***Disclaimer: I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for P&G. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. All opinions are my own.*** In my house, running out of clean princess dresses is a crime against humanity. Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but my 5 year old, Sophie, acts like it's the end of the world if all of her frilly dress-up gear is dirty. She has recently become hooked on wearing her fancy duds, and I blame Taylor Swift, 100%. You see, recently, Sophie attended a Taylor Swift concert, and she was totally awe-struck and inspired. It was her first concert, and she was swept away in the glitz and glamor of it all. And of course since Ms. Swift had about a zillion costume changes, Sophie now insists on always being stage ready, too. She even has her own "Wardrobe".
In addition to my little diva, I also have a 4 year old boy,a teenage boy, and a husband who is the service manager at an automotive repair facility. Obviously, I do a lot of laundry. A lot. When it comes to our laundry routine, I try and avoid things like artificial dyes and fragrances. This is especially important since my daughter has fairly sensitive skin and tends to break out and get itchy when she experiences a chemical overload. So when choosing laundry detergents and softeners for my family, I look for products that are gentle enough for the most sensitive skin without sacrificing performance. ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation has been provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Okay, so today, I am going to talk about something a little.....sensitive. I'm going to talk about sex, aging, hormones, and getting so annoyed and overwhelmed with everyday life that you no longer want to get it on between the sheets. This is incredibly common, but people rarely actually talk about it. Whether it's due to the pressures of a career, the sleepless nights of motherhood, or even the uncomfortable symptoms that menopause brings, a lot of women have Nookie Problems.
I'm not going to lie. I am one of those women. Now don't get me wrong, I love sex. A lot. Probably more than most people, actually. But after stressing over how we're going to make ends meet, dealing with 3 fighting kiddos all day, worrying about household chores, and then blogging, I am usually too worn out or irritated to really care about getting laid. I don't know how or when this happened, but it's something that I would like to improve. I mean, I may be a Mommy most of the time, but I still want to feel like a desirable woman once in awhile as well. Recently, I learned about LOVERA. This is a supplement created just for women, and it helps balance hormones naturally. It can help tackle the symptoms of menopause (which thankfully I am not yet experiencing), and it can even increase the libido. Halleluiah! Fairy Tales Hair Care Offers A Safe, Natural Solution For Your Summer Hair Woes #Sponsored6/15/2015 ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation has been provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** My kids are absolutely thrilled that summer is finally here. After a truly brutal Ohio winter, they have been looking forward to outdoor play for months. We tend to spend loads of time outside during the warmer months, and this often includes trips to the playground and the pool. Unfortunately, all the rough and tumble playtime and the chlorine and minerals from swimming tend to leave my kids' hair a tangled, nasty mess.
Thankfully, the folks at Fairy Tales Hair Care know how to tackle these all too common summer hair woes......Naturally! That's right. These wonderful products are made from only the safest natural ingredients. Fairy Tale Hair Care formulas are free of harsh chemicals, pesticides, toxins, paraben and sulfates. And with the growing concern regarding children’s allergies, they are now dairy, gluten and nut-free too!

You can find Pink Tulips on their website, and follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
***Disclosure: I am receiving a promotional item to thank me for sharing this exciting campaign. As always, all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Some of you may remember that last summer, we featured a great ring pool from Backyard Ocean. I loved the fact that it was absolutely idiot-proof to set up, and it wasn't overwhelmingly large. I am a paranoid mama, and my kids are still a bit small and their swimming skills aren't exactly 100% yet. So a smaller, low maintenance pool was a great addition to our lazy summer days.
This year, we will be featuring Backyard Ocean again, but this time with a slightly bigger pool. After all, the kiddos have gotten slightly bigger themselves in the past year! More about that later, though. Definitely keep your eye on the blog in the near future to see more of what this wonderful brand has to offer. Do you dream of your own perfect summer oasis? Thanks to Backyard Ocean, you don't have to venture any further than your own yard to enjoy splashing in the sun. In fact, they are so excited about summer, they are having an awesome Pinterest contest where 3 lucky winners will receive a $150 Gift Card to help create their very own summer oasis. ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation was provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Now that summer is (finally) here, we are spending a ton of time outdoors. Thankfully, the weather here in the Cleveland, Ohio suburbs tends to be absolutely gorgeous during the warmer months. It's usually in the upper 70's to low 80's, with a nice, cool breeze. Of course we have a few days where it's 90°+, but those are few and far between. This is a good thing, since I had to deal with sticky, extreme heat when I lived in Virginia. Honestly, I don't miss it one teeny, tiny bit.
Anyway, summer offers a lot for families in my small town. We have riverfront festivals and weekly live music, there is a killer waterpark just a few minutes away, and there are even cool fountains downtown that local kids swarm to to play in. With so many water-related activities to enjoy, I knew that Sophie would want a new swimsuit. Yes, she has about 30 of them, but she's a girl who likes to have the latest and greatest styles. Luckily, I knew just where to go for an adorable, affordable suit. Biscotti and Kate Mack offers a gorgeous collection of brand new swimwear, perfect for the 2015 summer season. ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation has been provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** In my home, we like garlic. A lot. In addition to keeping the vampires away, garlic is actually very healthy, and a very important addition to any diet. Did you know that garlic actually helps with things like lowering blood pressure and warding off heart disease, and can even help fight off the common cold and other viruses? Not to mention, pure garlic oil is a wonderful home remedy for earaches. So not only does garlic add a savory kick to any meal, it can actually benefit your health in a lot of surprising ways, too!
Thankfully, my kids like garlic as much as I do. This isn't always good for their breath, but that's a different post entirely. While my little ones don't put up a fight when it comes to eating garlic, I know of several kids who do. I guess I can't blame them. To a young child, garlic might be intimidating due to its pungent odor alone. I remember when I was a kid, I was hesitant to eat anything that looked or smelled "funny" in any way. If your kids turn up their noses at the mention of garlic, I have the perfect line of products for you. The folks at Garlic Gold have made it their mission to create a wide variety of delicious, organic garlic oils and seasonings that are sure to delight even the pickiest of eaters....Kiddos included!

***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation was provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Every once in awhile, I come across a company whose mission just speaks to me. Nuhni Blanket Co. is one such brand. Their mission and business practices are definitely something I support, 100%, and I am looking forward to telling you all about this wonderful brand.
I actually discovered this company on twitter. Well, they discovered ME, I suppose. I received a tweet asking what I thought about hemp. First, I had to do a double-take. It's not every day I am asked so bluntly what I think of a material made from a very controversial plant, that just happens to be illegal in several places. (That's changing, though, and it's about time!) .Then, I checked to make sure this was a real company and not law enforcement. Then, I replied with the truth: I am in complete and total support of hemp, and everything else surrounding it. Take that for what it's worth, because I won't say anything more until November, when I will be heading to the polls in support of Ohio legalizing hemp's "Mother Plant". If you're not familiar with hemp, I'd love to properly introduce you. You see, hemp is incredibly versatile, and can be used in a variety of ways. (No, you won't get stoned using most hemp products!) Hemp is fast-growing, sustainable, and has has natural, anti-bacterial properties that kill and reduce deadly germs. This makes it an ideal textile for things like clothing, towels and linens, and even cloth diapers! Hemp's many uses don't stop there, though. You can also find paper and stationery made from hemp, as well as personal care products like lotion, and it's even incredibly nutritious, too! Yep. This ONE PLANT can change the world, thanks to its versatility and sustainability. It's time to get over the stigma, folks. |
