Life, Family, and Home - Simplified & Sweetened
As you freshen up this summer, don’t forget the perfume! I have a few go-to perfumes and body sprays that I like to use, but every now and then I like to branch out and try something new.

Today as part of my Summer Health & Beauty Series,we are going to be talking about summerizing your legs with some Summertime Shaving Tips.

With summer time comes a season of picnics, pool parties, and backyard barbecues. We just set up new patio furniture and a new grill on our back deck and have already grilled three times in the past couple of weeks. If you’re planning any backyard barbecues yourself, Kool-Aid can certainly help you out with some cool drinks and refreshments. Without a doubt, I’m sure you are familiar with the Kool-Aid powders, Jammers, and other products. But did you know Kool-Aid also comes in a Ready to Drink 96 ounce bottle? [Read more…]
Having a sweet and happy home and family life isn’t just about food and housekeeping. It starts with you. If you don’t feel healthy and feel good about yourself it is more difficult to take care of your home or other people. That’s why I try to share health & beauty tips and products from time to time. For the summer, I’ve planned a series of posts centered around health & beauty. Over the next few weeks you’ll discover some great products, tips, and a giveaway or two! Hope you enjoy!
We kick off our Summer Health & Beauty Series with Skincare Products from La Bella. La Bella has more than 30 years of experience offering a variety of superior, salon quality hair and skincare products. Their skincare line offers solutions to keep your skin looking clear and vibrant and subtle.
You can find their products online and Drugstore.com or at local retailers like Walmart, Target, and Kroger.
Here’s a list of the products I have used, along with details on the usage:
La Bella Rose Hips Oil Cream – Contains Vitamin E to help rehydrate chapped skin and prevent aging from the sun. It also lessens wrinkles and skin spots, all while smelling amazing.
La Bella Vitamin E Cream with Aloe – This gentle product evens complexion and skin tone, while soothing and cooling burns from the harsh sunrays. Perfect to use after a day at the beach.
La Bella Vanishing Cream – Sometimes the damage from the sun is inevitable, but with a cocoa butter combination this cream helps diminish sunspots, freckles, and age spots while creating a smooth complexion.
La Bella Cosmetic Gel – This cream is made with collagen, elastin, snail extract, and aloe vera to help accelerate skin cell production while hydrating and healing skin blemishes.
