Shades of Pink, Chocolate and Hello Kitty

COPPERTONE® CLEARLYSHEER™ SUNSCREEN

2014-07-01T12:58:00.000-07:00

received this product complimentary from BzzAgent for testing purposes.

Summer is upon us! Today, in Oregon-where I am from, is supposed to get to 100 degrees!!! Now to some that may be nothing but to us Oregonians that's inferno hahaha, we are used to the rain and clouds. Luckily I'll have my Coppertone Clearly Sheer Sunscreen For Sunny Days in handy. This product is super lightweight, I put some all over my body and it felt like I didn't put any on unlike others that feel cakey. It smells great and is super absorbent. It took a few seconds to fully absorb into my skin and it left me feeling soft all over. It is water resistant for about 80 minutes, I wish longer but I don’t mind putting it back on. It is broad spectrum SPF 30 which I love and only cost about $9.00 and totally worth it. Tip: make sure you shake well before use.

Quickly before I go the only con I found with this is that if you get super hot the product gets super greasy and rubs off kind of white on clothes.

Viva VoxBox

2014-05-27T11:44:00.000-07:00

**** I received these products for free for testing purposes ****

I was so excited when I was selected to receive the Viva VoxBox form Influenster, I never tried any of the products listed so I was eager to get the box in my hands. Here are some quick reviews of the products, if you want to see more detailed reviews check out my other blog posts.

NYC City Proof Twist-able Intense Lip Color in South "Ferry Berry"

Pros

Cetaphil® Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths

2014-05-20T14:06:00.000-07:00

****Received this product complimentary for testing purpose from Influenster****

I've heard if Cetaphil before but I never used their products. Why? To be honest, I don't know but I was excited when I opened up my VivaVoxBox and saw Cetaphil cleansing cloths. There are 25 pre-moistened towelettes and are supposed to be great for sensitive skin. Well what do you know, I am one of those people with sensitive skin. If you have read my other post you will notice I mention it a lot haha. Anyways, the towelettes are thick, unlike competitors brand where they are really flimsy. These towelettes are sturdy and are prepared for a very dirty face lol, simply, they are great quality. They are super soft on the skin and remove all makeup with one cloth. Unless you wear clown make up THEN you might want to use a few more. The only problem I encountered was that they were a little dry. Now, I don't know if it was just my pack or that's how they come but I will be buying another pack to see. I suggest you do the same :)

Montagne Jeunesse Manuka Honey Peel Off

2014-05-19T22:10:00.001-07:00

**** I received this product free for testing purposes from Influenster ****

Let me start off by saying that I love that this company is animal cruelty free!

I'm not much of a face mask person but thought I'd try it out. It wasn't as sticky as I thought it would be as its a honey peel so I was for sure thinking I was going to have a bad experience but to my surprise it was very smooth. It smelled just like honey too. The steps to applying are simple; clean your face, apply mask, relax 15-20 minutes and peel. At first I thought I did it wrong, even with these simple instruction, as it did not feel like anything was hardening and there wasn't much color on my face it had more of a transparent look to it. My thoughts... "great, only I would mess up something so simple." I waited 20 minutes and rubbed a little on the side and slowly peeled. It worked!
My face felt soooo smooth and it even cleaned my pores. The only problem I had was that I got some on my eyebrows and when I peeled it pulled hair and hurt a little but that's about it... other than that I had no problems with this product. I cant wait to try all the other peels this company has to offer

Pampers Swaddlers Diapers

2014-02-03T12:33:00.000-08:00

**** I received this product FREE from Crowdtap for testing purposes****

So, when my daughter was a newborn she left the hospital wearing Pampers Swaddlers in NB size and she, obviously, grew and grew until she no longer fit into Swaddlers. At that time Swaddlers were only in sized P, NB,1,2,3. I was kind of sad, Swaddlers were great for her and when she no longer could fit in them I switched to LUV's. Yes, I know they have Pampers Cruisers but they didn't have the fit I was looking for. Well recently I heard about Pampers making their Swaddlers size in bigger sizes (4,5), I was excited. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to try them for free!

Pampers Swaddlers were a perfect fit on my daughter just like they were coming home from the hospital. They were super soft and super absorbent. They have a 12 hours of overnight protection and a blue line will appear to indicate wetness. My daughter especially loved that all her favorite Sesame Street characters were designs on the diapers.

Here are some of the new features:

Now available in sizes 4 and 5, our latest Swaddlers product now delivers everything you love and trust about this #1 diaper choice of hospitals* for your growing child. Now these larger diapers have the same mesh absorb away liner and wetness indicator you have come to know and love on Swaddlers small sizes.
Swaddlers (Sizes newborn through 3) now have an elongated absorbent layer providing your baby with protection for up to 20% more BMs. In fact, this layer has been elongated in the back of the diaper especially to help provide absorbency for more runny bowel movements of younger babies. It’s the exact same absorbent layer material you are used to on Swaddlers, just a little more of it in the right place.
Umbilical notch in sizes 1 and 2. Sometimes when bigger babies are born, they bypass newborn sizes and may fit into size 1 or 2 diapers. In an effort to care for these babies, Pampers added the same umbilical notch on our newborn size to our size 1 and 2 Swaddlers to provide a more comfortable fit for the healing umbilical cord and those rounded baby bellies.

It’s important to know that Pampers have not changed any of the raw materials or ingredients they use on their diapers. They are the same safe and thoroughly-tested materials they have been using on Swaddlers for many years.

Quick review of E.L.F eyelid primer

2014-01-19T23:25:00.000-08:00

PROS: Cheap!

CONS: Very little product.

QUICK TIPS: Buy often

I have been using E.L.F eyelid primer for over a year and have enjoyed it. I really love how cheap it is, only $1!! It last for up to 6 hours which is great for date night, it really keep my eye shadow in place. The only problem I have with it is that there is not much product in the container. It seems like a lot but it really isn't but I guess that's what you get for a dollar aye. Another thing was that if you don't use it within the month you should probably throw it out, in my experience it starts to clump up after a month. I tried saving money and stopped using it less often so it would last, mistake, it dries out and clumps up. I still gave it an A as this has been the only primer that has lasted longer than most I would just recommend buying 2 at a time and using it within the month.

KASHI HUMMUS CRISPS

2013-09-09T22:56:00.000-07:00

Holy guacamole! The Sea Salt and Olive Oil Hummus Crisps taste exactly like sea salt, and you can even taste the olive oil, which was a shocker for me. (How do they do that?!) So, if you have ever fallen for sea salt-and-vinegar potato chips, look no further! Light and airy with a serving size of — hold on to your fit butts — 27 crisps, these have 120 calories. No reason to feel any shame in chowin’ down.

The deliciously crunchable hummus experience contains:

At least 3g fiber*

At least 3g protein**

At least 5g of whole grains***

No partially hydrogenated oils

No high fructose corn syrup

No artificial anything!

You can crunch through three naturally yummy flavors: Caramelized Onion, Sundried Tomato Basil & Feta, and Sea Salt & Olive Oil.

*3.5g total fat per serving

**Not a significant source of protein (5% daily value per serving)

***Recommended to consume at least 48 grams of whole grain each day

Although these are not my two favorite flavors in general I still enjoyed them with a cucumber and greek yogurt dip. These chips add flavor to whatever you are eating it with.

I just love how I can eat them solo or with a dip,sauce.

I did receive this product for free from bzz agent for testing purposes.

Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles

2013-09-09T17:16:00.000-07:00

So, I have a mild case of flat feet. In any degree, flat feet are painful, especially when you try to wear high heels. Like most flat footers I simply avoided anything with a heel. My Hello Kitty obsession went into overdrive when I came upon these glittery HK heels online and I had to have them. Of course I knew I could not wear them and sadly they sat there looking pretty, until Influenster gave me an opportunity to try them for free for testing purposes! I was so excited.

I have never used insoles before because they were out of my budget ( I'm a stay at home mom/college student) and although they only go for about $10.99 at most retail stores, I didn't want to risk spending that money on "maybe they will work."

Boy how I wished I would have bought them before! They were great! I was finally able to wear my heels for more than 2 hours without having to take them off every 10 minutes for comfort.

Dr. Scholls For Her High Heel Insoles have a uniquely designed ultra soft gel arch that shifts pressure off the balls of your feet. They also have a unique adhesive that helps the insole stay in place. You can also remove the insole without any damage to your shoes. The 3/4 length wont crowd your toes so you can be comfy, and its practically invisible even in strappy heels! They are also slim to they wont make your shoes feel tight and designed to fit heels "2" inch or higher. Isn't that great?!?

The only problem with these insoles is that they are only available in size 6-10, thankfully I'ma size 7.5, so anyone who is in a bigger size cannot experience the comfort these insoles provide. Which makes me sad. Maybe Dr.Schollls will offer them in a bigger size soon.

Although it didn't completely take ALL the pain away, these insoles helped tremendously. I was able to have my heels on for about a full six hours without complaint thanks to these insoles. I would definitely recommend Dr. Scholls For Her High Heel Insole to my friends and family and I will be definitely be buying them after this.

NYC New York Color Sparkle Eye Dust

2013-09-03T11:59:00.001-07:00

*** I received this product complimentary form Influenster for testing purposes***

I was able to try NYC Sparkle Eye Dust in Smokey Topaz and what a beautiful color it was. It has a wonderfully soft applicator that is just the right size to allow you just to need one swipe to be set. This color is suitable bot for day and evening wear, which is great because I like to have a little shimmer and sparkle both day and night. The only con is that it is shimmer dust, so you may need to wipe some off your clothes or face; what I did if I wanted less shimmer dust was use a smaller applicator, but other than that it is great! I cant wait to try out the other colors. http://newyorkcolor.com/products/eyes/eyeshadow/sparkle-eye-dust-0

Secret outlast clear gel

2013-07-01T19:50:00.002-07:00

So, I am one of those people that .have to constantly change deodorants due to them no longer being effective after a month. When I was selected to try out Secret Outlast Clear Gel for free from Influenster for their Spring VoxBox campaign I was a bit skeptical. To my surprise I was pleased.

This was the fist deodorant in a long time that I didn't have to keep re applying throughout the day, just one swipe after my morning shower and I was set for the day. It was great not having to carry deodorant with me wherever I go. It had a nice fresh scent and I only had to use 1 click to get great results. To top it off I was able to wear my "little black dress" with no white marks everywhere!!

I would definitely recommend this to everyone I know.

Ivory® 2-IN-1 Hair & Body Wash

2013-06-02T23:24:00.003-07:00

I was lucky enough to receive this product via influensters vox box program. You can sign up and get to try free products too!! You need a referral invite to sign up so if it sounds like something you want to try send me an email at drowning.in.a.towel@gmail.com.

Anyway, my daughter has super sensitive skin and we have been having a hard time finding a product that doesn't make her breakout. I was so happy when I opened my email and was selected to try this product. Ivory is free of dyes and heavy perfumes, exactly what I was looking for. (Ivory is celebrating over 130 years of bringing simple and clean to families).

Even though it is free of heavy perfume it smelled amazing! My daughter always said, "mmm it smells good." Besides it being free of dyes and heavy perfume its 2 in 1. It saved my family so much time and a bit of money as well. I loved how I can wash my daughters hair and her body at the same time. Not only did it wash her hair but also conditioned it!

I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who likes products that are simple and are free of harsh dyes and perfume and also to anyone who has sensitive skin.

Review:Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil

2013-04-08T14:23:00.001-07:00

My face is very sensitive to most products so I was very skeptical about using NEW Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil for the dryness in my face. I was pleasantly surprised. It didn't clog my pores, left my face silky soft, and I didn't break out in a rash like other products I have tried. The heavy duty oil is composed of Olive, Avocado, and Shea oil that is meant to restore your skin with moisture. It promises supple skin. I truly believe they kept their promise.

As for my hair, I didn't see much of a difference except that it didnt get tangled as much as it used to. My hair was silky and smooth just as much with any other product.

I also tried this on my body, as it is a 3 in 1 product. My hands felt great and my feet were super soft after a few uses. The best was giving moisture to my knees and elbows! I always have trouble getting the dry flaky look to go away from these areas but with Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil it certainly made them worthy of showing off.

I was very impressed with this product. Combines three weightless oils – olive, avocado and shea – to transform dry hair and skin. Made for everyday use on your hair, body and face. Instantly absorbs in a touch with no oily residue.Can be used on damp or dry hair. Available for suggested price of $5.99

So go out and buy a bottle today!

Al Rescate!

2013-01-05T18:32:00.001-08:00

I have always had trouble finding a shampoo and conditioner that would not only clean my hair but also help my dry,flaky, frizzy, damaged hair. When I got offered to product test Head&Shoulders Damage Rescue I was excited and said yes.

This product smells amazing! I was excited to be putting it in my hair lol. After about a week I started to see a difference. I didn't have so much frizz or "poofiness." The two week mark hit where I usually decide if a product is going to work for me or not and the results were great-

My hair wasn't so dry anymore and the ends were not poofing out as much. It was manageable again!!!

The flakiness subsided as well.

You can find this product at any of your local stores (Walmart, Target, Safeway) for about $5 each froa 14.2 oz bottle which is great! Totally worth it.

I would definitely recommend this product to everyone. It smells great, keeps flakes away, and helps damaged dry hair.

Global Green USA Green School Makeover Competition Presented by Pureology

2013-01-03T20:57:00.000-08:00

Every child deserves a learning environment that’s safe, healthy, free of harmful toxins and optimal for learning. Unfortunately, many schools across the country are subjecting children to unhealthy classrooms with poor lighting and inefficient energy usage, which costs most schools more money than they spend on books and computers. When a school goes green, children benefit – as well as the environment!

I try cleaning my house as toxic free as possible and I would also like my sons school to try to clean with toxin free cleaning products. I feel that it is better for their respiratory system as well as their overall health . I would also like them to use light bulbs with less mercury.

I do have to give props to my sons school though for making their own garden right in front of the school its a step in becoming green:)

This is why I have entered my sons school in to the Global Green USA Green School Makeover Competition.
Presented by Pureology. Just go to the site, http://www.pureology.com/GreenSchools , and fill out the form and state why your school should have a green makeover and share the competition with your friends and family and school that way they can enter too!!

Take action and nominate a school for Global Green USA’s Green School Makeover Competition Presented by Pureology! From January 1 to March 31, 2013, visitPureology.com/GreenSchools to learn more and nominate a school. If you need help, work with your school principal or school facilities administrator to complete the application. Remember to think about the types of green upgrades your school needs and why.

COVERGIRL Blastflipstick

2013-01-03T13:41:00.000-08:00

Im wearing Vixen

The first thing I love about this product is that it's actually two products in one--you get two lipsticks in every tube that you can wear separately or mix and match for an endless array of looks. There is a matte shade, which is the darker of the two, and a more shimmery shade. They both look wonderful separately, but are stunning when worn together! So essentially you are getting more than two colors!!! It smooths on like butter and can be applied in layers, and it last for hours so you dont have to worry about applying more after an hour like other lip products. Mine actually lasted a full 12 hours possibly more! Covergirl Blast Flipstick is available at most grocery stores, drug stores, and major retailers (like Target or Walmart) in the United States, and retails for about $8.49--but remember, you're getting two for the price of one! maybe more!!The line has 13 color duos! Imagine the possibilities...

Ten Guilty Pleasures

2011-10-04T23:45:00.000-07:00

Ah yes! We all have them and I am going to share mine.

10. Purses and books
Okay, so I don't feel so guilty about buying books but purses yes. I have a little addiction when it comes to purses. Cheap or expensive, I don't care, I want it so I buy it. When I get home is when the guilt trip starts, I always find myself mad because I could have bought my kiddos a new outfit or toys.

9. Pizza and Cherry Dr.Pepper
OMG! The best combo ever! I am on a health kick right now, I am trying to be fit and lose 60 pounds, I absolutely cannot say no to these two. Six years ago I quit drinking soda and any other caffeinated drinks and a few months ago I took one sip of Dr.Pepper and fell in love all over again. LOL. I feel really bad though because I always tell people the best way to start a healthy lifestyle is getting rid of soda and fast food. I've become such a hypocrite.

8. Hello Kitty
I'm Twenty five years old, married, and have two children I should not be enjoying Hello Kitty paraphernalia!!! But I do. Purses, body wash, body butter, body glitter, wallets. key chains, stickers, tattoos, shirts, pants, underwear, bras, socks, etc... ALL HELLO KITTY!! Lol

7. Cartoons
I enjoy watching cartoons with my kids even though most cartoons are just plain unintelligent, but I also enjoy them when my kids are not around. I catch myself watching them when my son is a t school and my daughter is napping. iCarly is not a cartoon but a kids show I enjoy watching ,especially alone. No, none of my friends know I watch this stuff thank goodness lol.

6. My dishwasher
I grew up with having to do everything by hand. My mom always said that dishwashers were for lazy people. It wasn't until I met my husband that I actually used one. Now I use it everyday, even for a small load. I am not lazy its just convenient. When my mom comes over I tell her I use it once a week so shhh.

5. Chubby men
I absolutely love chubby guys. Not fat or obese just men with meat on them and very little muscle lol. When I'm with my friends and they start drooling over six pack abs I pretend to drool along. I'm pretty sure I am the only girl who likes chubbies.

4. Boy bands
MmmBOP!!! I still love that song by Hanson. LOL!!! I think that says it all.

3.Cheesy movie Saturdays
Do you ever notice how networks play the corniest, cheesiest movies on Saturdays? Mattress goes in the living room and I spend my Saturdays being a loyal viewer. Private Valentine starring Jessica Simpson is my favorite.

2. Snooki time
I have fallen victim to Jersey Shore. My husband got me hooked and now I cant get enough of it, but I still wont like the Jersey Shore page on Facebook.

1. Mocospace.com
Oh dear. If you have no idea what this site is then you are in a good place. Its a addicting. This place is full of weirdos, perverts, sluts, and much more. Your I.Q score will drop if you spend anytime here. With this being said I have no idea why I still log in. As I type this I have Moco up on another tab. NONE of my friends know about me chatting on moco nor will they ever. The only good thing that came out of me making an account at that site is that I met my husband there, but please don't take that as a sign to go visit that sight. LOL

Someone once asked me "what does love mean to you?"

Love is more than just those first months of newness and discovery. Love is when it is real and destined to last, is in part the unconditional acceptance and respect for your love. Those swirling exciting feelings do not fade, they merely settle to rest under your feet to create the foundation of your lives together. As we go through our days we must hold a tiny seed in our hearts of those first days when love was new and must remember to never take love for granted. Love reveals itself in many ways but when it's true its always constant. It does not appear and disappear on a whim. It shows itself in small ways everyday. Perhaps it is revealed through a love note taped to the mirror that speaks more than words ever could.
Love is something most pursue. When we finally catch it we are elated to revel in its wonderful feeling that it brings. When we find love we lose it and we wonder why we chased it all, then after old wounds heal we realize that love is too wonderful to be missed. Love has the ability to grow and spread from the tiniest gestures into the grandest one. Love makes you brave, gives you hope, gives you courage to face insurmountable tasks. Love is a good teacher, it strives to teach us to be tolerant and accepting, to be silly and light hearted, and to be forgiving and understanding. In short, Love makes life worth living and i'm thankful that I have a lifetime to love you Preston.♥

So Im home alone with my house all decorated waiting for the guest to arrive, now I have some time to blog. Thank GOD! Now I feel like I should write about my day but i'm not. I need more time to work it out LOL. So for your entertainment i am proud to present: Things that make me Vicky!

1. I love to smell towels.

Now you might think "well this is not so bad , must be clean towels". NO! I enjoy smelling wet, used towels. It's disgusting I know but I must do it daily. I go lock myself in the bathroom for about 30 minutes and just sniff til my nose hurts. Ive cut back alot but I still tend to do it 75% of the time.

2. Teeth

I'm infatuated with teeth. Maybe it's because I worked in a dental office and went to dental school, whatever it is i am certainly overly fascinated with teeth. I'll analyze teeth while someone is talking or smiling at me. I try to figure out what work they have had done or what work they need. If given the opportunity to look into someones mouth I will!

3. Uneducated educated folk annoy me (im sure they annoy you too)

  LOL!!!! What I mean by this is people who brag about their education/degrees and yet still dont know how to differentiate THEIR, THEY'RE, and THERE! Also when they correct someone with a wrong answer and defend it because they graduated college. Its really irritating when I am in the presence of these type of people, If you dont know something then you dont know!!! Ugh im getting annoyed just typing this lol... Next!

4. Commercials

  Mute! Yes I have to mute all commercials. How many times in a day do I have to get reminded that paper towels pick up spills lol. Thank goodness I dont watch too much of the tube but when i do I get 5 minutes of the show and 10 minutes of commercial WTF!!!! My old lady gets mad when I hit mute because he enjoys them, idiot, lol. If only I could find a mute button for him.

5. Pulse checks

Ive been doing this for about 6 years now, im thinking its a little ocd on my part. Every morning I check my pulse to see if im alive, as if actually waking up cant confirm it. It continues throughout the day without me noticing, the only way I know im doing it is because somebody will call me out on it. It has gotten better in the past 2 years but I really just want it to go away...therapy time? LOL

6. Sailor mouth

  I wish it wasn't so. The only time I dont say nasty, dirty, vulgar words is when my son is around. My mother always finds it shocking that a "lady" can speak that way. I dont know why i like to use such profanity, i was raised in a GOD fearing home. Ive only heard my mom say "hell" and she felt so disappointed in herself LOL. Cunt, Twat, Pussy, Dick face, and Fuck off are my favorites LOL. Im going to be a mean old "lady" :p

Well I guess thats it for now. I dont want to scare you all off. Im sure a part 2 will be here soon :) Hope you enjoyed!
