October Oral Care Challenge
We schedule one of our teeth cleanings every September so when I heard about the October Oral Care Challenge, I thought it was perfect. The challenge asks for kids and parents to brush, floss and rinse every day, twice a day for two weeks—a key step in building a strong foundation of good oral care habits. After our teeth cleanings (and for Cameron always a follow up appointment for something they deem so important), we are all really focused on our brushing, rinsing, and flossing, and then as time passes, we seem to lose that focus. Starting with Halloween in October, it seems like the last three months of the year are heavy on sweets, which makes it even more important to maintain healthy habits. Thanks to a great oral care package … Read entire article »

Changes
Each year I notice that I need different skin care products. Those that I used before are too harsh, not effective, or I just don’t like them anymore. From moisturizer to makeup to cleanser, I am always trying to decide the best treatment for adult acne and skin care in general. And also passing along my makeup and skin products to the girls as I determine they are of no use to me. The good – I’m growing old (yep, I think that’s good). The bad – “older” people skin care products are more expensive it seems. Anyone have any suggestions? … Read entire article »

Makeup Shopping!
Woohoo! I love shopping for Makeup. In fact, since I love it so much I avoid it. See I always spend too much money. This weekend was SHOPPING time though as I am almost out of foundation and powder! Of course I also bought some eye shadow, mascara, 2 new makeup bags and a new makeup brush, lol. Oh, and a lipstick kit, moisturizer, and looked at some of the best wrinkle creams to decide if it’s time to start using those – feeling old this weekend! And because I haven’t shopped in over 6 months, I even paid for expedited shipping and it should be here by Friday! Woohoo! … Read entire article »

Don’t Fret the Sweat
As I’ve mentioned before my daughter began wanting to wear deodorant back in the Spring. I didn’t necessarily think she needed it, but I didn’t think it would hurt anything, and I knew as she was going into the fifth grade soon, that there would be a definite need. I decided that while she was interested was a great time to start a habit that would one day be necessary every day. I was recently selected … Read entire article »

Brushing My Teeth “MyWay”
I found it quite interesting that one day I was contacted by a representative asking if I’d be interested in reviewing the ARM & HAMMER Spinbrush MyWay! and the next day I received a request from Cameron as she flipped through a magazine and saw the ad for the ARM & HAMMER Spinbrush MyWay! that she NEEDED that. She would brush her teeth “so much better” if she just had “the first and only customizable … Read entire article »

Bzz: Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion
One of my favorite sites is BzzAgent. Being a BzzAgent has allowed me the opportunity to try out some amazing things and share about them to my friends and family. My newest campaign to be a part of – Cover Girl LashBlast Fusion. It’s a new mascara by Cover Girl that I’m really LOVING! I don’t wear as much makeup during the summer. See I’m a teacher from mid August to the end of May, but for June, July and the beginning of August, I bale hay. I bale hay in Texas. I bale hay in Texas without a cab tractor (a cab tractor is the closed in ones with air condition). So I get HOT! and SWEATY! And the last thing I want to think about is makeup. However, I do … Read entire article »

Hair Cut Remorse?
Get a bad haircut? Or maybe your hair just grows slower than you wish? Well if you are up at 1:27 in the morning like I tend to be, you might already know this, but I learned this last night (err…this morning). You can no buy shampoo for hair growth. Now when I was in school, a boyfriend’s mom swore to me that Mane N Tail made your hair grow faster. I tried it. I’m not so sure that my hair grew faster, but it was healthy. But looks like now, they do in fact make something especially for that. Why didn’t I come up with this idea? … Read entire article »

Radius Toothbrushes
Recently my family and I were given the chance to try out and review for you several of the toothbrushes and dental floss made by RADIUS. ABOUT RADIUS According to the RADIUS website, RADIUS aimed to make the toothbrush comfortable, enjoyable and effective. With a mass of very soft bristles, a large head area for low pressure brushing and a comfortable handle, this toothbrush would let you brush lightly and accurately. How did James O’Halloran and Kevin Foley do this? First they used very small bristles and lots of them. They also made a large head so that you did not have to use a lot of pressure when you brushed. (My dentist has also stressed to me the importance of brushing our gums and how few people do so, but … Read entire article »
