Welcome Skiers #SkiUtah And Come to Xage Med Spa $50 #Giveaway



The snow has been fantastic this year in Utah.  The beautiful powder that skiers from all over the world travel to experience has been at its best this year.  I know, I live just 10 miles from Alta Ski Resort and despite my own harrowing experiences with the winter weather, it has been great on the mountains.  

I've got a great suggestion for those who have traveled here for our great skiing.  When you come to Utah for your ski holiday, you also need to get rejuvenated at one of the best medical spas in Utah!  Located in Provo, UT,  Xage Medical Spa features a whole array of wonderful ways to come away feeling not only more relaxed, but also more beautiful.  Sometimes that is just what a gal needs to go ahead and be the life force for good that she was meant to be.  It's surprising what feeling good about yourself physically can do for you in terms of being more productive, more present and more giving to others.  It's because you have been re-charged!

"Did you ever look in the Mirror and think to yourself “I would look much younger (better) without those wrinkles”? Have you thought about trying Botox, or the recently FDA approved Dysport? With ten years of injecting experience behind him, Dr. Porter can explain each injectable product during your consultation and will help you decide which one is right for you."

 
Dr. Stuart Porter and his team of professionals are dedicated to making your experience at Xage one that will make you glad you came!  It is my spa of choice because of the comfortable atmosphere, the individual attention and the great results I get with whatever service I choose.  It was mentioned as one of the best of 2012 in the Deseret News, Utah Valley's newspaper. 

Some of the services that I have personally had experience with are the massage, the ozone therapy, the vein treatment and the restalyne and filler treatment.  It sounds like I go a lot, but actually it has been limited.  However, every single time I have gone, the service has been great and I have always come away very happy.  So chances are good that I will continue my patronage! For instance one time I had some troubling pimple-like things on my face and they wouldn't go away!  I talked to Dr. Porter about it and he suggested and gave me a small jar of Ozonated Olive Oil.  It smelled horrible, but within a couple of days my problem had completely cleared up.   

Dr. Porter is amazing with his wealth of knowledge about beauty and women.  He is an artist, literally, with an eye for beauty. He is known by many as the best injectionist in Utah, and has 19 years of medical experience.  He is also an authority on Women's Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement.  I am currently trying Amberen, a healthy choice for women approaching or already in peri-menopause and the symptoms associated with it.  It naturally promotes hormonal balance by supporting healthy function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, which is the backbone of the female hormonal system.  It is a supplement program that is 3 months on and 3 months off.  I'm excited to see how it works for me!


So whether you are in the area enjoying the beauty and fun of the snow in Utah or are here already, I highly suggest you make an appointment for one of the great services offered at Xage Medical Spa!  You'll be happy you did!  And let them know that A GAL NEEDS...sent you for a special thank you gift!  Also find special savings and this month's great Valentine's Day Special on Facebook!

 The dispenser is totally touch-free and so convenient.  Here are a few reasons to get the Innovia Paper Towel Dispenser:

  • Loads new rolls easily and efficiently
  • Easy installation
  • Your choice of battery or outlet power.

Cariloha Bamboo Clothing (A Review & $70 #Giveaway)

Cariloha_BambooBamboo grows in warm regions. I want to be in a warm region right now. But I'm not. I will settle for writing about Bamboo that grows in a warm region. One can only dream that someday it will also be warm here! 
The Carribean is warm and a place where wearing bamboo clothing would make a lot of sense. Thus, the first part of the name.  Can you guess where another warm region might be that would make up the second part of the name Cariloha? (I'll let you stew on that one) Did you know that when wearing bamboo clothing, your body temperature is 3 degrees cooler on average?  I learned something!  Also when I think of bamboo, I think of these hard yet pliable plants sticking up out of the water.  I didn't really translate that into being soft when it comes to clothing, bedding and linens but let me tell you, clothing made out of bamboo is extremely soft!  The same is said when it comes to bath towels, and sheets!  Wow, it is really something.  Bamboo sheets don't have a thread count per se, but they are softer and more durable than  4 or 5 hundred thread count sheets.  I was able to walk through the Headquarters at Cariloha in Sandy, UT and I got to physically feel the sheets, towels and clothing.  Everything was unbelievably soft.  Some of the pants, like Cargo Shorts, which are supposed to feel rather stiff and sturdy weren't as soft, but comparatively speaking, even those were soft.  So are you getting the message I am trying to convey here?  If you value softness in your stuff, Bamboo is the way to go!!!  If you value coolness in the summer heat, bamboo is the way to go.  If you are concerned about wearing the most eco-friendly material on the planet, bamboo is the way to go. It is the most renewable and sustainable plant in the world!

Another characteristic about Bamboo Clothing is that it is able to keep you from being stinky from sweat. Not that I ever sweat...or smell...ever.  But for those that do occasionally have that worry, the material is extremely breathable and also has some sort of anti-bacterial property that prevents sweating and odors. Who knew? 

 I was able to take home a couple of items!  They were the the Bamboo Skirt in Chocolate and one of their t-shirts in white.  I absolutely love these items.  The skirt is definitely for summer-strolling on the beach or out in the backyard with flip flops--something that I am patiently waiting for.  In the meantime, I will wear tights underneath, many tops and a jacket and a scarf and it will do nicely for winter garb.  
Sorry little fuzzy, but you get the idea!
The t-shirt is so soft, and cuddly.  I actually collect white t-shirts and this one is definitely my favorite because of the softness!  Even the bag they came in is made from bamboo!
If you are ever in a popular vacation spot, be sure to look for Cariloha because they are all over the map.  For instance, they are found in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Aruba, Barbados, Grand Caymen, Kauai, Hawaii; Key West, Las Vegas, San Diego, Ocho Rios, Jamaica; Juneau, Alaska and more!  If you are dreaming about going to one of these places but aren't there quite yet, you can always order online!   
 I'm not done with Cariloha by any means.  No, this is just the beginning of my love affair with them.  I need to get some towels and linens because I want to have that luxury!  Oh, they have a sister company called Del Sol.  Ever heard about it?  It is every bit as unique and fun as Cariloha! Watch for more about this company later on as we are even closer to warm weather!  

Enter the Rafflecopter Giveaway below for your chance to win an item(s) of choice from Cariloha, up to $70!

A Dermagist Review, Giveaway and 10% off Coupon!


 Got freckles or age-spots anyone?  I have just one on my face, but what caught my eye about the Skin Tone Correcting System from Dermagist is that my skin tone, in general, isn't what it used to be.  So I decided to give it a go and see what it did for me.  After all, I saw on their website that this system doesn't bleach out the skin in order to eliminate age spots, etc.  It is a natural product, free of any harsh chemicals.  It comes in two parts - the Skin Brightening Accelerator and the Skin Brightening Agent.  They work together to achieve the amazing results that people are raving about.  This two-step process is the best way to get results quickly.  First apply the Accelerator.  This gently exfoliates and gets rid of any dead cells hanging around the surface of the skin, so that when you apply the second step, the Skin Brightening Agent, there won't be anything in the way of all the natural peptides that soak into your skin and start working.  In addition to the skin tone corrective ingredients, there are also anti-aging ingredients as well.
My experience with Dermagist has been positive!  I ordered the Skin Brightening System because I felt like my skin was looking dull and tired, even though I have tried to stay on top of my skin care routine.  I don't exactly have any sun spots or too many freckles.  Just one on the side of my nose, which I find mildly annoying.  But as I stated, it is the overall tone of my skin that I wasn't happy with.  After about two weeks of use, I am starting to find that I look better and that people at work are paying compliments to me about how I look.  That's great that they are looking at my face right now, since currently I am having a weight issue with the holidays and all.  I haven't done anything different except for using this product.  Yep, just keep looking at my face!  And thank you to Dermagist for helping me look my best!

Dermagist also has many other miracle products, including a hand cream that is nothing short of miraculous in terms of removing age spots and smoothing your hands, a neck restoration cream that seems amazing, a dermal filler that could take the place of injectables from the cosmetic surgery office and some amazing products for acne prone skin, even the correction of acne scarring!  I'm very excited to try the other products and find my way to a more beautiful new me!
To get a 10% off coupon please click here and you will get 10% off their already on-sale prices!

And here is a great giveaway for you as well!  One lucky reader from the U.S. or Canada will receive any product of their choice.  Please complete the Rafflecopter Entry Form Below!  Good luck!

I received the product mentioned to review and give my honest opinion.  No other compensation was received.  The winner of this giveaway will be contacted after 12/16 by e-mail and will be given 48 hours to respond.

Nature's Sleep Open Toe Slipper

I received the Nature's Sleep Memory Foam Open Toe Slippers in white.  My first impressions were that a fleece bathrobe would go really well with them because they look so fleecy!  I put them on and they are really warm for being open-toe.  For August weather, they seem almost a little too warm!  They would be great in the winter.  They have a very sturdy sole that would be fine to wear outside to pick up the paper, do some watering, run your kid to school, run the garbage out before the truck gets to your house, etc.  They have great support, more than a pair of flip flops, if you can believe that!  The only thing about them that may be 1 or 2, but certainly not 50, shades of gray is that they look a bit matronly.  But who am I kidding?  My oldest son is 24.  I'm not trying to be an illusionist here (or am I?).
 If you haven't experienced the Nature's Sleep Memory Foam difference yet, try the slippers.  You will be impressed at how they retain their shape and are so comfortable.  Then you can transition to some of  the other great products from Nature's Sleep, like mattresses, mattress toppers, or foundations!
While the exact recipe for memory foam is kept secret, we know that memory Foam, or visco-elastic polyurethane foam (as scientists like to call it), is made primarily from polyurethane with some additional ingredients added to increase its density and viscosity.  This increased density and viscosity in turn creates a foam that's more supportive than other foams and also allows it to mold to our bodies.
 Here are some stats about the slippers from the Nature's Sleep website:

·  High quality Genuine Nature’s Sleep Next Generation Memory Foam
·  Provides pressure relieving comfort all day long
·  Naturally conforms to your foot in cool comfort
·  Distributes weight to reduce pressure points and improve circulation
·  Ideal for indoor use on multiple surfaces
·  Attractive style and loo
.  Solid Durable Outer Sole
·  Attractive Fabric choices
·  Available in assorted of colors
·  Material can be spot cleaned or Washed
·  Sized from X-Small to X- Larger
.  90 Day Limited Warranty
.  Ships within 1-2 business days
.  Manufacturer by Nature's Sleep
.  Designed in the USA
.  Made in China

Classical Stretch, PBS Season 8 #Giveaway

 I have teamed up with 3 amazing bloggers to bring you this great giveaway:

 Are you a busy mom, a rushed student or someone who is recovering from injury, surgery or illness?  In all 3 cases, you definitely need to explore Classical Stretch because you will greatly benefit! 
Classical Stretch is a unique approach to physical fitness and over-all body wellness. This innovative training technique targets the muscles and joints from many different angles and planes of motion.
Classical Stretch combines profound stretch of the muscles and at the same time forces the core muscles to contract eccentrically. This unique technique creates conditions for the strengthening of the muscles without muscular hypertrophy, helping participants to achieve the slenderized muscle. It also creates conditions for body fat loss in targeted areas. A stronger, better-balanced and more fl exible body encourages an individual to use his/her newly possessed recourses by engaging in more active everyday life leading to overall body weight loss and better health.
--Dr. Andre Kulesza PhD Physical Education, Sport Science, Biomechanics
 Miranda Esmonde-White, the creator of Classical Stretch, has spent most of her life dancing and sharing the artistry of dance with others.  A former ballerina, Miranda has used her understanding of movement to create a stretch and strengthening fitness program, which targets the needs of everyone from women and men of all ages to elite athletes.
 
   Classical Stretch is an exercise system that is transformational for women 25 and older.  It fuses its unique movements with elements of Tai Chi, Yoga and  Ballet.  The founder, Miranda Esmonde-White is a lifetime dancer and ballerina.  Her exercise system evolved in her studio as she studied her own movements and those of her students.  She became known for healing musculoskeletal issues such as back pain and leg problems and for toning, lengthening and slenderizing her students' bodies. 
  Filmed in Jamaica, currently in its 8th Season on PBS and in filming for Season 9, Classical Stretch and Miranda Esmond-White is a Canadian success story and crosses over into the US and beyond!  She has many testimonials and many disciples of her method.
 
Rushed Students:  This is a full-body workout that will produce results in just 28 minutes per day.  If you don't have time to do anything else, you should stretch to keep the muscle tone and flexibility that only too soon (starting at age 25) you will start  to lose.  Yes, if we don't use and stretch all 600 of the muscles in the body, they will start to atrophy that early! 

Busy Moms:  In just 28 minutes per day, you will start to notice your body lengthening, thinning, and getting stronger.  Your energy will increase and you will be motivated to continue!  Try the Classical Stretch 30-day Boot Camp, doing one or two episodes everyday for 30 days, and watch your pant size go down!  

Recovering Patient: A bonus of this program is that it is  rehabilitative in nature for those who are suffering with multiple ailments such as back injury, leg pain, surgery, scoliosis and more.  

It's hard to imagine that something that takes such little time can produce such great results.  But try it,and be surprised at how thoroughly worked-out and energized you feel at the end of the workout!  Of course, like anything worth achieving, it takes practice and perseverance. Good thing it is an enjoyable thing to do!  Here are a couple of the many testimonials found on the Classical Stretch Website!

"I started doing Classical Stretch on PBS last September when my son started school. I have been doing it 3-4 times per week for 10 months and look and feel better. I was not overweight before but needed to tone. I have lost 5 pounds and several inches from my waist and legs. I can wear a size 4-6. All of my clothes are too big. "

"I am 40 years old, have had a baby and can wear clothes I wore when I was in my 20's. I might even wear a bikini this year. I also used to have alot of back pain and tightness. I now rarely have back problems and when I do I can cure myself with Classical Stretch. Thank you so much."

And here is an example of Miranda, guiding you through a workout. She is very knowledgeable about human anatomy and shares helpful tips throughout the workouts to educate as to why you are doing the particular stretches.  

Classical Stretch 2009 TV Series from Esmonde-White House on Vimeo. Someone will win the 2 dvd set of Season 8 of Classical Stretch with Miranda Esmonde-White, a value of $64.95 + shipping! This Giveaway is open to US and Canada! a Rafflecopter giveaway
