Nioxin Made My Husband a Believer! Now it’s your turn to take the #NioxinChallege! (+ #Giveaway!)
Who wants to admit losing their hair? Not my husband. He's aware of his increasingly receding hair line, and has been for years, but at the same time he's in denial, hoping it won't get worse. It wasn't until this past summer that I caught a glimpse of some bald spots on his head. Since he's almost a foot taller than me, it's not often I see the top of his head. I asked him if he's noticed his hair thinning out, and I received a look- ...
When You Look Good, You Feel Good! @VJMakeup #LoveVJC
My beauty routine in the morning has to be short and simple. I don't have a lot of time to get myself together, but I also want to look presentable to the rest of the world. I have a few products that are my daily go-to, like eyeshadow, mascara, eye liner, and foundation. Simple enough, and I can get it done in about 5 minutes, but there are some mornings even those precious minutes seem impossible to attain. Thankfully I have a few beauty ...
Parenting 101: Fever Relief for young children #FeverAllFeverReady
There's nothing like being up at 3am with a sick baby. As a matter of fact, I'm writing this as I lay next to my finally-sleeping, very sick preschooler. When she's sick, she brings back a flood of memories from when I was a kid- constantly sick with multiple bouts of strep which eventually led to removing my tonsils and relieving me from the countless months on antibiotics and missed school days. Kids get sick, and it's a rite of passage ...

Nipping Adult Acne with Clearasil. #ClearasilMom #MC #Sponsored
Adult acne. I have nothing nice to say. After a few teenage years of being tormented by painful breakouts, and finally outgrowing it in my early twenties, I thought I was over this phase of my life. My skin cleared up completely when I was pregnant and nursing, but acne is back again with a vengeance. When you go for a facial and the esthetician is stumped on how to treat your skin, you know you've got a problem. Going back to the dermatologist ...
Achieving a Healthy Glow This Holiday Season With @JergensUS! #JergensBBBody #bbgoesbody
Winter is almost here and the cold weather couldn't wait to show up. It's the season for dry, pasty skin. I'm prone to uneven skin tone and the cold weather brings out the worst in my skin. I have a few weeks before the holidays to "fix" or repair my skin to get a more flawless look for the season. After all, I want to look radiant and glow when I take pictures with my kids to capture the memories! I will be using Jergens BB Body ...
Safe Skincare for Babies From @BabyMantra! #MC #Sponsored #BabyMantra
Like most babies, my girls have sensitive skin. I really don't know a child who's skin isn't sensitive, since their skin can be thinner than that of adult skin, so it's always important to use gentle products on younger skin. When I was pregnant I researched everything that I was putting on my baby's skin. This is where I learned about harmful chemicals and possible carcinogens and hormone disrupters that were lurking in popular bath products. ...
