I Wanna Review: OZ Naturals' Vitamin C Serum

I’ve been on this crazy health kick lately.  The kind that has led me  to scour health food stores and the interwebs for organic and toxic free products.  It’s no secret that beauty products can often contain harsh toxins that can lead to serious health issues down the line. So like any beauty lover I've become a manic trying to find healthy alternatives. So you can imagine my excitement when I was selected to review OZ Naturals’ Vitamin C Serum, a natural skincare product.  OZ Naturals is a brand dedicated to natural skincare.  Their products are cruelty-free, paraben free, sulfate free, mineral oil free, lanolin free and gluten free.  The Vitamin C Serum promises to brighten skin for a youth glow, fade dark spots and will even out skin tone and texture.

The liquid solution (the product didn’t have an oily consistency like I thought) went on really smooth and dried quickly after applying to my freshly washed face.  This made it very easy to layer on any moisturizer or SPF afterwards.  And for those of you wondering about scents, not to worry the serum has no scent at all.  All in all I did love the glow that I received after using the serum but I didn't see much of difference on my dark spots.  Retailing at 22.00 – 25.00  dollars depending on where you purchase, this product is a bit on the pricey side. I guess that’s the price you pay for natural beauty.

I Wanna Celebrate: Mother's Day

Hey Boo Thangs!  I think we can all agree that every Mother deserves to be celebrated year round but someone had the bright idea to squeeze the celebration of mothers into one day and call it, well what else, Mother’s Day.  Now I love my Mom to pieces but the thought of Mother's Day always gets an epic eye roll from me because of my poor gift hunting skills.   I am the absolute worst when it comes to picking out gifts and I never know what to get my Mom.  So in the end I always resort to the rushed gift.You know, the kind of gift you had no plans on giving someone but in a panic it’s the best you can come up with.  This year I've started the hunt early (well sort of) in search of the best Mother’s Day Gift ever.

That’s where Uncommon Goods come in. Uncommon Goods is an online privately owned retailer that features lots of unique designs and handcrafted gifts that are perfect for Mothers. Tucked away in the heart of Brooklyn, NY (Where Brooklyn at?), The Brooklyn retailer prides itself on carrying collections that incorporate recycled materials all at reasonable price points.  I received one of Uncommon Goods’ popular handmade items, The Precious Dipped Lace Heart Necklace to test out.  The beautiful necklace is handmade by designers Tulianna and Alejandra Garces. The Gold, Copper and Lace piece is a great choice for the Mom who would love something that is simple yet romantic.  For more  Gift Ideas like this please visit Uncommon Goods here and when you are done with that make sure to enter into the giveaway below. That’s right one of you lucky boo thangs will be the owner of this Precious Dipped Laced Heart Necklace and a $25 Gift Certificate from Uncommon Goods. Check all the deets below.
