5 Must Have Hair Products For Kids + Earn Rewards With Suave Family Perks

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

I have a confession. I strongly dislike HATE doing my daughter’s hair. I try, I really do… but I’m just not very good at it. You would think after spending many years doing my own hair I would have somehow mastered the common pony tail and maybe even a braid here and there. When I found out I was having a little girl I couldn’t wait for the frilly dresses, embellished shoes, and adorable hairstyles with coordinating accessories. Well here we are five years later and the adorable hairstyle fantasy just isn’t happening. I am lucky if I get a comb through it without a loud scream of terror.

No matter how healthy your hair is or how many miracle products you invest in, everyone has suffered from this dreadful enemy.

The condition of my hair has improved drastically but there are times that those annoying split ends need a little TLC and Suave Professionals Split End Rescue duo does just that.

Tomorrow night the anticipated 2014 MTV Video Music Awards are being held in Inglewood, California. It’s hard to believe that this will be their 31st annual show. I have been watching the VMA’s since I was in middle school and always look forward to the performances. This year artists like Beyoncé, Eminem, Katy Perry, and Miley Cyrus will be facing off for a “moonman” to call their own. I really enjoy watching the pre-show. This is the first time you get to see all of the stars walk the red carpet with their beautiful dresses, flawless makeup, and rockin’ hair. I’m no celebrity but TRESemmé has all of the products needed to amp up my hair and make me feel like a star!

Back To School Safety With Master Lock #MasterBackToSchool

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

As parents many of us have already started with back to school preparations whether it’s buying supplies or picking out uniforms. Keeping your child’s belongings safe is just as important as making sure they are prepared for the new school year. When surveyed nearly half of parents have admitted that their child has had an item stolen from them at school, cell phones being the most valuable. Since students would rather keep their things safe and on them at all times they opt out of using lockers even though they provide convenience. These days it’s vital that our children feel confident that their belonging are protected because the majority are carrying around expensive devices like laptops, cell phones, ipads, and even mp3 players.

Dont Wait For The Truck: Cool Off This Summer With An #IceCreamRun!

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

Am I the only one that thinks this Summer went by way too fast? Seriously, what the heck happened to the last couple of months! I think I am going to blame it on the heat and humidity, seems like a valid argument. It’s so hard to focus on anything else when it’s hot as the Sahara desert here. Every time I pick the munchkin up from school she is sweaty, sticky, and craving something cold. We learned a long time ago that waiting around for the ice cream truck to make an appearance in our neighborhood could take days, weeks, maybe even months. It’s like a magical unicorn. You know it exists but you never see it. “Ain’t nobody got time for that!” We would rather make an ice cream run around the corner to our local Walgreens

At one point in our lives we have all thought we could be a singer. Whether it’s driving to work, in the shower, or folding laundry – I am more than guilty of belting out a not so pleasant rendition of my favorite song. While it’s nice to pretend that I have the voice of an angel, I know that in reality I could kill a bird with my high pitched notes. Even though singing isn’t my forte I still enjoy watching others showcase their talent. In a few months the 7th season of The Voice will begin and I cannot wait to see the performances.

This Summer Do More + Score BIG With Degree At Walgreens

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

When I was growing up sports were always a huge part of my life. My grandfather used to take me to all of the Florida Marlin’s baseball games and to this day we remain Dolphin’s season ticket holders. While I spent many years cheering from the sidelines at the the baseball and football games, I soon developed a passion for soccer as I entered high school. Kicking the ball around, being part of an organized team, and having the wind blow in your hair as you dashed to score a goal was beyond exciting. To this day I regret not trying out for the soccer team. Instead I moved my focus to cheerleading which was an interest that quickly faded away!

A SIMPLE Solution To Skin Care + Special Offer At Walgreens

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

Sensitive skin is an issue I am far too familiar with. I have always had a decent complexion, clear most of the time with an occasional stress induced breakout. But in time all good things must come to an end! Once I had Toodie I noticed a huge difference in my skin and how sensitive it became to the products I had been using years prior. Sure pregnancy gives you that natural “glow” that others rave about but after all that goes away your skin has to adjust back to normalcy. My usual routine was leaving my skin irritated and angry. I had the red splotchy spots, patches of bumpies, and dry areas that weren’t very flattering at the end of the day. I needed a miracle and after stumbling upon a Simple® Skincare display at Walgreens I had the answers and solutions I was looking for.

Walgreens + AXE Team Up For An X-Men Movie Ticket GIVEAWAY!

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

I have always considered myself a movie buff but a junkie would probably be more of a precise description. I adore going to the movies. Whether it’s horror, comedy, or action I am no stranger to the movie theater around the corner. Over the years my taste in movies has changed drastically. What was once a love for the cheesy romantic stories has now developed into a passion for super heroes. Around the 90’s, the elementary school days, I used to spend my afternoons watching the X-Men television series. I was mesmerized by the heroes, villains, mutants, and the unbelievably cool powers they possesed. To this day I am still a fan of Wolverine and Jean Grey. I don’t know if it’s their rather interesting romantic relationship or that they both have a mysterious dark side. Something has always drawn me to them both!
