Francois et Mimi 50oz Glass French Press makes an elegant cup of coffee...or two #GlassFrenchPress

If you have ever spent some time in Europe you might already be familiar with a French Press.  It makes a wonderful cup of coffee....or even tea. This is a large sized French Press.  Francois et Mimi have several options to suit your needs so you can take a peek on Amazon and see. I personally love a larger size because you can always put the extra coffee in the refrigerator for a nice cup of iced coffee in the afternoon.  

This elegant French Press brews several large mugs of coffee even if you use those big ole coffee house mugs like I do. The Glass Carafe is made of durable, heat-resistant borosilicate glass. It is very easy to use too.  You can brew a delicious cup of coffee in just a few minutes. It is very easy to clean too...it takes a few seconds to just rinse it in the sink or place it in the dishwasher. I like to use the top rack.  

If you are seeking a more eco--friendly option, this Francois et Mimi Glass French Press is a reusable coffee device that only requires coffee grinds and hot water to use. Go green and say goodbye to paper filters and those endless plastic K-Cups. It makes fresh coffee every time with the special micro-mesh filter.  I feel so sophisticated when I use it each day too.  I had some friends over for coffee this past week and all the ladies commented on my elegant French Press. I love using it!

Features of the Francois et Mimi French Press:

• Elegant Chrome Finish

• Holds 1500ml, or 50oz

• Dishwasher Safe

• Micro-Mesh Filter

• Works great with coarse-ground coffee or tea leaves

You can pick up this Glass French Press coffeemaker on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.

Yeouth Hyaluronic acid plus Tripeptide 31 and Vitamin C Beauty Treatment + Giveaway #Tripeptide31

I find that I have to be diligent with my creams, lotions and potions to keep my skin looking good. One excellent option is to use the deep-penetrating, medical-grade moisture of Yeouth Hyaluronic Acid Plus...the anti-aging secret of spas everywhere.  

Hyaluronic acid (HA) attracts water molecules-giving a plump, spongy effect to skin. It holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, for ultimate hydration. HA absorbs water to create volume, plump and even out crevices. Your body's natural HA levels decrease rapidly. It can cause skin to sag and I know I saw those fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen production just naturally decreases. The best option is to invest in quality anti-aging products.

Yeouth Hyaluronic acid plus Tripeptide 31 and Vitamin C Beauty Treatment lets me supercharge my skin hydration level with hyaluronic acid.  HA Plus is a luxurious, velvety anti-aging skin care serum that glides over the skin and penetrates deeply to support my skin. Yeouth shared with me that this is a great option for all skin types. You can use it on the face, neck, décolleté and even on the back of the hands.

The luxury moisturizer-HA Plus anti-aging serum contains medical-grade levels of pure hyaluronic acid. The power of Tripeptide-31 is also tucked inside this powerhouse treatment.  I like that this provides support against free radicals with Vitamin C. You can pick up this hyaluronic acid +Tripeptide 31 +Vitamin C on Amazon for easy shopping anytime. Enter the giveaway to win your own!a Rafflecopter giveaway

Keomi Skincare HANDMADE Organic Soaps are perfect for cleansing and aromatherapy #naturalskincare

I love to find special soaps, luxury creams and washes. There is nothing quite like the freshness of a handmade bath product either. Keomi makes a variety of wonderful organic creams and soaps that come in dreamy scents. They recently launched a new organic handmade luxury soap for men and women that you just have to try. Heaven is what I would say to describe the ones I received. Literally, I opened the box and the beautiful scent wafted out. Just what I needed on another chilly wintery day. The scent of these soaps is just exhilarating.

These new handmade organic soaps are part of the Keomi Skincare Signature Collection. I love the luxurious scents and fragrances as well as the natural oils. Each Soap is uniquely fragrant and smells just divine. Even the names are enticing. I truly wish I could do a scent-o-rama session for you through my blog and let you sample the intoxicating scent of my lavender soaps for example. So fresh and sweet it is truly a luxury treat anytime.

These lovely soaps are carefully crafted in small batches using a cold-process method to retain the benefits of the living oils. The base of the soap itself is a rich blend of over 10 USDA certified organic vegetable, fruit and seed oils, plus shea and cocoa butters. Keomi starts with moisture which I always need so much since my skin is skin. The complexity of each of the combinations of pure aromatherapy-grade essential oils adds something special to each bar. I can't wait to try the other varieties.  I also love that all of the handmade soaps are crafted with organic ingredients. If you are sending a gift it makes it clear that you really care enough to choose a better option.

Each Keomi Skincare soap is made by hand using only the highest quality ingredients. Each soap is uniquely infused with a variety of Organic Herbs, Dead Sea Clay and Salt, Seaweed and French Green Clay. These luxurious soaps are super-fatted and derive their beautiful rich sudsy lather naturally. I like that because it leaves my skin clean and moisturized, but never dry or stripped.  Keomi also shared that the all natural, organic ingredients ensure that these soaps are gentle enough for people with skin sensitivities. I know my skin can be sensitive and I have not had any issues with these soaps. Super gentle on my skin and they leave it smelling yummy. Of course my favorite tween thinks they are just marvy too.  Her friend was over yesterday and she had to share the scent with her. Of course when her mom came to pick her up then she wanted to see what they were all about as well. Mom was excited they were available on Amazon too...we all shop online these days to save time and energy. These wonderful soaps and the whole Keomi line of skincare is a luxury brand that you can easily purchase on Amazon and have a perfect gift at your fingertips without stepping in the mall. Now that is a win-win for a busy working mama like me.

Dial Miracle Oil Restoring Body Wash is a lifesaver this winter @purexnsiders

Disclosure: I am a member of the Purex Insiders. The Dial brand provided me with a sample of Dial Miracle Oil Body Wash in exchange for a product review. However, all the opinions expressed here are my own.

Dial is a skin care brand that I have trusted for many years. They are always innovating and understand what I need for my everyday skin and body care. I don't have tons of money to spend on luxury brands especially when I know I can get those same benefits for a lot less from an innovative brand like Dial. That is where the new Dial Miracle Oil Restoring Body Wash comes in. Body and facial oils are such a hot trend now. A few years ago it would have sounded nutty, but not today. 

Everyone uses oils on their body and some oils (not this body wash though) are created to use on the facial skin. It is a smart idea because natural oils are good for your skin and Dial knows that. Dial created a gentle body wash that utilizes proprietary “micro-oil” technology. This fresh body wash combines the skin restoring benefits of Marula oil with a rich, clean-rinsing lather for beautifully soft skin every single time. I feel like I have healthy skin after using it. This is actually a great family body wash since it smells fresh but not too flowery. It can keep everyone's skin soft I think, even all through the chilly winter months. Actually, especially now it is a good time to consider this body wash. Just the scent alone is wonderful but the way it leaves my skin so soft! My tween even loves it and of course has tried to repossess mine. I had to run to the store to get a second one already. Sigh.

This winter has been just brutal with the cold weather wrecking havoc on everyone's skin. It is really important that you are replenishing and enhancing your skin when you are bathing. The last thing you want is to strip or dry your skin of the natural oils and essential nutrients. Dial Miracle Oil Body Wash helps your skin to retain the natural oils while bathing by depositing Marula oil through the micro oil technology. It is truly a moisturizing body wash for 2015 and beyond. I love the way my skin feels after using it...I almost don't need my extra step of cream and oil after my bath or shower. 

This new body wash from Dial is a double duty diva...perfect for all the busy mommas and working ladies out there or any combination of the two. Miracle Oil Body Wash delivers nourishment with the help of Marula oil and a novel micro oil technology. It cleans without stripping your skin and delivers a nice lather and deposits that lovely Marula oil onto your skin. On busy days you could even consider skipping the cream, lotion or oil...after a shower it feels that moisturized already.

I love that Dial Miracle Oil Restoring Body Wash has all these added moisturizing benefits with no extra work. They have it at Target and it is about $4.99 for 16oz which is a great price. I just picked some up today. I saw it at Walmart too for about the same price.

Montagne Jeunesse Manuka Honey Peel Off #MJPeelOffs #sponsored @influenster #voxbox #refreshvoxbox

Disclosure: I received this product complimentary through Influenster for testing purposes.

I was excited to try this new masque because my skin has been so dry. I received the Montagne Jeunesse new Manuka Honey Peel Off Face Masque to try out and I really liked it. I made me take a few minutes and just sit and relax. It felt really nice on my skin and I loved peeling it off. There is something so satisfying about doing that. I must say I had some revitalized, glowing skin after the masque. 

Cold days make for dry skin all over so I was happy to see Montaigne Janeusse Manuka Honey Masque tucked in my Refresh VoxBox. This made my skin feel and look great over the weekend so I was ready for my LONG week.

It is that time again....VoxBox time! What could be more fun than a box full of goodies? Wow, it is always exciting to get in on a Vox Box. It has been a while so I was thrilled to hear I was getting a  #RefreshVoxBox.  Influenster knows I work hard at looking THAT good..every single day. That's why they sent select members a Refresh VoxBox --just what I needed to cheer me up amidst all this SNOW.  If you are anywhere in the northeast or the mid-Atlantic you know what I mean...we need some perking up. I was so glad this box included a ton of healthy snacks and beauty goodies for me to try out.

There were two perfect for snack sized bags of Beanito's chips tucked into my box. If you enjoy a little crunch with your lunch but like to keep calories down and fiber up, these are going to be your new best friend! Beanito's taste great, have the crunch you want but are a healthier option. Yummy! 

I don't know if you are a flossing freak like I am but even if you aren't you have to try these DenTek Flossers for adults and kids. They will make you love to floss. It is good for your teeth and gums and really not hard to do at all. The kids too. They are easy to use and besides, who doesn't love saying, Go Floss Yourself?  That is just plain fun!

Put Covergirl together with Olay and you have in beauty powerhouse! It is easy to get your skin looking gorgeous with this new beauty option. Perfect. It goes on smoothly and easily and gives my skin a perfect finish for day or evening. There are colors to suit any skin type too. Try it and see what you think.

My hands get so dry in the winter I was grateful Influenster included this great cream from L'Occitane.  It is gentle and the Shea really helps keep my hands soft.  I love the little tin perfect to stash in my purse. 

What could be better to toss in your purse, tuck in your pocket or keep in your desk drawer for fresh breath anytime? Listerine FreshBurst PocketPaks are tiny, so tiny they fit into the smallest of evening purses. Fresh breath in a flash. 

Cold days make for dry skin all over so I was happy to see Montaigne Janeusse Manuka Honey Masque tucked inmy box. This made my skin feel and look great over the weekend so I was ready for my LONG week. 

Speaking of long weeks, sometimes it is hard to get healthy meals in on the go.  Orgain is an easy solution for kids and adults. No need to resort to junk food when you are busy or on the go. Grab an Orgain beverage and fill up your body with healthy grains and protein. It tastes good so it goes down easy too. I like to stash one in the car for emergencies. 

The last item was a SkinnyGirl Tasty Nutrition Bar. These are available at Target now and taste delish. Another fast way to keep up healthy energy on the go. 

If you are all hopped up about Influenster, take a peek and join. It is a fun way to learn about great products and share with friends.

WashGuard Lingerie Bags for Laundry Review + Giveaway #AmazonCart

I learned a long time ago that it is so much easier to throw lingerie in the washing machine. The key is cold water and a good zippered lingerie bag. Buy a few...they work great for stockings, undies, bras and even delicates like sweaters. 

I recently tried this ultra fine, zippered, mesh wash bag and I really like it. Perfect to protect all my delicate items.  Expensive blouses, hosiery, tights, bras and underwear stay snag free and protected in this zippered bag. No more snags, knots or pills caused by washing even on the delicate cycle.

They have several options in single and double packs of both medium and large size bags. Perfect for all your washing needs. This ultra fine, premium, mesh laundry bag is the SECRET to keeping your delicate clothing looking like new and the safest way to clean expensive lingerie, stockings and underwear.

This specially constructed wash bag is made of a high quality polyester mesh blend that protects fabric and causes no abrasion from the bag itself. This is my little secret shhhhh to saving the cost of replacing expensive garments because of damage or excessive wear due to washing, even on the delicate cycle and never deal with knotted hosiery again.

This special bag is safe to use in all wash cycles and with all kinds of detergents. WashGuard has shared that the construction and materials are very durable. They took their time in developing just the right bags. The medium bag measures approximately 12 x 16 inches, the right size for camisoles, blouses, skirts, dresses, a couple of scarves and 2-3 pairs of socks.

The large bag measures approximately 15 x 20 inches, great for everything our medium bag is designed for as well as sweaters, small throws, fine bedding (pillow cases, shams, dust ruffles or sheets), baby blankets and more.

Spare yourself the frustration caused by lost socks, knotted hosiery and stretched out sweaters. Sometimes a set of keys, a credit card or pocket change can end up in the laundry. Special fabric clothes (like moisture wicking sports material) end up nappy or torn.

This bag is constructed of ultra fine and silky soft non-abrasive mesh that won't harm your delicate fabrics.  Tightly stitched, these premium lingerie wash bags will protect your finest garments for years. These strong wash bags are made from stain, stretch and tear resistant material.

Fractionated Coconut Carrier Oil & Massage Oil is a wonderful option for blending or using as a beauty oil #CoconutOil

I love to make my own DIY beauty with essential oils. I used to spend a bundle at the luxury boutiques and beauty stores but I know I don't need to anymore. It is so easy to use products like this fractionated coconut oil (for topical use only!) and combine it with a variety of essential oils to get the perfectly scented moisturizers that I love. It is inexpensive and even makes a great gift for friends. goPURE Naturals Coconut Oil has tons of benefits but it is great for using as a massage oil whether you add essential oils or not. The fractionated coconut carrier and massage oil by GoPure creates a protective barrier on your skin, but does not clog your pores. It provides a light-weight and non-greasy finish. It is composed of 100 percent natural Carrier Oil or pure base.

The shelf life of coconut oil with proper storage conditions is indefinite. Coconut oil needs to be stored in a cool location, out of the direct sunlight. This is an ideal product for massage therapy because the oil remains in liquid form provided by the fractionating process.

The Fractionated Coconut Oil offered by GoPure is considered an all-natural type of carrier oil that is able to easily absorb into your skin, which makes it a go-to option for all types of topical therapies. It offers a feather-light emollient. It provides a soothing skin barrier but will not clog pores.  It is a great option for dry skin. It provides you with a non-greasy, silky smooth feel, unlike some other carrier oil options. It is completely soluble with all types of essential oils and is odorless and colorless, which means it will not stain fabrics. It also has a prolonged shelf life, which means it will not go rancid. This oil is designed for topical use only. You can find out more about them by visiting the GoPure Naturals site as well.

You can pick up this GoPure Fractionated Coconut Oil on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.
