Tackling Your Summer Skincare Woes With HSN + My 9 Essentials! #SummerSkin

During the Summer your typical beauty and skincare routine is almost guaranteed to change just as fast as the weather does. Here in Florida it’s warm 12 months out of the year but as June approaches the humidity pumps itself up about 10 notches. This is when my skin tends to go into panic mode. My complexion instantly turns from flawless to frightening within days and I find myself frantically looking for a miracle. The song “Summertime Sadness” now has a completely new meaning.

Eating healthy can be really tough, especially when you are craving something sweet and not so healthy. That’s where the new Fiber One Streusel Bars come in. Available in two different flavors, Strawberry and Blueberry, these bars offer a tasty combination of real fruit and 12 grams of whole grains which make them a sensible treat that tastes more like an indulgence. The soft-baked bars are topped with a delicious brown sugar streusel crumble and have 20% of your daily value of fiber. Did I mention they are only 150 calories a piece? That’s much less than that batch of cookies I made this week!

Flawless Face In Five Minutes: Jane Iredale Starter Kit #JaneIredale

Disclosure: I was provided with the following products as a part of the Vogue Influencer community.

As a member of the Vogue Influencer network I was provided with the opportunity to try a cosmetic brand I was not very familiar with. In fact, I had never heard of Jane Iredale but once I did my research I was more than willing to try beauty products that also offered skincare benefits! I was sent the Jane Iredale Starter Kit which consisted of a reusable cosmetic bag with mirror, four products and one mini powder brush. I love that this introductory set contains a little bit of everything for those of us who want to try  different products but have no idea where to start. It’s available in five different shades and naturally I chose the lightest, because my complexion is near to non existent!

A SIMPLE Solution To Skin Care + Special Offer At Walgreens

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

Sensitive skin is an issue I am far too familiar with. I have always had a decent complexion, clear most of the time with an occasional stress induced breakout. But in time all good things must come to an end! Once I had Toodie I noticed a huge difference in my skin and how sensitive it became to the products I had been using years prior. Sure pregnancy gives you that natural “glow” that others rave about but after all that goes away your skin has to adjust back to normalcy. My usual routine was leaving my skin irritated and angry. I had the red splotchy spots, patches of bumpies, and dry areas that weren’t very flattering at the end of the day. I needed a miracle and after stumbling upon a Simple® Skincare display at Walgreens I had the answers and solutions I was looking for.

Spark Summer Time Creativity With Juicy Juice + Crayola #UltimatePlaydate #CollectiveBias

 

DIY Juice Box Art Caddy #UltimatePlaydate #CollectiveBias

As a parent I have always encouraged my daughter to explore activities she enjoys and those that help her grow. This includes playtime. In our home playtime is just another outlet for learning. It isn’t limited but rather nurtured. Whether it’s through a puppet show, crafting, dress up with our pug Chloe, or collecting stones outside for her nature collage- we are learning together. Playtime promotes creativity, imagination, and allows children to gain an understanding of the world around them. Not to mention, it’s just plain old FUN. Even as an adult I find myself taking advantage of playtime. I almost forgot how entertaining it is to get a box of crayons and some white paper, drawing whatever comes to mind.

Walgreens + AXE Team Up For An X-Men Movie Ticket GIVEAWAY!

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

I have always considered myself a movie buff but a junkie would probably be more of a precise description. I adore going to the movies. Whether it’s horror, comedy, or action I am no stranger to the movie theater around the corner. Over the years my taste in movies has changed drastically. What was once a love for the cheesy romantic stories has now developed into a passion for super heroes. Around the 90’s, the elementary school days, I used to spend my afternoons watching the X-Men television series. I was mesmerized by the heroes, villains, mutants, and the unbelievably cool powers they possesed. To this day I am still a fan of Wolverine and Jean Grey. I don’t know if it’s their rather interesting romantic relationship or that they both have a mysterious dark side. Something has always drawn me to them both!
