New Face and Body Anti-Aging products from FarmHouse Fresh

 Affiliate Link Press Sample


Anti-Aging Face and Body from FarmHouse Fresh:
I am so excited to share about the new Face and Body Anti-Aging products from FarmHouse Fresh. These awesome new additions feature the miracle super-fruit Aronia Berry, Rose Water, Botanical Milks, and Retinol. 

I am already a fan of the various FarmHouse Fresh bath products that I have tried. So, I was super curious when I heard about this new skincare line...especially since it contains Retinol. I swear by Retinol for anti-aging skincare. It is the most researched and most proven to work over-the-counter ingredient for anti-aging skincare. 

I got to try out the new Facial Skincare Anti-Aging products from FarmHouse Fresh. I am totally enjoying both of these products and I hope to try out the body care item soon, too! 

My Skin:
Before diving into my review, let me tell you a little bit about my skin. I have combination skin that is somewhat sensitive and also somewhat prone to breakouts. While I do not break out often, I do get the occasional zit on my chin or by my nose. I have to be super careful with my skincare so that I do not aggrivate my sensitive skin nor cause breakouts from using products that are too harsh or too rich.  This is tricky as many anti-aging skincare products do contain harsher ingredients and I love the feel of rich creams but can't always use them.

This hydrating toner is an absolute joy to use. I must admit, I am a big fan of toners to begin with. I always spritz one one my hands after washing my face and then I pat it to my face gently with my hands. I feel this is such a great way to get instant hydration back into your skin after washing. Plus, I really enjoy the refreshing feel of applying it. This formula by FarmHouse Fresh works to minimizes pores with its natural fiter effect and also works to boost moisture content. The Vitamin Berry Facial Tonic features a little-known miracle fruit aronia berry that contains the highest antioxidant content ever recorded among fruits and is grown in the USA. The tonic also contains rose water, sodium hyaluronate, ascorbyl glucoside, and hydrolyzed starch. 

More about the ingredients:
  • Rose Water: is a steamed distillate of Rosa Damascena flower, which is intensely hydrating, anti-inflammatory and calming
  • Aronia Berry Extract: contains the highest recorded antioxidant concentration of any fruit or vegetable
  • Sodium Hyaluronate: the salt form of skin-identical hyaluronic acid, which helps boost skin’s moisture content and prevent moisture loss
  • Ascorbyl Glucoside: a stable form of vitamin C and glucose, a combination that functions as an antioxidant to help skin preserve key substances needed to look younger and brighter; 
  • Hydrolyzed Starch: provides an instant skin tightening and pore-hiding effect of up to 69% 
The tonic’s formula is free of parabens, sulfates & mineral oil, and it is 99% natural, vegan and gluten-free.

Retails for $36 for 3.5 oz. 


I try to use a Retinol product almost every evening for age prevention. So, I am always curious to try out new Retinols. This Three Milk Ageless Night Cream intrigued me immediately as it promised to be super gentle. This is a good thing when it comes to Retinols and my skin as my skin can get very irritated with Retinol treatment if I am not careful. 

I do, indeed, find this to be a very gentle and easily tolerated Retinol. I am able to use it almost every night without irritation. The key is that this formula is super duper moisturizing. It literally leaves what feels like a film on your skin at night which locks in the hydration and the active ingredients so that they can go to work on your skin over night. I was able to use this formula without irritation. I like how hyrdated and soft my skin feels in the mornings after using this at night. Yes, it does leave a super thick heavy film on your skin. So, that takes getting used to. However, the results are nice. I did get a few clogged pores and minor breakouts initially. However, my skin did seem to overall tolerate this cream. 

Three Milk Ageless Night Cream contains 3 botanical milks (milk thistle, milk vetch, coconut milk), retinol and advanced peptides to firm, hydrate and transform the skin by morning. It uses a time-release delivery system of pure-form retinol for long-term targeted anti-aging benefits. Time release formulas are very beneficial as the time release really helps to minimize irritation.

More About the Ingredients:

  • Retinol (vitamin A): wrinkle-smoothing, firming, and improves visible signs of aging; vitamin-enriched coconut milk moisturizes and soothes skin
  • Milk Thistle: contains silymarin, an antioxidant that is dermatologist recommended, as it reduces skin redness and itching, while improving hydration
  • Milk Vetch: a plant extract with antibacterial properties; while advanced peptides help reduce the look of deep wrinkle surface area by up to 45% after 2 months of use. 
The cream’s formula is free of parabens, sulfates & mineral oil, and it is 93% natural, vegan and gluten-free.

Retails for $45 for 1.7 fl oz.

Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatula from Trophy Skin: Results (15% off Promo Code)


Sponsored Post Affiliate Link Press Sample




Today I am really excited to share my second post in a 2-part blog series about the amazing Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatula from Trophy Skin. I partnered with Trophy Skin and MavenX to try out Trophy Skin's Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatula to share my initial impressions (please see my previous post) and now my results after a few weeks of consistant use.

Today's post will focus on reviewing my skin type and some basic info on the device, how I used the Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatula since my first post, how the device fits into my normal routine, and what I like about the product and my overall results. 

My Skin:
Before jumping into my routine and my results, let me remind you guys about my skin type and concerns. I have classic combination skin that is somewhat sensitive. I do not break out often. However, if I am not careful with my skincare choices, I do ocassionally break out around my t-zone area. Also, I always feel like my pores are a little bit clogged and congested. Specifically, my t-zone is my "problem area" for clogged and enlarged pores. 

I am in my early 40s. So, I am interested in age prevention. While I do not have any major lines or wrinkles yet, fine lines are a concern. I want to prevent those signs of aging from appearing for as long as possible. I believe in both prevention and treatment. My fine lines are not very noticable. However, they do tend to crop up more when my skin gets dehydrated around my eyes and ever-so-slightly around my mouth. 


The Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatula from Trophy Skin is a fantastic device for cleaning out your pores in a gentle and effective way. It provides super gentle exfoliation. Plus, it is absolutely painless to use. In fact, I actually enjoy the feel of this device on my skin. I can "feel" and see it doing its work of pore clearing. Also, I like that this device does double duty as both a deep pore cleaner/exfoliator as well as a sonic infuser for anti-aging skincare! Overall, this device is a perfect match for my skin type and skin concerns. It gives me the pore clearing and exfoliation that I crave without it irritating or flaring up my sensitive skin. Plus, the sonic infusion benefits are just a total bonus. I can get anti-aging benefits with the same device that clears my pores. 

What is a Skin Spatula again?
Just to review a bit from my last post, the Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatula from Trophy Skin is a home version of the popular spa treatment known as "ultrasonic skin scrubbing". The Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatula works by using ultrasonic waves at 30,000 Hz per second. You use the device postitioned at a 30 degree angle while gliding it across your skin to unclog pores
and remove dead skin cells and debris. The angle plus the motion really forces all of that gunk out of your pores in a safe and effective way. The Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatula targets skin concerns such as: clogged pores, excess oil, Blackheads and Whiteheads, dry and flaky skin, dull skin tone, uneven texture, and polluted skin.

Some of these problems sure are issues for me and some are not. So, I can really only speak to the clogged pores and anti-aging benefits. For those areas, the device works beautifully for me. While I don't have any active blackheads or whiteheads, I can really see how this device can prevent the occurance of those issues with consistant use as weekly use is keeping my pores very clear of debris. And clear pores certainly does mean less breakouts. After using this device for 6 weeks, I have had zero breakouts. I think that the device consistantly keeps the pores cleared out and that has translated to fewer breakouts. There is no question, this is a huge skincare win!




In addition to the pore clearing aspect of this device, the Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatula also acts as a sonic infuser! Sonic infusers drive the active ingredients of your skincare deeper into your skin with the ultrasonic waves. I love this because it is just so easy to add this device into my anti-aging skincare routine that is already in place. It literally boosts the effectiveness of the skincare that you are already using and loving. So, to use this device as a sonic infuser, you just use this device to spread your desired skin serum or cream onto your skin. The sonic vibrations will boost the effectiveness of your skincare.


My Final Results Photo:
Results that I can see and feel:
Clear pores and zero breakouts!!! 

How the Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatual Fits into my Skincare Routine and My Final Results:
It has been so easy to add this amazing Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatual into my weekly skincare routine. The device is quick and easy to use as both a pore clearing device and a sonic infuser. As a pore clearing device, I use the Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatual about 2-3 times a week. I find that the best and easiest way for me to use it is right after my shower. The steam and heat from the shower naturally "opens" my pores. So, after I step out of the shower, I just keep my face damp from the shower and use the device on my face right away. It just takes a few minutes to work the device over my problem areas (my t-zone) to really clear out the congestion in my pores. Sometimes I just do my t-zone and sometimes I do my whole face. So, while I work across my face with the spatual, I stop after a few strokes to wipe the gunk off the tip of the spatula with a clean hand towel and then I continue to proceed with the treatment.

I love the visual aspect of using this device. You can literally see the gunk coming out of your pores as it will be extracted by the spatual. Also, I love the "steam" that comes off the device as you use it. It gives such a true spa-like facial experience when you can see that steam coming up.


Pore Clearing and Exfoliation: 
There is no question, this device provides fantastic pore clearing and pore cleaning. I can visibly see the debris coming out of my pores and somehow this is so satisfying for me, lol! I know that my skin is really "deep" cleaned. Plus, the motion of the device across my skin provides super gentle (yet effective!) exfoliation benefits. I can literally feel how smooth and soft my skin feels after using the skin spatula. Amazing! 

I think this device is a game-changer for me for getting rid of pore debris. While my skin usually does not break out, I have found that my pores never looked "clear". I think when the debris really builds up, that is when my breakouts would occur. So, I feel that I can stop this cycle with just keeping my pores super clear. I have not broken out at all since using this device. Granted, I don't break out often, but it does happen probably monthly...and that did not happen this past month. So, I attribute my success in that area to the Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatula!!! I find that the Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatula gives me that clear-pore feeling that I crave in a safe manner. I really feel that I am getting spa-quality facial results at home.

Sonic Infuser:
I have come to really enjoy the feel of using this device as a sonic infuser. It is such an easy step to add to your skincare routine. I mean, you don't have to change any products...just use this device to apply the products you already love! Rather than using your fingers, just smooth on those serums with the Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatula.

As far as results, it is hard to quantify anti-aging results as these types of results are things that you really see over time (long-term). So, I think that 4-6 weeks was a little bit to soon to see major results here (especially since I only have very slight signs of aging). I will continue to use this device as a sonic infuser as anti-aging skincare works really works preventatively. So, I would just hope to see less aging over time with use of the device. I honestly was not expecting to see huge results within a 6 week period.



Shopping Details:
You can find the Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatula at Trophy Skin. It retails for $149.00. While this is an investment, you do have to consider the alternative and the results. To get this type of facial experience at a spa, you would pay $50-$75 per facial treatment at a spa (plus tip!). So, it really is a long term investment and one that will give you results in the comfort and convienience of your own home. Plus, you get pore clearing results that you will see instantly and anti-aging benefits that will work over time! 

Get 15% off with my Promo Code:
Get 15% off at Trophy Skin (no expiration date) when you use my code: PAMMY15. This code can be combined with Trophy Skin's FREE Shipping! Plus, at Trophy Skin, you get a 60 Day Guarantee. So, be sure to shop and take advantage of this great deal! 

Overall, I am extremely pleased with my results with the Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatula from Trophy Skin. This multi-tasking device tackles two main areas of concern for me with my skin: pore clearing/exfoliation and anti-aging. My bathroom sure is cluttered with beauty products and devices. So, a multi-tasking device is usually a win in my book. Plus, I am really liking that this device is effective without being harsh on my sensitive skin. It is rare that a device that I try out ends up as a permanent additon to my skincare routine. Well, I am happy to say that I will continue to use the  Labelle Ultrasonic Skin Spatula from Trophy Skin indefinately! It has been a fantastic addition to my skincare routine. I am loving the clear pore results and like knowing that adding it into my routine as a sonic infuser can boost the anti-aging skincare that I am already using and loving. I highly recommend this device!

RITUALS Spa-Like Scents for You and Your Home: Summer to Fall Transition!

Affiliate Link Press Sample


Have you discovered RITUALS products? RITUALS is hands-down one of my favorite brands for high end spa-like fragrance, candles, and bath products. 

Today I am going to be talking about an assortment of new additions to my RITUALS collection. These scents are nothing short of divine and are the perfect fragrances to take you from Summer into Fall. Do you know what else I love about these items? My husband is just as into the fragrances as I am. So, I would say that these scents are universally appealing to both men as well as women. That is a feat! 




This is such a unique scent! While it is named a Summer scent, there is no question that this scent can not only take you into Fall; but, also could easily be worn year-round. The packaging is so sleek and elegant with the white bottle and the gold accents. There is no question that there is a lightness and freshness to this scent. However, it also has a sophisticated femininity and an undeniable sexiness to it. I think it is the jasmine and the orchid that draws me in the most. I absolutely love wearing this scent and, like I mentioned, my husband really likes it on me, too. 

Inspired by a fragrant, lush oasis hidden in the wilderness of ancient Arabia, this scent is refined by rose, Indian sambac jasmine, heliotrope and Indonesion orchid. The fresh coolness of spring water and bamboo makes this perfume the best fragrance for every occasion. Retails for $75.00. 


This Shower Gel is part of a larger Express Your Soul collection which includes Shower Oil, Body Cream, Bed & Body Mist, Body Scrub, and More. Rituals bath product are just so, so nice! It is honestly a treat to use this in the shower and I really would love to explore the rest of the Express your Soul collection! Using this Shower Gel is a great way to get a spa-like experience at home and such a simple, yet effective, way to treat yourself to something special! 

Combined with the invigorating properties of verbena with the floral and citrus scent of petitgrain, this shower gel creates a refreshing, summery feeling. It hydrates your skin under the shower and leaves your skin perfectly soft great after a long day at the beach. Retails for $15.00. 


I am 100% obcessed with this candle. The scent is intoxicating!!! From loving this candle, I have grown to realize that I adore the Rosewood scent. There is something so familiar about this scent but I just can't place it...something from childhood had this scent and I just can't remember. It is so interesting how strong scent memories are! Not only do I love this scent, but my husband digs it, too. So, burning this candle is a total win in our house. I am wondering if RITUALS has any other products with this same scent? If so, I totally want to try them!

Leave the marshmallows at home and bring the bonfire inside with this luxurious, richly fragranced scented candle based on Rosewood known for its relaxing and elegant fragrance. Enjoy for up to 60 hours! Retails for $45.00.

What are your latest bath, fragrance, or spa additions? Do you have scents that take you from Summer to Fall like these from RITUALS? I would love to hear!

SpaRitual Slow Beauty for a Fast World: Passionfruit Agave and Infinitely Loving Collections

Affiliate Link Press Sample


Limited Edition Passionfruit Agave and Infinitely Loving Collections

Life is hectic. That is an understatement. That is why this whole concept of "slow beauty" from SpaRitual really appeals to me. We all need time to slow down and be at peace with ourselves and our world. 

WHAT IS SLOW BEAUTY?

It is a place unconstrained by time, envy or vanity. This world of Slow Beauty. Where the practice of restoration and healing begins with a choice. 

Sink into an Infinitely Loving embrace. Chinese Jasmine Essential Oil settles the mind, restoring body and spirit whole.

Nurture yourself with the affectionate colors of light. Peaches, pale pinks, breezy whites and the blush of tea roses nurture, protect and encourage us to live from the heart.

The Infinitely Loving collection from SpaRitual offers a variety of products including a body oil, body butter and bath salts, to luxuriously moisturize the body. The floral scent of Chinese Jasmine leaves a soothingly fresh scent to restore both the body and mind.


From the Infinitely Loving Collection, I tried out the Infinitely Loving Sugar Scrub which contains certified organic sugar and certified organic safflower seed oil. This scrub is packaged in a cute container with a handy little scoop inside. This scrub really works nicely! I like using this product during my evening baths. It refines and exfoliates my skin and leaves me feeling soft and refreshed while it also hydrates my skin. 

This fruity-scented vegan body collection is such a decadent treat! Do you know the scent of a fruity chewable vitamin? That is what the scent of this collection reminds me of. 

Limited Edition Passionfruit Agave Vegan Exfoliating Cleansing Oil for Body: 
Oooh! I love this scrub! The scent is so uplifting for a morning shower! It is such a unique product. It is a cleansing oil scrub. I honestly don't think I have ever tried a cleansing oil scrub before. I have tried cleansing oils, but not with scrub particles! It works really well as an exfoliator! The scrub granules are super-duper fine and do a fantastic job. The oil emulsifies when it comes in contact with water. It leaves me super soft and hydrated and smooth! 

Limited Edition Passionfruit Agave Vegan Nourishing Body Souffle:
I really enjoy the texture of this body souffle! It is thick without being greasy. It spreads easily and sinks in quickly to your skin. I like following up the Exfoliating Cleansing Oil with this body souffle for the complete Passionfruit Agave experience. The fruity scent is really uplifting after a morning shower. I really enjoy this product. It leaves me smooth and hydrated!
