SoCozy Kids Hair Products Now at Target

April 4, 2015 by Samantha 6 Comments

I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Influence Central for SoCozy. I received Target gift cards to facilitate my review and thank me for my participation.

Trips to the salon for kids can be a bit unnerving. With boredom a constant nag, and hair dressers who are better with adults then kids, it is easy to see why this could be stressful for little ones. With this in mind, Cozy Friedman started salons catered toward the younger clientele, children. More recently, Cozy has branched out into a salon quality hair product line geared toward kids. The line is now available at Target stores. These hair products use the finest ingredients that are also gentle for kids and strong enough to address their hair care needs.

We really like the fact that SoCozy is versatile and can grow along with your kids, “Red hair, short hair, pink, curly hair. Being you is SoCozy’s idea of cool. Be you!” SoCozy is So Smart, So Safe, So Easy, So Cool.

#LISTERINE 21-Day Challenge

February 6, 2015 by Samantha 5 Comments

I am a little bit…hyper-vigilant, shall we say, about oral hygiene. We don’t miss our 6 month dentist appointments, we brush three times a day (the boy and I do, the husband is twice- what can I say), and floss daily. We use mouthwash. I bought my son those little dinosaur “picks” that help him floss (you know, they have the floss on the dinosaur’s “mouth” to help kids floss?) My son has mouthwash and a toothbrush at school, and he uses it after lunch. Really. He gets a nebulizer treatment after lunch every day, and he uses mouthwash and brushes his teeth both for hygiene and to keep his teeth from getting soft from the treatments.

I might have a problem.

Well, as problems go, it’s not the worst one to have, right? So, when we were asked to take the Listerine 21 Day Challenge, I said yes- and I’m taking it as just that, a challenge. Will it do anything to improve our current regime? I don’ t know. We start Monday, so I will let you know.

Winter Skin Care

January 12, 2015 by Samantha 8 Comments

With the weather this season doing a number on skin, leaving it dry, chapped, burned, and in general feeling terrible, here are some great products to try out that can help ease winter’s woes.

Hyaluronic Shea Mask ($15)

The mask feels like a lotion going on, and after the recommended 15-20 minutes drying time, is still wet. It is pretty much entirely clear at that time, and feels gel-like. It wipes off with warm water and a washcloth. Formulated with the moisture-binding hyaluronic acid, this deep conditioning mask prevents water loss, dryness and roughness, providing intensive, long-lasting hydration. A rejuvenating blend of soothing oils and botanical extracts deeply nourish dry, damaged and mature skin, while improving elasticity.

Phyto-Nutrient Cleansing Gel ($24)

Featuring phytonutrient mirco-bubbles, this lightweight foaming gel removes makeup and surface impurities, while maintaining the skin’s natural, essential moisture balance and improving hydration, tone and texture. The Phyto-Nutrient Cleansing Gel also features brown, green and red algae extracts that smooth and nourish skin.

Beauty From The Inside Out

December 30, 2014 by Samantha 2 Comments

As we end 2014 and head into 2015, many of us are thinking of how to do even better in 2015. We often think of how to make more money, how to be happier, how to lose more weight and be healthier, and how to look our best and healthiest. Beauty often starts on the inside, and if you want the best skin, hair, and nails, you want them to be healthy, shiny, and strong. This isn’t as hard as you might think- swapping vitamins (or start taking them) and adding a supplement, or changing your hair care products can make a world of difference. Check out these awesome products and see if you don’t want to trey them out right away. (The gummies/chews are also great tasting, so, bonus.)

Optimal Solution’s Hair, Skin and Nails provide extra strength support for lustrous hair, vibrant skin and strong nails. The softgels feature 5,000 mcg of Biotin, an important B Vitamin that supports skin and hair health, and helps promote healthy nail growth by acting at the base of the nail (the nail matrix), where nail growth begins.

Jan Marini Holiday Skin Exfoliators

December 19, 2014 by Samantha 2 Comments

This holiday season, get skincare into the spirit – add a little sugar and spice with Jan Marini Skin Research’s (JMSR) limited edition Holiday Exfoliator in Cranberry Orange and Sugar Cookie. This exfoliant is softer then most are, it doesn’t have the “scratchy-ness” that many of them do. The scent is not at all overpowering- in fact, there is little smell until you are in the shower, actually using it. It’s sort of s strange consistency- my son called it “peanut butter”, but it worked well and had a great aroma that lingered on the skin for quite a while.

This uniquely designed scrub eliminates harsh abrasives to gently and safely scrub and resurface the skin. The popular, clinical-strength resurfacer that immediately refines texture, leaving skin with a radiant, polished glow has two new scents for the season.

I absolutely love finding great companies that have wonderful products. I must admit that when I first saw Waffles & Honey, I was in awe and had to look at a huge part of their website before I could do anything else. I was so excited to try out the Whitwell Earrings in Chalcedony.

About Waffles & Honey:

Waffles and Honey Jewelry was founded by designer Karina Harris and named after her beloved childhood pets. It was created in the Fall of 2013 after Karina’s passion for collecting and designing jewelry grew into a small business.

Her passion began when the San Francisco native first stepped into her local bead store. In her late teens, she then went to explore South America, Africa, and Asia, where she was inspired by the textiles, jewelry and designs she discovered there.

Waffles & Honey Jewelry has become a reflection of Karina’s travels, and the confident, eclectic women who inspire her. Each of the stones and quality metal in the jewelry have been hand selected.
