Skin QR Organics, NuElle Triple Action Anti Cellulite Concentrate Review #NuElle

Always check with your physician before using any topical or oral supplement product and specifically NuElle QR. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult your healthcare professional prior to use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children.


Cellulite. Just the word makes my skin crawl. Ugh. It is just ubiquitous unless you are a Sports Illustrated model. I am so fit but I have cellulite too. Yucky, yucky, yucky. I always thought that there was really nothing I could do short of crazy expensive laser treatments or other even crazier plastic surgery. I was excited to hear about something new from Skin QR Organics, NuElle Triple Action Anti-Cellulite Concentrate. 

This is a realistic option that definitely helps. It helps your skin look better over time by firming, detoxifying and improving the circulation. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it contains a unique combination of familiar botanical cellulite fighting ingredients that work in synergy. You can see the full ingredient list below. I have read about the cellulite reducing properties of many of them individually but it looks amazing to have so many working in synergy.

  • All natural
  • Light cream texture, easy to apply, absorbs quickly.
  • Creates sauna effect. 
  • NuElle contains a cocktail of 25 well known cellulite-busters to aid cellulite reduction including caffeine, l-carnitine, Butcher's Broom, Bladderwrack and Ivy 
Skin QR Organics shared with me that NuElle was formulated to work both on the surface and deep under the skin. The idea sounds pretty compelling to a person like me who has fought cellulite with a vengeance since I was in my 20s'. It sounded even more exciting when they shared with me that this revolutionary treatment has dual performance effects that can be seen with the naked eye within 2-3 weeks. I just starting using it so I am really excited. I definitely feel like my legs are tighter and I think I see an improvement starting already which is wonderful.  It can only get better from here.  I love the idea of real firming on the surface while my skin is detoxifying on the inside.  NuElle can also reduce water retention and fat cell clusters and even improve overall circulation and the general appearance of the skin. All this is fantastic because I know I need help.  I exercise and eat healthy but genetics has not been on my side with the cellulite issue. Skin QR is on my side though. Yay!

I like that I can buy it on Amazon since it is convenient for me as a busy mama. You can find NuElle Triple Action Anti-cellulite Concentrate here on Amazon.

In theatres this Friday, September 5, 2014! Drexel Hemsley played by Blake Rayne, rises like a star and changes the music world forever. Meanwhile, his adopted brother Ryan Wade struggles to find a purpose for his life.  It is cool because Blake Rayne plays both characters. Ryan struggles to please his adopted father Reverend Wade.  The Reverend is loving but eternally controlling. Reverend Wade is sure his son Ryan has been called into the ministry. Ryan eventually marries Jenny, played by Erin Cottrell.  Jenny and Ryan's friends encourage him to follow his musical dreams. His two lifelong friends Dino and Avi, played by Seth Green and Joe Pantoliano  are so supportive. Both twins have amazing voices. The Identical spans five decades from the 1930's through the 1970's. It is a fascinating look at the restoration and the reconciliation of a family broken apart by cultural changes, religion and tradition. It is a lesson of love, hope, and redemption that speaks to people of all ages. Featuring 23 original songs by father/son co-writing team Jerry & Yochanan Marcellino, The Identical is a must-see late summer blockbuster for fans of both classic Rock and Roll, Motown and R+B! Seasoned music industry professional Jerry Marcellino, who has worked with chart-topping acts like Michael Jackson, Diana Ross and Smokey Robinson, brings his and his son's distinct writing style and breadth of experience to The Identical. 

THE IDENTICAL tells the compelling story of twin brothers separated at birth during the time of the Great Depression. In 1936, William and Helen Hemsley played by Brian Geraghty and Amanda Crew welcome identical twin boys into the world. They realize they can never give these children any kind of a life beyond the desperate poverty that haunted them and so many others in the midstof the Great Depression? An opportunity presents when evangelist Reece Wade played by Ray Liotta reveals that he and his wife Louise, played by Ashley Judd are unable to have children. The Lord prompts William to give them one of the twin boys. Both brothers are born with passion, drive and awesome musical talent, but take very separate paths which eventually converge. The movie takes an interesting turn when the separated twins destinies collide.  I don't want to give away the ending so I am not going to say too much more! I will tell you that Ryan discovers Drexel is more than just his inspiration...he is his identical twin brother that was separated from hiat birth. Ryan question's everything he's ever believed about his family, his dream and his true destiny.

Deep Cleansing Facial Oil review #Instanatural


Their Deep Cleansing Facial Oil contains a really gentle blend of ingredients that melt away dirt, impurities and makeup fast. I love using this versus the traditional facial wash. It really makes my skin look and feel great. I like that it cleans without stripping my skin of its natural oils or disturbing the natural pH balance.

Instanatural created this Deep Cleansing Facial Oil with an energizing blend of oils. It gently cleans my pores and I feel like it does a great job to remove dead skin cells because my skin looks smooth and nourished after I use it.  I like using it with just my fingers and but sometimes I use it with a natural facial sponge. Instanatural also suggests that you can use with a washcloth. After you gently rub it in and around all you need to do is rinse it off with warm water.  I notice that it leaves a soft and silky feeling on my skin. No tightness or greasiness. A perfect in-between, my skin just feels comfortable. The company says this is a wonderful option for all skin types and especially regenerative for mature skin (like mine). This is also a great option to calm skin after shaving or sun burns. I find it is very effective to  remove makeup..it gets all the mascara and eye makeup off too.

I love the ingredient list too..a lot of good clean oils in there:  Jojoba Oil Olive Oil Lavendar Essential Oil Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil Tamanu Oil Hemp Oil Sea Buckthorn Oil Geranium Essential oil. You can find this Deep Cleansing Facial Oil on Amazon for convenient purchasing anytime.
