This review and DIY Oatmeal Face Mask Recipe was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Dawn. I was provided the featured product free of charge to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% mine.

Spa days might be one of my favorite luxuries in life. I love leaving feeling refreshed and pampered, with a massage, my nails done, and some kind of skin treatment. The only problem, is that those moments can really add up, cost-wise.

Get Girls’ Night Out-Ready with P&G Products

This is a sponsored post for SheSpeaks/P&G. All words and opinions are my own.

There’s just something special about spending an evening hanging out with the girls.  Whether it’s drinking coffee and noshing on something sweet, catching a movie, or just hanging out at someone’s house watching some guilty-pleasure housewife-type of show, recharging your batteries with gal pals is important to your mental health.

Of course getting a little glam for Girls’ Night Out is always fun, too.  When your regular “crew” is too young to get into a PG-13 movie by themselves, you may tend to skip a few steps in your normal routine.  I know most days I’m lucky if I manage to smooth on a little primer and swipe a little mascara across my lashes.

I participated in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Kohl’s. I received a gift card as a thank you for participating.

Spring is officially in the air, and I’m getting very excited.  It’s time to start thinking about wearing dresses, skirts, flip-flops, and short-sleeved shirts, to name a few.  All in some of the shades that make spring so light and airy – like pink, which is definitely in this year.

Bubbles and I were in Kohl’s today checking out some of the new looks for the season.  I had watched the Kohl’s Spring Fashion Hangout and I absolutely fell in love with some of the pieces they showcased.  One of the things I love about Kohl’s is how they transition runway looks into something wearable, and at prices that are significantly more affordable.

One of my favorite is the fun and flirty pink dress with white flowers above.  I can see wearing it so many places!  Especially since we have Ashley’s graduation, then Austin’s graduation, and parties for both.  I think I’m going to need to pick up a few different ones! Continue reading »

Get Smooth, Shiny, Stunning Hair with These New Hair Care Products

This hair care post is a sponsored partnership. All thoughts and words are my own.

Over the years I’ve tried hundreds of different hair care products.  Partly because I love trying new products, and partly because I sort of have an issue with volume.  And by “sort of have an issue” I mean it took the better part of a can of hair spray and more than one package of bobby pins to get my prom look to stay in place.

Suave, Dove & TRESemmé Hair Care Products at Walgreens #TryAndTell

I had the chance to try a few new hair care products lately, products by Suave®, Dove®, and TRESemmé®.   I was especially excited when I saw one of them – the Dove® Oxygen Moisture – was specifically formulated for flat hair.  The other two looked interesting, also, with promises for smoother, shinier hair.

Give the Gift of Pain Relief with Wahl Hot Cold Massagers

I received a Wahl Massager product for the purpose of this review. This post was made possible by Mom Spark Media. Thoughts are my own.

Hubby has had issues with his knees for years.  He had Osgood-Schlatter (pain, swelling and tenderness just below the knee) when he was a kid, which commonly affects pre-teen or teen boys going through growth spurts.  I don’t think it helped much, either, that he was a seriously rough-and-tumble kid that spent a lot of time racing bikes and seeing how high he could fly off jumps.

But he is not alone in having muscle or joint pain.  In fact according to research conducted by Harris on behalf of Wahl, 85% of Americans are experiencing routine aches and pains.  The number one area complained about is the back, followed by neck and shoulders, and then joints.

I know I fall into a couple of those categories, myself.  I remember teasing my friend Em who complained about back pain after the birth of her children, but now after having given birth, myself, I’m not teasing any more.  My back often aches when I get up in the morning and doesn’t feel too hot after spending the day bent over at her level to talk and play, either.
