SCHIQUE Skincare Unlocks the Anti-Aging Power of Dandelion Extract

April 1, 2017

Schique

We are excited about a new doctor-branded anti-aging skincare line called Schique. The products utilize the unique power of Dandelion Extract to nourish skin back to vitality. Schique was created by Beverly Hills-based Dr. Jacqueline Schaffer, who was motivated to create a healthy, nutrient-rich product line after witnessing her mother’s two-time battle with skin cancer. 

Usually we test a product for at least 4 weeks to see how it works with us…Truth, we just started with the line this week, but we are so excited about – we couldn’t wait to get it up on the blog. So far, so amazing!  More soon!!

Schique Skincare is devoted to making natural anti-aging products with intelligent ingredients derived from powerful peptides and anti-oxidants, Vitamins C and E, as well as rich fruit, and plant extracts – especially the natural pollution shield from dandelions. The company believes that understanding the high-quality, effective ingredients of the product line helps customers expand their “Skin IQ” while appreciating and falling in love with the way it feels on their skin.

All Schique Skincare is Paraben-free, sulfate-free, cruelty-free, gluten-free, silicon-free. They include 100% natural fragrances and essential oils and are proudly made in the USA. To learn more about Schique, please visit http://www.schique.com.

FYI…their Intuitive Restoration Renewing Mask is sheer heaven in a jar (it contains exfoliating unispheres from Switzerland that burst and turn the mask blue when you apply it onto your skin, leaving your face smooth, hydrated and lifted). Celebrity fans include Olivia Culpo and Jeannie Mai.

March 30, 2017

New protein cookies deliver protein punch and great taste

I’ve been downing protein cookies for ages and always on the hunt for the next great one. – and YES – i give them to my kids.

Introducing… Whey 2 Be!® protein cookies.

Whey 2 Be! cookies are actually baked for a straight-from-the-cookie-jar flavor. The Chocolate Chip tastes the most like cookie dough. 

This one features the nutrient-powerhouse whey protein – which in studies has been associated with a myriad of health benefits including better mood, healthier immune system and even cancer-fighting properties.  And, high protein can mean a cookie with a dry consistency and less than ideal taste.  Whey 2 Be! is different.  Not only does it feature high-quality whey protein, but it is truly a gourmet cookie with a smooth texture and absolutely delicious flavor. They taste pretty much like real cookies! 

Whey 2 Be! cookies are made with aromatic extracts and spices, natural sugars, real chocolate, coconut oil and steel cut oats.

Whey 2 Be! Protein Cookies are available in 3.25 ounce grab and go packages.  They are available online as well as at select retail locations nationwide.

For more information about or to purchase Whey 2 Be! Protein Cookies, please visit whey2be.com. To stay up to date on other news and information from Whey 2 Be! like the company’s Facebook page, and follow Whey 2 Be! on Instagram.

My TULA Loves (Hint: the Multi-Spectrum Eye Renewal Serum)

March 28, 2017

TULA – the Multi-Spectrum Eye Renewal Serum. Just one of my faves from this line!

 

WHAT:  This 360-degree eye serum instantly blurs, smooths and relaxes fine lines and crow’s feet, as well as soothes and reduces the appearance of puffiness under the eyes. It is formulated with a proprietary blend of two probiotic strains that are clinically proven to stimulate cell renewal and strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier. Lactococcus ferment lysate improves skin density and accelerates skin renewal by increasing the production of antimicrobial peptides, while anti-inflammatory micrococcus lysate decreases puffiness and reduces redness.

Retinol, golden chamomile, caffeine and botanical actives also help erase dark circles, lift sagging lids and firm unsightly under-eye bags. The serum’s cooling metal tip works instantly to soothe tired eyes.
