Proactiv Plus Review

December 15, 2014 by Samantha 7 Comments

Disclosure- I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Influence-Central for Proacitv+. I received samples of Proactiv+ to facilitate my review and a thank you item for participating.

I have had acne to some degree for most of my life. I have tried most things to get rid of it, but try as I might, it keeps rearing it’s ugly head. For me personally, it was at it’s worse when I was a tween, then again when I was pregnant, and now with these medications that I am on. However, I always get it with “that time” of the month, and always have. Luckily for me, they are not those horrible, scarring, giant boil-like acne- but I still hate it! I am a grown woman, shouldn’t I have left acne behind me with braces and training bras?

Most of my acne are whiteheads or blackheads. Fun-fun. It makes me feel ugly, gross. Who wants people to see you like that? I know people are looking at THEM, not at me. It’s a feeling I really dislike.

During my break out- it’s not giant, but those whiteheads are all over, especially my nose and hairline. Hate it! (photos taken with my smartphone in the bathroom mirror)

Disclosure: The nail polishes from Piggy Paint mentioned below was provided for me in order to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own and honest. I am disclosing this in accordance to FTC Guidelines. Please see “Disclose” tab for more information.

My girls absolutely love to have their finger nails painted. I don’t mind painting there nails, especially because they really love it. I do however not really feel comfortable using nail polishes on them that have a great deal of chemicals in them. I was very impressed when I came across Piggy Paint.

About Piggy Paint:

Melanie Hurley is the Founder of Piggy Paint. She always hated the thought of her children putting their hands in their mouths after she painted their nails with traditional kid polishes. The ingestion of chemicals worried her as well as the smell of painting all those nails. One day they were painting nails and her daughter dropped some paint onto a foam plate. The polish quickly bubbled up and then ate through the plate.

Most of you probably know by now that I absolutely love bows and headbands for my girls. They love to wear them and are very picky about which ones to wear with what outfits. I was so happy to receive a few new awesome bows and a headband to add to my collection from Via Cacao.

Aveda Naturally Straight Hair Supplies

September 26, 2014 by Samantha 5 Comments

Disclosure- I received complimentary product from SheSpeaks/Aveda but all opinions are my own.

Hair can be a bit of a shot in the dark this time of year. With rainy days, followed by cold days, then humid hot days, your hair is at a loss, mostly due to frizz out. Normally reaching out far the stars is a good thing, but with hair not so much. Ideally we want hair that stays where we put it. One such way to do this is with hair straighteners. Hair straighteners take frizzy, curly, or wavy hair and make it straight. This is particularly helpful for people with these kinds of hair but also helps ease the frizz due to weather and other odd occurrences.

Other hair straightening processes are just that a processes, which takes time, energy and money. One of the great aspects of Aveda Smooth Infusion Naturally Straight, is its ease of use.
