As I mentioned previously, you’ll be seeing a few reviews and my thoughts on different StriVectin products I’ve been using over the last few months.  The StriVectin Intensive Eye Concentrate for Wrinkles has been a product I have had in my possession for about 4 months now, maybe longer.  And, after using it this long – I’m finally able to share my thoughts with you on this particular product.

The StriVectin Intensive Eye Concentrate for Wrinkles (30mL / 1 fl.oz.) retails for $69.00.  The claim of the brand is that you will see visible results in just one week and will notice the reduction of fine lines, crows feet, dark circles and puffiness.  I have been using this product over the last four months (or more) in combination with some of my favorite skin care products and have included it in my skincare regimen.  Let me start by saying that I’ve been so happy with how long this tube of product has lasted me.  Since I concentrate the product on the outer corner of my eyes (crows feet area) and on and around the orbital bone area, I have noticed that a little of the product goes a long way and my tube has lasted me a long time.  Used in the morning and evening as part of my skin care routine, I gently pat the product using my ring finger around the eye area.

The cream is light weight and cream-like in texture.  When applied I noticed instantly that the area around my eye seemed much more hydrated and bright.  While I don’t really have much wrinkles, I do have fine lines and I notice that they are not as prominent as they had been.  I don’t suffer from under-eye circles or puffiness, so I didn’t notice much of a difference there, but I do notice that my eye area looks much more bright then before and my eyes look awake.

I use a lot of different skin care products in combination with those that I test out and those that I purchase and love.  I have been enjoying this product because I love how awake and how moisturized my eye area looks and feels.  Since I have naturally dry skin, many times an eye cream doesn’t provide the hydration I need from it, but I did notice that this definitely provided great moisture to my eye area.  It doesn’t provide immediate tightening of the skin near my eyes so I don’t use it specifically for that reason… but do use it to hydrate the eye area since it works so well in doing so.  Not only does it provide intense hydration for my eyes, but it doesn’t leave my eye area greasy which is a huge plus.  Using makeup after applying this product is not a challenge as others have been for me in the past.

THE SCIENCE (as stated from StriVectin)

This lightweight moisturizing formula is proven to visibly reduce the look of all types of lines around the eyes, including crow’s feet, squint lines and deep-set wrinkles – starting in just one week. Next generation ocular skin technology powerfully addresses the appearance of under-eye dark circles and puffiness to illuminate and awaken. Patented NIA-114™ technology helps strengthen delicate eye area skin and diminish dehydration.
Optical diffusers reflect light to immediately brighten dark shadows and help alleviate visible signs of screen fatigue.

“After using the cream for about 3 months, I have noticed my crows feet are not as prominent and my eyes look more hydrated and supple.” – Honey

  • Visibly reduces the look of all types of lines in the eye area
  • Alleviates the appearance of under-eye circles and puffiness

This eye concentrate is a bit on the pricey side, but I think it really is a good price considered how long it has lasted me with daily use.  Of course, with anything I use – it may be a different situation with anyone else, so I may be using a lot less than someone else and therefore it may only last 30 days for someone who uses more.  Overall – it’s a product I do enjoy and have been using daily for the last several months.  Whether or not I’ll continue to purchase it like the StriVectin Multi-Action Restorative Cream, I’m not sure, but so far I’ve enjoyed this product and like what it has done for my eyes.

What about you?  Is this something you would be interested in trying and if so, what would you like this product to help reduce on your end?

Oh Em Gee!  I have absolutely been swooning over the FarmHouse Fresh Citrus Cilantro Body Oil and I just had to share my thoughts on it with all of you.  Today I’m gonna share with you a little info on this product I’ve been using over the last couple of weeks.  I’ve been loving the products I’ve tried from FarmHouse Fresh so far and this body oil is no exception… so let’s share, shall we?

FarmHouse Fresh, FarmHouse Fresh Citrus Cilantro Body Oil, body oil, cilantro body oil, oil, moisturizer, moisture, nourishment, body, skin care,

The FarmHouse Fresh Citrus Cilantro Body Oil (4 fl. oz / 118 mL) retails for $18.00 and is 96% natural, vegan and gluten free.  I’ll be honest, I didn’t think I would enjoy this fragrance because I’m not a fan of the “cut-grass” scent, but I was completely amazed by how much I have been enjoying this body oil.  Just a note – I can’t wait to try out a few other scents in this body oil form.  The body oil has a refreshing scent and reminds me of an earthy fragrance like fresh cut herbs.  This is the perfect after-shower delight, and leaves my skin feeling soft, silky and soothing.  It’s antioxidant rich with Olive fruit and Grapeseed oils with a combination of orange peel, Jojoba, Sunflower Seed and Apricot Kernel oils that will help nourish and calm the most sensitive of skin types.

FarmHouse Fresh, FarmHouse Fresh Citrus Cilantro Body Oil, body oil, cilantro body oil, oil, moisturizer, moisture, nourishment, body, skin care,

The FarmHouse Fresh Citrus Cilantro Oil can be used in your bath water or you can apply it directly to your skin as a light but deeply hydrating body oil.  I prefer to apply it directly to my skin because I have dry skin and find that I can concentrate it best in the areas that need it most.  The Citrus Cilantro oil imparts wonderful benefits to the skin and help to diminish the damaging effects of sun, enhance the synthesis of healthy collagen and elastin and improve the skin’s texture.  The scent is quite intoxicating and I love that it is can be unisex so my husband can use it as well.

My favorite way to use this body oil is to apply to the dry areas on my body like my hands, feet, arms and legs or any other rough or dry spots.  It leaves my skin feeling wonderful after applied and I especially love how my skin glistens.  Since the summer months mean a lot of sun and a little bit of skin, I love the shine this oil gives my skin… it’s wonderful.

Now, if you don’t use oils on your skin (what are you waiting for???), this product may seem a bit odd to you.  But once you try oils, it will be hard to use anything else.  I love that this oil soaks into my skin and leaves it feeling so soft and hydrated.  I have naturally dry skin that’s Eczema prone and I use oils for cleansing and moisturizing on a daily.  But, I love an oil that does all of that and leaves you smelling so fragrant and looking fab.  This product includes some of my favorite oils to keep my skin looking and feeling it’s best.

I love sweet scents and it’s kind of become my signature scent over the years, but I was pleasantly amazed at how much this scent won me over.  One of my favorite fragrances to use is Malin + Goetz Dark Rum EDT and I absolutely love how the Citrus Cilantro Body Oil pairs and layers with that particular scent.  It’s wonderful.

FarmHouse Fresh has won my heart over once again with a scent and product that has captured all the things I enjoy in a body oil or in a skin care product.  I can’t wait to pick up the other products I have on my list and try out more of their body oils soon.  If you are looking for something luxurious that will offer your body some extra pampering why heightening your senses whether it be for the summer months or year round, I definitely suggest checking this product out.  When I use the FarmHouse Fresh Citrus Cilantro Oil I feel like I’m at my own personal spa and I love it!

It’s no secret that I’m a huge water drinker… but as much as I love water, I’m not a fan of it warm or hot unless it’s in coffee or tea.  Years ago my husband and I started carrying our water bottles with us everywhere, but because your typical plastic bottle usually contains some form of BPA, they were not able to be left in the car while shopping and they would get really hot from the sun.  Who wants to drink hot water to rehydrate themselves?  Certainly not me!  Over the last year, my husband and I have invested in the Hydro Flask and it is now a household name.  It is the #1 staple in our house and since all of our boys play sports and my husband and I are avid walkers, we enjoy our bottles.  Today I share with you how I keep cool this summer and why I think this is such an essential item to have.

You’ve seen it featured in my Thirsty Thursday videos time and time again.  The Hydro Flask has been my number one drinking companion since I first started using it a year ago.  It goes where you go, whether out and about or working out, it will keep your drink ice cold or piping hot for hours.  I am sharing with you the 40 oz bottle but they come in a variety of sizes.  The Hydro Flask is an award-winning global leader in high performance, insulated stainless steel flasks.  They were founded in 2009 in beautiful Bend, Oregon and the company’s mission is to save the world from lukewarm.

water, hydrate, hydro flask, flask, stainless steel, water bottle, water storage, hydroflask, hydro, tumbler, review, lifestyle,

Hydro Flask uses the highest quality 18/8 stainless steel and the Hydro Flask food and beverage flasks are stylish while still offering all the necessities like BPA-free, recyclable and backed by a lifetime warranty.  Hydro Flask believes strongly that great flasks and great causes go hand-in-hand.  Because of this, through its charitable arm 5% back, consumers can allocate a portion of the net profit of their purchase to a charity they choose.  (Learn more about Hydro Flask’s charitable giving here).

Hydro Flask offers a variety of different products that include:

  • Bottles (Ranging from 12 oz to 40 oz)
  • Beer Growlers (64 oz and 32 oz)
  • True Pint (16 oz beer pint)
  • Coffee (12 oz, 16 oz & 20 oz coffee flasks)
  • Food (12 oz and 18 oz food flasks)

water, hydrate, hydro flask, flask, stainless steel, water bottle, water storage, hydroflask, hydro, tumbler, review, lifestyle,

My family and I are huge supporters of the Hydro Flask brand.  Each person in my family owns a 40 oz. bottle.  While each one is an investment (depending on where you buy them they can retail for about $40 for a 40 oz. flask), they are well worth the cost.  During Sports, my sons need to hydrate and keep cool, especially in the warm weather that you get here in Hawaii.

Hydro Flask has Universal Benefits that are great for daily use as well as for anyone:

  • TempShieldTM Protected
  • Keeps hot up to 6 hours
  • Keeps cold up to 24 hours
  • 18/8 Pro Grade Stainless Steel
  • BPA-Free and Phalate-Free
  • Durable, sweat-free powder coat finish
  • Lifetime Warranty

Hydro Flask is known for their Temperature, Taste and Transport.  (temperature) TempShield is used in 100% of Hydro Flask products, which is a unique double wall insulation that protects temperature for up to 24 hours cold and 6 hours hot.  (taste) The 18/8 pro-grade stainless steel won’t retain or transfer flavors, ensuring the pure taste of your beverage. (transport) Proprietary powder coat offers an easy-grip, sweat-free and extra-durable bottle that you can take anywhere.

Unlike other stainless steel bottles my family and I have had in the past, the Hydro Flask bottle is sturdy.  Other bottles have dented quite easily but these have retained its shape for quite a bit.  Of course, if it drops on a hard surface, it can get dinged, but overall it has lasted us quite some time.  I have had my original flask for over a year with minimal damage to it.

water, hydrate, hydro flask, flask, stainless steel, water bottle, water storage, hydroflask, hydro, tumbler, review, lifestyle,

I love that Hydro Flask offers a variety of different accessories for your flask.  A Wide Mouth Straw attachment is a favorite of ours and it allows us to carry our water with ice in it all day.  What is so awesome is that even on a hot day, with my bottle in the car, my flask is still ice cold and most of the time my ice is still wiggling around inside the flask.  The bottle never sweats which makes it perfect to store anywhere without worrying that it will ruin any of my electronics or furnishings and I love how convenient it is to take with us on the go.

When it comes to staying cool and hydrated this summer or anytime of the year, I know I can rely on my Hydro Flask to keep me cool.  It’s the best summer necessity to have and an essential in my book.  We are completely hooked – my husband takes his to work daily and the boys take theirs to school and practice.  It’s definitely something I think you should check out.

It’s an investment for a water bottle – but many times in the past I have left my flask in the sun while out at the beach or in the car and the ice is still there and my water is still very cold hours later.  There are not too many of those types of stainless steel bottles on the market today that can offer you that kind of awesomeness.  Who wants to drink warm water anyway, if not for coffee or tea? lol

I can’t believe the boys are heading back to school in a week or so.  It seems like their summer months completely flew by and we didn’t get as much play time as we would like.  But, as we prep for back to school, I’m reminded to share with you a product that has been essential for my son as a teenager.  Do you have kids that play sports?  If so, a good bag or duffel that can take them from school to sports is important.  Our Kevin finished up his Basketball season a month ago and carried with him a duffel from Lewis N. Clark.  And, as we prep him and the twins for a season of Pop Warner Football, my eldest is ready to take his duffel bag with him.

lewis n clark, lewis n. clark, duffel bag, bag, sports, sports bag, travel, duffel, bag, outdoor, sports, sports gear, review,

When it comes to carrying your sports gear, you really need something that is durable and that can withstand any heavy gear as well as daily use.  Over the years my son has gone through a variety of different bags and usually at season end, he’s retiring one and we need to pick up another for his next sport that starts shortly after.  Kevin has been using the Lewis N. Clark duffel as his daily bag, taking his basketball gear with him and then even took it with him when he was off to camp at the beginning of July.  It’s held up well and still looks like it’s brand new.  For a teenager that tosses his things when he’s on the go – I was amazed that it lasted as well as it did and how great it looks after months of heavy use.

Now that Kevin’s off to football season, this Lewis N. Clark duffel bag will be carrying his football gear – helmet, pads, cleats and extra clothes.  He’s excited to be able to use a bag that he likes through football season because it was so durable it held up all through basketball season and summer camp.  I will definitely come back & update the wear and tear on the duffel bag once it makes it’s way through football season.

lewis n clark, lewis n. clark, duffel bag, bag, sports, sports bag, travel, duffel, bag, outdoor, sports, sports gear, review,

This Lewis N. Clark Duffel Bag retails for $56.49.  It’s dimensions are 18 in. x 36 in. x 18 in. and this duffel fits A LOT of stuff.  My son packed a week’s worth of clothes, towels and gear for summer camp and was able to fit it all inside the bag.  This bag features multiple interior and exterior pockets which make it great for separating items and storage.  It has a padded shoulder strap, which my son LOVES because his gear can often be so heavy, that it really helps and aids in him carrying it.  He did mention that he wished the straps could be adjusted a little more than it current can, because it’s still a little long for him at its shortest length – but it was still doable and able to be used.

You get carry handles with hook and loop fasteners to give you options on carrying your bag and the shoulder strap is detachable in case you want to just use the traditional side grab handles to hold your bag.  The grab handles are padded which make it comfortable to hold.  The inner zippered pocket allows you to also carry your essentials out of site to help with storage but also deter theft since it’s out of sight, out of mind.

lewis n clark, lewis n. clark, duffel bag, bag, sports, sports bag, travel, duffel, bag, outdoor, sports, sports gear, review,

The zippers are heavy duty nylon and have lasted through stuffing this bag and daily use.  But, what I love the most about this is that it has the ability to be folded down into a small square and packed away easily while it’s not in use.  The storage pouch that holds the bag when it’s folded doubles as an inner pocket as well.  The bag is constructed of weatherproof 900D polyester which makes it a great companion for holding your hiking gear or for outdoor activities like rafting down a river or skiiing in the mountains.

lewis n clark, lewis n. clark, duffel bag, bag, sports, sports bag, travel, duffel, bag, outdoor, sports, sports gear, review,

If you are an outdoor lover, enjoy traveling or just want a new duffel bag to have in your life, I highly suggest this one.  If any bag can take the beating my sons dish out to it and still look like it’s brand new – I think it deserves an award all on its own.  This bag is awesome and I know it comes in other sizes as well.  Considering the price point and the quality you are getting, it can’t be beat.  My sons are active boys and keep busy and they need products that can withstand the abuse they will put them through.  After having this bag for 6 months and using it daily, I have noticed how well it has held up and I like it.  I’ll be picking up two more so the twins can each have their own as well.

Have you tried anything from Lewis N. Clark before?  This is one of several different products that we have had the opportunity to try out and have enjoyed it.  You can check out what Lewis N. Clark has to offer on their website: http://lewisnclark.com/

I don’t use a lot of makeup during the summer time and lately I have found that I have really been enjoying a simple look – mascara and lip balm.  But, after getting my hands on the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette, I’ve really been enjoying working with it and creating looks.  Contrary to how it looks, this palette is much more than a pink toned palette like it seems.  I’ve been loving the combination of warm tones to create showstopping looks.  Today I share with you a look I created using mainly this palette with a little pop of color on my lower lash line with ColourPop’s Flower Shop (from their Spring / Summer collection).  I’ll be sharing this look with you as well as swatches of the palette and more.  Be sure to click on the video if you want to chit chat with me and watch me GRWM when I create this look.

Let’s chit chat about this palette first before we get into the whole makeup look, shall we?  The Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette retails for $42.00 and includes 14 beautiful shades appropriate for any time of year.  This palette also includes a duo-ended brush to help create those stunning looks.

I purchased this palette with a little help via an online site called Octer.com.  Octer is a cool platform to help with online shopping, making it possible and easy to shop no matter the device you use – whether you’re browsing on your smartphone, tablet or desktop.  Octer lists the biggest US stores and 8,000 brands across all verticals and fashion from everyone like Topshop, ASOS, Farfetch and Net-A-Porter.  Octer has been live since November and has a feature which helps consumers find the right product at the right price.  It’s easy to use and as simple as searching your favorite type of product – housewares, clothes, accessories, makeup and more.

The Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette is an essential eye shadow collection that includes a variety of neutral and berry tones.  It’s the first permanent palette in the ABH line – which I love, since so many of the palettes I own from her were Limited Editions.  This palette includes gorgeously pigmented shades that offer you the opportunity to create endless looks for daytime and evening.  I am absolutely in love with the pigmentation of each color even if some of them did kick up a bit of dust and a little bit of fall out it’s a beautifully pigmented palette.  At first glance, this eye shadow palette looks like it would be too berry or too pink to create many looks, but I have found that I’ve been able to create a variety of looks with the shades.

The palette has faux suede packaging that make it feel really nice and soft and so far it has been easy to clean.  I love that each name is listed under the individual shades – which is always a great thing in any eye shadow palette.  The magnetic closure seals the palette up tightly, but not too tight as to make it difficult to open and close.  The mirror is a good size and this palette really offers a variety of shades for your money and make it a good travel palette.  I’m impressed overall with this palette, the packaging and the shades.

To create my look I used the neutral tones in the Modern Renaissance Palette to create the base of my makeup look.  For the pop of color, I decided that I would use Flower Shop from ColourPop as a little pop of color on the lower lash line.  Of course, you could totally utilize one of the berry shades in it’s place to really make the look pop.
