The story follows Travis and his best friend Jerry Baker from the the time they meet on the football field as kids through high school. Jerry's has an affinity for drinking and other common teenage rites of passage which challenges the friendship. Then Travis develops a tragic infection that destroys his optic nerve and blinds him.

Brookside Dark Chocolate Crunchy Clusters are delicious by themself or as a topping for yogurt or ice cream @crowdtap #sponsored #DiscoverBrookside

Disclosure: I participated in a Crowdtap Sample Share with Brookside. I am eligible to win a prize for participation. My opinions are my own.
 
I work hard to stay fit but that doesn't mean depriving myself. I learned a long time ago if you do that, you will end up eating more in the end because it is a forbidden food. Portion control is the key. Mixing a little bit of a treat with a healthy option is another way that I sneak in my treats here and there. One of my favorites is chocolate so you can imagine I was excited when I received a lovely resealable bag of Brookside Dark Chocolate Crunchy Clusters. These are a yummy little treat that have a berry medley flavor. These are perfect to add a little sweetness to plain Greek yogurt, lowfat cottage cheese or along with a cheese stick and an apple.

Brookside Dark Chocolate Crunchy Clusters have a sweet n' soft berry flavor inside and a crispy, multi-grain exterior that is covered in milk chocolate. Can you imagine how delicious these are? They are so decadent that a small handful satisfies me. I love tossing a small handful into my Greek yogurt or in with my lowfat cottage cheese. It is the sweet treat that I just love.

Valentia Organic Rosehip Oil 100% Natural Anti-Aging Facial #rosehipoil


Spring, summer, fall and winter is dry skin season when you are in your 30's, 40's or beyond.  Am I right?  I have been looking for a natural and organic oil to help keep my skin looking moisturized and dewy so I was interested to try out a 100% natural Rosehip Seed Oil from Valentia. I feel like using a good skin oil is the key to the fountain of youth fro me because it keeps my skin smoother and more plump. I can definitely see it when I use it every day. The oil has an innate ability to hold and retain moisture which is what you need to do

One of the famous physicians on tv all the time says that Rosehip oil is good for your skin, but you have to use it correctly. I like to follow his tips to make the most of this natural beauty treatment:

  • Apply right after a shower while your skin is still moist. 
  • Add 1-2 drops to your daily moisturizer to enhance its benefits.
I like that the Valentia Organic Rosehip Oil naturally contains essential fatty acids (Omega 6, 3 and 9) and Vitamin A and C which provide wonderful skin care support. Organic Rosehip Seed Oil is great natural moisturizer for the skin and hair. It can support the skin in many ways in regard to scars, stretch marks and other spots which is wonderful because I have sunspots. I recently started using it so I will give you an update in few weeks.  I try to be vigilant with my sunscreen each day to avoid further damage.

Think about how Valentia Organic Rosehip Oil can support the skin:
  • Contains powerful Vitamin C and Lycopene antioxidants to promote healthy cell development, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and support the skin against free radicals which lead to premature aging.
  • Replete with high levels of essential fatty acids which supports the body in regard to healing and cell regeneration to reduce the appearance of scars and burns. Naturally occurring vitamin A in Rosehip Oil helps support scar tissue due to  acne, dermatitis and psoriasis. 
  • Works to rehydrate skin quickly by allowing essential fatty acids to lock in moisture, hydrate the skin and keep it soft and supple. Improve your complexion and face the elements.
  • Support improvement of skin discoloration and damage caused by environmental stresses such as UV damage from overexposure to the sun. Hyper-pigmentation and age spots are improved with continued use.
  • Replenish dry, brittle and damaged hair with density, instant shine and smoothness. Nourish your nails and cuticles to prevent hangnails and breakage.


This Rosehip Oil from Valentia includes many key ingredients like Fatty Acids. Oleic acid or omega-9 is incorporated in moisturizers to keep your skin soft and hydrated. Essential fatty acids like linoleic (omega-6) and linolenic (omega-3) are important components of cell membranes. They allow nutrients to enter the cells and wastes to exit. The lack of essential fatty acids can cause your skin to suffer from dryness and premature aging.



The powerful antioxidant Vitamin C protects our skin from free radicals developed due to excess exposure to the sun and environmental pollution that leads to wrinkles. Vitamin C boosts the production of collagen and rejuvenates your skin by restoring its elasticity giving it a youthful and healthy looking glow. It also plays an important role in improving the health of your hair and nails. Vitamin C promotes hair growth and nourishes your nails to prevent breakage.

The naturally occurring vitamin A in Rosehip Oil helps support against wrinkles, sun damage, minor discoloration, hyper-pigmentation and uneven skin tone. Additionally, this potent vitamin works wonders on treating all kinds of scar tissue and burns. Although vitamin A and vitamin C offer similar skin care benefits, the combination of both on your skin leads to a more even glow. Every time I use this rosehip oil I feel like I am revitalizing and hydrating your skin perfectly with this 100% natural anti-aging facial treatment. The multiple components of our Rosehip Oil bring about a unique combination that is great for the skin. It only takes a minute to use it...I try to use it twice a day right after I wash my face in the morning and in the evening. I wake up looking so much better and my skin has been glowing with no trace of dry spots. You can pick up this organic rosehip facial oil right on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.
