Post Mother's Day $25 Macy's Gift Card 5/18
Just in case you didn't get anything you wanted for Mother's Day or maybe you are not a mother, you can now celebrate a little bit of you with something just for yourself. You don't have to be a mother to appreciate and acknowledge yourself which is why you every now and then buy something to pamper yourself. Pampering can be big or small but when done right, it can turn a bad day into a good day. It can bring a little comfort just when you need it. You might even be working on those New Year's resolutions and what better time to reward yourself?
With summer approaching pretty fast, it's also a good time to start looking at swimsuits. Macy's has a great line of suits for this summer! I personally prefer all black suits but I've always been partial to the color of black. If you win, you can pick out a cute suit that will have all eyes on your this summer!
The Giveaway:
One reader will win a $25 gift card to Macy's!

Father's Day Gift Idea: Michaels & Adorable Baby Clothing
I was trying to think of a nice personalized present for my dad for Father's Day and Pinterest came through. Even though my photos didn't turn out quite as nice as I had hoped, the end product is there. I will probably go ahead and retake some more to get the right effect but here is what I did. After putting the girls in one of my favorite dresses from Adorable Baby Clothing, I was ready to have them hold the letters that spelled out D A D. I purchased the letters at Michaels and will probably pick up a frame since they have great framing sales.
That's my first attempt so I'll see what else I can come up with. I can admit that I'm lost without the photo editing software Picnik. Even though they moved it to Google, it's not the same as many of the features are missing so I hope they bring it back. All in all, I think my dad will like the gift.

Advertising Turnaround: "Exploiting" Men
I've long wondered why everything evolves around half dressed women in the rammed down our throat perception of the "ideal" woman who really isn't a "real sized" woman. Of course there are women who wear size 0, sports size DD bras and is just perfect looking all around but that is not the norm. Given what the average American woman is, I can't understand why we are bombarded with these images of women who look hungry. I also don't understand given the population demographics of our country. We are a country with more women than men. Women work more now so definitely have buying power so why do the commercials and shows cater to men? Do the advertisers really think us women want to have those images bombarded in our heads? Do they want to create a society that we can't live up to? I think it's dangerous on many fronts and then they scratch their heads at the soaring number of eating disorders among girls and women.
I diverted a bit but the topic of this post is THANK YOU ADVERTISERS! I'm happy to see that businesses are now turning the tables and are exploiting men. My oldest saw the Liquid Plumr commercial and immediately thought of me. In fact, every time she sees a like minded commercial, she lets me know. I've even went so far to write advertisers to give them kudos. Maybe if men were bombarded with images of perfect, hot men, they might see how it feels to think you have to live up to the perfect image. I was watching a vodka commercial called Save the Fireman and again, it was of another commercial for us women. I'm glad to see more and more advertisers are figuring it out.
I had to share this one because I love it:

There are more women then men. We have buying power. We want commercials catered to us too!

Healthy Directions Website & DIscount
Have you heard of Dr. Tabor? If not, he has devoted his career to researching and developing scientific and medically based anti-aging solutions, including ground-breaking natural skincare therapies and weight-control products. He focuses specifically on the use of safe and effective skincare ingredients, as his research has found most anti-aging skincare therapies on the market to be scientifically baseless, ineffective, and even harmful.
Dr. Tabor also believes that a woman’s external appearance is a direct reflection of her internal health, and he has made it his mission to develop effective products that contain ingredients that help women achieve total health, wellness, and beauty—from the inside out. He is just one of the four doctors you can learn more by visiting the newly launched redesigned Healthy Directions website and save 15% off your entire purchase with code BLOGLUV.
The Healthy Directions website has been redesigned to provide a highly targeted experience for people to easily navigate and understand health conditions, putting them on the path to good health.

The new site also provides visitors with access to Healthy Directions doctors, leaders in the industry who work with both alternative and conventional practices.
Healthy Directions provides:
- Healthy Directions is a leading direct-to-consumer nutritional supplement company and publisher of alternative and complementary health newsletters, which has been providing doctor-guided health advice to address specific health concerns for more than twenty years.
- Healthy Directions has a strong history of doctor-developed formulations with incomparable safety, quality and consumer service. Their mission is to help people lead healthier, happier lives by providing expert guidance and advanced nutritional supplements from America’s leading doctors of integrative medicine.
- The new website has been designed to help people easily navigate and understand health conditions and to provide them with information that will help put them on the path to good health. It combines the most useful doctor-guided information on how to address, treat, and cope with health ailments that affect a significant number of Americans including: heart disease, diabetes, digestion issues, arthritis, hormonal issues and aging.
- Previously only available via subscription newsletters, Healthy Directions’ rich online content will give consumers access to each doctor's philosophy, information on how to address a specific health issue, and feature answers to the most commonly asked questions related to achieving and maintaining good health.

HBL Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner Review & Giveaway 4/30 ($95.85 Value)
I have wavy or slightly curly hair and it's hard to take care of mostly because I color it, dry it and then use my CHI hot iron on it. It's very abused and I have split ends, very dry hair and it's hard to keep the tangles out. This is one place where I don't skimp out on a good hydrating conditioner. I was offered an opportunity to review complimentary bottles of HBL (Health. Beauty. Life) Hydrating Shampoo, Conditioner and Treatment so I gave it a try for two weeks.
Pro's:
- Softer hair
- Less tangles
- Improvements in split ends
- Conditioner is highly concentrated - I did add water as I applied it (see con below)
Con's
- The conditioner is thick or very concentrated so I had a hard time getting it out of the bottle without using brute force. I did add some water which helped to get it to come out and I didn't notice if it affected the conditioner because my hair still seemed to improve. This could also be a pro because you don't need as much.
- I did not like the fragrance of both the shampoo and conditioner. It wasn't a bad fragrance but it wasn't one that I liked.
Overall, I did notice improvements to my hair and it did help to remove the tangles that plagues my hair. In spite of the fragrance, I'm still using it so that is indicative to the product's effectiveness and how I like it. The Treatment adds an extra layer of defense against the harsh elements I subject my hair to.

My Little Taylor Swift Wannabe
My soon to be five year old loves to sing and even goes so far as to "write" her own songs. She's either dancing, singing or doing something as she's the busiest little bee I have ever seen. I figure with her love to entertain us with either singing, dancing or making us laugh, she will end up being something in the entertainment world. She is a Taylor Swift fan so I'm sure she is inspired by her quite a bit. Both my girls love Taylor and I'm glad because she is one role model I don't mind them admiring.

Bobble Bots Moshi Review <-- FUN!
Are your kids a fan of Hexbugs or do they like robotic type toys? If so, you won't want to miss out on Bobble Bots Moshi Monsters! They are made with high-tech vibration technology with playsets that can be built how your child wants it to be built. The little power houses also come in cute collectible designs such as DJ Quack, Coolio, Honey and many more. What is really neat about the Bobble Bots was my girls were coming to get me every time a commercial was on for them telling me they wanted them so when the opportunity came about to host a Bobble Bots Moshi Party, I couldn't resist.
This is our introduction to Bobble Bots as soon as we received them. They were "tested" out before the party because as good hosts, we had to be able to really show how much fun they are! This was not a problem for them!
Check out our video but please note that we didn't fasten one of the roof's down so it was bumped off slightly.
Which Bobble Bots is your favorite?
Disclosure: I received the Bobble Bots Moshi Monsters sets from Mommy Party in exchange for this post. All opinions are 100% my own.
