And wonderful! * Home * Articles and Reviews * Twitter Parties * PR * Current Giveaways * Spring Cleaning Series REFRESH AND RENEW YOUR GLOW WITH HYAESTIC 0,5% PURE RETINOL November 13, 2024 By Debra Pearlstein Sharing is caring! * Post * Share * Pin * Mail * Share I’ve always believed that beauty is not how we look, but, how we feel. It is from within, not without. With that in mind, for me, beauty means health, well-being and a natural glow. I was excited to try products from Hyaestic because they are rooted in scientific expertise and are advanced in their formulation and their efficacy. With their carefully selected active ingredients, the full potential of your skin becomes available. What I love is that they seem to share my view in that everyone deserves to feel their best, and that their skincare solutions promote not only amazing skin health, but also an overall sense of wellbeing. They encourage love and self-care, which I’m all about. Their products are about empowering us to embrace our own unique beauty. Let’s face it. The world is stressful enough! So, why not choose products that help you nurture yourself and simply target whatever is in your way. I actually had never tried Retinol products so that was one I really wanted to check out. Starting an anti-aging routine early on can help enhance our beauty and how we feel, which is really what matters. I definitely picked the right product, Hyaestic 0,5% Pure Retinol. This formula contains nutrients that help prevent the aging process of the skin, increase collagen production, improve skin firmness, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and diminish dullness for a more even skin tone. I really wasn’t sure what to expect, so, of course I tried a small amount first. The directions clearly state: Apply a small amount to the face and neck every evening. If a retinol product has never been used before, begin twice a week 2-3 days apart, increasing frequency slowly until daily use is tolerated. Caution: Do not use if you are pregnant, lactating or planning to become pregnant I was actually thrilled to find out that this retinol was actually very gentle on my skin. I had no issues whatsoever with it and it felt good from Day One, and I use it daily. The packaging is simple yet perfect. The formula came out easily and was just the right amount. Applied to my face, it felt soothing and hydrating. I noticed immediately that my skin looked smoother, healthier and younger. It was glowing. I have tried a lot of skincare products, but, I am seriously so impressed with this one that I want to try more of the products in the line that apply to my skincare concerns. You can check them out here! My skin felt damaged and dry before, but, this pure retinol repairs and protects it, stimulating the renewal of skin cells and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It can even help treat acne and shrink pores, reduce pigmentation and even skin tone and any rough texture you might have. It would perfectly complement most anti-aging routines. Here are the key ingredients: 0.5% pure, stabilized Retinol along with Hyaluronic Acid which synergistically intensifies the skin’s hydrating matrix for a firmer look. Vitamin E serves as a potent antioxidant. It targets the skin’s hydrating matrix to reduce the look of fine lines and coarse wrinkles. It also contains a humectant Sodium Hyaluronate and calming Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract (which I love!) I am at a point in my life where it is out with the old and in with the new. I am moving on from what doesn’t work in my life and trying new solutions. Stepping forward unafraid is where I am at. With that in mind this product is ideal. It helps renew skin cells and leaves my skin glowing! And, as, I said at the very beginning of this entry, it’s all about how YOU feel. You aren’t doing this for anyone else, because there is no one else you really need to please. Loving and caring for myself has helped my life fall into place and made me so much happier.

Sharing is caring! * Post * Share * Pin * Mail * Share DOWNLOAD, PLAY, & WIN WITH SUPER SQUARES! November 1, 2021 By Debra Pearlstein 13 Comments Sharing is caring! * Post * Share * Pin * Mail * Share This post is sponsored by Sivan Social. All comments and opinions are my own. Being from the Boston area, I grew up loving sports and always watched with my Dad. Whether it was the Red Sox (his favorite), the Celtics, the Bruins or the Pats, the moments we spent together rooting our teams on are so special and meaningful to me. As I got older and had my own family, we continued those traditions. The kids were all involved in playing sports, and going to their games was another family highlight. So, when it comes to NFL season, we always had gatherings at our home for family and friends including everyone’s favorite drinks, appetizers and pizza. The lucky shirts and hats came out, and, even when Tom Brady left, our passion for our team was still as strong as ever. He gave us some great seasons for sure. I recently found a new fun game show app called Super Squares that can earn football fans rewards for making predictions on games and watching some commercials. It’s free and simple to set up and you can get it from The App Store or Google Play where it’s available to US and Canada residents 21 and older. Check this out: There’s over $2.2 million in cash and prizes up for grabs! Super Squares is all about live football, so before the games start, you submit your predictions on the upcoming game, i.e. the final score and the amount of passing yards. During commercial breaks, the app shows you ads and you can get more points for rating and answering correct questions about them. You can also have your friends and family sign up and list you as their “Buddy” and when they win, you win! Exclusive Opportunity: Valpak VIPs can win even more on Monday nights starting 11/22 with exclusive prizes; so look for your Valpak envelope and enter your unique “VIP Code” from the envelope above your address. You could win an extra $20,000 weekly prize. How cool is that!

Sharing is caring! * Post * Share * Pin * Mail * Share NEW HOME BUYING TIPS IN A CRAZY MARKET June 29, 2021 By Debra Pearlstein 10 Comments Sharing is caring! * Post * Share * Pin * Mail * Share Find Your Dream Home Who would have ever imagined the year we’ve had! In 2020, we went from mild worry to full-blown crisis in short time. I still remember the week it all went south. I had been more active than usual and was taking charge of things more regarding my health, work and overall life balance. Then, it all came to a halt. While all of us tried to make sense out of any of it, one thing became clear. Things had changed radically, and, with them, priorities and values, and we learned what was most important to us. One of my family members had always been enthralled with living in Manhattan. She thrived on being surrounded by museums, Broadway shows and fabulous restaurants open even at 3 in the morning. She worked hard and enjoyed it, even starting her own company. When the pandemic came, however, the first thought on her and many others’ minds were to get out of the city. She and her family had already been affected by COVID and they did not want to push their luck any further. Luckily, they had a home in the Hamptons, so they did have the ability to pick up and go to a calmer climate. Not everyone has that opportunity. In any case, the Pandemic has more people re-evaluating their spaces and what is important to them. For many, it can mean buying their first home. But, what an unusual time to buy. The Housing Market is crazy right now! Even the rental market is insane. According to HomeBuyingInstitute.com: “In some of the hottest housing markets across the U.S., more than half of all homes sold go for more than the list price. Example: In April of 2021, Austin, Denver and Sacramento all had at least 70% of homes selling above the original list price. Talk about a seller’s paradise.“ It’s truly a seller’s market right now and most new home buyers don’t have the luxury of selling a previous home, so they often use a mortgage loan to finance their purchase. According to CNNBusiness: The increase in home prices is stunning. “Nationwide, house prices are up double digits over the past year, and this comes after a decade of solid price gains since the housing market bottomed in the aftermath of the financial crisis. Indeed, the median existing home price — half of homes sold for more and half for less — is closing in on $350,000, almost double what it was a decade ago.“ If you are a new home buyer, try to remain calm amidst the chaos. Here are some tips: 1. Do your research. No matter your reason for purchasing, the process can be daunting for anyone, even if it is not your first time around. The first step is to find your preferred style, i.e. colonial, ranch, split level, modern, and whether it should be a single-family home versus a condominium. All options have their share of advantages and disadvantages. 2. Scout and get information about different neighborhoods to find what truly matches your needs and wants. What type of ambiance do you seek? Working professionals, students, families? A neighborhood rich in history or one more modern? Are you looking for affordable or luxury? Do you need public transit nearby? Do you need guaranteed parking? Is it near your favorite shops and cafes? What are the schools like? 3. Monitor your credit score and see if anything needs fixing. Your credit score will provide insight to lenders about your financial situation, and it’s important to have all your ducks in a row. 4. Wondering if you should rent or buy a home? I’ve learned so much from MortgageCalculators.info. They offer two calculators which quickly help you decide if it makes more sense to rent or purchase a home. Their calculators are easy and precise. They also have information on comparing loan terms, refinancing and so much more. They also have great information on Government-Backed Home Loans. Above all, take a deep breath and remember that all good things take time. The more information you gather, the more organized you are, the less headache and stress. We all have enough of that already! Happy new home hunting! Cozy at Home Sharing is caring! * Post * Share * Pin * Mail * Share #SDCFATHERSDAY TWITTER PARTY 6/10! $3,750 IN PRIZES!

May 28, 2021 By Debra Pearlstein 9 Comments Sharing is caring! * Post * Share * Pin * Mail * Share Today I got the chance to pre-screen Spirit Untamed. It’s truly an epic adventure the whole family will love about a strong-willed girl searching for a place she truly belongs. She discovers a kindred spirit in a wild horse and comes to some amazing realizations. Spirit Untamed is the next chapter in the beloved story from DreamWorks Animation. This is a sponsored post on behalf of Review Wire Media for Dreamworks. Lucky Prescott (Isabela Merced, Dora and the Lost City of Gold) never really knew her late mother, Milagro Navarro (Eiza González, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw), a fearless horse-riding stunt performer from Miradero, a small town on the edge of the wide-open frontier. Like her mother, Lucky isn’t exactly a fan of rules and restrictions, which has caused her Aunt Cora (Academy Award® winner Julianne Moore) no small amount of worry. Lucky has grown up in an East Coast city under Cora’s watchful eye, but when Lucky presses her own luck with one too many risky escapades, Cora picks up stakes and moves them both back with Lucky’s father, Jim (Oscar® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal), in Miradero. Lucky is decidedly unimpressed with the sleepy little town. She has a change of heart when she meets Spirit, a wild Mustang who shares her independent streak, and befriends two local horseback riders, Abigail Stone (Mckenna Grace, Captain Marvel) and Pru Granger (Marsai Martin, Little). Pru’s father, stable owner Al Granger (Emmy winner Andre Braugher, Fox’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine), is the best friend of Lucky’s father. When a heartless horse wrangler (Emmy nominee Walton Goggins, FX’s Justified) and his team plan to capture Spirit and his herd and auction them off to a life of captivity and hard labor, Lucky enlists her new friends and bravely embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to rescue the horse who has given her freedom and a sense of purpose, and has helped Lucky discover a connection to her mother’s legacy and to her Mexican heritage that she never expected. Spirit Untamed is the next chapter in DreamWorks Animation’s beloved franchise that began with the 2002 Oscar-nominated film Spirit: Stallion of Cimarron and includes an Emmy-winning TV series. The film is directed by Elaine Bogan (Netflix and DreamWorks Animation Television’s Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia) and is produced by Karen Foster (co-producer, How to Train Your Dragon). The film’s co-director is Ennio Torresan (head of story, The Boss Baby), and the film’s score is by composer Amie Doherty (Amazon’s Undone, DreamWorks Animation’s Marooned). Genre: Animated Adventure Cast: Isabela Merced, Julianne Moore, Jake Gyllenhaal, Marsai Martin, Mckenna Grace, Walton Goggins, Andre Braugher and Eiza GonzálezDirector: Elaine BoganProducer: Karen Foster Enter to win a Fandango Code for two tickets to see Spirit Untamed (must be used for this film).
