Let Soap & Paper Factory Fill Your Holiday Stocking

The Soap & Paper Factory is no stranger to me. We have been enjoying many of their beautifully scented natural gifts and some of their amazing bath and body products for quite some time. This Holiday Season, I am stocking up with Soap & Paper Factory Shea Butter Soaps. Why am I stocking up? Because my husband found a scent that he really enjoys and that doesn’t happen very often.

Close

His favorite is “CLOSE”, (shown above).  We finally found a scented soap that be both like! This Shea Butter soap smells incredible with its scents of Sandalwood, Vetiver and Oakmoss. It’s a  nice invigorating scent that both men and women will enjoy.

Bella

Although I really enjoy “CLOSE”, I also like the fruity scents and “BELLA” is my personal favorite. “BELLA”  has a scent of  Bergamot, Grapefruit and Black Pepper and after washing, the scent will linger on your skin for hours.
These delightful .4 oz bars of shea soaps will leave your skin feeling soft and refreshed. They come in 3 scents, Close, Bella and Midnight. Not only do these fabulous fragrances come in a soap but also as a Solid Perfume, Shea Butter Hand Cream, and Tn Candles.

This Holiday Season,  choose your gift in the scents of your choice at  http://www.soapandpaperfactory.com/ and fill those stockings.

John Frieda Salon Shine Will Blow You Away

300-3

 

We have acquired a new hair appliance and it has blown us away, well our hair that is. Our new John Frieda Salon Shine Blow Dryer is sensational. Why wouldn’t it be? We love all of our John Frieda hair appliances. My girls use John  Frieda’s Smooth Shine Flat Iron several times a week, and my daughter Adrienne is still making curls with her John Frieda Spiral Curl Iron and they can’t  live without John Frieda® Frizz Ease® Hair Setter.

IMG_4447

I assure you, John Frieda Salon Shine Blow Dryer will be no different. With features like 2X Shine, 3X Frizz Control and Advanced IONIC Technology, who wouldn’t want this blow dryer for their very own. Adrienne is using the blow dryer with the diffuser attachment that was included with the blow dryer, and she is using it like a pro.

All of John Frieda’s hair appliances have Advanced IONIC Technology. What is Advanced IONIC Technology you ask? As stated by their website http://www.johnfrieda.com/, “An electronic ionizer generates negative ions, which neutralize positive ions in the atmosphere. The neutralization process flattens and seals the hair cuticle, reducing frizziness and leaving the hair looking shiny.”  It sounds to good to be true, but the advanced IONIC technology really does work. Adrienne says blow drying is fast, easy and eliminates frizz, what could be better than that?.

John Frieda Salon Shine Blow Dryer also features 1875 watts of power, a cool shot, 3 heat settings and 2 speed settings. With this blow dryer you can achieve  voluminous hair with a round bristle brush or pin straight hair with the paddle brush. Whatever you decide you won’t be disappointed.

Murad’s Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum is AMAZING!

s654095-main-hero

If you are wondering whether or not age spot treatments work, I can tell you with certainty that Murad Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum definitely does work! My husband was my tester on this product. He has had a dark spot on his face for quite some time. Although he never minded it being there, he was definitely open to the possiblilty of lightening it. He applied the serum to the area including the dark spot twice daily for approximately 3 weeks and  as you can see from the photos below (which were untouched), there is a definite lightening. He was very impressed and is continuing with the product to help keep the dark spot as light as possible.

“before”  & “after”

0-102_2 0-103
Murad Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum contains 2.0% Hydroquinone Skin lightener and will also prevent the development of new pigmentation. According to Dr. Murad, this is how it works, “Glycolic Acid exfoliates to remove dead skin cells, helping the active ingredient to penetrate more quickly for faster results.” also, “88% of study participants saw a more even skintone in 2 weeks.”

This amazing Serum was formulated to lighten age spots, freckles, liver spots and pigments created by other causes such as pregnancy. It also is made without Parabens and Phthalates.

Murad  was  created by Board Certified Dermatologist and Pharmacist, Dr. Howard Murad. He created an amazing skincare line allowing people to look and feel better. He is also creator of   resurgence and according to our bloggers that is a product also worth checking out.

Dr. Murad’s motto is, “Beautiful skin is healthy skin, healthy skin is beautiful.”

Let Your Hair Spin Out of Control with John Frieda

 

Your curls will spiral out of control, with John Freida’s Spiral Conical Iron. This particular John Frieda hair tool was on my daughter Adrienne’s wish list last Christmas and after checking it out and getting the facts on this eye catching, intriguing spiral iron, I bought it for her and she is still using it 1 year later.

John Frieda Spiral Curl JFC11 Conical Curling Iron features a Titanium Ceramic Barrel and an ionic generator to minimize static for smooth results. LCD temperature control allows precise operation, heats in only 30 seconds and has 4 heat  settings ranging from 220* and as high as 400*

*low for delicate thin and easy to curl hair

*Medium for average to thick hair or treated hair

*Med-High for thick or wavy hair

*High/Max for Hard to Curl Hair

One year later, Adrienne still loves this spiral iron and uses it often. She likes the fact that no clamps are needed and the spiral guide on the iron allows her to easily wrap her hair around it. For tighter bouncier curls she will roll less hair and for looser curls she will roll more hair. The options arer endless and she is having fun creating her hair styles. I found my John Frieda Spiral Conical Iron at http://www.target.com/p/john-frieda-spiral-conical.

Suffering from Extra Dry Skin? Curel is the Answer!

300-1

I have some friends who suffer from extremely dry skin, especially in the fall and winter months. The indoor heat doesn’t help their situation and sometimes their skin gets so dry, their skin cracks. They don’t have to say a word, you can see it on their hands and fingers. “What do you do to help the dry skin?”, I ask. They have great results with Curel Ultra Healing Intensive Lotion, they swear by it.

Curel Ultra Healing Intensive Lotion has been clinically tested and proven to heal and protect your skin for 24 hours. Curel will help the driest and most irritated skin and you will feel the softness and smoothness return to your hands and skin after your first application. Curel is designed to heal your skin’s moisture barrier, this helps the skin lock in valuable moisture over time.

Curel Ultra Healing Intensive Lotion offers Advanced Ceramide Therapy. As stated by Curel, “Research proves that dry skin typically occurs when skin’s ceramide levels are depleted.  While traditional lotions only hydrate skin’s surface, Curel® moisturizers work at the source of dryness to replenish skin’s ceramide levels. – not just relieving symptoms, but actually improving skin performance.”

Curel Ultra Healing Intensive Lotion promises to give your skin 24 hour protection from dryness and absorbs quickly, therefore, providing instant relief to your dry and irritated skin. Curel Ultra Healing Intensive Lotion is dermatologist tested and is suitable for all skin types you can even use Curel on your face. Cruel was made especially for you and your sensitive skin.
