Crowdtap Spring Cocktail Creations

Disclaimer: I received a complimentary cup, straws and beverage napkin set from Crowdtap. My opinions are my own.

 Crowdtap recently challenged some members to create a unique cocktail when then sent us a mission that included a cute mason jar, festive straws, branded napkins and a jar cover.

Here is what I crafted for a fun Mother's Day weekend celebration:

Mamas Special Green Tea Cocktail

8 oz fresh brewed green tea, cooled

1 tsp agave

1/2 rasp fresh squeezed lemon juice

1 shot lemon flavored vodka 

Ice to taste

Blend together gently with spoon and decorate with lemon curls. Enjoy.

Let me know your thoughts and Happy Mother's Day! 

Leather Conditioner & Cleaner Review

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

Leather products are great because they really give you such joy for years and years. From leather couches to purses, shoes and even skirts, they just feel wonderful and clean up fast. It is important to care for them properly and clean and condition them with a good product. I recently was able to check out a trio of products from Leather Nova which have all my leather goods looking like new.  Leather Nova Cleaner does a great job of cleaning and freshening up any kind of leather.  I had several pairs of shoes that were in need of some serious cleaning and this had them looking great. I followed up with the Leather Nova conditioner and I was so excited to go out to work every day this week with clean, shiny shoes. I wore a different pair of heels every day so I could enjoy my clean shoes. The company shared with me that it is super for cleaning all types of leather, vinyl & plastic. It comes in a large 18 oz spray bottle so it lasts and lasts. It gently and safely cleans ALL types of leather surfaces, including purses, shoes, sofas, chairs, car seats, etc. It even comes with a free microfiber towel for cleaning.

Leather Conditioner-Apply this to restore and bring back the luster of almost any leather surface.  This works beautifully after you have first cleaned the leather. It restores your leather and it also prolongs the life of your leather surfaces. All my shoes look brand new after cleaning and conditioning them with Leather Nova. The wonderful part is that it works on all types of leather,vinyl and plastic surfaces. Leather Nova is super for shoes, saddles, purses, sofas,chairs and even leather car seats. It's made from high grade polymers and is completely non-toxic. As a bonus it comes with a free applicator pad.

Leather Conditioner and Cleaner -This is the time saving 3-in-1 product from Leather Nova. I love how it cleans, conditions and restores all your leather goods back to the original fresh, glossy look. It also comes in an 18 oz bottle so lasts forever. It's great for cleaning and conditioning your leather products in one step. It is super easy and fast to use. You just apply the product directly on the leather item or the applicator pad and wipe away.  

You can buy these great leather cleaning products on Amazon to make your life super simple.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Uth Anti-aging Formula Serum a Simple Smoothing Solution Review

Disclosure of Material Connection:  My opinions are my own. I received one or more of the products or services mentioned above in the hope that I would mention it on my blog. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and  believe would be good for my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255:  "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."

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.
