Hello!
Today I'm going to share with you my May Favorites and I've got quite a few things to share,
so let's get started.
The first thing I'd like to show you is this Morningstar Minerals Derma Boost rejuvenating
spray mist.
It's got vitamins, minerals, and it's great for protein repair.
You can use it for the skin, also for the hair, and I use it sort of like a natural
skin toner instead of the rosewater that i used to use in the past, and I still love
it, but I love this one just as much.
It doesn't have any kind of fragrance.
All it has is lots of trace minerals.
It has a huge list of all the minerals that it contains, which is amazing because it's
not so easy to get them from food nowadays, so getting them straight on the skin is amazing.
It helps your skin get softer, retain moisture better, it's a great pick me up in the morning,
it's a great pick me up after the sun, or if it's a really hot day and you need some
refreshing.
I just think it's a really, really great product.
The next thing is Real Techniques finishing brush.
I've been looking for something like this for quite a while because I have slightly
oily skin and it's really hot outside pretty much all year long, and if I wear mascara,
my mascara rubs on my browbone and then I get these black mascara marks all over my
browbone.
Honestly, they are so awful and I have to check myself every hour and clean it off.
It's such a nightmare that most of the time I just skip mascara at all.
But this thing I can apply some finishing powder on some targeted places and I don't
have that problem anymore.
So I love it because of how small it is.
I can apply it right under the eyes to set my concealer and I can apply it on my browbone,
I can apply it on any areas where I get oily, but not all over, so that I don't get my face
really flat, I still get this natural 3D effect.
I think that it is really great instead of a big powder brush that applies powder all
over.
The next thing I'd like to show you is the Alba Botanica strong hold style gel.
I got this quite a while ago, but I never really started using really regularly in my
haircare routine.
But recently I have really got into it and I think it's probably my favorite styling
gel of all times.
It doesn't have any fragrance, which for me is a huge plus.
it's based on copolymer, which works really well with my type of curls, and it's crunchy
at all once it's dry, which is a huge plus for me because I hate styling gels or products
that leave your hair really crunchy, not nice to touch.
it stays really well for a few days.
All I need to do is just dampen my hair a little bit in the morning and it's still there,
it gets revived, and my curls get really, really defined and healthy looking.
You can see it yourself - really really nice.
The next thing is more of my husband's favorite rather than mine, and it's the raw organic
red maca powder.
I think that it's such a fantastic product for anybody, but I haven't tried it myself
yet, so I can't vouch for it myself as a woman, but for my husband, it has done wonders.
Since he started using it, he's been much more smiley, much happier, much more focused,
he's been losing weight little by little from his belly.
it's really great for any men who are aging, perhaps who are losing their testosterone
because it's something happens naturally with age, especially if somebody is stressed.
This is really great to naturally raise that testosterone level and to get that happiness
and energy back in your life.
So I can't wait to try it myself, I'm not doing it now because I'm trying a lot of different
things, so I don't really have space for this one in my routine at the moment, but I will
try it in the future and then I'll let you know what I think of it But my husband loves
it and I love the way he acts and the way he is with this supplement in his life.
Next, I would like to share with you a really awesome book and it's "The Icarus Deception"
by Seth Godin.
I read another book by Seth Godin a while ago called Tribes and this is my second one
and so far it's my favorite.
I love it so much!
It's basically about being an artist in today's world, and anybody is an artist who puts their
whole heart into what they are doing and who makes a difference to the world, to the society,
people around them, and who is not scared to be themselves and to be really vulnerable.
So nowadays we all could be artists if we were brave enough to actually do something
openly and without thinking about what other people think of our work.
Today's society is based on connection rather than manufacturing or factories, because of
social media, internet, so being vulnerable and being open, and being an artist is more
important today than ever.
Especially if you have a blog or YouTube channel, you will find this book really, really relevant
to you, but really, anything you do, I think you will still benefit a lot from it.
It's called Icarus Deception because of the myth about Icarus, the Greek myth how Icarus
was flying, escaping from prison with wings made of wax that his dad made for him, and
his dad warned him not to fly too close to the sun because his wings would melt, but
he didn't listen.
He flew really high and the wings melted and he fell into the ocean and died.
But people fail to mention the other side of the story that his dad mentioned that he
shouldn't fly too close to the ocean either because the ocean was jut going to swallow
him in, so I think it's a great idea that we shouldn't fly too high or think that we're
gods, that we're above everybody else, but at the same time, we shouldn't undervalue
ourselves and find that happy balance somewhere in between.
So I really enjoyed the book.
I think it gives you a lot of food for thought and I would really highly recommend it.
My last favorite is my herb garden.
Honestly, making my food using my own herbs from the garden is priceless.
It tastes so much stronger, so much nicer, I save lots of money not having to buy herbs
from the market.
I just think everybody should grow herbs in their balconies or window sills.
And not only you get wonderful herbs for cooking but you also get so relaxed.
There's nothing better than gardening, so if you haven't started your own little garden
yet, I would highly recommend that you do it because it's such a nice process.
So I think these are all my favorites.
I hope that you enjoyed listening to mine.
If you would like to share yours, please leave them down in the comments, I really love reading
your comments.
Thanks so much for watching this video and I will see you in my next one very soon.
Bye!
