Leave Those Embarrasing Moments Behind with DrySpray Antiperspirants

Leave a comment

You know what is totally embarrassing?

Taking your jacket off in a public place and discovering that you have white streaks or antiperspirant all over your clothes.

Yes, this has happened to me and unfortuntately more than once.

Thankfully, as I have gotten older, I’ve become wiser and have learned that stick antiperspirant is just not for me and it’s time to ditch the ick.

I’ve tried a variety of sprays over the years but have had a hard time finding something that was a good fit for me. I didn’t want something that left that uncomfortable wet feeling behind but I also wanted something that offered the protection I would need when chasing around a bunch of little kids.

Of course, I wasn’t the only person facing this problem, Alex (as usual) was right by my side!

Thankfully we have both found new products that work for each of us and as an added bonus, they smell really good!

Allow me to introduce you to DrySpray from Axe and Degree.

I’m not going to lie, I’m hooked on the scent of both of these.  The Degree DrySpray Fresh Energy reminds me of the cucumber melon scent and  Alex happens to love the cucumber melon scent so, of course, he loves that I have been using this.

As for the Axe, he’s been using it for a good two weeks now and I cannot get enough of it.  It has a scent that reminds me of something from the 90’s but I can’t quite put my finger on what.

You can protect yourself from those embarassing moments by picking up some DrySpray Antiperspirant today!

It’s time for your to ditch the ick and try dry!

The NEW Dry Spray Antiperspirants from Degree Men, Degree Women, Dove, Dove Men+Care and Axe, available at Walmart.

A few weeks ago, before I made my way down to Milwaukee for an event, I decided it was time to make time for me. I made an appointment at my favorite salon and finally got my haircut and styled.  It was amazing.  It was at that moment that I decided it was time for me, to feel beautiful, for me.

Now don’t get me wrong, Alex tells me all the time that he thinks I’m beautiful and that he loves me without the makeup, hair pulled back in a ponytail or bun, wearing my glasses and lounging in yoga pants and a tank top or t-shirt.

It makes me happy to know that he always sees the beauty in me but it is something that I definitely struggle with. After having 5 kids, gaining a lot of weight from pregnancies, depression and my addiction to delicious food, I need to do what makes me feel beautiful.

After I attended that event in Milwaukee and I saw this picture that my friend and fellow blogger Maureen had snapped of me, I felt beautiful that day.

In this picture, I don’t feel fat.  I don’t see the acne on my face. I don’t see the gray hairs on my head. I don’t see a mom who spends most days in her jammies eating chocolate while being exhausted and depressed.  

What I see here is me, happy, having fun and feeling beautiful.  That day, that was a good day!

Dove and Dollar General what you to feel beautiful with their latest deal! Now through October 19th, you can save $2 instantly when you spend $7 or more on any Dove or Vaseline products in-store.

So, what makes you feel beautiful?

Picking a woman in my family who is inspirational to me is not a hard task.  Out of all of them (and there are A LOT), the one who inspires me the most is my mom.  Here she is, turning 60 in 9 months and she looks like she is in her 30’s.  She inspires me to be the mom that I am, to be a better person and to be  me.

Seriously, does she look old enough to have 40 and 35 year old daughters and 7 grandchildren??? 

Honestly, my mom is great.  She has taught me how to be the mom I am today and she even loves that I am a stay at home mom. Knowing that she supports my decision to stay home with the kids really makes me happy!

Yep, that’s me and my mom….be jealous because she is beautiful and she is awesome!

New Care for Stunning Hair – My #TryAndTell Story

Leave a comment

*This post is made possible by Walgreens. I received a promotional item in order to facilitate this review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. This post may contain affiliate links.* 

With my wild and crazy hair, I am constantly trying different hair care products in an attempt to tame my locks.  For most of my life, I had super short hair so all I really did was throw some gel or putty in my hair and style it.  Now that my hair is long, my curls are out in full force and my thick mop-top is out of control.

Thanks to our friends at Walgreens, I recently had the chance to try out some new care products on my mop and have found a new love as did Libby. I will start off by introducing you to one of my new favorite hair products,the Natural Infusion Macadamia Moisturizing Light Oil Spray from Suave. This oil spray is the perfect blend of exotic natural ingredients that it makes my hair look smoother and softer while hydrating at the same time.  I like to spritz it into my hand, rub them together and then run my hands through my hair from mid-length down to the ends.  I’ve also noticed that it helps reduce the frizz upon my head as well.

The Libby is now a HUGE fan of the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth – 7 Day Smooth System.   Libby doesn’t have the same curly hair I have but her mane is mighty thick and wavy.  She is always asking me to help her straighten it otherwise, it’s in a pony tail.  

The 7 Day Keratin Smooth System consists of a shampoo, conditioner and heat activated treatment.  This system gives you salon-gorgeous hair every day with ultimate frizz resistance, even through washes! 

Here is Libby on day 3 of her 7 day treatment ready to head out to the local Dancing With Our Stars competition.
I love how her hair has shine to it, is nice and smooth and it’s not frizzy!  The best part of all……this system doesn’t damage her hair! I am going to pick up some more so we can both use it!

We also received a bottle of the new Dove Advanced Hair Series Oxygen Moisture Leave In Foam.

This system moisturizes flat, limp hair while adding up to 95% more body & fullness*. Leave In Foam delicately moisturizes hair and creates a flexible hold to keep hair under control all day long.

Since neither of us have fine or flat hair, we couldn’t really test out this product, but I have passed it on to a friend to try.  I did rub a little into the ends of my hair, as they seemed a little dry, and it did seem to help soften them up once again.

Thank you to Walgreens and these great brands for the opportunity to try these products.

Get Glam Mom Hair with Dove

If you know me in real life (yay, lucky you!) then you know that my hair is out of control.  It’s super curly, super thick, and unfortunately, I started getting gray hair before I was in my twenties which means my hair is also color treated.

Now, being a mom with 5 kids,I don’t have a lot of time to do stuff with my hair, let alone color it on a regular basis.  In order to save money and time, I find ways to make my color last by using products like Dove Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner.

It is because of products like these that I am able to squeeze a few extra (and much needed) weeks of life out of my color before having to cover the grays.

Dove offers great videos on Walmart.com that will show you how you can get glam mom hair!  

If you are looking for a way to get that curly hair without using styling tools, fighting frizzy hair, need to recharge dry hair or just looking for some simple hair-dos, check out Blogger Jordan Reid of Ramshackle Glam and her tips and tricks for beautiful “mom” hair with the help of Dove products!  (I know I need all the extra help I can get!)
