Raise your hand if you are obsessed with the Hallmark Channel. *Raises Hand* I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Hallmark Channel. I could, and have, watch it all day long. An unexpected surprise was their daytime show Home & Family. It’s been around a long time, but it wasn’t until a couple of years ago that I stumbled upon it…All it took was one episode, and I was hooked. My husband was annoyed that our DVR was overflowing with Home & Family episodes. The biggest reason I love that show is because of the co-hosts, Debbie Matenopoulos and Cameron Mathison.
Now this isn’t about Home & Family…but have you seen how amazingly gorgeous Debbie Matenopoulous is?!?! What is in the world is her secret?? Her secret is Ikaria Beauty. Although these products are quite expensive, they are definitely worth a try. As women, the older we get, the younger we want to look. Since the fountain of youth is just a myth, we should really try the next best thing…Ikaria Beauty.
After about a week of using these products, I really did start to notice a difference, mainly in how my skin felt. I suffer from acne due to the medications I’m taking, and I’m never good at leaving my face alone. I tend to spend a solid hour in the bathroom trying to get rid of cystic pimples prematurely which causes a lot of scabs and scars on my face. Since using these Ikaria Beauty products I’ve noticed a more even skin tone (thank you retinol serum) and softer, healthier looking skin (thank you beauty balm and renewing youth elixir). These are also great products if you have sensitive skin like I do. Over-the-counter products tend to dry out my skin, which makes me itch like crazy…So on top of spending an hour in the bathroom messing with my face, I am adding unhealthy oils causing even more breakouts than normal.
Our skin is super important, so we should be using the right products to keep it looking young and healthy. If you are as obsessed with healthy-looking skin like I am, then I highly recommend you spoiling yourself by giving Ikaria Beauty a try. These products would also make a great gift for your beauty-loving friends and family. You deserve to be happy with the skin you’re in, so try Ikaria Beauty today…you won’t be disappointed!

Many of us experience dry skin in the summer, which seems surprising to me. I did a little research and found it is very common to experience dry skin during these warmer months as the heat from the hot summer sun can easily dry out …

During the summertime I spend a lot of time out on the beach or lounging in the pool. The sun and heat takes a real beating on my skin. By the end of the season my skin looks dull and dry. This year I’m stopping that in its track by using Cannafloria Essentials Hemp Body Lotion in the wonderful Lime & Basil fragrance.
* Complimentary sample received for review.
Cannafloria is a division of bath and body products from Aromafloria. What makes these products different? They’re infused with good-for-your-skin ingredients such as Hemp CBD. On top of that, they have really unique fragrance combinations to stimulate your senses.
Last week I started using the Cannafloria Essentials Be Energized Hemp Body Lotion in the Lime & Basil fragrance and love it! It’s infused with Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil and Terpenes. You can learn more about the health benefits of Terpenes by checking out this page on the company’s website. It will explain the science behind the products.
To Use: Apply the daily sheer moisturizing lotion after showering or bathing.
One of the things I noticed about the lotion is that it absorbs within seconds and I mean seconds! You don’t have to stand there for 10 minutes rubbing it in. The consistency of the product is really nice. It’s not too runny nor too thick. Just right. It’s creamy and your skin drinks it right in leaving behind soft, smooth, and moisturized skin. The fragrance is unique…light, clean and airy. There’s nothing over-powering about the fragrance at all.
In just 3 days I noticed a remarkable difference in my skin. It looked youthful, moisturized, and felt smoother. It was no longer dry or dull looking. Once you apply the body lotion it doesn’t leave any sticky residue behind. You can immediately get dressed and go about your day. After 1 week of use my skin looked even better! It no longer itch from dryness. Nope, it’s gone!
The Hemp Body Lotion comes packaged in an easy-to-use pump style bottle which contains 12 fl. oz. A little bit of it goes a long way. It’s seriously one of the best body lotions that I’ve ever used and guess what? It’s affordable!
Giveaway: One lucky winner is going to win a bottle of the Cannafloria Essentials Hemp Body Lotion in the Lime & Basil fragrance. Value $24.00. Good Luck!

I’m really looking forward to the summer—outdoor picnics, pool parties with poolside cocktails and warm, breezy days at the beach. What I’m not looking forward is the oily skin and breakouts I can rely on showing up each and every summer. I’ve found the perfect …
