Royal Rose Hydrating Serum from Valentia! @BrandBacker

About the Product

Royal Rose Hydrating Serum - A lightweight serum that boosts moisture and resilience while soothing and calming the skin.

This Hydrating & Nourishing Serum Will:
- Deeply moisturize skin
- Provide antioxidant protection
- Soothe & nourish dry skin
- Smooth skin tone & texture
- Boost skin radiance

Specially selected ingredients work together to achieve optimum results.

- Rose Damascena: One of the most nourishing and skin friendly natural oils, providing balance, moisture, and a variety of vitamins and minerals to the skin.

- Niacinamide (Vitamin B): This potent vitamin has been clinically proven to fade away hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and acne.

- Rosehip Seed Oil: Naturally rich in Vitamins C & A, these essential fatty acids work quickly to lock in skin's moisture.

- Evening Primrose Oil: Provides light, non-oily moisture to the skin, never clogging or irritating the skin.

- Bearberry: Reduces melanin production, thereby lightening the skin, revealing a brighter complexion.

- Lavender: Heals the skin, treating pimples, wounds, and sores.

About the Brand

The Roman Goddess of healing, Valentia, relied on nature’s gifts to heal the citizens of Umbria. Whether matriarchs seeking to maintain their youthful look or farmers seeking help for sun damaged skin, Valentia used berries, herbs, barks and other natural ingredients. We also rely on all natural ingredients due to their protective, preventative and corrective powers.

Just like our namesake, Valentia Skin Care products have been formulated with natural and organic cosmetic ingredients that will repair and protect the skin.

After performing extensive research into what skin care customers find most important, we found an overwhelming demand for skin care that is natural, free of toxins and paraben-free. Natural ingredients with an organic base have proven most effective at repairing skin damaged by the sun or the wind, preventing signs of aging such as wrinkles, dark spots, and reversing the effects of oxidative stress on the skin.

My Thoughts

The Royal Rose Hydrating Serum from Valentia is the third product I have reviewed for this company. The ingredients are Rosa Damascena that adds Vitamin B to the skin, Rosehip Seed Oil that is rich in Vitamins A and C, Evening Primrose Oil that provides a light non-oily moisture to the skin and Bearberry that reduces melanin production that lightens the skin.

I have been using it now for about a month at night, a little bit goes a long way. I am 62 and have noticed that I am getting age spots on my face and hands. Although I do have a lot of freckles on my skin, these age spots are not that noticeable. I have a few on my face that I have noticed after using the hydrating serum have lightened a bit, they have not disappeared yet. 

This product comes in a small brown bottle and the serum lasts a long time. With each pump, you get a drop. It goes on non-oily, which I like, absorbs easily and the smell is kind of like an essential oil smell, not overpowering at all. All you need is 1-2 pumps at night after cleansing.I like the products from Valentia, they are natural effective products that are Alcohol and Paraben free.

Summer Under My Quilt by Crystal Sellers Spotlight!

Brief Description:

Megan Creeway spent the summer at her grandparent's lake house. Her life had imploded and she didn't know how to get it back. Her husband was a cheat, her son was outgrowing his mother, and her grandpa was very sick. Seeking refuge from it all, the one thing she did not expect, was to find herself being courted by the very handsome local Pastor.

Reid Stone was finally enjoying his life three years after a divorce. He started over in the quaint town of Lake Charlotte as the pastor of the local church. He quickly made friends yet still led a peaceful quiet life of bachelorhood.

About the Author:

Crystal Sellers was born in a small town in Oklahoma where she was raised in the country and lived a very simple life. Her parents didn't have much, but her needs were always met. Her siblings include one younger brother as well as an older step sister and younger step brother. She was born into a big close-knit family with lots of aunts, uncles and cousins. Crystal was the first born grandchild on her mother’s side and her papa's world.
She was born with a disability and went through a lot growing up; seeing doctors, wearing braces, surgeries, and physical therapy was a big part of her young life. Though it never slowed her down. Despite her disability she always found a way to make things happen.
Crystal met her husband just out of high school. They have been married for Fifteen years. They have a teenage son. He is the joy in their lives. Her family is the light of her life and the reason to keep going every day. Also part of the family are three mini dachshund’s; the bosses of the house.
Writing is just one of her passions. A way to escape to a world that she can only dream of. 

 Note from the author:

Thank you for taking the time to do a spotlight on me. I started Summer Under My Quilt 5 years ago. I had tried my hand at a few other ideas and nothing was speaking to me. When I started writing this one though, it just came out. I actually hashed out the first draft in 2 months. I knew this time I had found my voice.

  There aren't many stories out of love between two older people starting over. I was also surprised to hear how it touched so many. In ways, this book has been a healing and inspirational journey for some. I am always happy to hear that. Even through my blog, my goal has been to uplift and inspire others. 

  I'm very excited to tell you that I have a new novel out,  Fire Within Me. I hope my readers find it as enjoyable as they have Summer under my quilt.

Daddy Dearest by Paul Southern Spotlight! @psouthernauthor

Expected publication: June 1st 2016 by Smashwords Edition

ISBN13

9781311840073

Daddy Dearest

 

An estranged father’s weekend with his beloved five-year-old daughter turns into a nightmare when she gets into the lift of a city centre tower block and goes down without him. She vanishes without a trace. It sets off a race against time, and a nationwide manhunt, to find her. As the police investigation closes in, suspicion falls on those closest to her - with devastating consequences. Daddy Dearest is a terrifying story of love, obsession and psychological meltdown.

'My daughter has always had a thing about lifts. There’s something about the thrill of pressing a button and seeing the lift doors close which excites her imagination. It terrifies me. Every time she walks in, I imagine it’s the last time I’ll see her. What if she hits the button before I get there? What if the lift doors close and I can’t get her out? It drives me nuts. There are eight floors in the Sears building, nine if you count the basement, and the lift is fast: more like a fairground ride, really. It does top to bottom in twelve seconds. I’ve timed it. Taking the stairs, I’ve done it in forty-two. That leaves a gap of thirty seconds. You’d be surprised what can happen in that time. I was.'

Released June 1st on Amazon / Smashwords.

Biography

 

Following an induced labour some time in the 1960s (due date: Halloween night), I had my subscription to a normal life revoked by itinerant parents, who moved from city to city. Lived in Liverpool, Belfast, London and Leeds, then escaped to university, where I nearly died of a brain haemorrhage. After an unexpected recovery, formed an underground indie group (Sexus). Met the lead singer through standing on a bee. Made immediate plans to become rich and famous, but ended up in Manchester. Shared a house with mice, cockroaches, and slugs; shared the street with criminals. Five years later, hit the big time with a Warners record deal. Concerts at Shepherd’s Bush Empire, Melody Maker front cover, Smash Hits Single of the Week, Radio 1 and EastEnders. Mixed with the really rich and famous. Then mixed with lawyers. Ended up back in Manchester, broke. Got a PhD in English (I am the world's leading authority on Tennyson's stage plays), then wrote my first novel, The Craze, based on my experiences of the Muslim community. Immediately nominated to the Arena X Club (the name Arena magazine gave to a select group of creative, UK-based men responsible for shaping the way their readers lived and enjoyed their lives). Wrote a second book, Brown Boys in Chocolate, which predicted the London bombings. Fell foul of the censors and subsequently gagged by the press. Got ITV interested in a story on honour killings and inter-racial marriages and was commissioned to write a screenplay (Pariah) based on my life story. ITV balked at the content. Subsequently, trod the Wasteland before finding the grail again: a book deal with children's publisher, Chicken House. Killing Sound, a YA horror set on the London Underground, was published by them in September 2014. The book, originally written for older teens (16+) and adults, was censoriously edited by the publishers to fit a much younger demographic, and inevitably failed to reach either market; the grail proved elusive and I returned to writing something it was impossible to dilute. Daddy Dearest, a dark, psychological thriller, will be released in 2016.

Raine Taylor has one goal – justice for her murdered sister.  She knows Genie's husband strangled her and left her in an alley – Peter had been threatening to kill his wife for years.  The police said there was no proof Peter Northrup killed Genie.  So it was up to Raine to make him pay.

When Detective Connor Donovan answers a call about a trespasser outside Northrup's house, he finds a woman running down the street.  When he tries to stop her, he's left holding her hoodie as she strikes out like a ninja then vanishes like smoke. 

Connor quickly realizes Raine is his mysterious trespasser.  Now he has to figure out why she was outside Northrup's house at three A.M.  Raine isn't his usual criminal – she's a schoolteacher who coaches a tae-kwon-do team of under-privileged girls.   And he's wildly attracted to her.

Raine needs to stay away from Connor.  She has a plan to deal with Northrup, and she can't get involved with a cop.  But like two magnets drawing together, she can't resist him.  Can Connor help her find justice for Genie?  Or will her sister's killer claim another victim before they can stop him?

When Helen Brody needed her office repaired, she never expected that the contractor would be Jamie Evans, the man with whom she shared an unforgettable night a year earlier.

Jamie hasn’t forgotten Helen, either, and now that he’s found her, he’s determined not to let her get away again.

Helen can’t get involved with Jamie because he wants something she can’t give him, but she can’t deny the explosive, out of control attraction between them. As they try to work through their feelings, they find that the hit and run driver who destroyed Helen’s office has more plans for her. Will they have only a handful of nights together, or will they have the chance to build something lasting?

But on her way out of the office, she comes face to face with the killer – another FBI agent.

From the moment he sees her, Mac Donovan is intrigued by – and in lust with – their beautiful witness. After Lizzy disappears, he spends his free time tracking her down.

Book #5

Chicago cop Brendan Donovan loves the adrenaline rush of his role on a tactical team.  So when he’s assigned to an undercover job to ferret out the supplier of a new and deadly sex drug, he’s thrilled.  His partner is Cilla Marini, a detective he’d met recently during a traffic stop.  He’s intrigued by Cilla, but his sister told him that Cilla doesn’t date cops.  Which is exactly what they have to pretend to do.  Brendan loves a challenge.

Cilla is shocked to find out that Brendan is her mystery partner.  After an incident that forced her to transfer from her district and isolated her from her fellow cops, Cilla knows relationships with cops are off the table.  But she’s spent far too much time thinking about Brendan since he pulled her over for speeding.  Now, not only are they working together, they have to pose as a couple to find the source of the sex drug that’s already killed several men.

As the action heats up, Cilla and Brendan don’t have to pretend they want each other.  But when secrets put them both in danger, will they have each other’s back?  Or will their quarry divide and conquer them before they can find their way to happily ever after?

Finn isn’t the arrogant, egotistical actor Mia expected.  There’s more than meets the eye when it comes to the ‘most hated man in America’, Finn’s nickname since he cheated on his girlfriend, a beloved pop star.

But his stalker is lurking and the threat is escalating.  Although Mia’s feelings for Finn are growing, her job is to protect Finn, not fall in love with him.
