Feel Fresh With @Dove Advanced Care

12 Dec

Now that the cooler weather is rolling in, we’re updating our wardrobe with the biggest wool sweaters, the cutest denim jackets and the latest faux fur vests. Although our outfits will be stealing the show, the way our skin feels may not be as great. Dove is offering the best ways to ensure that you feel as fresh as your favorite fall outfit.

  • Stay Cool: The best way to make sure you feel comfortable during the colder weather is by wearing the least amount of layers as possible. So if you can rock your favorite autumn dress with a light denim jacket or wear that cute blazer over your satin tank, always remember that less is more! 
  • Moisturization is Key: Make sure that your underarms are as moisturized as the rest of your skin. 
  • Dove Advanced Care is perfect to make sure your underarms are protected under those heavy sweaters. Including the brand’s ¼ moisturizers, you’ll be totally prepared for the day as the antiperspirant offers 48-hour wetness and odor protection.
  • Mix & Match: If you’re still grieving over the fact that summer is over, you can continue to incorporate some of your favorite summer pieces into your OOTD. Wear your comfiest orange sweater with that corduroy skirt or stomp on those booties with your favorite flowy dress to show off some skin, but also be equipped for the colder air.


Dove Travel Essentials this Holiday Season

  • Comfort Chic is Key: The popular debate of dressing up on Christmas to sit in the living room is real, but who says you can’t look your best, and also feel comfortable. Opt for a trendy oversized sweater, leggings with some stylish booties. It’ll be easier to pack in a carry-on and will offer enough space to eat your favorite mac & cheese and another glass of eggnog! 
  • Don’t Break a Sweat!: We’re all running around for the holidays: rushing to catch your plane, heating things up in the kitchen while making your famous potato, hosting all your family members, make sure you’re covered all day with 
  • Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant. Not only is it TSA/travel-friendly to throw in your suitcase or backpack, it’ll also offer 48-hour odor and wetness protection to get you through the holidays!
  • Shop but don’t Drop: After the Christmas festivities, don’t miss the great Boxing Day deals on the 25th by preparing ahead and having a packed bag with some mini essentials to keep you going. Keep some eyedrops, lip gloss and a face/hydrating mist handy to refresh and maintain a radiant glow while on the go. As for fuel, pack your water bottle and snacks to keep you energized throughout the shopping spree.
  • Enjoy the much needed R&R: Whether you’re flying or driving home for the holidays, we all know the trip can be long, so it’s always important to try and enjoy every second. Take the time to unplug and unwind by packing your eye mask and earplugs. Or if you’re taking a road-trip, make sure you’re appreciating the drive with a playlist you can belt out to!

Dove Beauty Bar Hydrates & Moisturizes Skin/Giveaway

21 May

As the weather warms up, it’s the perfect moment to reset our routines and take a deeper look at our skin.

During this transitional season, our skin is constantly dealing with crazy weather fluctuations, causing our skin to overreact. To help offset issues, like dry skin, irritation, and more, the right cleanser is key right at the start of your routine – the shower. Dove Dermatologist, and Latina beauty expert, Dr. Alicia Barba recommends using Dove Beauty Bar, formulated with ¼ moisturizing cream, to cleanse AND hydrate at the same time, which is an essential balance to maintaining healthy skin. What’s best is that the Bar is gentle enough to be on the face, beyond just the body!

I’ve been using Dove Beauty Bar for a very long time. All my kids use it as well. Some of them have eczema and Dove sensitive skin beauty bar really moisturizes our skin and keeps it healthy. My dermatologist even told me how great Dove is. I recommend Dove products to all my family and friends. I get complimented on how soft my skin is. Nobody wants rough, dry skin.

Unlike basic soap bars, Dove Beauty Bar gently cleanses and hydrates with its signature ¼ moisturizing cream, leaving soft, smooth skin.

*GIVEAWAY:

Dove wants to hook a lucky reader up with a Dove skin-care essentials giveaway.

You will receive Dove beauty bars to keep your skin moisturized and feeling soft.

Making Brushing Fun With #ACTKidsToothpaste

18 Jul

Disclosure: This post was sponsored by ACT Kids Toothpaste but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

 

I was always thankful that my parents made sure I brushed twice a day, took me and my sister to regular dental checkups and told us how important it is to take care of our teeth. Till this day I make sure to brush, floss, rinse and continue with my dental checkups.

 

With four kids of my own I made sure I did the same thing. I can honestly say it wasn’t easy. Sometimes they brushed twice a day and sometimes they didn’t. I did however make sure they see their dentist for checkups. Flossing was another hard thing but as they got older it was part of their routine. Cavities were minimal and lots of dentist visits there weren’t any cavities at all. That made me very happy. They all loved rinsing with a good mouthwash and brushing with a great tasting toothpaste and a toothbrush that gets the job done.

 

New ACT Kids Toothpaste is now available for kids ages 2 years and older in both bubble gum and fruit punch flavors. The ACT Kids Anticavity Rinse is for kids ages 6 years and older. You can find the new Kids Act Toothpaste in select Walmart, Walgreens and Target locations.

According to a recent survey, nearly 4 in 10 moms (35%) say getting their kid(s) to brush their teeth is one of their most frustrating daily battles, in line with convincing their kid(s) to eat their vegetables (38%) and putting their kid(s) to bed at night (40%).

 

This survey was sponsored by Sanofi Consumer Healthcare and conducted online using Toluna’s QuickSurveys methodology between February 13, 2017 and February 14, 2017 among 1,150 moms with children between the ages of 2 and 12 in the USA. Respondents for Toluna QuickSurveys are selected from among those who have agreed to participate in Toluna surveys.

 

I was asked to have a party and give out toothbrushes, toothpaste, timers and other cool things included in my party pack. We love having strong, healthy teeth and love using products to keep them that way.For more info about oral care check out this link: ACToralcare.com/act-for-kids

Save On Massages, Facials and Manicures With #Groupon #ad

29 Aug

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. All opinions expressed are mine 100% as always. 

I have a birthday and cruise coming up this year and I’m gonna treat myself to a facial and massage. I 100% sure I will also get a manicure and pedicure while I’m at it. Sure I could get those things done on my cruise but do they accept Groupon? I doubt it. I’ll be saving a lot more money getting these treats done before I walk on board.


Groupon has amazing deals going on for Swedish or deep tissue massages, facials and manis and pedis. On my off days it’s all about being pampered with a wash & set, massage, eyebrow threading and mani/pedi. 


My muscles can get very tight and a deep tissue massage won’t hurt me or my pockets. Groupon knows exactly what emails to send me around my location and I also have the app on my phone as well for fast access. 


If you click on this link you will see the deals I’m talking about in the “Health, Beauty & Wellness Groupons”) – https://www.groupon.com/local/massage

My Mother’s Day Wish List from BJ’s Wholesale Club #spon #shoptheclub

21 Apr

Is it too early to be talking about my wish list for Mother’s Day? I think not!! I don’t ask for much when it comes to Mother’s Day. While some want quiet time alone or to go out for Brunch or Dinner I just want to be around my family. I love presents and those I Love You’s no matter what day is it. I also enjoy buying myself gifts. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. 

I love the fact that my family and friends can shop for my presents in one place ((BJ’s Wholesale Club) and get everything on my wish list. Wish lists are made instead of reminding a person over and over what I would like. I just put these lists randomly throughout the house or as a text/ email for them to see. 

May 8th will be here before you know it. Even though I tell my children it’s the thought that counts and you can spend whatever you choose and I also accept homemade cards and gifts I love showing them how to use coupons and get the best price for their money. 

Now that BJ’s opened a new store in Riverdale we’ve been quite a bit now and my daughter loves to observe what goes  in  my shopping cart then look through the coupon book that BJ’s send to my house and the coupons in store to match and rip out because she knows we’re saving a lot by using them. She also looks through my wallet for more coupons that I bring with me as well. This is another reason I love shopping at BJ’s. Coupons are my friend. 

   
This year I want a gift basket filled with goodies. These gifts can be purchased online or in store. I’ll keep it simple. 

1. Beauty- Crest 3D white advanced vivid white strips $39.99 (Mama have to keep her pearly whites for all the pictures I will be in)

2.  Drinks- $10 Starbucks Gift Card 3-pk for $28.99 ( Got to have Iced Coffee)

3. Over the counter-Claritin 10mg allergy tablets 90 tablets $35.99 ( I want to be prepared so I will take in advance so I’m not suffering)

4. Food- $100 Cheesecake Factory Gift card for &94.99 (I don’t expect the kids to get this so I would  give myself this this gift)

5. Entertainment- Regal Entertainment Group Premiere Movie Ticket 2-pack $19.99 giftcard (Love movies) 

6. Kitchen/Houseware- NewAir 12-bottle thermoelectric wine cooler $159.99 (Another gift to myself)

7. Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion. 2 pack/18 ounce & 2.5 ounce travel size $14.99 (After a rough winter I need my skin to be refreshed and moisturized) 

8. Gillette Venus Luscious Lilies Shave Gel Prep 3/Pack for $6.49 (shaving is a must) Love smooth skin. 

9. Berkley Jensen Moisture Infusing Shampoo and Conditioner $6.49 each for 40 ounce (to make me feel renewed and rehydrated)

10. Random gift from the heart. 

I took my son with me to BJ’s to see what Mother’s Day gifts he would pick out for me and I was happy to see that he went straight for the things I mentioned above. He knows his mama. 

  
That concludes my wish list. Convenient, affordable, simple one -stop shopping. 
To help ease consumers’ pain in the pocket, BJ’s Wholesale Club is offering non-members a Free 90-Day Membership available now through Sunday, July 3.

Shoppers can print the coupon at http://bit.ly/1T695nN and visit their local BJ’s club to activate their trial. Once enrolled, shoppers are given a membership number and will receive a membership card upon visiting the member services desk.   

   BJ’s is also currently offering a 15 month membership for $40 now through Sunday, July 3 plus a coupon book with more than $2,000 worth of savings.

Be Your Own Beautiful With Cantu Hair Products

14 Dec

I was invited to join Cantu for breakfast to celebrate their latest innovation in hair care products. I am always looking for ways to protect me and my kids hair. I don’t just put anything in it. I want products that doesn’t weigh down our hair, no harsh chemicals or ingredients, products that repair dry hair, leave in conditioner that makes hair easy to manage, oils that add shine, tames frizz and smooths fly aways.  

    
    
 Shea and coca butter, argan, castor and jojoba oils is also great to have in hair products. Leaves hair smelling great, clean and fresh while strengthening hair.  

    
 With Cantu products I love wearing my hair curly. There’s even a kid’s line which I’ve been using on my daughter and we love it. The leave in conditioner has 100% pure shea butter, coconut oil and honey formulated without harsh ingredients. It moisturizes, repairs and conditions fragile coils, curls and waves to stop breakage. Cantu Care for Kid’s Leave in Conditioner is also good to have.  

   
It’s also very important to get hot oil and deep treatments to heal/repair dry, brittle and damaged hair. Cantu’s Intensive Repair Deep Treatment Masque is perfect for that. I am not a fan of split ends so I use Cantu’s Split End Mender Conditioning Mist. I use this daily to to combat split ends caused by lack of moisture and styling.  

    
   

  

  

  
I was so happy to get a look at the new products coming to stores in 2016. Prices are amazing!

#SummerSocial InStyle Recap 

27 Aug

In Style hosted their #SummerSocial event at 404 NYC highlighting all the must haves in beauty, fashion and lifestyle brands. It’s an event not to be missed. 

Some brands that caught my eye were Dickinson’s Original Witch Hazel. I remember this smell growing up from my mother and grandmother. I still use it till this day and now my kids love the towelettes and the face wipes. I will be taking these with me when traveling as well. They are also good after a workout in the gym. They also handed out a cute notepad with a key attached which was very nice. 

Gardein meat free foods were the treats of the night. The fishless fish & chips and beefless tacos were spicy and so good. The crabless crab cakes were banging. 

Thierry Mugler perfumes were amazing. I’m in love with the Alien scent. The other scent available was Angel. I was able to get both samples and a large Angel sample came in the gift bag. I will be stocking up on the Alien perfume. My favorite new perfume. 

Peony had gorgeous leggings with animal and floral prints and asymmetrical tops and luxe tees to sports bras. Fashionable activewear that’s comfortable and can be mixed and matched. Leggings are versatile and can go from work to workout. Everyone received a great headband from them. 

Sun Chips gave out samples of their chips. I love the Harvest Cheddar and French Onion. There were raffles throughout the night and I won a pair of Ross & Brown sunglasses. Loved it! I also enjoyed receiving Ponds cleansing towlettes in my gift bag as well. Essie nail polish in copper was also included. Can’t wait to try that color. I also decorated a cool cell phone case with gems and bling courtesy of Brancott Estate. 

I had a great time with friends and connecting with brands and can’t wait till the next one. Thank you for the invite Single Edition Media.
