Healing After Pet Loss: Navigating Your Grief

By
Losing a pet is a uniquely painful experience. For many of us without children, our pets aren't just animals; they're our family. They're our confidants, our daily companions, and a source of unconditional love. So when they're gone, the silence they leave behind is deafening. I recently lost my guinea pig, Cinnamon, after almost five years together. The worst part was that I had to sit there and watch her die, completely helpless. There wasn't a single vet in a 100-mile radius who would see her. The feeling of watching a beloved friend suffer and not being able to do a single thing about it is something that will stick with me for a long time. R.I.P. Cinnamon! ðŸ’” This kind of loss brings a complicated type of grief. It's not just sadness; it's layered with guilt, anger, and a profound sense of failure, even when there was nothing you could have done. The world keeps moving, but your little world has stopped. People, often with good intentions, might say t...

Get Firmer, Smoother & Brighter Skin: Reviv-C Serum Review

By

REVIV-C 36% VITAMIN C SERUM
Source: Reviv Serums

Note: This was resurrected from Tumblr thanks to Google cache and was originally posted on April 4, 2020.

It’s a known fact that as we age, our skin loses elasticity and firmness; it becomes weaker and thinner which allows wrinkles to set in. Did you know that we actually lose a teaspoon of collagen from our faces every year after age 30!? Crazy, right? This is why we need to supplement our skin with products like serums and moisturizers. The Reviv-C 36% Vitamin C Serum from RevivSerums is one that helps to improve your skin in many ways.

This serum visibly lessens lines and wrinkles, improves skin texture and firmness, reduces age spots and uneven tone, erases post-acne hyperpigmentation, and protects against superoxides. As someone in their late 30s with aging skin who still has the occasional breakout (even more now due to the stress of our new normal), a product like this is invaluable. My main concerns are fine lines and post-acne hyperpigmentation.

My duty to you: I received this product to try out and evaluate for free. I don’t sugar-coat and always give my 100% honest opinion - good AND bad!

My Experience with Reviv-C Serum

I have been using the product for about two weeks now. I’ve taken before and after pictures below and I can see a slight difference. There are some dark spots that are much lighter or not visible anymore, so that’s a good thing. A product like this is only going to get better over time.

The serum is basically a clear liquid that looks like water. It’s easy to apply by dispensing into your hand (with the included dropper) and then patting onto your face. You have to be very careful, though, around the eye area. Reviv-C Serum is very potent and if you get it into your eyes it will burn (I learned the hard way). Besides that, I haven’t noticed any adverse reactions or side effects at all.

I’m still not sure how much to use (I can’t seem to find the specifics anywhere). For now, I’ve been using 6 drops mixed with Aloe Vera gel (because I have sensitive skin). I do this when I wake up and after washing my face, of course. 

This dosage has been working well for me. Considering the large bottle and the small amount I’ve been using, this bottle is going to easily last a few months. This makes it well worth the steep price tag.

The Key Ingredients in Reviv-C Serum

  • 25% Et-VC™ ETHYLATED L-ASCORBIC ACID
  • 11% THD ASCORBATE
  • KAKADU PLUM
  • 2.0% PHLORETIN
  • 0.5% FERULIC ACID
  • BIOCELL SOD (SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE)
  • GLUTATHIONE
You can learn more about each ingredient on the Reviv-C Serum product page. 

Final Thoughts

The powerful Reviv-C serum can be compared to industry bestsellers like:

  • Dermadoctor Kakadu C 20% Vitamin C Serum with Ferulic Acid & Vitamin E
  • SkinCeuticals Phloretin Ferulic Serum
  • SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic with 15% l-Ascorbic Acid
  • Peter Thomas Roth Potent-C Power Serum with 20% TDHA

However, it’s less expensive than all of those brands, so you truly have nothing to lose in trying it. If you’re over the age of 30, this serum is a must-have. 

Also, if you’re stressing even more now with the pandemic going on, you’re probably also going to notice more signs of aging and/or blemishes because sadly, stress literally and physically shows on your face! This serum can and will help you to look better which in turn helps you feel better.

Honestly, RevivSerums is a brand that I trust. All of their products that I’ve had the honor of trying out have worked very well for me. If you do give it a try, be sure to stop by and let me know how you like it in the comments! 

What are you currently doing to supplement your skin during this stressful time of uncertainty?

The Stray Cat Who Chose Me: My Kitten Rescue Story

By
Image
It all started with a stray cat, a beautiful black and gold tortoiseshell. I began feeding her back in April, just leaving some food out for her. By mid-May, she was a regular visitor, and I noticed she was pregnant. My heart just went out to this expectant mother. I made it my mission to keep her well-fed, which, let me tell you, was a task. Her appetite was huge, and she was eating three to four times a day. She practically lived in our yard, a silent agreement that this was her safe space. She'd be there to greet me in the morning and would come and go throughout the day. My indoor cat, Adah, eventually got used to her presence, a big step considering her initial reaction was to lunge at the window. The stray, whom I affectionately started thinking of as “Mama Cat” (I even called her “mama”), seemed to settle in, making our yard her home. As June progressed, she started staying even after sunset, a sign of her growing trust. The dynamic was peaceful, and I was happy to provide ...

The Story of God and Us Review: A Must-Read

By
Image
I love reading the Bible, but I can admit that sometimes I get lost in the details. It's easy to see the individual books as separate stories instead of one continuous narrative. I've often wanted a guide that connects all the dots, and that's exactly what I found in The Story of God and Us by Jonathan Murphy. The first thing I noticed was the eye-catching cover, but what I found inside was even better. This book presents God's grand narrative in a way that is clear, engaging, and deeply personal, showing how we are all an important part of it. Who is Jonathan Murphy? The Author Behind the Story Before diving into the book, it helps to know the author. The Jonathan Murphy author credit belongs to the senior pastor of Stonebriar Community Church and a professor at the respected Dallas Theological Seminary . This isn't just someone with a theory; he dedicates his life to teaching the Bible. His experience as a pastor comes through in his writing. He’s not just ...

200+ Must-Have Mods for The Sims 2 (Ultimate List)

By

The Sims 2, while a classic, can feel a bit dated compared to newer games. However, with the right mods and custom content (CC), you can breathe new life into your game and make it even more enjoyable. I've compiled a list of must-have mods and a few CC items, many of which I personally use and love. They add so much variety and personality, and many even fix pesky bugs. So, let's get modding! © A Little Bit Of Me Important Notes:  Some of the graphics and UI enhancement mods are not needed for the 2025 Sims 2 Legacy Collection since this version  is already optimized for modern hardware as detailed here . Clean UI and Starship UI (mentioned below)  already include multiple UI improvements ( e.g., custom loading screens, widescreen CAS, and improved family tree ), so you won't need to install additional mods for those things. The TS2 Starter Pack ( a completely free version of The Sims 2 available on Github )  already comes with numerous graphics and UI optim...

50 Exciting Mods to Enhance Your Sims 3 Experience

Remember the good old days of The Sims 3? That game was a total game-changer when it hit the scene back in 2009 — and it's still one of my favorite games of all time! It took everything we loved about The Sims 2 and cranked it up to eleven. Let's take a quick trip down memory lane and see why The Sims 3 still holds a special place in our hearts, even with The Sims 4 out there. The Sims 3: Why It's Still Awesome Picture this: You're controlling your Sim at home, and suddenly you decide you want to visit the park across town. In The Sims 2, you'd have to sit through a long loading screen. But in The Sims 3? Bam! You just walk or ride right over. No waiting, no fuss. That open-world concept was mind-blowing at the time, and honestly, it's still pretty cool today ( yes, I still play occassionally ). The Sims 3 also lets us get super creative with our Sims' looks. Remember spending hours tweaking every little detail of your Sim's face? And don't even get...
