Dr Song Exclusive Vitamin C Serum Review + Giveaway #drsong


Dr Song Medical is a medical cosmetic laboratory that originally manufactured products for professionals, doctors, and medical facilities.  Dr. Song recently made their high quality products available directly to the consumer like you and me. I love that I can save money by eliminating a unnecessary visit to the dermatologist and buy my skin care direct from Amazon.  Dr Song Medical products are made in the USA. They are FDA compliant and a provider of professional products so I feel good about using them.
  
Dr. Song Vitamin C Serum contains 20% vitamin c, boosted with vitamin E, hyaluronic acid and aloe vera for a smooth velvet finish on the skin that many other vitamin c serums cannot replicate.  This vitamin C serum has been refined through rigorous testing from dozens of doctors and professionals within the cosmetic industry and comes with a 365 day money back guarantee.  Don't
forget that for the best shelf life you should store away from sunlight and extreme heat.  It is easy to add Dr Song vitamin C into your everyday skin care regimen too. Use it once per day and remember that little bit goes a long way and only a thin layer is needed. This high quality serum greatly enhances any moisturizer, so make sure to apply a good moisturizer immediately after using it. If using with Retinol or Retin-A, apply the serum first and allow to dry for 10-15 minute before applying for the best results. 
 
I noticed results after a few days but Dr Song shared with me that immediate results are not totally uncommon. Don't worry if you don't see a super fast change.  You really need to use it for at least 30 days to see optimal results.  I like that this product is safe for all skin types too. It felt good on my skin and I did not experience any irritation.

How do you use Dr Song Vitamin C serum? It is very simple. You just wash your face and pat it dry very gently. Apply a thin layer of serum and allow it a minute or two to dry. That is what I do.  Finish your beauty care regimen by applying a good moisturizer once the serum has completely dried.  I like that it is a light, non-greasy formula so it feels natural and dries fast.  You can find Dr. Song Vitamin C Serum on Amazon for easy purchasing from home too.

Mandala the Yoga Massage Ball Review #massageball

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. *Always consult a doctor before starting any new exercise routine. 
 

Mandala Massage Balls help you eliminate muscle knots and tension through gentle massage using one’s own body weight. It is easy, you just place the balls in tight areas and let gravity take over. I was happy that I finally found an effective way to roll away sore and tight muscles. This is a totally new dynamic self-healing tool that anyone can use no matter what your age. My mom has been using them for a while now and I didn't even know until I told her that I bought them. She had found them on Amazon a year or two ago and told me they really helped her back.



Mandala Massage Balls are an ideal option for deepening your yoga practice, self-soothing massage, prenatal massage, and recovery from injury.*   Mandala Massage Balls can be used in Yin Yoga and Yoga Therapeutics in place of tennis balls. You can even register your product to learn how to make the most out of your Mandala Massage Balls. *Always consult a doctor before starting any new exercise routine.





I find that Mandala Massage Balls really help me get the knots out of my legs and back after a hard boot camp workout. It used to really be hard to get the tightness relieved. I would stretch all these different ways and it just wouldn't release. I find I get the release much easier and with a lot less effort. They are portable too and easy to throw in my suitcase or even weekend bag too.

Natures True Medicine Vitamin D3 Review #naturestruemedicine


Always check with your physician before starting any supplement product and specifically Natures True Medicine Vitamin D3. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult your healthcare professional prior to use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children.


Vitamin D3 is a vitamin that is critical to keeping both phosphorus and calcium in balance and being used properly. Dr. Oz suggests that Vitamin D3 is the second most important vitamin you can take. Many people do not get adequate vitamin D3 because they do not spend enough time in the sun. Since this vitamin is so important, you want to look into vitamin D3 supplements to ensure that you are getting enough and getting the right ingredients. One thing is critical and you should take a peek at your current brand. Natures True Medicine Vitamin D3 does not contain any toxic Magnesium Stearate filler. 

You might be surprised at the number of people that are not getting enough Vitamin D. Anthony Norman, MD, in a recent article in Endocrine Today, stated "it is now widely appreciated by vitamin D scientists that 50% of people in North America and Western Europe are vitamin D insufficient. Given that two-thirds of the people are vitamin D-insufficient or deficient. It is clear that merely eating vitamin D-rich foods is not adequate to solve the problem for most adults."​

 
The big question is how Much Vitamin D3 Do You Need?  Adult men and women ages 19 to 69 need to get 600 IUs each day and when 70 and over, you need 800 IUs each day, according to the Office of Dietary Supplements. This is only for those with solid levels of this vitamin which a large majority of people do not have.
A few facts about Nature's True Medicine Vitamin D3:

  • Pure, Potent and all Natural Vitamin D3
  • No junky fillers, all of the good none of the bad!!
  • Independent 3rd party lab tested, MADE IN USA
  • 2,000 IU per easy to swallow softgel
  • Money Back Guarantee, 100% safe and effective
  • Guaranteed GMO and Preservative Free
Nature's True Medicine Vitamin D3 Supplement Facts:
  • Vitamin D3 as Cholecalciferol
  • 2,000 IU
  • serving Size: 1 softgel
  • servings per container: 120

Other ingredients: soybean oil, gelatin, vegetable glycerin, vegetable oil.
shell ingredients: gelatin, vegetable glycerin, purified water total=100mg

Kabuki Round Makeup Brush Review #kabukibrushsimplyessentials




I am happy to go au natural from time to time but mostly at home! I like to look put together for work and when I am out and about.  Even on the weekends, I like a more relaxed look but a little makeup, properly applied enhances my natural beauty.  The right tools like a professional Kabuki Brush really make a difference.

The right makeup brush is so important to get the coveted professional natural look that you really want. I was happy to find a quality Kabuki Brush just like this and test it out recently. This densely packed synthetic makeup brush worked perfectly when I used it all week long for my powder foundation.  Simply Essentials shared that it is effective for moderate to full coverage of liquid, cream and powder foundation. That makes it a flexible makeup tool. The round top brush allows for easy application for all the angles of the face.

Simply Essentials designed the round top kabuki brush for a flawless makeup application. The dense bristles definitely make it easy to apply your choice of liquid, cream or powder foundation. The handle is long and easy to grip...perfect for flawlessly applying and blending makeup and foundation. The brush is also uniquely designed for professional stippling, contouring, covering imperfections and blending out your makeup.


You can really create a luminous glow with the application of your make up. I found that I get an even application and natural looking coverage every time I use it. It works much better than my older brush. The synthetic fibers are ideal to be used with liquid, cream and powder products. I found it very easy to clean too. This beautiful brush is also vegan-friendly and the company offers a 1-year guarantee. I like the it is available on my fave marketplace Anazon so it will arrive quickly.

Exuviance Performance Peel AP25 #peelchallenge @brandbacker


Disclosure:  This post has been powered by Brandbacker.  I received the product mentioned above complimentary for the purpose of this review. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product.

I recently had the opportunity to try out a product from the exclusive Exuviance line of products.  I was excited to try the Performance Peel AP25 treatment sample I was sent because I have heard wonderful things about the whole treatment line from friends.  We have an ULTA right in town and they carry all the Exuviance products so several friends have tried it and you can see how happy they are with their results..they look good! Exuviance has fantastic anti-aging cocktails like the Exuviance Illumination Duo as well. The duo combines the power of their nighttime transformer, Exuviance Evening Restorative Complex, with the 100% pure active formulation of Exuviance Vitamin C+ Antiaging Booster for a potent anti-aging cocktail that combats the visible signs of aging.

 
I was sent samples of the Exuviance Performance Peel AP25 to try so I thought it would be fun to take the peel challenge. I have to say that I was impressed with the results.  The past few weeks have been kind of insane with work and life.  Sometimes I just don't get the sleep I need and the candle is burning all over the place if you know what I mean. If you work and you have kids and try to live a healthy life, you totally know what I mean. Between squeezing in long workdays, fitness routines 4-5 times a week, healthy meals, time with hubby, time with the kids...do I need to go on? Sometimes your skin just shows the stress! I was pretty pleased because the Exuviance Performance Peel AP25 made my skin glow.  It was looking pretty unglow-y before I used it thanks to the craziness of my schedule. It was a huge difference. My skin looked plump and fresh. It appeared like I had a great night of sleep and maybe a day at the spa. I would definitely buy this again. I will be heading over to Ulta to stash this one away for a more frequent fresh look. Would you like more information about the #peelchallenge and a glimpse at some of the evidence from Exuviance? Take a peek and pick up some Exuviance Performance Peel AP25 for yourself at your nearest ULTA.  If you would like to get more details on the product and other products from Exuviance you can find it here.

Available at Exuviance.com and ULTA stores nationwide.

Youphoria Yoga Towels Review #youphoriayoga


I love yoga and sports but I dread the daunting task of washing that yoga mat after each session. These machine washable yoga towels add a hygienic layer between me and my mat. I feel more confident in my practice knowing that I am reducing the risk of harmful bacteria spreading to my skin. Besides, I save time time cleaning my mat.  Who needs to go home from yoga with a staph infection? Not me.

Youphoria Yoga Microfiber Towel outperforms ordinary cotton or polyester towels. It is very absorbent and dries quickly. It is made with ultra light weight, moisture wicking microfiber. 


Your mat can get very slippery if you don't use a towel specially designed to grip to your mat. I find I am able to hold advanced poses longer with this towel under my feet. 

These towels are sized perfectly (24" x 68") to fit on top of the yoga mat. I was surprised when my hubby saw it because he asked if he could have one to bring to his Ultimate Frisbee games. I shrugged and told him, "Sure, I can order you one too." I hadn't thought about it but the company shared that they can be used for a variety of different activities such as: Basic yoga, gym workouts, Ultimate Frisbee, beach days, pool days or whatever you choose.
  
Youphoria makes a great yoga towel in lots of pretty colors.  You can choose your fave. 

 

Think about all The different uses for this Yoga Towel:

Hot Yoga: Soft, super-absorbent and machine washable. You can go through a yoga session with complete confidence knowing you can execute complex yoga poses and your towel will hold strong.

Basic Yoga: The towel is absorbent and helps you maintain grip. Great for Basic Yoga or Hot Yoga.

Workout Towel: These are highly absorbent towels made from a unique blend, 100% microfiber material that  absorbs sweat fast. You can carry this towel on your shoulder around the gym to put on the benches during an intense workout too.

Outdoor Activities: Whether it's getting together for a pick-up game of Ultimate Frisbee, or a beach day, this towel can do the job with its ultra-soft, absorbent design. 

Fortunately you can buy this yoga towel on Amazon so you can have it in a flash. Let me know what you think.

I have looked high and low and I think I have pretty much tried it all in the pursuit of erasing my wrinkles and fine lines.

Because Alurent Anti-Aging + Instant Erasure Serum is really different. I saw wrinkles disappear before my eyes. No hocus-pocus either. I felt my skin tighten and saw the results in 90 seconds. Over and over. I am serious.

The best part is that you can wear it under your everyday SPF moisturizer and makeup. You start with Alurent Anti-Aging + Instant Erasure Serum, then SPF  moisturizer, and then your apply your makeup in that order.  I am so happy I added it to my regimen because it has made a huge difference.

It works in an instant and over time. I love that Alurent Anti-Aging + Instant Erasure Serum works instantly, and then as you continue to use it daily, it also helps the skin regain a more youthful appearance.  Anything that continues to keep my skin looking younger is a good thing.
