A lace-up top can be subtly sexy or more romantic, like a soft blouse, a poet’s shirt, or even a peasant top. Angie at Your True Self Blog also likes a t-shirt with a lace-up neckline as a camisole, tank, short-sleeve, long-sleeve, or tunic length top. These can be worn on their own in warm weather and layered during cool weather. Take a look at a few of Angie's ideas on how to wear lace-up tops, lattice tops or criss cross tops!

Unusual Beauty Finds

In the ever-evolving world of beauty, there’s always something new and surprising to discover. While familiar ingredients have their place, I’m always sharing tips—sometimes a bit crazy—that highlight the power of lesser-known ingredients. 

 

Unconventional beauty finds like bee venom, snail mucus, and mushroom spores may sound strange, but they offer unique properties that can elevate your routine in unexpected ways. Whether for skincare or overall wellness, these ingredients might just be the secret to achieving your beauty goals.

 

Bee Venom In Skincare

Bee venom for your skin, often called nature's Botox,is renowned for its ability to boost collagen production, reduce fine lines, and firm the skin. By mimicking a mild sting, it increases blood circulation and stimulates collagen and elastin, giving your skin a natural lift and a smoother appearance.

 

Snail Mucus For Wrinkles

Snail mucus, a star ingredient in Korean skincare, is packed with glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid, and glycolic acid. It hydrates, repairs, and revitalizes the skin, improving texture and reducing scars. Despite its unusual source, snail mucus is a powerhouse for achieving a glowing complexion.

 

Mushrooms Spores

Mushrooms are gaining attention for their antioxidant-rich properties that protect the skin and reduce inflammation. But beyond traditional skincare, an intriguing new find is mushroom spores. You might be wondering where to get them. 

 

If so, browse SporesMD magic mushroom spores collection, which offers unique ways to bring more peace and calm into your life. These spores present a fresh option for enhancing your overall well-being, providing more opportunities to take charge of your health.

Jelessi Torche Red LED Light Therapy Combined With Venofye Bee Venom For Younger Looking Skin

Looking for the ultimate non-surgical solution for younger looking skin, then do I have a skincare regimen for you. The beauty tool, the Jelessi Torche combined with Venofye Iron Bee Vemon transforming cream. This powerful combination helps to target fine lines, wrinkles and maturing areas of your face and neck.

Medically tested and NASA approved the Jelessi Torche uses red LED infrared technology to stimulate cellular activity to achieve Dr. office like benefits in the comfort of your home.  Unlike some other treatments out on the market, the Torches Red LEDs penetrate much deeper into the skin, which helps in producing cellular turnover, contributing to the production of collagen, resulting in younger looking skin.

You see as we age our collagen production slows down and our skin loses its tone resulting in those unwanted fine lines and wrinkles! Hence having a product at your fingertips is a benefit in my book.

So, if you want to find out how this fantastic Jelessi Torche can work for you, continue reading.

What The Heck Is LED Red Light Therapy And How Does It Work

Now, before I get into the product, I think it is essential that you understand the benefits of LED red light therapy. 

LED In Skincare

Not to get too technical, but LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. These wavelengths, unlike some other wavelengths, are absorbed into the skin where it can heat and constructively impact the cellular process to target problem skin areas. Basically, this burst of energy triggers a response for your body, healing your skin from the inside out.  And no worries, unlike sun rays this has no harmful UV elements as red-light therapy uses light energy which cannot ionize the cells and will not cause them to alter, mutate or change; it is non-evasive anti-aging treatment.

Benefits Of LED Red Light Therapy

While I touched briefly at the beginning on the benefits of RED light therapy, to recap red light therapy can be used to...

• Increase circulation, which helps to deliver oxygenation and nutrients to the skin, resulting in the production of collagen and elastin, the proteins that make the skin supple and soft.
• The red rays penetrate deep into skin’s layers – more profound than any other colors.
• Reduce skin inflammation.
• Decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Speeds up the process of skin cell reproduction and healing.
• Enhance the effects of your skincare products, by speeding up the absorption process and penetrating them deeper into the skin where it needs to be to work.

Review Of The Jelessi Torche And How To Use It

Now that you understand the benefits and what the heck red light therapy is and how it can benefit you, let's get into the product, so you too can benefit from Jelessi Torche.

The Torche will help you to achieve a visible improvement in the skin in about 3-5 weeks. (I will be doing a follow up to share my results). Using the breakthrough dermal heat and inferred red LED light, the Jelessi helps stimulate blood flow to targeted areas enabling users to achieve a more flawless, rejuvenated appearance instantly.

Redness Is Hightlighting The Area's Of Treatment, This Redness Is Not The Result Of Using The Device

Treatment
The treatment is simple, and this device focuses on three areas, the face, forehead and around the eye area. However, you cannot use this on your eyelids.  Suggested treatment is about 2-3 times per week.

Step 1: You want to start with a clean DRY face.
Step 2: Remove the Torche from its charging device, turn on it on and press the heat button to prepare it for treatment.
Step 3: Place the device on your skin, it will automatically turn on with contact with the surface, and it will gradually heat up to 105 degrees.
Step 4: Glide the device along the areas of most concerns in soft circular motions, with light pressure. For me, this is my laugh lines, the 11’s between my eyes, premature wrinkles on the forehead, and fine lines around the eyes.
Step 5: You want to use the device for a total of 5-7 minutes on each troubled area. So, in total about 15-20 mins. Depending on what you need to focus on. Once you are finished, you want to turn the device off.
Step 6: Complete with your favorite moisturizer and in my case my bee venom product from VenoFye, see details below on this product below.
Step 7: Clean the device. To ensure the longevity of the device proper cleaning is essential.  The Jelessi Torche comes with a cleaning cloth to cleanse and make sure to return the device to charging port after every use.

IMPORTANT CLEANING TIPS: 
While they do suggest, you can clean the surface with a slightly damp alcohol pad to remove oils and prevent a build-up. You do not want to clean the device with any liquid or fluid to avoid the risk of electric shock.

What To Expect During Treatment
I am not discussing the benefits here, as this is more of the experience while using the device.

• When starting you may feel a warm sensation, this is normal and should subside within an hour after the session.
• Mild Redness: After each treatment, you may notice some redness, I did.  However, if you experience any discomfort or skin redness that last for over 24 hours, discontinue use.
• Noise: This kind of freaked me out as I did not notice this at first in the instruction manual. But you will hear a fan noise that turns on and off during the treatment.  It is a safety feature that helps to regulate the skin temperature during use.

Post Treatment With Venofye Iron Bee Transforming Cream

In conjunction with the device moisturizing is essential.  I am a major fan of Bee Venom skincare products. My all-time favorite is the Venofye line. Hence after using my Torche, I apply Iron Bee Transforming Cream from Venofye. This cream helps to rev up and restore a more youthful suppleness to my skin.

I like that it is lightweight, and not only does it have the effects of real Bee Venom, it also combines Vitamin A Retinyl Palmitate with a plethora of anti-aging botanicals that will leave your skin looking and feeling smoother, softer and more resilient.

So, as you can see the application of RED LED therapy can be very beneficial to the skin, which is probably why it is one of the top treatments for aging skin. Combine that with the effects of bee venom and you are on your way to a more youthful complexion.

Disclaimer
Lastly, I am not a trained medical professional. This device was sent for me to review. So, for those of you have any skin issues, such as systemic lupus, polymorphic light eruption, history of light triggered seizures, going under radiation, chemo, etc. you should not use this product. If need be consult a professional prior to using. 

Why The Heck Do I Need To Add Venofye Bee Venom Products To My Skincare Routine

This is my 4th post in my what the heck series, and today I am going to be talking about Bee Venom and the benefits of adding it to your skincare routine!

Now if you are a friend of mine you probably think I would be the last person that would add this to my skincare regimen as I am scared to death of bees!

While I know honey is fantastic to add to your skincare routine as it is loaded with antibacterial properties and packed with nutrients and healing compounds all of which can help your complexion. Bee venom shares some of these same qualities, plus some other added anti-aging benefits.

The Many Benefits Of Adding Bee Venom To Your Skincare Regimen  

"The advantage of adding Bee Venom (Apitoxin) to your skincare to routine is its ability to trick the skin into believing that if you have been stung, thereby increasing the production of collagen and blood circulation," says Natalie Zinder, a product developer who works with Venofye. This rush of blood may also help the skin's appearance and lead to a gentle plumping and tightening sensation that will diminish the signs of aging.  And if that wasn’t enough Bee Venom is also known to be comprised of 21 naturally occurring components such as enzymes, amino acids, and peptides.

So, if you want to find out what the BUZZ is all about by adding “Nature’s Botox,” AKA Bee Venom to trick your skin into thinking it’s been stung which causes it to plump and tighten continue reading.

For this post, I partnered up with Venofye, one of the brands capitalizing on the power of bee venom. Venofye sent me some products in their Queen Bee Collection, which consists of a moisturizer, Vitamin C serum, facial peel, and eye cream.

Now, I’ve been using these products for about two weeks and while at first I was a bit scared to try them as I am allergic to bees I was interested in the effectiveness of these products, and I must say that I am loving them.

Venofye Queen Bee Facial Peel
First up is my all-time favorite in this skincare line, the Queen Bee Facial Peel. This stuff is the bee’s knees! It literally sloughs off your dead skin cells which you can visibly see when using it. I was very intrigued by this sloughing action and did some research on it. While this is called a peel, it is actually a gentle physical exfoliant, like a scrub, not a chemical exfoliant, as that would probably burn the skin! So no worries this is safe on the skin.

So how does this work? The fibers that form from the ingredients "ball up" with the rubbing motion on your skin.  This combined with the oils, dirt and dead skin cells are what is creating this balling action, it is pretty cool. While it is intense, it is gentle on the skin, leaving my skin feeling refreshed, brighter and rejuvenated.

I am hooked on this product and will most certainly be adding this to my weekly skincare routine.

Venofye Vitamin C Serum
The changes our skin has over the years requires a great skincare must-have product, and for me, it is the anti-aging superstar, Vitamin C serum!  You see, the younger we are the more vitamin C we have in our skin.  But as we get older our skin changes, aside from natural aging and stress, we are also exposing ourselves to tons environmental factors!

Some of these factors include dirt, dust, makeup, sweat, parabens and other products and preservatives that can severely disrupt our body’s natural processes, which leads to premature aging.  However, by adding a vitamin C serum to your skincare routine, you can help protect our skin against these age provoking dangers.

And the remarkable thing about the Vitamin C serum from the Queen B collection is that it’s formulated with two forms of Vitamin C (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate and Ascorbyl Palmitate). These ingredients combined with the bee venom further strengthens our skins durability, enabling us to achieve a better, healthy complexion as well as helping to reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture.

Venofye Day Moisturizer
This daytime moisturizer is lightweight and works in combination with the Vitamin C Serum.  Due to the rare combination of ingredients in this moisturizer and the cost, I did not want to waste it. Hence,  I applied it with my Michael Todd Beauty Sonic Eraser Pro as the last thing I want to do is to waste this fantastic moisturizer on my fingers. 

I will tell you that with this moisturizer I could feel a tingly effect of the bee venom, but it left my skin with a luminous glow.

 
The Royal Jelly Bee Eye Firming Cream
It’s time to be treated like royalty and help get rid those designer bags, as I call them under my eyes with this eye firming cream.

This firming eye cream is formulated with some other excellent ingredients like caffeine, Shea butter, vitamin E and green tea all in which help to energize the skin under your eyes and diminish the look of puffiness and other issues you may have. This too I could feel some tingly and tightening when using, which to me is a plus, as I could feel it in action.

BONUS:
Now if Bee Venom wasn’t crazy enough, this skincare line has a special guest to join the bees… A snake! Now, no worries as there are no bites involved, but just snake venom, that can help in preventing and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  So stay tuned, as I will be sharing with you some details on this Viperlift product on my Instagram page!



So, there you have it another post in my what the heck series. And beauties, for those of you who want to feel like the younger queen bee, then come spoil yourself with the Venofye Queen Bee Collection! 

Oh, and no worries there are no bees harmed while extracting the bee venom. Venofye is 100% animal-friendly and is entirely against any cruelty towards animals, and none of their products have been tested on animals.
