Staying Youthful with L’Occitane

A couple of weeks ago I turned 45…. time flies… I vividly remember my 30th Birthday, I had the same thought… “It’s not so bad..”.. And honestly it is not as long as you keep embracing changes as you go along and practice kindness – especially to yourself.

In my forties I felt the most significant changes so far – my body just feels different and has different needs than before. The same goes for my skin. It needs more care and attention than 15 years ago.

I was very excited to get the opportunity to work with L’Occitane and to review their newest products, The Immortelle Overnight Reset Oil-in-Serum and the Immortelle Divine Cream.

I used the Overnight Reset Oil-in-Serum at nighttime. It helps the skin recover overnight from my everyday life. My skin felt irritated and dry and the serum was like a healing potion that made my skin feel smooth and soft again. My skin looked rested in the morning and it gives it a satin like and smooth finish.

For Daytime I used the Immortelle Divine Cream who helps fight visible signs of aging. It is a rich but lightweight cream that gets absorbed by the skin but leaves a youthful glow. It has a subtle herbal smell that relaxes and soothes when you apply it. My skin also feels plumper and fine lines have faded, producing a more even complexion.

I absolutely love both products, it really rescued my skin from dryness and irritation and made it feel soft, plump and glowing again.

Thank you so much to L’Occitane for bringing you this post,

I hope you had a fabulous weekend!

I had a day to myself today and I enjoyed it very much and also needed it after all the traveling and excitement of the last couple of weeks. I took some time to go out into the beautiful California nature, I can’t get enough of the amazing view of the Malibu Mountains.

On a day off like today I try to unplug from all the hustle and bustle and worries of daily life and I am looking for peace. I am looking to check in with myself, my emotional wellbeing and my sense of acceptance and gratefulness.

I reflect about my goals, reframe negative thoughts into positive ones, focus on what I am grateful for and work on acceptance so I don’t worry about things I have actually no control over.

I hope you are having a great start into the new week – I am sending  some love and peace your way, keep me posted how it goes!

Thank you for visiting me here, it means a lot,

Holiday Bliss

Happy Holiday Week!

Christmas has come and gone, we spent a great time at home relaxing, cooking great food and spending time with our four legged family. Coco has been doing well and I am so happy to see him running around and enjoying himself.

Yesterday my friend Heather and I went to the spa at Terranea Resort – what an amazing day it was. The weather has been unusually warm for this time of the year and we even got to lay out in our swimsuits and just enjoy the beautiful Oceanview. After this blissful day I feel ready for the New Year.

Happy Holidays!
