myself don’t really care for the type of bags that don’t have a flat bottom, sometimes, when they’re smaller they’re not so bad, but for the larger bags a non-flat bottom makes it a little harder to see what all you have in your bag then when you set it down somewhere you have to place it on it’s side, so you risk the chance of your things falling out. But with this Cinda B bag and it’s flat bottom it makes it really easy to get to the contents as you need them.

I was sent an x-large size, which is fairly big and roomy, but not too big. Know what I mean? The bag measures 12″W x 6″D x 6½”H so you have plenty of room for the things you need.

The design of the cosmetic bag is cool. It’s very colorful and chic. A Little Bit of This is the only retailer in Chicago, IL that carries the Cinda B bag line and if we lived closer I’d probably be at their shop at least once a week to buy some new things.. but thankfully you can order from their website www.abitofthis.com!

Also, A Little Bit of This can personalize everything they carry, which I love! I don’t know but something about seeing my initials on this cosmetic bag made me feel a little special! The stitching on the initials was very good and professional. Not like some of those that you can tell were machine done and have some mistakes or come lose after just a few weeks of using.

At A Little Bit of This you can find a ton of great quality items including:

• Totes
• Diaper Bags
• Robes
• Hats and other clothing
• Home Decor
• Blankets
• and much much more!

If someone you know has a birthday coming up, baby shower, wedding or any other event.. be sure to check out A Little Bit of This for your gift giving idea.. and don’t forget the upcoming holidays!!

Many women are trying to find beauty products that are pure and fight aging naturally.  Until recently, I haven’t used any natural products that went beyond moisturizing.  Now I am using some of SIRJJ organics AcaiBerry by wisdom line.  Acai is noted for its high concentration of antioxidants, which helps fight aging.  I was impressed at how well the cleansing cream and moisturizing creams worked and how my skin felt afterwards.

You can see that these products are natural as soon as you open them.  They are beige in color and have specks of raw teas, herbs, and powders in them.  What is amazing is once you apply them, these specks disappear and the application is smooth.  The products smell somewhat like tea, as there are no perfumes or scents added.

I start each morning with the AcaiBerry by wisdom Cleansing Cream.  It works into a nice lather and leaves my skin feeling clean and moisturized.

I followed up with the AcaiBerry by wisdom SPF 10 Day Cream in the morning and the Rehydration Cream at night.  Both left my skin feeling firm and moisturized.  I was also happy to have a natural moisturizer with SPF, as skin cancer runs in the family.

This is a great line for people looking for natural beauty products with no additives, chemicals, perabens, or carcinogens.  They also have many other products for all stages of skin care needs, as well as for men and baby skin care.  These products are priced in line with boutique and natural salon products.

Before I would just throw my accessories, makeup and more in a plastic shopping bag and throw it in the suitcase. Most of the time things would be ok.. but once in a while something might leak or break and then it would be all over everything.

But now, I have these nifty and fashionable Glam Bags! The ladies over at Glam Bags sent me over quite a few to check out. They are adorable! They’re little simple ziplock bags (like the ones with the little tab that slides over to close the bag) that are decorated with fun cool designs.

From the creator:

As a frequent traveler, I quickly became disenchanted with those plastic bags required for airport security. After all, who wants to place coveted essentials in a lackluster pouch made for sandwiches?

Thus sprang the inspiration for Glam*Bags: a lifestyle necessity for fashion-savvy women-on-the-go. Our patent-pending accessory is sure to enhance your travel experience & boost your spirits. Glam*Bags will be featured in a variety of designs, & offered in essential sizes & state-of-the-season colors to stylishly stow your cosmetics, toiletries, apparel and treasures.

So girls, are you tired of placing your liquid assets into a non-descript baggie? Are you ready to raise your fashion bar & reclaim the travel experience? Add some flair to your life & get your Glam*Bags now!

BTW, Glam*Bags also double as gift bags & home organizers.

I just love these Glam Bags.. a friend of mine who has children in Jr. High asked where I got them. After I let her know where she could get a few of her own, she mentioned purchasing a few so that her daughters could use them and take their makeup or other little things to school with them.

Now when we go traveling, I’ll be fashionable and organized instead of weird and unorganized when I whip out my stuff in my new Glam Bags! Yay!

Glam Bags will be featured in a variety of designs & sizes to stylishly stow your cosmetics, toiletries, apparel and treasures. The bags are featured in chic little boxes for hands-on convenience and attractive storage. (Baby and Men’s bags to follow). Glam Bags make travel, and life, much more manageable & a lot more stylish. *BTW, Glam Bags also double as gift bags and home organizers!*

In the past two years, many of my high school and college friends have had their first child.  I try to find unique gifts since you can only use so many gift certificates or baby outfits.

Recently, I tried The Wine Aroma Perfume Collection from Salud Scent Studio.  I absolutely loved them all.  Below is a list of the collection.  I noted the scents to look for in each perfume and my experience with them as well.

Sauvignon Blanc – noted for fresh cut grass, grapefruit, ginger, and crisp green apple scents.  I tried this scent in the roll on and loved it.  I now like roll on scents better then sprays.  It allows you to have better control over where the scent is applied on the body.  I really noticed the smell of fresh cut grass and the crisp green apple the most.  This scent is great for spring and summer.

Chardonnay – scents of honeydew melon, vanilla crème Brule, and toasted oak.  This was my personal favorite scent initially.  I could smell each of the scents listed.  This is an all occasion scent for me, but could easily be saved for special occasions too.

Riesling – white peach, Anjou pear, bergamot, and cypress aromas.  I enjoyed this scent and it appealed to me for every day use.

Merlot – red currant, rhubarb, fig, candied violet.  The Merlot smells wonderful but was not initially my favorite until I wore it.  I just loved how it smelled on my skin.  I wore this during dinners on a recent vacation.

Syrah – notes of black peppercorn, summer berries, and leather.  This scent reminds of me winter and I felt that it could be enjoyed by both men and women.

Salud Scent Studio offers custom blends as well.  You can pick from a wide variety of scents that fall into categories including: fresh, floral, fruity, foody, woodsy, essential oils, and tea inspired.

The Wine Aroma Perfume Collection can be used in conjunction to wine tasting, as the perfumes are supposed to enhance the nuances of both.  If wine tasting is out of the question, regardless of the reason, this is a nice way to enjoy wine notes without having any wine.

I definitely recommend the scents and suggest that you stop by the web site for more great perfume ideas.

What is BagsInABag.com?  A unique, complete, and organized combination of everything, in a mom-friendly bag. A gift for any and a must for moms. A combination of a small amount of vast things; from a disposable thermometer to mascara, Benadryl, band aids and velcro – safety pins, rubber gloves and  even screwdriver! Gift wrap and shipping included, BagsInABag.com is a user-friendly web site and charitable company. We employ adults with developmental disabilities to compile the bags, and share our revenue with the Brendan Sail Program for Youths with Learning Differences.  – Bagsinabag.com

This Side of Eternity - These bags are amazing. The idea is that anything you could possibly need will be tucked neatly into this special bag which is small enough to fit inside any purse or diaper bag.

When I first opened the box I was very impressed with how beautifully this bag had been packaged for me. Each bag comes gift wrapped so nicely that I didn’t want to open it and ruin how nice it looked. After untying the pretty ribbons that held it all together I thought to myself this is a pretty bag, but I had no idea that it was so much more than just a pretty bag. You can see the bag I received here. Read More

SAHM Reviews - The BagsInABag product is such a novel concept. There are a variety of bag designs to choose from – smaller than a child’s pencil box. More like the size of a makeup bag. Each bag is jam-packed with so much stuff that when I first started emptying it, it felt like a clown car. Geez, how much stuff can they cram in here?

Each bag is neatly organized with like items and labeled to help find what you need. Here’s an incomplete sampling of what mine contains: A bag marked ‘tools’ contains a few items for nail care, super glue and a pencil. One marked “Cold” has children and adult cold medicines, an Emergen C sample and Alka-Seltzer. “Pain” has various types of pain relief medicine. “Hands” is packed with a rubber glove, nail polish remover pads, hand sanitizer wipes and lotion. “Cotton” includes Qtips, cotton balls and a tampon. Each of those bags that I listed has more than just the items I noted and there are also bags titled “First Aid, “Office” “Cough” and “Other”. But you get the idea. It’s one bag with one or two of many different things to keep you well prepared when you’re on the go. Read More

Earth Science Beta-Ginseng Cellegen Renewal Serum Review

I will be the first to admit that I don’t like to tell my real age. Why? Because I already LOOK my age for the most part (gray, silver and white hair! Ugh!) so I rather not admit to it too.

The big thing for me, aside from my ever aging hair, is wrinkles! Thankfully my wrinkles are mostly around my mouth and not my forehead or around my eyes. I guess being overweight has helped me in those areas (more fat on my face?). But so far not too much has helped to ease the deep, horrible lines around my mouth.

I have been using a product for the past several weeks called Beta-Ginseng Cellagen Renewal Serum. It’s made by Earth Science.

According to the company the Beta-Ginseng Cellagen Renewal Serum “…is a sophisticated blend of nature’s rarest and most effective super moisturizers and bio-hydrators to smooth out the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines instantly. Contains Hyaluronic Acid which produces visibly fresher, smoother, firmer and more youthful-looking skin. Even stubborn lines around the eyes are softened. With Retinyl Palmitate to promote continual rejuvenation.”

I have to agree that it is very gentle on the skin. I have Eczema on my skin (face, neck, scalp) and I break out very easily with adult acne too if I’m not careful. So far, since using the product, I have not had any bad reactions to it whatsoever. That alone gives it a “two thumbs up” as far as I’m concerned. So many products tend to aggravate my skin and the Beta-Ginseng Cellagen Renewal Serum did not.

I used the product on the deep lines around my mouth. I used a little in the morning after I washed my face and before I put on a moisturizer and again at night after I washed my face and before putting on my night cream (gosh… just that alone makes me sound like my MOM! LOL).

It took a few weeks before I noticed a bit of a difference. Maybe it’s just me but the lines started to appear a little less “deep”. More so on one side then the other (I wonder why?). The texture of my skin appeared to be different too, but in a positive way. It’s almost as if it “plumped” up my skin in a way. I guess the way those shots fill in your skin (ouch!) but without the huge expense and the pain.

When I put make up on the lines are even LESS noticeable too.

I have used this for several weeks and it’s taken a few weeks to notice a difference so I am very hopeful that after a few more weeks I’ll notice even more of a positive change in my skin and the wrinkles. Best of all the serum is very affordable at only around $16 per bottle (I have seen it for $10 and change too). It’s a small bottle and it comes with a dropper so you can squeeze and drop just a few drops on to your finger tip or directly on to your skin so as not to use too much. It has a very pleasant scent too. Not over powering at all. It smells pretty, not like a medicine.

Right after you apply it to the skin your skin feels very soft too.

I’m giving Earth Science’s Beta-Ginseng Cellagen Renewal Serum a “two thumbs up”. It’s affordable and it appears to be helping my wrinkles and not aggravating my very sensitive skin.

Honestly? I had never heard of Elizabeth Grant before I was given the opportunity to review her products by Mom Fuse. All I can say is I have seriously been missing out. At age 53, I can only imagine how my skin could have benefited over the years. I’ve been using Elizabeth Grant products for several weeks now and I cannot believe the difference with the feel and look of my skin. It is so soft and I actually can see my “character” lines diminishing. I am a very happy lady!

I’ve been very fortunate over the years when it comes to my skin. As a teenager I didn’t have to deal with acne like many of my peers. As a young woman I would wash my face with soap and water (the same soap I washed the rest of me with), apply some moisturizer and I was good to go. Unfortunately, because of this, I neglected a daily skin care regime. Lucky for me it’s not too late. Elizabeth Grant has come to my rescue. I can’t express how happy I am with her skin care products! I’ve been using them for almost 4 weeks and can truly see improvements in the look and feel of my skin.

In the morning after washing my face, neck and decollete, I apply the Caviar Double Serum and Caviar Day Crème. At night, I wash again and apply the Advanced Cellular Age Defense Pore Refining Lotion, and Advanced Cellular Age Defense Night Cream. Not only is this routine giving my skin a radiant glow, I’m also remembering to wash my face twice a day. I’m embarrassed to admit that in the past I’ve only washed my face with my daily shower or bath.

I will admit my favorite products so far are the Caviar Double Serum and Caviar Day Crème. I’ll also admit I don’t care for caviar, at all, which made me hesitant to try these products. I am however, glad I gave in to my intuition! I can say without a doubt that I will be using Elizabeth Grant’s Caviar Serum and Caviar Day Creme from now on. My husband and I try our best to live green. I believe strongly that part of living green includes caring for the animals on our planet. Elizabeth Grant feels the same way: no animal testing.

Elizabeth Grant did not always have the flawless skin she has today. Damaged during the Second World War, her skin was a constant source of personal shame and embarrassment. All of that changed in 1948 when Elizabeth discovered a natural substance that was used to treat war wounds. She had it specially formulated with other ingredients and began applying it to her damaged skin. Gradually, but very noticeably, the transformation occurred. Within eight months, Elizabeth’s skin had improved remarkably.

Margot, is following in her grandmother’s footsteps and has joined the family business. Margot graduated in International Business from the prestigious Grenoble École De Management in the south of France. “I was very privileged to be accepted by this school,” says Margot. “Yet, as much as I learned at school, I think I owe my true education to my Grandmother – she is my inspiration and has given me the confidence to walk into any room with my head held high. She taught me the importance of hard work and that nothing comes from sitting back and waiting for it; I have to make it happen.

No doubt about it, I have become a loyal costumer of Elizabeth Grant. I love the products and the fact that they do not test on animals.
