Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

   With Summer coming, I want my skin to be ready with a natural glow and smoothness, so that sun-kissed look can be happening year round! With Tarnishing Body Serum by Reviv Serums, I can do just that, while encouraging my skin to renew its cells and produce a healthy looking tone. This serum is said to help improve fine lines, decrease wrinkles, soften skin, and so much more. It contains glow boosting Syn-Glow peptides to work deep down in the skin and produce results within 5 days!

 

 

   I've been using this product for a bit now, and though I'm not sure if it's working for me, it does absorb into the skin well. For some reason, it does cause my skin to make red dots upon using, but it fades within minutes. Since it doesn't sting or itch, I will continue using this product to see the benefits. The bright orange color is pretty, but also daunting, as you might think it will stain, but surprisingly it doesn't! The serum isn't made to have a scent, but it does have a very faint smell, that I just can't put my finger on. Maybe earthy or that of a foundation type makeup... The scent fades pretty quickly without being bothersome, and it can be applied under your daily moisturizer. The serum is designed for all skin types and made vegan, with environmentally clean ingredients.

Quick and Easy Homemade Pumpkin Pie

   On behalf of Pi Day, I figured I'd share my very first homemade Pumpkin Pie, made from scratch! I made this awhile back, for Thanksgiving, (the only time of year I eat Pumpkin Pie 😄) and I think it turned out pretty good!

   Days before I started, I cooked a pumpkin in the oven, to get the insides all soft and mushy. I prepared an easy pie crust with the following ingredients:

 

• 1 1/2 Cup of Flour
• 1 tsp of Sugar
• 1/2 tsp of Salt
• 1/2 Cup of Cold Butter Chopped Up
  
• 3 TBS of Cold Water

 

    Mix all of the ingredients together until it forms a nice ball of dough. Once combined, wrap dough and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes. While the dough is chilling, begin making your pumpkin pie filling. To do this, mix together the following ingredients:

• 3 Eggs
• 2 Cups of Pureed Pumpkin
• 1 Cup of Heavy Cream
• 1 tsp of Vanilla Extract
• 3/4 Cup of Brown Sugar
• 1/2 tsp of Salt
• 2 tsp of Cinnamon 

 

    When all the pie filling ingredients were combined, I took the dough from the fridge and shaped a crust into the greased pie pan. You can roll the ball and flatten it on the counter top, with some extra flour, but I was in a hurry so I just shaped it in the pan. This worked just fine! It may not have come out as pretty but crimping the edges with a fork helped :-) 

 

   Once the crust was ready, I used a fork to poke around inside and then poured the pie filling into the (still unbaked) crust. I then baked this at 425° for 15-20 minutes, then reduced the temperature to 350° and continued to cook the pie for 50-60 minutes. Once baked all the way through, I removed the pie from the oven and let it cool. 

 

   I then fridged the pie over night, for our Thanksgiving celebration the next day! It tasted just like a pumpkin pie should, although I think next time I would like the crust slightly sweeter and a little thinner. This pie tastes delicious on its own, cold, or warmed with with a dollop or two of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
