#EclosBeauty Review & Giveaway

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of éclos Skin Care for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

As a young mother of three I am always looking for ways to help myself feel younger, more my own age, by keeping my skin clear. As I am pregnant and on hormone treatments sometimes this can be a challenge. Recently I was given the opportunity to try éclos Skin Care line and I have been very please with the results.

I was sent a kit that included Facial Cleanser Skin Prep, Cellular Activator Face Serum, Moisture therapy Regenerative Cream, Restorative Eye Cream, Instant Radiance Facial Scrub, Skin Renewal Clay Mask and a complimentary head band. These products are special because they contain Apple Stem Cells that have been shown to stimulate skin stem cells. Along with the new stem cell technology, the line includes plant extracts, vitamins and anti-oxidants to help your skin feel its best.

I have to say that I was super impressed! The only piece of this kit I didn't love was the Restorative Eye Cream due to a minor allergic reaction (this is super common with eye anything on my face). Other than that I have enjoyed using each piece. Completing the full routine does take a little longer than I would normally spend on my face but the finished result is worth it. I would have to say that my favorite piece is the Facial Cleanser Skin Prep. It tends to leave my face a little dry, only before using the Face Serum and egenerative Cream however. After using each of these my face is super smooth which I love!

As a side note, the scent of these face products is wonderful! They smell natural but beautiful and for me it is perfect.

Today you have your chance to win your very own beauty kit! Make sure you use the Rafflecopter below to enter and even if you don't win make sure you get your own kit because this stuff is awesome!

Speakers for Father's Day

This post brought to you by Lenovo. All opinions are 100% mine.

It seems like every guy I know is all about electronics and with Father's Day approaching that means it's time for me to catch up on the latest technology news. One thing I have been investigating is the Lenovo speaker M0520. This speaker has built in amplifiers and a sub speaker but my favorite feature is that these speakers are small and that they use a USB connection so they are easy to use with your computer, laptop, smartphone or other music device.
I think these speakers will be the perfect size to take to school, work, or wherever else we may need them and having a set around the house is going to be awesome! I can't wait to show E what I found and I'm sure even the kids will enjoy them as we take them on trips with our laptops so they can watch movies in the car, something they haven't been able to do in the past.
I think these would make a great gift for father's day, or graduation, or just about any other holiday. I simply can't tell you enough about the great features of these speakers. I personally also love the style. The bright red is super cool and I love the sleek design. The best news is that these speakers are on sale through May 21^st for just $11.99 (plus tax and shipping). What a great deal on the perfect Father's Day gift! Make sure you head over right now before this sale is over.

Organic Gardening

This post brought to you by Whitney Farms. All opinions are 100% mine.

If there is one thing I really want to provide for my family it is healthy food. This can be super hard with toddlers who are picky eaters and I have told you before how allowing them to help plant  a garden can encourage them to eat fresh fruits and veggies because 

they feel it is part of their accomplishment.
One of the nice things for me about planting a garden is that I can control what goes into our food. There are a large range of products available to use on your garden and with a little research you can find choices that will work well for your family.
Whitney Farms® is a company that provides organic soil and organic plant food. They have over twenty-five years of experience in healthy gardening and are an excelent choice for those wanting to try their hand at organic gardening.
Organic garden products are not only better for you to eat but they also help provide a measure of safety for your family as they interact with the garden. I love using organic plant food because it is safer for myself, my kids, and our pets as we work and play in the garden. It is a simple measure that is so much simpler than trying to keep the kids from putting their hands in their mouths as they learn to do tasks like pulling weeds and harvesting vegetables.

CafeWell - A Social Site for Your Heath

This post brought to you by Cafe Well. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am a very busy mom and the last thing I want to do is spend extra time at the doctor because the boys aren't feeling well. This is why I am excited to have found a new tool called Cafe Well. Cafe Well is a social site but my favorite part is the symptom checker. Here I can first pick who has the problem, adult, child, male, female, and then I can choose what part of the body hurts. The symptom checker than gives me a list of possible problems. If it has a problem that fits our symptom I simply click on it to get a list of tips on how to help the problem at home and some idea of what to expect if a doctor visit becomes required.

They also have a wonderful program called Race to the Moon. This is a wellness program available to corporations to help encourage employees to exercise. The big benefit to this plan is that it provides wireless pedometers for each employee. By counting steps, each employee is encouraged to get off the couch and walk. It has also been said to cut down the number of individuals using the elevator and making stairs a fun activity. Race to the Moon is available to select Health America members. Just visit the website and begin setting your goals today!

What health problems do you have at your house? Can the symptom checker help?Or would you rather have a corporate program?

If you fill your prescriptions at Walgreens you may want to check you insurance card before your next visit. Due to negotiation issues, Walgreens can no longer accept Express Script plans.

New Phone

This post brought to you by LG DoublePlay™. All opinions are 100% mine.

This Christmas I am looking for a new phone. I have had my current phone for four years and it is beginning to die. I hate to get rid of it because it has lasted through so much dropping, drooling, and other wear.  I have loved having it and it has lasted so well.

As I shop for a new phone one of the ones I have looked at is the LG DoublePlay™. I love the 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and 720p HD video recorder, that would allow me to capture and share pictures and videos via messaging, email or Facebook.

I am not sure how I feel about the full QWERTY keyboard as right now I just have the standard twelve key phone and I am fairly proficient at it. I am however excited to try out a touch screen although I feel that will also be a big adjustment, and make it easier for my kids to get in trouble.

Overall I feel the LG Double, available exclusively from T-Mobile, is in the running for my new phone but I'll have to let you know what I decide. Do you have a phone that you just love? I'd love to get any suggestions as this will be a new adventure!

Puppies vs. Babies: What do You Think?

This post brought to you by Puppies vs. Babies. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am frequently told how adorable my kids are. Moms in general seem to get this comment frequently about their babies. Who does not love a baby, or at least one that does not live at your house right? They are little and cute and make the silliest faces. Wherever you see a baby you will see grandmas pinching cheeks, aunts buying gifts, dads bragging and moms overworking themselves to keep up the appearances.

Having worked with the Humane Society for a number of years it has come to my attention that you have the same routine with new puppies. For the new pet owner having a puppy is lots of hard work while neighbors give treats, friends bring a new toy, and their spouse is busy showing off how well the puppy can sit.

Have you ever thought to consider which is cuter Puppies vs. Babies? My people today have dogs instead of children. Does this mean they believe puppies are cuter than babies? Now is your chance to vote in the Puppies vs. Babies online contest. The winner will take home $5,000 and the world will know who is cuter. Make sure you go vote today! They're all adorable, good luck choosing!
