This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of éclos Skin Care for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Hey everyone! I've got a really super product to tell you all about. Would you like to hear some more information on this product? Well please read on then. I will try to give you some information on this product. It is called éclos Skin Care

I found out that eclos features Apple Stem Cells. And these are extracted from the rare Swiss Apple. This has shown to have tremendous ability to stimulate skin cells.  This will encourage aging skin to be a lot younger! Doesn't this sound very interesting? I have some more information about this also. Would you like to hear some more? Well then please read on!

I also learned that plant extracts, vitamins and minerals and antioxidants combined with the Apple Stem cell technology will help to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and tired skin. That sounds great! Don't you think? I would really be excited to try these products. eclos Skin Care seems really different from other anti-aging products. I like how they are using Apple Stem Cells - that sounds so cool! 

They are also different because similar products were only available at specialty department stores. And of course that usually meant a high price tag too. But now eclos is bringing you this active ingredient at a fraction of the price. They are the first brand to bring it to mainstream stores. So now beautiful and younger skin is available to all women! Yea!

You can buy a skin care kit. I would really like to try all of these. Here is what is included in a kit. First is the Facial Cleanser Skin Prep. I think this sound awesome! Also included are these products: Cellular Activator Face Serum, Moisture Therapy Regenerative Cream, Restorative Eye Cream, Instant Radiance Facial Scrub, Skin Renewal Clay Mask, and an eclos Terry Cloth Head Band. 

I would really love to try these products. I would love to rejuvenate my skin and to decrease some fine lines! If you would like to try them too visit their website to find out how!

Blog Tour: An American Family by: Peter Lefcourt

http://booktrib.com


I am participating in a blog tour. Please visit the blog tour:  here to find all the participants in this. Here is my exerpt from the book:

There was a beauty parlor in Westbury, ten minutes away, that was coming up for sale. The owner was moving to Florida and wanted to sell before the end of the year. If they got a second mortgage on their house, they could get the cash to make a quick offer and get the place cheap.

But they had to move fast, and Nathan didn’t like to move fast. He chewed everything over and over, the way he did his meat. Someone else was going to buy that place in Westbury soon if they didn’t make a move.

“I don’t know what he’s doing in Texas, anyway,” Vicky was saying. “No way they vote for him next year. Even with Lyndon on the ticket again.”

“That man gives me the creeps,” Lillian said, putting the emery board down and taking a cotton swab of astringent and beginning to dry the surface of the nails.


Guest Blog: How has your personal experience as a Jewish American influenced the book?
My experience growing up as a first-generation Polish American Jew in New York was the genesis of this book. I wanted to capture the emotional and psychological effects of the clash of the immigrant Jewish culture with the adopted American one. I was not interested so much in telling my story personally – this book is not an autobiographical novel – but the story of all immigrant cultures, Italian, Irish, African-American, Vietnamese, as well as Jewish. My father came to New York from a shtetl village in Poland in 1922 not knowing a word of English and became a lawyer; I grew up playing stickball on the streets of Queens and became a writer; my son grew up in Los Angeles, went to Yale and became a humanitarian worker who at the moment is in Kyrgyzstan. This evolution, over merely three generations, fascinates me. Our life experiences have been so different, and yet there is an identity linking us together.

I wanted to set this story against the enormous social changes that took place in the second half of the twentieth century: the cultural rift created by the Vietnam War, the rise of feminism, gay identity, the pervasive influence of music. And to show how my characters navigated these changes. I created the fictitious family, the Perls, and decided to tell the story through the shifting point of view of five siblings, all, like me, born in the 1940’s. I chose the two iconic dates of this period – November 22, 1963 and September 11, 2001 – as a parenthesis to enclose the era.

I was interested in the evolution of the family through all these changes – how it adapts to the most dramatic and sweeping changes and still survives as the emotional focus of our lives. I disagree with Tolstoy: all happy families are not alike.
