Ivory 2-in1 Body AND Hair wash! #Ivory2in1Power

A couple weeks ago, I was more than excited to receive a HUGE bottle of Ivory 2-in-1 Body and Hair Wash! I was thrilled because I have been waiting and waiting for someone to come out with this sort of 2-in-1 that can be used by men AND women, without making us ladies smell like a man! It's finally here!

While it is NOT Tear-Free, it works great for older children that are able to keep it out of their eyes. Monkey let me use it on him, and he was really glad that it doesn't smell "girly" like all the kid stuff does lol.

I'm one of those people that prefers to take fast and efficient showers. Having something that I can use head to toe, all in one, makes shower time that much more efficient, and I can get the heck out of there and get back to life even faster! And another thing, it works so well with my skin and my hair!

I hate using conditioner, and my hair tangles beyond easily. After using Ivory 2-in-1 Body and Hair wash, I don't need to use conditioner and my hair brushes so much easier. I know not everyone's hair is the same, so it may not be as perfect for your hair as it is mine, but I personally LOVE it! And my skin doesn't feel dry, and feels so clean afterwards.

Thanks Influenster for letting me try Ivory 2-in-1 Body and Hair Wash!

Oral Surgery Soon To Come

I've had dental pain for a while now, and finally have insurance to help with the cost of what I need done. It only covers 30%, so I still had to fork up quite a nice chunk of money to get it done. But, I finally got it scheduled!

I've never had anything like this done before, so I'm pretty nervous, but excited to finally get it taken care of! I have 3 wisdom teeth that are impacted AND broken, 2 of which are exposing the nerves. And one of them pushed up against the molar in front of it and broke it, so the nerve is exposed on that one too. All 4 will be coming out next Tuesday at 10AM!

Now all I need to do is work to find someone to not only watch Monkey that day (cause I am going to be totally out of it), but also drive me home from the procedure. Mr. Works out of town, and sometimes out of state all week long, so the chances of him getting the time off work to do it is highly unlikely.

I know it will all work out, it has to. And, I've got plenty of time to find someone to help, right?

AVEENO® POSITIVELY RADIANT® Intensive Night Cream is the new addition to my nightly routine! 

I've never been one for night-time routines. I'm quite bad about it all. The washing, moisurizing, toning, etc... Too many steps for me when I'm tired lol.

AVEENO® POSITIVELY RADIANT® Intensive Night Cream makes it super easy! After my shower, all I have to do is rub on the cream and forget about it! That's all! No scrubbing or 3-5 step products to slather all over my face. 

With Active Naturals Total Soy Complex, the Intensive night cream is Proven to help you wake up to more radiant-looking skin.

You can brighten and even skin tone with AVEENO POSITIVELY RADIANT Intensive Night Cream. Formulated with ACTIVE NATURALS Total Soy Complex and vitamin B3, this advanced night cream leaves skin smooth and healthy looking. This oil-free night cream will help keep you looking fresh and luminous.

The way it makes my skin feels is the best! There is no greasy, oily feeling after you put it on. It soaks right in and leaves your skin so smooth. It smells fantastic too!

  

I put it on my wrist for the photo to show you how light and non-oily it is!

Teach the secret to happiness with HUGO!

Monkey is a bit of a book-worm. Since he was super teeny tiny, he has loved books. Now that he's able to read, he loves them even more! Since I'm a bit of a protective Mom, I'm pretty picky about what books I let him read.

I was thrilled when I was given the opportunity to review the award winning children’s book Hugo The Happy Starfish by Suzy Liebermann. Hugo is a little starfish who finds his life a little dull. Tired of feeling sad, one day he sets off to find happiness (hey! Sounds like the point of my blog! lol). Hugo is a very well made educational book that not only helps children learn about attitude and empathy, but it can help adults re-learn these things as well! Teaching children (and adults) to give and share with others is a life lesson of social responsibility that seems to be lacking nowadays. Hugo the Starfish can help with that!

Hugo the Happy Starfish on Amazon

The colorful book and characters keep the attention of the children reading it quite easily, and the lessons learned are priceless. It's also easy for young readers to read on their own. Monkey reads it at least a few times a week!

THIS BOOK NOW IS AVAILABLE IN 7 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES THROUGH AMAZON EBOOKS. AND ON APRIL 30, 2013 THEY WILL HAVE HAPPY PROMOTION DAY!

VISIT SUZY LIEBERMANN'S SHOP ON AMAZON

AND YOU WILL FIND ALL KINDS OF FREE SURPRISE PROMOTIONS THAT DAY.
