Split ends are one of the most common hair care issues that many woman have. No matter how healthy your hair is or how many miracle products you invest in, everyone has suffered from this dreadful enemy. I have spent the past year doing everything I can to improve the appearance and overall quality of my hair. This includes reducing the heat on my blow dryer,  taking vitamins, using protective sprays, passing up the daily use of my favorite straightener, and even sticking to a dark hair style so I could grow out the bleach from previous highlighting. 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.

Back To School With Harvest Snaps + GIVEAWAY #HarvestSnapsFan

This post was created in partnership with Harvest Snaps. I have been compensated for this post. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

It’s back to school time and in the midst of the chaos we can easily get caught up in the repetitive preparation of packing the same old snacks and lunches. I don’t know about your children but mine has made it clear that she isn’t bursting at the seams in excitement when she finds a turkey sandwich in her lunchbox. Not to mention she has stopped eating the peanut butter pretzels and cheese cubes I have bored her with all Summer. Let’s face it, the same lunches can get a bit boring and bland day after day. It’s time to bring adventure, anticipation, flavor, and surprise to the lunchbox with Harvest Snaps!

Progresso Homemade Quality Chili #ProgressoChili

Disclosure: The information and prize pack have been provided by General Mills through Platefull Co-Op.

This past week we have been trying to make meal time as simple as possible. It’s Back To School season and things are still rather hectic as we get used to our new schedule. Lately we have had a hankering for homemade quality chili but not enough time to prepare it. The new Progresso™ Chili offers a unique twist on classic chili flavors and takes the time out of preparing my usual homemade chili in the crock pot. This only takes about 5 1/2 minutes to make and it tastes just as good. It also comes in a convenient pouch package that is clear at the bottom. The packaging helps maintain the freshness and flavor and allows you to see the ingredients and quality for yourself.

Head & Shoulders… Knees + DANDRUFF!? #PartOfOurFamily

My hair has its good day and it has its bad days. Then it has those days where I look in the mirror and think to myself, “Is this REALLY what I have to work with right now?” I’ve been coloring, cutting, and altering my hair for over 10 years. You can imagine the stress my little hair follicles have been under! Sometimes they scream for a little extra TLC and if they don’t get it I can expect to have quite a few horrific hair days ahead of me.

Take Fiber On The Go With New Fiber One Snacks #FiberOneSnacks

Disclosure: The information and prize pack have been provided by General Mills through Platefull Co-Op.

Fiber One™ has always done a pretty good job of simplifying the art of snacking. I used to live off of their Oats & Chocolate chewy bars because of how convenient and delicious they are. I still continue to try anything they come out with including the new soft-baked Cookies! Found in the cookie aisle of the grocery store, these individually wrapped treats are great for on-the-go portion control. Each cookie has 5 grams of fiber per serving. That’s 20% of the daily value! Fiber One Cookies are a delightfully soft and chewy cookie that you can feel good about. You no longer have to avoid the cookies aisle because these are not a guilty pleasure.

Back To School With Kidecals Durable Labels + Mega Set GIVEAWAY!

Disclosure: I received custom Kidecals in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I took a deep breath this morning and accepted that my not so little Toodie is in Kindergarten. The past month has been filled with back to school shopping, a new hair cut, picking out uniforms, and making sure she was prepared for her big first day. I also knew we had to have a generous supply of durable labels personalized with her name. I learned this two years ago when Toodie started attending day care and then VPK. If you don’t want it lost, used by someone else, or taken home by another student- LABEL IT! I couldn’t tell you the exact number of jackets we went through the first year and it’s 100% my fault because I wasn’t in with the “label crowd.” Take my word for it, labeling your child’s things will make your life much easier.

Obtain A #FlawlessFinish With Sheer Cover Studio Makeup

Disclosure: I received the products mentioned for review purposes. I am not being compensated and all opinions are my own.

When it comes to my makeup routine I find products I love, stick to them, and eventually that thing called a routine becomes second nature. I have been switching back and forth from liquid foundation to powder for the past 6 years or so. But if there is one formula I have never grown to love it’s mineral. While it’s much lighter than your typical foundation, I have never found one that doesn’t make me look older than I actually am. Most tend to accentuate your fine lines, dry areas, and make your complexion dull. At least that is the experience I have had in the past and I have tried several brands from high end to drugstore. I really do want to fall in love with mineral foundation because using liquid can be a bit time consuming. I am just waiting for one to sweep me off my feet!

Disclosure: The information and prize pack have been provided by General Mills through Platefull Co-Op.

It’s Back to School season and in a few days my little girl will be starting her first day of Kindergarten! Insert nervous – over emotional – worried momma emotions here. For those of you with children heading to school soon Cheerios and the Florida Department of Citrus want to make sure you’re preparing them for their big day with a nutritious and energizing breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and for our children it’s basically brain food. When I was younger breakfast meant a big bowl of Cheerios, a tall glass of cold OJ, and a slice of buttered toast. I was always a picky morning eater but if there is one thing I would never turn down it was a bowl of cereal. To this day I am a full-fledged Cheerio eater.

NEW Neutrogena® Rapid Wrinkle Repair Review #RapidResults

Disclosure: I was provided with the following products as a part of the Vogue Influencer community.

Taking care of my skin has always been very important to me. Now, more than ever, I have been paying a lot of attention to the products I am using and what they have to offer. I may only be in my late 20’s but my mother always taught me that it is never too soon to take care of your skin. Aging doesn’t happen over night and even though we may not be able to stop it there are products to help stall the process! In the past year I have noticed a ton of changes in my skin. I don’t get the quality of sleep I used to which has resulted in dark circles, fine lines, and dull skin. I am always ready and willing to try products that will put a dent in these issues and with the Neutrogena® Rapid Wrinkle Repair my skin has slowly came back to life.
