A few weeks ago I had the awesome opportunity of attending the Blog Meets Brand event. At the event I received a mini makeover, courtesy of the girls over at Elizabeth Arden. I was also introduced to some Elizabeth Arden products I generally did not use, but was very interested to find out more about. I'm hitting the big 3-0 this year, and now is a better time than ever to start thinking about what my skin will look like as I age. Ugh, I can't ...

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Quest for Crystal Mickey
I know the summer coming up usually means lots of outdoor play, but when it's TOO hot to play outside or thunder storming from the insane humidity, kids need some indoor fun activities. My preschooler has two favorite indoor activities: crafts and movies. Today we actually had a rainy day in NYC and we decided to have an indoor beach day with pizza and movies. Her first request: Crystal Mickey. If you haven't heard of the Crystal Mickey, then ...

Make the Switch to Tree Hut products #NaturalBeauty
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tree Hut for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Did you know that I started my chemical free kick when I found out I was pregnant with my first baby? A co-worker had told me about the nasty chemicals in some of the popular children's bath products and this made me take a deeper look into everything I was using in my home. From food to cleaning products and everything in between, I ...
Netflix for Kids is Available Wherever You Go! #NetflixKids #ad
I use to make fun of my grandmother all the time when she would say, "leave me alone when I'm watching my shows" and would glue herself to the TV from 1-4pm during the weekdays. She had to watch her soaps everyday and find out who was plotting against who and which couple would enter a new hot and steamy love affair. Now, folks, making fun of grandma is NOT nice.. because you might spawn a little being that resembles her in so many ways, ...
Earth Friendly and Baby Friendly Seventh Generation Products!
I've been using Seventh Generation products from the time my oldest was born. I loved that they were Earth-friendly and safe for my family, and just as effective as chemical laden products I was previously using. Once I started using Seventh Generation dish soap, I was intrigued by the company and other products they had to offer. This was when I also discovered their diapers, wipes, household disinfectant, and laundry detergent. In the past 4 ...
Rainy Day Indoors? Check out Wummelbox!
Have you ever had a bored preschooler home from school on a rainy day? I have. It's not fun for her - she prefers to be with her friends, at school - playing, learning, and exploring. I'd like to think that I can engage her and spark her creativity while she's home, but I guess with two kids at home, it's hard to give either one of them my undivided attention for a good amount of time. I've looked through home-school sites to find ideas on ...
