Polypeptides, combined with Vitamins A, B, C, and E all act together to stimulate collagen production, refine complexion, and soften skin. Vitamin A contains active beads that release when absorbed for skin smoothness and elasticity.”

I have been using Vitamin Enhanced Moisturizer for over a month, and my skin is balanced and soft.  Use it after cleansing. It is a rich cream, but not greasy at all. It goes on smoothly, absorbing into your skin and providing moisture immediately.

Preparing for the holidays can do a number on your skin!! Fight back with this Roobios Tea Facial Scrub from our friends at Made From Earth.  This facial scrub is full of  antioxidants and roobios tea, which is a flower that has been used for years to help improve your immune system and slow the aging process.

I received a sample of Roobios Tea Facial Scrub and I began incorporating it into my facial routine immediately. This scrub is light and can be used on a daily basis.  According to the Made From Earth website, “Roobios Tea Face Scrub is a moisturizing face scrub that will not strip the delicate vitamin and nutrients from your face. For some skin types, a moisturizer may not be needed after using the face scrub since it contains moisturizing properties. This is why the scrub is perfect for both oily AND dry skin types. For oily skin its great because after using the scrub you may not need an additional moisturizer. And its great for dry skin because it will not overly dry out your face like other cleansers.”  My skin is combination, and I usually use moisturizer once a day.  While using this face scrub, my skin was soft and supple after every wash.  I skipped moisturizer during the day, which is great because it saves me money! 

The face scrub is light as air, and it smells like lemons.  It contains jojoba beads, which are not rough on my skin the way other scrubs can be.  The instructions say to massage on the skin for up to five minutes. I found that a minute was sufficient before rinsing with warm water. 

Sounds fantastic, right? Well now is your chance to WIN this product and be on your way to beautifully moisturized, magnificent skin!

Disclosure: This post is part of a series sponsored by Shutterfly. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do.

I was given the task of trying out a new skincare line from Made From Earth.  As luck would have it, I have been fruitlessly searching for a skincare routine for myself.  I have tried everything from high end products to big box retail brands, and I have not been satisfied with any of them.  I have been bombarded with information, selections, products, price points, advertising, and brands. There is just too much out there! Therefore, when this opportunity came up, it was a welcome relief, as if my choice was made for me and I finally had a skin regimen!

As it turns out, I am in love with Made From Earth products.  They are exactly what my skin needed.  Made from Earth makes organic face products from nothing but certified organic products and fruits. Their products contain no toxins or preservatives, and they enforce a strict no-animal testing policy.  Made from Earth also endorses and supports the Campaign For Safe Cosmetics.

My skin care regimen included a face wash, serum, glycolic scrub and aloe treatment.  I washed my face morning and evening with the Green Tea Toxin Cleanser which is left on the skin for 3 minutes and rinsed off with warm water.  I would follow that with the Rose Hip and Hibiscus Facial Serum, which is non greasy and has a fresh scent. Finally, I applied Aloe Vera Skin Treatment at night before bed.

Once or twice a week I used the Grapefruit Glycolic Scrub. This scrub truly smells like a fresh cut grapefruit, and it is gentle on your  skin! It has exfoliating beads that give you a deep cleanse.   From day one, my skin was softer and more even looking.  Chronic acne on my T-zone disappeared (for the most part).  My skin felt cleansed and refreshed. Being a healthy person on the inside,  I think my skin was reacting negatively to the harsh chemicals in other products.  My skin was thirsting for those natural ingredients. I cannot say enough about Made From Earth, just a huge Thank You for introducing me to a fantastic line of skin care!

Now it is your chance to win ! All you have to do is one of the following:

The hubster and I tried out a Macaroni Grill Basil Parmesan Chicken Meal for two that was sent to us by MyBlogSpark to review here on A Girl Must Shop. They also sent us a big serving dish and tongs to complete the experience.

Preparing the meal was quick and easy – just toss the frozen chicken, pasta, veggies and sauce nuggets into a saute pan with milk and cook for 13 minutes. The final product came out looking great. We used the serving dish (just the right size) and tongs and set the table for a rare dinner not on the couch in front of the tv.

We both really enjoyed the dinner. I wouldn’t say it was as good as a fresh meal at the Macaroni Grille Restaurant but it was definitely a step up from most frozen meals.

According to the bag, it contained two servings – but Jim and I thought that it was way too much for two, so we split one serving and had enough left over so that we could both have a serving for lunch the next day.

Each serving contained 470 calories (190 from fat), 21 grams of fat (12 saturated & no transfats) and a whopping 1040mg of sodium – almost half of the daily recommended amount. That would net out to 10 Weight Watcher’s Points (for those of you, like me, who try to follow the plan) – which isn’t a TON of points, but you would have to be careful about what you ate earlier in the day to make sure you had enough points for this meal.

BUT, if you only had half a serving like we had it would only net out to 5 points, leaving plenty of room for a healthy starter salad, maybe a dinner roll and a 1 or 2 point treat for dessert.
