Certain Dri Anti-Perspirant Review and Giveaway!



Summer time is a great time of year, but being hot and sweaty isn't so great.  I swear since being pregnant I sweat more than usual! Certain Dri gives me the confidence of knowing that I am covered and won't be getting those icky sweat stains!!
I love that Certain Dri is now offered in a solid! I'm not really sure why, but it always seems better to me than the roll on stuff.  I feel like I get better protection from a solid.  

Some facts about the new solid:


  • Created specifically to complete the line of Certain Dri antiperspirant products for those who want the same 72-hour protection from excessive underarm perspiration in a solid application.
  • The product is specially-formulated to provide everyday, all-day dryness for those who suffer from excessive underarm perspiration.
  • Certain Dri® Solid Anti-Perspirant contains 25% aluminum sesquichlorohydrate (Anhydrous). It is the only over-the-counter antiperspirant with this ingredient, which is more effective than the aluminum zirconium formula found in over-the-counter solid antiperspirants that are labeled “clinical strength.” 




 While other over-the-counter antiperspirants claim to be “clinical strength” and “waterproof” the Certain Dri formulations – 12% aluminum chloride and 25% aluminum sesquichlorohydrate -  are the strongest available, providing 72-hours of protection with each application. Retail price is $5.50-$6, almost 40% less than the other clinical strength antiperspirant products.

On 7/14/09, Certain Dri was on the national TV show, Good Morning America in a segment on Sweat. http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=8077794   


For ongoing product and giveaway info, look for Certain Dri on Facebook.

Nailene Nails Review and Giveaway!

Nailene Nails
Getting your nails done when you are a mom isn't always practical or affordable. Even a simple french manicure can cost you $40! So how can you get fabulous looking nails on a Frugal budget?  Nailene Nails! They have a great collection of  full coverage nails, nail decals, and other nail necessities!

I got to try several things from Nailene! Here are some of my favorites!:

The Nail Art Bedazzle nail decals are easy to apply and add cute flair to your nails! I even put some on my little girls nails!  I love them for fingernails or for toenails!

[NaileneFashionista.jpg]
There are many different ones to choose from! The ones on my hands didnt last too long, but on my toenails they lasted about a week, and that was with wearing sandals or open toe shoes the whole week! Even through swimming they lasted, which surprised me!

I also got to try full coverage plain nails you get to do up yourself!


I loved the case and the ease of applying the nails! There were tons of sizes to choose from, so its easy to get a size that fits you perfect! And you can file or cut as needed to make sure they fit right! This set was much easier than nail sets I have tried in the past!

I like the natural look of nails like these:

They were a good length, and just make your hands look nicer!  I love having nails that look nice, and everyone thought they were professionally done!

Nailene also offers some nails that are decorated and super pretty, like these ones:

                    Nail Couture collection

I loved these nails sets as well as the Acrylic Strong top coat to keep your nails beautiful!  It helps lock in color instantly for longer wear!  You can find lots of great Nailene products at a retailer near you! Click here to see where Nailene is sold!!

One of you will win some special goodies from Nailene!! Here is how to enter:

Softlips Review and Giveaway!

If you're looking for an affordable, 100% natural lip care product, Softlips has a product for you! The new Softlips PURE 100% Natural line includes lip glosses, tinted lip balms, lip butter, and a lip polish. The premium products couple 100% natural ingredients with light pleasant flavors and are free from preservatives, phthalates, sulfates, parabens, mineral oil and gluten.




Want some color without going overboard for the beach or those hot summer days, Softlips PURE 100% Natural Lip Gloss and Lip Tint are a perfect choice. Each provides hydrating, natural SPF15 for dry lips with zinc oxide while providing a natural glossy color with shine or sheer tinted color. The lip tint (suggested retail price of $3.99) and lip gloss (suggested retail price of $5.99) are available in three gorgeous shades- (Coral Charm, Natural Honesty, and Shell Pink).

For the nude lip look with a little shine, Softlips PURE 100% Natural Lip Butter is a great option. It goes on silky and leaves lips with a hint of shine while providing hydrating, natural SPF 15 protection with zinc oxide (suggested retail price of $5.99).



Dry, flaky lips are never pretty and often the end result after spending too much time in the sun or pool. Softlips PURE 100% Natural Lip Polish provides natural exfoliation for lips with organic coconut flakes and sugar and moisturizes, leaving lips looking healthy and smooth (suggested retail price of $5.99).


I was lucky enough to get to try all these products out!! There were so many great things about them! I love the lip polish for my chapped lips! Keeps the icky flaky skin off leaving my lips smooth!  I also loved the lip tints for a nice shade to change it up!!  I use the lip butter daily, its  part of my beauty ritual!! 
I love Softlips "Lip Tips"!! Here is my fave:  Nude with a "Tude"


A nude look, if done correctly, can pack as much of a punch as color. Achieve a beautiful nude lip look by taking a few simple steps. Apply your concealer on your lips and cover your lips with a lip liner close to your skin tone. Finish up with Softlips® lip conditioning balm or new Softlips® PURE 100% Natural Lip Butter to help condition lips and give them a soft, smooth look. If you're looking for a little pop, try applying Softlips® tinted lip balms or glosses. Perfect for the finishing touch, Softlips® glosses and tints are infused with natural minerals that add a little extra shimmer.


Softlips® PURE 100% Natural lip care products are available in the Naturals/Organic section at Target stores nationwide. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/Softlips.  You can also purchase them by clicking here!

Conair InfinitiPro Salon Performance Hair Dryer Review

Imagine getting that amazing salon blow out at home...beautiful hair for a fraction of the price!! Conair makes it affordable to own salon quality products for less! The InfinitiPro is a sleek hair dryer with 3 temperature settings, 2 speeds and a cold shot button!! Use the low speed with the cool temperature setting for delicate, thin, or easy to style hair. Use the low speed with the warm temperature for average to thick or treated hair. Use the high speed with the hot temperature for thick, coarse or hard to style hair. The cold shot button is great for curls or to set style in place for any hair type.

I loved using this dryer on my daughters' hair. The cool setting is the perfect temperature for their little heads and we used it right after bed time. I brushed their hair, then dried it, fluffing with my fingers. For a straight look, I used the brush while I dried the hair to make it sleek and straight. Their hair looked extra shiny and smooth! Plus they had a blast when I gave them the “wind in their hair” look by blowing the cold shot in their face. The little one got scared of the dryer at first, but after watching her two older sisters get their hair done, she wanted her turn too!!

Conair offers the following styling advice:

Your best looks begin with a good haircut that's well maintained. Always treat hair right with ssuperior quality shampoos, conditioners and finishing products.

Drying Basics:

1. Shampoo and condition your hair with products of your choice. Rinse thoroughly. Towel dry hair to remove excess moisture. Using the dryer along with your styling brush, start at a lower setting and direct hot air through a section of hair at a time. Move dryer steadily across each section so that the hot air passes through hair. Direct air flow at hair not scalp. Clouds of negatively charged ions will help to reduce static electricity, control frizzy flyaways and contribute to your hair's shine.

2. Keep dryer's intake vents unobstructed and free from hair while drying.

3. To avoid over drying, do not concentrate heat on any one section for any extended length of time. Keep dryer moving as you style.

4. For quick touch ups, between shampoos, damper hair with a mist of water before styling with the dryer.

5. When using your dryer to create curls and waves, dry hair almost completely on a warmer temperature setting, then finish styling with Cold Shot feature to quickly close hair shaft and lock in style.

This dryer is fabulous because its almost maintenance free!! No lubrication needed! For proper operating performance, the dryer must be kept clean. To clean, you simply wait until it's cool (and of course unplugged), and clean dust and lint from air intake openings with a small brush or the brush attachment from a vacuum cleaner. The outer surface should only be cleaned by wiping with a cloth.

The dryer also includes 2 concentrator attachments, perfect for drying the section of hair that you want!! They easily screw on and off, so you are ready to go in seconds! The dryer is lightweight yet a powerful and effective styling tool!!


More Product Details:
Ergonomically designed for ultimate comfort. High performance for salon-quality results. A quiet, but powerful AC motor ensures fast drying time, which means less heat exposure for hair.

Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion Review and Giveaway!


I am a lotion fanatic. Can't get enough of it. I swear everytime I walk into Walmart I buy a bottle! So I was super thrilled when I got the amazing Shielding Lotion from Skin Md Natural

From Skinmdnatural.com:

With Skin MD Natural™
irritants are kept - OUT, moisture - IN, making it
the perfect dry skin care product

A shielding lotion does much more than just treat dry skin – it’s a new kind of skin care product that makes a real difference to all skin types.
Skin MD Natural™ utilizes the finest effective natural ingredients for dry skin treatment along with the latest advances in technology to hydrate and protect the skin.
This is an entirely new concept in skin care requiring a new classification: "Shielding Lotion". A shielding lotion keeps moisture-robbing irritants away from the skin while the proprietary "super" humectants hydrate the skin throughout the day.

When I put the lotion on, I truly felt the layer! Not in a thick way, but it felt like I had something there and my skin loved the moisture!! I love that it can work for face, hand and body!! It truly moisturizes while maintaining the barrier to keep toxins out! A great lotion that is proven to work!

Where can you buy it? Order by clicking here from skinmdnatural.com
