Nothing Scary Here! Romance, Masks and eMail List Building
WHAT TO READ NEXT: Coming Home for Christmas by RaeAnne Thayne
My assistant Crystal is here with another of her favorite reads. Take it away, Crystal!
Thank you so much, Maddy, for allowing me to share yet another fabulous read this week. This may be a Christmas story but with all the drama, suspense, mystery, and twist and turns around every corner I thought it might be a fitting Halloween story too.
GEM OF THE WEEK – Aztec Secret – Face and Body Mask
This Halloween, as you eat that left-over candy we all live for and promise to start your diet ‘next week,’ let me offer you a suggestion for something that will be good for you.
One of the top trending products of 2019 is Aztec Secret, an Indian Healing Clay. This deep pore cleansing facial and body mask contains 100% natural calcium bentonite clay. This mask, with a 4.4 out of 5-star rating on Amazon and over 18,000 reviews, offers a powerful deep pore cleansing mask that is 100% Calcium bentonite clay. In other words, it’s addictive, fragrance and animal product free, works like a dream and costs a fraction of most of the cleansing masks you can find in department stores.
Used by mixing with apple cider vinegar, I do want to warn that a few people with highly sensitive skin have reported problems – so test a small patch just to be safe. But this Halloween, this could be just the mask you’ve been looking for.
