NEUTROGENA Naturals Purifying Makeup Remover CleansingTowelettes #sponsored #WipeForWater #contest @influenster @neutrogena @influenstervox #voxbox


I was recently selected to test new Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes. This is a novel way to get my face super clean with no need to rinse! I used to use so much water along with my liquid face wash to clean my face. I didn't think about how much water I was wasting. On the other hand, I didn't realize there was another option that really was effective.  These cleansing towelettes are truly a new generation. The older ones from a different brand that I had tried worked okay but they really didn't get all the makeup off. Holy smoke....these Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Makeup Remover wipes get it ALL off. I totally love that I don't need to rinse.




In addition to the fact that these wipes do a great job of cleansing my face I can be a little greener each evening. I didn't realize that the average household wastes about 10,000 gallons of water a year in different ways. Here is an easy way to make a difference and waste less water. I wear makeup daily but now I can use Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes to clean my face thoroughly of all makeup....even mascara...with no need to rinse.  Truly, these work great and my face feels clean. A win-win for my skin and the environment.

Even better, this month Neutrogena Naturals is partnering with The Nature Conservancy to save water. Share the good word with friends and family using the hashtag #WipeForWater to make a contribution. Don't forget to head out to the store and pick up these great makeup remover towelletes to use at home and on the go for a clean face and be greener this spring and summer.

Invivo Essential 4 Ounce Fractionated Coconut Oil 4 oz perfect for travel or home #invivoessential



I am always looking for simple but effective beauty care options like moisturizers and creams. Coconut oil is one of those that I recently discovered for it efficacy and long life. It is a fantastic skin, hair and face moisturizer that you can use alone or blended with expensive essential oils. Think about how much you can save by blending the unscented Invivo Essential Fractionated Coconut Oil with your expensive organic essential oils.  


I love to make my own do-it-yourself beauty creams, lotions and butters using a carrier oil blended with a variety of essential oils. The possibilities are endless but years ago I used to spend a bundle at the luxury boutiques and beauty stores...who knew I could do it myself? It is so easy to use products like this fractionated coconut oil (for topical use only!) and combine it with a variety of essential oils to get the perfectly scented creams, lotions and oils that I love. It is inexpensive and even makes a great gift for friends. 

 Invivo Essential Fractionated Oil has tons of skin care benefits but it is great for using as a massage oil whether you add essential oils or not. The fractionated coconut carrier and massage oil by Invivo creates a protective barrier on your skin that does not clog pores. It provides a light-weight and non-greasy finish so it is ideal to use post shower or bath. It is composed of 100 percent natural coconut oil so I feel good every time I use it on my body.

The shelf life of fractionated coconut oil with proper storage conditions is indefinite. Coconut oil needs to be stored in a cool location, out of the direct sunlight. This is an ideal product for massage therapy because the oil remains in liquid form provided by the fractionating process.

The Fractionated Coconut Oil offered by Invivo is considered an all-natural type of carrier oil. It absorbs quickly and easily into my skin too.  This makes it a go-to option for all types of external skin care.  I really love how it creates a soothing skin barrier without clogging pores.  It is a great option for dry skin like mine. It provides you with a non-greasy, silky smooth feel, unlike some other carrier oil options. It is completely soluble with all types of essential oils and is odorless and colorless, which means it will not stain fabrics. It also has a prolonged shelf life, which means it will not go rancid. This oil is designed for topical use only

Luxe de Soie Argan Oil-Infused Facial Care Is a nourishing treat forskin #LuxeLumineuxArganOilInfusedFacialCareSeriesLuxedeS



I really spend a great deal of time taking good care of my skin. I was excited to try a luxury skin care option from Luxe d' Soie. I had the opportunity to try their Silken Luxury Skin and Body cream. This is an special cream that is the basic building block of their series. It is unscented and luxuriously blended with Silken Gold Argan oil and Vitamin E.



This luxurious cream has a special blend of oils, butters, vitamins and botanical extracts. It feels wonderful and silky on my skin. It is enriched even further with pure organic cold-pressed Silken Gold Argan Oil.  This gentle, unscented cream was designed to protect, nourish and support delicate facial and body skin. I have been using it all week and my face and decollete look plumper and the lines are softer and less prominent.






The cream comes in three different forms to address everyone's different needs.  There is Grand Jour, Bonne Nuit and the one I tried, the unscented Luxe de Soie so there is an option for every skincare type. Grand Jour is the luxurious facial day cream. This cream was specially designed to engage the senses with the light, fresh scent of Honeysuckle.  If you love the floral scent of fresh scent of lavender you will adore their Bonne Nuit Night Facial Cream. This nourishing cream is deeply scented with fresh lavender essential oils to add to the feeling of relaxation. I think I will have to consider the Bonne Nuit as well since I love lavender.

I really like that the Luxe de Soie with added Vitamin E is unscented and is designed for both face and body. It makes it easy for me to moisturize even when I am busy since I can use the cream on my face and body. That is a real time saver. The lovely creams lets me luxuriate in the silken feel of this special cream. It is replete with anti-aging and anti-oxidant ingredients that penetrate deeply and makes my skin look great in the morning.

You can pick up Luxe de Soie facial cream on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.

Oral Stericlean Portable UV Toothbrush Sanitizer #oralstericlean



You always hear all the stories and you wonder. I really try to keep my bath clean but who knows. I love the idea of a toothbrush sanitizer for my own health. Oral SteriClean UV Portable Sanitizer has been clinically shown to eradicate bacteria. That is comforting since I put my toothbrush in my mouth every single day....I want it to be as clean as it can be. This is a simple device that can help.

Oral SteriClean is manufactured in FDA registered facilities under manufacturing certifications that are specific to medical devices. They actually have to follow stricter regulations to assure safety and efficacy.  The company shared that this device has been clinically tested and proven to eradicate icky bacteria.

This great innovative product stores and sanitizes  a single toothbrush or electric head. It is durable and a perfect option for travel. This is an option that is made for children, teenagers, students, adults and even the elderly. It is a great option for healthy, ill or immuno-compromised individuals to support good living.  Oral SteriClean is the excellent UV Toothbrush Sanitizer and a cinch to use.

Oral SteriClean UV Toothbrush Sanitizers are not used just to keep our mouth healthy body healthy.  Exposure to bacteria on toothbrushes can cause bacteria to enter the body. I don't have to tell you what can happen from there. Oral SteriClean is the only sanitizer that has proven clinical efficacy.

It is so easy to use it too. Al I do is place my toothbrush in the sanitizer and close it.  The unit automatically turns on and off. It's that simple and the toothbrush is sanitized. A single toothbrush can harbor as many as 100 million bacteria. Ewwww!  The company shared nformation from the New York State Dental Journal in a 2012 article that stated, "70 % toothbrushes are heavily contaminated with microorganisms affecting our heart and making us sick."  Even the CDC noted that toothbrushes can remain contaminated with potentially pathogenic bacteria even after they have been rinsed off. Even yuckier!

Oral SteriClean is often recommended by medical and dental professionals too. I am not surprised that Oral SteriClean UV Portable Traveler Sanitizer was the stocking stuffer of 2012 and nominated for one of the best health products of 2013. It is such a simple but effective tool to keep a toothbrush clean.  Information has been published about it by Dentistry IQ, Journal RDH magazine, The Tatum Times, Bio Portfolio, and Bio Medicine. This is an FDA Listed Medical Device so you can feel more confident in the efficacy like I do.
