Confident Foundation

Venus & Olay Razor ~ Making Showertime a little easier

Once you enter the realm of mommyhood things that you always took for granted–like the ability to shower at least once a day!

I’ve always made sure that I make the time to take care of myself even after my kiddos were born though! I know that when I start to feel frumpy and run down everyone suffers! Even on the days when I don’t even leave the apartment I’m sure to squeeze in a shower and put on at least my foundation and mascara. It makes me feel so much more motivated!

As I tell my friends, I swear by early bedtimes for fitting showers and relaxing baths in. When I bathe at night I can be sure that I won’t get interrupted and can take a nice, long, relaxing hot shower–or a soothing bubble bath!

On the days I work out I want a shower in the middle of the day, and since I work out at home that means I have the kiddos running around. I usually put Tyler into his crib with a few books and safe toys and take a quick shower. I’ve always believed that it’s important for kiddos to learn how to entertain themselves–and that things like showers for mommy are important! I know several of my friends let their kiddos wander in and out while they’re in the shower–and that’s what I do/did with Amber a lot. Tyler is a whole different kettle of fish, however, and so I put him away for his own safety (haha!)

On days like this quick fixes and helps are always appreciated! And this is why I love the Venus & Olay Razor. Since the bars are built onto it you can just run it over your legs without even worrying about lathering up your loofa. Although I’m not crazy about the bars during a nice relaxing time (they are a bit hard to maneuver so I prefer my regular Venus then) I love this razor for my after workout showers! It even comes with a nifty little suction cup holder so the bars won’t stick to anything, and it makes it nice and handy to grab!

A big thanks to Influenster for helping make this mommy’s showertime that much easier!

Do you have any secrets for fitting that all important shower into your busy mommy day?

Yesteryear Soap Company *Review & Giveaway*

I love soap! Bar soap, soft soap, big soap, little soap, red soap, white soap….

Well you get the idea. But it’s a true story. I even have a cool bamboo tray thingy in my guest bathroom where I display my pretty soaps and seashells while they’re waiting their turn to be used.

I also love handmade things and as such was thrilled to open up a package from Yester Year Soap Company. Their presentation of their soap was so adorable I had to take a picture before I opened it up. What a great gift this set would make for a bridal shower, wedding, or friend who needs some pampering!

In addition  to being pretty the soap is actually good at doing what soap should do–mainly lathering up nicely and smelling delicious! I’ve been enjoying the Cherry Almond bar and always smell my hands after I finish washing them (Is that weird??? It probably is…oh well..I love smelly good things–any other secret hand smellers out there???)

You can find more fabulous soapy goodness on the Yester Year Soap Blog so be sure to check them out! Be sure to check out this awesome post: The YesterYear Soap Company has a ‘Heart’
–someone you know just might get some free soap if you do!

imPRESS Press-On Manicure *Review*

As you might remember  I was sent the new, fun imPress Press-On Manicure nails as part of my Holiday VoxBox from Influenster

I was happy with these overall–they were super quick and easy to put on, did both hands in under 5 minutes. I also love how adorable they are and that they come in so many different patterns (36 in all!), and the fact that they are on the shorter side for fake nails-for me they were the perfect fit and length. The price is also great–$5.99 for colors and $7.99 for patterns, and they’re available all over including Wal-Mart and CVS.

Covergirl Nature Luxe Foundation & Lip Balm *Review*

As all my faithful readers know, I’m a total makeup junkie. To me one of the most important parts of makeup is having good foundation. I wear it every single day and feel naked without it. I wore it when I was a teenager to cover blemishes and now I wear it to even my skin tone out and create a great base for my other makeup. I *love* the Covergirl NatureLuxe foundation! It fit all my criteria for what a good foundation should be-it has a great texture (it even smells good!), great coverage, I can’t tell I’m wearing it once it’s on, and it doesn’t show up on my face (hate that “foundation” look!) The lip balm is *amazing* as well! I normally wear lip balm, and then apply my lip gloss/lipstick on top of it since my lips get so dry, especially in Wyoming. This takes that extra step out of the way for me, and the amount of color it gives is *perfect* as I like to have a little on my lips but mostly play up my eyes. I love both products and will definitely be purchasing them in the future! You can find them at anywhere Covergirl is sold, and it’s thanks to being a Bzz Agent that I got hooked up with this great makeup-so huge thanks to them!
