Throw Your Hands In The Air With Confidence #PersonalCareWin

Disclosure: Post sponsored by Mirum Shopper but all opinions are my own. While everyone is going nuts for pumpkin spice, I’m prepping for football season! What’s better than an afternoon gathering of friends? Even the friends who aren’t into sports look forward to coming over for the fun. Being the only woman in the house, I make it a mission to make sure each guy is throwing their hands in the air with confidence when their team scores. My son is almost 13 and it’s my job to make sure he has all his essentials. From body wash to hair paste – he never goes without. I taught him at a young age that good hygiene is super important, whether you are hanging with your friends or staying at home with your parents. Over the weekend we made our usual Target stop for snacks and drinks, plus took advantage of…

Dove Self Esteem Project

Disclosure: Post sponsored by Mirum Shopper but all opinions are my own. Self esteem is one of those things in life that can feel difficult to hold onto or gain. For some it comes and goes, others have it and flaunt it, and some feel like they’ve never had it. For many of us, our self esteem is reflected by who we surrounded ourselves with at a young age. The smallest words can shatter that self esteem or it can build it up. I’m 36 years old now, but I still remember things people did or said, or even the things I said to myself when I was 15 that shattered my confidence. Some of those things took me years to get over. I remember looking at photos like this (I’m the one on the left) and back then I thought I looked chubby. What? I was around 102 lbs…

Make Mornings Better With Dove Shower Foam Body Wash

Disclosure: Post sponsored by Mirum Shopper but all opinions are my own. I rarely get time to myself anymore. It’s basically something I knew came with the territory of being a mom, but it also makes those quiet moments 1000 times better. My morning showers are the one thing I look forward to in the morning. I’m not a morning person at all – but getting those 10-20 minutes of peace and quiet is motivation to get up. Even more motivation? Knowing I have Dove Shower Foam Body Wash waiting to pamper me! Dove Shower Foams let you ditch the loofah and still have a luxurious lather in the shower. All 4 Dove Foaming Body Washes contain their NutriumMoisture technology with mild cleansers, which create a light, airy lather that rinses away clean and quick. The simple pump dispenser makes usage simple, and you don’t need a loofah! I only…

Runway Ready Made Easy With TRESemme

Disclosure: Post sponsored by Mirum Shopper but all opinions are my own. Who doesn’t love New York Fashion Week? My feed starts filling with all of the creative styles from various designers and not only is it inspiring, it awakens your inner creativity. I know I’ve said it a million times, but I like simple. I like a style I can do quickly and without needing too many gadgets and products to create. I like style that shows off my healthy hair, but adds just a little flair to it. While my style might not be too fancy – it perfectly captures me. A little messy, a little playful and well… simple to suit my lifestyle and time commitments. Of course TRESemme helped me create this look, and keeps my hair healthy to maintain my locks. I only needed 4 TRESemme products for this look (I told you I keep…

Inspire His Style for Back To School

Disclosure: Post sponsored by Mirum Shopper but all opinions are my own. How is Summer vacation almost done? Didn’t it just start? I’m already feeling frazzled from the Back To School shopping rush, and I don’t even have his full list yet. Check this out, his school gives out the official lists on August 15th… and school starts August 16th. So if you live around me in the Bay Area, look out for the crazy looking rushed moms. You know what I don’t need a list for though? His hygiene products. Jacob is entering the 7th grade and he is so into the whole smelling good thing (thank goodness) and I really have AXE to thank for that. We’ve talked about it here before. My son used to just say “I need soap and deodorant” and it was very blah. I would also have to hound him to USE IT.…
