I can't keep this goodie from you any longer!

I have black eyes ALL of the time! It doesn't make a difference whether if I sleep or not, drink or not, do or do not have allergies... Those black circles are always there!

Over the years I have tried a number of products, including Arbonne's RE9 Corrective Eye Cream and Clinique's All About Eyes. I love trying new products and saving money. You can imagine how happy I was when I found this new goodie at my local CVS!

Vichy's Aqualia Thermal

As described on the Vichy's Website:

To deliver maximum effectiveness, Aqualia Thermal Eyes de-puffing, soothing hydrogel is formulated with a unique combination of carefully selected active ingredients:

• Dextran Sulfate: Derived from beet sugar, helps decongest under-eye bags

• Escin: Naturally derived from horse-chestnut extract, helps to increase micro-circulation

• Vichy Thermal Spa Water: Rich in rare minerals to hydrate, soothe and fortify fragile tissues

- Dermatologist & Ophthamalogist tested- Formulated for sensitive eyes- Allergy Tested- Fragrance-free

- Non-Comedogenic

I totally heart CVS. They are carrying some really great brands, including La Roche-Posay, which I will review later on. There are also beauty consultants who are well trained and can answer all of my crazy questions. My consultant described Vichy as a company which uses state of the art formulations and techniques to provide quality skin care.

I have been using Aqualia Thermal for a week and totally see its results. My bags are less prominent and appear lighter. And it only cost $26.00. I even received Extra Care Bonus Dollars when I bought it with my favorite skin cleanser (La Roche- Posay Toleraine). Who can beat that?!

"Hers-Day" Review and Giveaway!

My little peanut has be screaming since the minute she woke up. Poor baby is teething and miserable! I totally get it, but Mommy needs a break. Today I need to take a few minutes for myself, cuz it's gonna be a LOONG day. So as the "princess" sleeps, I am going to take a scream-free shower. This is what I use to spoil myself a little. I love this stuff! It has a mild and fresh scent and leaves my skin silky smooth. It lathers up nicely and is easy to shave with. I have used this since high school. Sometimes the smell helps me forget for a few minutes that I am a 30-something with kids (that is until someone knocks at the door to tell on his brother!). For my second giveaway, I would like share Neutrogena Rain Bath with one of my readers. Let's pretend we are back in high school together! :) &amp;lt;a href="http://rafl.es/enable-js"&amp;gt;You need javascript enabled to see this giveaway&amp;lt;/a&amp...

Review and Giveaway- Sally Hansen Salon Effects

Let's just get this clear. I have NO talent when it comes to anything cosmetic. I can't apply eyeshadow, I look stupid in lipstick, and cannot paint my nails without smudging. So you can believe how excited I was when I found Sally Hansen Salon Effects in my local drugstore. The Salon Effects are essentially stickers, although SH calls then "polish strips". They vary in color, and designs. Some are basic and others are WILD. I have tried Wild Child (a zebra-like print) and It Girl (solid pinkish color). For this review, I applied Bling It On to my toes. You know I must really love you guys to post pictures of my feet! Each box of Salon Effects comes with 16 Nail Polish Strips (in case you make a mistake), a cuticle stick, and a double sided nail file and buffer. 1. I prepped my toes by filing, shaping, and wiping them with nail polish remover . 2. I took off the clear protective cover and pulled the polish ...

Back to school

Do you remember how you felt the first day of school? I was always excited, but really nervous. Who is my teacher? Is she nice? Do I have friends in class with me? This morning I watched my older children start school. Again I had the same feelings. Who are their teachers? Will they be nice? Will they take the time to understand my children. Will my boys make new friends? I anxiously awaited their return today. I could not wait to hear about their day. Can you guess what response I got? "It was good." That's it! After all that worrying and anxious energy I exerted, all I got what that school was "good" and "can I have a snack?" Gotta love kids! Hopefully they will not grow up to be a worry wart like their mom.
