Tags: Kate Somerville, NuFace, Trump Soho

Find at: www.sephora.com (or Trump Soho) $45.00

Details:

A moisturizing and calming treatment that leaves skin soft and smooth. You will notice instant hydration and suppleness. The Advanced Moisture Complex, with hyaluronic acid, pulls moisture deep into skin cells, helping to soften and plump.

Use:

1-2 times per week
apply thin layer to clean, dry skin
leave on for 5-10 minutes
remove with warm water
follow with moisturizer

Bottom Line:

This is the second product recommended to me by the esthetician at the Trump Soho Spa. I use it 2x per week after using the Glycolic Polisher. Because I own and faithfully use NuFace, the esthetician told me to use Quench in place of the gel normally used with NuFace and it would enhance both treatments. The NuFace absolutely glided beautifully during the treatment and the current produced by the NuFace allowed the mask to penetrate the skin quickly and deeply as well as “lift” my face. It was wonderful!

If you all have a chance, please Google NuFace, and know that it delivers.

Back to Quench…another Kate Somerville product that I really like more and more as I continue to use it. My skin feels refreshed, hydrated and amazingly soft. It also looks beautiful.

Expensive, yes, but it works and a little goes a very long way.

Peace

When I started blogging, I mentioned that once in a while I might go in another direction and voice an opinion or two. I am now stepping onto the soap box for just a few paragraphs.

I am a non practicing Catholic and there are many reasons for this, way too many to discuss here, but Wednesday is Ash Wednesday and the Pope, who is very hard line, is resigning at the end of the month and it got me thinking about a quick conversation I had a few days ago.

I commented to someone about Wednesday being Ash Wednesday and I asked what they were doing for Lent as the tradition is to give up something that you wouldn’t want to live without. I thought that perhaps it would be a good idea to do something positive, but I was reminded that the whole idea was that you should suffer. I am 60 years young and apparently, nothing has changed in that time.

Why do we continue to crucify Christ? Wasn’t once enough? I think we should remember what He did for us and remember what He directed – love one another as I have loved you.

If you want to suffer and offer that suffering up, then you should try to love someone you don’t like or God forbid, hate. Try being kind to someone you would not give the time of day to. It is so hard to have only positive things come out of your mouth! Do it for forty days, it will be so difficult that you will suffer, but maybe we will also learn and at the end of that time perhaps we all won’t be so nasty to each other. Maybe, just maybe, we could learn that we are ALL EQUAL in the eyes of God who created us in His image and no one, not one single one of us, has the right to judge another person.

If we are busy trying to do what Jesus would do in our own lives, we couldn’t possibly have time to try to control someone else’s life. It is so difficult, but we have to keep trying and I invite you to join me. If we all give it our best shot everyday who knows what could happen, right?

Smileactives Teeth Whitening Pens

Filed under: Beauty — moonstruckinjersey @ 5:48 PM

I am reposting this because I want to tell you about a fabulous Valentine Offer from Smileactives.com.

Smileactives is offering FOUR pens for 29.95 and free shipping – this is an $80.00 value and great gifts for individuals and couples. I hope that you all will check it out and take advantage of this great buy.

I first posted this last August……….and I still love and use these pens. So simple and they work. Try them!

Every once in a while I find a product that makes me want to smile! Smileactives Teeth Whitening Pen Duo does just that.

We all want white teeth and for heavy duty whitening you might want to see your dentist for custom made trays, but for an effective and convenient way to whiten, this pen is the way to go.

“ Some participants in the clinical trial saw results in as little as two days. Full results will take longer depending on the type of teeth staining you have. In a clinical trial, after just three weeks of use, the pen whitened teeth an average of five shades, with some participants seeing up to 10 shades of whitening.”

The gel dries onto the teeth so there is not need for strips or trays. Each pen lasts about 3 weeks when used twice daily. Nothing else required.

To use the pen: take of the cap and twist the opposite end until a drop of gel is visible, with a brand new pen, it will take several twists to see the gel. Apply a thin layer of gel on the upper and lower teeth and allow to dry for a few seconds. Recap the pen and you are done.

Do not eat or drink anything for at least 20 minutes.

I have been using Smileactives for the last 6 months and I love, love, love the system! Did I mention I love this pen?

I saw results using twice a day in just two days; so, I started using it the max of 4 times per day for the first pen only. This got me exactly where I wanted to be. I now use two pens approximately per month at 2 times daily and I love how my teeth look – white, but natural, which is exactly what I was looking for. Also, I had no sensitivity, which was always a problem for me with the OTC strips.

Another plus for me was that I could speak, which is almost impossible with whitening strips, so you absolutely can use the pen at your convenience and no one knows.

Love, love, love!

I hope you will too!

Peace
