Are you spending a lot of time outdoors this summer?  Here in the South, it’s really almost too hot to go outside and enjoy anything.  Usually my husband and I like to wait until the evening time.  Just before and after the sun sets, the weather is perfect for grilling out, playing music, or just sitting around and talking.  The only problem with going out at this time is bugs.  For that we like to keep around plenty of Cutter® insect repellents:

Cutter® has several products to help you keep the insects at bay so that you and the family can enjoy the outdoors without having to worry about bloodsucking pest. The products include their CitroGuard Candles, Yard foggers and sprays, as well as personal insect repellents in spray and wipe form.

getting it all done

Apart from keeping up my blog and Etsy shop, I have the cooking and cleaning to do, plus taking care of my husband, stepson, and baby cats.  Plus, this fall my stepson will be starting high school, marching band, and other activities!  Without a doubt, I’ll need all the extra energy I can get!

 5-hour ENERGY® shots fits perfectly in to my lifestyle.  I like the  ingredients and I also like it for the convenient serving size.  As someone who generally drinks any kid of beverage slowly, I really like the energy shot because I can actually drink it quickly (unlike other drinks which are 8 or even 16 ounces).

 Why should you choose 5-hour ENERGY® shots over other drinks and supplements?

  • 5-hour ENERGY® shots are a dietary supplement that contains a blend of B-vitamins, amino acids, and essential nutrients.
  • There’s zero sugar, carbs, or herbal stimulants.

Straight Teeth with Invisalign Teeth – With Giveaway! #InvisalignTalk

Disclaimer: This is a sponsored post for Invisalign. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

StraightTalk_LOGO

Were you born with perfectly white, perfectly straight, perfectly perfect smile?  If you’re like me the answer is no.  I’ve pretty much always had problems with my teeth including cavities when I was young, and then I had to have oral surgery and get braces when I was 14.

We didn’t have Invisalign Teen when I was a kid, so I was stuck with the traditional metal braces. If you’ve never had to endure this, I’d describe them with one word: pain.  It’s painful when they first get put on, and your teeth hurt every month, when it comes time to have them tightened, that is a pain.  It can also be difficult to brush and floss around.  Since I’ve had my braces off, I’ve continued to have problems with my teeth, and I’ve had to have a lot of procedures, including filling, root canals, and crowns, not to mention, I still have white marks where some of the brackets were on my braces.

Dial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap Review

Dial Hand Soap

Hand soap is a MUST have item for any household.  And I also like to have something that not only cleanses, but also smells great and leaves your hands smelling great.  When I was growing up, Dial soap was almost always what we had in our bathroom.  I’ve always known them mostly for their gold and white bars, and we also used Dial Hand Soap in the gold/original variety, but now they have a variety of other products, including a new line of the hand soap.
