Clearasil Daily Clear Vitamins & Extracts Scrub

Clearasil Vitamins & Extracts scrub is a 2 in 1 product and with today's fast paced lifestyle we all love multi tasking products.  This can be used as face wash morning and night and a 3 minute pamper mask up to 3 times a week.

What Clearasil say -:

Gentle daily exfoliating scrub with a scientific balance of effective cleansing and skin-kind ingredients: Vitamin E and Avocado extracts known for their skin nourishing properties, Pomegranate fruit extract, an anti-oxidant known to help keep skin looking healthy.

What I say -:

This is a nice creamy cleanser with micro beads.  It has a mild apple scent but is not overly perfumed.  It is a very effective exfoliator without being too harsh on the skin and once rinsed away it leaves skin feeling clean and soft.  I found this product easier to use in the shower as if you try to wash off with just a flannel you will inevitably find an occasional stray micro bead on your face whilst applying your moisturiser.  

My husband has enjoyed using this product everyday, it has kept his skin clear and has also helped to keep ingrowing hairs at bay.

Clearasil Daily Clear Vitamins & Extracts Scrub is available from Boots, Superdrug and most major supermarkets RRP £4.99 it's currently £4.00 at Tesco and is part of their 3 for 2 offer.

Out With The Old And In With The New

2012 has been a funny old year for me, some good and some not so good things have happened.

At the end of March I was made redundant from a job I absolutely loved, to say I was gutted is an understatement.  A 3 week holiday to Florida in April definitely perked me up, although I continued to sulk about my job on my return for a few more months.

I then began suffering from a few health problems, turns out I was slap bang in the middle of the menopause and have a slightly under active Thyroid.

I was then lucky enough to have another 3 week holiday in Florida in September, that really is my happy place.

In October I started my Open University Degree in Criminology and Psychology, my first challenge was learning how to learn again.

Also in October my husband bought me a Maine Coon kitten, I have wanted a Maine Coon for years.  His name is Dexter and he is beautiful, he is 5 months old and already larger than our dog!

December has been an emotional month.  For the past 10 years I have travelled to New York every December around my birthday, I make a start on my Christmas shopping, visit the tree at The Rockerfeller Centre and usually take in a Broadway show.  Well with me being unemployed and already having had two trips to Florida, New York was a no go.  However, on my birthday my oldest daughter brought New York to me.  She got me an Empire State Building Pandora charm, a New York Taxi Christmas decoration, a bag and make up from Sephora, a Bone China Tiffany mug, Nail Polish called Times Square and a few other bits and pieces, my husband then took me to London for the weekend where he bought me an iPad and took me to see Wicked, it was the best birthday I have had for years.  Yesterday my oldest daughter moved out to live with her boyfriend.  I couldn't bear to be here when she left so I took the youngest daughter to the cinema.  She's only moved a couple of miles down the road but I miss her terribly.  It's so tough being a parent sometimes, letting go is the hardest thing in the world.

I realise that in the grand scheme of things 2012 has been very kind to me and for that I am eternally grateful.

So 2013 is nearly upon us and I have spent today deciding what changes I would like to make in my life.  I intend to start looking for part time work, I have enjoyed spending time with my youngest daughter and could not go back to working 60 hours a week again.  I aim to become more active on my blog, after a 4 month break I now feel revitalised and ready for the challenge.  I am going to continue with my healthy eating plan, I have lost a stone and plan to lose a couple more before the summer, I'm also going to make friends with the treadmill!

Thank you to all my readers for sticking with me and I'd like to wish you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2013

Firmoo - Free Glasses

Earlier in the year I was informed that I needed glasses, apparently I am short sighted in one eye and long sighted in the other, this means that my middle distance is perfect but I struggle with reading and watching TV.  I was contacted by a company called Firmoo who offered to send me a free pair of glasses to review.  I chose a pair of sunglasses, I then emailed them my choice and my prescription details and within a few weeks my sunglasses arrived.

These are the glasses that I chose but as you can see there are lots of other's to choose from at www.firmoo.com/wrap-around-rx-sunglasses

They arrived in a hard case with a lens cleanser, I was also sent a pouch type case.  They are perfect for driving as although they are sunglasses they do not make everything too dark.  They fit very well and are really comfortable and lightweight.  I absolutely love my new sunglasses and now you can get a free pair of glasses too.  You can chose from prescription glasses/sunglasses (single lens) or clear fashion glasses.  You only have to pay the shipping.  Pop over to the website at www.firmoo.com and browse all the fabulous styles.  You can even upload a photograph of yourself and try the glasses on.

I have been really impressed with the service from Firmoo and would not hesitate to use their services again once my prescription is due for renewal.
