Michelle Resendiz – Chicago, Il.
Everyone tries to complicate skin care, and granted it is a little tough to understand if you don’t know anything about it. Let me break this down for you… SKIN CARE means exactly what it says! To care for your skin! How well have you been treating your skin lately? I’m going to break this down into some simple steps; show you what things I’ve tried on my skin, and whats worked for me.
Cindy Crawford’s Meaningful Beauty line of skin care really surprised me. I’ve seen infomercials on this time and time again and was seconds away from ordering and thought “No, my skin is too young for all that”. But you know what? I was wrong! I love what samples I’ve tried from them, and I would be willing to bet that their whole line of skin care is amazing on mature or younger skin. It’s never too late to start prevention care, or early in my opinion.
The lifting Eye Cream was really nice on my skin, and made me feel like I was doing something to help prevent my eyes from starting to get that wrinkly crow feet problem. I’m worried about that already and I’m still in my 20′s! Take a look at the little info blurb about it here.
Lifting Eye Crème–Advanced Formula
Address the telltale signs of aging around your eyes: crow’s-feet, fine lines, and wrinkles. Enhanced with optical diffuser, our hydrating Lifting Eye Crème–Advanced Formula is designed to reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness while helping tired eyes look tightened, lifted and younger.
I also tried the Cream De Serum this is a brand new product that they just launched. It feels so good on my skin I really love it. I do have one concern with this one, (and that’s only because I do still have a break out from time to time, but still its a concern) that this is a little too much for my skin. So, I was worried that this would be too moisturizing for me, but I’m OK with it… so far so good. I’ve been using it for about a week now and I love it! You just need a teeny tiny bit… it goes a long way ladies.
Crème de Sérum
This crème de la crème treatment takes a triple approach to combating the signs of aging with three powerful anti-aging ingredients: superantioxidant melon complex, anti-aging peptides and hyaluronic acid. Combining the power of a serum with the rich, moisturizing effects of a crème, this super-boost is designed to help protect, increase hydration and prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
The other product that I tried from them was The Antioxidant Day Cream. This was my FAVORITE of the collection. I am going to keep this in my beauty and skin care routine for a long long time. The cream is so rich and jam-packed with goodness for your skin, but it feels so light and refreshing. I had no issues with my younger (combo to normal) skin at all. Why do I love this? It has SPF 20 in it… and I can not stress enough how important that is in terms of skin care.
Antioxidant Day Crème SPF 20 UVA/UVB
Give your skin a daily dose of anti-aging ingredients to clarify, brighten and even skin tone. This anti-wrinkle crème combines our breakthrough antioxidant complex with a botanical blend that helps hydrate and revitalize skin. Formulated with SPF 20, it’s also designed to shield against UVA/UVB damage
There’s more skin care items that I use that I do want to talk to you about, but I don’t want to bog you down with too much information. So, Stay tuned for a daily skin routine V-log that I’m going to make for you guys! In this V-Log (I know how you love the videos) I’m going to use all my favorite products from AHAVA Skincare, and show you what I do daily to take care of my face. I have a lot of really quality products from AHAVA, and I fell in love immediately with them.
FACIAL MUD EXFOLIATOR
The granules in this effective mud exfoliator remove excess surface skin cells for a thorough yet gentle cleansing experience. My complexion feels even and velvety smooth and reveals a more radiant look.
- Clarifies and evens complexion using Dead Sea mud
DRY OIL BODY MIST
Loaded with the effective anti-oxidant Dunaliella algae, this hydrating mist spray enlivens the senses with the intoxicating scents of mandarin and cedar oils. My skin feels supple and soft and gives off a clean glow.
- Sesame Seed Oil and Vitamin E provide anti-aging properties that strengthen skin natural barriers
- Vitamin E protects skin against free radicals
They have some really great prevention products as well. When I say prevention, basically its products that you can use to start preventing the signs of aging, or you can start to use them later to stop the signs of aging. AHAVA, by far, has the best ingredients I have ever seen in any skin care around. These were too much for my younger skin so I gave them to my mom to use, and she absolutely loves them. The eye firming cream is her favorite!
The Extreme Firming Eye Cream dramatically reduces wrinkles, enhances firmness, and provides protection and intense moisture to fragile skin around the eye for a more youthful, well-rested appearance.
The Extreme Night Treatment is a remarkable nourishing concentrate that works while you sleep to enhance skin clarity and even skin-tone so that you achieve a more naturally youthful look.
These ingredients have significant impact in maintaining young and healthy skin. Together, they produce a powerfully effective complex that revitalizes aging skin by significantly reducing wrinkle depth, enhancing firmness and restoring youthfulness.
Aren’t
they so eye catching? I love that she didn’t go with the traditional
look, and instead opted for some sparkly wonders. OK, so for information

What’s sexy is that he said this in public. I mean, I know players say things on occasion just to get in good with fans, but for whatever reason, I really feel like Sami means it. He’s just a seemingly all-around genuine kind of guy. Maybe it’s that quiet, humble, lovable bit about him, but he just strikes me as “real.” Know what I mean? And lord knows I love “real.” Sami Lepisto seems like that really sweet, quiet guy who had that winning sense of humor, style and charm, but he never quite achieved his full-blown “heartthrob status.” He’s that guy in high school that was so friendly and sweet and good looking, but you never gave him a shot because he wasn’t the quarterback (er…captain? Keep it in context here.) He was a great friend, but you never really found him to be particularly attractive or sexy. But then one day, you were minding your own business at home, cleaning up the poop that your brand new puppy left on the floor, watching a hockey game, and you see your old friend Sami skating with an NHL team…and a big name, no less. And you drop the poopy-bag on the floor, scaring your dog and making a mess, and you think to yourself, “My god…why didn’t I give this guy a shot years ago? LOOK AT HIM! Wow…he’s…gorgeous.” Your dog is barking but you’re too busy being captivated by Sami’s blue eyes. Suddenly now that he has the bright lights and public display of playing on the Blackhawks, ladies are noticing this beauty. They’re stopping and paying attention to this beautiful piece of man, and they’re falling in love with those blue eyes and perfectly delicate smile. His charm is suddenly appreciated by the women around him, and Sami is truly coming into his own “sneaky heartthrob” status. 
You’re lovable, Sami. Stay that way please, and Chicago will continue to…well…love you!
