Squeeworthy: Clinique’s Moisture Surge CC Cream

I can’t get enough of Clinique’s new moisture surge CC cream. It’s an instant complexion perfector designed to enhance skin’s natural radiance while leaving it hydrated and protected with SPF 30. I’ve been using it for the past week and it is my new favorite beauty product. Why? Well, my job requires me to drive all around the city of Miami working with children. That means a full face of makeup is just not practical, but at the same time, I want to look presentable. The CC cream helps neutralize my blotchy redness and leaves it more radiant and dewy (without looking greasy).  Plus, it keeps my ridiculously fair skin not only protected, but also healthy due to its antioxidants, such as Vitamin E.

But a picture is worth a thousand words, right? I decided to be fearless and post a picture of myself with a completely bare face right after a shower to illustrate how great the improvement was when I used CC cream;

Amazing, right? If you are as impressed as I am, mark your calendars ladies! This new product launches next month in April.

Melificent disclosure: Company provided me with the product in return for review above. However, all opinions are my own.

Squeeworthy: Travalo

The Travalo caught my eye after I heard of this fantastic product from a local South Florida blogger. It seemed like the perfect item for me to try out as I was stressing as to how I was going to transport my fragrance(s) on our trip to Europe. I thought this was such a genius idea! The itty bitty Travalo is a refillable perfume atomizer that is airline approved, which means smooth sailing through security checks. Just pick your favorite fragrance, in my case, Ms. Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B., and twist off the pump in order to attach the bottom of the Travelo to it.

Sprightly: ShoeDazzle Review

I know I had already done a review for the ShoeDazzle service back when I received my first pair, but since I’ve been a member on the site for several months now, I thought my opinion would be more valuable this time around. I have to say that I have been pretty happy with the site. The older I get, the less time I want to spend in malls dealing with large quantities of frustrating people, so the fact that I can order a new pair of affordable and adorable shoes with just one click is so appealing. Plus, I was able to make some adjustments to my showroom and now am receiving way more fun selections, which was one of my main gripes.

Squeeworthy: Soft Watches

Watches are one of those accessories I love hoarding. You wouldn’t know it lately though, since I have been watch-less for several months. All my watches decided to poop out on me and I’ve been too lazy to replace their batteries, so I’ve been functioning without a watch for entirely too long. I tried to remedy the situation by finally getting my beautiful Betsey Johnson watch fitted, but was frustrated to find that not every jewelry store fixes products they don’t sell (annoying).

But then (!) I discovered a lovely website named Deal Pulp. Ladies, I totally recommend joining. Sure, it’s another one of those sale sites, but what I like about Deal Pulp is that it focuses mainly on accessories, and gives you promo codes for existing webstores or selects several items from one to feature at a (much) lower price on a daily basis. While perusing one of their daily emails featuring these deals, I saw one for Soft Watches! Those of you that follow me on Pinterest know that I had pinned these fun & simple watches to my wish list board. Wish, no longer!

Squeeworthy: ZICO Coconut Water

The great people of ZICO coconut water were nice enough to send me a variety pack last week of their delicious and refreshing product to review and share with all of you lovely readers, and I was more than willing to do just that! ZICO is an all-natural beverage that has the 5 essential electrolytes. Do you know that ZICO coconut water has more potassium than a banana and 15 times the potassium of a typical sports drink? It’s also more hydrating than water and has zero fat, cholesterol or added sugar. And it’s my new favorite (non-alcoholic) drink of the summer!
