Lenny and Larry's The Complete Cookie keeps it healthy and yummy plus a #discount and #promocode #TeamLL #sponsored @Lennyandlarrys

I work hard to keep my diet healthy and to make fitness a priority. It can be a challenge but I think about my long term health and that keeps me on track. I think about my mom who is going to be 83--she looks like she is 60. She has exercised and ate healthy her whole life and that makes a real difference. One of the tricks I have found is to not deprive myself but find treats and snacks that make it easy to be healthy but feel rewarded. Lenny and Larry make it easy with their Complete Cookie. There are so many varieties and they all taste delicious. The Complete Cookie is filled with protein...each cookie has 16 grams of protein. There are no artificial sweeteners and each high protein cookie is even vegan. Baked Nutrition is what sets Lenny & Larry's apart from other snacks and cookies. I discovered them a while ago and decided I liked them so much I wanted to partner with them as a brand ambassador.

From the very beginning Lenny and Larry's has been committed to making the tastiest source of protein possible. They realized early on that nothing compared to eating something that was freshly baked. In addition to the fresh baked taste, all their products have a variety of other benefits. They are super versatile too, you can eat them on their own or make a healthy ice cream/fro-yo Complete Cookie sandwich or crumble them up on Greek for a delicious high protein snack. Ready for some real data? Each Complete Cookie has: 16 grams of clean vegetable based protein 8 grams of fiber Vegan Kosher Non-GMO No Soy No Cholesterol No Trans Fat No Sugar Alcohols No High Fructose Corn Syrup No Artificial Sweeteners Are you ready to try these delicious healthy cookies?

Beauty Box 5 September Staff Picks keeps it fun in the fall @beautybox5 #sponsored #purlisseperfect #beabombshellcosmetics @simpleskincare #MakeUp4Makeup #happybrands #gosmile

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 and even a savvy fashionista Gramma to sample new cosmetic products and see what works for you. Good skin care and the joy of beauty has no age limit!  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 September Staff Picks box this week.  The September theme is all all about taking some good advice from the beauty pros. In between apple picking and pumpkin patches, squeeze in just a little touch of pampering for your skin and hair. 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 month's sweet sea blue 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 Happy Brands Happy Hair Turban. If you are short on time like I always am, this is an ideal way to twist your hair, loop it up and get it dry in a snap. This ultra soft towel is very gentle on my hair and dries it quickly. I can apply my makeup and my hair dries at the same time. It keeps my hair out of my way too, so I can apply my makeup faster. I find that it takes less time to blow out and style because the towel absorbs so much water so quickly. One advantage is that since I don't have to use hot tools as much, it is less frizzy and I find there is less breakage.  Retail $18.00

While you have your hair out of the way in your turban, you can use these Simple Skincare Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes. These wipes are super soft and work really quickly to remove all the makeup on my skin from mascara, to CC cream to lipstick. They wipes are very gentle even around my eyes. I appreciate that these wipes leave my skin feeling comfortable and moisturized. My tween tried them and really liked them too. These are a cinch to use too, they are ready to go no water needed either. That means they are good for on the go, traveling and tucking in your purse for makeup emergencies. Just gently wipe the face and neck areas and watch the makeup melt right off.  Retail: $5.99

We all need to use a full spectrum SPF moisturizer like this every single day even if you are going sans makeup. This is not an indulgence, it is essential to protect the skin. Everyone needs Blue Lotus Essential Daily Moisturizer SPF 30. Lovely ingredients like White Tea, Soy Proteins and Algae Extract calm and hydrate skin while improving texture. This is a very gentle formula too and it is safe for even the most sensitive complexions. It is lightweight and color neutral as well so it is ideal to use under your favorite BB, CC or foundation. I received a great travel size version so it is perfect to tuck in my purse for touch ups during the day when I need more moisture. Retail $55

  

It happens to all of us, that shiny skin. Be A Bombshell Smooth Criminal HD Finishing Powder can save the day when you need to mattify the skin. It is terrific because this is ideal for all skin types and the color is totally neutral. This translucent powder can be used in several ways. You can even out a complexion or just use it for quick touch ups to shiny skin on the forehead, nose or chin. I love that it is super light and adds no color. It feels really comfortable on my skin. My teen tester also liked it and gave it the thumbs up. A little goes a long way so get a little brush out and dip, tap to remove excess and leave your skin ready for the day.  Retail $7.00.

I don't know about you but I am a freak about white teeth. Go Smile Teeth Whitening Gel is an easy way to keep teeth fresh and white on a regular basis.  Lipstick colors and trends vary each season but white teeth are always in so check this one out. I like that this is a fast and simple way to keep my teeth white, no additional time or equipment needed. All you need to do is apply equal amounts of your favorite toothpast and this handy gel to your dry toothbrush and brush for two minutes, twice a day. White teeth are in your mirror this fall with no extra work. Retail $29.00

Tide Brights + Whites Rescue™ In-Wash laundry booster @crowdtap

I like my clothes to come out of the wash really clean. In the past, they were clean, but not always as bright or white as I would have liked. I was excited to have the opportunity to try out a new product from Tide that works in tandem with your detergent to get clothes brighter and whiter. What an amazing concept and I am not surprised that it was conceived by Tide either. Tide has always been on the cutting edge with liquid detergents and then pods and now this specialized brightener and whitening agent.

Tide Brights + Whites Rescue™ In-Wash laundry booster  is a revolutionary way to refresh bright colors and get whites super clean again. Why is it always that favorite shirt or those gorgeous bright blue shorts that end up looking dingy and dull after only a few washes?  It happens to all of us...I still remember those blue shorts from last year. I wish that I had Tide Brights + Whites Rescue™ In-Wash laundry booster  because I could have saved them and given them a second life. Now that I know about Tide Brights + Whites Rescue™ and its ability to brighten dingy fabrics by up to 3 shades I will never do that again. I saw the difference really quickly and was kind of wowed.

I was impressed with how well Tide Brights + Whites Rescue™ In-Wash laundry booster worked for my brights and whites. I used to have to use several different products that I used to try and get the best results but this is easier and more effective! It is a cinch to use and my husband's white tee shirts came out of the wash looking bright and clean. The striped bed sheets came out looking brighter and more vibrant. The big win was all his Ultimate Frisbee clothes that were so dingy and dirty from those grass fields...holy smoke they really look bright and clean. Even his white socks look white again. This is after one washload. I am definitely buying Tide Brights + Whites Rescue™ In-Wash laundry booster when I go shopping on Saturday!

Curél® Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer keeps my skin soft and beautiful @crowdtap #sponsored

Curél® Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer is an amazing innovation in creams. I really like this moisturizer because it works so much more effectively and it saves me time after my shower.  Curél® Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer is super easy to use after my shower.  It totally leaves my skin soft and smell is amazing. It moisturizes my skin so well. It is so effective because you apply it to your skin when it is wet, like after washing your hands or getting out of the shower. I just towel dry gently and it just locks the moisture right in.  You can feel the difference for yourself.

My skin can be really dry all throughout the year but it gets worse in the fall and winter. This can be really uncomfortable and even embarrassing.  Curél® Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer gives me an easy way to eliminate dry skin without adding an extra step to my beauty routine. As a busy, working mom I really appreciate that. It saves me time! A little goes a long way too. I keep it in my shower and when I am just about done, I gently rub it all over my damp skin. I gently towel off and get dressed. I can immediately see how my skin glows and has a fresh, healthy appearance.  Curél® Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer makes a big difference and so quickly. My skin looks so much more radiant now even though it is getting into fall. Normally, my skin is becoming drier so I am thrilled about this improvement. The best thing is the comfortable feeling seems to last all day too.
