Father’s Day Idea: British Sterling Mens Cologne + Giveaway #SterlingChoices

June 13, 2014 by Stefani Tolson 51 Comments

I received samples for review. No monetary compensation has been received & all thoughts are my own.

One thing my husband enjoys getting as a gift during the holidays is cologne. There is a certain bottle of cologne I buy for him every year at Christmas that usually lasts throughout the year. I was excited to receive two bottles of the brand new British Sterling mens cologne, a favorite from the 70’s with over 50 million sold that is making a new comeback with two fantastic blends – H.I.M. Reserve and H.I.M. Private Stock.

British Sterling H.I.M. ‘Reserve’ — a provocative oriental blend of fresh citruses, bold spices and sensual woods
British Sterling H.I.M. ‘Private Stock’ — which showcases fresh citruses combined with crisp woods, aromatic spices and rich undertones

My husband has tried both of the blends with the Private Stock being his favorite. Out of the two scents, I think the white bottle (Private Stock) smells the best on him as well.

For those looking for a Father’s Day gift idea, the pricepoint price on these are only $24.95. This makes for an affordable gift for dad or that other special guy on your shopping list.

British Sterling Giveaway

Two of my LUCKY readers are going to receive a bottle of the British Sterling H.I.M. Reserve and H.I.M. Private Stock mens cologne. One reader will receive the Reserve and another reader will receive the Private Stock. To enter for your chance to win, use the Rafflecopter below:

Keeping Fresh With Dove Advanced Care

June 6, 2014 by Stefani Tolson 3 Comments

“I participated in an Influencer Program on behalf of Mom Central for Dove. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for participating.”

Summer vacation is finally here for all of my kids! That means lots of fun and lots of time outdoors. I like to travel and I love the outdoors. Just last month we went camping and I made sure I didn’t leave home without my Dove deodorant on. Then last week we headed to the river for a picnic and lots of fun in the sun.

If you are going to be out in the sun this summer, you definitely don’t want to leave without your armpit protection. For the last few weeks I have been using the Dove Advanced Care. Not only does it provide you with protection from stinky armpits, it also can give you softer and smoother underarms in just three days. It also offers 48-hour odor and wetness protection and is available in a wide variety of signature Dove fragrances.

What I realized after using the Dove Advanced Care Deodorant is that NOT all deodorants are created equal. I think I just might be sticking with Dove now! Here is what to remember about this deodorant:

Dove Advanced Care moisturizes underarm skin to provide softer, smoother underarms in just three days.
Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant/Deodorant offers 48-hour odor and wetness protection and is available in a wide variety of signature Dove fragrances.

What kind of protection do you use for your armpits?

Dove Advanced Care Review + Steps On How To Give Yourself A Piticure

May 21, 2014 by Stefani Tolson 8 Comments

“I participated in an Influencer Program on behalf of Mom Central for Dove. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for participating.”

Everyday I wear deodorant! Even when it is cold and I know that I am not going to sweat. I even wear deodorant when I know I am not going to leave the house and I know I am not going to sweat. Every time I get out of the shower and dry off, my normal routine is to put on some deodorant.

I recently received a couple of the Dove Advanced Care Deodorants to try in the Revive and the Nourished Beauty varieties. Now I normally buy the same brand of deodorant because sometimes I can be a creature of habit and stick with what I normally buy. I was excited to try these deodorants as soon as I had them in my hand. These deodorants are taller than the ones I normally use and feel like the perfect fit for my hand. I love this deodorant so much I even made sure I had one some in my purse when I was camping this week in Lake Tahoe.

The new Dove Advanced Care is the only Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant that is formulated with NutriumMoistureTM to help to provide ultimate underarm care. The Dove Advanced Care moisturizes the underarm skin to provide softer, smoother underarms in just three days. It also offers 48-hour odor and wetness protection and is available in a wide variety of signature Dove fragrances. My FAVORITE is the Nourished Beauty scent. It smells fresh and clean with a nice floral scent to it.

For those that like to take extra special care of their armpits, checkout these steps below on how to give yourself a pitcure.

Step 1: Exfoliate

Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or wipes to cleanse underarms and draw out impurities. Impurities in the underarm area can cause unwanted irritation (e.g., folliculitis/ingrown hair); exfoliation and cleansing can help to relieve this.

Step 2: Rinse

Rinse the area with warm water and pat dry with a soft towel.

Step 3: Care

Apply Dove® Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant with NutriumMoisture™.

Formulated with NutriumMoisture™ to care for underarm skin
Provides softer, smoother underarm skin in just 3 days
Offers 48-hour odor and wetness protection

These three simple steps will leave your armpits feeling softer and smoother. Women often neglect caring for their armpits, but underarm skin requires the same care given to the rest of your bodies!

Sudsy Box Review

May 10, 2014 by Stefani Tolson 16 Comments

Since I work from home I tend to get a little excited when the mail is delivered or if Fed Ex or UPS deliver a package. I get packages often for product reviews but my favorite kind of packages are often the subscription services. When I received an email asking to review the Sudsy Box subscription service I was thrilled. This is a FUN subscription service where your shipments include handcrafted soaps.

I received my first Sudsy Box shipment last week and I could not wait to open the box, unwrap the soaps and smell them. Sudsy Box is a bi-monthly subscription service where you will receive 3 bars of handcrafted soap as well as a FREE gift. The products that are sent are vegan friendly, gluten free and use no artificial colors or fragrances. The gifts can include lip balms, lotion bars, body butter, sea salt scrubs and more. You can also choose to the half year and full year membership as well!

In my shipment I received 3 soaps from Heidi’s Artisan Soap. I received the Orange Mocha Espresso, Morning Mist Soap and Lavender Dreams Artisans soaps. The first day I received my package I had to start using one of the soaps. I am currently using the Orange Mocha Espresso that is made with olive oil, cocoa butter, coconut oil and orange essential oil.

First off I really like the smell of this soap. I can’t use a soap if I don’t like the smell of it. I also like that the soap uses coffee as an exfoliant in the soap. I love the way my skin smells and feels after using this bar. I can’t wait to try the other two soaps I received. I want to mention something else I really enjoy about this shipment.

The labels on the soaps are plantable! The label is handmade Lokta paper from Nepal and is 100% sustainable. This label has been embedded with wildflower seeds. Place the label in soil, keep it water and in 4-6 weeks wildflowers just might grow. We will be planting the labels that we received. I think this is a cool idea!

Out of all the subscription services available, I love the idea of this one. I LOVE handcrafted soaps. I used to make them about 10 years ago and since I still have all my old supplies, the urge is always there to make my own. I don’t have time for making soap so I am going to enjoy receiving soaps from Sudsy Box.

your first subscription box.
