Here is what I have to say:

I've only used this product a couple of times so far. I have extremely sensitive skin and have to be very cautious about what kind of gels or serums or moisturizers I use. This product was cool and soothing going on. It's got a very nice clean subtle scent. It did as it said it was going to and reduced the puffiness and darkness from under my eyes and lord knows I need that!! I would recommend this product! See the photo above for a 20% off code!

Bloody Mary Mix by SalsaCrazy

I was chosen to review this product by SalsaCrazy and Amazon. Here is what Amazon has to say about this Blood Mary Mix!

• SalsaCrazy Hot and Spicy Bloody Mary Mix
• From the People that brought you the Salsa Mastery System
• Fresh, Natural, and HOT - The Perfect Bloody Mary
• No added fillers

Here is what I have to say!!

This mix is very hot, just as it says. I smelled how hot it was when I first opened the bottle.  To be totally honest this mix is way to hot for me, So I made a couple of drinks for myself and a friend and I couldn't do more than a couple of sips. But my friend absolutely loved it! She drank her glass and finished mine also! She loves spicy and hot food, the hotter the better so this was right up her alley. She said it had the perfect about of Habanaro hotness if that makes sense. She said the mix of spices was perfect and this was the best bloody mary mix she had ever had! I trust her judgement and saw the look on her face (once my eyes stopped watering), and knew she loved it!! She gives this Blood Mary Mix by SalsaCrazy 2 thumbs up!!

2.5% Retinol Moisturizer

2.5% Retinol Moisturizer

I was chosen to review this product by Amazon and Body Merry. Here is what Amazon has to say about this Moisturizer!

• MAXIMUM STRENGTH RETINOL: Body Merry's Retinol Surge Moisturizer contains 2.5% Retinol, which has time and again proven itself to be a potent youth reviving ingredient. This unique formulation is specially designed for you to be able to get the most out of this wonder ingredient, without suffering from any dryness or irritation that is typically associated with the use of Retinol.
• NATURAL + ORGANIC: The cream also contains Plant Derived Hyaluronic Acid, which nourishes and hydrates your skin. Wildcrafted Green Tea, Organic Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E, Vitamin B5 and Shea Butter add their goodness to create a formula that is potent and proven to show results.

• MANUFACTURER GUARANTEE: Body Merry's products are backed with a 90 Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If you don't like this moisturizer, just contact us and get a full refund. You don't need to return the bottle.

Here is what I say about the product:

I have very sensitive skin. I have to be so careful about what products I use on my face, especially moisturizers. This product didn't bother me at all. I had no breakouts, no redness or blotchiness, and no itching at all. That is such a thumbs up for me! The only thing that I can criticize this product for, and believe me it's a small thing, is that it's very thick and doesn't soak into your skin very fast. It looks like you have a white face for the 1st 5-10 minutes you have it on. BUT, after it totally soaks in, your skin is so soft and smooth!! There isn't much of a smell to it and my skin felt moisturized all day, no need to reapply! I've only used the product a few times so far so I haven't noticed any improvements or benefits to my skin other than it being totally moisturized.  If you want a good moisturizer with anti-aging properties I totally recommend this one!!

Somnis - Sleep Aid

Somnis - Natural Sleep Aid 

 I was chosen to review this Somnis product by Somnis and Amazon. Below is what is said on Amazon.

• Somnis Sleep Aid is a premium, safe and non-habit forming, all natural sleep aid. Sleeping Pills are becoming increasingly popular. Fall Asleep Safely & Wake Up Refreshed.

Here is what I say about the product:

I have been having problems occasionally falling asleep but most of the time I have problems staying asleep! I don't like to take more pills than are necessary because of all of the chemicals in my body. I decided to try this product because I read up on it and all the products were natural, no unnatural ingredients were used. The very first night I used the sleeping aid I went to sleep quickly and sleep all through the night! I don't take them every night but when I know I need to be awake and alert I do. I didn't wake up groggy like I do when I've taken other sleeping pills so that was definitely a plus also!! I would recommend this sleeping aid if you are needing help like I did falling asleep and staying asleep!!

Adeline Anti Aging Moisturizer Cream

I was chosen to review this item through Tomoson and Amazon.

This is what they say on Amazon about the product, my review will follow.

• 5 POWERFUL ANTI AGING INGREDIENTS IN ONE BOTTLE: Adeline's Anti-Aging Face Cream is formulated with 5 powerful ingredients that fight wrinkles and rejuvenate your skin: Matrixyl, Witch Hazel, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C & Vitamin E. The results on your skin are fantastic! You would normally have to purchase multiple creams to attain the benefits that we pack into one of our bottles. Our customers discover they don't want or need to use any other creams on their face after using our skin cream.
• SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN to double the amount of collagen needed to give the skin its elasticity. This means your wrinkles are going to fade and you will no longer be looking at celebrities and other women wondering how they look so young because you now know the secret. Start feeling more confident. Your search for the perfect anti-aging skin cream is over!
• GET YOUR TIME BACK: After washing in the morning and evening, it takes just 30 seconds to gently apply the cream to your face, neck and decollete. Skin appears radiant and more plump after use. Over time our customers experience visible improvements in the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, laugh lines, dry skin and uneven skin.

I've had the product for a couple of weeks now and I must say I'm very impressed!! I have extremely sensitive skin and this moisturizer worked great! I had no itching, my skin didn't turn red and blotchy, and I had no break outs at all. That impressed me so much! The one and only problem I had was that it was a tiny bit tacky on my skin for a very short time after applying it. After that went away my skin was so soft and smooth feeling! Also it smells amazing and the smell stayed with me for quite awhile! 
I would personally recommend this to anyone that needs a good moisturizer plus some anti-aging magic!

Weekly Planning in my Erin Condren Life Planner Feb 23 - March 1

I film and upload a video of me decorating my ECLP every Sunday. I upload it to my 'other' channel made specifically for crafting and planners!! Connie's Craftin & Plannin. Just click on the link to check the channel out if those things interest you!

I got my ECLP in July of 2014 and it's the 18 month version so it goes through December of this year. It's a bit pricey at the starting out price of $50 and can be much more expensive with all the extra's available for it. I've fallen in love with planning and really love this planner. Will I purchase this planner again? I truly haven't decided yet, I may try something new next year if it has what I want and need in it. The ECLP has so many good features such at the removable covers, many designs to choose from and they are customizable. It has monthly and weekly views which I really like. It has a day, noon and night section that is ok, not my favorite, I usually cover up those words with washi tape. It is a coiled binder and that is fine but I'd really rather be able to snap it closed and be able to pull stuff out and put stuff in easier. But with that all said, I still love the planner! So  lets get on to the planning!

I normally write down all of my homework assignments on Wednesday or Thursday of the preceding week in the top section. Then I color code them according to the colors I use for each class. Then I write down any appointments or meetings or other items that I have in the middle section. Sometimes I highlight those too. But if you notice on the picture below I made a few mistakes on the middle section and covered it with washi. The bottom section is for my work schedules. Then I used a few different stamps and ink to label a few items.

Next step is putting down the washi tape. This week's them is purple!

And lastly, I use stickers to decorate it. Don't criticize it's me being creative and it makes writing in my planner so much more enjoyable for me!!

Thanks so much for joining me here today...See you next week!!
