NEW BURT'S BEES BRIGHTENING DARK SPOT CORRECTOR with DAISY EXTRACT

Disclosure: I received this product sample for free since I am part of Glamour Magazine's Glambassador program. My opinions in regards to the product are therefore my own.

I am one of those people who take pride in her appearance especially when it comes to my face. I always make sure to never leave the house without applying sunscreen and never go to bed at night without removing my makeup. Even with taking a proactive approach to my skin, I notice as I age, my complexion appears a bit blotchy and a few dark spots have appeared which have become quite bothersome to me.

I was excited to see that one of my favorite skincare brands, "Burt's Bees" has put out a great new product that targets the appearance of dark spots and evens skin tone for a brighter, more luminous complexion.

The first time I applied the product which is a very light, non-greasy serum that quickly absorbs into your skin, I instantly felt like my skin tone appeared more radiant with a natural glow. Besides the product benefits I have mentioned, the scent is really quite pleasant as it reminds me of walking through a field and smelling a fresh daisy since it contains daisy extract.

After several weeks of using the product, I started to notice that the few dark spots that were ever so noticeable seemed to diminish quite a bit in appearance so that meant less cover up needed since you can barely even tell that the dark spots were even there.

This product is suitable for all skin types especially for people with sensitive skin as it will not irritate your face after you apply it.

So if you are bothered by annoying dark spots and/or just want to have a more even skin tone along with a brighter, more luminous complexion then give New Burt's Bees Brightening Dark Spot Corrector with Daisy Extract a try.

The first time I tried Valentia Even Glow Serum Vitamin C 20%, I instantly noticed after the very first time I used the product how my skin appeared more glowing and radiant where it once was dull and lackluster in appearance. By using it several more times, I saw that my skin tone became more even and less redness appeared even without wearing any makeup. I like to feel comfortable in my own skin so having a product that actually improves the look and texture of my skin makes me feel more confident in my appearance from the inside out.

• EVENS SKIN TONE: Vanquish dark spots and skin discoloration, replacing uneven and ill-textured skin with smooth, wrinkle-free skin that leaves you looking flawless and ageless.
• INCREASES GLOW & RADIANCE: Revitalize your skin with essential fatty acids that leave skin smooth and visibly brighter. Smooth skin capable of reflecting light will give your skin a youthful glow and a brilliant shine for that well-rested and refreshed look.
• ABSORBS RAPIDLY: Moisturizes skin due to the capacity of the hyaluronic acid to absorb water, thereby increasing fluid between cells, giving your skin a smoother and younger appearance. This intense water absorption means no more dry, peeling or cracked skin, even in extreme weather.
• BOOSTS COLLAGEN PRODUCTION: The presence of Organic Rosehip Oil and a foundation of 20% Vitamin C increases collagen production so your skin retains the elasticity responsible for a youthful appearance and prevents skin sagging associated with aging. Enjoy smooth and supple skin that takes years off your appearance.
• REDUCES WRINKLES & FINE LINES: Special ingredients such us Hyaluronic Acid and Organic Sea Buckthorn oil work to plump up the skin, reducing wrinkles leaving skin clearer and younger.

Welcome Spring with NEW Starbucks Spring Blend!

Disclosure: I received the product mentioned above for free for the purpose of this review as I am a member of the "Modern Mom Insiders Program."  I was not financially compensated for this post.  The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product.  

Springtime means different things to different people. Perhaps it is the warmer weather that gets a person excited about spending quality time outdoors riding a bicycle or playing baseball at a local park.

What gets me excited about Spring, is discovering new things. With that being said, I just tried a new coffee perfect for the season, introducing, "Starbucks Spring Blend."

This coffee is crafted with exquisite beans from Latin America and East Africa, to reveal spirited, juicy notes and medium body, Starbucks Spring Blend is available at major grocery stores. It's balance of milk chocolate and sweet orange notes pairs beautifully with everything this season has in store for you.

When I first tried Starbucks Spring Blend coffee, I was really excited to pair it with the perfect treat, an Artisan style dessert bread in chocolate cranberry flavor. 

Pairing Starbucks Spring Blend coffee with a homemade dessert bread turned out to be the ultimate decadent treat that both myself and guests raved about. The best part about the coffee is that it is perfect for anytime whether it is an informal gathering or a major event. One thing for sure is once you had a chance to experience Starbucks Spring Blend coffee, it most certainly won't be the last time you have it since it really has a nice flavor.

With spring time also comes "Teacher Appreciation Week." I know that my son's teacher loves to drink coffee as we got her a Starbuck's gift card as a gift this past holiday season and I know that soon it will be teacher appreciation week so I thought of a perfect idea to present Mrs. B. with a beautiful Starbuck's spring mug along with a bag of Starbucks Spring Blend coffee. It will surely show the teacher how much she is appreciated!

However way you want to celebrate springtime this year, make every moment count with the simple pleasures in life by enjoying a delicious cup of "Starbucks Spring Blend coffee!
