Neutrogena Giveaway

Now that warm weather has arrived, it's vitally important to protect yourself from the sun.  It's enjoyable to spend a day at the pool or beach, but it's not fun to develop skin cancer from no sun protection.  Make sure you reapply generous amounts of sunscreen on your face and body every couple of hours.  The sun is getting brighter, there is less protective ozone and people are spending more time outdoors. And, due to global climate changes, the spring season starts earlier and fall arrives later. This means we are exposed to more dangerous UV rays now than in earlier decades. 

Neutrogena has been a skincare pioneer for more than 50 years now. They produce trusted skincare products for all skin types. Their products are instantly recognizable on store shelves. Whether you need a facial cleanser, anti-acne products, moisturizers, anti-aging products, or even cosmetics and more, they have you covered. The products provide fantastic results and are quality made.

Did you know the sun is actually brighter now than it was four centuries ago? Melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer, is the most preventable type of cancer but is still on the rise.  Help raise awareness by wearing ORANGE on “Melanoma Monday,” Monday, May 6. This is an important cause that needs to be recognized and spoken about.
Not all broad spectrum sunscreens are created equal. Check out these six sunscreens dermatologists recommend for surviving the summer season and beyond.
1.       NEUTROGENA® Beach Defense™ Sunscreen Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 30: Provides beach strength broad spectrum UVA/UVB sun protection in a lightweight, fast absorbing formula, ideal for outdoor skin protection of the active family.
2.       NEUTROGENA® Ultra Sheer® Body Mist Sunscreen: Stabilized with Helioplex® Technology, providing superior balanced broad-spectrum protection against UVA-aging and UVB-burning rays in an ultra-light, non-greasy finish.
3.       NEUTROGENA® Wet Skin Kids Lotion Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 45+: Developed with a technology that is designed to cut through water to apply directly to wet skin with minimal whitening or dripping off.
4.   NEUTROGNA® Clear Face Liquid Lotion Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 55: Specially designed to provide superior sun protection without causing breakouts on acne-prone skin.
5.   NEUTROGENA® Age Shield™ Face Lotion Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 110: Skin conditioners hydrate and replenish skin as the lightweight lotion absorbs quickly for a fresh, non-greasy feel, protecting your face and helping to maintain a youthful appearance every time you wear it.
6.   NEUTROGENA® MicroMist® Airbrush Sunless Tan: For those looking to avoid the rays, this one-touch continuous spray works at any angle to tan hard-to-reach places--even your back. It dries fast and won't clog pores.

Make sure to keep Neutrogena sunscreens in mind and in your beach bag while you're having fun in the sun! One lucky winner will win all 6!

As we age and grow older, we become more self conscious of our looks.  Nobody likes aging, but it's a fact of life. We can't look youthful forever, but it's our daily goal to try to achieve just that. We use serums, creams, wraps, lotions and potions to try to erase wrinkles and turn back the hands of time.  Wouldn't it be nice to find one product that you can know you count on?

No7 Protect and Perfect Intense Serum is independently tested and clinically proven to reduce the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles in just four weeks. It's three key active ingredients come from a powerful combination of pro-retinol, antioxidant complex (vitamin C, ginkgo, and Indian gooseberry), and firming elements of white lupin and peptides, plus alfalfa extracts. It's light and non-greasy, making it easy to glide onto skin and keep skin smooth and soft. 


·         Independently proven to visibly improve deep lines and wrinkles by up to 50%
·         Patent-pending antioxidant complex of Vitamin C, Ginkgo and Indian Gooseberry help protect skin from the environment and free radicals
·         Pro Retinol (vitamin A) helps boost collagen and elastin, leaving the skin looking fresher, firmer and smoother

If you're looking for a new product to boost your self-confidence, I recommed giving No7 a try.  Let 7 be your lucky number!

WAHL Review and Giveaway

This review was made possible by Mom Spark Media. Thoughts are my own. I received a Wahl Hot/Cold Massager for the purpose of this review.

Mother's day is almost here! All moms would love the chance to be pampered on their special day.  Skip the flowers, chocolate or jewelry this year and give mom what she wants most, a day of relaxation and de-stressing! WAHL is here to help you give mom a wonderful gift this May.



WAHL has been manufacturing professional home styling and animal grooming products since 1919. I most recognize WAHL for their home hair trimmers, shavers and clippers for men that I've seen in retail stores.  For the ladies, they offer hair removal products and massagers. Don't forget about Fido and Sparky! WAHL offers pet trimmers and grooming tools for pets.  Whether you have two legs or four, WAHL is here to help you look your best.

I recently discovered that WAHL sells massaging products  I often have pain in my lower back when I stand for too many hours. What usually happens is that I have my fiance knead out the kinks for me and relief flows through quickly. Wouldn't it be so much nicer to have a product to help you out?

WAHL offered me the opportunity to try their new hot-cold massage vibrating therapeutic gel pack. I love any kind of products that allow me to have "me time" and this one sounded right up my alley.

This one-part massager, one-part hot/cold pack is the latest in a series of new pain management products from Wahl. Unlike conventional hot/cold packs, this first-of-its-kind product combines two of the most common treatments--temperature therapy and massage-- to offer a new level of pain relief. It also offers Velcro straps for hands-free use.

If you're looking for total body pain relief, consider relief found! As soon as I received the product, I instantly opened it and tried it out.  I opted to microwave mine for soothing heat and placed it on my aching back.  The extra-thick gel pack covers large surface areas for long lasting relief.  I turned on the massager and it instantly worked its magic on my sore back as I laid on the couch.  I enjoyed the massaging element combined with the heat.  I closed my eyes and let all of my soreness and cares float away.  
After about 20 minutes I felt much better and quite rejuvenated. I was impressed.


I would really like to try this in the summer, but instead of heating it I'd like to stick it in the freezer.  The icy cold pack would feel wonderfully refreshing after a long day in the sun. This pack would be great for anyone who works a manual labor job and needs pain relief after work.  You can use it on your arm or leg or anywhere where you'd like to feel relief.  I look forward to using this pack on a regular basis.
