Carmex Lip Conditioner – A Winter Must Have!

I have been reviewing the Carmex Lip Conditioner the last couple of weeks.  If you suffer from chapped lips this is a welcome relief for those.

The lip conditioner is light weight and you don’t find that stick or greasy feel on your lips.  It has a hint of natural orange flavor, think of orange creamsicle.  I notice when I put it on I can feel a tingling as it absorbs into my lips. Very refreshing!

It also contains 13 moisturizers!  A few of the ingredients which aid in smooth lips is the lanolin, to help the skin retain moisture.  Dimethicone helps with the moisturizing and protects the tender skin on our lips and allantoin which also helps moisturize and heal those chapped lips.

Carmex can be found at most of your drug and retail stores.  Be sure to look for the Carmex Lip Conditioner…it works!

ENJOY Luxury Shampoo, Conditioner and Straightener – Giveaway

If you have been following me for long, you know I am a girl who loves to pamper herself with the very best products I can find.  One of my closest blogging friends introduced me to the ENJOY Hair Care products and I’m so glad she did.   These products are beyond what I expected.  My hair is in the best condition it has been in a long time and I am due to go in for a cut next week.

I have been using the ENJOY Luxury Smoothing System.  I have a natural curl to my hair but tend to like it best when it has been dried straight and flat ironed.

The day I tried the shampoo for the first time, I was surprised at the thickness.  It truly is luxury in a bottle.  Thick, rich goodness enriching my hair.  I should mention the fragrance, it takes me back to a relaxing vacation where the subtle scent represents the smell of coconut.  The shampoo can even be used as a skin wash!

The conditioner is also very thick and rich with a slight variation of the fragrance which compliments the shampoo.  My hair is so silky soft when I rinse the conditioner out.  No tangles, just smooth, soft hair!  It feels like I am pampering my hair.

The last ENJOY product I have been using is the Straightener.  I mentioned earlier, I have a natural curl to my hair and like the flat iron look.  I use a small amount on my damp hair and then style it like normal.  We have a different kind of humidity here in the Northwest but it never goes curly on me.  It stays as straight as first thing in the morning.

I am so excited to be able to offer you the same set I received as a giveaway!  A $73.92 value!

Lemonade For Seattle Children’s Hospital – #MiracleMoms

Can I just say how proud I am of our two kids and their friends.  A couple of weeks ago we had a streak of warm weather.  The kids decided to have a lemonade stand on our corner.  I assumed once the stand was over for the day, they would split the earnings between the 5 of them.

What happened next truly touched my heart.  They had written on their sign that the money made would be donated to Seattle Children’s Hospital.  Our kids knew I was working on the #MiracleMoms campaign for the Children’s Miracle Network and wanted to get involved in their own way.

They made $50 dollars in about 2 hours time, selling lemonade and taking donations.  Their goal is to have another lemonade stand before the campaign is over.  They are trying to raise $100.   Our family worked an estate sale last weekend and put a jar out for donations and raised an additional $16 towards their goal.  They are now only $34 away from that goal!!

I am loving that the families in our neighborhood are raising kids that care.  Amazing!  I am hoping you can give what you can.  If we work together and get 300 readers to donate just $1…we would have $300!!!  Will you be the first one?

Journey to Comfort With Dove Men + Care – CLOSED

I am usually the one reviewing the pampering products so when I had the chance to have my boys try the Dove Men + Care line I said “YES!”

Journey to Comfort is all about feeling comfortable in your own skin!  With Brad still at a young age, I want him to learn to accept himself and be comfortable being who he is!  Here is Shaquille O’Neal sharing a personal side of him which touched my heart, especially as a mom!

I loved that and what a great message to get out to the young and old alike.  Like I mentioned above, Brad and Scott have been using the Dove Men + Care.  I haven’t heard any complaints and the fact that you can use the Clean Defense on your body and face is a bonus!

Here is a brief description of the products available in the Dove Men + Care.

NEW Dove Men + Care Clean Defense and Fresh Awake Body and Face Wash have skin care built in.

o   Clean Defense: Oil balancing cleansing gel that removes daily buildup and helps to maintain skin balance

Perfectly Posh – $25 Giveaway – CLOSED

Raise your hand if you like to be pampered?

Me, me, me!  If only I had the time and money!  Guess what?  I found a company who does exactly that, especially for those of us with little time and on a budget.  Perfectly Posh is our go to place.  You don’t even have to leave your home to pamper yourself.  Check out Jennie’s Perfectly Posh site to find out exactly what you need for a little pampering.

Take a hot bath with the Bombinators!

De-tox with the The Stripper

Cajole in the shower with Soap Massagers (oh la la!)

Or get your Sugar Fix with an all over sugar scrub.

It sounds pretty good right now, doesn’t it?

I was able to try out a few other products and let’s just say, I love them!

I received The Healer.  I think this is my favorite so far.  I have very dry hands and they tend to crack during the winter months.  The Healer is made from pure shea butter with a touch of pure orange and vanilla essential oils.  The Healer is now available in a stick applicator which is new to the Spring line.

The Feng Shoap is another of my favorites.   Shea butter and olive oil with a light fragrance and opulent lather for a fantastic cleansing experience.  I also received samples of Chatter (a yummy citrus scent) and Gender Bender (a clean, more masculine scent).

I love lotions and the Big Fat Yummy Hand Cream is Yummy!  The Maha Satori is the scent I received which is a  white tea & ginger blend.  One of my favorite scents!

The last product is in my purse right now.  I have been using it every day since the day I received it!  The Raspberry Bang Bang LipShot.  A  big tube filled with a juicy blast of sunflower, cocoa, and jojoba rich butters.

I know I have shown you a lot of Perfectly Posh products but those are just a few of the hundreds they stock.  One important note about their products is they are all:

• Paraben-free and paraffin-free
• SLS-free
• Gluten-free
• Soy-free
• Using essential oil and fine pthalate-free fragrances
• Natural: Full of butters, oils, and other nourishing ingredients
• Preserved with gentle, effective vitamin E

I believe these all very important factors when we purchase products to use on our bodies.

How would you like to win $25 of Perfectly Posh products (of your choice)?

Here is your chance…

Meningitis Angels And Their Important Message

We had to make a decision last summer whether to vaccinate Emily at her 11 year old check up for Meningitis.  It was very important to me that we immunize as it affects infants and teens most often.  I can remember hearing of a young women away at college who lost her life shortly after being exposed to the meningococcal disease.  I would never be able to live with myself if I didn’t protect our child from this nasty and devastating disease.

Infants are also very susceptible to Meningitis.  1 out of 16 infants who come in contact with Meningitis will die from it.

Do you know what Meningitis is?  It is a disease which infects the membrane around the brain and spinal cord.  There are 5 groups of meningococcal bacterias.  Four of these groups are preventable with vaccinations.  The worst part is it is a very fast acting disease which starts out with similar flu-like symptoms.   1 in 7 people who contract the disease will die from it.   Of those who survive, 1 out of 6 will endure limb amputations, paralysis,  seizures, strokes, hearing loss, blindness, organ damage, severe scarring, brain damage and more.

I know you don’t want any one in your family or friends to suffer from this deadly disease.    Bob and Frankie Milley founded Meningitis Angels in memory of their 18 year old son who lost his life to this horrible disease.  Meningitis Angels is helping families with the loss or care of their ill family member.

They want to get the word out that Meningitis can be avoided by getting this very important vaccine, most importantly in infants.  You can get involved by signing the Protect Infants Now petition.

If you would like more information regarding the Protect Infants Now program, please click on the link.

 

Disclosure:   I participated in a campaign on behalf of MomCentral and Meningitis Angels.  This campaign was made possible in part through support provided by Novartis Vaccines.  A small donation to Charley Beers Memorial was made in my name from MomCentral as a thank you for participating.  All opinions in this posting are 100% my own.
