Rainshadowlabs ARH Serum and AEWR Turbo Wrinkle Smoothing Creme Review

The weather has been changing around here and my skin is not liking it. I started having flaky skin, peeling (I don't even tan, so that's not my skin peeling the tan). My skin looked awful! I tried all the moisturizers in my bathroom drawer. More than one at once and it didn't work. I thought I was going to look like this until my skin gets used to the colder weather. Then I tried Rainshadowlabs ARH Hyaluronic Serum. FIRST time on my skin and the dry patches were gone! WOW this is some amazing and powerful serum and my skin after a week is still loving it. Smooth and hydrated, I highly recommend it and for added bonus Rainshadowlabs products are ORGANIC. A little bit more about the ARH Hyaluronic benefits:

"Hyaluronic Acid makes up fifty percent of this high quality formulation. Holding up to 1000 times its weight in water and drawing moisture out of the environment and onto the surface of your skin, there is not a more effective moisturizing agent on the world market today. Non-comedogenic, penetrates deeply, and activates collagen production for a fresher, younger, firmer, brighter complexion."

 No peeling skin. Fresher complexion. A great canvas for makeup.


I also tried The AEWR Turbo Wrinkle Smoothing Cream and it did amazing on my skin. Less frowning lines on my forehead and also less crows feet around my eyes. Lines around my nose faded too. This is super powerful when you think it is an organic product! It has a cucumber scent that I also like. More about this Wrinkle cream: 

"The name says it all. If there is one turn back the clock product that every person over 25 with skin should have, this is it. Filled with the most medically advanced and clinically proven ingredients available. Restore firmness, heal sun damage, increase hydration, erase wrinkles, smooth texture, nourish at the dermal layer, minimize irritation, increase skin brightness and even out skin tone. Everything that you ever wanted in an anti aging wrinkle treatment daily moisture product has been added at maximum percentage for guaranteed potency, purity, efficacy, and profound results. You cannot live without this formula. There are way too many active ingredients to address what is in this formula. Suffice it to say that everyone on the RSL teams not only swears by this product, we all use it in our daily regimen. Safe, effective, and absolutely necessary."

 Forehead, expression lines and crows feet are less visible.

Disclosure: I received Samples of the Serum and Wrinkle cream to review from Rainshadowlabs. The review is my honest opinion of the products and my pictures were not edited, they are real results.

Kids Favorite Toys: Back To Blocks Playset

My kids have been playing all week with awesome wooden blocks from a local company Back To Blocks in Kaysville, Utah. I totally love wood toys. They are durable, safe, environmental friendly and pretty. Back To Blocks are for all ages, hand made and they spark creativity in my kids like nothing else. As you can tell even my 13 year old built an Eiffel tower. 



You can also build "domino effects" buildings

The Eiffel tower

Even baby loved to clean up with the fun colored bucket. Super easy to store. I thoroughly enjoyed playing blocks with my kids and the hours of entertainment this week we experienced with the block set. They blocks are bigger than legos, easy to keep track of and kid proof. They don't break and little kids can't swallow them. It is a great gift and a keeper with our toys going forward.

If you haven't had a chance to check out the block sets from Back To Blocks you can visit them here:

Disclosure: I received a free set of Back To Blocks to review. The review is my honest opinion of the play-set.

My girls and me at Cafe Zupas


My girls and I went shopping for colored skinny jeans for back to school and we had lunch at the popular Cafe Zupas. It was super delicious and they loved it! Even the kid meal is well sized and tasty. Ok, I had to taste the melted cheese sandwich. It was simply magnifique!! Mimi enjoyed her chicken enchilada soup and me the nuts about berries salad. Only 107 calories for 1/2 salad. Super yum and it also fits my healthy meal plan!

 Kids meal is tasty and perfectly sized for a child
 Chicken enchilada soup
 Nuts about berries salad only 106 calories for 1/2 salad
Cafe Zupas has locations in Utah, Arizona and Nevada.


Disclosure: I received a free Zupas gift card from Cafe Zupas. The review is my honest opinion of the food and dining experience.

Ambling Audiobook Player Review

I am taking a long flight from Salt Lake City to Paris on Saturday and have been looking for an audio book reader to help kill some hours on the flight. I downloaded the Ambling Book Player app to my iPhone. You have the option to skip the login and go straight to the books. You can try the out the features without filling in any forms which I love. The app navigation is categorized into fiction & non-fiction and then any array of categories from Adventure to Mystery to Romance to Western and everything in between:



I ended up in the Drama category but not because I need anymore drama in my life ;) I even found a book called Elusive Isabel. Although I spell my name Isabelle I could not pass this one up:

The player lets you jump 1 min forward, back, 15 sec forward & back. The download file management is completely handled by the app. No searching for files, it keeps a history of last played books and lets you pick up right where you left off. You can even speed up the audio voice up to 2x. 



The app was easy to use, navigate and the audio voice was professional and very clear. The lite version is free and the pro version is $8.99. The app is available for smartphones on Google Play, Amazon and iTunes:

Weight loss tip: focus on the positive


I have been thinking about body image a lot since I started loosing weight. I really think we are our worst critics and seriously it doesn't help with our weight loss and getting back in shape. Look at this droopy butt, those love handles are hideous... Your stomach is a lost cause and too damaged etc...

 If you are telling yourself these kind of things. STOP

You need to focus on the positive as your body changes. Your body is made to change, to renew itself and adapt. Focus on what qualities it has. For me the first parts of my body I started focusing were my legs. They were the first to get muscles and become pretty. I would look at them and think...WOW You are really looking good!!
I want you to look at your body and each time a nasty thought comes through. Think about the parts you like and compliment it: Eyes, hair? Smile...And I want you to accentuate it. Wear eye makeup or lipstick. Do your hair...
I right away got running shorts and sunless tanner for my legs. It made me happy, proud and motivated me for more areas of my body to get pretty. 

Do not listen to the know it all friends or family...You can't loose weight like that. Girls with muscles are ugly etc...
There is so many negative people out there. Don't do it for their approval, do it for yourself. Listen to the positive people who want you to succeed and maybe have done it before or do it for a living.
 Instagram has great inspiration and motivation quotes. You can see real athletes' pictures and be inspired to see your body change like theirs did.
