Botox or No-Tox?

by brandiann December 19, 2021

To quote the great Williams Shakespeare: “To be, or not to be: That is the question. “ Lately, I have been wanting to take the leap and try out Botox.

I try to live a toxic-free lifestyle, and this would go completely against that belief if I decided to inject myself with Botox (or Botulium Toxin). When you look up “Botox,” you read things like “Botox is a drug made from a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It’s the same toxin that causes a life-threatening type of food poisoning called botulism.” (from medlineplus.gov)

Reading the words “life-threatening” makes me, oh I don’t know, slightly hesitant about going under the needle. Yes – I know it’s such a small amount, but it’s still pretty terrifying. At least for me, it is.

I am officially in my late 30s. I recently celebrated my 36th birthday and as I scan my face I am definitely noticing some fine lines. Lines that used to never be there before. Yet here they are.

Adore Cosmetics | Icon Edition Beauty Drops Concentrate Night Treatment Review

by brandiann February 12, 2020

Skin-care Routine Is So Important.

Do you have a solid skin regimen? If you don’t, you should consider adding it to your daily routine. With damaging factors like stress, wind, sun damage and debris, your skin’s epidermal layer is impacted by these harmful sources. You can help the natural rejuvenation of your skin at night by upping your skin-care routine, so it’s more durable. A great morning and night-time routine that focuses on repair and hydration can keep your complexion clear and your skin firm.

I was recently gifted the Icon Edition Beauty Drops Concentrate Night Treatment by Adore Cosmetics. I’ve been using these drops before applying my daily cream and I have noticed a more youthful looking and an overall moisturized-rich complexion!

Beauty Drops Concentrate is a rich night treatment that aids in smoothing the appearance of wrinkles, dull patches and blemishes. The two main ingredients, Rose Fruit Oil and Plant Stem Cells, are both packed with vitamins and essential fatty acids. These ingredients work to soften the look of lines and improve the appearance of uneven skin tone due to sun exposure.

Rejuva Minerals : Custom Makeup Kit Review

by brandiann September 11, 2019

A little makeup goes a long way

Nothing makes me feel more beautiful than when I’m wearing a new rosy blush or defining mascara. Hello lashes! Have you ever heard of the “lipstick effect?” Until recently, I hadn’t either, but there is a psychological phenomenon where individuals experience a confidence boost, feeling more physically attractive, when wearing makeup. I think everyone could use a boost every now and then, especially stay-at-home moms, like myself.

Ever since becoming a mother, using natural products has been on my radar and my preference MO. With your skin being the largest organ on your body, I find it imperative to pay attention to what goes on my body (and inside for that matter). A company called Rejuva Minerals contacted me about trying out their custom toxin-free makeup kit. After researching that they are a chemical-free makeup brand that offers natural products, many of them organic, I couldn’t resist!

Adama Minerals ClayDry Deodorant Review

by brandiann March 16, 2019

Mothering is Tough.

I can attest to the fact that being a mother is the hardest job I’ve ever had. Wouldn’t you agree? Definitely the most rewarding job by far, but certainly very challenging and requiring much patience. There are no lunch breaks, vacations and even going to the bathroom comes with an audience.

That’s why I depend on great products to get me through the day! I recently discovered the natural clay deodorant, Adama Minerals by Zion Health, and it’s awesome! For starters it works! That’s very important as one doesn’t want to walk around smelling like a hippie! Secondly, it isn’t packed full of toxins like aluminum, parabens and synthetic fragrances, found in many deodorants.
