Stamp of approval

What made me happy today? Stamp of approval.
I had my end-year review at work today. We have performance reviews twice a year. But this one was a bit special for me, as this year at work was a bit special.
In early March of this year, I got promoted to a new role! And at the end of August, I was selected to go back to my old team. That transition is in full gear at the moment. I've also faced some challenging projects at work, with some issues (technical and otherwise).
But, as you've probably guessed, I got a great review! They said I did a great job, and that they were really happy to have me on board :-D
Seems like all of that hard work paid off in the end! Plus, I love my job :-)

The ultimate trio

What made me happy today? The ultimate trio.
I can hear you wondering 'what is the ultimate trio,'. Well, wonder no longer :-) The ultimate trio is BodyTonique classic, repair & replenish and miracle.
I've been using BodyTonique classic for a while now. But due to a birthday promotion, my next order of BodyTonique included samplers of repair & replenish and miracle.
When I finally got them, I tried them out the same evening. I love them both! Repair & replenish came in a nice small bottle with a spray top. Miracle was delivered in a cute little jar. Liz (the creator of BodyTonique) had included a very sweet, hand-written thank you card!
They both have a very nice scent, which is a bonus. If you remember, I don't really like the scent of BodyTonique classic so I always add a few drops of essential lavender oil to it. But what they do for your skin is amazing. My skin has never ever been this soft! It's happy, toned, firm. Any blemishes I get (yay, hormonal acne) disappear much faster and don't leave marks. My pores have gotten smaller too :-) These products were given their names for a good reason, it seems!
Fair warning though: you want to keep repair & replenish and miracle away from your eyes because it stings if it gets in them. And I will say that I personally don't use the repair & replenish in the morning as it's oily and leaves my face too greasy. I have naturally oily skin, so your experiences may be different.
But these products are amazing! I really recommend them! I've said it before, but these are the first skin care products I've been able to use for such a long time without any adverse reactions. So if you want the best skin of your life, go order the ultimate trio!

Happy skin

What made me happy today? Having happy skin!
Almost two months ago, I started using BodyTonique. Now, I've almost finished the first bottle, and I thought I'd let you know what I think.
In short: I love BodyTonique. It's the first skin-care product that I've been able to use for this long without any sort of allergic reaction.
More elaborate: BodyTonique is great for small cuts. It'll make the pain disappear in seconds. The cut I used it on was healed by the next morning. It's wonderful against burns as well. Leg + hot tea = first degree burn. Applied BodyTonique moments after the tea ended up on my leg, the relief was instantaneous. By the next morning, the burn was almost healed (although I still advise you to use water to cool larger / more severe burns!). It really is a drink for thirsty skin. My skin has never been smoother :-) Same goes for wrinkles on your face and neck. BodyTonique has a nice firming effect. My nails are very happy as well!
Red skin after getting your eyebrows waxed? Grab a cotton pad, apply some BodyTonique to said cotton pad, gently pat the cotton pad against the red area. The redness will be gone in seconds. And any wax residue will come of very easy with BodyTonique!
BodyTonique is a great travel companion, as it's a cleaning, toning and hydrating product in one bottle. Fair warning: the bottle contains 236 ml, and can therefor not be carried on to a plane. A problem that is easily solved, as 100 ml bottles have just hit the market!
Of course, all of the above is my personal experience, yours may be different. But I can show you this:

This picture was taken right before I started using BodyTonique. You can clearly see the wrinkles I have just above my nose, between my eyebrows.


This picture was taken after two months of BodyTonique. See how those lines are gone! (and yes, that's a tiara) My complexion looks better too!

Mid-year review

What made me happy today? My mid-year review!
Yup, it's that time of year again. Time to see how you're doing at work. I was rather nervous, because I was recently promoted, and got a different boss. But when I told my boyfriend about being nervous, he said that I had nothing to worry about. I hadn't gotten any negative feedback on my work so far, I actually received some compliments on how I was doing!
Turns out he was absolutely right. My boss started my review off with 'you've taken a super-start' and then followed it by saying I'm a hard worker, I'm driven, enthusiastic, result-oriented and all that jazz! She also complimented me on being able to get the hang of my new role fast, and in a challenging time (the projects I'm working on are both in crucial phases). And she said that I should continue like this, which I fully intend to!
I was so happy to hear this! Getting appreciated for what you do is so nice!
