NORTHYARD Sleeveless Workout Tank Top

This tank from NORTHYARD is great for lifting, walking and even on a run. From tanks to joggers, I love the styles from this brand! I love the design. The ties on the side adjust the top length. It holds moisture so my skin doesn’t have to.

Crepe Erase from Body Firm

This body repair treatment from The Body Firm is used to help with the crepe skin. I use this on my neck and arms and it is my favorite body cream! Results happen within the first week and with no greasy residue. I gave it 4.5 stars simply because results truly happen when you use it twice a day rather than once a day and 2x a day can be tough for me on consistent use. The results are close to a 5 star! $84 for 10oz and a little goes a long way!

Healthier Skin with Crépe Erase Body Repair Treatment

Erin Sluka

It’s cliche- you turn 40 and your body starts declining in many ways! At 47, I eat fairly healthy and take care of my skin, but sometimes it is an uphill battle to keep my skin hydrated and looking young. Maybe uphill battle isn’t the right phrase, rather, inevitable. The fine lines and crepe skin is my #1 battle. I see creams and supplements and I had yet to try many because there are so many choices and I am not sure which are the best and also made with better ingredients. I was recently challenged to try the Crépe Erase Body Repair Treatment from The Body Firm. So, I use it on my arms, knees and neck twice a day. Here are results, so far.

In just 2 weeks, I can see the difference, so I will definitely keep it up. This is so encouraging. It has no scent, so great for those sensitive to fragrance. It is not greasy at all. A little goes a long way, so a jar will last you quite a while. My skin stays hydrated until the next use. It applies like any quality moisturizer, yet is working in some incredible ways.

The ingredients consist of naturally-derived plant extracts such as dill, apple, and sage extracts along with exclusive TruFirm® Complex and 12 Super Hydrators. This cream helps skin bounce back stronger as it works to help restore elasticity to thin, fragile, crépey skin.

Using Quntis Lights to elevate your home decorating

Erin Sluka

In my Holiday shopping, Amazon has been my go-to! My items arrive fast and returns are easy and the reviews don’t seem to fail me. For the Holidays and some upcoming events, I use lighting indoors and outdoors to elevating my decor. Outside my home for the Holidays, I have lights on the house and in my window displays. I also use lights at the school for events and at home for celebrations when decorating for guests. I also searched for a flower shop near me to get some fresh flowers for decoration.

A brand that has great quality and inexpensive Amazon lighting is Quntis. These 2 products are ones I was fortunate enough to experience and I love these lights! For the Holidays, I added the Quntis Christmas Snowflakes light display. I added some AA batteries and hung in my upstairs window.

These come as a 3 pack and all you need to stick on the window and hang. The tabs and hooks they give as window stick holds very well! They are bright and I have has no issues with any of the strands going out and I run them all the time with the timer memory. They have flashing modes, but I have them as a still light. These are on Amazon and ship with Prime.

I am expecting a niece this summer and am already collecting pink-everything! When it comes time for baby showers and eventually milestones and birthdays, these Globe Fairy Lights will be so fun to use as decor!

There are 400 LED lights in a 13ft strand. It is bright and with the globe lights, shines so pretty! It reflects on the surfaces and has 8 twinkle modes. These are also available on Amazon. You will love all of the lights Quntis offers to elevate your home decor.
