holiday snail mail.
i suppose there's no better time to start thinking about the upcoming winter holidays than now. as you sit there eating leftover halloween candy, i'm sure you're thinking about who you're going to send holiday cards to, right? no? well, perhaps you should be because right now shutterfly is offering 20% off of all holiday cards. {and, no, i'm not asking you to send out your yearly family update to friends & family before thanksgiving...please, nobody likes an overachiever.}instead, i want you to think about YOUR family's holiday card. is it usually just some random folded card from the nearest discount chain? is it impersonal & filled with some preprinted sentiment? why not jazz things up a little this year? have you ever thought about ordering your holiday cards … [Read more...]
PRODUCT REVIEW – Dove’s Body Wash with Nutrium Moisture
About a month ago I was asked to try a few of Dove's newest body washes. Over the last few years, I've been quite loyal to my body wash brand of choice {a pricier option by a pretty well-known women's skincare & beauty line}, but I was interested in the chance to try something new. As we all know, Dove is a very reputable brand - it's been around for 50 years & it's dermatologist recommended - and it's also very affordable.So, what was so special about these NEW Dove body washes? Imagine my surprise when I read that most all body washes on the market dry out your skin.

Some body washes try to combat this by adding heavy moisturizers; however, the heavy … [Read more...]

Product Review: Drink Wat-Aah!
Not long ago, I was contacted by the fun folks at Wat-Aah! who proposed a challenge to my family -- get my kids to choose water over sodas & other sugar-laden drinks. How could I resist? Well, okay, so I secretly knew that this would be a 'no brainer' for us because we very rarely allow our children to drink sodas & usually they are asking for milk, orange juice or....water. But, I didn't realize how much fun this challenge would be NOR did I anticipate their very positive reaction...Wat-Aah! was created by a mom, Rose Cameron, who wondered why kids preferred drinking anything but water. It was her desire to get kids excited about drinking water & showing them the importance of drinking more water and less sugary drinks in an effort to fight childhood obesity. Between the … [Read more...]
