As I shared a couple of days ago, 2015 is all about balance.  And part of the balance, of course, is getting more active.  Whether I’m taking a walk around the block, jumping on our treadmill, or making a stop at the gym, I have a new item that’s going to be in my bag.

Now I have new dry spray antiperspirants from Degree, Axe and Dove.  I like them because they go on easy, are long-lasting (48-hour protection!), and they won’t leave visible residue on your clothes.  Just because it’s workout gear, doesn’t mean I want those tell-tale white marks under my arms, right?

While I was growing up, my Mom was a stay-at-home Mom.  Before my brothers and I were born, though, she had a career as a stylist.  As a young teen, I remember sitting under one of those salon-style dryers in the comfort of our own home, feeling pretty cool.

Hair Tips for Busy Moms

Having a stylist Mom meant there was very little reason to go to a salon, as I had my own personal hair-care expert under the same roof.  She shared a lot of hair tips and tricks with me over the years, and many of them that were applicable to an on-the-go teen are equally as applicable to my life now as a busy mom.  Now I want to share them with you!

I love summer, I really do.  Lots of places to go, things to see.  A number of excuses to be outside an enjoy the beautiful weather with friends and family.  Sun-kissed skin, flip-flops, and sundresses.

But I don’t love the way my allergies flare up during the summer.  The past few days I’ve been especially miserable; I’m nearly on a first-name basis with the staff at the drug store as I’ve gone through multiple boxes of tissues.

From the moment I first showed Bubbles the trailer for Planes: Fire & Rescue she has been beside herself with excitement waiting for it to come out.  I told her that she, Mama, and Daddy would all go and see it together and now every time she sees the commercial or the trailer, she bounces around and exclaims “That’s the one we’re going to see in the movie theater!”.  So it’s going to be a family date night.  Or, more accurately, a family date afternoon.

Daytime Date Makeup Essentials #WalgreensPaperless #shop

My daytime date makeup is a little different than what I’d wear for a night on the town, but when I went looking through my makeup stash, I realized I really needed to replace quite a few things.  And when I need cosmetics – or most anything, really – Walgreens is often the first place I stop.
