So recently my boyfriend was hired as a Spin instructor, so naturally, I want to take all of his classes. Let me tell you a few things about me first: 1. I don't really like to exercise, mostly due to the fact that I have really bad joint issues which make it hard for consistent workouts. 2. I get discouraged if I am not the best at everything I do, so trying a new exercise routine apart from yoga was a bit intimidating. I thought that my boyfriend being a spin instructor would actually get me to workout again. And I was right!

Just like your favorite cereal. Its delicious & nutritious. Give it a try! xoxo

Here are the main products I used: Stem Cell Facial Cleanser This product was one of the best facial cleansers I have ever used. The directions say to massage it into your face for about a minute, and it just cleans deep into your pores. When I wash all the cleanser off,  I not only feel refreshed, but I feel like my skin is a lot healthier! Stem Cell Serum This serum soaks into your skin leaving your skin feeling tight, but moisturized. I think of this serum a lot like I would a toner. I felt as though my skin was a lot smoother after using this for a few days along with the Stem Cell Creme at night and the Daily Tinted Moisturizer in the morning. Stem Cell Creme Using this creme right after letting that serum soak in, ...
