Back in Action!

I've been missing in action for quite some time, due to my entry into the tech environment the past two years.

I'll be working on some new projects related to health, beauty, home decor, and fitness for you all very soon!

Here is a home project that I'll be working on - stay tuned!

Coobie Bras Review

With everything that is going on in my life right now, one of the most important aspects of life to me is my comfort. Even when my days are 14-16 hours long, I still manage to remain comfortable, thanks to Coobie!

California's Great America Theme Park

Every summer, I take my family to visit Great America. You just can't have a summer without the fun rides and theme park memories! 

Luckily, we live in the bay area and we can visit as much as we want. Whether you're a Northern California resident, or visiting for the summer, check out this great deal on tickets!

The Grizzly (wooden ride pictured above) is actually one of my favorite rides at Great America! Other rides include Gold Striker, which is the tallest and fastest wooden roller coaster in Norcal. The Gold Striker has the longest initial descent tunnel on any coaster!

 Aerial Ice Extreme (as seen on Season 8 of America's Got Talent) is a brand-new, high-energy, aerial, stunt and ice show with an incredible cast of ice skaters and acrobat gymnasts! 

Here's another cool thing about California's Great America - it is the only theme park in California to offer a complete water park inside - free with park admission, known as Boomerang Bay. 

In the fall, Great America transforms into an amazingly fun Halloween extravaganza featuring 8 mazes, ghoulish monsters, 3 scare zones and shows. The 100-acre theme park is located on Great America Parkway between highways 101 and 237 in Santa Clara, CA. 

The park is open daily now through August 16, and each weekend throughout November. 

Score a great deal with the online Family Four Pack (tickets for just $37.99 each)

Nature's Best Vitamin C Serum Review

This month I wanted to test out several vitamin c serums since my skin has responded really well to them. I wanted to share a serum I've been using by Nature's Best Vitamin C serum. It's useful to get these serums in a dropper bottle so you can control the amount that you're using, as opposed to a pump or squeeze bottle. 

Nature's Best serum is formulated to stimulate collagen and helps with fine lines and wrinkles. I noticed that in the last few years, my face products were not helping my skin's elasticity and firmness, so I wanted something that would target those issues as well.

Superior Source Vitamins Family Pack Review

I had the chance to try the Superior Source vitamins family pack this past month and loved how easy they were to use. Their vitamins instantly dissolve, with no pills to swallow. You simply place the vitamin on or under your tongue, and voila! The vitamin is absorbed right away.

Superior Source included the following in their family pack:

• B12
• Vitamin D
• Biotin
• Vitamin C sour cherry melts
• Children’s Vitamin B complex
• Iron

These are all important for our health. Whether it’s to maintain our immune system, energy levels, or overall health, these easy to use vitamins take just seconds to dissolve and helps us with a maintenance regime.

I've been very low on Vitamin D for the last few years, and I don't enjoy swallowing pills everyday. These vitamins have helped me increase my vitamin levels without having to drastically change my ways. This is quite simply the easiest way to get your daily dose of vitamins and supplements without the hassle.

I would highly recommend Superior Source, especially if you or a loved one isn’t fond of traditional vitamins in pill form. The sour cherry melts are a delicious way to get your daily dose of Vitamin C! Check them out and see the other products they have available for you and the family.

TruSkin Naturals Vitamin C Serum Review

I’ve been looking into the quality of Vitamin C serums, and the percentage amount that would be most effective for your skin. Vitamin C is a great way to hydrate and moisturize your skin, and it has wonderful anti-aging properties. I’ve also seen articles on hyaluronic acid and the multiple benefits of including it in your skin regimen. When I came across TruSkin Naturals’ Vitamin C with Hyaluronic Acid combination, I was really excited to try it!

When it comes to skin care products that will benefit your skin, I like products that can target multiple issues. This combination of both Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid means you are getting your money’s worth and will be nourishing your skin with quality products.
