My Experience with Ageless Derma Glycolic And CoEnzyme Q10 Cleanser

Disclaimer:  I received this product complimentary through Tomoson. As always, my opinions are my own.

Does your skin look kind of ho hum especially now that the fall is settling in (at least where I live it is!)  Are you always looking for that "something" to freshen up your skin and give it a little life?  Lordy knows that Glamamama is always looking for that special product to give me a glow.  Ageless Derma Anti Aging Glycolic Facial Cleanser is a new beauty wash that I recently tried and found out that it actually blended several powerhouses:  glycolic acids, collagen and Ubiquinone (Coenzyme-Q10).  CoEnzyme-Q10 is a super anti-oxidant that gets way into the skin to help exfoliate and remove those old skin cells.  Once those dull old skin cells get removed everyone including you can see the beauty underneath...smoother skin and improved texture...just what we need! Collagen is a protein built from amino acids that can improve structure, and bring back some of the elasticity to the skin.

So I received the Ageless Derma Glycolic Facial Gel Cleanser a little over a week ago.  I was impressed by the elegant and sleek container. It was a full 4 oz too.  I like that it is an easy size and shape to hold in my hand. I can pop it into my travel bag too...not too big.

The top pops up and it is easy to squeeze out just the right amount of the cleanser. I love how gentle it feels on my skin when I wash with it.  My skin felt clean and moisturized each time.  At night I have a bit more time so I leave it on about a minute after massaging it into my skin and then I rinse it off and moisturize as usual.  No irritation at all and my skin can get fussy sometimes. Yup, it has happened. Not with the Ageless Derma Glycolic Facial Gel Cleaner though.

My skin looks smoother and fresher. I notice a nice difference when I wake up.  That dull look seems to be faded away. My skin looks like it has a bit of a glow. That really perks me up in the morning since I have alot less work to do with makeup. I feel good going off to work! I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com.

20 Mule Team Borax Crystal Snowflakes and Ornaments Craft

Who doesn't love to make gorgeous ornaments?  I have a fun and easy craft idea for the holidays that you can use for Christmas or Hanukkah or anytime. Think about all the possibilities. You can buy 20 Mule Team Borax in any grocery store for a reasonable price and it an all natural product that is easy to work with for fun crafts.

Required supplies:

• string
• wide mouth jar (pint)
• white pipe cleaners
• borax (see tips)
• pencil, popsicle stick or twigs
• boiling water
• various liquid or gel food colors
• scissors

1. The first step of making borax crystal snowflakes or ornaments is to make the snowflake or ornament shape. Cut a pipe cleaner into three equal sections for a snowflake or into the shape you want for your ornament.
2. Twist the sections together at their centers to form a six-sided snowflake shape. Make whatever shape you want if you are doing a round ornament or oval for example. Don't worry if an end isn't even, just trim to get the desired shape. The snowflake or ornament should fit inside a wide- mouthed glass jar like one you use for canning.
3. Tie the string to the end of one of the snowflake or ornament arms. Tie the other end of the string to the pencil or a wooden stick or even a twig. You want the length to be such that the pencil hangs the snowflake into the jar.
4. Fill the widemouth pint jar with boiling water.
5. Add borax one tablespoon at a time to the boiling water, stirring to dissolve after each addition. The amount used is 3 tablespoons borax per cup of water. It is okay if some undissolved borax settles to the bottom of the jar.
6. If desired, you may tint the mixture with food color.
7. Hang the pipe cleaner snowflake or ornament into the jar so that the pencil rests on top of the jar and the snowflake or ornament is completely covered with liquid and hangs freely (not touching the bottom of the jar).
8. Allow the jar to sit in an undisturbed location overnight.
9. Look at the pretty crystals and enjoy them all season long!!! You can hang your snowflake as a decoration or in a window to catch the sunlight

Because boiling water is used and because borax isn't intended for eating, adult supervision is recommended for this project.  If you really can't find borax, you can use sugar or salt (may take longer to grow the crystals, so be patient). Add sugar or salt to the boiling water until it stops dissolving. Ideally you want no crystals at the bottom of the jar.
