Review: Simple Protecting Light Moisturizer with SPF 15

A little over a week ago I came home from work to find a little package on the door step. I was flabbergasted when I opened it up to see it was a product from Simple! Yup, nope wasn't expecting it at all.

For the record, I have combination skin. I have an oily top of the T-zone, then dry everywhere else, especially my cheeks. My poor cheeks lap up any moisture given then they STILL die.

I normally use two different moisturizers, a heavy moisturizer during the winter and at night, that my dry skin still beats out (UGH!) and a light moisturizer during the spring/summer that tries to tame my oily skin.

So, I can definitely say I'm delighted with trying this, especially since it's basically my introduction to Simple Skincare!

Onward to the review!

There is no doubt that Isabelle Thornton of Le Chateau des Fleurs is talented. This French-girl-gone-Utah has a wildly popular blog full of interesting DIY posts, photography, giveaways, and great reviews. Aside from being an awesome blogger, she also creates fun apps for phones. Previously her "Make Me Skinny" or Bon Bon app has kept many entertained as they edited and adjusted photos on their iPhones, and now I'm excited to announce she's released an entirely new app! This one is different, and for Android!

Let's face it, sometimes you spend more time with your smart phone than you do with your spouse, friends, coworkers, and family... You sleep with it, eat with it, and admit it-you take it to the bathroom with you! With Smartphone DNA you are creating a new kind of experience with your Smartphone.

What is Smartphone DNA?

Smartphone DNA is an app dedicated to Twitter users, and it allows you to collect your Twitter DNA via your Android phone, and then compare it against other twitter users to see how much you match! This is a great way to locate new Twitter friends that have things in common with you!

How it works:

Smartphone DNA shows you a list of apps you currently have installed.
You select the apps you want to share as part of your DNA
Smartphone DNA shows you how closely you match the DNA of other users.

Smartphone DNA is 100% secure and controlled by you.

Monthly: March Favorites

Finally! Took me this long for this post because YouTube wouldn't upload my video. So you know what? I uploaded it from work. Oops. First time actually doing a favorites video, so hopefully I did ok. And there's a little blooper at the end. Not sure if my disclaimer of no cameras were harmed during the making of this video would actually be true with this. Hehe.

Without further ado, here we go!
