Eucerin Lotion Review & Giveaway
Ended: Congrats to the winner C.Allen!!

 

 

 

 

Winter is the time my skin dries out the most. My hands get so dry and it's a pain because I'm always typing and would have to keep applying different lotions/moisturizers that didn't work. It was just so time consuming especially when I have deadlines to meet. I also was wasting so much money trying to find the right lotion.

 

I have tried many different brands, my hands will be so greasy and the dryness still came right back. How many of you has this problem?

 

 Well, I was so happy when I received a email to host a review/giveaway for Eucerin because it was a lotion I have yet tried at that time. I received my package in the mail and I went right for the New Eucerin "Professional Repair", I have to say I'm so excited to share with you the results!

Not only was it non greasy, it was so lightweight! I rubbed in a small pea size amount on my hands and I could feel the softness in less then 3 seconds! I was able to type with no problem and it is fragrance free so when I touched my face it didn't feel as if it was on fire! I have to say I'm in love with Eucerin! It surprised me because it lasted for many hours without me having to reapply more. I was even more surprised later that night after taking a nice relaxing bath I rubbed Eucerin on my feet, I'm ashamed to say they needed some tender loving care because they were so dry! My feet are now as smooth and soft as baby's skin. No more cracked lines and roughness. I can't believe the results, I have tried many different lotions and none can compare to Eucerin.

Funky Monkey Snacks Giveaway Ends 10/27 Ended! Congrats to the winner :
 - Thanks for everyone's entries~winner will be emailed~ 

 

As parent's we all love for our children to eat healthy, These day's so many snack items are filled with ingredients that are unhealthy.  My kids can be so picky so it's really hard to find snacks that are good for them as well as taste good. When asked to do a review and giveaway for Funky Monkey Snacks I decided to look up the ingredients and check out the reviews about them. I'm happy I did because I liked what I read and ran out to purchase a few bags that evening. 

 

My intentions were to purchase the Funky Monkey Snacks for my kids but with all the different  delicious, fun, fruit flavors available I felt like a kid all over again and had to taste them myself!! I couldn't resist trying them out and I can honestly say I'm in love! (shh!) Once my kids tried the Funky Monkey Snacks it was heaven for them as well. They liked them, I liked them AND best of all their healthy!

 

You can't go wrong with Funky Monkey Snacks. I have a bag next to me at my desk that I snack on, not only are they fulfilling but you will get that fruity crunch with the best flavor and all 100% natural fruit! I know it all sounds to good to be true but each bag of Funky Monkey Snacks has 3 servings of fruit, with nothing added - no added colors, flavors, preservatives, or sugars. To top it off their gluten-free, certified Kosher and certified non-GMO! I never would imagine freezer dried fruit  slices would taste so good and have my kids so happy. This is their new favorite snack, I can't go wrong with that!! Were all getting our servings of fruit in.

 

Funky Monkey Snacks has 7 different flavors. Each day I pack a different flavor in my kids lunch bags. My favorite flavor is the Purple Funk! My kids like the Mango OJ and Carnival Mix the best.

The 7 yummy flavors:

 

Applemon, Mango OJ, Pink Pineapple, Bananamon,  Carnival Mix, Java Lime and Purple Funk.

 

 

 How would you like to win your own Funky Monkey Snacks sampler set of the 7 flavors? Keep reading the details below to enter for your chance to win!

Purell - Keeping Kids Happy and Healthy

Our friends at SocialMoms and Purell has teamed up together to bring another fun blogging program for the back-to-school season to talk about keeping our kids happy and healthy going back to class. I have been asked to talk about this as a member of SocialMoms. 

With so many things to do such as shopping for school clothes, meeting the new teachers, making sure your children has their pens/pencils, just checking off the list as the days are counting down it can be easy to forget about "germs". Teaching our kids to cover their mouths when they cough to wiping their nose with soft tissue and always keeping hats with gloves on in the cold weather can be so helpful. Even being around other children who are sick with colds it can be easy to spread germs. We can often forget to remind them to keep their hands clean and sanitized at all times.

Who wants to be going back and fourth to the doctors having to pay high medical bills when all this can be prevented? Attendance is so important for our children, missing days due to colds and coughs can be very hard on their grades.

This is where Purell comes into play to save the day! Purell Advanced Hand Sanitizer is preferred by many leading health professions. Our kids can just dab a little drop on their hands, rub it in and go back to learning. They don't have to leave the classroom to go wash their hands and miss any studies! You can find Purell Advanced Hand Sanitizer at many stores such as walmart, riteaid, cvs, giants, walgreens and more.

 To celebrate, Purell and SocialMoms also have  sharable coupons for you to get a discount on the most popular PURELL® Hand Sanitizer products! How cool is that!!!

So, what are some helpful ideas to help your children go back to school with a smile and be healthy? Please comment below as I'd love to know your ideas!

About PURELL® Hand Sanitizer

Formulation matters. New PURELL® Advanced Hand Sanitizer is scientifically formulated to kill the most germs. Independent tests using FDA methods prove it. Just 1 squirt of PURELL® Advanced Hand Sanitizer kills as many germs as two squirts of any other national brand.* This breakthrough formulation also includes four different skin conditioners that make PURELL® Advanced Hand Sanitizer that will help soothe your skin and maintain moisture – no matter how often you use it. More info on PURELL Advanced Hand Sanitizer: http://purell.com/purell-advanced.aspx

The Science Behind the Breakthrough.

New PURELL® Advanced Hand Sanitizer offers enhanced bacteria killing power in a formulation that makes it mild and soothing on the skin. The scientists at GOJO, backed by their 65 years in skin health and hand hygiene innovation, were able to develop a formulation that maximizes the impact of alcohol on bacteria. This new family of products works by penetrating the membrane of the germ cell more effectively, maximizing the germ-destroying power of the alcohol. As a result, PURELL® Advanced Hand Sanitizer is proven to kill more than 99.99% of the germs on hands. The innovation that became new PURELL® Advanced Hand Sanitizer was so well received by the scientific community that GOJO won the respected APIC 2011 Rutala Award for a paper devoted to the subject. And now we hand the breakthrough to you.

* Ounce for ounce kills more germs on hands than other national brands. Based on comparative study of average pump bottles using FDA Healthcare Personnel Handwash guidelines. National brands based on 52-week IRI scan data.

Cottonelle - Fresh Care Routine

In honor of the Cottonelle Ultra Comfort Care Toilet Paper and Cottonelle Fresh Care Flushable Wipes, SocialMoms has teamed up with Cottonelle and asked for me to share this new blogging program!

Kids are so precious and so cute to watch grow up, as they grow they look to us as their parents to guide them and teach them how to stay healthy and clean. It can be such a pain to constantly repeat myself to my kids to flush the toilet, wipe the seat if you tinkled on it, wash your hands after using the potty, put the seat down, make sure you wipe yourself properly. It never fails in my house to see the toothpaste tube squeezed everywhere besides the bottom of the tube, instead it's twisted all up every which way and toothpaste all out of it with the cap no where in sight!! The soap is always shrinking during showers from being left in their bath water. It can be such a headache to keep up with the kids but at the end of the day I smile because I'm so happy to have been blessed with them. 

It is my pleasure to share with you Cottonelle Ultra Comfort Care Toilet Paper and Cottonelle Fresh Care Flushable Wipes! 

To get that extra touch of cleanliness use Cottonelle Ultra Comfort Care Toilet Paper then use the Cottonelle Fresh Care Flushable Wipes!! The fresh feeling will blow you off of your feet! I can't imagine not using both of these. It feels like just stepping out of the shower.

Here's the fun part, this process has to have a name, is there a name you would like to name it?? How about having a chance to win some awesome prizes for a name? 

To qualify for the year’s supply of Cottonelle Ultra Comfort Care and Cottonelle Fresh Care, entrants must create a name through The Customizer on Cottonelle Brand’s Facebook Page between June 12, 2012, and February 28, 2013. Winners will be selected in a random drawing on a weekly basis. There is a limit of one prize per person. See full terms and conditions on Cottonelle Brand’s Facebook Page or Cottonelle.com.

 About Cottonelle Brand:

The Cottonelle brand provides innovative comfort solutions for perineal personal care. Cottonelle toilet paper is available in three forms: Cottonelle Ultra Comfort Care, Cottonelle Gentle Care, and Cottonelle Clean Care. To help people feel cleaner and fresher than with toilet paper alone, the brand offers Cottonelle Fresh Care Flushable Wipes and Cottonelle Gentle Care Flushable Wipes enriched with Aloe & E.

Seattle - Sights of Your Life

Transitions Lenses and SocialMoms has partnered together in honor of the Transitions Lenses Sightseeing City Tour stop in Seattle at the Washington Brewers Festival and asked if I could help promote this event as well as share my most cherished sights in my life with you!

I think sometimes without realizing it we can take things for granted easily. Our vision is something so important and needed in our life's. Being able to watch the sun set or seeing flowers growing is so awesome.
We have such a beautiful world with so many things to see and nature makes it all possible. It's amazing how we see the color of things such as grass, tree's and animals. Just seeing the sky, the moon and stars is wonderful. Being able to see our children walk and run having fun is a great site to see.

As I type this post I'm remembering a few memorable sites I have experienced as a little girl. One of my most favorite would be when my parents would take me to Long's Park to feed the ducks.  I would sit along side of the water watching the ducks swim all in a row. The mama duck would have her baby ducks following her peacefully. I'd look around and see all of the trees and be amazed how pretty they were. The sun would be bright and I would just be in my own little world. Now that I have kids I take them to the same spot and I watch them enjoy feeding the ducks and being able to experience that great feeling. Without a healthy vision we wouldn't be able to experience these things.
Growing up my mother would always tell me how important our vision is and to appreciate it. I have learned from her by keeping up with eye exams on a regular basis for my children as well. My son and I wear glasses, I make sure we wear them as directed especially when reading. It can be a pain having to clean them sometimes but it's way worth being able to see.

So tell me how does a healthy sight play a role in your family's life? Please feel free to share by commenting below.

For the good news: Transitions lenses, in partnership with Pearle Vision will be in Seattle at the Washington Brewers Festival June 15- 17th 2012. Visit their booth because their offering free vision screenings for the whole family and the opportunity to have your photo taken in front of a scenic backdrop! To read more about this click here.

An Excessive Sleeping Disorder Called Narcolepsy

Share

An Excessive Sleeping Disorder Called Narcolepsy

Narcolepsy (NAR-ko-lep-se)

 is a disorder that causes periods of extreme daytime sleepiness.

Many people like myself know all to well what it's like to have extreme sleepiness different times throughout the day. The sleep attacks can come on at any moment at any given time. I notice my sleepiness hits especially when I'm feeling sad or I'm laughing. As strange as it sounds narcoleptics feel the tiredness come on more when they show/feel any emotion.

 As a narcoleptic my life is so much different then everyone else in my family. Alot of people don't understand this disorder, I get so frustrated when all I want to do is sleep and I get frowns and comments when I'm to weak and sleepy to participate in family activities such as cookouts, birthday parties, get-togethers and the different events that take place where I should be attending. I can honestly say my kids understand and respect the fact that I can't always be awake. It's some of my friends and relatives who can give me a hard time.

Through the years I have read many different forums and posts on the Internet and I notice alot of people with narcolepsy also has trouble with others around them understanding this. I find often people have the misconception that narcoleptics are just "lazy" like as if we have control over our disorder. I just have to remind myself that many people don't understand and just won't except it.

Growing up I was in and out of counseling being told I have depression and being handed a prescription to treat depression because I'd explain about how I was always tired and lacked social activities. It would just be passed as if I would take a pill I would feel better, I knew it had to be something other then depression. I knew the medicine wasn't making anything better and over the years I have tried out many different medications. Finally when I reached the age 24 I knew I had to figure out what was going on. At that time I started doing research on the Internet, I read articles on sleepiness and looked up symptoms others had like me. I went to my Dr. and explained to him about the Narcolepsy articles and showed him what I read. He sent me for a sleep study and that's when I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy. Needless to say I still have take medicine throughout the day to help me stay awake. Medicine won't take the sleepiness away completely but it does help be more comfortable. I'm now awake more through the day and a little more active. I do have my days where I will have to sleep all day.  

It can be hard at times because those who don't know or understand this disorder can be so cruel, not intentionally but it does happen. Not knowing they will laugh or crack jokes. Narcolepsy is not a laughing matter.

I decided to write this post to hopefully spread the word to help people become more aware and understanding to this disorder. I often remind myself about how many more people in this world suffer with much harder disorders, some can't even walk, some people can't talk, there's people with missing arms or legs or has medical conditions that are so painful for them to even enjoy life. I don't feel sorry for myself, I just have a hard time sometimes excepting that I have narcolepsy.

With no cure for Narcolepsy, the disorder usually begins in young adulthood and lasts for the rest of the sufferer’s life. The disorder also may cause muscle weakness. Some people who have the disorder fall asleep suddenly, even if they're in the middle of talking, eating, or another activity.
Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder caused by the brain's inability to regulate sleep-wake cycles normally. At various times throughout the day, people with narcolepsy experience irresistible bouts of sleep. If the urge becomes overwhelming, individuals will fall asleep for periods lasting from a few seconds to several minutes. In rare cases, some people may remain asleep for an hour or longer. Some people who have the disorder fall asleep suddenly, even if they're in the middle of talking, eating, or another activity. In addition to excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), three other major symptoms frequently characterize narcolepsy: cataplexy, or the sudden loss of voluntary muscle tone; vivid hallucinations during sleep onset or upon awakening; and brief episodes of total paralysis at the beginning or end of sleep.  Narcolepsy is not definitively diagnosed in most patients until 10 to 15 years after the first symptoms appear. The cause of narcolepsy remains unknown.  It is likely that narcolepsy involves multiple factors interacting to cause neurological dysfunction and sleep disturbances.
Narcolepsy has no cure, but medicines, lifestyle changes, and other therapies can improve symptoms.

Please feel free to comment below with any suggestions or questions. I'd really love to know how you feel and what you think.
*Please note that you don't have to share that you have or don't have narcolepsy, it's entirely up to you. Please still feel free to comment*

How to Get Paid Blogging

I have been earning money by blogging with SocialSpark, I write up about a 400  word post about which ever topic/lead I choose to blog about from the topics/leads they give me to choose from. In return I earn points for each post I do and trade them in for cash by paypal or a check. Example today I was given a Quaker Oatmeal post to accept or deny, they give you a few days to post it and the points will be there. It's that simple!

Just last month I earned 15,000 points ($1 each point) $15 just for blogging about a Walgreen's post! Does it get that easier to make money? Once you sign up for SocialSpark they will email you when ever they have leads available. I been receiving like 4 leads a month! They allow you to set what ever price you want to get paid for doing each post and find the leads according to your price! Of course you have to be reasonable! But $15 for doing a 400 word post that takes me about 20mins. to post is well worth it to me. That can be a monthly phone bill or cable bill paid.

So, if you have a blog up and running you can sign up as their taking bloggers to publish for them, you don't have to be a "big-time" blogger!!

Congrats to winner: Jamie Brigham

To be honest, these days I'm not really to fond with watching t.v, it just don't really interest me much anymore. But then when I think about the family- friendly shows I'd use to watch as I was growing up that my mother would put on I have to smile.

My sisters and me would sit in an indian style and watch RoseAnne for hours on end!

Up From Slavery:
In 1860, as the American Experiment threatened to explode into a bloody civil war, there were as many as four hundred thousand slave-owners in the United States, and almost four million slaves. The nation was founded upon the idea that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The nation would pay a bloody cost for denying that right to more than twelve percent of its population.

But when slavery was first brought to America's shores, this war, and even the nation it tore apart, was centuries in the future. With incredibly detailed historical reenactments, expert commentary and the stories of slavery told through first-hand accounts, this is an epic struggle 400 years in the making. A journey into the past like none other. This is the story of these men and women who by their hands laid the foundation of what would become the most powerful nation on Earth. Join us as we rise...UP FROM SLAVERY.
