This cream is deluscious!

Miss Emmy continues her quest for purrfect skin care.  Of course, as she has stated before, the very best skin care comes about from grooming one's fur with one's tongue.

But, barring fur and a tongue with a built-in brush, Something Must be Done, and this nummy cream is really the best.

It comes in a very generous 2.6 oz jar, and the package also includes a sweet little travel jar and a spatula for scooping out some cream for your trip.

Ceramide Moisturizing & Nourishing Cream is appropriate for all skin types, and while it is marketed for post peel care, it is also awesome for just every day moisturizing.

Miss Emmy's human uses it after her shower on days when she's not wearing makeup, and before bed after cleansing.  Since she has oily skin, she's not able to wear such rich cream during the day under her makeup.  She's also used it sparingly on the backs of her hands and loves the soft result.

This lovely cream can be purchased through Amazon here:  http://www.amazon.com/Ceramide-Post-Chemical-Peel-Soothing-Moisturizing-Cream/dp/B00WH1LSY2/, and we highly recommend it.  #ceramidefacialcream

We also appreciate MaxLife's generosity for sending us this sample in exchange for our impartial review.  What Miss Emmy means is, while this is not the best cream for lapping up with your dinner, it is pretty darned great on your human's furless mug.

If you would like to see what she has to say about this, check out her review on YouTube.

Purr-fect skin is hard to get

Especially if you do not have a specially-crafted feline tongue for combing and exfoliating.  Frankly, I find it difficult to understand why humans have so much trouble with their skin, and agonize over aging.

I mean, if you would simply GROW FUR like any sensible feline, this would not be a problem.

Ah.  So.  But who listens to me?  At least YOU do, dear reader!  Else why would you be here to absorb my inordinate wisdom?

At any rate, my human is very fond of what she calls AHA's.  Alpha Hydroxy Acids, glycolic acids, and even retinol creams.  She has very oily skin, large pores (does this mean she has even lower income than low-income people?  Why doesn't she eat CAKE?), and has struggled for nice skin for many, many years.

She has had very good success with serums and lotions which contain AHA's.  In fact, about a year ago, she noticed that her skin was beginning to feel rough, like sandpaper.  This happened mostly below her chin line and even on her neck.  She tried exfoliants and scrubs, and of course lots of moisturizer.  She mentioned this issue to her dermatologist, who actually suggested the problem was AGING SKIN (he probably wanted to recommend she grow fur, but didn't want to hurt her feelings).

Then she happened to remember some AHA cleansers and lotions she had put away, and (I kid --or kitten-- you not) there was vast improvement in this rough-feeling skin THE VERY NEXT MORNING.  And as long as she maintains an AHA regimen, this issue has not returned.

But since the products she pulled out of her cupboard were old and mostly gone, she's been looking for a new source of serums and lotions, and happened upon THIS

at Amazon.

If you haven't encountered the benefits of alpha hydroxy acids in the past,  you should know that they:

1. remove dead skin cells
2. regenerate healthy skin
3. lighten the skin tone
4. reduce/remove age spots (Hyperpigmentation)
5. remove fine lines
6. reduce deep wrinkles
7. open clogged pores and reduce enlarged pores
8. treat acne
9. increase collagen and elastin growth (skin barrier repair)
10. treat effectively stretch marks
11.improve texture and clarity of skin.

While using this serum, my human has noticed (and so has Miss Emmy) improvement with ALL of these issues, excepting stretch marks (because she fortunately doesn't seem to have those... yet).  She reports that use of AHA's definitely open her pores, reduce their size, and improve the texture of her skin.

If she's happy (and doesn't forget to feed me tuna), then I'm happy too.  We did receive this lovely serum at a deep discount in exchange for an honest report of our experience, and here it is.  If you too refuse to grow fur like a sensible feline, then at least order this stuff.  I can't promise you any hairballs, but you definitely won't feel like sandpaper.

Stay smooth.

Solid brass nozzle makes spraying purrty easy

This little brass nozzle is just right for the grip-challenged.  We are tired of holding those handle thingies that only spray when you grip them, and which also leak too much.

Not that Miss Emmy actually waters anything, OR holds a hose for that matter.

But She DOES have an interest in the appearance of her royal abode, so appreciates when her human waters the flowers and sprays off the concrete.  The report is that this nozzle makes that job much easier, and that it also makes a very powerful spray that assists in washing the car.

Of course, I could care less about the car, because I'm never in it, unless I'm going to the vet.  Which makes me care about it even LESS.

However, if one must GO, one must look presentable, so having a clean car is also a plus.

I guess.

So, anyway, the story is that this nozzle will spray hard or soft.  It's very adjustable.  It's solid brass, and will work in all temperatures.  There is a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.  However, I think this satisfaction is related to the performance of the nozzle, not my human, about which they can probably do little.

Even so, we are pleased, and have decided to recommend.  Oh, and also, it comes with two pretty cute extra washers.  Apparently, these do NOT wash things.  Go figure.  But Human says they are very good to have, so I guess it's OK.  You can buy this nozzle here.  To read more about this nozzle and its awesome company, check out this page.  #AlphaHomeProducts

Yes, Miss Emmy acquired this nozzle at a discount provided she would try it out (read:  HAVE SOMEONE try it out), and then report on its efficacy.  So there it is.

Stay fresh, and keep spraying.
Not that kind of spray, you Neanderthal.

Use the nozzle!

ATB,

Miss Emmy says "Meh"

Well, we ordered these.  Yes we did.

They look sooo purrty, and my human thought she would have a whole set to use in her trailer.

So, we did get these at a discount if we would do an honest review, and here it is.

"Meh."

I mean, they are pretty.  My human says they do not hurt her hand, because the handles are comfortable.

And, although they won't hang from a hook, they do stand on their bottoms very purrtly, and that's a plus.

But they are bulky, and will take up a lot of room, so they won't work in a small trailer or in a kitchen that doesn't have a lot of drawer space.

And although they are advertised as "premium" and "stainless steel," there is not a lot of stainless steel.  There is some stainless steel enclosed in plastic, so the tools are only as durable as is the plastic.  So we can't say how these will do in the long run.

On the bright side, I can see how these might make a suitable bridal shower gift for that friend who always loves pretty things but very seldom uses them.  For that person, these would be perfect, and you can order them here.  #VintageKitchenGadgetSet

Miss Emmy keeps it real.

ta!
