NuBrilliance Real Microdermabrasion at home UPDATE

Hi Some of my readers are asking me to do an update on how things are going with the NuBrilliance I have been using. I really have to say this is the best tool I have ever used for Microdermabrasion. I love everything about it and its really working out well for me.

Lately I have been using it and than putting on a really rich hydrating masque. I found this to be an awesome combo and my skin is soft and smooth.

What I am really loving, is how much of my pigmentation problems have faded and my pores are smaller. One of the very best things is my lip line is noticeably more defined . I use the smallest tool head to go around my lip line making it plumper. It Is also getting rid of those feather lines can can mess up lipstick in women my age. All In all it makes all my other skincare products absorb so much better.

Just In case you missed seeing the original review I have included it it this post, along with my video how to:) thanks for looking

I was so Unbelievably blessed to be able to try a sample of the NuBrilliance
Real Microdermabrasion at home tool recently and I have to say its the most innovative and easy to use Microdermabrasion I have ever used. I was so impressed by it I did a how to video review on all the many features this product has to offer anyone interested in skincare and anti aging.

First I would like to Thank the People at NuBrilliance
for sending me the unit to try:)

So what is Nubrilliance
you may be asking. NuBrilliance is a very innovative skincare tool that uses diamond tipped exfoliating discs to provide you with Superior Microdermabrasion . Its vacuum action whisks away the dead skin, that the diamond tips will loosen as you use the product. Dead skin particles are removed and vacuumed away.

The first thing I noticed about the NuBrilliance was its ease of use and its quite performance. Being a vacuum product I thought it would be really loud but its not, its very discrete so you can use it with out worry. Each different diamond tip snaps into the vacuum wand and is ready to use right away.

I really loved that you start the process with a clean dry face, there are no messy crystals or water going everywhere while using the NuBrilliance. You start and finish with a dry clean face.

As you know I'm really big on exfoliating the skin and have use different product to help me do this but the NuBrilliance is the cleanest and easiest one to use.

Because of its Vacuum action you will be doing more than just exfoliating the skin, you will be encouraging it to produce Collagen which will add a support structure to aging skin.

In the NuBrilliance kit you get a bunch of filters so the skin that's vacuumed off your face will be caught in the disposable filter. You get 3 diamond tips. One larger oval for the broader parts of the face, one precision round tip for hard to get into places and one courser tip for the body. Yes this product can be used to exfoliate the body as well as the face!

The NuBrilliance unit has different vacuum settings so you will start out on setting one and move up as your face and body gets use to the process. The unit is electric and plugs into the outlet in the bathroom or where every you want to perform your treatment.

Many of you have seen these kinds of facial exfoliating devices at spas and the cost of just one treatment is very high. Imagine being able to do your own professional microdermabrasion at home, in comfort, whenever you want to, no appointment necessary.

Anyone can use the NuBrilliance, its so easy and so clean. It also comes with a how to DVD and a booklet so you will have no problems getting started as I did.

I have seen such an improvement in my skin from using the NuBrilliance. you can tell its working because after your first treatment your skin my be a little pink but that fades after about 20min or less depending on how much exfoliating you have done in the past. I am on setting 2, I find that to be comfortable for me yet also providing me with that pink glow so I know its working. Once you finish you just apply your normal skin care cream and its all done. I use the NuBrilliance 2 times a week.

watching the DVD you will learn how to use the NuBrilliance effectively and also when you should not use it for those days you have used a hair remover or had a peal or some other condition like a bad sunburn those would be the days you would want your skin to rest and forgo microdermabrasion.

As I said, I did a how to video for NuBrilliance. I show you how to use it effectively and its many features. The videos sound may need to be turned up a bit as my camera is particular and sometime the volume is lower. Also toward the end of the video even my Camera was sick of hearing me talk and it tried to fall over so I had to fix it its kinda funny seeing the look on my face when it did that LOL . I did try to cover everything you would need to know to make an informed decision about NuBrilliance
.

Here is the video review I did for this awesome product I hope you have a look at it, it will explain a lot.

before you go Please have a look at the website for the product, as price's and any deals can be found there. So for ease of use and superior exfoliating this product cant be beat and I really love it! Thank you so much for reading my review if you have any questions about it please let me know and I will be happy to help you . Nubrilliance

Update on The Flex Belt I have been using

Hi I have been getting comments to update everyone on how everything is going with my Flex Belt usage. I have been using it about 5 times a week for about 20 days now I am up to a level 5 and a setting of 90. I am feeling that my abdominal muscles are tightening up nicely and my stomach does not protrude as much as it did before.

I am also doing my other normal exercises with this too and really trying to keep to a diet. So far I am really seeing the results that I expected from using the Flex Belt for this amount of time. I am going to keep using it regularly like always but I'm going to have to go a buy some of the gel pads soon. I understand from the instructions that you will need to buy new pads about once a month, depending on how much you use it.

I have since found these on amazon for an OK deal if you can buy enough stuff to get the super saver shipping. I found one set for 8.99 but i have seen sets as high as 15.99. Needless to say I sure wish they lasted longer.

Anyway for this update I'm also including my original review and video just in case you missed the post. Thanks for looking at my update and be sure and ask any questions you have in the comments :)

I was so very happy to be able to try the The Flex Belt
recently,I cant tell you how much I love this product. As most of you know I'm going through menopause and am always looking for things to help overcome some of the really nasty changes I have going on. One of these is weight gain regardless of diet.

I have been seeing over the last year the area around my belly getting bigger and bigger. I am getting that rounded torso area look so common to women over 50. I am going to be 52 in about 10 days. I really wanted to do something about this problem, but I cant do to many crunches any more because I have a touch of sciatica that makes these movements uncomfortable. Because of this I just do not have the discipline to do crunches. I do exercises for arms and legs, but sit ups and crunches are difficult.

I learned about The Flex Belt
through online reviews and really wanted to see if it could help me.

Here is what I found out. At first I thought it would be painful to use, Wow was I ever wrong I actually really like the feel of it working, For me its like getting a belly massage. I love the way its rechargeable so you are not always buying batteries and that its so easy to use and get accustomed to.The Flex Belt
fits around your waste and has a lot of different program you can use with different setting intensitys.

I read all the instructions and found I can have it on a higher setting and still be very comfortable.

The Flex Belt
uses electric muscle stimulation with perfect abdominal contraction up to 150 per session. I am up to 70. I love the way The Flex Belt
was so easy to use. You just follow the instructions for applying the gel pads, put it on and that turn it on. You than want to set the program you want to use, and gradually increase the intensity of the stimulation that cause the mussels to contract, over the course of the program time. For me this feels nice, I do not experience any pain or discomfort with it. I look forward to using it. I am up to program 3 at 70 strength. After the session I store it away and I have never experienced any discomfort after the sessions either.

I can tell The Flex Belt
is really doing its job and I am on my way to a flatter abdominal area. I know a lot of you have been thinking about this product and have probably see the TV ads. If you are worried about pain while using it I can tell you from my experience its not that way at all. Although everyone had different ideas of what is uncomfortable I think with the many setting the product has you will be able to find an intensity that comfortable for you. I actually think it feels much like one of those expensive back massagers that sort of Hum. You can really feel the muscles contract but its not an uncomfortable feeling.

To put it bluntly I'm sort of a pain wimp and before using The Flex Belt
I thought OK here is goes get ready, I was so surprised to find the default intensity settings was so mild that I just felt a slight tickle. In No Time I was adjusting the unit to 70 and on program 3.

some features I love are - The unit will shut its self off when the session is finished, depending on the program you choose it runs from 20 to 40 mins. its easy to increase the intensity as you progress through the session buy using the buttons on the controller and you can also decrease it if you have went up to far, its so very easy.

I did a special video review for the Flex Belt and I hope you have a look so I can show you the products many features . I thank you for looking at my review and I hope I answered some questions you may have about it. If you need me to answer anything else just email me thanks for reading and looking at my video review for The Flex Belt
:)You can get more info here for ordering and testimonials.Also here are some other links you can visit. The Flex Belt

Skillet Pumpkin Sauce review Very Tasty

I was able to review this Skillet Pumpkin Sauce in the chipotle flavor recently and I really like it what i did was try it out with sweet potato fries and boy is is good. I found that the Skillet Pumpkin Sauce in the chipotle really complimented the flavor of the sweet potato fries very well and gave it a gourmet flavor to a common side.

These unique ketchup sauces come in a number of flavors , they are Thai Coconut, Chipotle, Apple Vinegar Brown Sugar. Skillet Pumpkin Sauce is the newest addition to the Skillet line. These pumpkin ketchups have all the same condiment appeal as regular ketchup but with a unique flavor and a great nutritional profile that comes from the naturally occurring vitamins and minerals in pumpkin.

I really like them because they are unique and provide you with a very different but tasty condiment to go with just about any food. I would highly recommend buying some of these for summer BBQs and get together's. You guests will be raving about them and asking where you came across such a Delicious tasking Ketchup.

so please have a look at this link for info and how to order and you can also email the company here Skillet Pumpkin sause
eat@skilletstreetfood.com I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Brahmin Medium Arno Tote Review and Spring 2012 collection

Yesterday was a really Happy Happy day for me. I had been waiting for my surprise gift to arrive from the Vogue Influencer network for about 3 weeks. I had no idea what I would be getting and was really looking forward to being surprised. Well yesterday at 9pm in the evening UPS brought my Gift.

I was so surprised to see that I had been gifted one of the new Brahmin Medium Arno totes in black glossy for my very own! Talk about a really wonderful and thoughtful gift. I really love everything about it. The color is just right for me since it will go with a lot of my darker outfits.

Some of the bags features I love, are its full zipper closure so everything inside the bag is very secure. It has a generous outside pocket for ready access to items needed in a hurry. This outside pocket is big enough to fit just about any size PDA or larger cell phone and its deep enough to keep this secure.

Inside there are many pockets and not one but 2 zipper pockets one large and one small. there is an attached key chain and 2 slider pockets for things like sunglasses or Ipod or anything you might need handy.I am storing my eyeglass case in one for my sunglasses and in the other some lipsticks,glosses and a mirror.

As you can see from the photo its very roomy inside for all my other things yet its lighter weight than most Brahmin totes and more compact.

I am so in love with it and so thankful I was selected to get one its really made my month and since my birthday was on the 15th it made for an awesome birthday gift.

I also want to show you the new spring 2012 collection from Brahmin that is available to me through the widget below . its shows my favorites in the line but I encourage you to discover your own.

Unfortunately the widget is interfering with all my other page elements so I'm not able to post it in the post please find it toward the bottom of my blog I hope to place it there it that works out OK Thanks for reading

A Shot Of Faith (To The Head): Be A Confident Believer In An Age Of Cranky Atheists by Mitch Stokes

I received my copy of A Shot Of Faith (To The Head): Be A Confident Believer In An Age Of Cranky Atheists by Mitch Stokes, Through Booksneeze . I was hoping to get so insights on how to deal with some family members who are nonbelievers.

I was able to get a few pointers that will help me, but most of the authors suggestions would work way better for those of us in college or in a setting where we have to deal with college level unbelievers and scientists. So this is a fantastic resource for those of us dealing with people in those categories. For me I'm not dealing with people of a higher education in philosophy or the sciences so I really did not need the in depth arguments presented in the book.

Now having said all that I want to make it very clear that the author has painstakingly put together a work that will aid in helping anyone, and equip them to be able to argue and debate their faith with a really good arsenal of tactics. I encourage anyone dealing with crank atheists, On the college or grad school level to read this book. If you are just trying to get a bit of help and practical applications for defending you're faith, to let say you're none highly educated family this book may not be as big a help to you. This Book does well in addressing the finer points of faith vs science and philosophy but on a very deep level, One that I admit was a bit beyond me.

Thanks for looking at my review

Arm and Hammer Sensitive toothpaste review

I was able to try the new Arm and Hammer Sensitive toothpaste maxim relief without a prescription with whitening from the makers of orajel recently through a smiley mission and here are my thoughts about it .

I really think this is a superior toothpaste for sensitive teeth. The technology is so complete and you get so much bang for your buck with this awesome product . The features are.

Fluoride cavity protection

Low abrasion formula

Relief from painful tooth and nerve sensitivity

Effective stain removal

Breath freshening

Deep cleaning

we all know and trust Arm and Hammer to make Superior products and Orajel is also a trusted and innovative manufacturer of many products or oral pain. These two great companies combine to formulate a really Superior product in Arm and Hammer Sensitive toothpaste. I was so impressed I decided to do a video review so you can see what this product looks like on video and my thoughts about it. Those members of my family and friends whom I gave a sample to have reported that they like the Arm and Hammer Sensitive toothpaste, much better than the product they were using. I'm hearing rave reviews from family about it.

I sure hope you get a chance to view my video review so you can make an informed decision to try the new Arm and Hammer Sensitive toothpaste soon .Thanks for looking at my review.

Breath Right Advanced review

I was able to try the new Breath right advanced nasal strips through smiley and I have to say I like the improvements.

I had used the original breath right and found them to be Good because my nose is many times blocked due to allergies. What I love about the advanced is the new 4 points technology, that is designed to work with the anatomy of your nose, making the advanced strips work even better than the original.

I like that the advanced has the 3M adhesive. My nose tends to be the oiliest part of my face I need a stronger adhesive to keep the strips in place all night. The Breath right advanced works very well, and stays in place all night. They are very comfortable and I think the improvements will help people with all kinds of nasal blockage due to colds or allergies very well.

I am so happy I got to try them. So if you have not tried the Breath Right advanced I sure hope you give this new technology a try, I'm sure you will find they do a great job in relieving your nasal congestion. I received a sample of Breath Right advanced but my opinions are my own and I think its a great product.

The Bride Wore Blue by Mona Hodgson Book Review

I received my copy of the Bride wore Blue by Mona Hodgson through blogging for books. I thought this was a really interesting Christian fiction story that is the latest in the series from the author. This series is called The Sinclair Sisters of Cripple creek and This one is book 3.

I have not read the other 2 in this series but now I really want to because I was really able to identify with the characters in This story. This is the story of Vivian who moves to Cripple creak to be with her sisters who have all gotten married and found love in this town. Vivian wants to be a fashion designer but in this smaller town of Cripple Creak finding a job is not easy. Vivian is also hiding a terrible secret about her past in Portland. This secret leads her to believe that she could not possibly be forgiven for the sin she committed and her damaged self esteem leads her to make some really bad choices.

I Liked this story it touches on how sometimes we dwell so much on our failure's and sins we forget that God Knows us and forgives us. We get caught in the trap of being so ashamed about our behavior that we end up making even worst choices because we can't forgive ourselves. We forget that through Christ our sins are covered and should be put behind us. We forget to move forward and not dwell on the mistakes we made before. Dwelling on past sins only breads feelings of worthlessness and despair. We need to keep running the race, not wallowing in our failures. Christ forgives, he never asked us to wallow in despair.

Aveda Damage Repair Remedy Review

I am so happy to be able to be trying out a great hair care product from Aveda through the Vogue Influencer Network. I received a full sized sample of Aveda Damage Repair Remedy recently and have used it on my damaged hair.

I liked the way it made my hair soft and easy to manage and since it also will protect my hair from future damage from heat and styling I'm confident it will go a log way to improving the look and feel of my hair.

My hair has been put through a whole lot of damage and being 52 on Tuesday does not help a lot as it seems my hair is getting a bit courser as I get older. Coloring it every 4 weeks to keep up with the grey dose not help and thought I'm now wearing it shorter I still have to flat iron it in place or its got these annoying wiry hairs sticking up all over. Now that my hair is short in a fuller style I have to also blow dry it so it have the volume it need to look fuller.

When I had my long hair I just let it air dry because I was going for a smooth look,but with this new cut blow drying is essential. As a result I'm heaping damage on damage.

Here are some things I learned about Aveda Damage repair Remedy .First its made with Flower and plant essences. Aveda’s Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair is 97% naturally derived, instantly repairs damage by 26% and helps protect from heat styling.

It has a thinner kind of consistency a sort of a cross between a thicker cream and a serum. This makes it come out of the tube quickly so be careful squeezing the tube you only need to use a bit of it. You apply it to damp hair and style as usual . I did a video review so you can see the product and my thoughts about it so please check out that video.

I wanted to show you all the different products in this line from Aveda so you can decide for yourself which product you will want to try. Aveda makes a intense repair remedy as well, I got to try the daily repair, so if you have more damage they do have a stronger remedy. Thanks for looking at my review and video for the awesome Aveda Damage repair Remedy.

I was so very happy to be able to try the The Flex Belt
recently,I cant tell you how much I love this product. As most of you know I'm going through menopause and am always looking for things to help overcome some of the really nasty changes I have going on. One of these is weight gain regardless of diet.

I have been seeing over the last year the area around my belly getting bigger and bigger. I am getting that rounded torso area look so common to women over 50. I am going to be 52 in about 10 days. I really wanted to do something about this problem, but I cant do to many crunches any more because I have a touch of sciatica that makes these movements uncomfortable. Because of this I just do not have the discipline to do crunches. I do exercises for arms and legs, but sit ups and crunches are difficult.

I learned about The Flex Belt
through online reviews and really wanted to see if it could help me.

Here is what I found out. At first I thought it would be painful to use, Wow was I ever wrong I actually really like the feel of it working, For me its like getting a belly massage. I love the way its rechargeable so you are not always buying batteries and that its so easy to use and get accustomed to.The Flex Belt
fits around your waste and has a lot of different program you can use with different setting intensitys.

I read all the instructions and found I can have it on a higher setting and still be very comfortable.

The Flex Belt
uses electric muscle stimulation with perfect abdominal contraction up to 150 per session. I am up to 70. I love the way The Flex Belt
was so easy to use. You just follow the instructions for applying the gel pads, put it on and that turn it on. You than want to set the program you want to use, and gradually increase the intensity of the stimulation that cause the mussels to contract, over the course of the program time. For me this feels nice, I do not experience any pain or discomfort with it. I look forward to using it. I am up to program 3 at 70 strength. After the session I store it away and I have never experienced any discomfort after the sessions either.

I can tell The Flex Belt
is really doing its job and I am on my way to a flatter abdominal area. I know a lot of you have been thinking about this product and have probably see the TV ads. If you are worried about pain while using it I can tell you from my experience its not that way at all. Although everyone had different ideas of what is uncomfortable I think with the many setting the product has you will be able to find an intensity that comfortable for you. I actually think it feels much like one of those expensive back massagers that sort of Hum. You can really feel the muscles contract but its not an uncomfortable feeling.

To put it bluntly I'm sort of a pain wimp and before using The Flex Belt
I thought OK here is goes get ready, I was so surprised to find the default intensity settings was so mild that I just felt a slight tickle. In No Time I was adjusting the unit to 70 and on program 3.

some features I love are - The unit will shut its self off when the session is finished, depending on the program you choose it runs from 20 to 40 mins. its easy to increase the intensity as you progress through the session buy using the buttons on the controller and you can also decrease it if you have went up to far, its so very easy.

I did a special video review for the Flex Belt and I hope you have a look so I can show you the products many features . I thank you for looking at my review and I hope I answered some questions you may have about it. If you need me to answer anything else just email me thanks for reading and looking at my video review for The Flex Belt

Coppertone water babies sunscreen reviews

I have some sunscreen products that are my favorite for enjoying the sunny days of summer in style so I thought I would share with you some things about them.

First I have 4 grandchildren who are constantly swimming in the pool and spending a lot of time in the sun. Its really important to keep them protected with a hardworking sun block and Coppertone has just the thing.

Coppertone water babies sunscreen pure and simple lotion is great because its tear free oil fragrance and dye free so your not getting anything you do not need. its 50 SPF and the # 1 pediatrician recommended brand.I think this is the best choice in a sunscreen for younger swimmers.

Coppertone also makes some other really helpful items in their Coppertone Water Babies delicate Foaming lotion. This one is a 75 SPF and a broad spectrum UVA/UVB water proof sunscreen that's easy to apply and is moisture rich. It will not sting or irritate babies delicate skin and is just an awesome product for sun care.

The next one I really love is the Coppertone wet N clear that you can spray on wet skin and it still be effective in protecting with an SPF of 45+ this one is water resistant up to 80 mins so that a real benefit with swimming kids. Coppertone wet N Clear will cut through water on the skin.

All of these are fantastic for my grandchildren who live in Florida and have to be protected from the sun always. 2 of my Grandsons are fair children with red hair so its double important to be sure they have adequate protection.

Now For me I have a Coppertone favorite I love and that's Coppertone Sport. This product is ultra sweatproof and will not run into your eyes while your sitting at the pool or going for that hike in the woods.This is a high performance broad spectrum UVA/UVB with an SPF of 50 .I also love that it has antioxidants for extreme conditioning and defense. This is my choice of sunscreen because I really hate sunscreens that seem to melt of and get in your eyes.

All of these products are a fantastic choices to have on hand for those happy sun saturated days at the beach or pool. Thanks for reading my review

All I can say is wow I really am loving the NuBrilliance Microdermabraison at home tool that I had done a review for a little while ago .Im updating because now that I have been using it for a longer time I can tell you that it does a truly awesome job at exfoliating my skin and making it look so much better.

Keep Your Skin Gorgeous

How to Keep Your Skin Gorgeous 

Beautiful skin is the result of practicing good skin care habits. The following tips will help to ensure healthy glowing skin that remains youthful at every age:

• Drink Lots of Water – Drinking at least eight glasses of water a day helps to rid the body of toxins. Water keeps our bodies hydrated and helps to maintain our skin's natural glow.
• Get Enough Rest – Sleep has been called "the most natural beauty treatment." If you are not getting the recommended eight to nine hours a night, sleep deprivation could be a direct correlation to the dark circles and prominent lines you're trying to cover with makeup the next morning. Not getting enough sleep can also cause wrinkles. 
• Clean Your Face Morning and Night – Speaking of makeup, it's important to wash your face regularly, first when you wake up in the morning and again before you go to sleep. It can be tricky finding the right face wash for your skin type, but once you do, try to stick with it rather than constantly changing which facial cleanser you use. If you're switching between brands meant for oily skin and brands meant for dry skin, it will be hard for your body to adapt. Visit an esthetician or skin care specialist to help identify your skin's needs. Your skin care specialist may have sample face washes that you can try to see how they work on your skin type before investing in an entire bottle.
• Use Moisturizer – Moisturizing is crucial to maintaining healthy, happy, beautiful looking skin. For moisturizing your face, apply moisturizer after a shower, before applying makeup, or as needed. Same with your body. It's not hard to tell when your skin feels "thirsty". A sure sign you need to moisturize is dry itchy skin.
• Avoid Smoking – Along with all the other negative effects of smoking, being a smoker will age your skin - fast. Smoking deprives the skin of oxygen and other nutrients it needs to remain healthy, causing skin spots, uneven skin tones, and wrinkles. Smokers may even notice that after years of smoking, the skin on their fingers become stained. If you are a smoker, quitting with have tremendous positive effects on your health, including developing a healthier complexion as oxygen and nutrients in your blood will flow better. 
• Avoid Heavy Sun Exposure – Excessive amounts of time in the sun can have severely damaging effects on your skin. Be sure to use SPF on your face as well as your body and avoid staying out in the sun too long.

Practice these good habits regularly to maintain the natural beauty of your skin. If you're interested in learning more about health and nutrition or skin care, consider going to an accredited online college.
