Find Your Happy Place - Wrapped In Your Arms - Just in Time for Valentine's Day

Hi ya Gorgeous!

Happy February 2021 - wow - how is it already the second month of the year? Time and days have been flying by for me and I'm so thankful to receive this gift of the new Find Your Happy Place collection of body products from Unilever.

It's just what a busy working and distance learning mom needs! 

I recently took time to spend time in nature on a hike, which is my happy place! 


I carried the pocket sized hand creme with me and thank goodness I did! The Goldstrike trail in Nevada has 8 belaying ropes that you have to use to drop down in to the canyon. I did not have gloves with me, though I had the rose scent infused Find Your Happy Place hand creme to sooth my sore hands! 


The trail is well worth the effort it takes to get down to the Colorado river and see the other side of the Interstate 11 bridge that connects Arizona with Nevada.

Now look closely on this picture? Can you see the possible prehistoric embedding of a chicken? Or a large long wing bone? I think I may have discovered a new dinosaur fossil! If you are needing some self care for yourself, or as a gift for Valentine's Day - pick some Find Your Happy Place up at your local Walmart.

The collection includes a total of 7 pieces: bath & shower gel, scented candle, hand wash, body lotion, fizzing bath bomb, whipped scrub and hand cream. I'm loving this blush rose and magnolia scent! The hand creme helped me on the trail and the body wash and bath bombed were a sure comfort after the intense hike. So worth it!

Wrapped In Your Arms 

·       Includes a bath & shower gel, hand wash, body lotion, fizzing bath bomb, hand cream, scented candle, and whipped scrub 

·       Bath products are sulfate and paraben-free 

·       All products are enriched with a 3x blend of skin softening shea, cocoa butter, and vitamin E

Robin McGraw Revelation sheet masks - what your Monday needs!

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Monday! Oh, how I love Monday. Well, most Mondays. School is back and I'm gone to the Cosmoprof show in Las Vegas. I'll be sharing the finds when I get back!

Now speaking of finds, this set of masks from Robin Mcgraw - the wife of Dr. Phil from television, has been a quiet strength behind her husband for a long time - but now - she is shining in her own line of skincare, positive encouragement for women, fragrance and these masks!


 I just received some samples from the line. In  general, I love at home skin care and spa treatments. I regularly use sheet masks and was in no way prepared for how awesome these are!  They truly are different and a step up from a regular sheet mask with the bio cellulose fibers that make up the mask that holds the serums.  Whoa.




 I started with the Robin McGraw Revelation masks for fine lines and wrinkles that includes peach blossom stem cells. The mask it self is a thick, pulpy, gelly, cool serum soaked mask that applies easily to the face. There is NOT a neck piece which I wish there were. In my experience, because of the thick gel texture it "sucks" on to the face. Most sheet masks that I wear, I need to be laying down or in a reclined position - but not this mask! It stays on the face even when upright so if you need to answer emails or do the dishes while wearing this - go ahead!

I also have samples of the brightening and spot lightening mask with ice plant stem cells as well as the hydrating firming face mask with orchid stem cells. I'll be testing those out when I get home from Cosmoprof because the travel, high desert, and casino smoke tends to take a toll on my skin!

These masks are $22 each and  are currently available on the Robin McGraw Revelation website .
 Stay tuned, I have some samples of the rest of her line coming and will be reviewing those soon!


 Now, here's a little bit about Mrs. Robin McGraw, she's so much more than just the wife of Dr. Phil!

About Robin McGraw & Robin McGraw Revelation

Entrepreneur

Robin’s hope is to inspire all women to choose to live their lives with passion and purpose. In 2014, Robin founded the Robin McGraw Revelation Lifestyle Brand with a mission to encourage women to believe that it is not selfish to put themselves first, to understand that they deserve to embrace their own beauty, health, and happiness, and to know they must take care of themselves in order to take care of those they love.
In the brand’s first year, Robin partnered with the Home Shopping Network for an exclusive launch of her original skincare line. This debut broke all records, including new customers and “sold-out” sales, to name a few, on every appearance over a 24-hour time period ever held on the network.

Robin McGraw Revelation

In 2016, Robin launched Robin McGraw Revelation’s Luxury Skincare Collection, featuring daily and nightly regimens. Products are free of harmful sulfates, mineral oil, parabens, and chemicals. All products are also formulated without animal testing.
In addition to featuring effective formulations, the luxury line boasts beautiful packaging and inspiring names that are not only a reflection of the products, but are a nod to women embracing the beauty and fun of aging and living their lives freely, with passion and purpose. A motivational quote from Robin, hidden under the lid of each package, serves as reminder to women to feel empowered and to always live each day with a smile.
Robin’s products have been featured in The New York Times, Redbook, Allure, Los Angeles Times, People Magazine, and more. Products from Robin’s line were also recently named Beauty O-Ward winners in O, The Oprah Magazine Spring 2017 and Fall 2017.

Philanthropist

With the launch of When Georgia Smiled: The Robin McGraw Revelation Foundation in October 2013, Robin set out to enact real change by creating and advancing programs that help women, children, and men escape domestic violence and sexual assault. In its first year, Robin created the Aspire Initiative, a free curriculum aiming to reduce the level of intimate relationship violence in the U.S. and instill the importance of bystander responsibility. Today, it is taught in schools across the country. Robin also launched the Aspire News app, a free, virtual life-saving smartphone app which is disguised as a current news app but allows users to easily alert selected contacts if they are in danger with a pre-typed or pre-recorded message. It was recognized on Capitol Hill by the National Health Collaborative on Violence and Abuse as one of the top two apps that are the most effective in the fight to end domestic violence, with over 500,000 downloads.
Robin is a founding board member of The Dr. Phil Foundation, National Spokesperson for Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children (C.A.S.A.), National Celebrity Spokesperson for the Girl Scouts of the USA, member of the American Red Cross National Celebrity Cabinet, 2015 America’s Mother of Achievement Award presented by American Mothers recipient, 2015 Crystal Award from Laura’s House recipient, 21st Annual Knock Out Abuse Gala hosted by CNN’s Wolf Blitzer honoree, Heart of Gold by the Starlight Foundation honoree, Big Heart Award by the Westside Children’s Center honoree, 2014 Woman of Distinction by the Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles and more.

Media Personality

A daily presence on Dr. Phil since its inception, viewers worldwide have embraced Robin's contributions to the show; whether she’s discussing her experiences as a woman, wife, mother and now, grandmother, or dealing with issues that women encounter in every phase of their lives. Robin has been to every taping of more than 2,500 shows.
Robin is a highly sought-after public speaker. Most notably, she was a featured speaker at Oprah Winfrey’s O You! event in 2012 and embarked on a year-long tour as keynote speaker for the Women of Faith Presentations. Robin has been featured multiple times on The Doctors, The Today Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The View, Rachael Ray, Home & Family, Entertainment Tonight, and many more.

Best Selling Author

Robin’s first book, Inside My Heart: Choosing to Live with Passion and Purpose, debuted at #1 on The New York Times bestsellers list, a spot Robin claimed again with the release of What’s Age Got to Do With It?. Robin has since released From My Heart to Yours: Life Lessons on Faith, Family and Friendship and Christmas In My Home and Heart. More than 2.5 million copies of Robin’s books have sold through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other top retailers.

Wife, Mother & Grandmother

Robin and Dr. Phil, whom she fondly refers to as “Phillip”, have been married for more than 41 years and have two sons, Jay Phillip and Jordan Stevens. Robin continues to make her family, which now includes daughter-in-law Erica and two grandchildren, Avery Elizabeth and London Phillip, the priority in her life.

TGIF with Dear by Renee Pomegranate Moisturizing Mask

 Hi ya Gorgeous!

TGIF!
Woo hoo!

It's here! Good Friday! Passover! Easter! Party! Thank you Jesus!



Resurrection weekend is here! Oh thank God for Passover. Thank you Jesus for the Cross. I have felt such a strong anticipation for this weekend to arrive so the passing over can begin. Amen. And, amen!

Now - I'm getting me ready for the season that is at hand as of now. Extra care for skin and hair, health and self.

Part of the self care is a re:commitment to self care!  Masking weekly. More exercise. More rest!



I'm using a sample from Dear by Renee of a Pomegranate Moisturizing mask and I love it's jelly gelee texture! It is hydrating, but not as much a thick creamy mask?  I just know that as the weather season is changing, my skin is needing more moisture because yes, it's already very warm here in Arizona!  The mask is $49.95 and available on the website!

Here's some details on the Dear by Renee pomegranate mask and you can get it on the website here.

Best for All Skin Types and Ages. Excellent Hydration for Post Procedure, Air Travel, Mature, Hormonal Skin. It is also ideal for Dry, Sensitive, Allergenic, and Rosacea Skin.
Renew your skin with this ultra-hydrating, protective masque. Daily use dramatically helps visibly hydrate and relax skin.
Benefits:
  • Bring Hydration Back to Skin: This unique gel-based formulation effectively hydrates and protects skin, ensuring healthy and glowing skin. Aloe Vera Leaf and Mushroom Extracts nourish and soften skin. Your skin will become well hydrated and nourished.
  • Fabulous Soothing & Brightening: Vitamin E and Organic Pomegranate Seed Oil soothe redness, improve skin tone and brighten the skin. It is highly effective in alleviating stressed, sensitive or irritable skin. Continue using our Pomegranate Hydrating mask will result in a healthier, brightener, and glowing skin.
  • Look Young and Radiant: Chia Seed in Pomegranate Hydrating mask is a nature’s own cellular stimulant, which intensifies the healing and rejuvenating benefits of this age-defying mask. The beautiful smell of the mask also effectively alleviates your stress and keeps you relaxed.



Finally, you just may need some music to help move you forward, and here it is. Congratulations to Stephany Gretzinger from Bethel Music on her new album and the new sound of the season!

How To Get Your Dream Vacation Done with Girls Knock Life

Hi ya Gorgeous,

New Year. New you. Right? I encourage you to set really big dreams and really big goals. I have a big one for myself and my family this year. I would like us to take a Christmas trip to the Disney Aulani resort in Hawaii. I want us to spend time touring the memorial for Pearl Harbor.  I want my son and I to surf the Hawaii waves, hike some serious waterfalls, and just chill.


It's going to be a mighty tall order to get us there for a week, though I am committed to do a monthly savings plan as well as a monthly "extra" gig to raise more funds to be able to travel in the holiday season while also having everything paid! I see no reason for why a single mom can't treat her family to something special!

I even have a fabulous beach towel picked out to enjoy on the white sands of Oahu!

This Girls Knock Life towel is just the thing I need to keep me focused on my savings and work plan to see this trip manifest!


 Like the towel says ...stop thinking and start doing...  so when it comes to you, and some outrageous thing that you want in your life, what do you need to do right now to start taking action towards achieving this goal?

Don't do it all in a day. Rome wasn't built in a day. Do a step today. Follow up on the step tomorrow. Make a plan to go further the next day. Write it down. Post it on your mirror. Post it on your phone. Keep the image in front of you that you want to achieve. You can do it!

Get your Girls Knock Life positive encouragement beach towel here!

12 Days of Giving with Pedispa by LOOKBeauty

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Monday to you! I love a Monday! Today's 12 Days of Giving is with Pedispa by LOOKBeauty Intensive Moisturizing Footmask.


These booties of moisturizing ingredients like shea butter,  apple extract and peppermint are a great way to treat yourself to a 20 minute break! You can use these anywhere as they are convenient and not messy. So at your work desk, why not slip a pair on while you eat lunch and really relax for 20 minutes taking a break from the stress of the workday!



At home, you can put a pair on and prop your feet up while relaxing with your favorite book or tv show.

Most importantly, these Pedispa intensive moisturizing foot mask, or the exfoliating version by Pedispa are a great way to trigger yourself to do some very important self care in this ultra busy holiday season.

Two pairs of beauty booties are included in the package and this holiday pack has an added bonus of a foot file. 

Tell someone the truth. Sometimes it’s really hard, but it’s what friends do.  Booya and amen to this. I would rather have the cold hard truth spoken to me in love rather than have a friend be fair weather and hold back a word of correction for me.

Truth can help you grow.  So maybe, in a loving way, tell someone the truth they need to see and hear!

Keep up the great work of practicing random acts of kindness this holiday season!

Murad Spa in El Segundo CA: best facial and spa experience ever

Hi ya Gorgeous!
TGIF!

One day left til #MayBreakthrough in Hollywood CA! So excited!


I arrived yesterday to start tying up loose ends and finish final details for the event and had the opportunity to enjoy the Murad Spa in El Segundo CA.

Talk about amazing! Perfect way to start my weekend and wrap up my birthday celebrations!

Special thank you to Ashley and the home team at Murad for providing this opportunity for me.


It started with me driving from home in Arizona to El Segundo-in torrential rain! Thank God for the rain, because both Arizona and California need it!

I was greeted warmly at the front desk and offered a beverage. Of course I picked the champagne to calm my frazzled nerves from the drive. If you don't want champagne, there is also infused water or warm tea to choose from.

There is a beautiful mix of retail to choose from and I actually picked up some candles and gifts for the team working the #MayBreakthrough event.

Rita, a stunning beauty came to get me for my spa experience. The proof is in the pudding, her skin is amazing and you can't tell her age due to her hydrated, plump, firm skin. It just glows!

The spa service room is a good size, has ocean sounds and soft music. Dim lighting for privacy and comfort as well as a generously  padded table to lie on with knee supports and foot warmers.

While drinking my champagne I filled out a skin assessment profile.

In the spa service room Rita went over my skin concerns, examined my skin  and then thoroughly explained what procedures and products she was using.

My facial was a series of steps to clean the skin followed by the necessary extractions, and then a warm parafin treatment on my hands while Rita did a thorough neck and scalp massage while my glycolic set to tingling and working on my face.


 The Murad Spa offers Youngblood cosmetics. Interesting, I have seen this product at a different spa in Arizona. I've not tried it yet, but I hear really good things. How about you? Have you used Youngblood cosmetics?

 I loved my trip to the Murad Spa in El Segundo, and after the session was over, Rita gave me a "prescription" of recommended Murad products to take the best care of my skin and help maintain the effects of the Resurgence facial I received.

 As I browsed the retail area, I saw many familiar products until I stumbled upon this hair serum? Hmm...I'm putting this on the "try" and "test" list!
 Overall, my experience was flawless and I look forward to returning for Rita's recommended IWR facial. Stay tuned for that. In the meantime book a spa treatment for you at the Murad Spa here.


Then there is this wee video clip with my no makeup face that has been freshly cleansed by Rita. Oy. My eyes are so red from driving fatigue and being up too late Wednesday night and too early on Thursday morning.

It's worth it though!

See you in Hollywood!
