<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was lucky enough to be invited to try out the Clear + BrilliantTreatment. Rather than just making a blog post on my experience, I have filmed it - that was you can see first hand exactly how my skin is looking. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So what is a Clear + Brilliant Treatment? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This treatment was developed by the pioneers of fractional laser treatments. T<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 20px;">he Clear + Brilliant system is designed to deliver powerfully precise laser energy to stimulate a refreshing boost that only Clear + Brilliant can deliver. Firstly a numbing cream is applied all over the face and then cleaned prior to the treatment. The machine is then guided across the face, this whole process took around 15min (minus numbing time). After my face felt slightly irritated and had a fair bit of heat coming from it - very similar to sunburn. Later that afternoon, my skin started to feel rather rough and grainy, like sandpaper. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 20px;">This treatment is suggested to be aimed at those with </span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">pigmentation issues, dull skin or looking for a youthful boost. It is also designed to help fight the natural affects of ageing and improve skin texture and tone. </span></span></span><br />

<br />
After what seems like forever, I have finally re-joined a gym. As you would see on my Instagam, I have been getting back into fitness and holding myself more accountable by putting it out in the blogosphere. Up until a few weeks ago, I was only attending hot yoga and pilates, while these are amazing in their own right, I could definitely feel my body lacking.<br />
<br />
At the end of 2016 I was using class pass for most of last year, which was incredible and I was seeing some really great results - I actually lost 8kg which I was over the moon about. Anyhoo, soon after they made a few changes and I needed to find something else which better suited my needs. Fast forward to april and I have finally found a place, local to me, which is amazing! I want to share more of my Fitness Journey with you, and what better place than what is in my gym bag.<br />
<br />
I should also mention I have a locker at work, so if I do a river walk or park workout during lunch, I have a lot of this stuff stored at work permanently as well. (that could maybe be a separate blog post?)<br />
<br />
I will just go over my basics which I keep in my bag (I use a Nike backpack) when I go to my local gym.<br />
<br />
<b>My Workout Necessities </b><br />
<br />
<b>Water Bottle -</b> I generally just take a small Voss water bottle to the gym. Its light and compact and easy to carry around with all of my other stuff. I do have a big 2.2L water bottle, but I generally use this on longer activities or when I am out for an entire day.<br />
<br />
<b>Towel - </b>This little 'Real Active Movement' towel has been my go to for months now. I love microfibre towels for many reasons, but this one also has a handy zip pocket on it so I can store my keys away safety if I am trying to zip in for a quick training session and not wanting to take a bag at all. Check out their instagram @realactivemovement & 10% of proceeds are donated to mental health charities.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivuEFVRabjDa9vI5kkBxdjSk5VRP0cWb-uxTOjeVfiCW0pR1fRVl8hy-0dPA-bZd6RF1Yxi4IGuS09Og4XSoh2UUI8fWfbTCHeU2fqxDdxY1d0EoT1r-_oR8_9zeu8JDiPoKNooe9R5ia3/s1600/IMG_4114.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivuEFVRabjDa9vI5kkBxdjSk5VRP0cWb-uxTOjeVfiCW0pR1fRVl8hy-0dPA-bZd6RF1Yxi4IGuS09Og4XSoh2UUI8fWfbTCHeU2fqxDdxY1d0EoT1r-_oR8_9zeu8JDiPoKNooe9R5ia3/s640/IMG_4114.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Heart Rate Monitor and Watch - </b>This trust little guy has been my favourite gym buddy for so many years. I find it is the best motivation. For me I am easily motivated visually, so when I see my heart rate at a certain point or the amount of calories burnt, I am driven to work harder to push it that bit further and beat the current status.<br />
<br />
<b>Interval Beeper - </b>For me HIIT workouts are pretty much the standard, if I trained 7 times in a week, at least 4 of them would be HIIT. I find my body responds best to this style of workout. The interval beeper was my solution to not having my phone on me during workouts, limiting my distractions and helping keep my focus.<br />
<br />
<b>Headphones - </b>I am currently just using the standard apple headphones, but I do have some wireless beauties coming - more on those soon.<br />
<br />
<b>Ankle Weights - </b>Because I like being able to push myself that extra bit with certain exercises.<br />
<br />
<b>Skipping Rope - </b>I have a weird thing about skipping ropes, I find not all are the same. This is a weighted rope and it helps me to skip better for longer. Nothing more frustrating then trying and not being able to get a good momentum going.<br />
<br />
<b>Quest Bar - </b>I swap this in and out for protein shakes as well. Sometimes this is easier on the go and I dont have to worry about stinky shakers. If I am out of these I will generally take a Banana and leave it in the car.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Ro's Argan Body Moisturiser - </b>The perfect shower on the go product. It is a body wash and moisturiser in one.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Deoderant - </b>I generally like to freshen up after my workout, usually this is where baby wipes would could in handy as well. I am loving this natural Moo Goo deoderant atm. Do you use any natural deoderants?<br />
<br />
<b>Hand Sanatiser -</b> I permanently have this in my car door, I like to sanatise when I get in the car, before I eat or drink.<br />
<br />
<b>Dry Shampoo - </b>After I have showered I will generally bring my hair back to lift with a few spritz's of dry shampoo. Its amazing the difference it can make.<br />
<br />
<br />
I would love to know what are you Gym Workout Necessities and what type of workouts you have been doing lately.<br />
<br />
Also if their are any other health/fitness type blog posts you would be interested in, please let me know in the comments.<br />

GUYS! It is crunch time, Mothers Day is just around the corner. So time to get yourself into gear if you haven't already. And if you haven't then <a href="https://au.lush.com/products/mothers-day" target="_blank">Lush Cosmetics</a> have you covered for all the wonderful and beautiful last minute gift ideas.<br />
<br />
This years collection has a lot of bath products, and what mum wouldn't love a beautiful evening being spoilt and topped off with a relaxing bath.<br />
<br />
So lets get into it...<br />
<br />
<b>Mum Bath Bomb - $6.95 </b><br />
This is such a relaxing and fresh scented floral bath bomb with hints of lemon and orange oils. Its the type of scent that you could really drift away with. Available in Pink & Yellow.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Ups a Daisy Bath Bomb - $7.95</b><br />
A more earthy scented bath bomb, still with a hint of rose. I can't wait to see this one dissolve, the various colours will be incredible to see.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Baa Bar Bubble Bar - $8.95</b><br />
The perfect addiction to any Bath Bomb, a bath really isn't complete (in my opinion anyway) without the addition of a bubble bar. This little Baa Bar is so adorable and has the most incredible scent or lavender, rose and ylang ylang - probably one of my favourite combinations. If the bath bomb didn't whisk you away, well this then sure will.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK8lVP1mlxT_NseHsp_ukuzAF5ioPlH29WKfo9qna1zbuU8ILEvkfbFbxuyluCks29iRX0x84-MVD6x0Ynka3FJMGXh8jwGhrbL2HtIBrh2ZD7VFOq8XSXnA06hU8HtlK-hXuCAR80brMe/s1600/shannon+gibb+blog+lush+mothers+day+yummy+mummy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK8lVP1mlxT_NseHsp_ukuzAF5ioPlH29WKfo9qna1zbuU8ILEvkfbFbxuyluCks29iRX0x84-MVD6x0Ynka3FJMGXh8jwGhrbL2HtIBrh2ZD7VFOq8XSXnA06hU8HtlK-hXuCAR80brMe/s640/shannon+gibb+blog+lush+mothers+day+yummy+mummy.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
For those Mummy's that prefer a shower, well they have not been forgotten about.<br />
<br />
<b>Yummy Mummy Shower Cream - $10.50/100g</b><br />
For those short on time, you still don't have to miss out on the pamper experience. This shower cream includes organic cocoa butter to condition and soften your tired skin. The scent is interesting and not something I can pin point but it definitely keeps me coming back for more.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Pink Custard Shower Jelly - $7.50/100g</b><br />
This might be the product I am most excited about... almost. Mainly as I have never used a shower jelly before! It seriously feels like a jelly pudding and the lavender smell is incredible.<br />
<b><br /></b>
And to not forget those after bath/shower pamper moments..<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Scrubee Body Butter - $14.95</b><br />
This is actually definitely the product I am most excited about! I have a confession - and I love buffing products. This product looks cute and innocent but in with the beautiful hydrating honey and cocoa butter is a mix packed full of coconut shells and ground almonds. I can't wait to get this one into the shower. Perfect way to exfoliate and relax in bath as well.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNlr6uL7fGYyoybH16v_uWOZ2MUQyyaLjjiCSkbtV86UsjYv82pipmGLZf9wSMXv7YkC5jHMvrcVBRH3iKDav5qrtrHpn1S71zVzzZkvOqEBi-TF62ST7CsHZQKcK0OmcgDxalLL3uSWFa/s1600/Shannon+gibb+blog+lush+mothers+day+honey+lip+scrub.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNlr6uL7fGYyoybH16v_uWOZ2MUQyyaLjjiCSkbtV86UsjYv82pipmGLZf9wSMXv7YkC5jHMvrcVBRH3iKDav5qrtrHpn1S71zVzzZkvOqEBi-TF62ST7CsHZQKcK0OmcgDxalLL3uSWFa/s640/Shannon+gibb+blog+lush+mothers+day+honey+lip+scrub.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Honey Lip Scrub - $9.95</b><br />
Lip scrubs are some of my favourite products, especially coming into winter - they help refresh and prep the lips. The vanilla and citrus scent is stronger than the lower honey notes. It reminds me of butter menthols - could be a little dangerous.<br />
<br />
<br />
Also not to forget that if you just can't pick, remember Lush have gift packs available as well. That way the wrapping and everything is taken care for you as well.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I have been recently trialing the Anti-Ageing skin care
range by Elucent. I have an interest in anything anti-ageing for a number of
years now. There are so many different products on the market which promise you
the world, so I wanted to try make it a little easier for you and explain
exactly what AHA's are, how they work and why the Elucent range actually works
to improve your skin's appearance. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<em><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><strong>So what are AHA'S?</strong> </span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">AHA means Alpha Hydroxy Acids, they can be
naturally derived from plants and milk. However 99% of those which are used in
skincare are actually synthetic. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<em><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><strong>How do they work?</strong></span></em><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I know a lot of people shudder when you mention you use a
certain type of acid on your skin, probably imaging irritated, sore and burnt
skin. However these work in a very different and wonderful way. AHA's generally
work in three ways, to help moisturize, exfoliate and reduce wrinkles. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The two key ingredients in the Elucent range are;</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Glycolic Acid – This is one of the most commonly used AHAs in skincare. It
has a very low molecular size, which allows it to effectively penetrate skin.
The dead skin cells that bind with the skin are removed by glycolic acid by
loosening the “glue” that sticks the dead cells with the skin. Shedding dead
cells faster also promotes the emergence of new cells.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Lactic Acid – It can be found in milk. We know that milk baths have been
popular throughout the ages to help achieve beautiful skin. Lactic acid is a
good skin moisturiser as it helps retain water in the skin. It is also a good
exfoliator of dead skin cells. It can be used in combination with other AHAs in
skin care products.</span><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Products in the
Anti-Ageing Range</span></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">In addition to the key ingredients, the range is packed full of vitamins
including, E, C & B3 which are amazing for your skin. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Like with introducing any new skin care range, it is generally a gradual
transition from the old to the new. Elucent make it even easier, with a day by
day breakdown on what you should be using day & night, to ensure you don't
use too much AHA too soon. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">AHAs may cause mild and temporary tingling to the skin, which is very
normal. For those who haven't used AHA products before it is important to
begin with the lowest level of AHAs before moving to the higher levels.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Gentle Cleasner - 2% AHA </span></span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">This cleanser is probably the
coolest visually, it is actually an amazing pearlescent shimmery colour.
Not that that is important to how it performs (or maybe it is a magical unicorn
cleanser) but I thought it was worth noting. The cleanser itself doesn't leave
your skin feeling dry and tight. It lathers really well onto the skin and
leaves it feeling clean.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Day Moisturiser - SPF 50+ & 4% AHA</span></span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">I really like the feel of this
moisturiser on my face, it is very hydrating and sinks into the skin very
nicely. My make up has been applying very smoothly over this moisturiser. I
don't experience any tingling sensations which this level of AHA. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Night moisturiser - 8% AHA</span></span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">I have really enjoyed the
consistency of this moisturiser, it has that thick luxurious feel. It still
didn't take too long to absorb into my face, although slightly longer than the
day cream which was to be expected. I find I do get slight tingling when
applying, but this quickly disappears within a few minutes of applying. The
formula also contains B3, C & E Vitamins to help hydrate and replenish the
skins moisture balance whilst sleeping. I definitely notice a difference in the
morning after having applied this moisturiser the night before.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Body Moisturiser - 12% AHA </span></span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">This is one product I should
definitely use more, but to be honest, I can be a little slack which body
moisturisers. I should actually take this to work as this is where I generally
remember to apply. I am excited to see how this works on my shoulders, as this
is one other place I occasionally will get blemishes. It is a light &
non-greasy moisturiser, so I have no issue applying and then getting
dressed. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Eye Cream - 4% AHA </span></span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">I like the packaging of this
product, with a small nozzle type tip. The cream itself its more like a gel,
which was absorbed into the skin very easily. It also contains the beauties
like Vitamin B3, C & E. I felt very mild tingling but this went away within
seconds. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Serum - 16% AHA </span></span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">This product has the highest
concentration of AHA in the entire range. I definitely notice a nice tingle
when I apply this product, again it doesn't irritate or cause me any pain. The
serum itself is a clean runny liquid which absorbs into the skin very quickly.
Be careful not to apply too much of this and a little does go a long way.
Remember with AHA's you want to ease your skin into them. </span></span></div>

I am someone who has always been very aware and conscious of health. I am continuously learning and challenging myself. It wasn't until recently I thought about mineral make up and why I hadn't tried to incorporate it into my lifestyle sooner. After all, as we are continuously told, our skin is our biggest organ. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you follow me on instagram (shannon_gibb) you would be aware I have been 'experimenting' in the world of mineral make up. I use the word experiment very loosely, as it really is a no brainer and there are no actual risks involved. I am not going to be throwing out my collection but I do plan on making more of an effort to use and support mineral make up brands. <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><em>So firstly, what is mineral make up ?</em></strong> <br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="_Tgc"><em>It is make up made of minerals such as mica, zinc oxide, iron oxides and titanium dioxide (which has anti-inflammatory properties - wooo) and are free from filler ingredients preservatives like parabens, chemical dyes, binders and fragrances.</em> </span></div>
<span class="_Tgc"><br /></span><br />
<span class="_Tgc">So obviously the absence of these filler ingredients is part of what makes mineral make up so much better for your skin. Also not adding these onto your skin, to be absorbed into your body unnecessarily is always a bonus. A lot of people also claim that by swapping to a mineral base it has helped clear up their acne issues. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span class="_Tgc"><br /></span><br />
<span class="_Tgc">The inclusion of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide in mineral make up can actually offer you protection from the sun and from the effects of aging. These are Ingredients which can be found in sunscreen - cool isn't it.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
For me, I would like to start by including more mineral base products into my collection. I feel the base would be the best and most exciting place to start. <br />
<span class="_Tgc"><br /></span><br />
<span class="_Tgc"><strong>So what I want to know, d</strong></span><span class="_Tgc"><strong>o you use mineral make up? Leave a comment below of your favourite mineral make up brands.</strong> </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was lucky enough to be sent a Foreo Luna Mini 2 to put to the test. If you want to read the full haul from </span><a href="http://ry.com.au/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ry.com.au</span></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> click </span><a href="http://shannongibb.blogspot.com.au/2017/03/ry-beauty-launches-new-range-of-lux.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. I have used a few types of cleansing tools and brushes previously. What had my attention and what I felt separated this brush from the rest was that it was made entirely of silicon. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My main concern with cleansing brushes in the past has been the hygiene and cleanliness of them, regardless of the amount of cleaning and changing of the brush heads. The idea of the brush is to help improve the overall skin and to clear up congested skins with open pores, blockages and breakouts. But this seems counter productive when you are potentially using a brush full of bacteria and who knows what else. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By using Ultra-hygienic silicone the device can overcome those issues and hesitations due to silicon being nonporous and then able to resist bacteria buildup. It has also been found that silicon and Foreo is 35X more hygienic than standard nylon cleansing brushes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix4soIngGMbeD2P7I0Y5ax7fhAWHufrbVBaI6Lvys4tLnTiwWMDCG82BoEg1t7Emj5fPiJb3fDiNC7f17kd1mXjIBzWkdvKgAaGfAW6O-yKZpwpHi3yojQF79BgF512QjljqY1AxyAWVZb/s1600/RY+BEAUTY+LUX+SKINCARE+CATEGORY+FOREO+LUNA+MINI+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix4soIngGMbeD2P7I0Y5ax7fhAWHufrbVBaI6Lvys4tLnTiwWMDCG82BoEg1t7Emj5fPiJb3fDiNC7f17kd1mXjIBzWkdvKgAaGfAW6O-yKZpwpHi3yojQF79BgF512QjljqY1AxyAWVZb/s640/RY+BEAUTY+LUX+SKINCARE+CATEGORY+FOREO+LUNA+MINI+2.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If that wasn't enough to make it a clear winner in the brush cleansing world, here are some other awesome facts about the device. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<ul><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another big win for this device is that it is actually BUDGET FRIENDLY (in my eyes), once you purchase the brush you don't have to worry about repeatedly changing brush heads, especially if you want it to remain hygienic. Multiple brush heads every year add up to a massive extra cost on top of the device. </span></li>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></ul>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<ul><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love the small compact size of the brush. It is surprising how light it is as well, which is awesome when factoring in travel use. I also kept the clear hard plastic container if came in - I thought this would be perfect as a travel case. Although it would easily fit in a toiletry case.</span></li>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></ul>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<ul><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The device is USB chargeable (the only point I was a little unsure about at first). The battery life on this little guy is incredible. Foreo claims it should last 300 uses of a single charge (roughly every 5 months). I have been using it once daily for a little over 2 months now and it is still going strong. </span></li>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></ul>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<ul><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The brush head has 3 different zones for different cleansing requirements; Thinner touch-points gently cleanse sensitive and normal skin, Thicker touch-points for precision cleansing & also broader touch-points on the reverse side address oilier skin.</span></li>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></ul>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been really enjoying using the Foreo Luna mini 2. I trust the cleanliness of the product and appreciate the convenience of a longer battery life. I was able to notice a deep clean using this device whilst surprised at how gentle it was on my face. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, on to this month’s favourite finds. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">1. The Telomere Effect – This book discusses the aging process and how our individual lifestyle and psychological habits can slow disease and impove life. It is a really interesting concept and was co-authored by a Nobel Prize winner in the field of Telomerase. I definitely felt this was a very exciting book and concept, if anything it will at lease help us make better life choices which will hopefully lead to healthier and happier lives. (I am actually yet to finish the entire book) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Kirsty
Wirth – Kirsty has a really interesting story of how she cured her sons autism
through gut health. I first came across her via the Melissa Ambrosini Show. She
has a wealth of knowledge of all things wellness, with a major focus on gut
health. Something I am also very passionate about. You can check out her
website and blog for all sorts of info (<i>kulturedwellness.com).</i><cite><span style="color: #666666;"> </span></cite>Also
if you just do a quick google or podcast search of her name, the amount of
information which comes up is incredible.<cite><span style="color: #666666;"> </span></cite></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As with any collection launch at Lush, this years release does not disappoint, bringing back some old favourites and some extra new surprises. The collection will be available from March 23rd - April 27th, here are a few of the collection which I was lucky enough to receive. </span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Which Came First - $9.95 </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am super excited to use this bath both, as it is new to the easter collection this year & it contains a hidden egg (I am assuming) by the rattling. Obviously I cant shake it too much or I would ruin the surprise. I love the citrus scent of Sicilian lemon and grapefruit, it is really uplifting. </span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This bath bomb is also new to this years collection - and quite possibly my favourite ever bath bomb visually. It is comprised of 3 separate sections; the yellow (chicken), the blue (egg) and then a mini egg inside. What is actually really cool is that you could use this as 1, 2 or 3 bath bombs - so really bang for you buck. The sweet smell of bergamot is hard to miss, this oil is amazing for its calming and uplifting properties - seriously perfect for bath time relaxation after a stressful day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Chocolate Easter Egg - $6.95/100g</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am definitely not waiting until easter to tuck into this chocolate egg. I am usually not much of a soap bar person, I would rather opt for creams and gel, however I am excited to give this one a try. The scent is really something different, it is described as rich and creamy and that it is. With vanilla, citrus, coconut oil and cocoa butter - I can't see this soap disappointing. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The chocolate lip scrub is the latest addition to the cult favourite Lush lip scrub range. This delicious sugary scrub is an incredible combo of dark chocolate cocoa, tangerine and sweet orange oils - seriously lip licking worthy... and you can - like all Lush lip scrubs, this goodie is edible. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You may have seen these lipsticks online a little bit lately. I still wanted to share with you quickly some swatches and a really simple review. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Overall I actually love these lipsticks. When I first received them I was a little uncertain about a few of the colours but once I actually tried them on, I was pleasantly surprised. Just goes to show, stepping out of your comfort zone isn't that bad after all. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I really like the formula of them all, they didn't really differ from colour to colour like some lipsticks can. Some of the darker shades were slightly harder to work with but by using a lip brush and letting them warm on the lips, I found them to become very workable. Overall the formula is insanely buttery for a matte lipstick and I didn't find it bled on me at all, which is something I do struggle with. Also I cant not mention the smell - not sure, how or why but I love it - reminds me of raspberry lollies. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you are an avid beauty lover like me; and considering you
are reading this I am going to say – yes you are. Then you would have heard of
RY Beauty – <a href="http://ry.com.au/">ry.com.au</a> before. It is Australia’s largest Haircare & Skincare
online store AND they have just released a new category in their skincare range
of Luxe Skincare. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Luxe Skincare range features 24 highend, luxurious
brands. It is literally the cream of the skincare crop. I was lucky enough to receive
some incredible products to try from the Luxe Skincare range (and yes, I may
have cried with pure excitement when receiving this package). </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you are beyond excited and can’t possibly read on, click
<a href="http://www.ry.com.au/skincare-c-567/luxe-skincare.html" target="_blank">here</a> to check out the new range. I also have a special code, only valid for
March which gives you <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">10%</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">off –</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">SHANNON4RY</b>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have started using a few of the products received, I
obviously couldn’t start all at the same time as I wanted to know exactly how
each behaved with my skin – It is still early days, but please let me know if
you would like a further in detail review on any of the products below. </span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Elemis – Papaya Enzyme
Peel</span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have actually used this peel before and I love it. I
actually didn’t know how to repurchase it as it was gifted through a beauty
event. I am so happy I now know I can easily repurchase via <a href="http://ry.com.au/">RY.com.au</a>. It is a
cream exfoliator based on papaya, pineapple and bladderwrack which helps
improve the skin by refining, revitalising & smoothing. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">

Sleeping Pack</span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This product sounds really cool, I had never heard of it or
the brand previously. It uses new technology to help combat the signs of
fatigue. It does all the work whilst you sleep, because as we know this is when
the skin is actually the most receptive to ingredients. It is designed to help
the skin recover while you sleep, letting you wake up with improved and radiant
skin – sounds incredible. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">ASAP – DNA Renewal
Treatment</span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have used this brand before and experienced really good
results. What actually really excited me about this product was the mention of ‘Telomere
Protection’, as I am currently reading a book called ‘The Telomere Effect’. This
cream is using technology designed to aid in the protection and repair of DNA
damage – SERIOUSLY SO COOL. I can’t wait to start using this one, maybe before
& afters will be necessary. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pier Auge – Eye Gel PA
24</span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I absolutely LOVE French skin care! Pier Auge source only
the purest and finest ingredients and is suitable for all skin types and
conditions, using ingredients which are designed to exactly match the
composition of skin. Sounds really cool. I have been looking for a good eye gel
to add to my routine and this one sounds divine, aiding in the regeneration of
the delicate epidermis of the eyelids. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These two products are the two I instantly had to start
using, the look and feel so luxurious. I wish I could add a scratch and sniff
section to the blog, just so you could experience it! So far my skin is loving
both of these products, they feel like a winning combo. My skin is feeling beautifully
cleaned and the cream sinks into the skin really well. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have heard quite a lot about this device and was actually
very intrigued to try it. It is a ‘T-Sonic Cleansing Device’ and it is suited
for all skin types – however I would not recommend using on active acne. This
device claims to be ultra-hygienic, which is something I had concerns with when
using over cleansing devices – I can see how this could be more hygienic due to
the silicone brush. I also thought it was super awesome that one charge will
give you approx. 5 months of use. </span></div>

<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rosehip Oil has been around for a while now, it was one of those craze products which received a lot of hype. I am sure you were left wondering if it was really worth it and if you should be adding it into your skincare regime or not.</span></span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rosehip oil is a fruit oil that is extracted from the hip of the rose. It is the fruit which is actually left behind once the flower has bloomed and lost its petals. I do think a lot of people get this confused with Rose Essential Oil.</span></div>

<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I personally have struggled with my skin hydration levels & also a mild butterfly type rash for years. When it was first suggested that I try rosehip oil, I will admit – I thought there was no way a ‘simple oil’ would be able to fix either, let along both issues. I am so happy to be able to tell you, I WAS WRONG.</span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started by only applying 2-3 drops underneath my night time moisturiser every 2-3 nights. My skins appearance improved dramatically overnight. It appeared more supple and like my tired fine lines has been reduced. To be honest, my skin looked younger and healthier – I know big claims. With continued use I was really able to see a reduction in the redness on my cheeks. What set this oil apart from others for me was the light weight non-greasy consistency of it; I didn’t feel like a big shiny oil slick after applying. It is now a weekly necessity in my skincare routine.</span></div>

I will definitely have to give it a go on the weekends but it’s just not something I remember as I am happy enough with the affects from just night time use.</span></div>

First though, I thought I would share with you 5 things which I changed or
incorporated to help improve my overall skin health.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are loads of reasons as to why we should look after our skin, it is
after all our biggest organ & it does a mighty good job of keeping all of
our bits in where they should be. But also good skin helps to boost
self-confidence and in turn this makes us happier. Maintaining healthy skin
overall (as superficial as it sounds) improves the way we think and feel about
ourselves. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5 Tips For Healthier Looking Skin;</span></i></b></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><em><br /><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span></em></strong></div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1.Face
Mapping </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I think this is a bit of a forgotten art form. A lot of people I mention it
too respond with ‘What is that’, followed by a bit of an ‘a-hah’ moment. Face
Mapping is an ancient Chinese form of skin analysis. It is your bodies’ way of
letting you know and help you understand the reasoning behind the spots and
congestion. I have found by knowing what is going on and having a better
understanding behind my skin issues, I can then treat it better and I also feel
less down on myself about it. </span><br />

<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2. Invest
in good Skin Care</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am not saying go and spend a fortune on skin care, as there are definitely
some incredible products which are on the cheaper end. But listen to your body,
if you are using a cheaper cleanser and your face feels incredibly clean –
however you are still battling breakouts and oil problems. That cleanser
probably isn’t for you – it’s actually over cleansing and stripping your skin
of its natural necessary oils.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Keep it
Simple with Skin Care, but not simple as in cleanser and moisturiser. Simple in
the sense as focus on one or two skin care ranges. You will find brands create
products which work well together and you will get more benefit when using them
in conjunction with each other. For me, I have found the Skinstitut range has worked wonders with my skin and the large range of products helps me target specific problems and issues. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">3. Monitor
your Dairy </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Again this can also go back to face mapping point, but dairy products, including
milk & cheese contain growth hormones and can have an inflammatory affect which
actually clog your pores. If you can’t give up the cheese like me, definitely
try cutting back when it comes to that time of the month. I personally limit my
cheese intake and never drink milk. I notice a massive difference in my skin as
soon as I reduce my intake. </span><br />

after your Gut</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Having an excess amount of bad gut bacteria can lead to a number of
problems, one of them being acne. I take a number of tablets every morning and
one of them is a probiotic. I find this helps my body and in particular my gut
function better in so many ways. I have found two which I particularly like,
Polybac8<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>& Bio Ceuticals. </span><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">5. Make
the most of masking </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Be sure to not overdo it, I see a lot of people using masks daily or every second
day as they are not happy with how their skin is looking. I know we all can
love the feeling of a freshly exfoliated face, but over exfoliating can also
get rid of the healthy skin cells which act as a natural barrier. This could
also lead to hypersensitivity and excess oil to compensate. The same goes for
clay masks, these are only designed to be used 1-2 times a week. Using them any
more often can have as adverse effect and the benefits won’t be as noticeable. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">BONUS TIP: </b>Drink more water… now
this wouldn’t of been a skin post without mentioning drinking more water. I
keep a large bottle on my desk at work. It’s also easier to keep this on you on
weekends rather than buying water etc. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So I wanted to start a new series 'Health and Wellness Awareness' within my blog for two
reasons; </span></div>

It will keep me accountable – I will have no
excuse but to keep exploring and discovering new things</div>

I love to share these things I find with people </div>
</li>
</ol>
<div style="border-image: none; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am always on a journey with health and wellness; I love
learning and discovering new books, documentaries and things along those lines.
I want to be able to share with you each month a few of my new favourites which
I have come across. </span></div>
<div style="border-image: none; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Headspace -</strong> This is such a nifty little app for those
interested and wanting to learn how to meditate. All you need is 10 minutes, it
is best to pick a time you can stick to every day and the app will do the rest
for you. Personally I really enjoy the voice of Andy and the laid back
approach. It really helped me to stop over thinking it and to just sit back and
do… It really is meditation made simple.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="border-image: none; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Melissa Ambrosini Show -</strong> These are podcasts by the author of
‘Mastering your Mean Girl’. Melissa is a bit of a ‘self-help guru’ with a
series of Health, Wealth and Love interview style podcasts. I love the variety
and listening to other peoples thoughts and ideals. These interviews feel
really natural and genuine with content that helps spark your own thoughts. I
enjoy listening to this whilst I do mindless tasks like cleaning the house; I
find the content very uplifting. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When The Change Box contacted me and offered to send me their February box I was beyond excited. Not only was it a subscription service that I had never used before but it was truly a box with a difference. Each product within the box helps support a different cause or charity - seriously, how cool is that! All of the products that you receive are ethical, sustainable and plant based. </span></div>

The first event I wanted to talk about, was actually held by The Divine Company, for the launch of their newest collection – Divine Woman. (Mind you this event was held in November, so I am a little late on letting you know about this one)<br />

Managing Director of The Divine Company; it was fantastic to meet the heart and

always struggled with for my skin. I have been really enjoying this luxe
feeling mask, it is really creamy and dewy on the skin. The mask suggestions
leaving it on for 15-20minutes, however like with most hydration masks, I
choose to leave it on overnight. As I feel this gives me the best results.
After sleeping with this mask on, I wake up with my skin appearing softer and
hydrated.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">As some of you may be aware I have been experiencing some
changes in my skin over the past 4-5 months. At first I was a little confused
by the changes and couldn’t understand why all of a sudden I was experiencing
adult acne. I decided to make a few alterations to my skin care routine to
focus and improve the issues I was experiencing. If you would be interested in
a full skin care post, including some before and after photos please let me
know as I would be happy to share my experiences to date and what I have done
to help make a vast improvement. </span></div>
<div style="border-image: none; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Firstly I wanted to focus solely on two of my current big
loves in my skin care routine – my day and night creams. Both of these are from
Medik8 – I absolutely adore this brand; I love the new and exciting skin care
innovations which they continue to launch. I chose to keep my skin care routine
limited to a few brands. I found this has many benefits in itself, as we need
to understand each product and what its individual strengths are. I also don’t
want to be overlapping on certain ingredients, as this could lead to an
unnecessary high dose and a potential skin irritation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">My Experience: I adored the texture of this cream; it is
very light and feels extra hydrating on the skin. It doesn’t leave my skin
feeling sticky or anything either which is a nice added bonus. I found the
absorption rate was also really good with this cream, which is very handy on
those rushed mornings before work. I am also a big fan of anything that helps
incorporate additional hyaluronic acid into my skincare routine, as I have
struggled<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>with hydration levels for as
long as I can remember. The added boost helps to brighten and even my skin
tone. </span></div>

0.1% dosage (very gentle) which is gradually released through an innovative
‘time release’ process. This aids the practice for a slow delivery to into the
skin – this is what helps to ensure a more gentle approach and reduced
irritation. I would still suggest a gradual introduction of this cream into
your skin care routine to ensure the irritation from the retinol does not
occur. </span></div>

<br />
Asian Skincare is becoming more and more popular and it has definitely caught my attention. I am 110% sheet mask obsessed. Whilst on one of my sheet mask shopping trips, I saw this lip treatment which sparked my interest.<br />
<br />
<i>So what is it ? </i><br />
<br />
This cute oversized lip shaped lip mask includes cherry extract and is said to help achieve softer, plumper lips. The gel factor is also said to help cool and revitalise your lips.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<i>Where to purchase?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
I picked mine up from W Cosmetics for $2.95 but I am sure any Asian/Korean Cosmetics store would stock them.<br />
<br />
<i>My Experience... </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
I loved the packaging and the concept of this lip mask, although wearing something across my lips for 10-20minutes did feel a little strange. I would suggest laying down (seems logical right) whilst doing this lip mask. I was trying to take photos and found it would slip around and slide down my face a little bit.<br />
<br />
There was plenty of serum in the packet, hence the slip and slide situation. I would suggest patting in excess into your lips and surrounding mouth to help with the hydration and plumping effect.<br />
<br />
Overall I found the lip mask to be semi hydrating, however I didn't notice any plumping effect. I am not sure if I would repurchase. It was extremely affordable but I do think there are other products which are just as effective for hydration and can be applied whenever and where ever. These would be a cool addition to a girls night in, I am sure lots of laughs and funny photos would result.<br />
<br />
Let me know if you have tried these before or any other intriguing Asian Skincare?<br />

<br />
I wasn't even sure if I should post this one - the 18th is hardly the start of the month. Regardless I thought, I would post it. I promise the next favourites wont be as late.<br />
<br />
I have been focusing a lot on my skin lately, so this post is very skin care heavy. Lets not waste any more time and jump straight into my June Favourites.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Skinstitut Hydrating Mask</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
During winter my skin cant soak up enough hydration. This mask is an amazing addition to my skincare/winter hydration routine. (Comment below if you would like to hear more about my hydration routine) This mask is designed to be left on for 10minutes, but like with any mask - I generally leave it on for longer, maybe 20minutes. On weekends I will even wear this for much longer, whilst cleaning the house etc. I love the soft hydrated feeling it gives my skin.</div>

<b>Ren Moroccan Rose Gold Glow Perfect Dry Oil</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Another winter skin saviour. My skin overall struggles during the cooler months, especially my legs. This can make shaving a horrible task, leaving them in a lot of pain. I have tried normal moisturisers but have found this oil works a lot quicker and better. I generally use this over my entire body before bed. It is absorbed very quickly and doesn't leave my skin feeling oily or sticky. I absolutely adore the smell, I am a bit fan of anything rose scented. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Tarte Marajuca Oil </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have become a big lover of face oils, I even wrote a post about them <a href="http://shannongibb.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/beauty-oils.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I picked this up in a travel size and it has quickly shot to the top of my favourites list. It leaves my skin feeling so soft and radiant, it also works wonders with my hydration issues - added bonus. I have heard it is also wonderful on your hair, but I cant bring myself to use it on my hair when it is so wonderful on my face. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Trilogy Age Proof Active Enzyme Cleansing Cream* </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This cream cleanser is very nutrient/enzyme/antioxidant rich, it feels very luxurious to use. I use this cleanser in the mornings only, I like the way it makes my skin feel cleansed and fresh without that dry tight feeling. I also feel like it feels smoother and plumper when I use it. I use this in the morning only as while I do feel it works well to remove dirt and grime, I am not confident with using only it of an evening after a day of wearing full make up. </div>

<b>Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Face Peel Pads</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These were reconmended by one of my beauty friends, Brii Wright! I can not thank her enough. These little sachets pack a lot of punch. I was a little hesitant when I first heard about them but after my first use I was hooked. I bought the 5 pack as a little tester, I will definitely be repurchasing. I will be putting out a full review on these gems.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And thanks to Mel from loadsoflifestyle (check out her blog <a href="http://www.loadsoflifestyle.com/" target="_blank">here</a>) I have a full blown sheet mask addiction. I have been shopping up a storm at w cosmetics and sampling a wide range. I don't have a bad thing to say about sheet masking, other than the obvious creepy appearance of them. I have been trying many kinds, for detox, hydration, collagen boosting etc and I just love the feel of my skin post sheet mask. I tend to sheet mask around twice a week and always massage in any excess into my skin. Never waste a drop of that goodness.</div>

<b>Too Faced Born This Way Foundation</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I picked up this foundation in Light Beige. At first I wasn't a massive fan of how it applied to my face, I think this was because I applied way to much and didn't buff it enough. For me this is a medium to full coverage and a little goes a long way. I start small and then build the coverage depending on what I am doing or how I am feeling. I find I need to work the product to make sure it melts well into my skin but after that it wears really well and I am left with a flawless finish.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I finally jumped on the bandwagon and I understood the hype of this product. I am not a big baker but when I do this is definitely my go to product. I love how it sits on my skin and doesn't distort the colour of the products it is being applied to. </div>

I am not one to jump on the Kardashian/Jenner bang wagons but I was definitely impressed by these two colours. I haven't really checked out any other colours as my friend Kate (check out her blog <a href="http://www.themintedblog.com/" target="_blank">here</a>) picked these up for me at her local Chemist Warehouse. I got the colours Karamel & Kreme de la Kreme. I love the metallic look of these polishes. They apply beautifully and wear really well. They are meant to be bought in a two step process, however I use my Sally Hansen Gel Miracle top coat as the second step and find I have great results. </div>

Following on from my ‘Making a Change’ blog post, I thought I would share with you some of my favourite ‘health/wellness documentaries<br />
’. I am slightly obsessed with these videos and could spend days, maybe weeks even caught up and researching the issues they bring up.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

For me and many others, education is power – and in a day where everyone seems to be looking at quick fixes and fad diets – I feel a lot of people need to get back to basics and re-educate themselves on how to eat and what is truly healthy.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

This is definitely a topic I am quite passionate about and I am seeing more issues with how today’s society approaches health and wellness.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

To help bridge the education gap, I thought I would share with you all my TOP 5 health & wellness documentaries. Each of these documentaries left me feeling inspired, asking questions and wanting more. </div>

<b>5. Vegucated </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This isn't so much about health and nutrition as a whole but solely focused on veganism. It follows the journey and discovery of 3 Americans from eating a 'normal' diet and being very closed off to the option of veganism. I liked that this was pushing the plant based agenda, demonstrating that we can eat and achieve the same results without including food products. Warning this documentary is graphic at times.<br />

<b>4. Fed Up</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
One of the older documentaries, it has lots of solid great information, however it is not as punchy or as engaging as many of the others. I think this is possibly due to it being produced in 2002.<br />

One of the first of these types of documentaries I watched which really cemented what I thought and helped open my eyes even further. I guess this fuelled my desire to know more, learn more and make better smarter decisions. - 'Warning' - this may turn you vegan - not that that would be a bad thing! </div>

<b>1. That sugar Film</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This is easily my favourite health documentary EVER. I don't feel I learnt anything massive from it as I have seen others and done so much research, but the way this video was put together was really punchy. It really left its mark, everyone I refer this video too absolutely loves it as well.<br />

Using oils as part of your beauty regime can seem like a pretty daunting thought. It can be an even harder concept to grasp that when it comes to your skin, oils are not just oils. They can actually be some of the best way to combat skin issues and actually nourish your skin.<br />
<br />
I have been incorporating oils into my daily skincare routine and am loving the results.<br />
<br />
Benefits of using oils include;<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>They are amazing for dry skin. </li>
<li>They help to protect your skin, keeping the good stuff (moisture etc) in and the bad stuff out!</li>
<li>They help calm irritated skin. </li>
<li>They can be great for acne (tea tree for example) - and no face oils wont give you acne. </li>
</ul>
<br />

<b><i>What are some of your favourite face oils?</i></b><br />

<b><i>Leave me a comment, I would love to know!</i></b></div>

This quote resinated with me a lot.<br />
<br />
I have read a lot of books, done a lot of research and learnt a lot during my very active teens - I preach so much good advice, yet I can be the worst to follow this good advice. So given I have all this knowledge, why is it I don't follow through? For me it is time.<br />
<br />
To try and get a hold of my health and wellbeing again, I have set myself a few short term goals. I also have been looking into prepackaged meal options. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I have set 5 goals and I will reassess in 30 days.<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Lemon in 500ml of water every morning when I first wake up. </li>
<li>Lunch time walks around the river. </li>
<li>Attend yoga 2-3 times a week (in addition to pilates). </li>
<li>Eat healthy, wholesome food.</li>
<li>Eat vegetarian, gluten free again. </li>
</ol>
<div>
As I mentioned, I have been looking into prepackaged meal options to help with my goals and my time issue. I recently offered the chance to try out <a href="http://wholesomeness.com.au/" target="_blank">Wholesomeness Foods</a>, I was very excited as this was the kick start I was looking for. </div>

<div>
There was a decent amount of meals available on the website, including fresh options, freezable winter meals and juices. I picked 5 meals and arranged to pick them up from the grange store. Delivery is only $14 and in the future I would opt for that option instead. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The meals I chose; each were $9.95.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. Lemongrass Chicken with Coconut Cauliflower Rice</div>
<div>
2. Roast Mushroom with Bazil Nut Pesto, Vegetable Quinoa Pilaf</div>
<div>
3. Frittata with Potato, Red Capsicum and Spinach </div>
<div>
4. Pumpkin Cashew Curry with Cauliflower Rice</div>
<div>
5. Mexican Black Beans with Herbed Polenta </div>

Overall I enjoyed the convenience of packaged meals but I can be quite a picky eater so I'm not sure if it really is for me. Wholesomeness do offer a good variety of vegan, gluten free & dairy free options which I really appreciated. Also all meals are broken down into macros which is very handy.</div>

Now I realise I have been pretty slack with posting on the blog the last few months. But let me explain...<br />
<br />
My partner Matthew & I started the year with one resolution/goal in mind.. to buy a house. And we kicked the year off with a bang and bought two! ..Well not quite - but we went to offer on one & after receiving a horrifying building & pest report we had to get out of that contract. Only to find our true dream home 2 weeks later. Things really do happy for a reason.<br />
<br />
So it has been a whirl wind and stressful few months of cancelling contracts, an auction we couldn't bid at and finally purchasing our home after a multi offer situation. We are just so happy that everything went the way it did.<br />
<br />

We officially moved house mid February & are starting to settle into our new home, including finches, hens & bees. (Yup - it came with all of these)<br />
<br />
We purchased a half acre in south Brisbane, we were super lucky to find such a gem as these size blocks don't come up too often.<br />
<br />
We have been doing a lot of garden/outdoor work to make it our own and get it to how we want it. We finally were able to put all of our potted fruit trees into the ground which was an amazing feeling! (FINALLY - What started out as 2 potted herb gardens on an apartment verandah, quickly grew into 2 herb gardens, a veggie patch and 10 fruit trees - Our love for gardening was born) In our first weekend alone we removed over 300kg of green garden waste from the front portion of the block - so we really have been busy.<br />
<br />
I like to think of us now as urban farmers, but we have a lot to learn & I would like to take you along with us. That includes all of the renovations, outdoor transformations and our journey to becoming somewhat self sufficient. All of which I am hoping to include more of on my blog.<br />
<br />
I will still be doing my normal beauty posts, but I would like to expand more on the lifestyle posts as we travel through this exciting time.<br />
<br />
Talk Soon, S x.<br />
<br />
Ps. If anyone has any suggestions on how to help Captain get along with the chickens, it would be greatly appreciated.<br />
