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. I recently tried a bottle of Mary Kay’s Journey of Dreams Eau de Toilette, and I’m very happy to add it to my list of go-to fragrances! [Read more…]

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…]
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.

As you gear up for the winter with new sweaters, coats, scarves, and gloves, don’t forget to protect your skin with the proper cleansing and lotion products!
Your skin has a big job to do. It’s your largest organ, covering your entire body, and it’s responsible for keeping a protective barrier between you and the outside world, as well as keeping a vital moisture balance inside your body.
Lots of things can weaken this protective barrier, like drying cleansers, winter weather, low humidity and some skin conditions. Once that happens, you may have more dryness, itching, redness, flaking, and eventually painful cracking of your skin. At best, this process can lead to a rough, red, unpleasant skin texture. At worst, severely damaged and inflamed skin can get out of control and provide a portal for bacteria.
What makes accént® products different is Protease Technology, a unique blend of plant-based enzymes, combined with amino acids and advanced moisturizers, to help hydrate and nourish dry, flaky skin and promote soft, smooth, healthy-looking skin.1-5
accént® products are also mild and gentle enough to be used as often as desired anywhere on the face as well as the body. They are paraben-free, propylene glycol-free, gluten-free, non-irritating, non-drying and non-comedogenic (will not block pores). With only one wash and one moisturizing lotion for daily use, accént® is a cleansing and moisturizing system that couldn’t be simpler.
You can find accént® products at your local CVS/Pharmacy and at Drugstore.com.
