Mod Skin Labs was designed to deliver whole food nutritional support to the skin. Exotic ingredients and subtle scents combine in a new synergistic series to bring honest and effective, holistic whole-face care, without the use of harmful synthetics. They cultivate natural elements and use creativity to promote brilliantly designed skin accessories for the eco-conscious human.
I tried out the (Res)olution Ampoules ($40), a monthly 14 day system, exhibiting high potency anti-aging activity. It is fueled by the breakthrough phytoalexin, resveratrol. According to Mod Skin Labs, the purpose of the (Res)olution Ampoules is to experience unsurpassed improvement in texture, clarity, and a complete youthful radiance.
I simply apply the ampoule after thoroughly washing my face, concentrating mainly on my face and neck area. With combination skin, I didn’t experience any unnecessary breakouts when using this treatment. I felt a little tingle when applying this product, but not to a point where it was unbearable. It kept my skin looking quite radiant for a whole month! This is the perfect treatment to use if you have a special occasion to attend to, and you want to look at your very best.
I wouldn’t mind trying out the The Alchemist’s Mask ($30), Samurai Scrub Rice & Enzyme Face Polish ($30) and I.D. Zyne DMAE & Blue Green Algae ($34).
Mod Skin Labs can be found at Whole Foods Market and other locations around the country.

If you live in Houston, Dallas, or Austin put the I Play Tag & Save at Randalls sticker on your car’s rear window for a chance to win their $1,000 giveaway if you are spotted by your local participating radio station in a Randalls or Tom Thumb parking lot.
You can pick up a sticker at your local Randalls or Tom Thumb store. When I asked the cashier for one, they had them at the checkout aisle. Radio stations to listen to for hints on which parking lot they’ll visit to pick $1,000 winners are KODA Sunny 99.1 in Houston, KSCS The Big 96.3 in Dallas, and KKMJ Majic 95.5 in Austin. Seven winners will be selected in each city. The giveaway week for Houston and Dallas is Oct. 31 to Nov. 6. For Austin the giveaway week is Nov. 1 to Nov. 7.
Randalls has just lowered prices on thousands of items in their store to help their customers save money. These are real price reductions and you’ll see yellow tags with the “New Low Price” throughout the store. Thanks to Randalls, I’ll be shopping their next week with a gift card they gave me and sharing my savings strategies for Randalls plus giving away gift cards to a few lucky readers!

Personally I love to drink soymilk as a healthy treat when I can find it at a good price. My favorite flavor is Silk Light Chocolate because it’s only 120 calories per serving and tastes decadent while being a healthy treat. Whether you have soymilk occasionally or always have it in your fridge, I wanted to offer some money-saving tips that I’ve learned from my readers.
Ways to Save on Soymilk:
1. Shop Around – I hear that Walmart usually has the best prices on soymilk. Know your prices and compare. If a store is in your neighborhood and you drive by it anyways, it might be worth stopping to get a better price on a few products that you buy on a regular basis. I also scored some free Silk Soymilk at Target – the peelie coupon was on a 2-pack Kashi Cereal package on clearance.
2. Talk to your Grocer – Ask a store employee if they have sales on a regular basis on the soy milk you buy. Do they ever mark it down when it gets close to the expiration date? When is the best day of the week to catch any markdowns?
3. Contact the Manufacturer – Tell your favorite manufacturer that you would like coupons on your favorite soymilk. The most successful way to make this contact is by phone, but you can also e-mail a request. Tell them why you drink their soymilk and you may be pleasantly surprised by receiving some coupons.
4. Tell your Friends – They can collect coupons for you if they know what brand of soymilk you buy on a regular basis.

Today’s guest post comes to us from Kristie of This Side of Eternity!
About Kristie:
My name is Kristie and I am a homeschooling mom who is Saving Dollars and Sense by bringing you all the best deals, coupons, freebies, giveaways, and ideas that I can find on This Side of Eternity, and looking to serve the King in all I do.
One of the main areas of our budget that I have been able to scale back on considerably is our grocery budget. I should probably tell you up front that I would not expect anyone to stick to the budget we have set in place for our family at this time which is $200 a month. My husband has been out of work on and off for about a year now, so it has been necessary for us to change our shopping habits.
While I would have only bought organic all natural peanut butter or meats a year ago, I have had to adjust my thinking on these things since my husband has been out of work. My suggestion is to cut costs wherever it is possible.
There is always room for improvement.
Here are some of the easiest ways to cut your grocery bill quickly.
1. Stock up when something is on sale. There are things that we use regularly like ketchup. When I can find ketchup on sale and free with a coupon, I’ll pick up several. This saves me from spending unnecessarily on something when we run out while there is no sale.
2. Always buy marked downs. I rarely buy meat or bread unless it is on markdown. You can ask your grocer when they regularly do mark downs for the best selection. My Meijer seems to do this on Friday mornings. I plan my menus around what I find on mark down instead of planning my menu first and looking for meats after to save.
3. Learn to use coupons. I cannot tell you how important it is to use coupons. I purchase 2 papers each Sunday just for the coupons inside. I save way more that the cost of 2 papers, so it is totally worth it for me. There are also several places online to get coupons as well.
4. Make a list. But, more importantly, stick to the list! I use to make a list, but once I got to the store I would see other things that I wanted and add them to the cart thinking its only a dollar. But, can I just say that those dollars add up quickly and you’ll leave the register wondering how you spent so much more money that you had planned on spending.
5. Leave a little room. If I know that I have $50 for my weekly grocery budget, am not going to spend every single cent while planning out my list. The reason for this is that there are always great mark downs that when matched with the right coupon will be practically free. If you don’t leave yourself a couple dollars you won’t be able to take advantage of these situations which will save you money down the road.
