So when did my neck get so old looking? I was looking in the mirror and noticed that my neck is that of my mothers! I guess that is one area I have not taken care of like I should have.  I was very excited to try Retseliney Best Professional Vegan Organic Face & Neck Firming Cream  #retseliney.  It is used to help tighten loose and sagging skin.  It helps restore firmness and makes it soft and youthful looking.

I have been using it only for a couple weeks – so I have only notice a little difference but what I like is how easy it is to use and that my skin soaks it up.  It does not feel greasy and is safe for all skin types and for both men and women.

I have also been using Retseliney Best Professional Vegan Organic Peptide Complex Eye Gel, for my puffy eyes. This eye gel is lightweight and  in time will help heal dark circle, puffiness, crow’s feet, fine lines and sagginess so you can achieve a radiant, youthful and firm skin around the eyes.

I have also been using the eye gel for a couple weeks and have found that it is lightweight and gentle. It absorbs quickly into the delicate skin around my eyes. I have noticed that some of the puffiness is fading and so is the sagginess.

I like that all of the products from Retseliney are made with premium natural and organic ingredients.  They do not contain artificial dyes, parabens, phthalates, fragrances or sulfates and never are tested on animals.

I found both products to be gentle and can not wait to see the results in a few more weeks.  If you want to buy either of these products you can find the links below from Amazon.com.

I recently received Burger Press Hamburger Patty Maker – Part of the Gourmet Burgers Essentials by Yumms! #yumms Now I have perfectly made hamburgers and all the same size.  The nice thing is that there is a easy grip lifter makes it effortless to remove the formed patty ~ without ever touching the meat. On top of that, you can also choose the thickness you prefer, thin or thick, with 4.5″ diameter burgers (perfect for fitting buns).

It is so easy to use and makes better burgers than I do with my hands.  You can also use the burger press to make other kinds of patties like crab cakes or seafood patties or what ever you like to make patty shaped.

I also like the quality of the press.  It is made from thick heavy-duty, BPA free white plastic.  It looks very durable and will last a long time.  The Burger Press Hamburger Patty Maker also comes with 10 recipes to give you ideas of other flavors and items to add to your burger. I have used my Burger Press Hamburger Patty Maker a number of times already and will keep using it throughout the year.

If you would like to purchase your own Burger Press Hamburger Patty Maker from Yumms you can do so on the link below from Amazon.com.

I have tried a number of products from Ageless Derma and was excited to try the  Ageless Derma Super Green Moisturizing Serum #Moisturizer. Super Green Moisturizing Serum is specially formulated to maintain the skin’s appropriate moisture balance, keeping skin hydrated and healthy.  It promotes skin firmness and revitalizes dullness to its previous natural glow.

The main pure ingredients within Super Green Moisturizing Serum include Aquaxyl™, a natural sugar derivative. Clinical studies indicate that Aquaxyl™ improves water reserves and limits their loss. Another key ingredient is Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil, which has high concentrations of naturally innate antioxidants. These antioxidants protect skin from the damage caused by environmental toxins and damage. Other ingredients include moisturizing essentials such as shea butter, sodium hyaluronate and certified organic extracts of chamomile, aloe leaf, and olive leaf.

I found that after using Super Green Moisturizing Serum my skin felt soft and it looked radiant.  It seems to have a more healthy glow now.  The nice thing is that it is a moisturizer and also fights the signs of aging. I like that it didn’t feel or look greasy.  My skin loved it – it soaked it right up.  I used it both in the morning and at night.  You can use it under your make-up.

If you would like to purchase Ageless Derma Super Green Moisturizing Serum you can do so HERE.

Happy National Cherry Day!  A fun way to celebrate is to have a Bauli cherry Croissant.  Bauli croissants make for the perfect breakfast or afternoon snack on this popular foodie holiday.  Made with love and naturally leavened dough, the Cherry Jelly croissants are individually wrapped.

I thought these Bauli Cherry Croissants were very good – I warmed mine in the microwave for a few seconds and it tasted great!  Just the right amount of jelly in the middle.  It was a perfect mid morning snack but would be good for breakfast or an afternoon snack.  I like that the croissants are baked in the oven and not fried.  Here are a few features of the Bauli cherry Croissant:

  • Oven-baked
  • No artificial colors
  • No hydrogenated fats
  • Kosher certified
  • Available nationwide at retailers, including: Cost Plus, World Market, Mariano’s Roundy’s, Brookshire, and more
  • MSRP $1.29 for 1.76 oz

The Bauli croissants come in three flavors including Chocolate, Vanilla Custard and the Cherry I tried.  Pick some up today ~ I am sure you will enjoy them.

Love when it’s hot? So do we. Especially when we’re writing about gritty alphas, angsty bad boys, sizzling attraction, and unrequited passion. Turn the fan to oscillate and join us for this steamy, groundbreaking bundle of summer tales that are hot hot hot.

Excerpt:

From “Summer Rhythm” by Brandy L. Rivers

Intending to head for the bar, Chloe got lost in a daydream when she stepped through the door. A familiar song caught her attention. Glancing up, her gaze locked on her biggest regret.

Molten brown eyes, shaggy brown hair, perfectly curved lips twisted in a sinful smirk. That sexy mouth, and talented fingers—and damn, the man could play an instrument. Nearly any.

Smoldering eyes locked on hers for a brief second, igniting hope. Then his brow furrowed as he looked away. Closing his lids, Doug Walsh threw himself into the music like he wanted to banish her from his mind. She couldn’t blame him.

Her desire was a cruel twist of fate. He was even hotter than the last time she saw him, eight years ago. A twinge of guilt thrummed through her and she turned, with the intention of walking out the door.

Someone looped their arm through hers and dragged her toward the bar.

“Thought I mentioned your favorite mistake was playing tonight,” Jackie sing-songed. They’d been best friends since kindergarten. As much as Chloe loved her, Jackie was going to torture her.

She didn’t want to think about the way she’d let Doug in, only to shut him out the next morning. Not once, but twice.

Hopeless, she looked over. “If you had, I wouldn’t have come.”

With a dejected sigh, she climbed onto a stool and dropped her chin into her hand. Nodding at the bartender, she ordered, “Long Island, please?”

Bartender dipped his head in acknowledgement.

Jackie nudged her. “Why not? Clearly you’re still hung up on him. I saw your reaction.”

“He probably hates me.”

“Nah. He never let it slow him down.”

Her mouth fell open. “Are you saying Doug turned into a man-whore?”

Jackie’s brow scrunched. “Not exactly. Though he doesn’t have a problem picking up women.”

“That’s karma for you.” Chloe turned to find her drink. Tracing the disposable coaster, she took a sip from the tall glass before asking, “Why did you invite me here?”

“Figured it would be like old times. Only without having to sneak into bars.”

Chloe giggled. “What the hell. He’s already seen me and the worst he can do is ignore my sorry ass.”

A smirk lifted one corner of Jackie’s mouth as she looked to the stage. “Doubt he’ll ignore you long. He can’t seem to keep his eyes off you.”

Vitamin B12 helps in maintaining overall energy levels and cognitive abilities supports a healthy lifestyle. Vitamin B12 and folate help preserve DNA integrity and are important for lowering homocysteine levels. Key medical experts even suggest that all healthy adults over 50 years of age supplement their diets with 100 to 400 micrograms per day of Vitamin B12.

In the past I have taken B12 to help give me a bit more energy and was excited to try this Maxasorb B12.  Along with the increase in my energy level B12 is good for anti-aging, supports renewal of healthy skin cells, reduces appearance of wrinkles, moisturizes.  What I found was that the Vita Sciences Vitamin B12 skin cream worked well.  It gave my skin lots of moisture and actually helped heal a couple patches of dry skin.  My skin felt like it was soothed and nourished.

The bottle has 30 measured applications, enough for a month.  If you would like to purchase Vita Sciences Vitamin B12 skin cream you can do so on the link below from Amazon.com.

Rex loves to BBQ or he did until our apartment complex told us we couldn’t have a grill any more.  The one problem that we had when grilling in the past was that when it got dark it was hard to see the grill.  We had a light but it left shadows ~ so Rex was very happy to have this barbecue Grill Light for BBQ Grilling – by Yumms.  It has 10 ultra bright LED and the grill light illuminates the entire barbecue grilling surface without shadows, so you’re able to clearly see the food you’re cooking.

What is really nice is that it comes with an easy adjustable mounting kit so it fits on any size barbecue. It is easy to move it too.    It would be great to take camping or to keep in your car for emergency lighting.  It is also weather resistant so the unit can be used if it’s raining (without having to worry about it malfunctioning or becoming a safety hazard).

Those of you who know me know that I am weird about making sure my produce has been washed.  I rinse and spin my lettuce three times before I use it.  I was excited to see the new packaging for NatureSweet® Tomatoes.  The packaging is 100 percent recyclable  and features a  re-sealable lid with ventilation holes in  both the top  and  bottom of the container, making the rinse  and  storage  process a breeze for consumers.

NatureSweet® tomatoes are greenhouse grown in a controlled environment, from the seeds, to the growing medium, to the water that is used. NatureSweet® tomatoes begin with seeds that have been selected for their superior taste and all plants are nurtured with a “secret recipe” of water and nutrients. You can taste the difference.IMG_1191

NatureSweet® come in a number of varieties including  Cherubs®, SunBursts™,  Glorys™,  Cherriots™,  Jubilees™ and Constellation™.   We have tried a number of them and I do love the containers.  You just peel open the top to rinse the tomatoes or to take out the tomatoes you want to use. I have noticed that the tomatoes last a lot longer in this container than others I have purchased.

I am not a big fan of tomatoes but Rex loves them – he likes when I add them to his salads and pasta.  He even eats the NatureSweet® Glorys and Cherubs right out of the container.  The NatureSweet® website gives you lots of recipes so you can try the tomatoes in a variety of ways.

You can find NatureSweet® products nationwide at your local grocery store.  I have found them at Albertsons and Safeway here in Oregon.

Starting this time of year I start drinking more things like lemonade and ice tea. I don’t like adding any sugar to my drinks but I have been looking for an Organic product to use to give my drinks a bit more flavor.  I recently found out that SweetLeaf makes an Organic Stevia Sweetener.   SweetLeaf® is the award-winning stevia sweetener with zero calories, zero carbs, non-glycemic response and NO artificial ingredients.  IMG_1190

What is Stevia? The Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni plant was discovered more than 1,500 years ago by the native Guarani people,  growing in clumps of two or three along the edges of the rainforests of Paraguay. In the beginning, the natives used the leaves for their medicinal benefit, to freshen their breath and to sweeten and mellow the strong taste of herbal yerba maté tea.

Now Stevia is used in many different products.  SweetLeaf offers the SweetLeaf Sweetener, Sweet Drops, SweetLeaf Water Drops and now Organic Sweet Leaf Organic Stevia Sweetener.

The Organic Sweet Leaf Organic Stevia Sweetener comes in a variety of different containers – including a shaker and individual packets.  I love the packets so that I can bring them in my purse and use them when ever I am away from home.  Each little packet contains the sweetness of two teaspoons of sugar and is perfect to add to your drink, coffee, cereal or fruit.

If you would like to try the Organic Sweet Leaf Organic Stevia Sweetener or any of the other SweetLeaf products you can do so HERE.
