Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream - Influenster

So one of the complimentary products in my Influenster Sunkissed VoxBox was the Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream which has six skincare benefits in one step! I posted a review video. You can watch my video to find out what they are, or just keep reading (or both!). 
This all-in-one skin perfecter, sunscreen (SPF 15), and tinted moisturizer evens tone and refreshes dullness, for flawless looking skin. I love the way it feels on my skin and the soft scent it has. It provides light coverage (not like a foundation), but it is perfect for the beach. If you are in a hurry and don't have time to put on a lot of makeup, but still want to look good #nofilter needed, this is perfect. 

Here's a great tip: I added a setting powder on top to go out and it worked out great!

Available in 2 shades: fair/light and light/medium

What are the 6 skin perfecting benefits?
• Refreshes skin instantly
• Brightens for a radiant glow
• Evens tone with a splash of sheer color
• Hydrates for 24 hours
• Smooths for softer feeling skin
• Protects against UV damage with SPF 15

Summer vs. Winter - Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics

What is the biggest difference between winter & summer? 
(Besides the obvious: cold & hot)
Well, I'll tell you... it's my hair!
During the winter it is soft and under control, but when summertime arrives, my hair turns against me and I don't recognize it anymore. Not to worry though because during the summer my hair is usually picked up in a bun which isn't that bad. But this summer is going to be a bit different because inside my Influenster Sunkissed VoxBox I received the Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics (complimentary for testing purposes) in 5 beautifully assorted colors. 


They are made of a silky-stretchy material ribbon which holds my hair surprisingly well. (I have a lot of thick long hair). I love the "knot" they have at one end because it's a cute accent and also gives me something to pull on when I'm wrapping the ribbon around my ponytail. Another thing I really like about these hair elastics is that when I want to let my hair down, I can just wear them as a cute wristband and no one will even know it doubles as a hair ribbon! I give these Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics 5 Stars! *****

Where did the time go?

It seems like only yesterday I was coming home from the hospital with a tiny little special package. I was 18 and he was "just born". Today he is 17 (almost 18), already done with high school, and on his way to college. Children are a special gift from God that always seem to grow up way too fast. It's a bittersweet moment for me because he has become an independent responsible young man, but I miss the little boy that depended on me for pretty much everything. I am proud of him and still praying for him. I guess I will be for the rest of my life. It comes with the territory. Prayer keeps me sane. I too depend on God to protect my children and guide them in the right direction. 
Although I still have another little boy to take care of, I feel even my time with him is flying by. He's 9 and already thinking about being in high school! (Stopping now to take a deep breath and a sip of my coffee)... Time waits for no one. Ain't that the truth?  
Kindergarten Graduation
Congratulations to my sweet baby boy who is now a graduate...and to all of the Class of 2013...may God continue to bless your lives and guide you to becoming responsible young men and women!


Do you have a little one that is growing up way too fast? Enjoy every single moment you have because they will be all grown up before you know it!
