This serum is not at all greasy and didn't irritate my skin that occasionally reacts with rosacea to new products. This feels like a nice base under my moisturizer and sunscreen, whereas many serums are just plain greasy which I don't like at all!
I haven't yet been using this a week, so I'm not sure if I've had enough time to really gauge whether it's made a difference with lines, dryness etc. I do think my skin has better texture from this and I am looking forward to seeing the results in a few weeks.
I find Nivea always gives great value for your money. In my gift box I was given a small tin of the classic Nivea creme and my boyfriend was also using it for his winter dry skin. He commented on how nice it was to use an old standby we both knew, so I went and bought the larger jar!

NIVEA Pearly Shine Lip Balm
I LOVE this! It's a very soft color and I normally don't like pale lipsticks, but I thought this made me look very glowy after my workout. :-) Even my BF noticed! It's a great gloss/balm on its own and I do need a good one with my poor, dry winter... +
I LOVE this! It's a very soft color and I normally don't like pale lipsticks, but I thought this made me look very glowy after my workout. :-) Even my BF noticed! It's a great gloss/balm on its own and I do need a good one with my poor, dry winter lips. This really does the job, but I'm really surprised at the pretty color and shine. This could be my new day lipstick, instead of my usual lipstick with gloss on top. -

I just received my Nivea Box the other day and am loving it! In particular, the body lotion is simply divine. Like most people at this time of year, my skin is very dry and I actually had little bumps which I am sure was from excessive dryness. I tried loofah gloves and usually forgot to apply lotion after my shower, but even when I remembered, I was still very dry, especially after working out and showering. With the Nivea, it's right there in the shower and you use it after washing. Apply, rinse off and that's it! I am shocked at how silky my skin is from just a few days and no more bumps. The scent is gentle and my BF loves it too. I simply love this because it works brilliantly and is easy to use and is not greasy at all. I will definitely buy this when we run out. -
Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars - Cranberry with Blackberry

I didn't love the taste of this one as much as the other two, but that's because I'm not a huge fan of cranberry & blackberry. I prefer sweeter. However, one thing I loved about all these fruit & nut bars is they had a thin layer of chocolate on the bottom which made them (to me) better than a regular energy bar and not as sweet or as sinful as a chocolate bar. Perfect combination with the chocolate!! -
Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars - Cherry with Pomegranate
Love love loved this one! So sweet and yummy and crunchy. It was very rich and I kept it in my purse and had nibbles before my workout and after with a few bites for later. RICH and DELICIOUS!

Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars - Blueberry with Acai
I am very allergic to wheat, so usually buy Gluten Free but typically find it difficult to find good tasting fruit & nut bars. These were a delicious surprise and the acai was surprisingly sweet!

Nutrience Grain Free SubZero Cat Food

Our home has four cats, ranging in age from two to ten years of age. Momo is a purebred Siamese, Colette and Simone are half tabby and half Siamese sisters, and Leo looks like a black panther (and thinks he is, being the only male!). I was concerned introducing new food because that can always be problematic and Leo seems to have digestive problems. I didn't know how to manage introducing the new food because they all tend to eat each others foods, no matter how hard we try to keep their meals separate!
The fact that Leo attacked the box before we even opened it was a good sign! :-) Then when we did open it, the 4 of them stood around the bag like sentries. They were very excited indeed!
I started by giving them a few as treats - they loved them. I then mixed it in with their other dry food and no probs with any of the cats. Not only did they seem to love the food, but there were no "bad smells" from the litter box which is very unusual for Leo (sorry Leo! :-) I have always thought he might be allergic to grain and I think he's doing so well because this food is grain-free.
Over the course of the last 2 weeks I have switched them completely to this new dry and they really love it. It looks more substantial than the usual dry food and they seem to eat less and I think it's because it's not "light" (looking), like so many commercial dry foods.
While this is pricier, I do think it's worth it because I not only think it's healthier, but they definitely eat less. It LOOKS healthier than the usual dry food. I definitely plan to buy it when we run out.

I received this as a bonus gift with the Idealia Skin Sleep (which I absolutely loved and wrote about separately)
And since it was supposed to transform my skin in 8 days, I gave it longer because I wasn't feeling the "transform"!
I didn't feel this did what it claimed - especially give me "Rested features" - but, it was a lovely moisturizer and boosted the Skin Sleep. Used together, they were a nice combo and I liked it for that reason. I didn't notice transformative changes the way I did with the Skin Sleep and don't feel the serum lived up to its claims.
It's a lovely light moisturizer and would probably work great for young skin. I'm 44 but on cortisone and that makes my skin dry and thin, so I need pretty powerful stuff, like the Skin Sleep.
