John Frieda Frizz Ease 3 Day Straight Flat Iron Spray Review

Wednesday, March 19, 2014

DISCLOSURE:  I received a free product from Influenster to facilitate this review.  My opinions are my own.

My hair has a little bit of a wave in it.  It's not super curly, but it's definitely not straight either.  I usually either blow dry and flat iron it straight or sometimes, when it's longer, I'll scrunch it and wear it wavy.  Right now, my hair is above my shoulders.  So, I'm heat styling and straightening it pretty much everyday.  It's so damaging!  But, I find my hair starts to look bad after a day or two of not washing and it just does not air dry nicely.

So, I was intrigued when I was sent the John Frieda Frizz Ease 3 Day Straight Flat Iron Spray to try in my J'Adore VoxBox.  I was familiar with the John Frieda Frizz Ease line, having used the serum and heat protecting spray in the past.  But, it was going to be interesting to see how my hair would look after 3 days of not washing!

Our #DisneySide @ Home Celebration Party! Part 2

Thursday, February 20, 2014

DISCLOSURE:  I received free products in order to host the Disney Side @Home Celebration from Disney Parks and MomSelect.  The opinions expressed here are my own.


Party time!

I hosted my Disney Side @Home Celebration Party Valentine's Day weekend.  It had snowed a bunch the days before the party and I was worried guests were going to cancel.  But, luckily, we had a pretty good turn out.

Here are some of the decorations that I put up, including the hanging directions sent in the party kit, hanging paper garland that I made and a Mickey wreath that I put together.  If I had more time, I probably would have put up a lot more!

Our #DisneySide @ Home Celebration Party! Part 1

DISCLOSURE:  I received free products in order to host the Disney Side @Home Celebration.  The opinions expressed here are my own.

My family and I are huge Disney fans.  We recently had the opportunity to share our love for Disney by hosting a party to encourage others to show their Disney Side.

Hosts of the Disney Side @Home Celebration parties were sent a package that included everything we needed to throw a party.  You can read about what was included in the package here.  Ever since the package came, I had so many ideas swirling in my mind about how I wanted to throw the party.  There were different theme ideas, decoration ideas, food ideas and game ideas.  I even started a Pinterest board to try and get myself organized.  But, with work and kids and just life in general, I didn't have the time to incorporate everything I wanted to in the party.  But, all in all, we had a great time and I can't thank Disney Parks and MomSelect (and all the other sponsors!) enough for giving me the opportunity to host this party!

Schick Hydro Silk Sensitive Care Razor Review

Wednesday, February 19, 2014

DISCLOSURE:  I received a free product from BzzAgent to facilitate this review.  My opinions are my own.

I have sensitive skin.  My legs are prone to ingrown hairs and razor bumps, so I tend to use razors with only three blades.  When I was offered the chance to try the Schick Hydro Silk Sensitive Care razor, I wasn't aware that it had five blades!  So, when it arrived, I was very hesitant to even use it and regretted even accepting the campaign from BzzAgent.  I've tried razors with four and even five blades in the past and have always had problems with them.  My legs would end up irritated and I'd have to not shave for several days to calm them down.

The kit from BzzAgent, though, was nice.  It included a full size razor with refills, coupons to hand out to friends and a coupon for a free can of Skintimate Shave Gel.
