Vitamin C serum Hyaluronic Acid are a must in my skincare routine whether it be for day or night. Since entering my 30’s I have been trying to utilize skincare products that will be great for Anti-Aging but that also provide my very dry and sensitive skin extra moisture so I’m always happy to try new brands. Petunia Skincare offers an Advanced Formula and Highly Concentrated Vitamin C + E Hyaluronic Acid Ferulic Acid Serum that is reasonably priced (about $25.00) for a total of 1 fl oz of product.
I have been using this serum now for about a month and like all Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Serums, this one has definitely become a favorite. Affordable, easy to use, includes a dropper for easy application and has a light scent of citrus – I’m definitely enjoying this product.
Directions:
Clean face. If using toner, apply before serum. Apply a thin layer onto the face until fully absorbed. Allow to dry then follow with moisturizer and sunscreen.

After using this serum for just a couple of weeks, I noticed that my skin feels softer, moisturized and my skin looks brighter. I love that while my pores are not necessarily large, it definitely did make my pores look smaller – or they shrunk them. lol Like I mentioned before, application is very easy. The serum comes with a dropper in the bottle so you squeeze out the required amount and apply to your face. I let it dry or make sure it is fully absorbed before I apply the rest of my skincare products (which is pretty fast).
The serum is light weight and while it may feel a little sticky at first touch, once it applies and it soaks into the skin, it no longer has that sticky feel – which I love. The serum is like most I’ve used on the market – it feels more like a liquid then a gel and the texture nice. The product squeezes out easily from the dropper and application is a breeze. I like the soft citrus scent – it is very soft which allows me to use the product at night as well… strong citrus scents are too fragrant for me to use at night, but this is not as such.
I have noticed that some of my fine lines have decreased quite a bit and again, my moisture level on my skin is great.
Overall – while I have used quite a few different Vitamin C Hyaluronic Serums, I really am impressed with this one. It’s affordable, feels great on the skin and I have noticed visible changes to my skin since I began using it. I definitely suggest checking it out and seeing if this is a product for you.

Let’s face it, I’m no Kylie Jenner and certainly not even close in age, but like many – I’m definitely taken by the soft makeup looks this young beauty has been rocking lately. Like her half sisters, Kylie is moving mountains and developing her own signature look. I’m not gonna lie, I’m a huge fan of KUWTKs and try to watch as much as time permits – though I will admit that I think I’m certainly entranced by the makeup looks the girls rock out more than anything. I wanted to create a makeup look that was inspired by young Kylie but that offered a sultry but wearable look for women like myself. I did my best to also recreate Kylie’s signature lip, utilizing one of the shades she’s been rocking out lately.
This photo is from Kylie’s Instagram Page – I embedded the link into my post so you could see the image I had for inspiration.

I love that when it comes to art, inspiration can be found in countless things. Like I mentioned previously, while I am in no way a Kylie Jenner “twin” I definitely wanted to use her makeup as inspiration to create my look. I hope you all enjoyed this makeup look and for those of you that are around my age… I think this would be a great look for you to use day or night. Smooches.
Aches and pains come in a wide variety for many people… and in our family – my husband and I suffer from inflammation and injuries that cause uncomfortable daily pain. Supplements and healthy eating eating help us with pain control so that pain medicines – especially narcotics are not needed as often.
About 3 years ago my husband was diagnosed with a Perforated disk between the L4 and L5 region in his spine, that leaks spinal fluid and irritates the nerve causing inflammation. Now, this diagnoses came after a few years of suffering without knowing the cause. Pain medication, anti-inflammatory medicine and even Cortisone shots are all provided to him to assist with pain management and while they may take the edge off sometimes (not all the time), my husband literally lives day in and day out in constant pain. We are very selective in our physical activities in that one wrong move could cripple him and doctors do not want to operate since he is so young and having to redo the surgery several times through out the rest of his live will be inevitable once the surgery is performed. I have minor injuries – all of which are a challenge to work with, but compared to my husband – not nearly as bad.
While we live daily with our aches and pains, we both do our best to increase the quality of our life by including healthy eating, exercise and of course supplements to increase mobility as well as decrease our pain levels. Since pain medicine is not something we enjoy taking or the side effects it gives to both of us, we try not to take them as much as possible. I have been reading about Turmeric and the benefits it offered so my husband and I were very excited to try this supplement out and see how it worked for both of us. Honestly, the benefits of Turmeric are quite plentiful so we were excited to see and feel what it could do for us. Even if it didn’t help tremendously with our normal pains, since both my husband and I are experience signs of Arthritis, we were in hopes to see some relief there.

Why is Nutraviva’s Turmeric Supplement the Premium Choice?
The major problem with turmeric is that the active component ‘Curcumin’ does not disolve very well and the efficiency of transporting it into the body’s cells is compromised. However Nutraviva’s premium Turmeric overcomes this problem as its a patented blend of Curcumin C3 Complex with Bioperine, which is proven to increase the bioavailability and absorption of Curcumin, making it much more effective than standard Turmeric supplements. We are not simply selling Turmeric extract like many other brands, but instead a premium Turmeric Curcumin C3 Complex with Bioperine!

I’m not gonna lie, the pills are kind of larger than I had expected and it freaked me out quite a bit. I love the fact that when you do take them however, that they do not have any funky after taste or any taste at all – major bonus. Keep in mind though, that because they are so large, make sure you swallow it with a lot of water so it goes down easily. After taking the pill just two days – my husband and I both noticed that while still achy and sore, our inflammation was tolerable. MAJOR BONUS! After a month of using the product while we still have pain and inflammation, we definitely noticed the difference in our mobility and how we felt. It’s hard to explain because we still experience pain, but you can tell a difference in how our body reacts to certain things and how we feel. Mind you – this is not a cure all, pain be gone type of pill but a supplement to help with ease of pain as well as other benefits.
After reading about Turmeric, some of the benefits include: Ease of Arthritic Pain, Bad Cholesterol, Inflammation, Blood Sugar Imbalances, Promotes Heart Health, Aids in Digestion, Helps prevent the early manifestation of Parkinson’s Disease, slows or delays Liver damage, slows or helps reverse Alzheimer’s Disease, Insulin Resistance, helps heal inflammatory bowl disease. This list is a small one compared to what I have been reading about Turmeric. While I’m not a doctor, it’s been nice to find different articles and first hand reviews on the product itself.
Like I mentioned earlier, this is not necessarily a cure all – or at least not yet or not for us as of yet… but it has helped to make pain a little more bearable by easing a lot of our inflammation. Yes – my husband and I still experience a ton of pain but it’s nice to know there are supplements out there along with those we already take that help with the issue instead of masking it like pain medicine does or dulling it. It truly feels like its combating our pain issues to make our quality of life better. Overall – if you experience some of these issues – while I’m not doctor, I suggest talking to your Physician to see if this may be something you can add to your daily vitamin intake, maybe it will work for you. I know my husband and I will continue to have Turmeric – more specifically Nutraviva’s Turmeric Curcumin supplement as a part of our daily supplement regimen.
