Joanna Vargas Daily Serum earns its place as that quintessential elixir in your beauty regimen, promising to rejuvenate and revitalize your skin with every application. Here’s why this serum is gaining a spot on vanity tables worldwide and might just be the perfect addition to your daily skincare routine.

What Makes Joanna Vargas Daily Serum Special?

Joanna Vargas, known for her high-end skincare line, designed the Daily Serum inspired by the nourishment green juices offer our bodies. The serum is packed with vitamins and antioxidants that mimic these health benefits for your skin. Its standout feature is its ingredient list – a robust blend of vitamins A, C, E, and F, which synergistically combat premature aging, promote hydration, and brighten the skin tone.

The Power of Green in a Bottle

At the heart of this serum is its chlorophyll-rich formulation. Chlorophyll, the pigment that gives plants their green color, has been noted for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties. When used in skincare, chlorophyll acts as a detoxifier and rejuvenator, helping to clear the skin and impart a luminous, vibrant complexion.

Key Ingredients

• Hyaluronic Acid: This hydrating powerhouse is well-known for its ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it essential for keeping the skin plump, hydrated, and youthful-looking.
• Oat Grass Juice: Rich in vitamins and minerals, oat grass juice helps soothe and heal the skin, reducing redness and irritation.
• Vitamin C: A superstar antioxidant, Vitamin C aids in repairing the skin from sun damage and environmental stressors, while also brightening and evening out skin tone.
• Goji Berries: A superfood hero, goji berries are loaded with antioxidants that enhance skin’s elasticity and fight off the aging effects of free radicals.

Benefits of Joanna Vargas Daily Serum

1. Hydration: The serum’s hyaluronic acid content deeply moisturizes the skin, leaving it supple and soft.
2. Brightening: Ingredients like vitamin C and goji berries work to enhance skin’s natural glow and even out pigmentation.
3. Anti-Aging: With a cocktail of vitamins A, C, E, and F, the serum supports skin cell renewal and collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
4. Soothing: Its blend of ingredients like oat grass juice provides calming effects that soothe irritated skin.

To incorporate Joanna Vargas Daily Serum into your skincare routine, apply a small amount to cleansed skin. Use gentle upward motions to spread the serum evenly across your face and neck.

Not Yo Soccer Mama

Starbucks, Kohls card, a new minivan? Not this mama. I am lucky to have coffee in my Tervis and remember to grab it on the way out the door. I am the mama who needs a smoke and 3 cups of coffee before anyone can speak to me. I am a fickle woman in the morning. After that coffee though I am ready to tackle the world most days. If my body decides to cooperate.

I am a Goodwill, thrift store clothes wearing bohemian princess. I don’t look like the other moms my age. I probably never will. My Monroe piercing is now and will forever be in my face. With my hoop nose ring, I am the queen of the white trash brigade. Rough around the edges; I am not refined and prefer plain talk over circles any day. It isn’t that I can’t keep up. It is because I am just straight up.

Domestic diva, that’s not me either. I will wash the same load of laundry 3 times because I forget that it is in there needing to go in the dryer. Spaghetti is my favorite dinner because everyone eats it.

Crunchy, forget it! I don’t have anyone to appease with my lifestyle but myself.

I had a lady eyeball my 44 inches long, thick and wild mane of hair the other day. She told me how she would cut it off to have a more professional appearance! Excuse me, lady! Cut your own hair. I don’t work and I am disabled. My hair and how I keep it is my own business.

Nah, I am not your average midlife crisis wearing floral print polo shirts mom. I am that long tie dye skirt with a flower in my hair and rings on every finger and maybe a toe mom. I am the one who listens to classical and indie folk with my kids. Punk and ska too. Take it or leave it, I am here to stay. This is my life and I love it.

 

Blog Challenge Post 1 Family Values

Where does one begin to explain the basis and foundation of the very life they lead? Where do you start when explaining the process that made you who you are? I will give this a try, but I don’t want to ramble on about this and that. I will begin with my present family values. 

1. Be kind to others. You never know what is going on in their lives.

2. Share. We may not be wealthy, but we have more than enough. 

3. Love each other.

4. Forgive easily. We all have faults and make mistakes. 

5. Learn from our mistakes. This will make #4 much easier.

6. Be considerate of other’s feelings. It doesn’t mean you have to agree to be considerate.

7. Give a platform free of judgement to hear each other out. Listen closely to those who are speaking.

8. Do things in our communities to give back. When you help others you help yourself.

9. This is a equality based home. Nobody is above chores. 

10. Most of all, tell each other that you love them a lot. Remind those you care about that you need them and what is special about them. 
These are just a few of the values that my family espouses. I feel as we continue to grow spiritually, intellectually and emotionally these can change, but they are values that stay constant in our lives. They’re in no specific order. 

Surviving The Kids

Watching my daughter turn into a cool young lady has been better than words can describe. Music has been a huge influence in my life. There is no life if you can’t feel a note floating on the air. Recently while snooping in her computer, because, even though she’s got a great head on her shoulders I am still mama, I found an epic playlist on her Youtube channel!

She has everything from Bob Marley to Foster the People to Aretha Franklin to the Lumineers to the Grateful Dead (insert mama moment of pride) to Mozart and Chopin! As her mama I have always encouraged art and music. I can’t sing or play an instrument, but I never really tried. We want so much more for our kids. Listening through her playlist gives me another way to relate to her. It seems her heart is on fire with love.

These tween and teen years are going to be difficult and confusing as a parent. I have to try and remember what it was like, but then again that 17 year old wild woman is still in me burning bright. This child is not me though. It will be a different wild child. One who’s soul I will grow to know because DNA is part of soul. She is an indie princess with a touch of Sheldon Cooper. This little person I have created is much cooler already than my basic 12 year self was. She has no interest in the gossip and trivial drivel that most tween girls get caught up in. She enjoys her solitude and reading. Art pours out of her fingers at an alarming rate.

The art, the art I know is words. She creates beauty with color. Where I paint a picture for your imaginaton to behold, she creates masterpieces that inspire and provoke thought. Since she was two years I have put crayons, paint, and pencils in her hand. This little girl who hates coloring books can now draw you one! We have always taken trips to museums and historically significant places. She is in band and chorus. I believe she sees every single note as it is played or heard. I believe her mind is the most beautiful place on earth.

I pray, I mean I pray hard that I don’t screw this up. I am her mama. I have made some serious mistakes in her little 12 years. I didn’t put my life aside until she was 6. I know this. It was so selfish. She never had a dad those years either. Not one who was any account anyway. I wonder if somewhere in there she holds contempt for me. Her heart is compassionate to me. We have grown up together. I pray she still loves me like she does now in 3 years, or 5, or 20. Life is messy, but this isn’t one of the ones I walked away from. I cleaned the mess that was my own bad choices up and made an amazing choice to get my shit together. Being a mama is one of the best things that ever happened to me. Being her mama is the absolute best!

I am baring too much of my soul in this blog. I don’t let people past the surface most days. My worries and fears are my own and shouldn’t be shared, but I believe fully in sharing the joys and victories. I am a person with many acquaintances and few close friends. Life is messy and this is a learning experience. I love being messy and real and raw. I only hope my daughter sees the courage and strength in letting my guard down.

 

I hope our love will not fade away…

New Journey

Life is messy sometimes, but isn’t that the beauty of it? I think so. Life got messy a little over a year ago for me. My chronic illnesses started to take a serious toll on my career life. It was a very hard and heavy decision to stop working. I have tried to find ways to make money from home. Nothing really ever worked out. I was overwhelmed with all those MLM businesses beating me down in  instagram and Facebook messengers. Join my team. We are the best company ever. I bet you know the spiel. Someone you know sells some crap that they believe in so much that they post on their timelines non-stop or start groups and add you in without permission. That’s so not my style. But listen, I am not knocking them for getting their hustle on. We all know I make things work out.

Hustling for your dinner isn’t easy. I enter contests and go to a ton of Twitter parties put on by same amazing brands and bloggers. I really envy those bloggers. It seems like they have it together. This is part of my goal. I want to have it together. My blog is part of that. I review products for BzzAgent, CrowdTap, Influenster, Tomoson, Smiley360 and 0.8liter. I stay super busy at home. I have also done some social media sharing projects and hope to get into that a bit more since it provides some income.

I have always loved writing. So many people have told me that if I were to write a book they would read it. For now, this blog will have to do. I hope to publish something at least three times a week. Now, if I can remember everything I learned in creative writing in college I will be doing great. At the moment I am doing well to remember where my shoes are most of the time. That is my chronically beautiful life. It is some sort of organized chaos.

I hope to find my niche in the blogger world. I am a mom, wife, internet and social media junkie, a social butterfly and beach bum. Between all of that I have plenty on my mind. I also have this no-nonsense approach I have to take in my life. If I don’t tell it like it is then the act of not speaking up and speaking out eats me alive. I have found living out loud is the best approach for me. Nobody really has to guess what I am thinking because I will usually spit it out. It isn’t always said in the most tactful manner either. I am a work in progress. But, like I said, life is messy. Sometimes I like to clean up those messes. Other times I will cover it with a towel and forget about it.

During my time writing I hope to introduce you to my family more. We are a wildly unique masterpiece. Each one of us is so different but we blend like a beautiful symphony.  My husband and kids are everything to me. My youngest lives with me while my older two live with their dad.  I can’t believe I have been a mom now for almost 18 years. Watching these kids grow always makes Landslide by Fleetwood Mac play in my head.

Life is messy, but all these small moments make it beautiful. Since getting sick I take the time to smell the roses. I seem to appreciate those small things more. I can’t wait to write more about those small things and the messy things and the beauty!

I Didn’t Even Brush My Hair Today

I am chronically ill. We talked a tad about that in my last blog post. I have Chiari Malformation Type 1, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Hypermobile Type, Syringomyelia and there is a darn good possibility I have Gastroperesis.

There are too many days like this for me to work. Everything hurts and I am exhausted. I know, you’re reading this and thinking “I am tired too and I have pain”. I understand and I am not here to do the Spoonie Olympics ( who is sicker than who). I am grateful for the good days. I do so much on my good days that I sometimes send myself into a flare up. Most of my posts on social media and my blogs won’t ever even be about this. I don’t like pity. I like people to understand why I stay home when I look perfectly healthy. Most people do. They get it. The one person who isn’t a spoonie too that gets it is my husband. My goodness, I love that man. He is my rock. He is here on the days I can barely make it through. John, my husband, has brushed my hair, helped me in the shower, installed shower bars so I can grab them during my dizzy spells, he cooks dinner and cleans, he helps with homework and takes care of Audie when I can’t. He is like a damn saint. I don’t know how or why some days he puts up with it. He works his behind off every day and then comes home to the hot mess that is his wife. I am thankful for him.

So, I bet you are wondering what a spoonie is?

In short this sums it up. I push through the pain daily. I slept nearly 16 hours yesterday. My body just couldn’t take much more. I needed to rest. We were on hurricane mode for a week and then another week cleaning up. There are just days when I can’t. All these illnesses combined are kicking my ass. Most days I like to think I win the battle.
