#Giveaway Pediped Celebrates 10 Years with 10 Weeks of Giveaways

When it comes to kids, one thing is for sure, they are constantly growing. It seems like when I blink, they have grown another couple of inches, and with that comes the clothes and shoes that they outgrow within just a couple of months. With the warmer weather here, I not only find that it is time to change out those wardrobes when it comes to their clothes, but also get those shoes that are ideal for outdoor play. One company that I have turned to over the years when the seasons change when it comes to my kids footwear is Pediped. I like that with the Pediped line of footwear, I can find shoes for my kids that fit them from those first pairs of shoes on up to those shoes they wear to the first day of grade school! So when I found out that Pediped was celebrating their 10th anniversary, I was excited to share the excitement!

To help celebrate their 10th anniversary, I was sent a pair of the Boys Flex Canyon to review. These are not only a great pair of shoes that will really come in handy when we are out exploring in the warm weather this summer, but I also like that they are made with that Flex technology that each of my kids have enjoyed over the years! The Flex sole gives my kids a sole that moves with them, allowing them to move and play as they please, and not have to worry about the shoes on their feet being in the way. I also like that with the Flex Canyon shoes, they are made for being outdoors, whether we are exploring a nature trail, playing at the park, or even spending the day at the lake in the water, they can go with!

These shoes are both lightweight as well as water safe, so my kids can not only wear them as they play both in and out of the water, but they are also machine washable, so I clean them up after a weekend of play and have them ready for the next adventure ahead! In all, making the Boys Flex Canyon shoes, a great pair to have to help prepare you and your kids for summer!

To help celebrate the 10 year anniversary with Pediped, you can head on over to the 10 weeks of giveaways site between now and June 5th, 2015, where you can enter for a chance to win a years supply of shoes! Also, the wonderful people from Pediped would like celebrate their anniversary by giving one of my amazing readers their own pair of Pediped shoes!

Younique Moonstruck 3D Fiber Lash Mascara

When it comes to doing makeup, I have found that my biggest hurdle can be my lashes. I have tried various mascaras and false lashes in the past, but with having very fine and light colored lashes, it seems to take a lot to make a difference. With mascara, I have to put on quite a bit to try to get the looks I want, to get that fuller look, and with the false lashes, I dont like that weighed down feeling I get from wearing them. So like many others out there, I have been curious on how the Moonstruck 3D Fiber Lash Mascara from Younique, could make a difference.

I was sent the product to review from a Younique consultant. To get started, I began getting my makeup on, as you can see in the picture below on the top, where I have not added any mascara. (please excuse my puffy allergy eyes) In the top picture, you can see that unless you look closely, it does not appear as if I even have lashes, but rest assured they are there, they are just very fine and light colored.


Once I was ready to apply the Moonstruck 3D Fiber Lash Mascara, I found the process to be quite simple and not as difficult as I had expected. First you put on the Transplanting Gel on each eye, once that is on, you put on the Fibers over the gel. To get the Fibers to set and stay on, you just add another application of the Transplanting Gel, and boom, you get some lashes that really stand out and give you that look you are in search of. As you can see in my after picture at the bottom, there is a big noticeable difference, making me a new fan of the Younique Moonstruck 3D Fiber Lash Mascara!

I liked that aside from the basic I was able to create with my lashes, I could find some great tutorials and various looks on the Younique site, allowing me to not only explore all I can do with the Moonstruck Mascara, but also explore the other products that are available from the Younique line! In all, making the Moonstruck 3D Fiber Lash Mascara from Younique not only a great product to get for yourself, but also one to give to mom this Mothers Day!!!

#LoveAtFirstSwipe Try and Share Your Love for Dove Advanced Care for a Chance to #Win


When it comes to my deodorant, well I have been a 1 brand type of girl. In fact, I have tried other brands and variations over the years, but since I was in high school, I have found myself going back to Dove deodorant each time. For me, I think knowing that Dove keeps me feeling fresh and dry helps, so when I was given the chance to not necessarily change brands but change to a different product from the brand I love, I was interested. Recently I was given the challenge, the challenge to go from my current deodorant to the Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant.

I found this challenge one that I was glad to take on, because with the Dove Advanced Care, I like knowing that I can get up to 48 hours of odor and wetness protection. I also found that I really like how smooth it goes on, and how soft it leaves my underarms feeling. The softness is made possible with the NutriumMoisture, which is made up of ingredients that are known to moisturize the skin.

Being a mom I have found many occasions where, during a typical busy day, I might run out of the house without putting on my deodorant. This is a issue that I do not mean to happen, but when it does, I just have to hope I can get through the day without getting too sweaty and stinky. So when I saw that the Dove Advanced Care can help me stay dry and odor free for up to 48 hours, I immediately saw this deodorant as one that was made with moms like myself in mind!

I like that I can start my day, put on my Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant, go the gym, run the kids around, take care of the house while chasing after my toddler, and not have to worry about if I am sweating too much or stink under my arms! Instead, I can focus on the tasks to be had, and enjoy my day, no matter how hectic it can get, without having to question myself if I put on my deodorant or stop to check and see if I stink. Making me fall in love at first swipe with my Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant!

Well right now, you can fall in love at first swipe as well, by trying the Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant, and sharing your love for a chance at winning a trip for 2 to Paris in the Dove Love at First Swipe contest! Right now through 6/15/2015, Dove is inviting women to share their love by creating a love note for Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant, then sharing it on Twitter, Pinterest, or Facebook for a chance to win! So head out now and fall in love at first swipe when you get your own Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant, and be sure to share your love!
