Save 20% and get ready for spring with a whiter, fresher smile with Smile Brilliant Whitening Professional Teeth Whitening Kit #sponsored #smilebrilliant

I need to have a bright, white smile every single day. I spend my days educating clients about my products and a fresh smile is important. I want people to focus on my words, not any discoloration on my teeth. I am careful about caring for my teeth and gums. I brush with a whitening toothpaste and floss daily but that wasn't enough to get my teeth to look their whitest. I used to spend a bundle getting my teeth whitened at the dentist once a year, but then I found an option that is just as effective but I can use it at home. It is so convenient and much less costly to be able to whiten my teeth at home.

I recently had the opportunity to try the Smile Brilliant Whitening Professional Teeth Whitening Kit.  This teeth whitening kit comes neatly packaged and it is easy to create your perfectly matched dental trays.  I just followed the simple instructions to create my own molds and sent them to Smile Brilliant. It only took a few minutes to do on a work night too. They have a quick turn around and before I knew it, my soft and comfy personalized trays were in my mailbox. This is a powerful whitening formula so you only need a thin and tiny bead of gel for each tray. You can use it for about a few minutes a day. This uses the same dental-grade formula used by thousands of dentists. It is more effective than other drugstore whitening options as this includes your customized trays that perfectly mold to your mouth. The gel whitening solution goes exactly where you want it and stays in the tray to work on your teeth.

It has the advanced ingredients to deliver dentist grade results. I like that it uses the same technique the dentist uses, but I can do it all from the comfort and convenience of my home. This is the process used by hundreds of dentists and whitening kiosks around the country that has been customized for easy-to-use at home application.  I used Smile Brilliant Whitening once a day to get the whitening results I like for 7 days but you can begin with shorter treatments to gauge teeth sensitivity.


This Smile Brilliant Whitening Professional grade whitening gel effectively whitens teeth quickly. You treat for less time while still effectively whitening your teeth with beautiful results. This comfortable kit is truly designed to fit around any schedule. You can use this treatment as needed to whiten teeth. Even better, you don't have to use it on consecutive days to see results either.  I like that I saw results fast too...after the first whitening session I saw a big improvement. My friend Deb stopped by after the first treatment and spontaneously complimented me on my super white teeth. It was so funny, I told her I had just done my first teeth whitening treatment with Smile Brilliant using their customized trays! She said she could see a difference and knew I had done something. Wow...that was a surprise.

Smile Brilliant Whitening was easy to use. I was in need of a treatment desperately too..it had been way too long. This kit arrived just in time. I feel so much more confident this week when I smile. The syringes that come with the kit are more than enough for a full treatment. You might even have extra. I like to store it in the refrigerator so it will last longer and still be effective for a touch up. You can pick up this Smile Brilliant Whitening professional teeth whitening kit online for easy shopping anytime.

Supercharge Spring skincare with a mask #sponsored @Neutrogena #ItsInTheGel #GotItForFree

Thanks to @Neutrogena for sending me products from their new Mask Collection just in time for spring. I can believe that my flowers are actually coming up. I love all the bright, cheerful flowers that are in bloom now. I get to choose cute little candy colored dresses even wear my hair up. My skin has to look its very best though because more skin is exposed now that I am free of coats, scarves and even those winter hats. I look to my go-to brands like Neutrogena to help me keep my skin in beautiful condition with simple tweaks to my regular routine. I was excited to see that there is a new Neutrogena® Mask Collection to help refresh me and my skin just in time for festival season.

As a busy working mama, I don't have time for hours of beauty rituals morning and night. Don't get me wrong, I am meticulous with caring for my skin from SPF to creams, lotions and serums morning and night. I don't miss a day....or night no matter what. Sometimes we all need a little extra help to bring out the radiance and boost the fresh look of our facial skin. You don't need a lot of time to do that either, thanks to Neutrogena. The solution is "in the Gel," literally. Get ready for new line of gel facial masks from the Neutrogena Radiance Boost and Hydro Boost that make it easy to look your best even on a time budget. I received three different masks to try and will share the scoop about each of them: Radiance Boost Brightening 100% Hydrogel Mask, Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Hydrating 100% Hydrogel Mask and Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Hydrating Overnight Gel Mask.

It is possible to maintain radiant, healthy skin with a simple line of quality products plus a few extras. Don't forget that the most healthy skin starts from the inside with a healthy diet, lots of water and an active exercise regimen but....good skincare is critical as part of the whole picture.  It doesn't have to to be complicated or expensive but don't take short cuts with your skin. HydroBoost and Radiance Boost lines from Neutrogena address my personal skincare needs at a reasonable price point. HydroBoost has expanded their line of gentle but effective skincare that have the advantage of novel technologies from South Korea. 

Neutrogena® Hydrogel Sheet Masks use innovative technologies to make your skin look beautiful with minimal effort. Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Hydrating 100% Hydrogel Mask is a moisturizing face mask with hyaluronic acid that quickly quenches dry skin and contours to your skin for optimal absorption, leaving it supple and hydrated. This mask fuses nourishing essences with a polymer derived from seaweed to form a translucent, flexible sheet. It is super easy to apply, wear, and most importantly, to remove. The best part is the Hydrogel conforms to the contours of the face so the hyaluronic acid can penetrate into the skin. The mask creates a barrier, helping intense hydrators and other ingredients to quench skin. This is a favorite of mine. I love the comfortable feel and it really holds in the moisture. Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Hydrating 100% Hydrogel Mask instantly pumps up the moisture and keeps my skin looking smooth all day long. My skin feels comfortable and looks smooth and soft after I use it.  It is easy to use too. Cleanse your skin first. Peel the white film backing from the mask sheet and throw out. Place the hydrogel down on your face and relax for about 15-30 minutes with the mask on. I like to read a book or close my eyes and meditate. Remove the mask and massage the rest of the product onto the face and neck.

The Neutrogena Radiance Boost Brightening 100% Hydrogel Mask provides intense hydration and actually brightens skin and boosts the radiance. It gets rid of that dull, tired look and smooths the skins texture too. It is a sheet mask that contours right to your face with a comfortable feel. . This mask contains Vitamin B3 to make your skin look refreshed and radiant. I like how it intensely hydrates and energizes the look of my skin very quickly. It really supercharges my appearance after only a few minutes. Neutrogena recommends using this mask after cleansing. It is easy to use just the other sheet mask. Always cleanse your skin first. Peel the white film backing from the mask sheet and throw out. Place the hydrogel down on your face and relax for about 15-30 minutes with the mask on. Read a book or just relax. Remove the mask after 15-30 minutes and massage the rest of the product onto the face and neck.

Neutrogena® Single Use Mask Shots are another novel skincare booster that you can try. I adore these cute little pods. Hydro Boost hydrating Overnight Gel Mask pod is a mask "shot" to deeply hydrate and moisturize  the skin. This is the perfect one dose formula to boost hydration for ultra soft skin. It contains hyaluronic acid to saturate the skin with moisture while you sleep. This formula is also infused with that key ingredient, hyaluronic acid which we know boosts the skin's hydration.  It left my skin soft and comfortable when I woke up in the morning. I looked refreshed and my skin looked super smooth.I like the neat and portable pods. These are great to bring on vacation and business trips so you can look refreshed on the go. They are sealed completely for maximum freshness so you can take them anywhere. There are a variety of formulas that are tailored perfectly for every skin type too.

Check out all the new masks available for spring right now. Get to Know the Neutrogena® Mask Collection:

Julie by Catherine Marshall: a Classic Book review and giveaway: Julie #sponsored #giveaway

Welcome to this blog stop. Don't forget to visit the other stops to see what everyone has to say about this wonderful read. Get ready for the beach with a good book like this one.

This is a great classic book you will just love to read or re-read. I love to dive into history with books like this one that involve other eras like the Great Depression. It is so fascinating to read and imagine the era. In this wonderful classic, Julie Wallace has always wanted to write. With limited options to  escape the Great Depression, Julie’s father tries something different. He buys a small town newspaper called the Alderton Sentinel. He moves his entire family to Alderton, Pennsylvania. Of course the town is subject to flooding and often. As flash floods ominously increase, Julie’s crack investigative reporting uncovers long hidden secrets that could endanger the entire community.
 

Things get wild when the powerful owners of the steel mills stand off against Julie, the newspaper, and her family. The family continues to investigate the horrid conditions of the immigrant laborers nevertheless. Tensions really rise when the Alderton Sentinel and Julie take on a more aggressive role to reform these awful conditions. The book takes a turn when a devastating tragedy follows a truly shocking revelation.  Julie’s courage and strength are tested again and again. You will want to read late into the night to find out Will truth and justice win, or will Julie lose everything she holds dear?

Charlie and Alice are forced to adjust their parenting strategy. They are surprised to find effective, life-long solutions that were closer than they imagined. Like Arrows explores the joys and many heartaches of parenting. The movie unfolds over a long journey of 50 years.

Clairol Clairol Root Touch-Up for hair and brows @Influenster @ClairolColor, #ColorConfidently #Contest #Complimentary

Thanks to Clairol and Influenster for sharing this new product with me complimentary. I work out, I eat super clean, I do it all but one thing I have no control over is the gray hair. It is eternally frustrating. It seems like I have those hair appointments for touch ups faster and faster to cover the gray and it is a challenge to keep up. I am a mama with a busy career and family. Of course I keep up with all the most trendy and hip styles but who can keep up with covering that gray? Clairol Clairol Root Touch-Up is a brand whose mission is to offer innovative solutions to unique hair concerns for women like you and me.

I had the opportunity to try out Clairol Clairol Root Touch-Up through Influenster. This is an innovative root touch-up powder product that provides quick and easy gray root coverage. It is fast and simple and it stays on until I wash it out. I like that the sleek container is small enough that I can stash it in my luggage for business trips but there is plenty in there. Sometimes products have only a few applications and that really is not time saving for me. I love it--this powder will last for several months.

The product is a powder so it can blend seamlessly with your hair color and brows. The result is that I know I see a very a natural-looking finish.

Generation Good Seventh Generation Free & Clear Laundry Detergent Packs Sample @seventhgen #sponsored

Disclosure: I received samples of Seventh Generation Free + Clear Laundry Detergent for free. 

I recently received a packet in the mail with two Seventh Generation Free+ Clear laundry detergent Pack samples to try and share with a friend. I was excited to try Seventh Generation Free + Clear laundry detergent and the samples I received made it easy. One of the best things about this laundry detergent is that it is a safer choice. It has no dyes, optical brighteners or fragrances to cause skin problems. Just clean and fresh clothes even in cold water! I tried the laundry detergent pack in my household for one load. I received the solid packs, but it also comes in a liquid formula. It worked well for my colored clothes. They smelled just clean without fragrance or chemicals. My clothes came out clean and fresh and there was no residue or scent. My hubby was so happy he asked me to add it onto our weekly shopping list. He is a scent-free just of a guy. These are great if you prefer unscented detergent or have allergies.

Do you or someone in your family prefer clean clothes without any kind of scent? Sometimes scent can be quite irritating to skin. In the winter, my family is so much more susceptible to itchy, dry skin and even eczema. It can be very annoying and bothersome. Detergents like this excellent option from Seventh Generation really help us out for a few reasons. This plant-based formula is tough on stains without fragrances, dyes or artificial brighteners.  It gets our dirtiest dirties all fresh and clean from the hubby's Ultimate Frisbee sweats to my icky sweaty gym clothes. Think about it. Now you can get a clean you can trust that is made for sensitive skin. 

 

The best part about this sampling is that I was able to share my second packet with a friend. Ellen was excited to try this since she always does wash on the weekend. Her son has super sensitive skin and she told me that he liked the way shirts did not smell and there was no issue with itchy skin. All set, next week we will pick up a bottle. Try it and let me know what you think.

Wintertime Skincare: What’s your #SkincareStatus now? #sponsored @Neutrogena #GoBeyondClean

I recently partnered with Neutrogena to share my thoughts about how to manage an effective skincare routine. As a busy mama who juggles family, fitness and work I need to keep myself looking pretty too. Time is always a balance challenge for me though. My skincare regimen has to be effective but simple.  It is possible to achieve radiant, healthy skin with a simple line of quality products. Ingredients are a key to it all. I have always believe healthy skin starts from the inside with a healthy diet and an active exercise regimen but....good skincare is critical as part of the whole picture.  It doesn't have to be complicated or expensive but don't take short cuts with your skin. It is easy these days to take care of your skin with the latest HydroBoost line from Neutrogena that address my skincare needs at a reasonable price point. HydroBoost is new line of gentle but effective skincare gel cream products that cleans and moisturizes at the same time with the advantage of hyaluronic acid.  I love the light textured products in this line but don't let the see through pretty gel cream formulas fool you. These gel cream based products are effective at cleansing and the creams absorb quickly into the skin to pump up the moisture to the nth degree. I received several products to try including the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gentle Cleansing Lotion, Cleansing Gel, Exfoliating Cleanser, Multivitamin Booster and Water Gel.

This is a favorite of mine. I love the light texture but it really holds in the moisture. Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Water Gel instantly pumps up the moisture and keeps skin looking smooth all day long. This formula absorbs fast so it is great for busy morning routines. One of the key ingredients is ultra hydrating hyaluronic acid. This is actually naturally found in the skin but it gets depleted as we age. The extra boost is just what my skin needs. The hyaluronic acid actually absorbs up to 1,000 times its weight in water. My skin feels smooth and soft after I use it. It is free of oil  or alcohol too so it is perfect pre-makeup primer or on its own. Non-comedogenic too.  Apply evenly to face and neck after cleansing morning or night. 19.99

My skin gets dry in the winter and over the years this has become more of a challenge. Hydro Boost Multivitamin Booster provides intense hydration and actually energizes your skin. It gets rid of that dull, tired look that can develop as you age and gives the skin a refreshed look. This face serum contains purified hyaluronic acid. This is an important building block for the skin. It helps to really pump up the skins moisture barrier against dryness. Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Multivitamin Booster Serum intensely hydrates and energizes the look of your skin. It adds hydration to improve the look of your skin each day. This ultra hydrating serum for dry skin is fortified with vitamin E and that critical purified hyaluronic acid. HA is a compound that occurs naturally in skin and it actually behaves like a sponge for dry skin and absorbs and retains all that essential water. Neutrogena recommends using this serum after cleansing and before moisturizing. Alternatively, you can add it to your favorite face moisturizer. 18.99

Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel is a gentle and light option to achieve a clean face while improving hydration and moisture in the skin. This is the perfect cleanser since it also boosts hydration for ultra soft skin. I like the way this lightweight gel cleanser transforms itself into a creamy lather that removes makeup and any kind of dirt quickly and thoroughly. This formula is also infused with that key ingredient, hyaluronic acid which we know boosts the skin's hydration. This cleansing gel cleans and locks in hydration at the same time. It left my skin soft and comfortable when I used it. Soap-free. Oil-free. Paraben-free. Hypoallergenic. Non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) It is super easy to use too. Just wet your face, apply a bit to your hands and lather it up, wash and rinse well. 8.99

Hydro Boost Exfoliating Cleanser is a great way to exfoliate your skin as you clean. I love 2-in-1 beauty and skin care because it saves me time. This gentle formula exfoliates whiles boosting hydration in the skin. It left my skin clean, soft and glowing after I used it. This one is very lightweight and it is also gel-cream based like the entire Hydro Boost line of products. It was created with naturally-derived skin smoothing agents to effectively get your skin ultra clean and smooth. It also contains hyaluronic acid which helps to bump up the hydration and lock it right it. This left my skin clean, soft and comfortable. I use exfoliating cleanser a few times a week but Neutrogena has shared that this one is actually gentle enough for daily use. It is also easy to use. Just wet your face, apply to hands, add a bit of water and lather it up. Massage it gently in, avoiding eyes and rinse really well. Easy peasy! 8.99

If you are looking for a fragrance free option to clean your skin thoroughly, Hydro Boost Gentle Cleansing Lotion is a good one to try. It is mild and kind of melts into your skin to get rid of all the days dirt, oil and even makeup. It leaves your skin smooth and soft. Like the other Hydro Boost products, it has been derm tested for sensitive skin.  8.99

Neutrogena, has a long history in skincare going back to the 1930's. It says something about the company when you know that your dermatologist always recommends Neutrogena products as well.
I have known them since I was a teenager to be a company that I can rely on for premium skincare at a reasonable price. Check out Neutrogena to find out more about this great HydroBoost product line and all the other great products they have to offer.

Nourish Organic Natural Face Cleanser #trynatural #gotitfree @socialnature @nourishUSDA

I am a real stickler about washing my face every single night before I go to bed. I wash my face and get my creams, serums and lotions on there because I know it makes a difference. Your face has to be clean for those healthy elements to absorb in there though. All those layers of CC cream and day creams have to be removed thoroughly. The reality is that so many face wash and makeup removal products out there have ingredients I don't want on my skin, even for a minute. So naturally I was excited to try a novel option that is free of fragrance and weird chemicals I can't pronounce. Nourish Organic Natural Face Cleanser is a new option that I really enjoyed using over the past few weeks and I will continue to use it.

This is a face cleanser that really works quickly to remove makeup and the everyday dirt and oil that accumulates on the skin. It gets right into the pores and dissolves all that icky stuff and washes it away. It has no fragrance and it washes the skin clean without drying it or causing any irritation. I love that it is filled with vitamins and antioxidants to help my skin look its best. This gentle cleanser washes away impurities without causing redness, drying or irritating skin. Natural cucumber hydrates and soothes skin as it cleans. It also contains watercress which is super rich in antioxidants. This helps support skin against free radical damage.

Choose a few ready-made nibbles like a bowl of nuts that are ready to go and you will be happy you did so.  There are tons of ways to make it easy!

We just had 20 people come for a recent Thanksgiving party and then this past weekend we had a big game party with another 15 guests. Both events were easy-peasy because I planned ahead and took my own tips on using ready made nibbles and easy appetizers. One item that really makes a party is meat, cheese and crackers. Everyone loves cheese and crackers plus those little extras like pepperoni and olives. Hormel has created a new option that simplifies all the shopping and puts many of those delicious snacks in one tray. There are several varieties so you can choose your favorites but wow, what a time-saver. You can use one of these trays by itself or supplement with additional appetizers. Either way it saves a bunch of shopping and prepping. Whether you love honey ham and turkey or adore hard salami and pepperoni, Hormel has a tray perfect for your next event. HORMEL GATHERINGS® Party Trays make it fun and easy. 

For Thanksgiving, I set out my HORMEL GATHERINGS® Party Trays as part of the appetizers. Add a few hot and cold dips, some additional crackers and bread sticks and I was done in a flash. Hormel crafted these portable party trays to make party hosting easy since they are a cinch to use. You can unwrap and serve right from the clear tray or you can re-plate and get a little fancier. They are priced very reasonably too. These appetizer trays really are perfect for any event including a tailgate or fall football. These party trays are totable and certainly would make a welcome hostess gift. There are several varieties available so you can try one or more at your next event.
