My NEW Blog Design & A Giveaway to Celebrate

December 25, 2013

I want to start this post with a Merry Christmas to all of my friends and family!  I appreciate each and every one of you.  You all make my heart happy!  I hope that all of your holiday wishes came true.

As you may know, I love to change things around and organize things on a pretty regular basis.  I think my life is always a work in progress.  I’ve been blogging for about 3 years now and decided to change up my blog design (once again) for the new year.  As always, I hired Jenn from Munchkin Land Designs to help me create or re-create my vision.  This time I wanted something simple, clean and easy to read with an air of sophistication.  Let me know what you think of my new design.

So, with this new blog design comes a giveaway.  I LOVE doing giveaways and this gives me a great reason to do one. One of my favorite things to give away is an Amazon gift card.  I feel like I can buy nearly anything at all that I might need on Amazon.com.  I also love buying their gift cards because I can send them to recipients via email with just the click of the mouse.

The only requirements for this giveaway are:
1.  Leave a comment on this post.
2.  Follow my blog.
3.  Like my blog on Facebook (for an extra entry).
Thanks for stopping by!!
Good Luck!


a Rafflecopter giveaway
*I paid for the Amazon gift card that I am giving away with my own money

Thanks for visiting my site! I'm Stacie and I'm a Dallas based beauty and lifestyle blogger, Mom and Grandma. You could say that I'm slightly obsessed with beauty products, especially skincare. I'm living my best life one day at a time while leading with kindness.

AD / COMPLIMENTARY TREATMENT: I received this DENS AD / COMPLIMENTARY TREATMENT: I received this DENSITY RF treatment at no cost in exchange for sharing my honest experience and review.

At 61, I’m always exploring ways to care for my skin and maintain a healthy, youthful-looking glow without surgery. This treatment caught my attention so I’m taking you with me to my treatment appointment at @orangetwist.alliance in Ft Worth, Texas.

So, what exactly is DENSITY RF?

DENSITY is a newer FDA-cleared, non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) skin rejuvenation treatment from Korea that uses controlled heat energy to reach both superficial and deeper layers of the skin. It combines monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency energy to help stimulate your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, which play an important role in skin firmness and elasticity.

What can it help with?
• Improving the appearance of loose or sagging skin
• Supporting firmer-looking skin and a more defined jawline
• Smoothing the appearance of fine lines and skin texture
• Encouraging natural collagen remodeling over time

There are no needles and no downtime. The treatment was comfortable most of the time with a few spicy areas, especially on my sensitive neck. My skin was a little red after the treatment, but that resolved within 30 minutes on my face and an hour on my neck.

While some tightening may be noticeable earlier, results can continue to develop over the following weeks and months as the skin produces and remodels collagen. Results vary from
person to person, and this isn’t an overnight fix, but I’m so excited to see improvements in my skin going forward.

I’m sharing my experience because I know so many of us over 50 are interested in non-surgical facial rejuvenation, collagen-stimulating treatments, and ways to support healthier-looking, mature skin.

I’ll be keeping you updated on my experience and how my skin looks over time!💗

Would you try the DENSITY RF treatment?

I’ve added two supplements from @ritual to my daily routine:

Ritual Perimenopause Hormone Support — designed to support women navigating the changes that can come with perimenopause. They’re formulated for women over 40 who are seeking hormone balance.

Ritual Essential for Women Multivitamin — to help fill nutritional gaps in my diet, because even when we try to eat well, we may not get every nutrient we need.

I also appreciate Ritual’s focus on ingredient traceability and transparency. And the good news? You can find Ritual at @target, too! 

Taking care of ourselves doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s the small, consistent habits that make us feel like we’re showing up for ourselves.

#ad My morning skincare routine has gotten a LOT s #ad My morning skincare routine has gotten a LOT simpler over the years. I’m not looking for 10 different steps. Instead, I want products that are easy to use and easily fit into my everyday routines and @CeraVe has me covered.

Here’s what I’m reaching for lately:

• CeraVe Brightening Vitamin C Cleanser
• CeraVe Super Boost Serum with 3 Essential Ceramides — definitely my favorite step!
• CeraVe Brightening Even Tone Lotion for face + sensitive areas
• CeraVe Skin Renewing Brightening Lotion SPF 30 in the am for sun protection

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned that a skincare routine I’ll actually stick with is so much better than a complicated routine that ends up sitting on my bathroom counter collecting dust.

If you’re looking for a simple morning skincare routine for mature skin, skincare for women over 50, brightening skincare, or an easy daily skincare routine, this is a great place to start, and you can pick them all up at @target or on target.com.

Do you keep your morning skincare simple, or are you a 10-step kind of girl?🤔

#ad A little nighttime self-care is one of my favo #ad A little nighttime self-care is one of my favorite ways to unwind at the end of a busy day!
 
Looking after ourselves doesn’t have to be complicated… sometimes it’s just a few little beauty rituals that make us feel our best.
 
Tonight’s nighttime beauty routine featured a few finds from QVC…
 
• Tweezerman Facial Razor & Replacement Blades for a little at-home facial grooming. I like these for removing the peach fuzz so my makeup goes on smoother. Beware, these are sharp!
 
• Beekman 1802 Milk Rx Better Aging Compress Mask (came as part of a trio) to calm and soothe my skin after I did some exfoliating with the razor.
 
• Philosophy Fragrance 3-in-1 Shower Gel & Lotion for a relaxing bubble bath and a little everyday luxury. The Pure Grace scent is clean and refreshing.
 
I love finding beauty and skincare favorites that make my self-care routine feel special, especially when I can find them at a great price and I always feel like I can count on QVC for that.
 
Have you checked out the beauty deals and sales on QVC.com or in the QVC app lately? There are so many fun finds worth browsing! You never know what little beauty treat you might discover and with the holidays coming up, they have great gift options too.
