Wine Wednesday: Have you Smoked a Loon Yet? Smoking Loon Cab Sav Review

Hi ya Gorgeous

Last week of August - how the heck did we get this far in the year? I sound silly saying it out loud, though it's true. I'm stumped at how fast the year goes! In my humble opinion, with Labor Day Weekend - we are officially in the holiday season.

There are so many events between now and then - then being the Christmas season, celebrations and get togethers that it's safe to call it "holiday season".  Or, you could also call it a good time to give and get wine!

Today in the Wine Wednesday review of $10 or under wines from the Walmart, I have a suggestion for you called Smoking Loon and it's a cabernet sauvignon.




Enjoy! Please let me know in the comments what your favorite $10 or under wine is!

Santevia - First Impressions - and How To!

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Monday!
Have I mentioned how I love Mondays? Also, in Arizona, finally, a morning that started below the 100 degree mark. Woot woot! That means Fall cool weather is only 2 months away! Joy!

Now - today's blog post is about Santevia mineralized alkaline water - treatment and bottle.
I received this sample from Santevia, thank you very much to test and review for an opinion.

Welp, my opinion is yes and amen. I like the BPA free bottle and the taste and feel of the water when drinking it. My now 13 year old likes it as well! Bonus! He is usually decent at getting water in but this just helps. I think it's the hydrogen booster gadget in the water that it making him drink more water and I've got no argument with that.

There is a wonderful booklet that accompanies the Santevia bottle detailing the benefits of a more alkaline system and how you can achieve it with the water when you add either the hydrogen booster (which is also called a recovery stick) or the bags of alkalized mineral balls.

Either way - I like it! I noticed a wee different in my skin after drinking the alkalized water for 5 days straight. When I say drinking the water, I mean 4 full bottles a day.

A note from Santevia:

Balance your water for optimal body health

The water from your tap is no longer balanced. Conventional water treatment removes healthy trace minerals and reduces alkalinity (pH) while adding harsh chemical disinfectants. This Santevia System restores your water’s pH balance, taste and natural benefits. It’s like drinking water from a pristine mountain stream: soft, silky and refreshing.

Now, that's just good stuff. There is a table top version for filling up so the whole family, pets included can use it.





Good stuff! Get yours on Amazon here or visit the Santevia website to see all the options available!

Oxygenetics Foundation - First Impressions at Aesthetic Everything Beauty Expo

 Hi ya Gorgeous!

TGIF! Woo hoo! The weekend is here - and for me - it's packed. No complaints - though the monsoon storms keeping knocking out the power and the internet! So posts have been a tad sporadic. This was supposed to go up last week after getting home from the Aesthetic Everything Beauty Expo - but , the weather!  I know, that's like saying "the dog ate my homework" and true story, while at my son's school waiting to visit with a teacher, I heard a kid say that very thing!

So this video is a review/tutorial at the Aesthetic Everything Beauty Expo in Scottsdale at The Phoenician Resort with Oxygenetics skincare. I have used several of their products in my post procedure care for the Lutronic LaseMD facial.

It's a real bonus to have a gentle and healing foundation to use because even though the procedure doesn't require down time, I wanted to even out my skin tone and be camera ready!

Enjoy the video




 I was post procedure with a Lutronic LaseMD facial in this video. It had barely been 24 hours and my skin looked great though felt a little dry.  Just before the video, Sopie from Oxygenetics had applied some Hydra Matrix first and then the foundation.

I received great hydration, the itchy calmed down, and then the foundation evened out my skin tone and I wore it for the rest of the work day and by the end of the event, I still had dewey even toned skin even though it was post LaseMD laser facial.

I know in the video, a sponge is used to apply - but - for me at home, I prefer to use clean fingers or a foundation brush. I think the sponge soaks up product and wastes it, so - fingers or brush for me!

Wine Wednesday - For The "Common Good" - Labor Day Weekend Prep

Hi ya Gorgeous!

 Who else is ready for a Wednesday? Or a new wine? Or - what? The fast approaching Labor Day weekend!

Ahh! Where does the time go? Where ever it goes, it goes too fast!

Ok, today I have a wine review of a Newman's Own product - Common Good cabernet sauvignon.

Did you know that Newman's Own charity started 30 years ago with a simple salad dressing? To this day, I like that dressing, and I like the Sockerooni marinara sauce too!

Now get ready to experience this wine - it's worth it! So much fun and goodness in the bottle!
