i tried this thursday: NEW Satori perfume oil from Lina Hanson, my review + Global Face Serum, too!

I am a junkie for green beauty products; I want to try EVERYTHING! Thursdays will probably end up being my most common and favorite blogging day because my eBay business allows me to try samples of so many different and wonderful products. Welcome to my first product review, my first I Tried This Thursday!

Lina Hanson.

The creator of one of green beauty's most beloved face serums.

That's right, I'm looking at you, Global Face Serum, you beautiful, beautiful serum, you! If you've never tried this, you MUST go out and find yourself a sample because your life is incomplete if you've never experienced this. If this serum is new news to you, you can read the description of key ingredients to understand why this serum is "global" here.

This serum is super spreadable, and it absorbs quickly and completely, leaving your complexion healthy and glowing. Plus, the neroli and vanilla scent is just beautiful. Want to know about another beautifully scented Lina Hanson product?? Please allow me to introduce to you the new, the incredible..

Satori

Lina Hanson's brand NEW perfume oil!

Satori will be available for purchase this fall, exclusively from Lina Hanson's own website. Lucky me, thanks to a spectacular Friday deal from the blog No More Dirty Looks, I was able to get my greedy hands on a preview sample vial that I want to tell you all about!

My little sample vial, in a pretty polka dot pouch, just waiting to be opened and adored!

My order included an informational printout detailing all you need to know about Satori. You can read it in it's entirety here.

Let me just begin by saying that I really don't think Satori smells anything like the Global Face Serum, but that's not a bad thing at all since I have decided I am IN LOVE with this perfume oil as it is. I dab a little drop on my wrists and the fragrance opens with a savory, spicy ginger that tickles my fancy and my nose when I stick it straight to my wrist to inhale. The yuzu perfectly tempers the ginger, giving it some citrus-ey sweetness so that the ginger doesn’t overwhelm. The sandalwood grounds the fragrance with a warm woodsiness. At first, the vanilla is nowhere to be found, but after about an hour makes it's stunning and sweet debut as ginger fades into the background so that the vanilla can shine center-stage. Satori is noticeable, but never overwhelming, and lasts on my skin approximately four hours, the average time to be expected from a perfume made with natural ingredients.

Satori is a beautiful scent, created with the high quality and care that Global Face Serum led me to expect from Lina Hanson.

Buy it soon, you may find your new signature scent :).

wellness wednesday: Water intake and bkr

Even beauty bloggers need a day job, and mine is one I genuinely love! I am a nurse. So, health and wellness are topics that interest me on several levels. I want to use Wednesdays to talk about current health topics, silly anecdotes about my patients (names changed to comply with HIPPA, of course) etc! Welcome to my first Wellness Wednesday :). Today, I want to keep things simple.

We all know that drinking water is important.

You've heard it enough times, that water is vital to the body in order to function properly. I won't preach on it. But I will give you a new way to think about it.

The body needs 2 Liters of water per day..

..though I like to think of that as just a basic guideline, 

since every body's needs are different,

foods also contain a certain amount of fluid,

and the body's thirst mechanism is the best, most reliable indicator for how much you should drink.

A little simple math for you here: 1 fluid Liter equals 1000 milliliters (mL), so 2 L equals 2000 mL. And 2000 mL equals four standard bkr bottles at 500 mL each.

Easy peasy! I can absolutely consume four full bkr bottles a day!

If you've never heard of bkr (pronounced "beaker"), they are super chic reusable glass bottles with colorful, soft silicone sleeves.

From the website:

"bkr is the bottle equivalent of the perfect t-shirt. It’s super-luxe and soft. It feels right and fits right, it's effortless, and it becomes your staple. You can't just have one and you can’t help but fall in love with it. Owners report that they are "obsessed," "head over heels," and drinking "10x as much water" as a result."

Full review coming soon..! But before that, I have other plans for tomorrow when my week-long blogging adventure continues!
