Hylunia Skin Care Review

One of the biggest concerns for women is their skin and in particular their face. Many of us put a lot of effort into a daily regimen devoted to keeping our face looking young and healthy. Unfortunately, a lot of skin care products have harmful chemicals in them that can do more harm than good. This is not the case with Hylunia skin care products.

Hylynia was born when a concerned father, who also happened to be a scientist, searched for safe skin care products to use on his then infant daughter, without much success. He decided to partner with a team of accomplished dermatoligists, scientists and physicians to create an irritant free product line that would use nature's healing power to keep skin safe, soft and radiant. So in 1988, Hylunia was born.

I was sent the normal/combination skin travel kit to try out. It included travel sized items of the facial cleansing gel, Colloidal Silver with lavender floral water spritz, super moisturizing facial day lotion, and super moisturizing night cream. I have been impressed with the overall regimen. The first day the cleansing gel did dry my face out a little bit, but I didn't notice that happening any other day. I do have dry skin though, so that could be why I ran into that problem, but like I said, it was only for the first day. The moisturizers were to do for. My face felt so hydrated after using them. And I was really happy to see colloidal silver used in this skin care kit. It's healing properties are amazing and have really helped minimize the eczema that I tend to get on my face.

Other product benefits listed on the Hylunia website of using this beauty regimen are-
* the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
*repairs sun damaged, over treated, asphyxiated or dehydrated skin (my skin definitely feels less dehydrated!)
*deeply cleanses to minimize the appearance of blackhead formation and protects skin against microbial proliferation.

I was impressed with Hylunia without a doubt. I would recommend any of these products to anyone that likes to take an organic/natural approach to skin care. I also really love the fact that all items ship for free!

Oogie's Gourmet Popcorn- Facebook giveaway

I just got my first Conscious Box (review coming very soon!!) and one of the products that really stood out to me was Oogie's Gourmet Popcorn. The sample I received was a bag of original kettle corn and it was SOOO good. It contained just the right amount of sweetness and I love that is is made from GMO free corn and without the use of high fructose corn syrup. (we do not consume genetically modifed food or anything containing high fructose corn syrup in our home, so this is a BIG WIN for me!)

I liked the product so much, I immediately went to Oogie's Facebook page to find out more about the company where I discovered they have a pretty amazing ongoing giveaway. You can enter for a chance to win a box filled with 8 packages of Oogie's Popcorn. They draw a new winner every week and you only have to enter once! This will also enter you for a chance to win the grand prize, which is 1,000 bags of Lil Oogie's to be donated to the local community organization of your choice! If I were to win, I would donate mine to our local food pantry! Some other places you could donate the prize pack to are a church, school, homeless shelter, women's shelter, the list is pretty endless!

I love supporting companies that make their products with our health and the wellness of the environment in mind. I am always ecstatic when they also have the well being of those less fortunate in mind as well. "Like" Oogies Gormuet Popcorn on Facebook and enter for your chance to not only possibly win something for yourself, but something that could help out someone who may really need it!
