With all the hype and extra shopping that goes along with back to school, a lady can’t help but want to treat herself to something new too! So last week, I treated myself to some beauty products from Neutrogena. Neutrogena and Hayden Pantierre have teamed up to bring us tips and tutorials on how to achieve a beautiful “all day look.” See Hayden talk about her “Day Off Look” in this video: [Read more…]

Do you like for your man to have a nice smooth shave? My husband hates to shave! And I have to admit, I sometimes actually like the “scraggles.” I sometimes even encourage him to just grow a full beard, but he says that “it itches after a while.” (And he doesn’t really like the greys that show up. Oh no!) So basically he shaves…..then lets it grow for several days…and then shaves again when he “can’t stand it any longer.” It’s a never-ending cycle! Enter the Gillette Fusion ProGlide!

Summer Health & Beauty Series: Beauty Essentials with Mary Kay

July 13, 2014 Leave a Comment

Back to school is just around the corner for us, but there’s still plenty of summer weather left! Today we have more beauty tips from our friends at Mary Kay®.

Mary Kay cosmetics are high quality and hold up well even in the summer humidity. I especially love the CC Cream. On days when I don’t want to wear a lot of makeup, I’ve been wearing it like a foundation. It gives me sheer coverage for just a quick trip to the store or a day in the sun. And it also goes well under makeup on days when I want to look really great. And combined with their eyeliner, mascara, mineral bronzing powders, and Pink Cherie lipstick, I get a completely glamorous look for any summer day!

Check out these tips from Mary Kay to learn more about how these products can help you get a gorgeous look this summer! [Read more…]

Summer Health & Beauty Series: Get the Red Carpet Look + Mary Kay Giveaway

June 23, 2014 6 Comments

Do ever see stars on the red carpet and wish you could have their look? Now you can! Recently stars showed up on the Met Gala Red Carpet, sporting makeup products from Mary Kay. Today we are looking at Emma Stone’s Natural Beauty Look and Selena Gomez’s Dramatic Beauty Look. But instead of just showing you pictures of the ladies, I also have a rundown on the products and techniques you will need to replicate their looks.

Let’s start with Emma Stone. I actually received a kit of all the products needed for this look. I chose Emma’s look because we have similar skin tones, and I generally go for a more natural look when it comes to make up. What I love about Mary Kay is that they have very high quality products that are easy to use, and they products which appeal to all age groups and styles. Their products also look and feel good on, and they generally last and hold up for the day, which is a real plus when you are on the go. [Read more…]

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser.

Today as part of my Summer Health & Beauty Series,we are going to be talking about summerizing your legs with some Summertime Shaving Tips. As I go out for a day at the beach, the pool, or just a day of shopping, it is so fun to your favorite shorts, swimsuit, or summer outfit, but it is not nearly as fun if you’re suffering from razor burn! It looks bad, and it doesn’t feel good either! Luckily for us, there are some great products to help soothe and protect our legs during the summer months.

In anticipation of the warm summer weather, I recently shopped at Walmart for shaving products and sunscreen: [Read more…]

May 23, 2014 1 Comment

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 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.
