Product Reviews

It's been too long, I know I know. I have been busier than you could ever imagine, but I (of course) have made time to try a couple new products to share with you!

First off, dessert. I first tried Trader Joe's Soy Creamy ice cream in vanilla for making fruit smoothies. However, I went to TJ's the other day and decided to take home the Cherry Chocolate Chip flavor. I'm not a huge cherry fan, but I loved the vanilla flavor and wanted to try something different. Basically, it's cherry flavored soy ice cream with cherry and chocolate chunks in it. And, it is TO DIE FOR. oh my god. I could eat this all day long!! First off, it's super super creamy and is perfectly sweet. It doesn't have any weird after taste like (in my opinion) So Delicious soy ice cream does. And, it's chock full of chocolate chunks so you get some in every bite. You must try this!!


Origins A Perfect World Moisturizer

For months I had been using a moisturizer from Lush with so-so results. My skin is pretty normal but errs on the dry side, and when I don't moisturize my skin tends to break out. The product I was using from Lush didn't seem to absorb well, and left my skin a little greasy. So, I decided to take a gander at Origins. The associate pointed me to this moisturizer, and it was a little more expensive than the one I was using but I gave it a try anyway. The very first night I used it I was blown away. It smells great and has a totally different texture than the moisturizer from Lush. It was much thicker, and didn't leave my skin feeling greasy at all. I use it at night after washing my face, and in the morning before applying my makeup and it's absolutely fantastic.
I would also recommend the Modern Friction scrub which I have found is rated one of Origins' best products for a reason... after one use your skin will look much, much healthier.
