Skintimate Happy Legs Crowdtap Party #SkintimateHappyLegs Hosted Party

Disclosure:  I was recently chosen to participate in a Skintimate Happy Legs Party event through Crowdtap. I received complimentary products and promotional gifts in exchange for my honest opinion. 


What could be more fun than a GNO---oops I mean in not out. As in SPA PARTY? Thanks to Crowdtap I had the opportunity to host a bunch of friends for a pampering party.  Crowdtap knows that all of us ladies work hard and they were determined to do what they could to help us to feel confident and ready for anything.


They sent me an amazing Skintimate Primp, Protect, Pamper kit to help us tackle whatever challenges lay ahead of us. After the ten of us ladies finished pampering ourselves we totally felt refreshed and ready-to-go. Some appetizers, a few glasses of wine and some desserts also helped things along just a wee bit too.


After trying the Skintimate® Raspberry Rain® along with the Schick® Quattro for Women® Sparkle, I have to say that prepping my legs for the day is as easy as Primp, Protect, Pamper. It is a nice way to take care of your body and your senses at the same time. Take a peek at the kit I was sent to share with my girlfriends:
  • 10 Trial-Sized Samples of Skintimate® Raspberry Rain®
  • 3 Schick® Quattro for Women® Sparkle 4 ct.
  • 1 Exfoliating Scrub
  • 1 Post Shave Lotion
  • 1 Nail Polish

I told everyone to come as they are this weekend...I also gave all of them instructions not to bother to shave for a few days either because I had a special surprise for them. When they saw everything laid out in the bathroom they were so surprised and actually kind of excited. 

My friend Stacey said it would be great to have her legs exfoliated, shaved, moisturized and toes polished so she would be ready to go come Monday morning. Tammy said that she was totally on the mark and grabbed a glass of wine. Deb just sighed happily. We really had a lovely time chatting, exfoliating, shaving, moisturizing our legs and polishing our toes.

The scent in the guest bath was just intoxicating.  Everyone was so thrilled they got to take home a bottle of Skintimate® Raspberry Rain® and a Schick® Quattro for Women® Sparkle razor of their own. Our legs were super smooth and ready to go for the beginning of the week by the time everyone was leaving.

Ragu Makes Dinner a Success even on the Busy Days or Evenings #NewTraDish #RaguSauceMasters

Disclosure: I was recently chosen to participate in a Ragu Sampling event through Crowdtap. I received a complimentary coupon in exchange for my honest opinion.  



So Ragu told me that it is time to take my Ragú® Sauce Master status to the next level and create a Ragú® #NewTraDish recipe of my own. That’s right, I was up for the challenge to take a few minutes to create my own delicious spin on a Ragú® classic dish to share with friends and family!

Ragu makes it easy to pull a yummy, hot meal out of the oven on any day of the week. Trust me, I am one busy momma. I work, I have kids, I cook healthy meals but it is a challenge. I need all the help I can get. Sauces like the ones Ragu has in the local supermarket make my life a lot easier. I always have them in the house.  I like to stock up when there is a sale then when I am pressed for time I can put together something yummy and homemade in a flash. It is healthier since you avoid that fast food trap too.

I boiled up some whole wheat rotini and drained it. I put it in a casserole dish and poured a container of Ragu over it. Add grated Grana Padano cheese to taste and a can of organic white beans. I added two cups of fresh organic chopped spinach and a can of organic black olives. I baked it for 25 minutes until it was bubbling then I added some low fat mozzarella on top. Dinner was delicious. I invited my friends Amy and Ben over and my tween had her friend Liz as well.  Liz's mom came later and sampled my dish as well. Everyone loved my quick creation and it was healthy to boot. Try Ragu in my easy recipe and let me know how it turns out.

Hyperbiotics PRO-Kids Tangy Citrus Probiotic Review #BestProbioticForKids


Always check with your physician before starting any supplement product and specifically Hyperbiotics PRO-Kids. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult your healthcare professional prior to use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children.

I am a big believer in probiotics for myself and my family. We all take them from time to time. This is a great option for kids to help support their immune system.  PRO-Kids is crafted with superior patented technology and living probiotic organisms. Just like adult probiotics, they are released into the intestinal tract to provide the ultimate support. 

PRO-Kids probiotic formula for kids is specially designed by Hyperbiotics with 4 proven strains to help provide support to counter the negative effects of today's broad spectrum antibiotics. The company shares that the natural tangy citrus flavor provides full nutrient absorption. It has been shown that fatigue and irritability are often a result of poor vitamin and nutrient absorption.

PRO-Kids probiotics for kids help create a micro-environment inside the digestive system that supports full mineral absorption.  It has been documented that 80% of our immune system is in our gut. Probiotics, which are the good guys can help support the gut. The theory is that they don't make the gut a welcome environment for disease causing bacteria, AKA the bad guys to settle in. 

I love that Hyperbiotics PRO-Kids Tangy Citrus Probiotic is an All Natural and Sugar Free probiotic formula specifically designed for kids big and small! Our small sized pearl is easier for kids to swallow or chew with the yummy tangy citrus flavor.  The patented controlled delivery system has shown that 60% of the beneficial flora will survive the harsh environment of the stomach acids and travel deep into the intestinal tract.  I feel like this really helps to deliver the probiotics where they are needed most.


The company has crafted this PRO-Kids children's probiotic formula modeled on their most effective Hyperbiotics adult product.  It contains the 4 most proven strains (including B. infantis) to support against the negative effects of today's broad spectrum antibiotics. You can pick up this Hyperbiotics PRO-Kids Kids Probiotic fast online and save time too.

You can find out more about Hyperbiotics and follow them on all your favorite social networks like Facebook and Twitter as well.

I recently had the opportunity to try 5-hour ENERGY® shots and toast in honor of someone special in my life. I also had the task to nominate two friends so they too can honor someone courageous by raising their white bottle pink ribbon 5-hour ENERGY® shot.

I am honoring my aunt who has passed away but she was a wonderful part of my life growing up. She had breast cancer and was successfully treated back in the day. The treatments were difficult but she did what she needed to do.  She was one special lady.  She always had a lot of energy. I wish I had her energy but I don't so I look to good options like 5-hour ENERGY sometimes to help me out. 5-hour ENERGY® products are for adults only.  5-hour ENERGY® shots should not be mixed with alcohol.  It works fast to get your energy level back up there too.

Don't forget to enter the 5-hour ENERGY® sweepstakes for a chance to win tickets, hotel & airfare to an exclusive concert in L.A. featuring A-list stars! More details are to come...don't forget to check back soon too!

I received a cute little Smiley kit with the following goodies:
• 2 white bottle pink ribbon 5-hour ENERGY® shots supporting LBBC in Pink Lemonade flavor
• Smiley360 Sharing Guide
