Upgrade Your Armpit Arsenal With Dove® Advanced Care

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

Armpits are one of those body parts that you don’t often talk about. They’re not much of a conversation starter at the dinner table and let’s face it, I find them kind of strange. Some are smooth. Some are hairy. Some look like they came out of the Planet of the Apes movie. To each his own right? Regardless, we all take care of our underarms in one way or another. I find myself shaving every other day because I can’t stand the pricklies. But this leaves my underarms feeling very sensitive and irritated. There has to be something I can do to repair the damage.

Fun Breakfast Time Twists With Target! #PlateFullCoOp #spon

We all know that Breakfast is of the utmost importance in the morning, not only for children but adults too. Everyone needs energy and starting your day with a wholesome meal will keep you focused until lunch time. Even though it may be the most important meal of the day, it’s not always so simple. In our home it can be hectic, rushed, and repetitive during the week. Most parents will agree. There are never enough hours during the day, especially in between getting the children dressed and making sure their lunches are packed before school. With our morning routine in fast motion I sometimes lack creativity when it’s time for Breakfast. Have you every asked yourself what can be done to make it more exciting and less monotonous? I sure have.

Making The Most Of Black Friday Shopping At Target #MyKindOfHoliday

It’s that time of year again. Black Friday shopping has begun, already. This year many retailers have opened their doors early and given shoppers a head start. At this time last year I would typically be struggling to stay awake, still shuffling through my lists, and hitting people’s ankles repetitively with my cart as I browsed each aisle like a walking zombie. Not this year. For the first time I headed straight to Target to begin my shopping and made it out in under the normal 5-7 hours. Yes I calculated this given my experience two years ago! It was a breeze this time around and much less stressful. Target had their ad out ahead of time which made it easy for early birds like myself to get organized.

There are only 17 whole days before Thanksgiving, also known as Turkey Day, is here. Yes I am counting. Why? I love a holiday where I can enjoy my family’s company, count my blessings, and eat to my heart is content without any ounce of guilt! It’s the one day out of the year where everyone comes together to share what they are thankful for and appreciate what we have. While this is something I practice all year around, Thanksgiving is still a special time to spend with the one’s I adore.  After all, it IS tradition in our home to have a big dinner full of tasty homemade dishes that will have everyone snug as a bug on a rug when they leave!  This year I am helping my mom in setting up our family dinner and I am responsible for focusing on decor and details.
