Happy Birthday to Me & Happy Whatever to YOU! *Review & Giveaway*

It's my Birthday.  Ok, well SATURDAY is my actual birthday but I will be too busy singing my heart out on the Songs that Make Us Sing Saturday Blog Hop...come back tomorrow and "party" with us!

Birthdays have always been a big deal around here...at least for me, read I like all the attention to be on MOI...LOL!  I have never, I repeat, NEVER felt "my age" (I'll be 38 years old tomorrow but I feel like I am about 25 or so).  I suppose that's a good thing but there is no denying that I am, in fact, aging (gracefully, or at least I'd like to think...LOL!) when I look in the mirror.  Those little fine lines are starting to develop around my eyes and mouth and not just when I smile either.  A wrinkle or two as crept in and settled here and there and the frown lines on my forehead would make you think I'm either a mean person or a worrywart. I am neither.  Point being, I have decided to give myself the present of taking better care of "ME" this year.  Two ways in which I plan to do this are:

1.  Getting healthy (stay tuned for future posts on this one...it's a BIGGIE!)
2.  Taking care of my skin, read slow down the aging process.  Au Natural, of course.


So, when I was contacted by a representative at Sibu Beauty to review their Sea Buckthorn Daytime Facial Cream I jumped graciously accepted the opportunity.  For the record,  I have been a longtime "user" of another well know beauty line's moisturizer and in all honesty my expectations were not at all that high.  Once I am committed to something I really like and trust,  I rarely if ever "jump ship" but I am also not against "stepping out" into the unknown from time to time to try something new.  And I am very happy I did.  I am loving this product!


The first time I squirted a dollop of cream on my hand I was lovin' the faint but distinct smell of the Sea Buckthorn Berry and then when I applied it to my face I was amazed at how quickly it was absorbed into my skin.  For a moment, I was certain I hadn't put enough on but the smoothness I felt told me otherwise.  After a few applications I noticed that the cream didn't disappear as quickly which indicated that my skin wasn't as dry as it was just a few days earlier.  Can you say FA-bulous?!?!  That being said, it does get absorbed and it leaves no greasy aftermath (which I hate), I can apply my make-up almost immediately after application, something I can't say about the product I have been using for YEARS! 

 I think I'm hooked....I'm "jumping ship"! *GASP*  I am looking forward to seeing what "repairs" it may help with and the "protection" it may provide over long time usage.  I'll keep ya posted!

I strongly encourage you to go check their website out...you won't be disappointed!

Sibu Beauty

In the interest of full disclosure I did get a free Sibu Beauty Sea Buckthorn Daytime Facial Cream to try in exchange for my honest review.  BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!  They are also going to send one of my lucky Bloggy World Friends one too! 

See...Happy Birthday to ME
and Happy WHATEVER to YOU!
