Cellulite Defense Gel-Cream Review

I still have stretch marks from when I was prego with the kiddos. I've lost some weight, but some is still there.

Body Merry's Cellulite Defense Gel-Cream is made to combat cellulite with their unique Caffeine + Retinol + Seaweed formula.

Full List of Ingredients:

• Organic Herbal Mix (I do wish they'd state what that mix is)
• Organic Aloe
• MSM Methysulfonylmathane
• Sodium Stearate
• Kosher Vegetable Glycerin
• Organic Coconut Oil
• Menthol
• Cetyl Alcohol
• Caffeine
• Algae Extract
• Japanese Green Tea Leaf Extract
• Fragrance (I wish this wasn't in it)
• Organic Sweet Almond Oil
• Hydroxyethl Cellulose
• Carrageenan Gum
• Retinol
• Kelp
• Dulse - Red Alga
• Wildcrafted Horsetail - Shavegrass
• Organic Cayenne
• Apricot Kernel Oil
• Vitamin E
• Sodium Benzoate
• Potassium Sorbate
• Phenoxyethanol
• Ethythexyl Glycerin

I have to say that looking at the ingredients, and looking some of the things up I'm impressed with much of what's in the formula, but there are other things I'm in question of: Phenoxyethanol, Ethythexyl Glycerin, and the fragrance.

Like all their products, it is free from harsh chemicals such as parabens, sulfates and phthalates. That's really good!

Applying it:

Message the gel-cream onto the affected areas twice daily (morning and night). It helps to clean the area you are applying it to first.  Make sure your skin is completely dry before applying it.

It's a fast absorbing gel-cream that helps visibly reduce the appearance of bumps and lumps. This formula leaves your skin looking and feeling younger, smoother, and tighter.

I've tried skin tighteners before. I don't like ones that are used on the face. I just feel like I have Halloween make-up on, or something. It just doesn't feel natural. This cellulite defense gel-cream doesn't feel bad at all. It absorbed into my skin quickly. It doesn't smell bad. I don't mind the tighter feeling on other parts of my skin. Instead of it making my skin feel tight, it actually just gives it a tingling feeling.

I do like the packaging. The red and white just looks pleasing.

It's great that it quickly absorbs into your skin. It's not sticky, or oily feeling.

Cellulite Defense Gel-Cream is rated perfect on Amazon. The price is $79.95, and is on sale for $27.99.

The Embarrassing Brontosaurus

• Has your kids every truly embarrassed you?
• Well Mica embarrassed me tonight in a big way!

• I have to start from the beginning. Daddy went out to dinner with a guy that likes his artwork a week or so ago. One of his artsy friends was having a get together, so we went. We really didn't know anyone, but felt somehow comfortable. 
• The kids were running around and talking to people. Isaak loved their dog and cat. 

• Towards the end of the night Mica said to a really large gentleman, "You're really big." I was biting my tongue. I was thinking, "Stop there, don't say anymore Mica!" Mica continued, "You're really as big as a Brontosaurus." I was a little distance from them, so I pretended not to notice. But quickly said, "Hey Mica come over and sit with Mommy." I said it very calm, but was thinking, "Hey Mica come over and sit with Mommy!!!!!!!!!!!" 
• Daddy of course didn't hear a thing. It was just me that heard what my 5 year old said.
• I didn't know whether to apologize to this man for what my son said, or to pretend that I didn't hear?!? Bringing attention to it could have made the situation worse for this man, and Mica might have said more.

• I don't know if I handled the situation right or not. I kept my mouth shut until the car ride home. I said, "Mica you shouldn't tell people that they are big, fat, and especially that they are as big as a Brontosaurus! That could really hurt someone's feelings." Mica said, "Ok Mommy I won't call anyone something like that again."

• I do have to give the kid some points for creativity. He didn't mean to hurt the guy's feelings. 
• He just really thought he looked like a cool, big dinosaur.

• It totally reminded me of a time when cousin Kailey, who is now almost 16 years old said that a guy was fat in a Laundromat. Aunt Angela couldn't exactly leave. Kailey kept saying it over and over again. Angela kept telling her to be quiet! Finally Kailey said, "But Mommy I love my grandma and she's fat." Poor Grandma! Sorry Grandma!
• Now Kailey is on the news for doing good by starting a cheerleading squad for special needs kids, so there is hope for Mica!
