Exfoliate With Exfolimate

Saturday, August 30, 2014

One thing I can't stand is dry flaky skin.  Even when I use brushes and scrubs, I still have the same issue.   But now I use Exfolimate which is a whole new way of removing dead skin!





Exfolimate was inspired by the ancient technique of clearing the skin of impurities and build up by removing dead skin with a tool.  It's crafted to lift and remove dead skin cells and debris that harbour in the surface layers of our skin.   So an easy to handle tool was invented to glide across skin at a 90-degree angle to remove up to 98% of dead skin, dirt, and oils that clog the pores and causes blemishes.

A lot of traditional methods of exfoliating just coat the skin and then push debris all around but Exfolimate lifts and removes the debri and uses micro-groove technology to make sure no lingering oils or skin flakes are left behind.  It's like uncovering a whole new layer of skin that is softer and more youthful.  

With each set of Exfolimate tools you get a face and body combination.  The smaller tool is what I use for my face and neck and the larger one is great for the chest, legs, and arms.  It's also perfect for spray-tan prep or removal! Honestly, I'm so impressed with how will this works and it leaves my skin so beautiful and smooth!!!  Every girl needs this!

What's Your IdealShape + A Giveaway

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.

I am super stoked to share my new favorite line of products with you!!   IdealShape is a brand that seeks to provide the simplest and easiest weight loss program so that you can keep up with your goals in the most realistic way possible.  They help you achieve your ideal shape by empowering you to control your hunger with some delicious and budget-friendly products.






Their shakes and bars allow you to replace any meal with a low caloie alternative that will curb hunger.  They also contain essential vitamins and minerals that the body needs to work efficiently.   In order to use them you have to start slowly by replacing just one meal a day, and then you can work up to 2 meals a day.  It's still important to make sure you always have at least 1 meal each day that isn't replaced. 


When I started using their IdealShake Meal Replacement Shake I thought it was delicious.  It's a great way to reduce calorie consumption of a meal that would normally be 600-900 with a simple 120 calorie shake.  Of course I get my vitamins and minerals but I also get the power of Slendesta, a patented hunger blocker and an all-natural potato protein that blocks hunger and helps control cravings during the day.   It really does work.  The shake is very filling and delicious and I seriously didn't feel like I was starving all day, seeking out junk food!

Then, it was on to the IdealBar, a meal replacement bar with a delicious Strawberry Yogurt flavor.  It's perfect for on the go and it's designed to block hunger as well.  It contains 10 grams of protein, 23 vitamins and minerals, and 5 grams of fiber.  Seriously, this is the most delicious 140 calorie meal I've had in a long time!   I love that it has a dessert taste to it so I can still get my fix!
And finally, there's IdealBoost Raspberry Citrus Weight Loss Drink which is fantastically delicious.  It contains Slendesta and Fibersol for three hours of appetite control, B Vitamins for health, and green tea, caffeine, and raspberry ketone for increased fat burn and energy.  This was a great way to stay away from sodas and energy drinks.    



And if you use the code ASKAWAY20 you can get 20% off your order!




So on to the giveaway! 

One lucky US ONLY Winner will receive:
 
1 Tub of IdealShake Mix (choc or van)
1 Box of IdealBars (Choc. Peanut Butter or Cinnamon Caramel Crunch, Strawberry Yogurt)
1 Shaker Bottle
$70.00 retail value

Yes, I Wear A Mask // Here's Why

Thursday, August 28, 2014

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.

I don't mean a scary mask, or a way of hiding my natural self.... I mean an illuMask.   Actually it's an Anti-Aging Mask to be more specific. 




Let me explain.. The illuMask uses Phototerapy which is a safe and effective skin care technology with wavelengths of non-UV light that treat skin conditions.   Dermatologists and spa clinics have been using light therapy for years.  IlluMask's design uses a very similar technology but for a more affordable price.

illuMask uses red light to even the appearance of skin tone and reduce roughness while infrared light reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles. 

Together these lights fight the signs of aging. They bring you younger looking skin, a reduction in appearance of lines and wrinkles, firmer skin, and a brighter and clearer more radiant complexion.


It's so easy to use and gives me a good reason to relax and tune everything else out everyday. It's like putting on a pair of glasses.  I cleanse my skin like normal then slide the mask on my face.  After I push the ON Button on the wired remote controller the light teurns on.  After 15 minutes the mask turns itself on.  I choose to gently open my eyes a bit here and there during the 15 minutes, but you can also keep them shut.   The mask comes with 30 15-minute sessions so I've made it a habit to use for a month.

I feel like my complexion is brighter already!! And the illuMask is so easy to use that it sure beats having to go to the skincare specialist every week!  It's way more affordable too! 

Would you use an illuMask?

3 Key Pieces for My Fall Wardrobe

Wednesday, August 27, 2014


So I went on a shopping trip recently to Rockvale Outlets Lancaster.  It was actually my first time there (that I can remember) and I was so impressed with the sales I found.  There are so many shops at Rockvale Outlets that it’s hard to shop just one at a time but I decided to start with a fun shop to add some energy to my wardrobe. .  





One of my favorite online stores is deb so of course I was excited to scout out some key pieces to make my Fall wardrobe more fun. 

1. A Denim Jacket - $35
This not only helps keep me warm but it's great for layering so I can still wear my warm weather pieces like tees and tanks.
 

2. Palazzo Pants - $22
I love these. They are super comfortable and perfect for Fall beacuse they are lightweight and not bulky.  I also love that they cover my legs so even if it's a cooler day, I'm still going to be comfortable. 

3. Patterned Leggings - $10
These are a must have for me because they are so transitional.  I can wear them with a tunic top and add some fun patterns to my outfit and I can always have my legs covered.   Leggings are the best part of Fall, at least for me!
 




These were all priced so affordably that it made it so worth it. These 3 items will get a lot of wear! All of these will be featured very soon in outfit photos! Can't wait to show you how I style them!
 
Are these items in your closet for Fall? How do you style them?
