Monogrammed YETI Tumbler

DIY Monogrammed YETI Tumbler and Other Pool Bag Necessities

The highlight of my Christmas gifts this past year was my surprise Yeti tumbler from my husband. I had no idea what Yeti was at the time, and was not really excited when I opened up the package to find a large, industrial looking, silver sippy cup. 

My husband is very aware that I LOVE insulated cups, I have been using the same Tervis cup for 3+ years, it looks disgusting, but it has kept my water cold longer than any other cup. I really, really like water to be ice cold, when it's near freezing, I drink a lot more.

Along comes the best cup known to man... Christmas Eve night, I made an ice water in my new Yeti and sat it on my nightstand, with the hustle and bustle of Christmas day, I didn't look at the cup again till 9 PM the following evening. THERE WAS STILL ICE IN MY CUP 24 HOURS LATER. This it totally one of those silly little things that just makes my heart happy, every single day! I love this cup, I really do.

In the last 6 months, we have started a trend among our neighbors, friends and family, everyone has a giant Yeti tumbler now, and we use giant colored Bubba straws, and vinyl monograms to tell each others apart. Plus, they dress them up a bit! To customize my husbands, we have been sticking random stickers on it, like a mini ice chest. He has grown to have the same water cup affinity that I have, well maybe not as extreme.

You can order a custom vinyl monogram on Etsy for around $3 shipped, mine is a 3 inch round. 

You can get a 30 ounce Yeti tumbler HERE.

As I'm packing for a weekend lake trip, I won't be leaving our Yeti's behind, or my broad spectrum Rodan + Fields body and facial sunscreens. I reapply the body sunscreen every few hours, it's water resistant for up to 30 minutes, and it doesn't make your skin feel greasy and gross, it feels more like a traditional lotion. I use the Reverse SPF 50 on my face, because it's the best coverage I can get for my freckle prone complexion. And, the Essentials lip balm with SPF to protect my lips. 

Sun protection covered, hydration covered!

Product Review

(*This is my own personal story and opinions and is in no way intended to give medical advice, nor is it the opinion or recommendation of Rodan + Fields.  Seek a physician for medical advice.)

I had incredible results with the REVERSE LIGHTENING regimen, and started seeing results within the first two weeks!  I have seen a steady flow of before and after photo's of people who are using the Reverse Lightening and I know from personal experience, the excitement they are feeling as their skin is transformed.  From feeling the need to constantly apply concealer and foundation to hide the unevenness, to being able to go completely foundation free, and feeling confident and beautiful.  I thought my sun damage was never going to go away, I thought it was 'just me'.

I have had freckles for as long as I can remember, and I've never liked them.  My little sister had an olive complexion and I always felt like the pale, freckly, ugly one.  I'm not sure where my idea that freckles were ugly came from.  I remember asking my Mom if they would go away when I got older, and she would tell me that they would fade like hers did.  Fast forward 20 years, they did not go away or fade.  Well, some faded but new ones took their place and created layers of freckles.  Then, they seemed to start blending into a couple of giant light brown patches on the top of my forehead, where I get the most direct sun.  

It wasn't until recently that I learned that the brown blotches were melasma.  It's common for pregnant women to get 'the mask of pregnancy', on their cheeks or forehead, sometimes it goes away on it's own, if not it can be treated with prescription creams of hydroquinone (WebMD).  You no longer have to see a dermatologist to get a hyrdroquinone treatment that works to lighten dark spots and melasma.  The Reverse Accelerator Pack, paired with the Reverse Deep Cleansing Wash and SPF 50 Sunscreen, work together to prepare your skin for a lightening and brightening treatment, then protect it from further damage with a broad spectrum sunscreen.  

If you don't have melasma, but do have some sun spots, the Reverse Brightening is an awesome option.  It does not contain hydroquinone, but has a blend of vitamin C and Retinol that help fade dark spots while giving you a dose of anti-aging glory!  This daily regimen can also be paired with an AMP MD roler for further clinically proven ant-aging benefits.

 Above is my 60 day before and after on the REVERSE LIGHTENING regimen, 

and below is my 90 day after photo. I was wearing NO makeup.

To the point... As an adult, my freckles don't bother me like they did when I was young, the unevenness they give my complexion bothers me, and of course the melasma is not cool.  So, when I started on these products, I was stunned to see such drastic changes in just a few short weeks.  I used the Reverse Accelerator Pack for 3 months total, and my skin had totally transformed!  The melasma was COMPLETELY gone, my freckles had lightened a TON, and my skin looked bright, and even.  For the first time, in my entire life, since the pre-teen era, I was able to go without any foundation, concealer, or powder.  If you have ever had something about yourself that you weren't happy with and were able to overcome, you know exactly how I felt.  In a way, it was like weight was taken off my shoulders, I guess because I didn't have to hide behind makeup anymore.  I would probably have the same feeling if I could ever get away with wearing a bikini again!  

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Rodan + Fields Reverse line and would love to talk to anyone who wants to learn more about these products and how they can change your skin, for a more vibrant and confident YOU!

Rodan and Fields Acute Care

Rodan and Fields Launches

Redefine Acute Care

(Available as of January 5, 2015)

Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields, the Doctors that created Proactiv have released another revolutionary product, Redefine Acute Care.  This is a game changer in the skincare industry.  The patent Liquid Cone technology allows Hyaluronic Acid to absorb into your skin to fill an expression line, without the need for a needle.
PURCHASE HERE: Acute Care

Hyaluronic Acid is the ingredient found in common fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm.  It is found naturally in the skin, but you loose an increasing amount with age.  It holds 1,000 times its weight in water, and helps to plump up wrinkles.  Acute Care is an incredible alternative to fillers that gives you lasting results.  When used with the Redefine daily skincare regiment, and the Redefine AMP MD system, will extend the life of your results.

Redefine Acute Care is a small transparent patch, placed on an expression line around the around and below the eyes, smile lines, forehead, above upper lip, and worn overnight.  Some people see results in just one use!  It is recommended to use a patch on the same expression line, every third night, 10 times total.  Then, you can take a break and do maintenance once a week or full treatment quarterly.  A box of Acute Care comes with 10 pairs (2 to a pair).

The beauty industry is buzzing!!!

Here is a short video of the Doctors sharing some information about Acute Care, and some fantastic consultant testimonials:

Hyaluronic Acid and SH-Oliogopeptide-1 are the only ingredients in Acute Care.



Fill a wrinkle while you sleep, no needle required.  GROUNDBREAKING!!!

Rodan + Fields is replacing the need for dermal filler injections, one beautiful face at a time.

I would love to share more information on Redefine Acute Care, the Redefine Daily Regimen, and our Redefine AMP MD System.

Please contact me for information on products or the Rodan + Fields business opportunity, that will soon be breaking into Canada and Japan.

Purchase Here: Acute Care

I applied my first Acute Care patch to my 11's, this is what it looked like on (above).  The patch looks like a clear Band-Aid.  When you apply it, you press gently on it, no rubbing, there is sticky adhesive around the edge to secure it.  It feels like a little like Velcro when you press on it.  It is not painful at all.  The liquid cone technology allows the ingredients to melt into your skin, while you sleep.  It's very comfortable, you can hardly tell it's there!

Suggested Use: One month on, two months off (you can use a patch once a week in between treatments for maintenance).
You apply the patch every third night and wear it overnight, for one month, then take two months off.  Repeat the full treatment once a quarter.

These are the areas of the face that you can apply Redefine Acute Care:

Forehead

Above upper lip

Smile lines

Crows feet area around your eyes

Below eyes

Here is a visual of what happens when you apply the patch:

My Results: Rodan + Fields REVERSE- for Brown Spots, Dullness, and Sun Damage

MY PERSONAL RESULTS!

I have been using the Reverse skin care regimen from Rodan + Fields Dermatologists for around 90 days. This skincare line was created by the doctors that created Proactiv. REVERSE LIGHTENING claims to "Erase the signs of premature aging, including brown spots, dullness, and sun damage. REVERSE Regimen exfoliates, lightens, brightens and protects your skin for a more even tone and texture."

First of all, I am the biggest skeptic EVER! So, I was blown away after 2 weeks of using the regimen, my skin looked so bright & even toned, & so many of my freckles had faded. I WAS SOLD! The picture above is my before & after at 90 days. The pictures are horrible, the before pic is fuzzy & the after pic is very shiny (because I had just applied the step 4 sunscreen).

I really didn't believe there were products out there that actually changed your skin & did what the label said they did. I guess I thought products were just for preventing sun damage & slowing down the aging process. While Rodan + Fields products do those things, they also change your skin! My skin tone is so even now, I can go without any concealers, powders or foundations, & feel pretty & natural. 

Some people love their freckles, however, I do not. But, my goal with using REVERSE is really not to erase all my freckles, but to brighten my skin, give me a more even complexion, & to erase some of the uneven sun damage splotches on the top of my forehead. The rest is just a bonus!

REVERSE is a 4 step regimen, each step relies on the other. You have to use all 4 steps to get the maximum results. The "products are based on a philosophy of Multi-Med Therapy—using the right medicines and active cosmetics, in the right formulations, in the right order." You can use REVERSE until you achieve the results you want, or up to 6 months. Then you get to the goal products, the REDEFINE anti aging line.

I experienced some dry spots while using REVERSE, so it was recommended that I add REDEFINE Overnight Restorative Cream in the evenings. Since the first use, I have had no more issues with dryness. I only use it a 2 or 3 nights a week.

The nights that I am just too lazy to do my 4 step REVERSE regimen, I use the REDEFINE Eye Cloths. Not only do they gently & safely remove eye makeup, but they remove all my makeup, while depositing cosmetic ingredients to combat the visible signs of aging, including PEPTIDES. They are called Eye Cloths, but they are made for your whole face. 

And, this is the newest product I've added to my routine, REDEFINE Multi-Function Eye Cream. I have only been using it for a week, but already love it! It is so silky & thin, I think the tub may last me a year!

 Now that I have completely embarrassed myself by putting terrible pics of myself on the Internet for the world to see... If you have any questions about Rodan + Fields products or the business opportunity, please contact me christysquyres@gmail.com
