It cleans and shines gold, silver, platinum, diamonds and other precious and semi-precious stones. So it's truly a complement to any jewelry the bride dons on her wedding day.

Smoothie Recipies with IdealShape

I Recently  received The idealshake  chocolate meal replacement shake from IdealShape to review

My lunch is VERY early (10:30) and I usually just have some hummas and crackers so the time I get home (2:30) I'm starving

these smoothies have served as a late lunch for me for the last month or so, I am a very snack person and I try to snack healthily( veggies, nuts etc.) but sometimes I just want something sweet

I'm not sure if these would be considered shakes or smoothies because smoothies have fruit and shakes have dairy

And I used both


Ingredients
1 cup vanilla ice cream

1/4 cup idealshake  chocolate meal replacement shake 

1 cup lowfat milk 

2 cups mixed berries


Place in Blender, blend until smooth, pour, enjoy!

About the brand

The GOLD ELEMENTS line offers advanced and effective cosmetic treatments and customized facials, giving an over all treatment to the skin. It also aids the reduction of  wrinkles and helps brighten the complexion. Inspired by advanced cosmetic research it contains effective age defying ingredients combined with trace  elements of gold to give a youthful appearance to your skin.  For over thousands of years, genuine gold has been used in all cultures to glamour the human body. It sustains our senses and fires our imagination. The GOLD ELEMENTS line of products brings all these magical assets directly to you, in unique, active skin care applications. We pressure mount the gold leaves until a pliable cosmetic golden tissue is formed, so that when they are introduced into the cosmetic application the results are remarkable. This unique process allows tiny particles of gold to envelop the top layer of skin, creating a wonderfully subtle and radiant sheen. All skin types benefit in appearance from this uniquely stimulating and soothing application. The residual reflective particles cause light to dance across the skin, minimizing blemishes, wrinkles, and fine lines.

Eye Serum
After a few uses I felt a little bit of  firming   and the oil-free serum moisturizes the skin causing a lifting effect. Thus, wrinkles are reduced, the skin is smoothed and rejuvenated, skin tone is restored, and its structure reinforced.
Eye Cream
This ultra-modern formula is suitable for all skin types. The eye cream isn't greasy and absorbs very easily. It doesn't smell amazing but doesn't smell bad.
Before and after pictures coming soon

how to apply
Eye Serum
 Apply 2 to 5 drops onto fingertips and massage gently onto eye area. Use twice daily.
Eye Cream
Gently massage the cream in circular soft movements around the eyes. Apply make-up as desired.
