The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product. However, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

I have used masks before but not on a regular basis.  My skin can be so challenging sometimes. Sometimes it is dry, sometimes oily, sometimes that acne pops up and in the winter I sometimes experience eczema. The joys of variation, right?  I was interested to hear that the Adovia Dead Sea Mask can help with some of these issues plus others like oily skin, blackheads and psoriasis too.  The combination of pure Dead Sea mud, Bee’s wax,Vitamin C, Jojoba oil, Evening Primrose oil, Olive oils, Chamomile, and Aloe Vera work in concert to help your skin. This mask is made in Israel by the true Dead Sea experts and contains the highest and freshest concentration of Dead Sea Mud.

The company shared with me that the mask removes impurities from the skin that can clog up your pores and actually age your skin. This includes oil, debris and even toxins This mud mask also has moisturizers and anti-inflammatory ingredients to help soothe the skin. You can be comfortable that Adovia Dead Sea Mud Mask is safe and very gentle skin renewal treatment for you.  This pore tightening, skin renewing mask is gentle and safe for all skin types.

So I have used this mask several times now.  My husband always laughs so I have to do it when he is not home. It is easy to put on but it is a greenish gray color.  You can feel it tightening up a bit as it dries but it was very comfortable. Not too tight. I also used it on a few small blemishes that popped up last week after some sweaty workouts. I was surprised they looked much quieter the next morning.  They dried up and went away quicker than usual too.  It rinsed off very easily too.  My skin looked like it had a bit of a glow. I was impressed because it is hard to find anything to make my skin glow...that is a challenge when you are over 40.  I am also going to try it on my hands where I sometimes get eczema.  It is known to help improve eczema too. You can buy the Adovia mask on Amazon for $27.95 now for 5.1oz. You can get a bunch of treatments out of one tube so the cost is much less than a spa treatment. 

Here are a few details about the product:

• Facial Mask Tightens and Purifies Pores leaving Clear, Younger Complexion
• Dead Sea Mud Quickly Reduces Acne and Pimples 
• Contains Over 21 Minerals 
• Help to keep skin healthier and act as acne treatment
• This Mask contains 30 Sessions

The Adovia Dead Sea Mud Mask contains 30 Treatments which lasts for 3-4 Months. The company has shared with me that the treatment provides the ingredients and results of a $120 facial at a high end dermatology spa! Adovia is made with Pure Dead Sea Mud with the highest concentration of minerals.  This is vital for facial skin treatment glow. I really like that it has the ability to reduce oil and even pesky blackheads.  They suggest that you apply a layer to clean, dry skin once per week or as needed, as a facial mask for the whole face or as spot treatment for blackheads or pimples.

Instant Miso and Wakame Soups from San-J are Perfect for a quick lunch,dinner, snack or even breakfast

Disclosure:  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. 


Have you ever considered an Asian style breakfast as something different and fun for your family or yourself?  A savory breakfast is the norm in Japan.  I tried eggs recently with soy sauce and loved it.  It is kind of a nice twist on the usual ho-hum breakfast to try something different. San-J has just launched a yummy line of Miso and Wakame soups that are perfect for any time of day including breakfast.  I was so excited to try these since I love both miso and wakame. 

San-J is a well known company who makes high quality products including miso.  They just created an amazing new line of instant Japanese Miso and Wame soups that you can prepare in a flash. Perfect for those days when you need a warm meal for breakfast, lunch dinner or even a snack.  San-J has also included two very important updates...they have sleek new packages and the recipes are now totally gluten-free.  Not only that...they are an all-natural product too. A real trifecta of a meal option in my mind.

Miso and Wakame were always top on my list whenever we went out to Asian restaurants but they always seemed like a huge to-do to prepare at home. I don't know why, I really am an amazing cook. I cook many international dishes too.  Miso and wakame soups just seemed like they were a big project. San-J makes it so easy to have a warm cup or bowl of soup anytime.  I love that you can enjoy these yummy and fast soups for breakfast, lunch or dinner without stepping out of the house. 










It has been so chilly here in the mid-Atlantic that I welcomed a hot Asian breakfast the other morning. I scrambled up an egg and added a bit of San-J Soy Sauce in a flash. I added my water to my cup of Instant Miso soup and had a warming breakfast in less than 5 minutes on a workday.  It was really nice...and delicious!
 
All you need for a delicious and light meal is 8 fluid ounces of boiling hot water and a mug or bowl.  Consider adding some Asian style noodles of your choice, a few slices of scallion or a few squares of fresh tofu for a more substantial meal.  I would pair a cup of soup with a side of scrambled eggs with San-J soy sauce. Yum!  Think about tucking a soup packet into your purse or tote bag for a quick snack at work too. 

I was impressed to hear some thoughts from one of my favorite health and wellness leaders, Andrea Donsky about these new soups too.
“These are great go-to soups anytime of the day, even breakfast, not only because they are delicious and easy to make, but also because they contain nutritionally rich ingredients,” says Andrea Donsky, founder and Editor-in-Chief of the leading health and wellness site, NaturallySavvy.com.  “Miso is a fermented food that helps to improve digestion. It's also high in antioxidants that help strengthen our immune system. Wakame contains important minerals that provide our bodies with magnesium, iodine, iron and calcium which so many of us lack."

What are Miso and Wakame really? Traditional miso soup starts with dashi which is a simple boiled fish stock base. It is slowly simmered and miso paste is added to it along with tofu and wakame seaweed.  A bit of chopped green onions are added just before serving. Wakame soup is a seaweed based soup that is chock full of nutrients. It includes shiitake mushrooms, sesame seeds and a bit of black pepper. San-J's special Wakame recipe includes their 100% soy Tamari Soy Sauce. It is wonderful because it is vegan and Gluten Free.

San-J International was founded in 1804 by the Sato family in Mie, Japan. San-J is still family-run with Takashi Sato in the helm as the current President and eight generation member of the founding family.  They starting brewing their first Tamari in Henrico, Virginia in 1987, continuing their 200 year tradition of Japanese brewing mastery.

A Chapel Springs Romance

This is a book from the Chapel Springs Romance series.  It is very sweet and a nice book to come home to relax with in the evening. Lovely Jade returns home to Chapel Springs after protecting her sweet heart for years and never getting hurt. Daniel comes along and makes her heart sing.

Creative and complicated, Jade McKinley felt like a weed in a rose garden growing up in Chapel Springs. When she left, she thought she'd never look back. But now, pregnant, alone, and broke, she has no other choice but to return.

The mayor of Chapel Springs, Daniel Dawson, has been an honorary member of the McKinley family for years. While his own home life was almost non-existent, Daniel fit right into the boisterous McKinley family. He's loved Jade for years, but she always saw him as a big brother. Now that she's back, his feelings are stronger than ever.

As Jade attempts to settle in, nothing feels right. God seems far away, she's hiding secrets from her family, and she's strangely attracted to the man who's always called her "squirt." Finding her way home may prove more difficult than she imagined.

Win a Kindle HDX!


My thoughts: 

Jade McKinley has been in the big city for years now pursuing her dreams. She left her tiny hometown of Chapel Springs behind so long ago. Awful circumstances have her packing up quickly to go back to the safety of Chapel Springs.  She gets closer to Daniel, someone she has known since she was a little girl. Daniel remembers how much he adored Jade when she was younger but the real question is whether Jade and Daniel can make something of this together now that they are both grown up.

I like a variety of books from mysteries to romance to wacky dystopian stories depending on my mood. I really enjoy the characters and the romance in Dancing with Fireflies. Jade and Daniel were a sweet couple and it was nice to see them grow together. Their families were kind and it was a relaxing read.  It is a mostly happy book but you will feel all the emotions that Jade and Daniel feel as their relationship evolves. The author is very skilled at weaving the whole story together.

Clarity Vitamin C Serum for Your Face: Blogger review Plus Special Discount

Disclosure: 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 don't know about you, but I try so hard to take good care of my skin.  I like to keep up with the latest developments because sometimes new products really make a huge difference. Something simple like vitamin C serum has been in the news a lot lately. Are you wondering why?  Here are a few reasons you might want to consider this simple step in your skincare routine using an excellent brand from EU Naturals.  

Clarity Vitamin C Serum from EU Natural antioxidant blend is a blend of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Hyaluronic Acid, and Herbal Extracts.  It has been demonstrated to smooth skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and even treat those pesky dark spots. The powerful combination actually stimulates collagen production to increase radiance. We all know radiant skin is youthful looking skin.  

I have been using it and I noticed a difference within a few days.  My skin looks more radiant and fresh.  I like it...a bit brighter and less tired looking makes my makeup application a ton easier.  This is a cinch to use too.  Just a few drops gently blended onto your face before the makeup...it truly takes 30 seconds. I expect that I will continue to see more results as I use it into the spring and summer.  I am excited that something so simple and fast can really make a difference for me.

I love that Clarity Vitamin C Serum is organically formulated, and has a unique and powerful ingredient blend. I also love the glow my skin now has.  That dull look has disappeared.  

Clarity shared with me a few key aspects to their Vitamin C Serum to consider:

• Formulated to Smooth the Skin, Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles, and Treat Dark Spots.
• Potent Antioxidant Blend Featuring Organic Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Hyaluronic Acid, and Herbal Extracts.
• Stimulates Collagen Production for Radiant and more youthful looking skin.
• Try Clarity risk-free! Backed by their 100% Money Back Guarantee
• Made in the USA to Strict FDA Standards by cGMP Certified Laboratory Without Parabens or Alcohol.

As I mentioned, it is super easy to use.  Each morning apply 5 to 6 drops to cleansed and dry face, neck and décolleté areas, prior to moisturizer application.  You can buy Clarity Vitamin C Serum at my favorite online marketplace, Amazon right now. Use my special discount code EUN15OFF for an extra 15% discount.
