Seacret Spa Age-Defying Serum and Moisturizer Review

After two unappealing reviews of Seacret’s Eye Cream and Age-Defying Eye cream I received a message from the company’s marketing manager with an offer to try out their Restore Age-Defying serum and Refresh Vitamin-Rich moisturizer. I happily agreed.

It’s been at least a month since I’ve been using the products. The goal is to use them at least once per day, preferably before going to bed. First the serum needs to be applied over face and neck, followed by the moisturizer. This is exactly what I did!

Baby Jogger City Elite Disappointment

With the 2-yr old and the second one on the way, I decided to look for a double stroller. I wanted a side-by-side type, with jogging/running capability, good size canopy for sun protection and compact enough to fit through a door. By looking through a ton of strollers online at the Babies-R-Us store, I decided to go with Baby Jogger City Elite Double Stroller. It seemed to have everything, nice soft reclining seats, good size basket underneath, large size canopy for each seat and an easy fold-up technology. What else could a mom dream of? I found the stroller on the Babies-r-Us site under Jogging/Running strollers. Though the price tag wasn’t small, it retails for $650.

When my mother-in-law brought over the heavy box, she pointed out that there was a warning right on the box: Continue reading →

Seacret Spa Eye Gel Review

After unsuccessfully trying out Seacret Regain Age-Defying Eye Cream for under-eye darkness, I decided to go back to the mall and exchange it for the Eye Gel. I didn’t have much choice, they don’t give refunds, exchanges only for 30 days after purchase. After explaining to the suave salesman that the product didn’t work and showing my receipt, he agreed to do an exchange for me.  The salesman convinced me that in order for the Regain product to work, I have to use the Eye Gel as a base (even though I was told otherwise when I purchased Regain). He was trying hard to up sell me on the facial serum as well, but after my experience with their Regain Eye Cream I wasn’t willing to spend any more money on any products from their stand. After I expressed my opinion, he proudly showed me a few impressive before and after pictures of people using their products. But how can I trust a picture if the product didn’t work on ME?

Choco’s Ice Cream Cookie Bon Bons

Oh, these bon bons.  You wonderfully surprised me tonight with the odd combination of your chocolaty constituents.  it is a harmonic assembly of the chocolate cookie topped with chocolate ice cream and fully covered with dark chocolate. Drooling yet?

As I saw the site of the dark chocolate, I anticipated the taste of decadence.  As the cookie touched my mouth, I felt the refreshing coolness of its dark chocolate coating. As it started to melt in my mouth, I tasted the sweet bitterness of the dark chocolate, combined with the cold, sweet sensation of the chocolate ice cream. As I bit further into the firm chocolate cookie, it all came together!  All the flavors and textures combined into one refreshing, wonderfully delicious, chocolaty tasting experience!

And the best thing is I didn’t feel a bit guilty afterwords, it only has 60 calories!
