Happy 1st Day of Summer!

The first day of summer is here, the longest day of the year! In honor of summer solstice, I am sending a FREE ESSENTIALS Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Body Sunscreen AND a ESSENTIALS Lip Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 25 to anyone who becomes a Preffered Customer by midnight tonight, June 21, 2013.

- Formulated for all over the body use, ESSENTIALS Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Body Sunscreen is a lightweight, non-sticky and non-greasy broad spectrum sunscreen. It contains dimethicone to protect skin’s moisture barrier, antioxidant vitamins C and E to absorb damaging free radicals and anti-inflammatory ingredients to protect skin from environmental stress. 150 mL/5.0 fl. oz.

- Because the skin on lips is so thin, this area is highly sensitive and particularly vulnerable to showing signs of dryness and aging. ESSENTIALS Lip Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 25 goes beyond moisturization to provide protective skincare for the lips. This hydrating lip balm soothes, softens and protects lips from the aging and burning effects of the sun with SHIELDrf, an exclusive complex of stabilized avobenzone and anti-oxidant/anti-inflammatory colorless carotenoids for effective UVA sunscreen protection. This non-waxy formula contains collagen-stimulating peptides to smooth lip texture, lipid molecules for long-term moisturization and dimethicone to protect the delicate moisture barrier. Vitamins A, C and E provide anti-oxidant protection, while shea butter, avocado and sunflower seed oil hydrate and moisturize. 4.25 g/.15 oz. each, available in packs of two.

First Pinterest Fail AND Success of The Summer

Today marks the first official day of summer for my guys and what better way to kick things off then a few Pinterest finds. I've been hanging on to these babies for months now.

First was this Fizzy Explosion Bag I pinned from All Things Beatiful.

This was a fail :( In all fairness though, I think it was due to my cheap sandwich bags. Didn't quit give us the explosion we were hoping for. Think we'll give this another go though after I buy some nice heavy bags. The boys did get a kick out of watching the bag expand along with the anticipation. Totally worth a try if you have boys.

Next were these Plastic Cup Rocket Launchers that I pinned from Frugal Fun for Boys.

Awesome! The boys have been playing with these things for almost an hour now. Simple, easy and cheap. This was a huge success that we are sure to do again!

30 Minutes That Could Change Your Life

In case you haven't figured it out, I have recently partnered with Dr.'s Katy Rodan and Kathy Fields, the makers of Proactiv, the #1 acne system in the world. What the Dr.'s have done for acne, they are now doing for aging, sun damage and sensitive skin. They also have a totally reformulated blemish control regimen. However, I'm not here to give you a sales pitch. Trust me, the products sell themselves. If your interested you can learn more here.

What I really want to share is the business, or empire I should say. All I'm asking is for 30 minutes of your time. These 30 minutes really could change your life. Sounds stupid, I know. I was the biggest skeptic till the reality of this business knocked me upside the head. Anyways, back to my point.... There is an awesome Rodan + Fields info call going on *tonight with Romi Neustadt, one of the companies most successful consultants. You can learn more here.

Afterwards, I invite you to visit my website for more information on how you can start you business in as little as 5 minutes. I'd love to have you join my team!

*if you are unable join the live call you can catch the replay by dialing -- 712-432-1085; Code: 523417 anytime following their live chat. 

SOOTHE Your Eczema

Being a food allergy mom myself, mi have come across so many parents struggling with their child's eczema which often goes hand in hand with food allergies. There has gotta be nothing worse then watching your child suffer. I've had eczema on my fingers before finding this amazing product and let me just say it sucked! I had to stop wearing my wedding ring for several months, it itched so bad. So anyways, I had to share this awesome before and after with you.

Zeke
“My 8-month-old son, Zeke, had eczema. His skin looked red and irritated on the back of his knee. I have not wanted to use steroid creams because he is so little, so I applied SOOTHE every day for three days. THE LOOK OF REDNESS AND IRRITATION HAS ALMOST COMPLETELY
DISAPPEARED.”

How amazing is that? SOOTHE is one of four skin care regimens by Rodan + Fields, the Dr.'s behind Proactiv. It's formulated specifically for sensitive irritated skin and facial redness. Like I said, I use it on my hands for my eczema and love it! It's actually one of the reasons I partnered with Rodan + Fields. 

So if you or your little one suffers from eczema, whatever the cause, you gotta check this stuff out. And please, send me your before and after pics! 

A Few Great Organizations And How You Can Help The Tornado Victims In Oklahoma

Stuffed Animals For Emergencies, or SAFE,  is an awesome non-profit organization run completely by volunteers. They collect both new and gently used stuffed animals to be donated to emergency organizations for children in traumatic situations. I have had nothing but great experiences using SAFE as a way to get my kids involved in giving. It's such an amazing concept. If you have kids, your bound to have a ton of stuffed animals. I don't even know where half of them come from, they just multiply. So every so often, rather then throwing them out, my kids and I will go through and pick out the ones that are no longer played with and/or have no meaning. Then we donate them to SAFE hoping that one of our stuffed animals puts a smile on the face of another little boy or girl. It's really easy to donate. For more info visit their website. 

Now I want to share some info I received from Stuffed Animals For Emergencies about two great charities currently looking for our help due to the recent devastation in Moore, Oklahoma. Both are providing relief to the families in Moore. 

First, is Feed The Children in Oklahoma City. They are in great need of stuffed animals, blankets, toys, any kind of baby items, diapers, children's clothes and any kind of non-perishable food items. The items are being sent out as they are received. Here is the address you need to send to: 29 N. McCormick, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73127. If sending gently used items, ALL ITEMS MUST BE CLEANED FIRST INCLUDING THE STUFFED ANIMALS. You can check out a guide to cleaning stuffed animals here on the SAFE website along with some further information.

Second, is Gleaning for The World. They have what is called the Teddy Bear Brigade and they take trucks with emergency supplies and stuffed animals straight to these areas and are currently sending trucks to Moore, Oklahoma. If you would like to help by donating your stuffed animals, you can send them to The Teddy Bear Brigade at 7539 Stage Road / P.O. Box 645 Concord, VA 24538. Here is a
