Reaching your late 20's?? Make peptides your best skin care bestie!! As we age, the free radicals in our body increase and our skin cell renewal rate decreases. That is what makes your skin lose its elasticity and welcomes fines lines and wrinkles, making it a big nightmare for us. So remember that prevention is always better than cure and start your anti-aging regimen early!! I was given a chance to try out the Foxbrim's Peptide complex Serum in exchange of a honest review and it is my latest addiction!

This serum has peptides -the collagen booster, hyaluronic acid -  a great moisturizing agent, Witch hazel - the savior from skin inflammation, jojoba oil - moisturizer and can even the skin tone, Vitamin for hydration. This product has a lot of moisturizing ingredients and the key to anti-aging is moisture, moisture, moisture!! I use this serum every morning and I find it to be very hydrating. My skin feels smoother and I love the way a little product goes a long way!! I totally recommend this serum to people who are on the anti-aging journey.

BODYMERRY STRETCH MARKS & SCAR CREAM + AGE DEFENSE EYE CREAM REVIEW

Stretchmarks are really a nightmare that none of us want in our life. But having a flawless skin without stretchmarks and scars can sometimes become a dream, as our beloved body undergoes several changes during the process of growth. It puts on weight when we decide to treat ourselves to yummy cookies and cakes throughout the holiday season and it strips off the pounds when we exercise or diet. This process of losing weight and gaining weight may lead to stretch marks and onset of puberty, pregnancy are the other causes. Whatever be the cause, we need to accept it and take preventive measures to avoid stretch marks if you are still not a victim of them. If you are already, then act now and try to minimize their appearance. There are a variety of stretch mark creams available in the market today but the fact is, only a few of them actually do the job. I was lucky enough to get my hands on one such effective product and thanks to Body merry team for sending me this product to test for free and give my honest opinion.

The ingredients in this cream are very interesting.  Cocoa butter is the best all time remedy for stretch marks. And this is the main ingredient in this product. This product is made with natural and organic formula, free from sulphates, phthalates and parabens. Organic cocoa butter, Shea butter, pure plant oils, vitamins -- all these amazing goodies work on your stretch marks and improve their appearance. It is so moisturizing and the cream is a thicker formula, providing the maximum hydration. The affected area feels much softer and I used this cream along with dry brushing. I see a good improvement in my stretch marks. I will continue using this product everyday.

You can purchase this product in amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/review/create-review?ie=UTF8&asin=B00OTZ28DE&channel=detail-glance&nodeID=3760911&ref_=cm_cr_dp_wrt_btm&store=beauty#

I was actually surprised when I first saw this eye cream on amazon. I was skeptical about this at first because I couldn't really believe that a single product can take care of your dark circles, puffiness, crow's feet, wrinkles, fine lines and bags!! But after trying out this product, I was very happy with the results. This is an organic and natural anti-aging formula with peptides, retinol, hyaluronic acid, cucumber, rose hip oil, witch hazel, alovera, green tea and many more.It is power packed with 70+ ingredients and is not sticky under the eyes. It gets absorbed into the skin easily and I see that it is helping with my puffiness under the eyes. The eye area feels more hydrated and smoother. I love this amazing eye cream!!

RETINOL IN ANTI AGING (AZURE NATURALS RETINOL SERUM REVIEW+GIVEAWAY)

Retinol is the other name of Vitamin A. It works wonders on wrinkles, fine lines and pigmentation. The cells in our body should be renewed on a regular basis to maintain a healthy look on your skin. But as we age, the free radicals produced in our body interfere with the cellular renewal process and as a result, we see that our skin starts developing wrinkles and fine lines. Retinol's molecular structure is in a such a way that it can penetrate into the cells and boost the collagen production and elasticity. It fights with the free radicals and helps in controlling and reversing the aging effects. Our skin does most of its repair job and cellular renewal process at night after 10PM and it is advised to give your body some rest during this time. A proper sleep combined with good retinol products can help you to start looking youthful again.

One can start using retinol based products in their mid 20's to prevent the aging affects.Since I am in mid 20's, I started including retinol based products in my nighttime skin regimen.Fortunately, I got a chance to try out this Retinol serum from Azure Naturals. It is a serum that contains 2.5% retinol and is good for people with sensitive skin too. You can use it all over your face and neck including the eye area, which is the major area where the signs of aging start to appear. This product claims to improve the collagen levels, elasticity and cellular renewel. Best thing about this serum is that it is not tested on animals, has no artificial ingredients and it is 97% natural and 72% organic. I love the way it moisturizes my face and I have been using this serum to treat the fine lines in my mouth area and the frown lines in my forehead area and I see that my face is a bit smoother and brighter now. The hydration is so good that you don't have to apply moisturizer again. 2.5% of retinol implies high strength and this seems to be effective in treating the fine lines and increasing elasticity.

GROUNDING - THE NATURAL WAY TO INDUCE SLEEP AND REDUCE STRESS

Have you ever wondered why do you feel so relaxed while walking barefoot on the sand and  playing in the waves on a beach? Did you ever give a thought on why walking barefoot on the grass in your lawn acts like an anti-depressant? This question struck my curious brain several times and it pushed me to make a study on why this happens. So here goes the secret behind this natural, god-given anti-depressant --- the concept of earthing/grounding.The concept of getting in contact with the earth barefoot is called earthing/grounding. Walking barefoot on dirt, grass, sand or concrete is earthing and the effect is maximized when the surface is wet or humid.Human body is made up of cells which have electrical energy. Positive electrons build up in our bodies in the form of free radicals. These free radicals are a group of atoms that promote the aging process and are responsible for various diseases.So in order to balance out these positive charges, our body needs abundant supply of negative charges. Earth is a natural source of negative electrons and our body is designed in such a way that these negative electrons are distributed from the feet to all the body parts.But we are blocking our body to be in contact with the mother earth by using plastic or rubber footwear, carpets and rugs.  Our ancestors, several centuries back, were more healthier and long-lived when compared to us. This is because, they kept themselves in contact with the earth most of the time. Grounding ourselves can give us a long list of health benefits.Here are a few to mention:

• Promotes immunity.
• Reduces muscle tension.
• Improved heart rate and circulation.
• Provides good relaxation and good sleep
• Makes your stress levels go low.
• Promotes antioxidants in the body.
• Reduces inflammation.
• Slows down the aging process.
• Protects the body from EMFs
• Helps in balancing out the harmones and solves female menstrual problems.
• Helps in increased healing rate.
• Supports adrenal health.

Now you might be thinking, " Oh this girl is gone crazy!! Does she expect me to go to my work barefoot? How is it even possible to be in contact with earth all the time?". Well, where there is a will, there is a way. So, read on!! First, ditch your plastic and rubber footwear and invest in a good pair of leather footwear. Plastic and rubber are insulators and they block the negative ions from coming in contact with your body, whereas leather is a good conductor and allows the passage of electrons through them. So, you are wearing the shoe and at the same time, you are in contact with the earth. Second, invest in an earthing mat. You can place this near your computer desk, or you can even sleep on it to electrically ground yourself. Third, reduce your usage of WIFI and cell phones (if possible) as they increase the free radical build up in the body. Try to walk barefoot for few minutes a day on the grass or sand or whatever earthing medium you wanna choose. So, all the lovely mommies out there, let your cute little one get some dirt on his/her feet next time by walking barefoot -- A little dirt is gonna make more good than harm <3

GARCINIA CAMBOGIA - MY WEIGHTLOSS BESTIEE

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOPdaa2a800d0b961fe35c1337c4d654460" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>

Recently, I have been trying to shed off the extra pounds I gained after the long, awesome holiday season and I have been researching on natural supplements that aid in the weight loss process. I have been seeing a lot of hype going around for Garcinia Cambogia now a days and tired learning more about this one. Here goes the interesting finds about this magical weight loss bestiee!!

Garcinia Cambogia is a tropical fruit with a nickname "Malabar Tamarind" . It has the capacity to suppress the appetite levels and boost our body's fat burning capability. This is done by the active ingredient "HCA" - Hydroxy Citric Acid present in  this magical fruit.  Our body uses the enzyme Citrate Lyase to produce fat and HCA blocks the production of this enzyme!! At the same time, it regulates the hunger levels in us by raising serotonin levels in the brain.This is the theory on how Garcinia Cambogia works!! The good thing is that it keeps the cholesterol and blood sugar levels in check!! How amazing is that?? After a thorough research, I was convinced that this supplement is gonna be my bestie in my weight loss journey. Now, the question is: Which brand of Garcinia Cambogia supplement should I get?? I have been researching over several brands and found this amazing seller of Garcinia on Amazon - Life And Food. They offered me to try out this product and I am very happy that I tried this effective supplement.
Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L06278G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This brand has 80% HCA, which is the key factor to regulate the hunger level and fat production in the body. Moreover, unlike other brands found in the drugstores, this one doesn't have artificial fillers and binders. This is the reason I decided to give this product a try and I am happy with the results. It has been 3 weeks I started using this product. I feel less bloated and i feel happy all the time. I guess it is because of the raise in serotonin levels of the brain on using this supplement. Coming to the extra pounds, I don't see a huge difference since it is been only 3 weeks, but I feel much lighter and I reduced 2 pounds in these 3 weeks(combined with exercise). It has no side affects as this is a natural product and that is why I recommend it to everyone on their weightloss journey to give it a try.

WARNING: Contact your doctor before you start taking any supplement.

It smells good and readily absorbs into the skin. It doesn't make your skin feel oily but at the same time, it is very hydrating.
