Spring Skin Renewal with Repechage!

My skin has had a rough winter, and it is ready to come out of it's shell! I loved trying out Repechage's Hydra Refine!   I was looking for a great oily skin treatment and was excited to find the Hydra Refine! It goes on great before my shower and leaves my face clear, clean and refreshed! It feels amazing and it really smells great! I love the combination of the ingredients!

Professional skin care does come at a price. This tubes costs $31 but it has lasted me a long time, especially since it's not something I use daily. Since my skin tends to get sensitive, I usually only use the mask 2-3 times a week as needed for oil control. The kids think it's pretty funny to see it on me!  I love the way it feels when it's all done-my skin is smooth and feels so CLEAN!   The day wreaks havoc on my skin, so it feels amazing to slough it all away and start fresh!

Product Description:

Hydra Refine^® redefines oily skin care with a line of five products that balance your skin’s pH, controlling the production of oil while maintaining facial moisture.  If you’re wondering how it’s possible to fight oil while keeping skin moisturized, the answer lies in the four main ingredients that define Hydra Refine^®: Laminaria Saccharina Seaweed, Lemongrass, Farnesol (Lily of the Valley),and Cucumber

Using this product at home saves money by skipping costly facial treatments.  It is fun to do beauty treatments with your girl friends, daughters or even as a way to relax at the end of the day!  Keeping your skin clear and fresh is really important if you want to keep it youthful.  Taking care of your skin even in your younger years is the best way to maintain a healthy youthful look.  Repechage is a great company that offers amazing products to help you look your best longer!  I love their selection of beauty products! There is skin care products for all ages, to help maintain or improve your skin! Beauty is what you make it, and using Repechage to make it beautiful is a great choice!

Temple Touch Thermometer Review & Giveaway

No matter what age your child is, every mom needs a good thermometer for those sick days.  Knowing how high a bad fever is could be crucial if your child is sick.  Getting your child to sit still to take their temperature is really difficult at times.  Using a Temple Touch thermometer is quick, easy and accurate! You get it over with and have peace of mind that you know what your child's temperature is!

I got to try the Temple Touch Mini! This unique thermometer is small enough to carry in your bag, yet powerful enough to accurately take your child's temperature in 6 seconds-even if your child is asleep! Simply turn the thermometer on, wait for the second beep and gently place on your child's temple until it beeps a third time! You have an accurate temperature and your child can continue to rest peacefully!

I love that the digital screen is easy to read! The Temple Touch Premium is really great-it has a light up screen! This makes it even easier to take your child's temperature without disturbing them! I have seen other digital thermometers cost $50 or more!!  The Temple Touch Premium is only $29.99, and the Mini version is only $12.99!! This is a great way to save money on a great product, without having to sacrifice quality.

Aurora's "Are We There Yet?" Collection Review & Giveaway!

If you've never taken a road trip, you really should! It's so much fun to drive to a destination and see the scenery along the way! Flying may be easier, buy I love a good road trip! With kids, it isn't always easy. But with fun accessories and a plan, you can make it through with your family and have fun along the way! I recently found some really great stuff for kids from the Aurora "Are We There Yet?" Collection! This new collection of travel accessories for kids make traveling with the littles a whole lot easier!

Aurora Id Tags-Only $6 EACH!!

 I seriously love this collection! These Id tags are mega cute!!  They are great for travel, whether it's across the mountains or across the world! Easy to see and super adorable, these tags will work for boys and girls!  What I really love is the neck rests! Aurora's popular monkey character Cheeky Charlie is a snuggly neck rest for long car rides! My daughters have a tendency to fall asleep if we are in the car more than 20 minutes, so this is great to help with their necks in the car! I hate to see their little heads flopped over the the side.  The neck rests are so adorable and very soft!!

Cheeky Charlie Neck Rest! $13

They also sent me a cute little By My Side Leads Panda!  Which is great because my middle one LOVES Pandas ever since we went to the zoo!  I'm not really a fan of these, because I don't like that they are on a leash. My kids are not dogs. But my daughter really likes it. And her and the youngest think that they ARE dogs so they get to play with a safe leash and pretend to be dogs.  So it works great for them! But I do know that with toddlers it can be hard to keep them close by at times, especially when you are traveling.  This allows your child to run freely but still be close to your side.  It is really cute and the kids love it!

BY MY SIDE LEADS - PANDA-$17

Boiron Oscillococcinum Review & Giveaway!

As a mom, I am really careful of what I give to my kids, especially any type of medicine. I want to be sure that they are safe and that they will help my little one to feel better.  I started using homeopathic medicines with my oldest daughter when she started teething.  I found that using a combo of the homeopathic teething tablets, Orajel and Tylenol gave my daughter relief from breaking in her teeth.  (It gave me relief from all the crying!) I realized that homeopathic medicines are great alternatives to other medicines and have used other homeopathic medicines since.

Recently I have used the Boiron family of homeopathic medicines. My favorite is the oscillococcinum.  It is a really wonderful medicine that helps to fight against the symptoms of the flu and get you back to your regular self in no time! I am a true believer in this, because it worked amazingly for my 2 year old daughter.  She woke up around 5 a.m. in a heavy sweat, and had odd breathing. When we took her to the doctor, they did everything they could to bring her 103 temperature down to a normal one.  Nothing worked-she didn't want the medicine, popsicles or juice that she was given.  She was getting dehydrated, which made her even more irritable and feverish.  I was really scared.

Finally after we got it down a bit, the doctor let us go home.  Her fever spiked again, and that's when I decided to try the Oscillo.  I gave her the little tube and let her take it herself. Within 20-30 minutes her fever was normal and she was running around, playing and having fun.  I couldn't believe that the medicine actually got her up and going! After spending the whole day worrying about her safety, she was finally okay.  I gave her the rest of the doses, and she didn't have another problem with it. The next day the doctor was even impressed with her improvement! She went from being a baby on her way to the hospital to a healthy happy baby!

Oscillococcinum (“Oscillo” for short) works best when taken at the first sign of flu-like symptoms such as fatigue, body aches, chills and fever. It has been shown in clinical studies to help reduce both the duration and the severity of flu-like symptoms. Oscillo’s sweet-tasting, melt-away pellets are safe for everyone two years of age and older, and no water, chewing or swallowing is required. Oscillo works safely and naturally without causing side effects, including drowsiness. There’s also no risk of overdose and no interactions with other medications

Sniffle Buddies Review & Giveaway!

Seems like at any given time of year one of the kids can have the sniffles. Whether its allergies or a cold, having the sniffles can be a drag.  Nothing is worse than having to chase after a child with a tissue, or seeing your child's sleeves with dried up boogers on it. Let's be honest-if your child is playing, she isn't going to stop to blow her nose all the time. She will probably wipe it on the nearest soft thing-her shirt.  Save the shirt with Sniffle Buddies!!

Product Description:
Sniffle Buddies are super-soft, eco-friendly wristbands that were invented by a Mom to assist her allergy-prone son when he was a toddler.  They're now used in the Speical Needs and Sporting Goods world to help out during hand-free moments in life.  Take one along on your next ski trip and "give your glove a break" or check out the "Top 10 Newest Products for Special Needs Children" testing review at www.ableplay.org .  Sniffle Buddies are hand assembled in the USA form 70% Organic Bamboo / 28% Organic Cotton / 2% poly.  The fabric covers USA made elastic and is secured by USA made velcro.  They're washable, durable, easy to use, handy, award winning, and available in up to 11 colors in sizes that fit toddlers to adults.

 I have been thinking my youngest daughter might have allergies.  So I was really excited to try out this product! This fits great on her wrist and is easy for her to use while she is playing!  She is able to wipe the little bit and keep going. Best of all she isn't getting her nose irritated from using a tissue constantly.  The Sniffle Buddies are super soft and I couldn't think of a better material than the bamboo they use! I love the Sniffle Buddies and I'm glad that I found them!


You can buy your Sniffle Buddies now!!
(S) Toddler's bare wrist - $7.99
(M) Adult bare wrist / Child Over the Coat - $8.99
(L) Adult Over the Coat - $9.99

**NOTE** Sniffle Buddies are NOT offered as a replacement for proper tissue use, NEVER for blowing your nose into, and intended for OUTDOOR playtime use unless they're being utilized by a special needs individual - then indoor/outdoor for light drool.
