The Fountain of Youth by Petunia SkinCare Hyaluronic Acid

Details: Petunia Skincare Hyaluronic Acid is commonly known as the "Fountain of Youth." It is the ultimate anti-aging and anti-wrinkle solution to give you that dewy, elastic, and youthful boost in your skin.  Hyaluronic acid binds moisture and water into your skin to help you achieve plump, soft, and tight skin, therefore making crows feet and wrinkles fill in.

Petunia Skincare hyaluronic acid has been tested and proven to stimulate the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen which diminish as we age.

They guarantee results or your money back.  All of Petunia Skincare products are backed with a 90 day no questions asked, money-back guarantee.  

Their formulation combines the hyaluronic acid with Vitamin C and Ferulic acid that speeds cell regeneration, repairs free radical damage, and stimulates collagen. 

Review:  I typcially cannot handle hyaluronic acid on my face.  I've tried different things to make it work, but I usually break out with a slight rash of pimples, or end up with extremely dry skin. Needless to say I was hesitant to try this product, but with Petunia Guaranteeing results, I gave this a try.

I've been very impressed by this product.  I'm not sure if the Vitamin C and Ferulic acid help tone down the hyaluronic acid on my face or what, but I'm experience great benefits and no dry skin nor outbreaks.

I do follow Petunia Skincares recommendation of order in which I apply my skincare products.

1. Toner2. Hyaluronic acid serum3. Vitamin C serum4. Retinol5. Treatment gels/cream/serums (eg. topical acne treatments)6. Eye cream/gels7. Moisturizer

I also like that this product is what I call a serum, not water.  It is slightly thick and cloudy looking, but that is natural.  This works fairly quickly.  I noticed positive results the first week I tried this.  I've been impressed that it doesn't gum up my foundation makeup after using it, like I've experienced with some other hyaluronic acid creams.  

I believe you'll be impressed by this "Fountain of Youth" by Petunia Skincare.  Get yours today at this Link here from Amazon.

Pros: Works well and works fast.  First hyaluronic acid product that didn't make my face feel dry or break out.

Cons:  None.

My Rating:  A Big Thumbs UP!!!

Review:  Needless to say, I am sold on Vitamin C Serums. I had stopped using Vitamin C for a couple of weeks while I tried out other products.  Believe me, I was grateful to get back to the Vitamin C Serum.  I really feel it makes my face look smoother, less wrinkles and lines, and my face feels taught, not saggy.

Petunia SkinCare Vitamin C Serum is truly that, a serum.  I personally like something that is a little thicker than water.  It isn't like a lotion by any means, but it is not like water.  It allows me to put several drops into the palm of my hand, and then use my fingers to apply to my face and neck without it dripping all down my arms.

3. Vitamin C serum
4. Retinol
5. Treatment gels/cream/serums (eg. topical acne treatments)
6. Eye cream/gels
7. Moisturizer

Another question is how soon will I see results.  Personally, I noticed a difference within 1 week. Typically 2-3 weeks you'll see a difference.  And yes, it is best to keep up with the Vitamin C Serum for best results.

Monster's Guide To Bedtime Children's eBook

Details: Monster's Guide To Bedtime is intended as a child's bedtime story but adults may find its humor entertaining as well. Sometimes at night in the dark, it can be very scary. There are things that many of us are scared of such as monsters, bears, or tigers. If you know the rules about monsters, it may make bedtime less fearful. This book discusses the various monsters and how to interact with them. Dark and light play important roles in chasing scary monsters away. If I had known these rules when I was younger perhaps my fear of the dark and the creatures that hide in it, would have gone away.

Review:  This is a darling bedtime story book for kids.  However, I believe many adults will be able to relate.

Tigers, Bears and regular monsters often times frighten young ones when it's bedtime.  Did you know that they each have rules they have to follow?  "Tigers can only live under your bed...Typically, tigers don't reach up over the bottom or top edge of the bed....Tigers can only be seen at night when it is dark.  They disappear whenever the lights are turned on."  "Bears live in  your closet, not under your bed...Bears cannot leave the closet.  They can only reach with their long hairy arms to grab you as you walk, run, or fly by the closet....The head and body of the bears must stay inside the closet.  You will not see the face of the bear unless you look inside the closet in the dark...Turning the lights on will make bears disappear."  "A random monster can be hairy or not.  They are as scary as you want them to be...They can be friendly and helpful too, but that takes a really big imagination."
#monstersguidetobedtime

Dealing with monsters requires masking tape and marking a border around your bed, keeping a flashlight close by, being quiet, and having food.  Did you know that, "Food can be a good distraction for random monsters, tigers, and bears. Mints are a good tiger food. Gingerbread cookies are a good distraction for random monsters.  Bears like chocolate candy bars." ..."Do you like candy bars, mints, or gingerbread cookies?"

After reading this book, kids will be ready to take on those monsters at bedtime.

With Halloween just around the corner, this is a perfect time to purchase your copy of this book from this Link on Amazon.  Monsters Guide to Bedtime is an e-book, with a special running on it starting Friday October 24, 2014, till Halloween.  Get your kids ready for those spooky nights when the monsters might come out. Laugh along with them as you read how regular monsters react as compared to bears or tigers lurking in the dark or under the bed. Play along and have the children practice the rules of bedtime.

Be sure to take advantage of the Special Pricing just in time for Halloween.  Click Here to get your copy today.

Pros:  Very cute childrens book that is fun for all ages.

Cons:  None.

Stevia Natural Sweetener

Details:  Stevia is a plant that is processed to make a natural sugar subsitute that is healthier.  Kiva Organic Stevia provides a product that includes Stevia along with Erythritol (e-ryth-ri-tol) a naturally occurring sugar alcohol found in fruits and vegetables to create a delicious blend that's easy to serve.

Stevia Natural Sweetener
#stevia
It is made from Non-GMO plants grown in the USA.  This has zero calories, so makes a perfect sugar subsititute, especially with no bitter after taste.  It has a low glycemic index making it ideal for those managing calories and blood sugar.

Kiva Organic Stevia can be purchased from this Link on Amazon.

Review:  I like that Kiva provides a conversion chart for their Stevia.  It is listed below.

Conversion: Sugar to Kiva Organic Stevia
1 Tsp (sugar) = 1/8 Tsp (Kiva Organic Stevia) 
1 Tbsp (sugar) = 1/3 Tsp (Kiva Organic Stevia) 
1/4 cup (sugar) = 1/2 Tbsp (Kiva Organic Stevia) 
1/2 cup (sugar) = 1 Tbsp (Kiva Organic Stevia) 
1 cup (sugar) = 2 Tbsp (Kiva Organic Stevia) 

A little bit goes a long way!

I've heard about Stevia several years ago.  I've never tried it.  I was always looking forward to being able to grown my own and utilizing it then.  However, when this opportunity came about, I decided to give it a try. 

Stevia Natural Sweetener

I typically do not use sugar substitutes.  I use honey or regular good old fashioned sugar.  Sugar substitutes have a bad wrap.  They're either not healthy, very dangerous, or have awful bitter after tastes.  Well, you can now give up those unhealthy bad tasting "sugars" and get Kiva Organic Stevia instead.  It has a pleasant taste, no bitter after taste.  Not only that but it mixes and dissolves well. There are "0" calories, and because of the low glycemic index, makes it great for anyone concerned about managing their blood sugar.

This container holds 8 ounces so this will last you a long time.  Be sure to try this today. 

Ordering from Kiva, you know you are getting high quality from local farmers that practice sustainable and eco-friendly practices.  Check them out here. 

Pros:  Great taste, no bitterness afterwards.  Dissolves well. Non-GMO.

Cons:  None.

My Rating:  Thumbs Up!

Review:  For years I've made the Oriental Cabbage Salad, especially after Thanksgiving.  (I prefer to use turkey instead of chicken.)  I've never had sesame seeds on hand to add to the salad, let alone remember to think about getting them when I'm at Whole Foods.  My local grocers don't seem to carry them, and I usually don't purchase food via the internet.
When I had the opportunity to review the White Sesame Seeds from Jiva Organics, I immediately made the Oriental Cabbage Salad.  Finally, I could add the sesame seeds to this delicious salad.  It was yummy.
I have since been going crazy adding sesame seeds to lots of dishes.  I put them in omlets, tuna salad, smoothies and yogurt as a sprinkle on top, soups, other salads, etc.  Even by themselves, they are tasty.

Be sure to check out Jiva on FB, and order your certified organic spices from them on Amazon.
Here's my Oriental Cabbage Salad Recipe:
Salad:
1/2 head of cabbage, shredded
2 cups cooked turkey, bite size pieces (your preference white/dark)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 c. slivered almonds
3 tbsp. sesame seeds
1 pkg. Oriental noodles, broken in small pieces

Dressing:
3 Tbsp. vinegar
3 Tbsp. olive oil
Pepper about 1/8 tsp 
Salt to taste, about 1 tsp.
Pkg. of seasoning packet in Ramen noodles

Combine all ingredients for Salad and mix well.  Next combine all ingredients for dressing, and shake well in container before pouring onto salad.  After adding dressing, mix well and refrigerate salad at least an hour before eating.

Pros: Great Packaging. Arrived Quickly. Sesame Seeds smelled fresh.  Like knowing they are certified organic.

Cons:  None.

My Rating:  Thumbs UP!!!

100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.

Review:  I'm always looking for great lotions and creams.  So needless to say when they advertised this product that will be the all purpose cream, I thought it was worth trying.

I've been using this on my hands which were in need of some serious improvement.  I have seen results in just the 2 weeks that I've been using Anavita Moisturizing Anti-Wrinkle Cream.  I then used it on my arms, and even they had great improvement in looking more hydrated.

I have tried Anavita on my face a few times, but I personally do not like it on my face.  My face felt dry everytime I used it.  I ended up putting on more lotions and oils afterwards to rehydrate my face. I did not get the same results on my hands or feet however.  I figured this was due to Alcohol being the second ingredient on the list.

Botox and Derma Fillers Anavita Cream

Pros: Worked great on hands, arms and feet.  Skin felt hydrated, soft and looked 100 times better.  I did see drastic improvement on my hands and arms in just 2 weeks.

Cons:  My face did not like this at all.  My face felt very dry and I had to replenish with other lotions and oils.

My Rating:  Thumbs Up and Down!
