Eternal Youth, A Natural Beauty Gift-For-Yourself Guide, Part 1 of 2

My favorite anti-aging beauty essentials ...

Kneipp Herbal Bath

Bavarian priest, hydrotherapist and naturopath Sepastion Kneipp (1821-1897) devoted his entire life to the healing properties of water, herbalism and holistic health. He is believed to be the "father" of modern hydrotherapy, known as the "Waterdoctor from W rishofen".

Kneipp Herbal Baths are completely amazing ... natural, healthy, loaded with pure essential oils and perfect for stress relief. Warm baths are extremely healing on many levels, contributing to lasting relaxation and well-being. These are not bubble baths, although sometimes I wish they were, but rather they focus on the healing attributes of the oils and the water. You only need a capful, the effect is subtle, but effective. As you inhale the essential oils through the steam and absorb them through the bath, they begin to do their magic.

Kneipp has many different choices when it comes to bath products. I have not tried them all but the ones that I have tried I absolutely love. My husband and I are both completely addicted to the Valerian & Hops Sleep Well Bath & Pure Bliss Bath.

The Valerian & Hops Sleep Well Herbal Bath is one of my favorite Kneipp products. It has a "medicin-ee" kind of scent to it that I have become quite fond of. It is used to induce a deep, restorative sleep, relaxation and cure insomnia. Deep sleep is essential for health, well-being and aging gracefully.

The Kneipp Pure Bliss Bath is another favorite. It has a relaxing and gentle scent. This bath contains hemp and poppy, never failing to make me giggle, perhaps a subconscious response to such a blissful blend. Be careful not to fall asleep in the tub, as I have several times with this bath. I never want to get out and I find myself "nodding off". I meditate deeply with this bath - immediately.

Kneipp Jasmine & Argan Oil Body Lotion

I have tried so many different kinds of lotions on the market and my absolute favorite brand of lotion is Kneipp. They are a thick, non-greasy, quick-absorbing moisturizer that always smell delightful. Recently I tried the Jasmine & Argan Oil Body Lotion. I LOVE Jasmine, beyond description, so naturally I was excited to give it whirl. As I expected I was more than happy with it. It has a sweet, exotic and floral scent that is not too strong, more on the subtle side. It also protects the skin from pre-mature aging.

 Argan oil in huge demand these days because it is known to reverse the signs of aging, along with being extremely nourishing and fabulous for the skin. It is known to be great for removing stretch marks, wrinkles and crow’s feet and also helping diminish scars and bad marks on skin. Rich with Squalene, it helps protect your skin from free radicals that cause sun damage. Clinical studies prove it's ability to correct the age-related deficiencies that cause wrinkling and loss of elasticity. Argan oil is extracted out of raw seeds of Argan tree. Its seeds are preserved inside the hard nut of Argan fruit.

Jasmine essential oil soothes the nerves, producing a feeling of confidence, optimism and euphoria, while revitalizing and restoring energy. It also increases elasticity and is often used to assist with stretch marks and to reduce scarring. Jasmine oil has great value for treating severe depression, eases childbirth, is beneficial with sexual problems, on the respiratory tract, for muscle pain and for toning the skin.

Sexy, alluring and age-defying - I cannot get enough Jasmine & Argan Oil Body Lotion. It also comes in a body oil and body wash. I would love to try these soon.

Healthy Surprise Monthly Club

The Healthy Surprise Club is addicting, making it so easy to stay healthy & happy, adding to energy levels and longevity. Much life extension research focuses on diet, nutrition, vitamins and supplements, as a means to extend the lifespan. There is some controversy about this, but one things remains agreed upon - Eat Healthy! Everything from your your hair, your heart and skin to the thoughts you have are all built from the food you eat. You want to eat the best food possible. In our fast paced life this can get difficult, especially if you enjoy food.

When I found this club i was both excited, yet hesitant. Excited because I love good food, especially health food; hesitant because not all health food tastes as yummy as I would like for it to. The club is basically a healthy snacks club, delivered to your door every month. I have been so happy with the snacks so far. They are all so delicious and my husband and I have fun reading the ingredients while eating them.

The importance of healthy eating cannot be stressed enough. This is one of the best clubs for making it easy to do so, especially if you like to keep your diet interesting. The boxes are packed with each month with full-sized snacks. It is so hard to find good healthy snacks. They are expensive and you never know if they’re going to taste good. I look forward to receiving the package. This is such a great way to try new snacks that I normally would not buy. All the snacks are natural, organic when available, vegan, dairy and gluten free and are free of any chemicals. It is difficult enough to find products like this. This is more than a club. It is a service to human-kind ...

The box is also very well-balanced, some sweet, some salty and even a little spicy. They send a very nice variety of snacks. You can really tell how much this company cares about what they are doing. They take great pride in their boxes and in customer service.

Completely Vegan, no animals were harmed making any of the snacks contained in each box.

Prices per month vary, from $33 to $333 a month, depending on the size of the box. You can cancel anytime, although you most likely will not want to.

Freeze 24-7® IceCream Double Scoop Intensive Anti-Aging Moisturizer

The name of this company says so much. Frozen in time, and ageless continuously - day and night. Have you ever had an old flame surprise you with a visit or a friend whose always competing need you ASAP, past daylight saving time, in the middle of a peaceful sleep? If you are looking to leave a great impression, and need to look your absolute best in an instant, Freeze 24-7 has got your back. Freeze 24-7® products are not tested on animals and contain no animal by-products. Freeze 24?7® incorporates the latest innovations in anti-aging skincare solutions.

Let me start with the IceCream Double Scoop by saying that it is beautifully packaged, just like I feel when I use it. This is a really thick and creamy moisturizer that I find to be quite lovely. While it diminishes expression line formations and smooths away wrinkles, it is also shielding the skin from oxidative stress and UVA/UVB rays and fighting free radical damage and oxidative stress with L-Carnosine & Green Tea Extract. It is luxurious and deeply moisturizing. I feel like a women of immense abundance every time I use it. You really have to try it to know what I mean. It makes my skin so soft and supple, making it look youthful and dewy. I glow and I know it.

Unfortunately this product contains parabens, which are a type of synthetic preservative that can prove irritating to sensitive users and may actually contribute to Cancer. It is also expensive, $105.00 for 1.7ounces

Freeze 24-7® Freeze & Go Instant Smoother and Brightener

This product is awesome. It keeps me looking gorgeous, youthful and flawless. First off it minimizes my pores, something that I really feel I need to look my best. It plumps my skin up and makes my complexion look very healthy. It is age-defying being that it reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while plumping the skin up and defending skin against free radicals and environmental aggressors, including pollution. My foundation goes on more smoothly and evenly when I use it and stays "fresh" looking longer, much like a primer. Celebrity makeup artists everywhere stress the importance of priming. I feel fabulous when I use this, absolutely gorgeous ...

The only down side to the Freeze 24-7® Freeze & Go Instant Smoother and Brightener is that it has a very long ingredient list, containing parabens and all sorts of "difficult to pronounce" ingredients. It does work though and although I do not use it all the time, if I am in a hurry or away from home it has the power to "glamify" my day in a moments notice. The cost of 20ml is $70.00.

Bulgarian Rose Moisturizer

A Rose is a delicate flower in need of care.

Bulgarian Rose Moisturizer rocks. I love the scent of roses. Rose is the Queen of the flowers, an exquisite symbol of absolute beauty, grace and pure, unconditional Love. Roses have been known to hold a key to beauty and youth since ancient times. Bulgarian Rose Moisturizer is luxurious indeed. The purest distilled rose oil to enhance the anti-aging benefits. The care they put into this moisturizer shows. The scent is simply divine, lifting my vibration and my spirits every time I apply it. I love how soft my skin feels and how beautiful my skin looks with daily use. This moisturizer fights free radical damage and has SPF 15 to help protect from further sun damage. It also has anti-aging properties that stimulate collagen production and helps reduce wrinkles.

I intuitively know I am doing something very good for my skin when I use rose ...
