Do you live in:PA, OH, MI or NC? Have You Signed Your (3-12) Child Up for this Unique Summer Sports Program?Update-Review on Program!

We were excited to get Sebastian involved in a program like Jump Start Sports, he was really looking forward to experiencing some of the activities that his older siblings participate in.

Check out this action video on the field below-
https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=861068493917361&permPage=1


Practices were held on Mondays only,  and the children learned the concept of flag football.  I thought the program was well organized and the kids really loved participating and being part of a team. They were high-fiving each other on the field and really taking the time to enjoy themselves. Sebastian was already curious as to when the next program would start. I browsed the site and found that the basketball program was next on the list, so I'm thinking of getting him involved in that next.

Sebastian was thrilled to have his own team shirt and to be a participating flag football team member of the Saints!
 
Sebastian agrees that participating in organized sports programs is so much fun!
 
 
The smile of a child that caught his first pass!
 
 
Our coaches always make sure we get our water breaks.
 
 
Is it time to go back out on the field yet?
 
 
Listen closely to the coach guys!

HSI Professional Argan Oil (Leave in Treatment Conditioner)-Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

This was my second Argan Oil Review, you may view the one I did a short time ago
HERE


 I absolutely love beauty products, so any opportunities that present themselves to me are amazing.
The HSI Argan Oil  is actually a leave-in treatment conditioner, that literally felt like true "liquid gold" on my hair.. Just a small about in your hand, and  a quick finger-comb through, is like moisturizing bliss. I highly recommend this product as a pre-protectant before any of the following:
  • flat iron
  • hair dryer
  • curling iron

This product smoothes hair and tames any frizzy split ends. There is no greasy residue, but do not saturate your hair with the product, just a little, goes a long way.. This exceptional oil is also great for all hair types as well. My hair is so soft and shiny after use, you really must try the product for yourself.  This product can be used on wet and dry hair.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Sky2- Ditritus Machine- The Sky Series by William Amerman-Book Review & CONTEST!

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP7034706e6803baf04fb34b6c9a9c8d07" rel="nofollow">http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png
" />
Book 2 of this series actually takes place a decade before book 1(Sky1 Foundation)
The book leads you cautiously to the back-story of Nick and exactly what has happened to him in his past, and how he became the man he is to date- There are new love interests (Charles & Helena) and Nick seems infatuated with Anna, who is a staple icon in this quick read.



I definitely enjoyed the corrupt political attributes of this story and the constant need for Nick to constantly fix things, by any means necessary. This book will have you waiting, guessing, wondering, and questioning just exactly what will come next. I appreciated the introduction of fresh, new characters, and engaged in the full force of the sci-fi setting. This book will leave you wondering just who you can trust.

Sky1 Foundation-The Sky Series by William Amerman- Book Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

 
 Nick Burke is trapped with his family in a disease ridden, apocalyptic world, with limited space.
How corrupt will Nick need to be in order to save his family and provide a decent life for them? Can he trust a group of people as allies? Are they truly enemies? All of this remains to be seen in this futuristic thriller.

Watch Nick navigate through this book, trying to achieve immunity, and inevitable freedom from the crime and destruction he is forced to execute. This book was a fast, stimulating read, that will keep you engaged until the end. You will be able to thrust yourself  directly in to each adventure with no reserve. You have to keep in mind that there are a few flashbacks throughout this sci-fi treasure that may confuse you initially, but will eventually blend together beautifully.

I was gifted this fantastic book in addition to Sky2- Ditritus Machine which actually takes place an entire decade before any of the happenings in Sky1(are you following?) Read both books in this series to provoke your thoughts, and ignite your imagination...

Remembering Moore, Oklahoma- May 20, 2013- Please Share if you care..

The tragedy in Moore, Oklahoma that claimed 24 lives, including 9 children, still remains fresh in our minds. The EF5 tornado registered as one of the most catastrophic cyclones on the tornado damage scale. May 20, 2013 marks the anniversary of, the loss of 12,000-13,000 homes, billions in wreckage, lost memories, and more grieving hearts than one can count.

 


Rescuers scanned through debris after this vicious storm swept through the town.
Lifeless bodies were discovered, with expectations to find more. Rescue workers sifted through the ruins, while those that escaped revealed their brave narratives of survival.


Our sincerest and most heartfelt gratitude goes out to The  Champions for Children. These heroes protected numerous children during this hardship, and have remained supportive and invaluable in this challenging year after the storm.


 





Please help share this video, which displays an emotional rescue at one Oklahoma child care center-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PL5r9JTlp4xXWrienVxWBopkcBaMuvGe9q&v=rpLj-gGKxco

Save the Children has provided for more than 18,000 Oklahoma children and caregivers since the tornadoes hit last year. Considerable restoration programs in the schools continue to benefit children, while providing imperative skills, and coping methods to deal with emotions after this misfortune.
Get Ready Get Safe programs, assist child care centers, schools, and families, so that they may better prepare themselves in the midst of  tragedy.


Please read & share this checklist which tells how to prepare for Disasters created by Save the Children

Seventh Generation's Critical Campaign for a Toxin Free America


On April 30th, 2014, Seventh Generation's Toxin Freedom Fighter, Zephyr Chaffer, presented a petition which included 120,000 signatures, to Senator Kristen Gillibrand of New York. This petition, geared toward Congress, suggested a nationwide stance against toxic and harmful chemicals laws in our country.


The Toxin Freedom Fighters, adorned in capes, issued this petition in hopes of providing substantial results from environmental testing, which would support the amendment of the 1976 Toxic Substance Control Act.  John Replogle(Seventh Generation President and CEO) was in attendance, as was Kristi Marsh,(Mother of three, breast cancer survivor, and advocate)and David Levin(Member of the American Sustainable Business Council)



The Toxic Substance Control Act is outdated and ineffective, and Americans are concerned about the chemicals and the impact of these toxins in consumer products. There are thousands of chemicals that are currently used in the manufacturing of these products that have not been tested for the impact they actually have on humans, and the environment. This is truly unacceptable. The safety and health of our families is extremely important. Exposure to toxic chemicals may inevitably lead to cancer, other diseases, and future health concerns.




Congress must begin to protect our families.

InstaNatural 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil + Review!

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


My hair is natural and my wavy locks have enjoyed the nourishment of this product for a month now. A little pure organic oil goes a long way. I drop about 4 or 5 drops into my palms, rub my hands together gently and attack my tresses. I work the oil into my scalp and massage it into the strands, and the ends of my hair. I have used the oil after a fresh wash, before a blow dry and on an average day just for moisture. My hair is softer, more manageable, and shines like a polished diamond. I was reluctant to use the oil on my skin, but I tried it, and raved at the way this liquid silk immersed my skin. What is Organic Argan Oil? Well it's equivalent to Moroccan/Liquid Gold. Argan Oil is pressed from the fruits of the Argan Tree[Argania Spinosa], a tree that is native to Morocco and can live up to 200 years. There are many uses for this unbelievable product, I will name just a few of my favorites:

 

  • As a face moisturizer-After cleansing, massage a few drops on face/neck [Argan is considered a dry oil, and is never sticky or greasy, it absorbs immediately into your skin]
  • Leave-in conditioner-While hair is still damp, add a few drops to your hair and scalp, to hydrate and moisturize [don't forget to use the oil on dry hair too, before blow drying, it works wonders]
  • Cuticle & Heel softener-Massage into cuticles to soften and promote nail growth, generously moisturize feet, pull on a pair of socks overnight, to replenish dry, cracked heels
  • As a bath oil- Drop just a bit into your warm bath for smooth and supple, re-hydrated skin results
I love how raw and natural this product is. There are no harsh chemicals or preservatives to complicate things. I have enjoyed using this product from head to toe, and have added it to my daily beauty regimen.

Do NOT Limit Your Salt Intake!

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. The Dead Sea.. you have heard about it before, but what exactly is it?
Let me explain..
The Dead Sea [also known as the Salt Sea] is a salt lake that borders Jordan. This hyper-saline lake contains significant concentrations of mineral salts with saline levels that surpass ocean water. The Dead Sea is one of the world's saltiest bodies of water & has become the epicenter of health research around the world.

Now what about this Dead Sea Mud you hear so much about? Natural black mud is a substance that shares the mineral content of the dead sea-found and extracted from the earth's lowest places. This therapeutic silt/mud stimulates circulation, and refines Dead Sea Mud Soap- I have read extensively about the many benefits:
  • Clears up acne
  • Removes dirt/bacteria
  • Detoxes skin
  • Cleanses skin
  • Hydrates skin
  • Moisturizes
  • Is 100% natural
  • Infuses skin w/minerals
 
You do remember how I feel about my natural products, right? I'm in LOVE with them, in case you forgot! I felt this essential beauty bar had such purpose, containing antimicrobial properties which aid in skin concerns such as:
  • acne
  • eczema
  • psoriasis


I could not wait to try Adovia's Natural  Dead Sea Mud Soap just to see how well it actually could benefit my skin.


I get a few blemishes here and there, and noticed that  I was imperfection free after applying this soap to the delicate skin on my face and body for a week. I also noticed how immaculate my face felt, after a substantial lather and rinse, I felt like I was finally obtaining the deep cleanse my skin desires.

Putting century old dead sea mud on your face and expecting extreme results sounds absurd to most, but it's not unrealistic. My protective coverings all felt stimulated and resuscitated after a few days of use. My skin felt and appeared flawless, with no drying or skin irritation to note. My skin texture and tone transformed delightfully to my satisfaction. Try Adovia's Natural Dead Sea Mud Soap to expedite your skin's natural exfoliation process and restore the PH balance of the skin you're in. Start using this gem in your daily beauty arsenal today!

Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin & Nails Challenge

Go ahead- You know you want to take The Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin & Nails Challenge



I took the 30 day challenge and I would like you to sign up too, and tell me what you think about the product. At the end of the challenge, if you don't love the way you look and feel-You will get your money back! You really can't beat that, can you? I forgot to let you know that there are a few things you also might enjoy such as:
  • Weekly Prizes
  • Gift Certificates
  • Spa Treatments
 -just for taking a mini pledge to initiate a healthy lifestyle and embrace your inner beauty.



You can enjoy the strawberry flavored gummies or the tablets. Personally I thought the gummies were tasty, I can't comment on the tablets, as I didn't try those out. I noticed that my nails [finger and toe] were much stronger and grew like crazy. There was a slight change in my hair, and I may have to try the product for a while longer to see any significant results. I really wanted to notice a bigger difference in the luster of my hair or the appearance of my skin, but I did enjoy the fact that I was consuming just the right amount of nutrients that were needed for my body, and that antioxidants such as E & C, were contributing to the collagen production of my skin. Biotin has been known to promote skin, nail, & hair health- I did notice less breakage, and was really hoping I could find a product that gave me the 3 benefits it promised. I really love products that work, and I love going on missions and receiving product for FREE through Smiley360.

  I would hurry up and try this challenge because this is the LAST month! Sign up now, and let me know what your results were at the end of the 30 days.

The Biggest Beauty Secret in Blogging History Revealed

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


It's official! The FDA approved beauty secret of all time has been exposed, and it's making Dermatologists and plastic surgeons pretty irate. I of course was excited to get my greedy little hands on what is currently known as the "Botox Alternative" Have you ever in your life heard of a natural skincare product that competes with botox?? I personally would never inject my face with  poison, nor willingly go under the knife- So of course I was excited to see how I could appear more youthful in the skin department by simply ingesting a natural compound that already resides in my skin.

So exactly what are Phytoceramides?
Ceramides are a magical compound that naturally resides in our skin, as we age, this compound tends to diminish, leaving our skin dehydrated and lacking the youthful appearance we once enjoyed.

How do these Phytoceramides work?
Phytoceramides originate from rare plants and when taken as an oral supplement work to replenish the skin barrier that is lost as we age and restores the skin from the inside out. Still with me?

A few fun facts about Phytoceramides:
  • Can reduce the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles
  • Can help to replenish moisture in the skin creating a smoother appearance
  • Enter the bloodstream when taken orally which enhances the skin on the entire body


Through Tomoson.com, I was able to review InstaNatural's Pytoceramides supplements, and have been taking them daily for almost a month now. InstaNatural's product combines Ceramide with a healthy dose of  vitamins: A,C,D & E, and wait for it.... these supplements are Gluten and wheat free! I am all about the natural, so knowing there were no artificial ingredients in this product, had me sold.


Within days my skin was literally glowing, and I noticed an improvement in the tone of my skin and it's elasticity as I continued to use the product. I am normally skeptical until I start to see that "change"and then I know that I've found the right product. I can't always believe what Dr. Oz says, I have to try products for myself! My skin is generally dry so it was amazing to see this product actually work to noticeably hydrate and replenish my skin.

I have always been told that I look young for my age, so I  was pleased when people asked if I had done something different, had my eyebrows arched, or had changed my makeup.. I had to tell them that I wasn't even wearing makeup. I have to say that  I was thrilled to find that this product was not a gimmick, but  truly beneficial to my appearance. I am pleased with the overall results and would recommend this natural supplement to anyone. There were no side effects and although the pills are large, you won't regret choking down just one a day- if you have a problem swallowing pills. There's nothing quite like finding natural youth and beauty in a bottle.

You can find the product here>INSTANATURALSLLC

Can a little Hello Hydration Go that Extra Moisturizing Mile?

I certainly could not wait to try my Herbal Esssences Body Wash [Hello Hydration] which I received in my Crowdtap.com sample kit. I was enticed by the delicious scent of coconut extract and entranced by the tropical paradise that greeted me. I  started to lather up and lavish my welcoming skin with this new popular product, and honestly  thought that the coconut scent would greet me in a more intense manner, the fragrance was pleasant nevertheless.


 
I wanted to reach #TheHerbalistas status so I used my 1.2 oz. body wash daily until it was gone.
It takes a lot to keep my skin hydrated, and Hello Hydration did moisturize my skin effectively, but not for a significant amount of time. I was asked on more than one occasion, just exactly what kind of soap I had used by my coworkers, this was a great opportunity for me to plug the body wash and of course brag about getting the product for FREE through Crowdtap.
 
 
 Other Scents Include:
Body Burst
Happy Go Lather
Honey, I Smell Good
Totally Twisted
 

 
 
 
I would love to try the other fragrances, as the amazing scent has always been one of the most influential selling points of the  Herbal Essences brand.  I was hoping for more of  a rich lather than I encountered, but I feel this little wash did it's job.  Join Crowdtap.com today!
