KINeSYS

Playground birthday parties, walking trail meetups and the regular family bike rides, sports and dog walks call for extra help in the sunscreen department.

It is so hard to get used to applying sunscreen.  It’s not something I grew up with but I know it’s no longer an option, it’s a necessity.  Even though my kids have darker skin and tan well it’s just not acceptable as I believe it is damaging their skin.  Damage can take 10 years or more to show up so it’s just a good idea to prevent sun damage.  I’m beginning to think of it as an insurance policy.  

The situation is not going to get better any time soon so it’s something they’re going to have to get used to.  KINeSYS sunscreen is available in pump micro-spray or cream lotion and many different formulas.  The cream formula has a sensitive skin formula containing Titanium Dioxide.

We tested the spray which I really loved as there’s no need to rub it in, just let it dry for a few seconds.  Here are just some of the tidbits you need to know about KINeSYS…

• a sunscreen that’s oil-free, alcohol-free, PABA-free and Preservative free
• Photo-stable Broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection with Parsol® 1789
• Topical antioxidant Tocopheryl Acetate(Vitamin E) to scavenge free radicals
• Hypoallergenic / Non-comedogenic
• Fragrance-free
• carbon neutral AND cruelty free

We’ve had a great experience with this KINeSYS product, I love to use products that won’t harm my kids and help protect them from the elements.  Once you love it like I do you’ll want some for the car, the purse, the beach bag and by your bikes for convenience.  Enjoy the summer!

Super sweet headbands and clips for your little ones at Lemonhead Kidz accessories.  When I read that they made non-slip headbands, or as they call them, Bandeez… I thought to myself, yeah right, these will surely slip through their hair like all the rest. 

Both girls have been enjoying these two products for almost a month but you wouln’t be able to tell, both pieces are in great shape. 

Lemonhead Kidz Bandeez

The Bandeez headband has a velcro that keeps it in place, no slipping at all, seriously it stays put no matter what.  We’ve worn it in very windy conditions and even with a hood over it in inclement weather and it won’t move!  The downside for my girls was that their hair got stuck in the velcro so it hurt a little to remove but that’s the price you have to pay sometimes for hair that doesn’t move! 

Lemondhead Kidz Clipeez

The clipeez are super cute and fun to add to any outfit of hairstyle.  We received a felt flower which is darling but be sure to check out the butterflies and silk flowers.  The most important fact about Clipeez is that they are virtually indestructable.  My girls can be very rough, when they’re tired or bored their favorite past time is pulling things apart.  They have been unsuccessful with these Clipeez!  They are created using a patent pending secret process so you are on the cutting edge with these hair clips!

Enjoy lots of new hairstyles, thanks to the Lemonhead Kidz sponsors and the FRN for the great opportunity.

Winterize your skincare with Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion.  My family and friends did and saw a wonderful difference in our skin in a very short time.

Boy2001 insisted on unscented.  He is a little afraid of all the scents being too feminine but needs good moisture on his knees and elbows every day just the same. He’s been using it for a few weeks now and there’s been a huge improvement in his skin since he’s started using Clinical Therapy.

Your skin may just be a little dry and need the slightest touch of winterizing like me, just apply every night and wake up with soft skin the next morning. 

Skin is soft to the touch and will take you through the day without feeling itchy or scratchy.  Isn’t that the most embarassing thing? Or catching a callous on a stocking or something — talk about mortification! Spare yourself all those potentially embarassing moments by becoming a user.

Maman (my mom) has also become a big fan as she has persistently dry skin.  It’s done wonders for the texture of her skin and she’d recommend it to anyone looking to have a more youthful appearance.

Now about the name…

I must admit the name sounds scary to those of us on a budget.  ‘Clinical Therapy’ doesn’t normally come cheap you know.  It could even involve a doctor’s prescription but rest assured that is not the case!  You can get Clinical Therapy over the counter at your leisure.  There’s no excuse not to get the skin you deserve at a great price available locally.

About the campaign…

Every once in a while you see a cute campaign and think, “wow, they did a great job with that.”  Prescribe the Nation is one such campaign.  Vaseline recruited a lady from a small town of 6,000 in Alaska to see if she would prescribe informally to people she cared about.  After using the product and being happy with the results, she did.  Watch the vids and results of the prescriptions from young to old and how they feel about the product.

Fun things to do on the Prescribe the Nation Site:

• Win a vacation to Alaska! click on over and prescribe yourself into a WIN!
• Download a $1 off coupon for Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion
• Meet Petal Ruch and read all the stories

Thanks to the FRN for this great review opp!

Using products that are all-natural and organic is a great way to start the New Year.  The scents are fresh and invigorating – I’m loving that they are not synthetic. 

The Nature’s Baby Conditioner & Detangler is the best I’ve ever tried.  I LOVE this for girl2004′s hair which is the most unmanageable hair ever. 

Her hair is very dull and gets matted up every night, except when I use this.  My method is to wash her hair, comb through as best as I can, apply a very liberal helping of this leave-in conditioner and finish combing through. 

Her hair takes a long time to dry but it’s not stiff, still very soft and guess what? lasts for a solid three days without losing the spring in her curls and without getting matted overnight! this is such a winner I cannot even tell you.  When I wash it next there’s still a difference which makes the job progressively easier. 

All the products I’ve tried are really good, so good in fact that they’re being carried in Target.  The second thing I HIGHLY recommend is the Nature’s Baby Ah-Choo! Chest Rub.  I am a big fan of chest rubs in the winter, at the first sign of sickness kids go in a warm shower or bath, get a rub down, comfy pajamas and a chest rub. I’ve been using Vick’s Vapo Rub for decades but I am a total convert to Ah-Choo! It feels safer and better for my kids and it spreads like room temperature butter (am I in baking mode or what?!).  Make sure you stock up, the containers are 2 oz!

Keep these facts in mind about the entire Nature’s Baby Organics line:

• NO Parabens
• NO Phthalates
• NO Propylene Glycol
• NO DEA
• NO Synthetic Fragrances
• NO Sulfates (SLS)

Be sure to check out Nature’s Baby Organics, they have fabulous products, it’s worth getting things that will keep your family looking good in a safe way.

The first product for review is nothing short of amazing!  All Natural Shaving Oil™ comes in a teeny tiny bottle (1/2 ounce) that will facilitate 100 shaves!

Just wet your skin, I did in the shower, put about 5 drops onto your skin and rub in.  Shave as normal, rinsing your razor. Your reward: no clogged pores, no razor burn!  Easy to use and a great fresh scent that left my legs silkier and smoother than ever!

I cut myself around the knee once and quickly pulled out the Nick Stick. It stings but you know that’s good, shortly after the bleeding stops! what a relief, no more tissue paper and blood droplets on clothes!   

These two products from Pacific Shaving Company have helped change something I consider a chore into something a bit less stubbly.  I must mention that my husband has taken notice!

All Natural Shaving Oil™ and Nick Stick are available @ CVS, Whole Foods, Drugstore.com and Harmon Discount Health & Beauty.

Miss Oops has done it again!  My feet have already fallen in love with Miss Oops! Pedicure in a Bottle quite some time ago.  Now there’s a product that effortlessly covers the old muffin top, crack in jeans and anything else in that mid section that needs covering up.

Butt cleavage needs to be banished so help spread the word on this innovative and desperately needed product.

I usually go right past all their product but I was so impressed with girl2004′s results (coupled with the fact that I’m out of my favorite… Oopsy Daisy!) prompted me to purchase the product that was used to detangle and condition her hair.

No Yellin’ Melon Cream Conditioner smells divine and helps detangle hair effortlessly.  It’s a good choice if you’ve got lots of tangles to get through.  It does weight down hair but with girl2004′s bouncy curls, that’s a good thing!  It keeps them down while seperating them.  Buy for $6.99

It will have you scratching your head wondering, why didn’t I think of that!?  A headband that can cover your ears and get the hair off your neck and face WITHOUT having to use an elastic band.  You know when you’ve blown your hair out you don’t really want to make that dent in it.  Tassi to the rescue! 

www.tassicompany.com headbands come in a wide selection of colors.  It’s also a great gift for anyone you shop for so think ahead and get one for yourself and all your friends!

brush my teeth

brush my teeth

this is the way I brush my teeth

early in the morning/ right after dinner/when mommy makes me!

We have toothbrushing issues, it’s usually me singing this song and begging my kids to brush their teeth.  It’s weird, they are just “too busy” to stop and brush their teeth.  Anyway, I know they’ll catch on some day, or at least I hope! 

I for one AM happy to brush my teeth, and especially pleased now that I’ve found Recycline’s Preserve Everyday toothbrushes.  Here are just some of the reasons I’m thrilled:

• made from recycled plastic like yogurt cups
• nylon bristles that come in Medium, Soft and Ultra Soft
• the packaging tube has vent holes and can be used as a carrying case, great for purse, travel, gym or just to keep the dust off at home
• FREE! postage-paid return to the Recycline so the plastic handles and case can be used in plastic lumber that will create picnic tables and more
• Only $2 @ your local Target!
• ergonomic handle that feels comfortable in hand
• downloadable coupon for $1 off 2 toothbrushes

What more do you need to know?  get one of these and encourage all your friends to do the same, then mail in all at the same time to save shipping energy!
