TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo

2011-09-19T17:01:00.001-04:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TRESemmé. All opinions are 100% mine.

Hello darlings! By now you all know I am uber loyal to the TRESemmé brand. I have yet to use a shampoo, conditioner or styling product I have not liked. TRESemmé now has a complete line of dry shampoos to revive your hair's look and feel on those days you skip your regular shampoo routine. These dry shampoos are formulated to absorb excess oils, remove odor and rejuvenate hair without a single drop of water, hence dry shampoo!

Each product includes bursts of citrus extracts that leave hair with a clean, fresh scent. I typically wash my hair every 2 days, 3 on occasion so using dry shampoo helps get rid of the many odors hair can absorb, such as disgusting second hand smoke, food and typical air pollution. I am sensitive to orders and cannot take it if my hair does not smell clean! Here are some tips to get the best results from TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo:

Shake well before use and in between sprays for best results
Lift sections of dry hair and spray lightly at your roots
Spray in short bursts, holding the container about 8-12 inches from your head
Don’t spray it all over and continuously like it is hair spray!
Leave it in for 1-2 minutes
Use your fingertips or a brush to distribute the product evenly
If clogging occurs, remove and rinse the nozzle under warm water, then reattach. (It's very easy)

YouTube beauty guru, Elle Fowler, recently did a video titled Top Hair Products for School which includes a demonstration on how to use TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo and why she loves it. Check out Elle's video below (TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo section starts at about 5:55 in the video):

The full line of TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo includes:

Strengthening Dry Shampoo: Formulated with B12 vitamins and keratin to help strengthen hair and leaves it full of healthy body.
Volumizing Dry Shampoo: With mineral clay and citrus, removes oil while injecting hair with salon-gorgeous volume.
Smoothing Dry Shampoo: Includes Vitamin H & Silk Proteins that refreshes your straight style by removing excess oil, impurities and odor to ensure your smooth look lasts.
Moisturizing Waterless Foam Shampoo: Formulated with Witch Hazel, Citrus, and Aloe Vera that refreshes your hair by removing excess oil, impurities and odor while moisturizing hair.

I personally prefer the strengthening dry shampoo because I prefer products that will help keep my hair strong and healthy due to fact that I blow dry, curl or flat iron my hair often. If you use TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo or want to try it, leave a comment below telling which you prefer!

No Contract Mobile Service - Net10

2011-08-03T17:01:00.001-04:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Net10. All opinions are 100% mine.

Well my darlings, I am officially over my mobile service contract malarkey. I love my cell phone and the service I've received but contracts with my service provider are so ridiculous! I want to be able to switch plans or phones without extending my contract or having to pay full price of $500 for a phone. To get out of my contract I would have to wait until it ends and purchase any new device I want from that point on at full price which is easily $500 or more. Or I could simply cancel...and be charged a $350 ETF (Early Termination Fee). Yea, that sounds splendid! So my solution is to find a prepaid service that offers what I need with no contract...ever!

Net10 offers some pretty attractive plans. If I did not require a ginormous amount of airtime I would go with their Easy Minutes plan for just $15 for 200 minutes! Paying just $15 for phone service would be like 80 pounds of weight lifted off my shoulder. But I need more airtime than that because I simply don't know how to hush my talk box. So in reasearching, I would definitely want Net10's Unlimited plan that includes unlimited talk, text and data for $50 per month. Seriously? The unlimited plan with my current provider is $89.99 before taxes not even including data, total my monthly bill comes to about $120 before taxes. So with Net10 I'd save at least $70 per month, which is...$840 per year. I think I just found another reason to get out of the contract world! My contract is craptastic, I felt just like the woman in this see the Light video. I also checked out the video of a real NET10 customer while I was on YouTube.

Net10 offers phones from manufacturers like LG, Motorola and Samsung with simple talk & text phones starting under $15, feature phones starting under $40 and touch screens starting under $60. You get nationwide coverage, no contract, no extra fees and can switch plans anytime you want...all with no credit check. Did I mention that I use a business number and a personal number? So I could get 2 phone lines from Net10 for the price of 1 phone line from my current provider. I also found that Net10 has Twitter and Facebook page so I will check those out as part of my search for a new phone provider. Although I haven't made the switch yet, I will definitely keep Net10 on my list as I compare my options. I am beyond ready to say goodbye to contracts!

Give Back: My Coke Rewards For Schools

2011-08-02T10:02:00.002-04:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of My Coke Rewards. All opinions are 100% mine.

Many of us are always on the hunt for ways to give back and lend a helping hand to those in need, our favorite causes and our communities. My Coke Rewards for schools makes it extremely easy to do just that. As many of you know, my nephew moved with us this summer and he will be attending school here in Florida for the first time at the local middle school. As a parent, teacher, school or member of any community it is so important to make sure students have the materials needed for activities.

Think about how many times you purchase a bottle of Coca-Cola and toss the bottle in the recycle bin. Imagine if those purchases helped a local school. My Coke rewards for schools lets you redeem those purchases for points for your school of choice. Those points provide schools with classroom supplies, books, sports equipment and more! Here is how it works:

Purchase participating Coca-Cola products
Enter codes at mycokerewards.com/schools to get points
Pick your school and donate points
Your school uses points to get rewards!

It's as simple as that! There are 15 participating Coca-Cola brands: Coca-Cola, Coke Zero, Diet Coke, Sprite, Dasani, Powerade, Minute Maid, Fanta, Vault, Barq's, Fresca, Pibb, Mello Yello, Nestea and Seagram's. Make sure you redeem the points so your purchases help a school and encourage the registration of your local schools if they are not participating yet. It feels great knowing my love of Cherry Coke will help my nephew's school get the supplies needed!

Also from July 13, 2011 to September 30, 2011 Sprite Spark Parks for Schools is giving 25 schools playgrounds worth $25,000! You can help by purchasing and entering a code from any Sprite/Sprite Zero package to gain an entry in the sweepstakes for your school. In addition the school will get an additional entry for every 3 points donated through the Sprite Sparks Parks for Schools sweepstakes. Any new school that registers can win. Sounds pretty cool to me! Now go help your school by redeeming your purchases!

Monte Carlo - A Great Summer Movie

2011-07-04T04:01:00.001-04:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Monte Carlo. All opinions are 100% mine.

Hello darlings! Summer is here and that makes me want to get out more. Summer is always a constant movie fest for me. I am looking forward to the many movies available but one that caught my attention recently is Monte Carlo, starring Selena Gomez, Katie Cassidy and Leighton Meester. The movie is now playing in theaters and calls out to me because it reminds me of my closest friends and myself. My friends and I get together and plan these "girlfriend getaways" just as the main characters in the movie preview.

The girls head out on a trip to Paris and funny things go wrong, just as with most trips. I cannot begin to tell you all of the hilarious mishaps my girlfriends and I have encountered on our trips. Things tend to end well...just not to the awesome degree as in the movie. Grace, played by Selena Gomez, is an ordinary girl on this trip of a lifetime in Paris with her step-sister and best friend. They are suddenly whisked away to Monte Carlo when Grace is mistaken for a British heiress. The adventure continues from there as they live out the lifestyle most girls can only dream of.

Monte Carlo seems like a great summer movie for a girls day out with friends or even a movie for a mother and daughter day out. Check out the then buy your your tickets on Fandango . Grab your friends or daughter and enjoy the movie! You can also stop by the Facebook page of Monte Carlo to share your opinion and see what others have to say!

12pc Makeup Brush Set Giveaway By Sedona Lace

2011-06-03T23:33:00.082-04:00

Hey darlings, Sedona Lace is giving away one of their highly praised 12 piece makeup brush sets. This 12 piece set usually retails for $59.99 unless you catch them on sale during promotional periods. The winner will get to choose from the brush set in black or pink both of which include 4 face brushes, 8 eye brushes and a brush roll. I personally do not own these brushes but have wanted to try them and post my own review due to the rave reviews the make up brushes have been getting. I own the Sedona Lace 120 Pro Palette 2nd Edition and love it so I have high expectations for the cosmetic brushes and it would be great to use Sedona Lace brushes with my 120 Pro Palette for YouTube tutorials I'd like to make. Keep reading for more information on the prize and how to enter the giveaway.

12 Piece Professional Brush Set Includes:

Powder Brush 376 - This sculpted brush head with natural bristles, allows for more precise placement. Great rounded top for "all over" application of loose powder.

Duo Fibre Brush 813 - This brush is known to add the finish of an "airbrush look" when using liquid foundation, not the best brush for creme foundations. The great natural bristles of this brush help with the application of blush, also used as a highlight brush.

Foundation Brush 727 - The synthetic bristles on this brush are non-absorbing to help keep your foundation on your face and not on the brush! Tapered Oval head gently helps to blend the foundation into place. Works well with any Liquid/creme products, but works best with Sedona Lace's 10 color camouflage concealer palette.

Large Angled Contour Brush 850 - This angled shaped brush works best when used for applying blushes. Used to apply cheek contour, could also be used wet as a foundation brush. These natural bristles are best when used with Sedona Lace's Contour and Blush Palette.

Concealer Brush 954 - This Rounded flat shaped, thin precision tip brush with synthetic bristles allows flawless application of cream or liquid concealers underneath the eye or in hard to reach areas, like the inner eye or lash-line.

Medium Angled Shading Brush 407 - This angled shape, yet flat with natural bristles brush, is best used underneath the eyebrow and inner corners of the eyes. Also great use for blending shadows outwards.

Small Angled Brush 561 - This stiff natural bristled brush is angled to help create the perfect eye brow when filling in. This is an essential brush when applying gel or creme eyeliner.

Large Shader Brush 941 - This flat shaped brush is ideal for applying eye shadow primer and creme formulas. Could also be used for concealers in precise areas. Natural bristles.

Tapered Blending Brush 863 - This brush has a rounded and tapered top and a perfect size for applying and blending an all over shadow. Packs color into the lip and also blends for a soft result. These natural designed bristles are best when used with Sedona Lace's Ulta shimmer 88 palette/matte 88 palette and the 120 pro palette first edition.

Pencil Brush 904 - This is the make up brush I am most interested in right now as I do not have one. This brush is name of natural bristles and is perfect for smudging out eye liner. Great for applying color in the crease and outer corner of the eye. This brush can easily create a gorgeous 'smokey eye' look.

Eye Shading Brush 305 - This brush has a soft rounded top to helps apply loose eye shadows and pigments. Ideal for packing on a lot of pigment and keeping an intense color. Natural bristles.

Eyeliner Brush 772 - This extra fine brush with natural bristles helps give a precise line when applying liner.

You can visit SedonaLace.com to read reviews and shop online. You can also stay connected with Sedona Lace on their FaceBook page, YouTube channel and follow @SedonaLace on Twitter.

Realistic Relationship Advice With TwoOfUs.org

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TwoOfUs. All opinions are 100% mine.
Hey Darlings! I want to tell you all about this site I've been exploring and recommending to quite a few friends. It's called TwoOfUs.org and it is by far the best free relationship site I've seen.

This is a site where you can go for great articles, tips on keeping your relationship fresh and opinions on relationships of all levels. You can comment and share your own opinions and experiences with others as well.

The site is broken down into 5 sections: dating, exclusive, engaged, married and parents. Each section has articles, discussions and polls relating to that relationship stage. There are articles from when to take your relationship to the next level to advise on how to make an awesome marriage proposal. Even if you are single or recently went thru a breakup, the articles on the site may help you see a few things that could have been done differently and better prepare you for a better relationship experience next time. Hill Harper of CSI: NY even throws in his 2 cents with a great video full of his own opinions on relationships & marriage from a man's perspective.

TwoOfUs.org also has a Facebook page full of discussions with others individuals just like yourself. They recently had a fun Show Us The Love contest, the page is just great! If you want advise or just love to discuss topics like I do, this is a pretty cool place to do that so you should head over to the TwoOfUs.org Facebook page and like them to join in! The Facebook page is an easy way to keep up with the latest new articles and news about the site. They also have a YouTube channel and you should definitely follow @twoofusorg on Twitter.

Lupus Awareness Month

Fact of the day: The most common symptoms of lupus are: extreme fatigue or exhaustion, headaches, painful or swollen joints, fever, a butterfly-shaped rash across cheeks and nose, sun- or light-sensitivity, and hair loss.

I experience all of the symptoms underlined above on a regular basis. As for the butterfly rash, luckily I have not had one since last year. Also my hair is pretty thick, healthy and grows fast so fortunately the hair loss is not a big deal for me nor noticeable to others.

World Lupus Day

2011-05-10T09:15:00.006-04:00

Today is World Lupus Day my darlings! Please read on as this affects me personally and the beautiful emails I've received from many of you over the years shows that you truly care. It is a very important cause for many people living with lupus and their loved ones who support them. Also, I hope you're all wearing purple today! Thank you to each & every person who reads this, awareness is key! Please share...

From WorldLupusDay.org:

ABOUT LUPUS

Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body (skin, joints, and/or organs inside the body). Chronic means that the signs and symptoms tend to last longer than six weeks and often for many years. In lupus, something goes wrong with your immune system, which is the part of the body that fights off viruses, bacteria, and germs ("foreign invaders," like the flu). Normally our immune system produces proteins called antibodies that protect the body from these invaders. Autoimmune means your immune system cannot tell the difference between these foreign invaders and your body’s healthy tissues ("auto" means "self") and creates autoantibodies that attack and destroy healthy tissue. These autoantibodies cause inflammation, pain, and damage in various parts of the body.

Every day, more than 5 million people worldwide struggle with the often debilitating health consequences of lupus, a potentially fatal autoimmune disease capable of damaging virtually any part of the body, including the skin, heart, lungs, kidneys, and brain.

ABOUT WORLD LUPUS DAY

World Lupus Day began with a Proclamation 7 years ago by an international steering committee representing lupus organizations from 13 different nations when they met in Eaton, United Kingdom to organize the first observance of World Lupus Day. The Proclamation is a call to action for governments around the world to increase their financial support for lupus research, awareness and patient services.

The Proclamation reflects the emerging issues that people with lupus around the world must face every day. The Proclamation serves to give a single voice to all individuals affected by this devastating and debilitating chronic disease.

Lupus Fact Of The Day - 10

2011-05-10T07:55:00.000-04:00

Lupus Awareness Month

Fact of the day: Only ten percent of people with lupus will have a close relative who already has lupus or may develop lupus. Some people with lupus also will have a relative who has lupus or another autoimmune disease.
