Three Things

I just discovered Hilary’s veggie burgers and they are too good to not give a shout out to.  They are GMO free, Dairy free, Gluten Free, Corn Free, Yeast Free and they are simply delish. Nailed it.  They are sold throughout the U.S.of A, so check their website or your grocery store to see if you can get your mitts on these fellas.

Please forgive the photo.  I wasn’t planning on blogging about these gems, but they are just that good.

The fella in this photo is the adzuki bean burger smothered in ketchup & dijion mustard

Another food I am loving is avocado toast.  I don’t why it took me so long to try this duo, but I am so tickled that I did.

Ezekiel toast, 1/2 of an avocado, 2t hemp hearts, a bit of garlic salt & red pepper flakes. So. Dang.  Good.

And my final thought for the day, is my love affair with Medicine Mama’s Sweet Bee Magic Bee Balm.  I am fairly certain that I have mentioned this product before on my site, but it really deserves another shout out.  I swear by this product.  I use it to remove make-up, on cuts, it is my lip balm and my go to product for any sort of dry skin issue. It is also my secret weapon in getting my skin to look extra glow-y.  After I have put on my tinted SPF and my under eye concealer I dab the balm around my orbital bone (the circular area around your eyes).

Exhibit A

Exibit B

good lord that is a photo.

This balm is safe for those battling blemishes as the olive oil in it matches your skin’s on sebum (oil) and the propolis and honey are anti-microbial. However, I wouldn’t slather your skin in this balm if you are not exfoliating appropriately and you are acne prone- this product could be too much oil if the right about of exfoliation is not occurring. This wonder balm can be purchased from their site and some Whole Foods carry it- it is generally near the bandaids.

It looks like this, but I think their packaging has changed a wee bit.

While we are on the topic of acne, if you are battling it, please do not hesitate to contact me.  I am all too familiar with sir acne, as I wrestled with him a few times in my years, and I know a thing or two about ridding skin of him.

Here is a recent testimonial I got from one of my clients.  I am not sharing this with you to toot my horn, but to offer a resource to any body out there struggling with not-so-clear-skin.

I cannot begin to describe how wonderful Kelli is at Skinspot. My acne was pretty bad when I first visited Kelli, but from my very first facial, I was able to see obvious results from each visit.  I can’t reiterate enough, how methodical and progressive each visit is.  Kelli is knowledgeable, honest, and gives great practical advice. Above that, though, she is so kind, personable, and understanding about having skin insecurities.  

                I used to wake up each morning and look in the mirror, desperately searching for any improvement in my acne. Those days seem far away now, as I don’t have to wear make-up constantly and deal with the pain and embarrassment that comes with acne. I was the person who tried every type of facial and every face wash known to mankind, but to no avail. I was never rid of my acne until I saw Kelli, and so to anyone who is looking to clear up their skin or who just wants to know how to take care of themselves, I highly recommend Kelli at Skinspot. She’s a fantastic esthetician , but also such a great gal in general. – Maia R.

And with that, I am out.  Happy Weekend!
