OK ladies, this post is for you. You know that it is inevitable, that dreaded time of the month! It can be a hard time to be a woman but that doesn’t mean that we have to let it get us down. As a busy mom, I can’t let my period put my life on hold. I have a blog to run and a very active toddler to take care of. That is why I always have a period preparedness kit on standby.

Top 5 Shaving Cream Alternatives

I was in the shower the other day and I needed to shave my legs. I looked around and there wasn’t any shaving cream in my shower. How could this happen!? I looked around to see what else I could use so I grabbed the conditioner and it worked, even better then my shaving cream! This got me to thinking about other shaving cream alternatives and how they would make great frugal beauty tips.

With vacations coming up and the pools starting to open, I thought it would be a good time to talk about sunscreen. As you know, I’m a natural Ginger which means I am super pale! I know my sunscreen. I have to use a ton of it during the spring and summer months. Now that I have a daughter, I have been doing some research on the best drugstore sunblock for babies and kids.

Doing some research online, with Consumer Reports, by asking my doctor, and just my personal opinion, I have come up with a list of some of the best sunblock you can get for your kids from the drugstores. I prefer to get my sunblock from the drugstore because it is convenient and less expensive then purchasing online or from specialty stores. I want something that is going to be safe on my baby’s skin but is also effective in protecting her from the sun.

Get Clean and Smooth Hands with Dial Sugar Cane Husk Scrub Hand Soap #Giveaway

March 26, 2015 by hewella1 24 Comments

Disclosure: “Dial provided me with a sample of Dial Sugar Cane Husk Scrub hand soap in exchange for a product review. All opinions are my own.”

As a Purex Insider, I was able to try out the new Dial Sugar Cane Husk Scrub hand soap for myself. This was just released in February 2015 as part of Dial’s new luxury Boutique Collection that includes three other pretty and yummy scents. The soaps help moisturize your skin as well as get your hands squeaky clean. I was excited to put this new soap to the test.

With it being Spring time now (yay!!) I am starting to get my garden ready and it gets my hands really dirty, even though I wear my gardening gloves all the time. I loved using this soap when I was ready to clean up. It has tiny micro-scrubbers to really help get your hands clean and exfoliate your skin at the same time. Not only did my hands get clean but my skin actually felt soft and smooth after each use. You can definitely feel the micro-scrubbers working but they feel gentle and not harsh on my skin.

Daddy’s Health & Skincare Review and Giveaway

July 24, 2014 by hewella1 5 Comments

I have worked with Daddy& Co. on several reviews and I am always impressed with their products. They have a brand new Daddy’s Health & Skincare line on their site. These items aren’t just for Daddy’s, they are for Mom and baby too! I had to give them a try with my little helper.

The new Daddy’s Health & Skincare line includes Baby lotion, Baby bubble bath, and Baby shampoo & body wash. They come in 8 oz. bottles for $12.95. The bottles are a nice size and a little goes a long way. They come in two different scents: calming lavender and fragrance free. I will give anything a try that will get her calm before bedtime, so I chose to review the calming lavender.
