How I Give My Wardrobe A Splash of Scent

Thursday, April 9, 2015

Thhe Purex brand provided me with a sample of Purex Crystals ScentSplash in exchange for a product review.  However, all the opinions expressed here are my own.

 
I love my clothes and I enjoy taking care of them but there are different tips to keep in mind.  Here's what I do to keep my wardrobe giving off a fresh scent and looking vibrant. 

1// Only wash when necessary.
Just because I wore a shirt for a couple hours, doesn't mean it has to be washed if it's not sweaty or dirty at all.  Some of my shirts are delicate so I can't wash them every SINGLE time I wear them.


2// Hang to dry.
I hang the majority of my clothing items instead of putting them through the dryer.  Not only does it prevent shrinking but drying can be very rough on delicate items so I try to avoid it when possible.

3// Use Purex Crystals Scent Splash.
I use New Purex Crystals ScentSplash in-wash fragrance booster as a way to give my clothing an amazing scent. I just add it directly into my washer.  There are a few scents to choose from and all of them are lovely, including Fresh Spring Waters, Fresh Lavendar Blossom, and Fresh Mountain Breeze.  Even after several wears, my shirts smell so amazing as if they were JUST washed. 



Oh, and one lucky winner will get some coupons for free Purex Crystals ScentSplash!

It's A Miracle + A Giveaway

Wednesday, April 8, 2015

The Dial brand provided me with a sample of Dial Miracle Oil Hand Soap in exchange for a product review.  However, all the opinions expressed here are my own.

I haven't been sick at all this year....that's a miracle, right? Well, that's not exactly what I was referring to when I said miracle.   Actually, the fact that I've managed to wash my hands and stay healthy WITHOUT having my skin look like it was in the desert for a week is a true miracle.

See, I knew that I had to get to the root of the problem. Even if I kept lotion on my hands throughout the day, I knew it would get washed off every time I clean my hands if I wasn't using a conditioning soap.  So I started using Dial Miracle Oil Hand Soap infused with Marula Oil.  It's a deep cleansing hand soap that nourishes skin and keeps your hands hydrated, all while getting them squeaky clean.  And not only does Marula Oil smell AMAZING but it protects your skin from damaging free radicals. 

It doesn't feel greasy afterwards, but instead lets my skin feel clear and refreshed but not at all dry.  I love how my hands look! It's great to bring to work to use, or to keep at home and let guests enjoy all the benefits.    Beauty is only skin deep right? So make sure you are careful with what products you use on your skin!

How Do I Do It?

Tuesday, April 7, 2015

It’s no secret that I’m a busy little bee not only in the winter months but all year round!  With that being said, it’s vital for me to take a supplement that offers immune support.  On any given day, after I am done with my full time job, I usually spend the evenings running blog-related errands, taking care of my 4 dogs, cleaning, cooking meals for the week, or working out.  Sometimes I have to rush to fit in a shower and some emails.   Everything I do for my blog is basically a second job because of the income it gives me and that means that I can’t waste any time.  I am always on the go and always on schedule to meet the deadlines I have every week.  




People always ask how I do it – stay so energized despite everything going on in my life.  The key to this, at least for me, is to support my immune system. This is why I take Ester-C as a supplement.  It provides around-the-clock immune system support and one serving daily of 1000 mg of Ester-C delivers up to 24-hour immune support 365 days a year.*  




Every morning I start the day by stretching and taking my vitamins and supplements before I start my work day.  Doing something like this is so simple for me because it’s part of my everyday routine.   The best part is that even if I’m on the go or travelling I can still make time to take Ester-C because it’s so important for me to support health even when I’m away from home.  It’s really not hard at all to pack up my everyday items in my overnight bag so I always make sure to do so!




Ester-C can be found in the supplement aisle at Walmart and right now it’s on Rollback!



Also be sure to check Ester-C out on Facebook and Twitter!

Things That Keep Me Going in My Busy Life

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.
I have been up to so much crazy stuff lately and life is a blur. There are a few awesome products I've been using that I wanted to share with you!

Wojo! Wojo is a natural alternative to swallowing bulky vitamins.   I take Wojo on the go with me because literally I can add it to ANY drink.  There are different drinks for different moods.   I have Energy and Calm.  Because after a long day of using Energy, I need Calm! The awesome thing about these is that they are tailored to all different lifestyle needs. Whether it's a pre-workout boost, focus needed for a meeting, or you need to calm down before bedtime, Wojo is a great solution!

  
 
 

6 B Vitamins are packed into each formula which are vital for nerve and cell development.  There's also a blend of herbal extracts and naturally derived amino acids and vitamins specific to each intended drink's use.  And of course there is no artificial sugars, sweeteners, or flavorings. 



 

 Kill Cliff Recovery Drinks - I have been crushing these things down! They are basically an alternative to whatever you normally drink except they are packed with micronutrients that help aid in recovering from strenuous activity and physical exertion. 
 There's no sugar, artificial flavors, 25 mg of caffeine and less than 20 calories!   These things taste awesome no matter what flavor I drank and they are packed with vitamins, electrolytes, and plant extracts and enzymes. 
 I loved the box they came in too! So badass!   They were created by a former Navy SEAL and a portion of the proceeds from every Kill Cliff Recovery Drink that's sold goes to support Navy SEALs and their families. 
 Lip Color! I love Eclissare Color Eclipse Colorstruck Lipstick! There are so many awesome colors and it goes on so smooth. It's very creamy and it gives the illusion of fuller lips.  They are the perfect size to tote...well, everywhere!

This last month has been a whirlwind and with homebuying in the very near future I still have lots to get done.

What are you guys up to lately?

Tidying + Organizing Beauty Products with the KonMari Method

Monday, April 6, 2015


I already showed you my closet after using the KonMari Method but what about all my beauty supplies and accessories?  Well.... without further ado...

So my excess beauty supplies... while I purged a lot of it, I kept plenty that not only brings me joy but is necessary for me as a blogger.   I will still go through and re-KM everything but this is where it stands after my first run through of KMing. I labeled the drawers all nice and simple.  Inside...


 This is my drawer for sponges and brushes.

 Here's my eye makeup and concealer/foundation.











Here's my eyelashes and mascaras.




These are fashion fixes aka foot items, shoe items, and bra items.

Here are my perfumes... and where I keep my purse holders and keychains. 





And here are my sunglasses.




I have 2 little plastic bins for nail polishes and my Gel nail items. 





Then I have a little plastic drawer set for the stuff I currently use on a daily basis. 





Here is my vanity...



 and that's my drawer with all my hair supplies.


 For jewelry I display it all.  I cleaned out my armoire so I can give that away and have more floor space in my bedroom.





 This is the plastic drawer set that I use for earrings.

I used little jewelry boxes that I already had. 


Honestly, I love that I got rid of so much of the jewelry I never wore and the makeup I would NEVER wear.   It's so much easier for me to find stuff now.
