Suzanne Organics by Suzanne Somers: Face, Hair, Nails, Suppliments and More!

There is no question, Suzanne Somers is aging beautifully! I mean, really...what is her secret because...I want to try it! I grew up watching her on TV and have always been a big fan. So, I am very excited to have the opportunity to try out a few items from her extensive Suzanne Organics line. 

Suzanne was diagnosed with cancer. So, she immediately decided she needed to cut toxins from her life. Suzanne was shocked to discover how many chemicals were used in the name of beauty. After years of using traditional makeup and products, Suzanne realized that many of the formulas she was previously using contained dangerous parabens, toxins, and artificial ingredients that can potentially be harmful. In order to give herself and others healthy alternatives, she launched the SUZANNE Organics line. I am so glad that she did! It is a wonderful line with so many amazing products. Suzanne Somers has developed beauty and health products that are pure and clean, easy and fun!

Introducing SUZANNE™ Organics Cosmetics:

Driven by her desire to use more natural products that are good to your skin, Suzanne Somers developed the SUZANNE™ Organics Cosmetics line. This line is made with natural and non-toxic skin-nurturing ingredients like shea butter, jojoba, aloe, argan oil, grape seed oil, bamboo powder, tapioca, rich mineral powders, raspberries, oranges, Vitamin E and more. 

SUZANNE™ Organics Cosmetics seeks out effective botanical actives that harness the power of nature for hair, skin, body, and nails. Suzanne Somers beauty products are made with natural ingredients like botanical extracts, enzymes, skin-nurturing anti-oxidants, and organic fruits and vegetables. From nourishing skin-care to flawless make-up, these products were designed to help you glow.So, you can feel confident that when you use SUZANNE™ Organics Cosmetics products that you are using items that are actually good for you!

Suzanne Organics Complete Hair Care: 

This is a 3-piece set including the Hydrating Shampoo, Hydrating Conditioner, and the Styling Gel. You get all three for $54.99. 

Suzanne Organics Wild Orange Vanilla Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner:

Suzanne Organics Hair care uses natural Cocoa Butter Cleansers that give both a mild lather and an effective cleanse with no residue. High performance superfoods are some of the key ingredients in Suzanne Organics conditioners. These superfoods strengthen the hair shaft while enhancing elasticity for shiny, stronger, hydrated, and more beautiful hair.

These products are free of harsh sulfates, detergents, and foam boosters. I will admit, I do enjoy the rich and thick lather that I get from some shampoos. However, I do know that the ingredients needed to create this amazing lather, are not necessarily good for my hair. So, I will go ahead and tell you that you are not going to get much lather, at all, from this shampoo...but, remember, lather isn't necessarily a good thing! I do find that with shampoos like this one that do not create much lather, that I end up using more product than neccesary to try to build up a bit more suds. 

I really enjoy the soft orange scent of this shampoo and conditioner duo! This shampoo and conditioner gently cleansed my hair and left it feeling soft, volumized, shiny, and bouncy. The conditioner has a mid-range consistency. So, I honestly did not think it would moisturize that much...but, it did! My hair feels and looks very hydrated and healthy.

I think the quality and performance of the Suzanne Organics Wild Orange Vanilla Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner are top notch. I will continue to enjoy using this and will likely re-purchase. 

Suzanne Organics Wild Orange and Vanilla Styling Gel:

Now, I do not normally use gel on myself for hair styling. However, I do use it on my son. He has extremely sensitive skin and also has eczema. So, I am very picky about what I use on him. With the quality of the ingredients in this gel, I can feel confortable using it on my son. It gives his hair the soft control that it needs to keep his bangs out of his eyes. 

SUZANNE Organics 3‑Piece Bestsellers Skincare Kit:
Ageless Serum, Bioactive, Liquid Oxygen:
This 3-piece bestsellers kit is a fantastic way to dive into Suzanne Organics skincare! These three products promise to give you a glowing complexion as they work to diminish fine lines and wrinkles. This set currently retails for $104.99.

Suzanne Organics Ageless Serum:
This serum promises to plump and firm while restoring your skin's elasticity.

This product has the texture of a very lightweight lotion and it has a soft and pleasant scent. I apply this right after washing my face in the evenings (note: this can be used twice a day). It sinks in rather quickly and leaves a slight residue. My skin feels immediately softer and smoother after using this.

Suzanne Organics Liquid Oxygen Therapy:
This elixir helps to alleviate signs of aging with the power of oxygen, much like an oxygen facial does. It works to hydrate, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, fight free radicals, soothe irritation, and it promotes clear skin. The key ingredient is suspended oxygen (Perfluorodecalin). It also contains Contains apple skin and watermelon rind extracts (for hydration and skin rejuvination), Citrulines (for moisture barrier), minerals, and Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B-5).

This product is a lightweight and soothing clear unscented gel. It feels very cool and soothing going on the skin. Because it absorbs quickly and leaves no residue, I like using this in the mornings after washing my face (but this can be used twice a day if you like). I find that this gives my skin an extra hydration boost as well as extra smoothness from the plumping effect! My makeup applies beautifully over this and my skin, overall, looks better when I use this.

Suzanne Organics Bioactive Moisturizer:
This super fragrance-free soothing cream is loaded with skin-loving ingredients to hydrate and smooth your skin. The Bioactive Moisturizer contains natural, botanical active ingredients, like CoQ10, Argan Oil (restores moisture), and Sea Buckthorn Berry (essential fatty acids, Omega 3,6,7 and 9).

I use this cream at night after cleansing, applying serum, and any treatment product that I might be using. This is a beautiful last step in my skincare routine as this cream is so soothing. I always wake up with hydrated and plump skin after I use this before going to bed.

Hair Skin Nail Supplement:
RestoreLife Formulas Hair, Skin & Nail Renew (30-day Supply):
Are you guys into supplements? I sure am! I have always been a believer in the power of vitamins, nutrition, and anything that I can do to take charge of my overall wellness.

I have found that my nails are always in the best condition when I am taking a hair/skin/nails suppliment. I have supplimented on and off over the years for nails/skin/hair. So, I am super excited about trying out this version from RestoreLife! My hair certainly seems to benefit, too with faster growth. However, I find it a bit harder to quantify skin results since I am always experimenting with skincare products.

This RestoreLife Formulas Hair, Skin & Nail Renew suppliment is formulated with Formulated with biotin, Cynatine HNS Plus, bioactive collagen peptides, and silicon. I always look for hair/skin/nails formulas with Biotin as that is the key ingredient that I seem to have the best luck with as far as nail and hair growth.

The jar is a 30-day supply with 90 tablets. So, that is 3-tablets a day for maximum results. I find that it can be hard to remember to take that many suppliments a day. So, I am starting out with taking this formula 1x a day and will evaluate my results at 1 tablet a day. If I am not seeing the results that I want, I will increase my dosage. Since I am petite, I often take less medication or suppliments than directions indicate and still get results. I will keep you guys posted as I see results! I know with suppliments it can take longer than 30-days to see real results and if I took these as indicated, I only have a 30-day supply.

A 30-day supply of the Restore Life Formulas Hair, Skin & Nail Renew retails for $59.99.

SUZANNE Organics 10‐Toxin Free Nail Polish Fall Collection 5‐Piece Set:
What a gorgeous nail polish collection!

This set includes all 4 Fall collection nail polish shades plus the Suzanne Speed Dry. These gorgeous polishes are free from the typical toxins and chemicals that traditional nail polish contain. These polishes are both vegan and cruelty-free. So, you can feel good about using and wearing these lovely shades.

The polishes apply smoothly. I find that they lay down a rather thin coat and need about 3-4 coats to build up the coverage to my liking. They really look beautiful on and I am super pleased with the performance and the wear! Plus, topping them off with the Speed Dry makes your manicures and pedicures super quick. This is a big thing in my book. As a busy stay-at-home Mom, I have limited time for doing my nails. With two little ones always needing me, I have no time for dry-time, lol!

Shades:
Eclipse
Sea Salt
Suede
Bordeaux
Speed Dry (clear)

I am absolutely loving Suede as my nail color and it is the color that I am reaching for all the time now for my nails. I like Bordeaux on my toes. Sea Salt and Eclipse are nice too for a tips/toes combo as well. These shades are sophisticated and elegant and totally suitable for everyday wear and office wear.

This 5-piece set retails for $94.99.

True Brazilian Activating Serum and Finishing Gloss Combo: 
I am so excited about this True Brazilian duo avaialbe at Suzanne Organics! I am no stranger to Brazilian Keratin hair treatments. I got one professionally done once and absolutely loved the results (but not the price!). I have also experimented with a few at-home anti-frizz treatments. So, I am super excited about trying out this True Brazilian Activiating Serum and Finishing Gloss.

While my hair is straight, it is somewhat damaged. It has a rough/coarse texture from damage and highlights. Smoothing treatments and serums mean less styling time for me and smoother and shinier hair.

This combo from True Brazilian is super easy to use right in your own home! It does not take that long and the results are really nice! Plus, this duo retails for $49.99 on the Suzanne Somers site. That is so much less than a salon Brazilain treatment and it takes much less time, too!

True Brazilian Activating Serum:
This serum contains key ingredients like Meadowfoam Seed Oil and Abyssianian Seed Oil which sink deep into your hair to repair and smooth it. These ingredients are heat activated by blow drying and flat ironing your hair after applying the treatment.

To use, just wash and condition your hair as usual and then towel dry. I apply about 2 pumps of the serum and then distribute through my hair (avoiding the root area). Then I blow dry my hair as usual. After drying, you seal in the treatment by using a flat iron. Work in small sections until your hair is completely flat ironed.

After using this treatment combo, my hair is smoother and shinier and the frizz is reduced. Overall, I think my hair looks much more healthy after using this treatment.

True Brazilian Finishing Gloss:
This finishing gloss is the perfect last step to your True Brazilian experience! I just use about 1 pump on my hair after finishing my flat ironing with the Activating Serum. This gloss leaves my hair looking super shiny and feeling super smooth. It contains key ingredients like Argan Oil, Vitamin E, Cupuau and Tamanu Seed Butters, and more. These ingredients add antioxidant protection, shine, moisture, and and leave your hair feeling soft and silky.

3Way Poncho:
If you are on the Suzanne Somers site making an order for makeup, skincare, or supplements, then you must scope out her unique 3-Way Poncho before you check out! What a fun idea...a versatile top that can be worn a few ways! Plus, a 2-pack of neutral ponchos (black and mocha) is only $29.99.

The Poncho comes in 2 sizes: Missy and Plus. I ordered Missy. I will tell you, these are VERY roomy. Yet, somehow it does "fit". It is a very loose fit, but the tops do not fall off me. While I do feel that these tops are slightly too big for my slender frame...since they don't fall off, then they still are wearable and certainly very comfortable and stylish. When I pair them with very slim fitting skinny jeans/jeggings, they look great!

The Suzanne Somers site suggests that you can wear these ponchos 3-ways: cowl, hoodie, or off the shoulder. For me, I really only liked it two ways: as a cowl or off the shoulder. For me, I just didn't care for the way it looked as a hoodie since I have a long torso it just made it ride up too much in the back and the hood part is too narrow. However, you guys might like it as a hoodie, I just didn't personally care for it that way. The great news is that you still have tons of options for how you can wear these tops!

I personally like these tops best worn as off-the-shoulder tops. The tunic length of the top is perfect when you pair the ponchos with skinny jeans or leggings. The material is super soft and I really do enjoy the feel of these when I am wearing them. The black is a true black and the mocha shade is more of a camel shade. These are very flattering and easy to wear and I can see how these are sized to fit most people! Even though they are a little bit too big for me, I think the style and roominess of them is very current for the leggings/tunic top trend. So, I will continue to wear and enjoy these fun ponchos!

Overall, I am a huge fan of the Suzanne Organics lineup! There is so much to choose from: hair, fashion, makeup, nails, suppliments...and even more items that I have not tried yet like fitness items, home cleaners, weight loss, and more!

Oka-B Shoes: Eco-Friendly and So Cute: Review and Discount Code!

Oka-B Shoes: Eco-Friendly and Cute!

Nothing makes a girl feel cute quite like a pair of cute shoes. Oka-B shoes are not only cute, but they are super comfortable and earth-friendly, too! 

I can confidently say that Oka-B shoes are my most-worn shoe brand in the Spring and Summer as I have quite a collection. There are so many colors and styles. They are super cute! So, that of course excites me...but really, it is the comfort factor that won me over. They are just so comfortable to wear while not looking at all like "comfort shoes". I have had various foot problems over the past few years. Luckily, treatment from a podiatrist has my feet feeling much better. However, I have to be very selective with my foot wear. If I am in uncomfortable shoes, they can trigger foot pain that can leave my feet achy for days. I am so happy that my Oka-B shoes leave my feet feeling good and happy! Oka-B shoes were actually designed for comfort. The massaging footbed is based on the principals of reflexology. It is contoured to the foot perfectly with little nubby parts that hit in just the right spots. 

A Little Bit of Background Info on Oka-B:

Oka-B shoes are made of 20% recycled materials. Do you know what else? They are recyclable! Really!!! Just send your old ones in to the company and they can grind them up to make new shoes! The shoes are made of a microplast material that resists bacteria and are very easy to clean: actually, they are dishwasher safe! It actually amazes me how these Oka-B shoes hold up and stay new-looking for the longest time. I swear, they never wear out! These shoes are extremely durable and shoe mininal, if any, wear...even after years of wear! The shoes are very resistant to dirt...so, go ahead and go for those white flip-flops...they really will stay white: pretty impressive! Interesting side note: the shoes smell like vanilla...seriously! It is some sort of natural by-product of their production. Even after washing and wearing, they are still vanilla scented! LOVE IT!

PANTONE Colors of the Year 2016: Serenity & Rose Quartz

 Affiliate Link Press Sample 

PANTONE 15-3919 Serenity and PANTONE 13-1520 Rose Quartz

A Soft Take on Color: 

This is History in the making...well, at least when it comes to Color of the Year! For the first time, the blending of two shades – Serenity and Rose Quartz – are chosen as the Pantone Colour of the Year!  Pantone, an X-Rite company and the global authority on colour and provider of professional colour standards for the design industries... announced PANTONE 15-3919 Serenity and PANTONE 13-1520 Rose Quartz as the PANTONE® Colour of the Year selection for 2016; a  harmonious pairing of inviting shades that embody a mind-set of tranquillity and inner peace.

As consumers seek mindfulness and well-being as an antidote to the stress of modern day lives, welcoming colours that psychologically fulfil the yearning for reassurance and security are becoming more prominent. Weightless and airy, like the expanse of the blue sky above us, Serenity comforts with a calming effect, bringing feelings of respite and relaxation even in turbulent times. Rose Quartz is a persuasive yet gentle tone that conveys compassion and a sense of composure.

“With the whole greater than its individual parts, joined together Serenity and Rose Quartz demonstrate an inherent balance between a warmer embracing rose tone and the cooler tranquil blue, reflecting connection and wellness as well as a soothing sense of order and peace,” said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute.

Serenity and Rose Quartz for Fashion
The combination of Serenity and Rose Quartz was featured on the runways for both men and women and highlighted in the PANTONE Fashion Colour Report Spring 2016 with Emilio Pucci, Leanne Marshall, BCBG and Richard James, among others who incorporated this harmonious colour pairing into their recent collections. Playful yet sophisticated, this colour duo makes a striking statement on its own, though it works equally well as an accent when joined with other shades. With playful escapism as a theme for many, the pairing of shades can be expressed through patterning, plaids, floral prints, striping and colour blocking. Variations of this hue will be seen in a variety of textures that make it wearable throughout the year, from warming and comforting plush wools and faux furs to more ethereal feeling, lightweight linens and cottons. Serenity and Rose Quartz are also a popular choice for jewellery and fashion accessories, including handbags, hats, footwear and wearable technology.

Serenity and Rose Quartz for Beauty
The pairing offers a variety of lip, cheek and eye palette options, as well as hues for nail colour. Flattering against many skin tones, beauty looks pairing the light-hearted, healthy glow of Rose Quartz, with the cool, refreshing tone of Serenity, create a soft and natural statement. Done with a natural, light touch, the flattering pink that enhances the lip, cheek and eye, can be blended with a hint of the cool blue tone that contributes to a beautiful, neutral-based eye shadow palette, accented by classic solid nails or creative nail art that incorporates both shades in the design. Juxtapose with neons for a bold and interesting contrast. Appealing in all finishes, matte, metallic and glossy, a layer of silver sparkle creates added drama.

 About the PANTONE Colour of the Year
The Colour of the Year selection process requires thoughtful consideration and trend analysis. To arrive at the selection each year, Pantone’s colour experts at the Pantone Color Institute comb the world looking for new colour influences. This can include the entertainment industry and films in production, traveling art collections and new artists, fashion, all areas of design, popular travel destinations, as well as new lifestyles, playstyles and socio-economic conditions. Influences may also stem from new technologies, materials, textures and effects that impact colour, relevant social media platforms and even up-coming sporting events that capture worldwide attention. For 16 years, Pantone’s Colour of the Year has influenced product development and purchasing decisions in multiple industries, including fashion, home furnishings and industrial design, as well as product packaging and graphic design.
 

Are you guys excited as excited about this Serenity & Rose Quartz color combination as I am? I am already starting to see Serenity & Rose Quartz fashion and beauty displays when I am out shopping and the combination is so appealing! The colors are soft and beautiful to wear and really are soothing when combined.

What is in my Bag? Date Night Purse Essentials:

It is time for another "What is in my Bag?" post! I must admit, these are my favorite posts to write as well as read on other blogs. I just love knowing what those "must have" essentials are for everyone! There are certainly products that I do not want to leave home without! I am very particular about what I pack in my purse. I want to be ready for all situations. I have very different needs when packing my purse or diaper bag depending on occasion: Out-and-About with the kids or Date Night essentials. I like being both organized and prepared. Today I am going to share with you my What is in my Bag? Date Night Essentials! 

What is in my Bag? Date Night Purse Essentials:

As a busy Stay-at-Home Mom of a 3-year old and a 1-year old, a Date Night is certainly a big event! We do at least one Date Night out a month and it is certainly something that I always look forward to. Being the Planner that I am, I like to be prepared for every occasion with exactly what I need in my purse! My purse essentials for Date Night are certainly different than my essentials for everyday outings with the kids. :) When I am out with the kids, I either need a huge bag or a diaper bag to carry the millions of things that I need. When I am on date night, I can carry a much smaller and lighter bag. However, I still want to be prepared with exactly what I need. As a busy Mom of two Littles, I have no time for a hangovers, getting sick with a cold, or staying up too late. My days start early and I am busy all day keeping up with the kids. I need to always be on pointe, even after a date-night-out! There are no "days off" for busy Moms! So, while out on date night I need to make sure to stay hydrated, take my vitamins, and prevent headaches with Advil. These products can help me feel better the next day!

A Typical Date Night Out:

A typical Date Night Out for us is usually a nice dinner out at one of the upscale outdoor shopping areas nearby. Before and after the movie, we usually walk around a shop a little and maybe have a cocktail. Sometimes we like to see a movie before or after Dinner as well. I am a busy Mom of two Littles, I have no time for a hangover, lol.

Purchasing my Purse Essentials: Walmart Shopping:
When it comes to purchasing essentials for myself or my Family, Walmart is my one-stop shop! It was easy to find some of my handbag essentials at Walmart. The best part? A sales associate saw me looking around with a shopping list and 2 kids in my cart and asked me if I needed help. She literally showed me where everything was and walked me to it! Talk about service! I was very pleased with the help. Especially since I had two busy kids that were ready to go home and nap. You can see how easy it was to find these items by taking a peek at my Walmart photos above and below from when I was shopping! :)

My travel sized Advil Tablet Vial is located in the travel section at Walmart in the back of one of the beauty aisles. They have basket like shelving with a huge assortment of travel sized products.

My Emergen-C Immune+ Chewables were located in the Pharmacy area of Walmart on the aisle with the ChapSticks (right in front of the pharmacy counter).

My ChapStick Total Hydration was actually not on the aisle with the other ChapStick formulas but on a side display on the side of the end cap on the next aisle over.

My Date Night Handbag:
Oh how I love my sparkly sequin Coach bag! My husband got this for me for Christmas 2 or 3 years ago and it is still one of my favorite handbags. I primarily carry it either during the Holidays or for evenings out. I am pretty obsessed with it, lol! It is the quintessential girly-girl-at-heart sparkly bag! :)

For date night, I try not to load up my purse too much. I stick to the basics! Here are some of my handbag essentials for date night:

• Advil Tablet Vial: Let's be real ya'll. This is date night and there will be wine and cocktails. I like to be proactive and preventative when it comes to headaches. Advil is absolutely my go-to headache medicine and it is a handbag staple. I am sure that either myself or my husband will reach for this on any given date night! I love the portable size of this vial. It contains 10 tablets. Nothing’s stronger, longer lasting or better on your tough aches and pains than Advil, and nothing works on more pains than Advil (among OTC pain relievers).

•  ChapStick Total Hydration: ChapStick is a family favorite. From my lips, to the kids, to my husband, we all love ChapStick! There is no question that a great lip balm like this one is an essential for date night...there will be kissing! ;) lol Sorry, I digress. I really do like the formula of the Total Hydration ChapSticks. They are not like the traditional ChapSticks. I find the formula to be a bit more silky and hydrating. This is no surprise since the formula contains great ingredients! It has an advanced nourishing formula with argan oil and avocado butter and rosehip oils.

• Emergen-C Immune+ Chewables: More Healthy Days, More Healthy Nights: This time of year is certainly the unfortunate time of year when colds and the flu are going around. The best defense is a good immune system. So, I like to give my immune system its best defense by getting as much sleep as possible, taking vitamins, and drinking lots of water. Carrying chewable vitamins around helps me to remember to take them! Plus, the Vitamin C and antioxidants can help to counteract any negative effects from a late night out! 

• Nail File: No one wants a hang nail or rough nails on a night out! A nail file is essential. I always have one in my bag.

• A Mirror: A small mirror is so helpful to have on hand. This one is so pretty with its blue/ green/purple colors! It snaps shut to protect the mirror inside and keep it clean. 

• Minor Emergency Kit: I have this little kit in a zipper bag with bandages, antibiotic ointment, tissues, a hair tie, and a panty liner. I want to be prepared! 

• My Wallet and Phone: I absolutely never leave home without my smartphone and my wallet. Believe me, I would feel lost without my phone. Every time I try to downsize my bag by leaving my wallet at home, my husband ends up asking me for cash to tip the valet or I realize when I order a drink that I need my ID. So, now I just always bring it!
