Morganna's 24 Carrot Glow Review

 This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.






Recently I was able to try out Morgannas Alchemy Laboratories 24 Carrot Glow. My skin is pretty healthy but over the years it has taken on some sun damage and has gone from a smooth feeling to tiny bumps mainly in my chin, mouth, and nose area. After using 24 Carrot Glow I have noticed softer skin and more of a glow. My face isn't as dull anymore. On the left you see before I started using 24 Carrot Glow and on the left after 30 days of using 24 Carrot Glow. Like I have said before, I don't wash my face every day because I don't wear makeup other than lip color most days and life gets busy. Even in these pictures, you can see the tiny areas on my chin near my mouth and nose how much more even the skin tone is and no more tiny bumps. One of the main ingredients in this moisturizer is Astaxanthin. 

What is Astaxanthin?
  • Astaxanthin is a super-powerful antioxidant found in tiny algae. It’s what gives salmon and shrimp their pink color! But it’s not just for seafood – it’s also amazing for your skin.

What Does Astaxanthin Do for My Skin?

  • Sun Shield: Think of it like a bodyguard for your skin cells, protecting them from the sun’s harmful rays.
  • Anti-Aging: It helps fight wrinkles and fine lines, keeping your skin looking younger and smoother.
  • Youthful Glow: Astaxanthin boosts your skin’s natural bounce and gives you a healthy, radiant complexion.


I have to be honest. I knew this was orange-tinted and was so worried about it leaving my face with an orange-like stain but I will assure you even though it is orange it did not change the color of my skin and I have pretty fair skin.









This was my face this morning after washing on the left and after applying the 24 Carrot Glow on the right. It gives my skin just a bit more of a glow, which brings out the sparkle in my eyes just a bit more too. My skin feels good and like most days I will leave this as is by just applying lip color, but if I go outside I will also apply facial sunscreen for extra protection. I am happy with this product so far and look forward to trying other products out to keep my skin healthy as I age.

90 days to a sharper mind

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here




 Zeitgeist sent me this Logic Puzzles Book for Brain Fitness: 90-Day Challenge to Sharpen the Mind and Strengthen Cognitive Skills with Enlarged Print to review. As we age we need to keep our minds healthy. One easy way to do that is through puzzles like these which can help improve your logical thinking skills by stimulating your brain, testing your knowledge, and developing your reasoning and creativity.

This book has 90 days worth of puzzles in 6 different formats from easy to hard and teaches you how to to solve the puzzles if you have never done them before. If you are like me you pick up assorted puzzle books and do your favorites but leave the puzzles you don't know how to do empty. The large print is great for those who need it.



Puzzles like this Logic Grid Puzzle on the left I would always try but never finish, not sure why but I never got the hang of them but the informational pages that taught me how to do these puzzles I am doing them on my own now and getting the answers right. I am 52 and I strive to learn new things each day and this was a win for me. Logic Grid puzzles sharpen your logic and reasoning, develops perseverance, and encourages you to see the world from different perspectives.




Sudoku puzzles like the puzzle in the top left-hand corner comes quite easily to me and even though this has easy to hard I still love doing them and usually just breeze right through them. It is nice to have both easy and hard puzzles to do to keep your mind sharp. Think back to all of the years you had to learn your multiplication tables, the practice of reciting them over and over again is why some of us can still recall them with little effort. Sudoku improves memory, deepens concentration, and increases your capacity to analyze how individual parts relate to a whole. 



Calcudoku is at the bottom of the left page. I have seen these but they are one of the puzzles I would skip over and now I am learning how to do them. Calcudoku helps improve number sense, develops problem-solving skills, and prevents memory loss.

Battleship is on the top right page and is one of my favorite games to play but solving it this way is quite different and took me a bit but I am now doing well with this puzzles as well. Battleship improves creativity, increases spatial reasoning, and helps develope logical deduction and reasoning.

Kakuro on the bottom right and though I have seen and skipped these I am looking forward to learning how to do these soon. Kakuro helps lengthen your attention span, helps develop highly methodical thinking patterns, and increases your ability to use resources efficiently.


Masyu, which I am sure I have seen but only a few times and will learn how to solve once I get to that spot in the book. Masyu enhances visual intelligence, boosts your pattern-recognition skills, and increases adaptive thinking.

Most of us want to look and feel young but that includes taking care of our minds too. Here is to stronger better minds for years to come.

Reviewing Reviv Serums Ultimate Serum

 This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.



Reviv Serums sent me their Ultimate Serum to try out. I have tried many facial products over the years and I am sure this is one of many more to come but I was pleasantly surprised by this Serum. I used this for 30 days and to be honest, it wasn't every day, but it was every day that I washed my face. I have a facial skin care regimen but I only do my regimen when I wash my face which has never been every day. I use my regular face wash, then a splash of cold water, and usually my moisturizer but during this time I used the Reviv Serums Ultimate Serum and then my moisturizer. I used this Serum on my face, neck, decolletage, and my hands. I was taught that whatever you put on your face you should put on your hands and I have done this my whole life. 



My before pictures are on the left and after on the right. Here you can see that my sunspots, freckles, and sun damage have cleared up a bit. This was after just one month of use. My skin color is more uniform and even though most people think I look more youthful than I  feel the serum has made me look just a bit more youthful.


Again on the left is before and on the right after. I'm not sure if you can see but there are three prominent spots under my eye on the left side and on the right side they have lightened considerably. 


Here on the top is the before and the bottom is the after. The lines on my forehead look about the same but the sun damage to my skin has lightened. My face looks brighter and my skin more clear. I am very happy with this product and would love to learn more about their other products.
