I received trial-sized samples on the 7 products of the facial line to try for myself. I was able to try 6 out of 7 since one of the glass vials broke, but it had a really nice scent that's not too over-powering.  I think it's terrible to find many other products that contained chemicals that can harm other parts of the body. It's great to find that Authentic Skin Remedies have natural ingredients that are derived from fruits and plants.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER:

AMY RUEDA created Authentic Skin Remedies after successfully battling a rare form of neuroendocrine system cancer, believed to have been hormonally based with strong environmental links.

Amy wanted her product line to center around three factors. First, they had to contain 100% certified organic ingredients, 100% essential oils, and be chemical free. Second, the products needed to actually work better than many of the popular anti-aging and solution skin care products currently containing harmful chemicals. Many of her products focus on treating common skin issues such as acne, rosacea and eczema using ingredients found in nature. Lastly, the products had to be easy for today's fast-paced, savvy consumers to use on a daily basis.

The Bath and Body Luxe line is a three step regimen to polish, gloss, quench and nourish skin from head to toe. All products are plant and fruit based with 100 percent certified organic ingredients and pure essential oils.

Thought I'd share with you a few pics of Once Upon A Time star JENNIFER MORRISON while on her Vancouver set. She’s enjoying her GORDON RAMSAY EVERYDAY Kitchen Products, which are available Exclusively in Canada at Walmart! She was taking a break from shooting, and didn’t rely on any fancy chefs or assistants to ease her hunger! She made a delicious Panini on the Gordon Ramsay Everyday grill, and brewed some delicious coffee using the Gordon Ramsay Everyday coffee maker! After a shopping trip to Walmart earlier in the day, the starlet also spent time wrapping Christmas gifts for co-stars.

The Christmas holiday is just a few days away. If you are still looking for that last-minute gift, you still have time! Ferrero Rocher would make an excellent choice and the perfect gift for the chocolate-lovers. Ferrero Rocher is the perfect gift for this holiday season. Perfect for a home décor, and entertaining idea or a DIY project perhaps?

Did you know it's my favorite chocolate of all time? The chocolate and hazel nut combination are the yummiest and so addicting. And I really love that new tree-shaped packaging.


At the centre lies a perfectly roasted hazelnut, surrounded by a luscious, smooth filling and a delicate crisp wafer, all enveloped in creamy milk chocolate and finely chopped hazelnuts. Each exquisite chocolate is wrapped in luxurious, golden foil. Elegant and delicious, FERRERO ROCHER makes a tasteful gift and a welcome addition to any gathering.

Check out my Ferrero Rocher Bouquet I made here:
