Exuberance Beauty - My PeArL Of The Day

 First of all, I would like to give you a little idea of what/who Exuberance Beauty is just incase you didn't know.

 Exuberance beauty is a skincare company, that, in my opinion, is over-the-top-amazing in every way.

 Besides the skincare products, I love that Exuberance Beauty's skincare products are safe, vegan, nearly all organic. I believe all of their products are made with around 70-98% all organic. I could be wrong, but from what I've gathered, that is correct and I did think it was important to add that.

  Some of the Exuberance Beauty products that I've been using contain botanical and Neroli extracts, blue and green algae which "treats skin with high potency bioactive nutrients, resulting in the a reduction of the appearance of the signs of aging and firmer looking skin." From what I've experienced, this is very true.

 I also love that Exuberance Beauty works hard to empower women, that's amazing! I love a company that has passion like that.

  Those are the basics. Now, I'll talk about the first Exuberance Beauty product that I used.

      - TANGERINE AND SUGAR MAPLE BALANCING TONIC -

This lovely little Pearl is paraben, sulfate, and color free. I believe all are. They also are NOT tested on animals, and free of artificial fragrances. How does that sound? Amazing!

  This Balancing Skin Tonic protects your skin against damage from toxins like acne, dullness, aging signs. It also contains Vitamin C for healthier and beautiful skin.

  I really loved the tonic. I could definitely see it working. The vitamin C in it does do a great job. Vitamin C always makes a difference when used in my skincare products.

 It has a light scent. I can't describe it well, but it doesn't linger on your face like a perfume. It's a nice scent though. It's a skin tonic which looks similar to a serum.

PROS

1. It has no greasy, or sticky residue.
2.It gives skin a clean, healthy glow while tightening pores (my experience.)
3. Swiping on a little after a lot of sweating or something similar to that like tanning, excersizing, etc. definitely gives skin a very clean and refreshed look. It is cleaning. I noticed my face looked calm & clean even after lots of sweat.

4. I can see it being great for acne. I haven't had any real breakouts, but I did get a rough burn from a facial product I used and it did not look pretty! My face was fine until I used a weird product that burned it & left it all red and so irritated that a bumpy rash showed up. I used the Exuberance Beauty Tonic and it calmed the burning and inflammation and took care of the bumpy rash.

5. It seems it would be great for days when you get a little too much sun as well.

My overall opinion on the Balancing Skin tonic:

* I'd definitely purchase.
* Would absolutely recommend it for any skin type.
* It delivers so much. Especially compared to any tonic I've ever used.
* I love it. No con's. It truly is a very well made, wonderful product. I'm sure I haven't even discovered all the benefits of the tonic yet.

You can find this Balancing Skin Tonic here or by clicking one of the text links above that say "Balancing Skin Tonic."

*This review was written by me, it is MY very own, honest opinion of the product. I was in no way persuaded, paid, or asked to write a positive review. I chose to do so soley based on my own opinion of the product. Any free gift/product recieved by me from a company did not influence my opinion of the product. Any review you find on this site is strictly my own opinion and my own writing. It is never demanded of me and I choose to write 100% honest reviews for the company, my readers and lastly, myself. I respect each company, each and every reader, and myself far too much to provide a bias or dishonest review of any sort. The reviews written are strictly for the purpose of providing my readers with the things I find good or bad about a product.*

*You can find my honest pledge at the top*


 

A little update on my recent activity

 If you have read my last post, you know I've been having some issues and very discouraging ones at that. I just wanted to say a few things on the whole matter.

 First, I should mention just how down I was, letting guilt hold me back, etc. Then I opened messages from Sam from http://sam-huh.blogspot.com/ and Hanis from  http://keepthisonealiveinstead.blogspot.com/ they were both such a huge comfort.

 Sam gave me an amazing and kind piece of advice. She told me just what I needed to hear while dealing with some situations. She reminded me that I am a christian and everything I do reflects on my relationship with God. I realized that I haven't handled my recent problems in the best way.

  Hanis was very understanding and her message really brightened my day, showed me that I'm not alone. :) Much love to those girls! (By the way, if you've not done so already, check out both of their blogs p.s. wonderful blogs!)

Now, I'm letting it go, I am handing the entire thing over to God & trusting that he will handle it. After all, he is capable of much more than I am. I do apologize for showing my lack of control on here this week. It was terrible.

 The thing is God has been dealing with me in an area that I really suck at: confrontation, standing up for myself. Instead of standing up for myself, I totally went off this week. That's not acceptable behavior, not to me. I'm better than that. I don't have enemies so I haven't had uch experience in dealing with them. I've had people hurt me, terribly and I usually bless the person who's hurt me and go on. Lately, it's been more complicated. I'm sure many of you can relate to where I'm coming from.

Anyways, a BIG thank you to Sam & Hanis who has helped me have more hope, faith, encouragement.

 Now, this doesn't mean that I'm going to allow people to continue to run me over. I'm just going to deal with it the way I normally do. God's way.

 And I of all people know that those who deliberately hurt God's people, will experience God's wrath. God  will repay those who hurt you.

 ..."Do not take revenge my friends, but leave room for God's wrath"
      ~God will repay those who hurt you.~

             Now, that is comforting.


So, here's to me forgiving, leaving it to God, and being forgiven myself for the sins I committed.



 But, to all of those who truly do bully people, to all of those who have been disturbingly cruel to me & others, I hope you learn from my situation. I hope you will think twice before hurting someone. There is a difference in disagreeing with someone and being cruel. And to those of you who had no idea of my situation and judged me, I ask that you don't do that until you know 100% all of the facts/story.

My PeArL of the day - Saturday

 Today, my PeArL of the day is just a small one, a little saying I write on my mirror in marker. I like it and I hope y'all like it too!

 "A real woman stands up for what she believes in, even if it means being hated for it. A real woman takes no less than what she deserves. A real woman does not reminisce her past mistakes, but learns from them & looks to the future for better. A real woman does not give up but presses on. A real woman is totally faithful to those she loves. A real woman shows strong faith in the hard times, not only the easy ones."

-Kendra Richards

 I know, it may not be the prettiest little words in the world, but to me, these few sentences are what gets me through. They are what reminds me of my strength and faith. Without faith, you have nothing. I hope it can bring you some joy too, I know it's not as fun as my usualy PeArLs (..or are they even fun?! lol) but, I thought maybe just one of you would find hope in it.

Blessings and much love to y'all!

THE NEVER ENDING DEBATE ON "IS IT EVER OK TO GO THROUGH YOUR PARTNER'S TEXTS?"

 The debate on whether or not it's ok to read your partner's texts, emails, etc. has been an ongoing argument ever since I can remember. I'll tell you what I think about it.... Then, YOU tell ME what you think about it.... are you ready? (if you leave a comment with your thoughts, I'll publish it as a new post wth your link and name!)

  MY SIDE: 
I must say, this is a tough one but, I think if you have reason to believe that your partner is doing you dirty, then by all means READ THOSE TEXTS! ha, ha. Sorry, I had to say it. Nobody wants to be the fool that didn't see what was right in front of their eyes. I will admit, I am guilty of text-snooping. Not often, though. I had perfect reason to believe that an ex was cheating with his ex so I finally started calling his voicemail and listening to his messages, he didn't know, but I watched him type in his password to his voicemail! HA! We women can be sneaky. Anyways, sure enough, there was tons of vulgar texts and voicemails. He was cheating. So if I would'nt have done the text-snoop, there's no telling how long I would've stayed with that ass. See, sometimes there is a good reason for text-snooping.

 After I ended things with the ass, I got together with my current boyfriend (of 4 yrs now) and in the beginning, I was scared that it would happen again. So I went through this huge process of getting my current boyfriend's password to his phone, and you bet your sweet ass I snooped that thing! I called every number I seen. And.... He was actually innocent! I was so happy. I did tell him that I snooped though. I wanted to keep it 100% honest. He wasn't mad, he understood that I had been screwed over before and I was just being careful.

  Now, we are still together and happy as can be! So, the point is, I believe a couple should have trust and snoopin' should'nt be taken too far. If you have trust issues, resolve them together. If the trust issues are because the person you're with has done something to betray you or jepordize your trust then, just DUMP EM'

  YOUR TURN.....
