Belitae FRESH-C Vitamin C serum Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Are you tired of dry winter skin and you are determined to get a fresh, pretty and bright look for spring?  I am too!  Serums are the newest and easiest non-surgical option out there to help set your skin in the right direction. Have you heard about Vitamin C serums yet?  I have been so excited about them and I was pleased to have the opportunity to review Belitae Organics FRESH Vitamin C Serum recently.  You are going to love what it does for your skin..I was pretty impressed.   

Belitae Organics FRESH is formulated with STAY-C50! What is this?  Belitae's FRESH-C Vitamin C Serum is formulated with this proven highly active form of Vitamin C. This Vitamin C goes to work deep in the layers of your skin where it is converted to Ascorbic Acid by your cells. It has the added benefit of staying fresh in the bottle until applied and absorbed by your skin too.   STAY-C50 has been studied to  show that it is a more stable and bio-available formulation of Vitamin C. What this means for you (and me!) is that more "C" gets to the place you want it to be…deep inside your skin. This way your skin gets the most benefit from all that special restorative, refining and brightening that Vitamin C can do for you. Belitae Organics Vitamin C serum bio-converts to L-ascorbic acid when it combines with those enzymes in your skin.  More of it is available to help you be the most beautiful you can be.  STAY-C 50 is a very potent antioxidant but no worries for you or me since it does not oxidize in the bottle. 

An amazing fact that I learned is that topical Vitamin C  is 20 times more effective when applied on your skin versus popping a vitamin pill.  Vitamin C serum has been shown to restore, refine and brighten skin and we could all use a little of that!  Belitae Organics shared with me that their product can offer reduction in age spots and discoloration, smoother, more vibrant skin, reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, hydrated, healthier and younger looking skin and even a boost in collagen production.  You need to use it every day to see long term results. That is a huge deal for one little bottle!

My thoughts
I have been using this for a few weeks now.  It is very gentle and easy to use. I don't have a ton of extra time for wiggle room in my beauty routine but this is super fast and simple. I just put a few dots on in the am and pm when my face is clean and it dries in about 30 seconds. I continue with the rest of my makeup during the day or night creams in the evening. I see that my skin looks brighter and fresher in the morning. I simply don't look as exhausted as I did this winter. I really needed something to rev up my routine this spring and I feel like I am seeing a benefit. I think I will notice more of a benefit over the next few months. I will also be diligent as usual with my sunscreen regimen so I don't take any steps backward.

Bellitae Organics is an excellent skin care option for anyone who needs a little brighter or fresher look and doesn’t want a complicated routine. You can pick up Belitae Organics FRESH-C Vitamin C Serum right on Amazon for only $15.95.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Movie and Prize Pack Giveaway #Spiderman

Many thanks to Propeller, LLC for providing this prize for the giveaway. Choice of winners and opinions are 100% my own and NOT influenced by monetary compensation. I did receive a sample of the product in exchange for this review and post. Only one  entrant per mailing address, per giveaway. If you have won the same prize on another blog, you are not eligible to win it again. Winner is subject to eligibility verification."

The Amazing Spiderman 2 comes to theaters this May! Can you believe it is almost here? It is going to be a fantastic movie and perfect for the whole family. If a lot of action, crafty villains and a few explosives will give your family a thrill then you are going to be as hopped up as we are.  I was so excited when I heard about an unique opportunity to share a Family Discussion Guide surrounding the movie.  This was created as a resource for families like mine to discuss those important themes that are key to this movie.  Themes that go right to the heart of what many of us are trying to teach our children.  It allows you to broach subjects like the relationship between personal choices and destiny, living a life that counts, sacrificing yourself in service to others, and the nature of power. These are all so important for children to understand and this guide will help parents start those conversations with their children.  Hopefully these kinds of regular discussions will inspire them to think outside themselves and challenge them to live lives that really matter. The conversations that will result from using this guide will reveal that even the most explosive summer blockbuster can leave lasting, positive impacts on its young viewers.  Don't you think this sounds amazing? What could be better!

Disclosure:  I received the MyDream complimentary in order to review it. I was not financially compensated for this post.  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 was lucky enough to recently preview an amazing new family friendly game that your kids are going to love. This is a fun and exciting game that you can feel comfortable about the kids playing. MyDream Family Edition is mydream.com/family.  Next week, I am going to have some beta key codes that so all you readers will have the chance to win free MyDream early access. The beta version currently costs $5, and similar to Minecraft, the retail version will run around $29.99 or so. I think that is very reasonable for a safe, kid-friendly game.

MyDream currently has a Kickstarter campaign that ends this Friday night. Kickstarter is all about voting with your dollars. It would be fantastic if you  can support the mission to create a game kids can play without parent worry.  You can contribute  on their Kickstarter campaign before Friday, April 11.

Check out some of the stunning game images. The game includes beautiful sunsets, sunrises, starry skies and varied building types for historical genres with corner pieces, cornices, specialty fencing and Roman Greco columns for amazing doll houses and virtual castles.  You know the kids are just going to go nuts over this game. There are the historical worlds, but kids and parents can also create a new world of their own.

They even have a MyDream Forum up and running already so you can get more scoop there. 

They already have 10K+ Twitter followers, tons of FB friends and many more registered users so you know this is going to be an amazing game. Let me know what you think and consider a contribution!

Rainbow Braid 2400 Refill Kit Loom Activity Review

Disclosure:  I received the Rainbow Braid 2400 Refill Kit complimentary in order to review it. I was not financially compensated for this post.  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.

Do your children enjoy crafts and creativity games?  They might already be familiar with the popular loom brands like Rainbow Loom.  Those pretty colored rubber bands go fast when the kids get full of creative energy though but I recently found a perfect solution. Rainbow Braid has a Refill Kit that is full compatible with all kinds of rubber band looms.  They just got their new website set up so now you can buy direct too:  http://shop.rainbowbraid.com/

Rainbow Braid 2,400 Refill Kit is available on Amazon so you can get them shipped to your house fast too. Each 2,400 piece Creativity Loom Refill Set has plenty of supplies to keep the kids busy on any rainy or even snowy day.  You receive 200 each of 12 different gorgeous colors including Solid/Neons (Red, Orange, Light Green, Green, Light Blue, Purple, Rose, Pink), Glow in the Dark (Yellow) and Bolds (Black, White) I love that Rainbow Braid stands by their 365 Day 100% Money Back Guarantee.

You receive individual bags when you order from Rainbow Braid so no worries about color bleed with bands rubbing. It also makes it super easy for kids to organize themselves. They also have reduced that rubber band odor via special airing process in manufacturing & bags designed with airing holes.

This is a great way for kids to express their creativity and hang out together.  I have seen girls and boys with looms too.  This is an activity that is perfect for kids of all ages too. It is a relaxing and fun activity where kids can come up with new designs and make jewelry all their own. A much better way to spend time individually or as a group versus on those computers, phones and laptops!
