It can be a challenge to find family friendly movies these days. Get ready for a good one coming up this spring though...no worries. We all know the challenges of work and family and Like Arrows hits the target literally. You can find this wonderful movie I was fortunate enough to preview at over 800 theatres in the USA. It is an inspiration to any parent that struggles on a daily basis to maintain the balance and relationship with family and children in this busy world. "Like Arrows" stars Alan Powell ("The Song"), Alex Kendrick ("War Room," "Courageous") and newcomer Micah Lynn Hanson. It was directed by Kevin Peeples.
"Like Arrows"
will debut in movie theaters nationwide for two nights this May.
Charlie and Alice begin to lose relationships with each of their
children as work and realities of everyday life consume their time. "Like Arrows" focuses on the power of a family to shape the next generation as they turn to their faith after all else has failed. Like many families, conflict and rebellion can pop up when least
expected. Charlie and Alice experience this in Like Arrows with the
added challenge of resentment. 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. During the movie, Charlie and Alice
discover the
power of family, and learn that knowing and living by God's word is the
most important key to parenting with purpose over time.
Fathom Events and Collide Media Group partner to present this unique event in U.S. cinemas on Tuesday, May 1 and Thursday, May 3 at 7:00 p.m. local time (both days). Audiences will also experience an exclusive panel discussion featuring Alex and Stephen Kendrick, Dennis and Barbara Rainey, and Bob Lepine after the event.

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. They understand that sometimes we need fast solutions that
keep us looking gorgeous even when time is at a premium. Clairol has a
high-performance range of easy-to-use hair care products that you can
find right online or in the stores for easy shopping. I love that Clairol Clairol Root Touch-Up
has professional-formulas that I can access without the
necessity of a beauty license or any kind of hullabaloo.
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. If you travel for business like me or just have a
hectic
week at home or in the office, this is the easy solution. Clairol Clairol Root Touch-Up
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, put on a bit of Clairol Clairol Root Touch-Up and be on my way to my
clients. Clairol Clairol Root Touch-Up lets me truly extend the life of my hair color. Clairol Clairol Root Touch-Up is easy to use.

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.

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.
