Yumberry takes a stand!

Introducing a new branch of skincare from Murad! The new products use an exotic Chinese wonder called Yumberry. Yumberry is a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals (skin damaging enemies) and encourage clean, balanced and smooth skin.



The packaging is what caught my eye. I love the bright colors and clean lines. The names are cute and catchy (Down for Defense & Craving for Clean) and the ingredients are new and innovating.
There are five products: a cleanser, scrub, spot treatment, moisturizer and protective moisturizer.



Available exclusively at Sephora & mycleanscene.com.

Scrub Away the Blues

For me, there is nothing better than soft, glowing skin and the best way to gorgeous skin is with a great scrub.

My favorite scrubs are homemade with poppy-seeds, oatmeal, or citric juice as the main stars, but the St. Ives Apricot Scrub is just as amazing! It’s affordable, made with natural ingredients, and best of all… you won’t dirty up your kitchen in the pursuit of glowing skin!

It’s made with water, walnut shell powder, and apricot extract. The grains are similar to the feeling of sand, and although they are great on the body, they may be a little rough for the face…so if you have sensitive skin I would avoid using the scrub on your face.

The consistency is very thick so it’s perfect for use in the shower and the smell is great! It smells refreshing, clean, and (as the jar says) invigorating….perfect for an early morning jolt!

Use the scrub 2 – 4 times a week and you will see and feel the results!
