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! Don't forget to share your fave finds and share with friends too. Take a peek at a few beauty goodies to go along with your pretty fashions and maybe grab a few extra for friends. 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 start out at just $12 a month or save more by getting a longer subscription. Signing up to receive Beauty Box 5 each month is a great new way for anyone from teens to moms to sample new cosmetic products and see what works for you.  Each month they include tips and tricks for the products on the back of this little card below to help you get the most out of your beauty samples each month.

Beauty Box 5 is always on the lookout for the latest new items to make the best matches for your own personal taste and lifestyle.  The prices are reasonable too. 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.
  

I just received the April Hydration Vacation Box this week.  The April theme is the fresh hydrated start for spring. Beauty Box 5 always has all the tools and tricks to help you look pretty from your head to your toes.  Okay, but just how do you get your hair, lips, eyes and nails looking just so? Let BB5 help you out! The team at Beauty Box 5 wants to remember you are it is all about taking care of yourself.  They show you just how to style your hair and eliminate the frizzies. They give you the tools to freshen up your nails super fast and glam them up with hot winter colors. This month the focus is on the skin and face. Beauty Box 5 is here with a ton of special treats to help you along the way.  Here is the scoop on the amazing treats that were in this sweet sea blue March box:

As always, my box was filled with of lovely goodies that I could not wait to try. There were treats for my hands, face and body tucked in there this month.  There were several special items to keep me looking fresh and alluring wherever I go.  Even if it is far from home I will still be looking good with all my goodies stashed in my bag.

The first item in this box is a sample package of Maskeraide All  Eyes on Me Hydrating Eye Gels. I never get enough sleep so I need some serious de-puffing. I always need all the extra love I can get for my poor peepers. I am always on the lookout for anything that can make me look better on the way out the door.These are super hydrating and only take a few minutes to make a big difference. $25 CAD

This busy mama works some long days but no matter how tired I am I just have to get the makeup off and put on my creams, lotions and potions. Busy days and nights call for fast options to get my face clean and ready for the overnight routine.  Global Beauty Care Green Tea Makeup Remover Wipes do the trick for me. Even when my days are long I can whip out one of these and get my face clean fast. One or two gets all the makeup off including mascara and liner.  Added bonus: use these daily and they tone and improve the look of wrinkles and dryness! These are going to be great for my next biz trip too--space saving and no issue with security at the airport is a big plus. I might get a second one for my travel make up bag so I can look fresh for my business trips--those days are even longer.  Retail: $1.99.

Chella Passionate Pink Moisturizing Lip Pencil is a pretty option for adding some color to my lips fast while keeping them hydrated. This is always a challenge on busy days but I can't go out the door without lipcolor. Touch ups are always an issue as well I don't have space for a ton of makeup in my purse so this chubby stick is a winner. If you are like me and have busy days and little purse space you may want to take a peek at this pretty option perfect for your make-up bag everyday, purse and travel. Pretty color on my lips in a snap? Yes! This is priced reasonably too so enjoy...pick up a few colors to stash in your purse or travel bag. Retail $18

I love a moisturizing lip product with a zip of color like this Jelly Pong Pong Paradise Pigments Lip Gloss. You only need a little bit to add some bold color and moisturize at the same time. I always feel like I need a spring refresh for my lip colors. Something about a bright pop of moisturizing color adds that extra little zip even on busy mornings. Perfect for travel or sports...you can even dab on your cheeks for a natural looking blush of color. These colors are an ideal lighter option to get a little color and moisture anytime.  I am one happy Mama since lipgloss let's me feel a bit happy no matter what my day brings. A good deal at $19.95.

I just adore the new Soapbox Sea Minerals Body Wash. You only need a little bit to really transport yourself back to a summer day at the beach with this great scent. I love that it is moiturizing with aloe vera, shea butter and of course, sea minerals. The best part about picking up a full sized bottle of this wonderful body wash is that each purchase also gives soap to someone in need. Wonderful and charitable idea, right? I received a great travel sized face one to try but I love the scent so much I will be on the lookout for this at Target. Good for me and for someone in need. Soapbox supports! Retail $5.99

So, are you ready to get in on the fun? The ladies from BB5 have put together another really amazing box full of beauty fun perfect to take you straight into spring and even summer. Don't forget to join Beauty Box 5 and get in on the goodies to keep you looking fab all four seasons.

Gray Roots go away with EVERPRO® GRAY AWAY Temporary Root Concealers @Brandbacker

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? EVERPRO® is a brand whose mission is to offer innovative solutions to unique hair concerns for women like you and me. They understand that sometimes we need fast solutions that keep us looking gorgeous even when time is at a premium. EVERPRO® has a high-performance range of easy-to-use hair care products that you can find right online for easy and private shopping. I love that EVERPRO® has professional-grade salon formulas that I can access without the necessity of a beauty license or any kind of hullabaloo.

I had the opportunity to try out EVERPRO® GRAY AWAY. This is an innovative root touch-up 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 container is small enough that I can stash it in my luggage for business trips but there is plenty in there...enough for 40 applications. Sometimes products have only a few applications and that really is not time saving for me. I love it--40 applications will last for several months. They also make another product called BACK2BLONDE. This is a revolutionary temporary root concealer for blondes that instantly disguises dark and/or gray roots.

There are several reasons that GRAY AWAY is a top selling root concealer. The first is that it is the fastest and easiest way to temporarily touch up gray roots by providing instant coverage. These temporary root concealers are the best option to bridge between salon color touch up appointments or when you simply don't have time for traditional hair coloring methods. Lordy knows, that happens to all of us busy ladies on occasion. You even have two options for formulas now. GRAY AWAY is available in both a spray and a newly released powder formula. Both the powder and spray contain a novel, self-adjusting color technology. The benefit is that this allows the product to blend seamlessly with your hair color. The result is that I know I see a very a natural-looking finish. If you travel for business like me or just have a hectic week at home or in the office, this is the easy solution.  GRAY AWAY totally saves me stress, time and money too. I no longer get anxious if I can't get right into the salon for a touch up appointment. I know I can wake up, do my makeup, spray a bit of GRAY AWAY and be on my way to my clients.  GRAY AWAY lets me truly extend the life of my hair color.  

GRAY AWAY temporary root concealer spray is easy to use too. You don't need to mix anything either. You just spray with this super accurate pinpoint applicator it goes right where you need it. It dries in seconds and doesn't flake or rub off. This gives me the targeted coverage I need quickly and discreetly. I was surprised at how effectively the self-adjusting color-matching technology blended seamlessly with my dark blond hair color to give me a truly a natural-looking finish. The current EVERPRO GRAY AWAY product line is made up of 3 colors (Black/Dark Brown, Light Brown, and Lightest Brown/Medium Blonde) that cover 9 shade levels. My hair is a dark blond/light brown and the Lightest Brown/Medium Blond shade worked well for me. As I mentioned, GRAY AWAY also recently launched a root touch-up magnetic powder formula. The Gray Away root touch-up magnetic powder is another fast option to get rid of those pesky gray hairs. It has a unique binding formula that attaches to each hair strand like tiny magnets providing the beautiful coverage  It utilizes a dome sponge applicator that lets you precisely contour and touch up those hard to reach places like your temples and the crown of your head. It has fun portable packaging with mirror allows you to take it with you on business or to keep with your makeup. It is the perfect complement to the Gray Away temporary root concealer spray.Try one or both options to see what works best for you. EVERPRO is so confident you will love their products too that they are offering my readers 20% off the purchase of any GRAY AWAY product(s) using the discount code NOGRAY20 (Available through 5/31/16).

You can find Gray Away online for easy shopping anytime. The best part is that you can use my special discount code for 20% off! Reader Discount: 20% Off Reader Discount Code: NOGRAY20

Kitchen Blitz Lemon & Lime Squeezer does the job one handed! #lemonsqueezer

I love to cook and bake but things like lemon pies and lemonade were always a real chore with my old time lemon squeezer. I also enjoy a hot cup of water with fresh lemon juice right when I wake up. I find it really helps keep my immune system healthy when I take a few minutes for that before I even have coffee. You have to try it--very relaxing. That old lemon squeezer was a piece of work though. It was time for an upgrade! I was excited to try this well constructed one handed lemon and lime squeezer from Kitchen Blitz. As soon as you hold it in your hands you can feel how well made it is. This is a hand held lemon squeezer with non-slip grip handles. I have very petite hands and I can grip it perfectly. I love that they include a free ebook with 10 recipes that use lemons or limes. 

The company has shared that this lemon juicer is made from die-cast aluminium too. Kitchen Blitz states that it will not bend or rust and is dishwasher safe.It has been working well for me and washes up in seconds. It makes it easy to make my morning cup of hot lemon water even half asleep because I can do it with one hand. You can pick up this Kitchen Blitz Lemon and Lime Squeezer on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.

Mr. Sketch® Scented Washable Markers are just as much fun as ever @crowdtap

Mr. Sketch® Scented Washable Markers are a blast from the past that you need in your life. I loved these as a kid and I adore them just as much now. Even better, so does my tween and that keeps her away from the computer and off the smartphone. She loves art and drawing and she never says no to her Mr. Sketch markers. I always had trouble deciding on my favorite and I still do. Blueberry is just so yummy but then watermelon and licorice make me so hungry they smell so good. My daughter and I love to use these for crafts and drawing since they always make any art project that much more fun.

We love the scent of Mr. Sketch® Scented Washable Markers the most. The colors are beautiful and the fact that they are washable is super as well. It makes for no worries! My kid loves the creative scents like cinnamon and licorice--makes drawing fun!

Mr. Sketch® Scented Washable Markers were always my fave when I was a kid. I remember doing crafts with friends and we would always have so much fun smelling the different scents while we created our masterpieces. Now my tween is doing the same thing with her friends. Her favorite scent is watermelon because it reminds her of summer. The best part is that these yummy scented markers are now washable. It lets her have more freedom and set my mind at ease when they create on the floor.

Folgers Simply Smooth® coffee starts my morning out right @crowdtap #Folgers #sponsored

Do you find your morning coffee not as enjoyable as it used to be? I recently found a solution via my partnership with Crowdtap that is truly win-win for everyone. Folgers crafted a new kind of coffee that is specially made to be easier on your tummy. Happy mornings again, right?

Folgers Simply Smooth® coffee tastes great and I find it is so much easier on my belly. I really do enjoy my morning coffee, but prior to finding this great new blend from Folger's I had sometimes switched to tea just to keep my belly a little happier. I was impressed with how smooth and flavorful this Folgers Simply Smooth® coffee is and it is a miracle for my stomach. 

I don't know what they do, those smart Folgers people, but somehow they removed whatever it was that caused me discomfort. I like that I can find Folgers Simply Smooth® coffee right in the regular grocery store that I shop too. Now I can pick it up each week so I am stocked up.

Advil Film Coated has the pain relief I can count on! @crowdtap #sponsored

The timing could have been better to receive my samples from Advil and Crowdtap. I  was sore from numerous hikes all week long while on our camping trip and little sleep but Advil® Film-Coated helped me push past the discomfort and pain. I had a healthy breakfast, took two Advil® Film-Coated and ran right up the mountain ahead of the pack. Beautiful views too as you can see! 

My friends Larry and Marie were also sore so I shared my stash of Advil with them while we were away camping. We all made it through each of the hikes with a little help from our friend Advil. By the time we were headed back we were all feeling better and I had two grateful friends! 

I work out 5-6 times a week and I know when I am sore I can count on Advil to help me keep going. As a busy mom I don't have time or the luxury to be down for the count either. Advil works fast and lasts for hours to give me the relief I need.

I have been working out for years now on my own, at the gym and squeezing it into my travel time. I love finding new tools to keep my regimen fresh...it is a good way to surprise those muscles as I often say. The proper equipment is critical to a good workout though. I recently had the opportunity to try a new pair of weightlifting gloves from Rim Sports that combine benefits. Rim Sports Weightlifting Gloves are a combination of superior quality gloves. 

The reality is you have to put in the time to get lean, tight and fit plus eat a clean diet. These gloves are a great tool to help you do quality exercises while protecting your hands and wrists. I totally feel a huge difference when I use these Rim Sports Weightlifting Gloves for my fitness routine from weights to pull-ups and push ups. There is no comparison, this is like night and day when I look at my old gloves. These gloves were designed with no slip contact padding to give a firmer hold. They feel different too since they are created from fabric that is breathable so less perspiration accumulates. They are constructed with 100% leather and spandex for the ultimate in durability. The unique design provides that extra support that we need for those tough, extended workouts. 

These washable workout gloves are ideal when lifting free weights, doing a forearm headstand or delivering that hook punch. They are great for CrossFit too. I love the blue color since they don't get lost in my gym bag! These gloves are made from breathable material to prevent hot hands but the padded palm protects and aids with grip. These washable weightlifting gloves are made to fit your active lifestyle. Rim Sports uses leather and spandex, which make their gloves more durable and for any kind of workout. These Rim Sports Weightlifting Gloves are made for show and support. Try them out and see for yourself. Rim Sports suggests that if you are between sizes, go one size smaller. Otherwise they are true to size.

What is a busy mama to do when she works long days but needs her eyes to look fresh all day long? Unfortunately work and social events continue to call so I call on reinforcements like this one from From Pur-Lisse.

It was my lucky week. I had the opportunity to try out a new hair care product that is a must-buy! L’Oreal Paris Advanced Haircare Extraordinary Oil shampoo, conditioner and serum worked fast to breathe new life into my parched hair.
