Olay Whips with SPF : My New Go-To Moisturizer

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Olay. The opinions and text are all mine. SPF – that important thing you always hear about but don’t always incorporate into your routine. I’ll admit, I’m completely guilty of this. As I’m getting older though (I turned 36 a couple months ago) I’m hearing more and more of things I could have done to prevent some of my skin issues and SPF is mentioned All. The. Time. Why do I skip it? It’s not on purpose. I’m not a morning person and I just genuinely forget to apply it.  I cleanse my skin, exfoliate every couple of days, moisturize and do my makeup and then run out the door. I miss the part about applying SPF with my moisturizer. Part of me also thinks “Well, I’m indoors almost all day, it’s okay to skip!” No it’s not. While…

Drugstore Favorites I Keep Going Back For

Disclosure: Post sponsored by Mirum Shopper but all opinions are my own. Let’s be real, sometimes the flashy packaging and pretty additions (gold flakes anyone?) to high end skin care brands pull us in and dazzle us. But they aren’t always in our budget, and they don’t always work.  I get sucked into it a lot. I always seem to go back to my tried and true holy grail items though – and they don’t break my budget. In fact, those items are easily accessible at the drugstore. Today we’re going to talk about my drugstore favorites I keep going back for over and over! I actually have a lot of drugstore favorites, but I narrowed it down to just 3. I poured over receipts to see what I bought the most – so those are the 3 items we’re going to focus on.  There is actually a 4th item,…

Glow Up With Olay Cleansing Infusion

Thank you to Olay for sponsoring this post. All opinions and text are my own. Before I became a mom, everyone told me to take every chance I could to take care of me. I always thought I would be that mom who would have the perfect balance, and everything worked out. I was wrong. My eating habits changed, my clothing style changed, my makeup and skin care routine changed. Basically, I didn’t have the perfect balance and I was thrilled if everyone got to their morning destinations with matching shoes. Now my son is 12 and he’s become more independent. He doesn’t need to be attached to my hip all the time and is actually becoming his own person. Amazing right? Well, for me it is because I’m starting to get back into older routines and taking more care of myself. First thing I wanted back? My healthy, glowing…

Soothe Your Dry Skin with Dove DermaSeries

Disclosure: Post sponsored by Mirum Shopper but all opinions are my own. Let’s face it, most of us suffer from dry skin. For some of us it’s on our face, for some it’s our elbows and knees, and for some it’s simply all over. Personally, I have dry spots on my face (chin, cheeks and around my nose) as well as my elbows and hands. If you suffer from dry skin in any area, then you may want to take a look at the Dove DermaSeries at Target. There are 8 products for the face and body in total in the Dove DermaSeries and I picked up 3 that I felt were best for what I needed. Over the next 3 weeks I’ll be using them and sharing my results with you on Social Media. I didn’t want to go crazy yet since I am in tax season at work,…

Transitioning to Spring with Suzanne Somers Organics

This post has been sponsored by the PRIMP Network. All opinions are my own We’re at that point in the season where it’s warmer than Winter but still a little chilly for Spring. We’re getting ready to show off more skin and not worry about soaked, windblown hair as much. So tonight I’m going to show you how I’m transitioning to Spring with Suzanne Somers Organics! Suzanne Somers beauty products are made with natural botanical extracts, enzymes, skin-nurturing anti-oxidants, organic fruits, and vegetables. I’m coming up on 36 this month (eep!) so I’m trying to take a bit better care of myself, and ingredients in the products I use are starting to be more important to me. When I was younger I figured “Hey, it’s fine to use anything – I’ll bounce back!” Well at 35, I can say I don’t bounce back as nicely as I used to. I’m…
