Uth Anti-aging Formula Serum a Simple Smoothing Solution Review

Sometimes I feel like throwing up my hands and just saying, "I give up." It gets that challenging to keep the wrinkles and fine lines at bay sometimes. I don't know, you hit your 40's and it is so much work. Really. I know you are in the same camp with me, sister. If there was something simple, I would get less discouraged.  The timing was perfect when I heard about a new, simple anti-aging formula called Uth Serum. It actually IS a SIMPLE SMOOTHING SOLUTION.

Uth is a totally new product that is formulated for 2014.  None of those complicated regimens that just left me overwhelmed. It is a simple little jar. Very easy to use. They tell me that new Uth Anti-Aging Serum fights aging while improving the health and beauty of the skin.  They use an exclusive proprietary ingredient called RETEXTRA®. This special ingredient makes this formulation unique, safe, and very effective. Uth is the only anti-aging product that currently contains this novel retinoid.  

Personally, I like that Uth is not irritating since my skin can sometimes get fussy.  It has no smell and is totally colorless too.  Not greasy at all either. It feels totally revolutionary when you put it on. It glides right on your skin and absorbs very quickly.  It has a silky, powdery sort of finish that feels really different and elegant. Elegant is actually the best way to describe it. My skin feels and looks smooth after I apply it. 
Uth shares with me a bit of information about their innovative Anti-Aging Serum:
  • Dramatically smooths fine lines and wrinkles in just 7 days
  • Patent pending advanced retinoid formula
  • Not irritating to the skin
  • Significantly improves skin health and tone
  • Leaves skin with a radiant glow
  • Silky smooth and powdery application
I have been following the instructions which suggest applying in the morning and at night to freshly cleansed skin. Apply to face, neck, upper chest and on the backs of the hands.  Very simple and easy to follow.

I like the small size of the jar too. It is easy to toss in your purse for a quick touch up or for travel. No problem fitting the jar into that quart size zipper bag and keeps travel light. That is an eternal problem when I am traveling for business so I am thrilled to have a lightweight solution that doesn't fall short for me. I like the fact that the Uth serum provides a bit of a glow so even after a long plane ride I can still look fresh and ready for work too. Let me know what you think.

NIGHTLINE’S Dan Harris’ 10% HAPPIER Kindle HDX Giveaway!

  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.


A little bit about the book:

After having a nationally televised panic attack on Good Morning America, Dan Harris knew he had to make some changes. A lifelong nonbeliever, he found himself on a bizarre adventure, involving a disgraced pastor, a mysterious self-help guru, and a gaggle of brain scientists. Eventually, Harris realized that the source of his problems was the very thing he always thought was his greatest asset: the incessant, insatiable voice in his head, which had both propelled him through the ranks of a hyper-competitive business and also led him to make the profoundly stupid decisions that provoked his on-air freak-out.

We all have a voice in our head. It's what has us losing our temper unnecessarily, checking our email compulsively, eating when we're not hungry, and fixating on the past and the future at the expense of the present. Most of us would assume we're stuck with this voice --- that there's nothing we can do to rein it in --- but Harris stumbled upon an effective way to do just that. It's a far cry from the miracle cures peddled by the self-help swamis he met; instead, it's something he always assumed to be either impossible or useless: meditation. After learning about research that suggests meditation can do everything from lower your blood pressure to essentially rewire your brain, Harris took a deep dive into the underreported world of CEOs, scientists, and even marines who are now using it for increased calm, focus, and happiness.

10% Happier by Nightline anchor Dan Harris embarks on an unexpected, hilarious, and deeply skeptical odyssey through the strange worlds of spirituality and self-help and discovers a way to get happier that is truly achievable.

My thoughts after reading it:  I have tried a few times over the years to do meditation but never really gave it a total go.  I have such a stressful career and I thought that 10% Happier was an excellent book on how meditation helped to calm the voices Dan's head and how it can help me and you and almost anyone that is willing to really try it out.  You know that voice...the one that says we aren't working hard enough, or that chides us for the stinking cookie this afternoon. This book explained the benefits of meditation in a easier to understand way.  Dan Harris started practicing meditation after having a full blown panic attack while delivering the news live on air. After some research and discussions with different people, Dan decided on trying meditation. It is interesting that he shares some of the solid scientific information about the benefits of meditation too.
It actually shows why meditation is helpful even to lower your blood pressure and it could possibly make you 10% happier...thus the apt title for the book. He shares his story and it is funny and serious at the same time. It is an interesting book and it has spurred me to try meditation again....I recently started yoga and meditation would also be a good addition for me.

Woo Bamboo Sprout Kids Toothbrush Review and Giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
The Bamboo "Sprout" from WooBamboo is an eco-friendly bamboo-handled children's toothbrush. It is the perfect size for little hands and has nice, soft bristles. 
 

Do you struggle to live a green lifestyle? We all know that sometimes a green lifestyle encompasses little steps at a time. It is hard to balance it all but I calm myself when I know I can do one thing to make a difference. I remind myself I really do what I can as a mom and a resident of our good Earth. I recently heard about a great company called WooBamboo that certainly does their share to remain eco-conscious. I never considered the impact of discarded toothbrushes but it totally makes sense. Three of us...we throw out toothbrushes every 3-4 months and start with a fresh one. Geez, that IS a lot of plastic going in the trash!

WooBamboo is a company that thinks green every way they can. They look to make a difference every day with their eco-friendly products for adults and children. I recently received a WooBamboo toothbrush for kids and I love that I can make a difference morning and night when my child brushes her teeth. My child has enjoyed brushing her teeth with the WooBamboo soft toothbrush for the past few days. It was comfortable for her to use and the brush was soft and gentle. It also gave us an opportunity to talk about ways that our family could be even greener...like shutting the water off when we brush our teeth!

WooBamboo has adult toothbrushes as well so I reminded myself to check them out too on their website. I found their WooBamboo children's dental products to be of excellent quality and using them is a fantastic way to make a small difference every day.

Dr. Carey’s Baby Care: First Year Baby Care Guide Review + Giveaway

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

Some of those baby care books out there are just encyclopedias. Like you really have time for that. Right. You just had a baby. You are sleeping so little. Trying to get back to yourself. Some kind of schedule. Integrate the new baby into a routine. You need to get some answers and figure out the basics.  Here's your ultimate solution:  Dr. Carey’s Baby Care: First Year Baby Care Guide. 

Think of this book as a user’s guide to your baby’s first year, an office visit to your baby’s physician found between the covers of this book. It’s arranged so that the most common questions are handled by topic. It is not an overwhelming book either. Each chapter is short so even if you have only a few minutes you can really learn something useful. 
I love how the book is set up and organized. Dr. Carey's goal is to answer a lot of the questions parents have that their own physicians may not spend the time to really answer. You get a clear, simple answer that is easy to understand. One thing that is excellent is all the really life pictures so you know what to look for whether it is diaper rash (that photo hurts but at least you know what it looks like so you can get it remedied faster!) or colic. This book has almost 100 pictures. Let's face it...as a new mom you are running on minimal sleep so more pictures and less words are the perfect solution. I mean this. Think about it. Pictures are easy to absorb and understand.  


This is a primer for the baby essentials. Nothing is meant to be a substitute for your own pediatrician or health practitioner. If you have a serious issue you need to immediately consult with your own pediatrician. There are certainly many medically related questions that are best answered by someone in the medical field, but for baby basics, this is the book you want. Don't forget to enter my giveaway to win your own copy of this excellent book. a Rafflecopter giveaway
