Don't Fret the Sweat

Do you have tweens or kids who are quickly approaching tween years?  If so you know how critical self esteem is at this tender age.  Unilever, the makers of Degree, Dove and Suave deodorant offer support for these difficult times with Don't Fret the Sweat.

The tween years are full of changes.  Whether or not parents are ready, their kids’ bodies are trying to tell them something. Increased hormones are causing noticeable differences like growth spurts and strange new odors. But don’t let the unexpected stink scare you; it’s just a sign of great things to come. 

Unilever - the maker of Degree, Dove and Suave deodorants - wants to ensure parents and kids remain cool, calm and confident throughout the day - especially during those sweat-inducing moments.

Check out Facebook.com/DontFretTheSweat for money saving offers and expert tips, tools and real life stories about how parents are communicating and transitioning their tweens into confident and self-reliant teens.

Bodycology: Island Coconut Review

Advanced Beauty Systems, Inc., was founded in 2003 and is one of the fastest-growing health and beauty companies in the U.S. The Dallas-based company creates innovative, spa-quality product lines that appeal to women desiring beauty on a budget or an at-home escape. Their fragrance-based and aromatherapy products include bodycology® -- America’s fastest-growing beauty brand -- Dr. Teal’s®, Slice of Life™, and Cantu® hair products. Advanced Beauty Systems’ products are available at retail, drug, grocery, and specialty stores nationwide. Advanced Beauty Systems, Inc. does not test the finished products on animals.  I love that about them.  Along with their amaaaazing scents , and their affordable price tag.

Bodycology recently introduced a new fragrance to their lineup.  Island Coconut.  Tempting.The essence of the beach comes alive with the tempting scent of fresh cut coconut and sweet cream.  Complete with moisturizing Aloe Vera, Shea Butter and Nourishing Vitamins E & C.They smell amazing, and the second I sprayed the body mist, I was craving summer and the beach.  The body wash is rich and creamy, and from someone who adores the scent of coconuts, it is just heavenly.  I can close my eyes and imagine myself in a tropical paradise!  My favorite is to use the Island Coconut body wash, and then use my Bodycology Coconut Lime body mist. 

First of all I have to say I LOVE coconut.  Coconut to me just spells
warm summer days, sand and beaches.

Island Coconut body cream by bodycology is exactly as the bottle says:

"Tempting"  The essence of the beach comes alive with the tempting
scent of fresh cut coconut and sweet cream.

The cream  feels so silky soft and smells so wonderful its hard not to  use the whole tube.



Check out the full line of bodycology® products here:  http://www.bodycology.com/products.html.  I really want to try the White Gardenia, and the Cherry Blossom, as well as the Clean Lemon (though I do wish that came in more than a hand soap).

In my area, you can find these at Walgreens, Walmart, and Target... but you can click here, to find out where you can get  bodycology® where you are.

Have you tried any bodycology® products?  What do you think of them?  What's your favorite scent?  :o)

*We were given samples of the new fragrance Island Coconut from Bodycology for the purposes of this review.

Purex Complete with Zout Review and Giveaway

A few weeks ago, I recieved a jug of the new Purex Complete with Zout in Fresh Morning Burst Fragrance.  This new detergent combines the performance of Purex detergent with the triple enzyme stain removing power of Zout. 

Purex Complete with Zout works in both traditional washers and High Efficiency (HE) washers.

 

It is available in two fragrances.  Fresh Morning Burst, which is a light fresh scent, and Free & Clear with a hypoallergenic formula for those with sensitive skin.

 

 

Purex sent me a bottle in their Fresh Morning Burst fragrance.  I love this scent.  I am one of those crazy ladies who will spent forever in the laundry detergent aisle sniffing all the fragrances before I decide which detergent and/or fabric softener to purchase (okay, okay, and sometimes, just because!).  I love to do laundry just because I love the fresh clean scents of my laundry products (now if only I could learn to enjoy putting my laundry away... ha!)  I have two small children, I always have stain remover on hand.  I was thrilled at the thought of one less step for me in the laundry room.  I haven't used any stain remover in the past few weeks since I started using the new Purex Complete with Zout, and I have to say, I haven't noticed any stains on our clothing as I've pulled it out of the dryer.  Happy dance!!!  I will definitely be purchasing this detergent when it is on sale and I have a coupon. 

Would you like a sample of this detergent?  You can get one by visiting http://www.freesamplepurex.com/freesample/!

Even better, would you like a chance to win a free bottle?  Purex has sent me coupons for one free bottle of the new Purex Complete with Zout to mail to two lucky winners!!!
