I know it’s fall when my typically oily skin starts to get dry patches and flake. Don’t get it twisted, there are so many things I love about the season, but the way it affects my skin is not one of them. Sometimes, even my most hydrating moisturizers seem to lose their appeal. I cover a bazillion different gels and creams as a shopping writer, but one, in particular, has caught my eye.

Youth To The People is a relatively fresh brand known for its vegan, superfood-packed formulas. I love its Superfood Cleanser, which is chock-full of kale, spinach and green tea. Who knew these green juice ingredients could also transform and nourish the skin? That’s just one of YTP’s innovative, fan-favorite formulas, but I’m here to introduce you to the Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream.

The product has a 4.7-star overall rating on the brand’s site, with over 700 perfect ratings. Shoppers are hooked on the moisturizer because of its plant extracts and peptide complex. These ingredients create a deeply hydrating cream that’s perfect for dry, reactive and sensitive skin.

The star of the show, an adaptogenic extract blend, targets dryness, irritation, redness and visible signs of aging. At the same time, peptides keep your skin barrier in check and rewind the clock on your complexion. It kind of sounds like the complete package, right? 

The face moisturizer gets the job done so well that one reviewer wrote, “This completely changed my skin. It’s sooooo soft and incredibly plump now!”

Say less—we’re on it and you should be, too. Shop the Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream from Youth To The People for all-around healthier skin.

Winter is just around the corner and fall already has my skin feeling drier than usual, so I’ll keep it short and sweet. That way, you can grab your own jar of this moisturizer ASAP.

Squalane, jojoba and shea butter are the main ingredients that are responsible for delivering deep hydration. They achieve this without clogging pores, which is a major bonus. As for the adaptogenic blend, ashwagandha, Rhodiola and reishi team up to protect, minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and hydrate. You’re probably used to seeing adaptogens on the ingredient lists for beverages that claim to calm your mind, but this formula proves that it has multiple uses and benefits. Adaptogens have actually been utilized in Eastern medicine and Ayurveda for thousands of years, per the brand.

Enough with ingredients, I’m going to turn it over to a few passionate shoppers who swear by the soothing face cream.

“Amazingly light and refreshing. I have dry skin and after I put this on it feels so satisfying… like my skin’s thirst for moisture has been quenched,” wrote one reviewer.

“This is an incredible product. Provides the right amount of moisture, and helps to make my skin appear smooth, as well as radiant. I feel that I am glowing when I put this on. I highly recommend trying this product,” another one raved. “I have sensitive skin, as well as allergies… and this is the best moisturizing product I have come by yet!”

“Never understood why my skin was always so angry and irritated, this changed everything! My skin is so calm and my redness is way down,” a third shopper wrote. 

The product boasts so many stellar reviews, I literally had a hard time choosing which ones to include in this story. That’s how coveted the moisturizer is! Shop Youth To The People’s Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream to avoid the dry patches and flakiness that usually crop up around this time of the year.

Whitney Rose’s Goodbye and Good Riddance Pajamas in Scottsdale

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 3 Episode 4 Fashion

While Whitney Rose may have said “Goodbye and Good Riddance” to her friendship with Heather Gay on last night’s episode of RHOSLC (especially when she ripped up the note ), she also said it with her cute brown pajamas. Which in our opinion was the perfect cozy set to wear while some Bad Weather was brewing (literally).

Fashionably,

“I love coffee, I love tea. I love the boys, and the boys love me.”

I chanted that silly jump-rope jingle hundreds of times on the Oak Knoll Playground, certain that I’d never acquire a taste for either coffee or tea. Little did I know.

My earliest coffee memory was watching Dad pour his morning doze into a saucer, slurping it as he leaned over the sink to avoid spilling it down his white office shirt.

I remember my mother sitting at the kitchen table (yellow formica, as I recall), chatting over steaming cups of coffee with a friend. I remember, too, being told that coffee would stunt my growth. I was big for my age, so I snuck a taste hoping it would retard my vertical development – YUCK!

I swore I’d never drink it. That resolve was strengthened by Mr. Ryshavy’s rancid coffee breath in sixth grade. I worshiped the man, but his coffee breath would send me reeling to my seat. Yet another reason to avoid coffee.

A Need for the Caffeine Perk

I changed my mind. I had to. As a sophomore at university, my procrastination had gotten the best of me. So, at 10 p.m. one night, a research paper and a final exam necessitated a quick dose of caffeine.

I hated Coke and refused to take No-Doz (drugs!), so what was left? Coffee. Ralph & Jerry’s Grocery was open ‘til midnight, so I headed out to buy some instant Jo. With a half cup of sugar, it wasn’t too bad, and it did the trick. I was up all night.

I decided it might behoove me to acquire a taste for the stuff. For the next few years, I searched out all the coffee-flavored sweets I could find to acclimate myself to coffee’s bitter taste.

Coffee ice cream was pretty good, and Coffee Nips were delicious. By the time I graduated, I actually chose to drink coffee on occasion, with a mere teaspoon of sugar.

Well, my taste buds have been further transformed by egg coffee, trips to Starbucks, treks through Europe, and finally, my own French press pot. Love the stuff – the stronger the better.

Coffee Offers Health Benefits

Over the years, coffee has gotten a bad rap, but more recently, it’s actually been proven to have some health benefits.

According to Donald Hensrud, M.D. of the Mayo Clinic, coffee offers protection “against Parkinson’s disease, type 2 diabetes, and liver disease, including liver cancer. Coffee also appears to improve cognitive function and decrease the risk of depression.”

Not only that, but consuming four to five cups of coffee a day has been shown to decrease the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, according to research by Dr. Chuanhai Cao at the University of South Florida.

Of course, drinking too much coffee can have health risks as well. As with most foods, moderation is the key.

Did You Know…?

• Brazil produces 40% of the world’s coffee, twice as much as second and third place Colombia and Vietnam.
• Coffee was discovered in Turkey around 800 A.D. and is currently the most widely consumed beverage in the world.
• In Turkey, the bride-to-be is expected to brew perfect Turkish coffee for her intended groom and his parents before they will approve the match, and then the husband promises to always keep the wife supplied with coffee beans. If he doesn’t, it’s grounds for divorce (pun intended).
• Beethoven was a coffee fanatic and counted out exactly 60 beans to brew each cup of coffee.
• The Americans, the French, and the Germans consume 65% of the world’s supply of coffee.
• Honoré de Balsac, a famous 19th century French writer, drank up to 40 cups of coffee a day.
• Coffee represents 75% of all the caffeine consumed in the United States (Coke comes second).
• Coffee beans are actually berries, not beans.
• The human body can absorb up to about 300 milligrams of caffeine at a given time. Additional amounts are sluffed off, providing no further stimulation. The body dissipates 20% of the caffeine in the system each hour.
• Dark roasted coffees actually have less caffeine than medium roasts, because the longer beans are roasted, the more caffeine burns off in the process.

So, enjoy! And remember the Turkish proverb, “Coffee should be black as hell, strong as death, and sweet as love.”

Meredith Marks’ Pink Vinyl Jacket in Scottsdale

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 3 Episode 4 Fashion

Pink lady! I love the pink vinyl jacket Meredith Marks wore out to dinner in Scottsdale on last night’s episode of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. And although it appears to be a vintage find from the ’70s, if we had to pick a word (well, two) to toast to right now over some ’42 tequila it would definitely be “Style Stealers.”
