Zep cleans it all up from the house to my hands with Zep All-Around Oxy, Zep Quick Clean Disinfectant and ZEP Cherry Bomb Hand Cleaner #sponsored

Zep Cherry Bomb Hand Cleaner is a simple way to get my hands clean and sanitary even after working in the yard or around the outside. It has a light scent that is not overpowering. ZEP Cherry Bomb Hand Cleaner even works on hard to remove stuff like  grease, ink and paint.. if you work with outdoor equipment like lawnmovers, ZEP will get that gunk off! The fresh cherry scent works to totally eliminate stinky smells like fuel and oil. The best part is that it does NOT contain any kind of harsh chemicals, so it will not dry out your hands. It actually leaves my hands feeling soft and looking pretty.

Zep Quick Clean Disinfectant works quickly and effectively to get surfaces clean in my home. It has a light fresh scent that is not overpowering. I like that it cleans and disinfects at the same time. It gives me confidence during my home cleaning process and saves me time since it is a 2 in 1 product!

I really liked how quick I could clean up my bath with Zep All-Around Oxy. It got all the makeup and icky grime cleaned up quickly. My bathroom surfaces shined up so nicely.  The bathtub was fresh as a daisy and all those bath oils were cleaned right up thanks to my Zep All-Around Oxy. 

I am all about a culture of clean. I like every clean and organized but it is a challenge with sports playing people in the house including myself. We are active and running around all the time. Zep makes it easy to get the house cleaned up quickly and to leave everything looking fresh and clean. We try to leave the shoes by the door which is the best start but any grass stains or dirt I know Zep will clean it up fast.

Disclosure: I was not financially compensated for this post. I received the products for review purposes. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the products. '

I love it....Beauty Box five has the fun beauty ideas for every day of the year whether it is spring, summer, fall or winter.  My little blue box from BB5 helps me manage to keep it all together at work and at home to freshen up my glam look no matter what the day holds for me.  BB5 shows you how you can squeeze in quality beauty time into even the days you gotta speed things along with a few little special products.  Check out all the trendiest of autumn fashions now that the long, hot days of summer are starting to fade!

A BB5 subscription makes a great gift any friend would appreciate all year long.

Everyone loves getting the inside scoop. I like trying new beauty products from sunscreens to lipsticks and find that I often find new faves.  That is one of the great things about BB5.  You can try lots of new things and sub in new favorites without being stuck with a huge bottle of this or that. I happens to the best of us even with green intentions. Sometimes I look at a product in the store but I worry it might not be for me and I don't want to spend all that money if I don't know that I really like it.  Who needs something else to sit on the bathroom shelf or take up more room in a drawer? I would always feel guilty. Every once in a while you get lucky and the store has a sample or perhaps a beauty company sends you a sample and you get to try it first.  That is the premise behind BB5.

The ideal solution for all of us is brought to you by Beauty Box 5. They understand and created their great beauty sampling box program. Beauty Box 5 is an amazing subscription beauty box sampler that is delivered right to your doorstep (or mailbox) filled with a combination of 5 brand new cosmetic samples monthly, quarterly or annually.

You can get a Beauty Box 5 monthly for $12, quarterly for $30 or annually for just $99.  Shipping is always free.  A fun way to check out lots  of the new beauty stuff out there without a whole lot of $$ investment. The great part is that if you like something, you can just up and buy the full size item, right?  Much better than buying a full size you-know-what-beauty-item and paying a fortune and then it sits in the makeup bag gathering dust because it doesn't work for you.

Beauty Box 5 mixes it up with their brands and keeps things adventurous. They source from a mix of niche, luxe, regular drugstore, vegan and eco-conscious brands.  One month you might get hair care, nail care, makeup, skin care, fragrances or even beauty accessories or a mix of any of the above.  I love the suspense!  You will get a carefully curated blend of travel, full-size and deluxe samples from their most current collection.

The first item in this box is Nanacoco Jumbo Eye + Lip Pencil. I am always looking for tricks that will up my summer style without a lot of work. Always a win-win is a dual use product like this one. I love the bright color that lets me rev up the color for a summer night out. This pencil goes on very smoothly and can be used as a liner or more thickly for a shadow. I received a pretty bright color that is just perfect for my eyes for summer. It is a brighter, aqua tone so I don't know that I would be using this one on my lips but my tween might go for it. You can be as adventurous as you want and there are tons of colors options.  I love love love any double duty cosmetics so this one is a winner. This pretty color looks great on most any any skin tone.

Cougar Beauty 24 Hour Liquid Lipstick is a super long lasting formula that really seems to stay on even through eating and drinking a glass of wine or two. I love my lipsticks and this color is really pretty. It isn't too bright but it adds enough flash to really perk up my lips and skintone. This will be great on those long summer nights when I just don't want to apply and reapply again. For a really fun look you can go for winged eyeliner, a bit of blush on the cheeks and a cute dress or romper. Perfect. Add a glass of wine and enjoy your evening!  Retail $12.99

Jersey Shore Cosmetics Mongongo Lip Conditioner in Vanilla Coconut Cream is just what you need to keep your lips soft on the go. I was so excited when I read that this was an organic lip balm too.

Keep one by your bed to moisturize before you go to bed or tuck one in your travel bag for weekends away. BB5 had the best tip too: You can use this yummy Vanilla Coconut Cream Lip Conditioner before you apply liquid lipstick to get (and keep!) your lips extra soft. You can even use it with a lighter touch for a more diffused look. Retail $10.00

  

SJelly Pong Pong Bare Necessities Highlighting Pencil is so versatile and can be used in many different ways. This pretty peach shaded pencil can work perfectly as an eye shadow base, highlighter and even as a concealer. If you don't get all the sleep you need, like me, you might want to try it as an instant wide-awake tool. You can glide it onto the inner and outer corners of your eyes and blend it for a refreshed look. If you have an extra minute, glide it across your waterline as well. Intsta-refresh no matter what time of day! Retail $17.95

The final product is the Daily Concepts Exfoliating Body Scrubber. This is just what you need for spring and summer.

Pizza Flatbreads are an easy and fast weeknight recipe idea that you can customize how you like #pizzaflatbread #flatbreadpizza #pizza #homemadepizza #fastdinner

My husband and I both enjoy cooking but as a dual working couple with a tween it can be a challenge to get a healthy meal out there most every night. We both are determined to keep it healthy for us and for the family. We are all active between Ultimate Frisbee, running, track and field and my varied fitness routines including Crossfit. One of our staples that end up on the table at least once a month is a fun one that we have named Pizza Flatbreads. You can customize them for any diet or fitness plan or go all out if you can eat what you like.

You can use pita bread or flatbreads or if you are keeping your carbs down you can make them from broccoli or cauliflower blended with cheese. That is also another option as well.  We usually use whole wheat flatbreads from Trader Joes and I stock them in the freezer. They stay well for a few months.

This time my hubby was the chef and he added sauteed spinach, Mediterranean olives, Trader Joes fat free crumbled feta cheese (it is President fat-free crumbled feta cheese with a Trader Joes label and half the price!) You can add whatever kind of cheese or veggies you like whether it is broccoli or zucchini, we have used yellow squash, eggplant and even squash. You can saute onions and garlic, add colorful chopped peppers or use whatever is in the refrigerator. You could even put chopped egg on it. Enjoy your fast and easy recipe and let me know what you think!
