Eco Friendly Fun For Fall | The Andean Collection | Giveaway

I love The Andean Collection – it is one of my favorite stops for unique, eco friendly jewelry + accessories. I love their new arrivals and think they are perfect for autumn.

I am smitten with their new line of scarves, hats, rings and belts. However, I still love their earrings, necklaces, and bracelets! I love the organic shapes, colors and simplicity of the pieces. And I love how they look fab with a pair of jeans and a tank or you can dress them up with a dress or blouse! They are the perfect all-around pieces to add to your jewelry collection. Plus, did I mention all of the pieces are eco and handmade by women artisans in South America.

Just for fun + to kick off autumn, I am going to give away an acai berry bracelet from The Andean Collection. This lovely goody is no longer available and would make the perfect accessory to your autumn wardrobe.

To enter to win, leave me a comment below telling me what your favorite eco-friendly autumn activity is. I will select a winner on September 30th. Good Luck!

***UPDATE: Linda Kish is the winner! Thank you for playing. 

Ocean Minded: Vegan + Recycled Sandals

Yesterday, when we were at Blueline Paddle Surf Shop picking up our paddle boards, I had to check out their selection of eco-friendly sandals. And I fell in love with the Umi from Ocean Minded – made from recycled plastic bottles, car tires and croslite, these sandals are super-comfy and vegan. I picked up a pair in turquoise, one of my favorite colors. You can grab a pair from the Ocean Minded website for $19.99 – what a deal, since I paid $30.

Which color would you choose?

LAST DAY! SIRCUIT SKIN Cosmeceuticals Review + Giveaway

Wow. Today’s review and giveaway is from one of my favorite skin care companies: SIRCUIT SKIN Cosmeceuticals. I have been using SIRCUIT SKIN Cosmeceuticals for almost three months now and I am super impressed with their 100% fresh, pure skin care treatment solutions. Their use of only the highest quality ingredients, free from artificial colors, preservatives, fragrances, parabans and sulfates leaves my skin clean, clear and radiant.
I am especially impressed with the Brilliance Fading Serum. Living in Florida, I am always in the sun and although I wear sunscreen daily I am still seeing signs of hyper-pigmentation and discoloration. Boo. Since using the Brilliance Fading Serum which is full of L-Lactic Acid and SymWhite 377, the discolorations have lightened. How great is that? This is definitely a product that I would highly recommend if you have any type of sun spots.

I have also been using the X-Trap Daily Face Wash which is super gentle cleanser and doesn’t dry my face. It leaves my skin feeling clean, hydrated and refreshed, which is everything that I want in a daily cleanser. The X-Trap contains anti-pollutants boosters that help to capture impurities, I love the light, fresh scent and the fact that you only need a small amount for a big impact.

Another goody is the White Out, Daily Under Eye Care, which is like magic in a bottle if you have under-eye shadows. This formula helps to soothe and refresh the sensitive skin under your eyes while giving your skin a boost of antioxidants, nutrients and emollients. This has become my go-to early morning cream! I love the way it brightens my eyes and eliminates dark circles and puffiness. Yay!

I have been enjoying the Pumpkin Pore Refiner Mask, it smells exactly like pumpkin – since it is made with concentrated pumpkin extract! This refiner mask leaves my skin soft, healthy and conditioned. I really love using it at the end of a busy week, it’s like a facial in a little pot. The perfect way for me to pamper myself at home.

I love that SIRCUIT SKIN Cosmeceuticals has sample sizes of their products for purchase, it is the perfect way to give each of them a try before you commit to buying a larger size, this is important to me. I  am super happy with SIRCUIT SKIN Cosmeceuticals and I think you will be too.

I thought it would be fun if you could give it a try, so SIRCUIT SKIN Cosmeceuticals is giving away The 7 Essentials Collection – $68 value. In this collection you will get to try some of my favorite products including the X-Trap and White Out, plus other of SIRCUIT Skin Cosmeceuticals bestsellers including the Molecular Mist, Day Care, SIRCUIT Addict, Cloud 9 and Sir Activ. Lucky.
