Protect & Improve Your Skin with Receutics

This post was sponsored on behalf of Receutics. All opinions stated are my own.

The sun is strong and can do all kinds of damage and the older you get, the more you realize that "tanning" isn't worth it! Find out about Receutics Advanced Sunscreen and how it can help you protect your skin!

I talk about the benefits of living in Florida often... I mean with the beach just around the corner, amusement parks galore, and all kinds of other fun activities - it's easy to see why I love it here. One thing I don't normally address is what the Florida sun is capable of; While the sun is, in fact, the sun no matter where you live, it seems to beam a little brighter in these parts. I used to go without sunscreen when I lived in the midwest, spending hours tanning with friends without a burn in sight, but in Florida after a few harsh burns I realized that lifestyle isn't possible here, at least without protecting my skin!

That's where Receutics comes into the picture. My first few years I lived here, when I would go without sunscreen, I did more than a little damage to my skin. While the added freckles are cute, we can all agree the sun spots, weird peeling spots, and blotchy skin isn't so adorable. I'm loving that I finally found Receutics Active Skin Repair Sun Care to help improve the look of my skin, while I'm also protecting it with professional-grade sunscreen - which is what I should've been doing all along... but I guess you live, you learn!

Over the last month or so I've spent a few seconds each day applying a thin layer of Receutics Advanced Sunscreen before I head outdoors, whether I'm heading off to the beach for an all day adventure or just taking my pups for a stroll around the neighborhood I make sure I apply my sunscreen.

I'm glad to say that my small efforts have benefited my skin greatly! I had weird patches of skin peeling near my eyebrows before and the "beginning" stages of wrinkles were starting to show, now I have nothing but clear skin and a couple of freckles and nearly perfect skin for a 27 year old mama-to-be!

Are you looking to up your sunscreen and skincare game? Receutics Advanced Sunscreen shields your skin from the sun's UVA/UVB rays using powerful antioxidants that protect and even your skin tone - something any woman (or man) with aging skin can appreciate! Not only does Receutics make awesome sunscreen, their line of skincare items include Intense Hydration and Repair Treatments, Acne Clearing Systems, and more and it's all available at your local Rite Aid!

5 Simple Ways to Keep Hair Looking Luxurious as an Expectant or New Mom!

This post was sponsored on behalf of NIOXIN. All opinions stated are my own.

Life as an expectant mom (or a new mom) is full of all kinds of changes, including hair difficulties! Find out how you can improve the condition of your hair super simply in just 30 days!
It's true, I'm a shedder. While I'm currently pregnant and I've noticed my hair has been shedding just a little less, it's still enough for me to deal with handfuls of my own hair falling out. When I was younger I used to joke that my hair was so thick that I'd never have a problem, even with all of my shedding... now I'm not so sure. I've noticed the older I get, the thinner my hair gets and instead of waiting to see what happens I want to get ahead of the shed and keep my hair as thick as possible for as long as possible. Whether your also pregnant or a new mama, you may have experienced something similar and today I want to share a handful of ways to keep our hair looking luxurious, even if it has a little spit up in it!

Life as an expectant mom (or a new mom) is full of all kinds of changes, including hair difficulties! Find out how you can improve the condition of your hair super simply in just 30 days!

1. Sometimes hair loss is related to nutrition and diet, be sure to eat foods that promote a healthy body in general while also including foods that are rich in protein, iron, and Vitamin D! While it's hard to survey the grocery store as a new mom add items like spinach (which is rich in iron) and salmon (which contains plenty of protein, Vitamin D, & an added bonus of omega-3s).

2. As an expectant (or new) mama, your body is undergoing a lot of changes. From hormones fluctuating to adjusting to a new sleep schedule, our bodies are going through a lot. While you should always be taking a vitamin to help keep your body in it's tip-top shape, this time in our lives is the most important time! Expecting moms should make sure to supplement their diet with a Prenatal and new mamas need to be taking a post-natal vitamin to help regulate their bodies and hopefully get their hair growing healthily again!

3. Another step mamas can take to get their hair in the best condition it can be is to adjust their shower routine! After switching to NIOXIN I'm noticing a change in my locks already and it's definitely for the better! I took the NIOXIN 30 day challenge after finding out which system would work best for my hair here and I'm overjoyed to say that this step may be the easiest and most effective way to get my hair back to it's flowing, full look and I noticed it was working within a few weeks whenever my curls looked less stringy and more full & flowing. Paired with the Bodifying Foam 3D Styling from NIOXIN, my hair is looking youthful and bountiful and I'm overjoyed to share my results!

4. Stop pulling your hair back all the time, even if it is the easiest style to achieve - it isn't good for your hair, especially while wet! Instead of reaching for an elastic hair tie each time your kiddo grabs at your hair, think of possibly just pulling it out of your face with a cotton headband or even flipping your hair to the other side out of reach. Keeping your hair healthy starts with treating it right and I've found I have less breakage whenever I stop throwing it back in a pony tail.

5. This last tip is easier said than done, but stress less. Allow others to help you with new mama duties, if possible, and take a break from worrying every now and again. Whether you want to practice yoga for a half hour or color in a coloring book for a couple of minutes between feedings, take time for you and destress! Your hair is just like every other part of your body and if you're stressed all the time, it's going to show in your luscious locks!

Rocking My New Fashion Forward Frames [+ a Discount for You!]


Wearing glasses doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style! Check out these two trendy and fun looks inspired by my new spectacles!

As you probably already noticed, I'm rocking a little baby bump as of lately and that means I've done a bit of growing... not just in the literal sense, but I suppose you could say I'm growing up too. I've finally decided that I can't ignore my astigmatism any longer and it's time for me to start wearing my glasses, as prescribed.

Wearing glasses doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style! Check out these two trendy and fun looks inspired by my new spectacles!

The best part about rocking my glasses again is all the fashionable options on the market now. It's been TEN years since I picked out my first pair and while my eye sight hasn't gotten any better, the choices for frames definitely have!

Wearing glasses doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style! Check out these two trendy and fun looks inspired by my new spectacles!

My first outfit is what I like to call my business casual pregnancy, with a pair of sassy cat eye glasses and a lace-backed vest I felt like I was ready to take on the world. I paired this sassy and sophisticated look with a few casual staples from my closet, a black and white striped 3/4 sleeve shirt, my super comfy jean leggings from a day of discount shopping with my family, and a funky pair of turquoise shoes that are just the bees knees! While I didn't have any official meeting to attend that day, I loved this look and feel like it's the perfect way for me to dress up my bump when I want to feel a little dressy but not go overboard!

My other outfit is way more casual, but my typical style. With a pair of what I like to call my "trendy" or "hipster" glasses, I was able to show off my cool side! I paired this outfit with a cute little pair of maternity shorts, a lace raglan jersey from a recent Stitch Fix, my favorite knitted hat, and of course, a pair of adorable red sneakers to top off my trendy look. I love how versatile this look is, whether I'm going to the local street fair or heading out for a decaf coffee with my gal pal - this is the perfect way to embrace my inner hipster and still rock my super cool glasses with style.

How to Achieve The PERFECT Summertime Glow without The Sun!

You no longer need the sun to look tan & have a summertime glow! Find out how I get my glowing, golden look from the comfort of my own home in mere minutes! #MyJergensGlow

I'll be real with you, every single year I aspire to achieve the perfect tan with a dreamy summertime glow. This year is a little different though, I'm expecting little Miss Delainey and that means my skin isn't the same anymore - I burn easily and I literally can't soak up the sun like I used to! If you've been pregnant during the summer, you know your skin gets a little crazy from all the hormones and you no longer absorb the UV rays like you did in the past... and if you're not one for the soaking up the sun in general, you know how difficult it can be to not look ghostly in photos once summertime rolls around. That was my dilemma, I still wanted to be tan & achieve my summertime glow for all the important events coming up... but I wasn't sure how I was going to do that.

You no longer need the sun to look tan & have a summertime glow! Find out how I get my glowing, golden look from the comfort of my own home in mere minutes! #MyJergensGlow

With two baby showers, maternity photos, and a trip to visit our family on the agenda this summer, looking my best is important to me! That's why finding a way to get the perfect tan and my summertime glow was vital! Luckily, I found JERGENS® Natural Glow® +PROTECT Daily Moisturizer with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 20 just in time, with just the right amount of sunscreen for incidental sun!

Paired with JERGENS® Natural Glow® FACE Daily Moisturizer with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 20 for my cheeks, I feel like my normal summertime self.

Are you wondering how you can achieve the "glow" I've mastered with JERGENS? I'm happy to say, you don't even need the pregnancy hormones or the growing belly for this beautiful look, just grab the gradual glow moisturizer for your body & your face next time you're at Walmart and follow these steps:

You no longer need the sun to look tan & have a summertime glow! Find out how I get my glowing, golden look from the comfort of my own home in mere minutes! #MyJergensGlow

You'll want to start by making sure your skin is super exfoliated and feeling soft! I use a gentle formula with beads to make sure it takes off the dry skin and of course, a loofah is absolutely necessary to buff the rough parts of your body like your elbows, your knees, etc.

You no longer need the sun to look tan & have a summertime glow! Find out how I get my glowing, golden look from the comfort of my own home in mere minutes! #MyJergensGlow

After your skin is perfectly smooth, you'll apply the glow facial moisturizer to your beautiful face. Making sure to apply it evenly, up into your hairline and along your jawline to assure you have no funky "tan" lines!

Wash up your digits and then add some of the glow moisturizer with 20 SPF to your hands and apply all over you body. From your chest to your toes, apply an even layer. No worries about looking streaky though, that's why this glow moisturizer is perfection - it's a gradual formula so you can slowly adjust your color without looking like a zebra! Use it daily, until you achieve the glow you're looking for, then just re-apply once or twice a week to maintain your color.

Now that you're glowing, make sure to embrace your new shade and find the perfect outfit to match! I'm obsessed with neons once my skin is looking tan so I opted for a pair of neon green shorts! If you're looking for the perfect outfit to wear with your new tan, I highly suggest grabbing for a funky  pair of shorts like these or maybe a fun frock in the shade of coral, an all white outfit would be super flattering as well, if you dare, or even a great new peach dress to make your tan skin really pop! Just make sure you choose a fun, new color to show off your new look!

You no longer need the sun to look tan & have a summertime glow! Find out how I get my glowing, golden look from the comfort of my own home in mere minutes! #MyJergensGlow

After your glowing & your outfit is "on fleek", you're ready to take on your day! After applying my new tan, I spent my morning strolling on the beach with my hubby! It was a beautiful morning and I felt absolutely beautiful as well. With the 20 SPF Natural Glow moisturizer on both my face and body, my skin was glowing while we strolled along the water!

While I supposedly should have a natural glow from pregnancy, I 100% am thankful to JERGENS® Natural Glow® that it's not because I'm ghostly white... Are you looking for a way to achieve a tan without damaging your skin? Do you want to get a summertime glow without having to lay out?

Get Amazing Hair with Irresistible Me

While I was provided a free sample of Irresistible Me extensions to facilitate this review, all opinions expressed below are completely my own.

Today I want to share a major help in making my hair look ravishingly beautiful, Irresistible Me. They offer a wide variety of extensions to take your standard mop of hair to the next level with hardly any effort involved.

I've mentioned this on the blog before, but since I have found myself with child I've become even more low maintenance than I was previously. While my appearance is important to me still, I just don't have the motivation to spend hours picking out the perfect makeup or hairstyle everyday... Hey, maybe it's my way of preparing for motherhood? Regardless, I've been finding ways to feel more beautiful without all the effort and I've even shared some of those tips with you recently.

http://goo.gl/sSRRJF

Today I want to share a major help in making my hair look ravishingly beautiful, Irresistible Me. They offer a wide variety of extensions to take your standard mop of hair to the next level with hardly any effort involved. It's as simple as "clipping" the extensions in the right place and making sure they are stored properly when your not rocking them for a night out on the town.

Today I want to share a major help in making my hair look ravishingly beautiful, Irresistible Me. They offer a wide variety of extensions to take your standard mop of hair to the next level with hardly any effort involved.

As you probably noticed, I already have fairly long hair, but having longer hair that appears to be styled already helps me elevate my look and since I can place the extensions in my hair in just a couple of minutes, it's easy to see why I love rocking them so much. You can see what my hair looks like without and with extensions below and it's an obvious difference, but it isn't an over-done look and I was even told the extensions match so perfectly that my own hairstylist thought my hair had grown dramatically since our last appointment, until I admitted I had some help from Irresistible Me.

With a natural look and a fullness that can't be beat, I recommend anyone trying to mix up their look try extensions from Irresistible Me! Are you interested in elevating your look to the next level with extensions? Irresistible Me can help you... or maybe even rock a new, lusciously long ponytail with their help as well! The possibilities to adjust your style are endless and since it's a fairly low-key way to keep your hair looking fabulous, it's totally worth it!

The Worst Stitch Fix Box I've Been Sent + Why I Still LOVE Stitch Fix!

This post contains affiliate links, regardless all opinions expressed below are my own.

Sometimes your stylist just "gets you" and other times they don't. These items are adorable but they aren't made for me! Get the details on my February Stitch Fix and find out why I still love #StitchFix...

Okay guys, if you're a Stitch Fix junkie like myself you may have noticed I skipped sharing my fixes the last month or two. While I've been battling nausea, I'm going to be real and tell you the truth... I actually received a fix in February but didn't like the items that came as much as I have in the past so I delayed a bit; with that said, there's no need to fret, I'm sharing the items with you today. Don't mind my lack of makeup and my wild bun, as I mentioned I was battling nausea so I wasn't feeling like getting gussied up but I knew I had to share my fix!

Sometimes your stylist just "gets you" and other times they don't. These items are adorable but they aren't made for me! Get the details on my February Stitch Fix and find out why I still love #StitchFix...

We'll start with this little get-up. The sweater is a gorgeous shade of cream and has a fun detail to it but it didn't really do much for my figure so back it went. I also was sent a purse that's almost identical to one I already own from a few years ago and it's currently stuffed away in a closet somewhere, so there was no need to keep it either. The last item in the outfit was actually my most favorite, the jeans... the thing is, I had just found out I was pregnant a few weeks before and I knew these jeans that fit me perfectly now, wouldn't fit so well in just a few months so back they went as well.

The next item included in my fix is this funky pinky shirt. While it's a fun, business-casual shirt, it doesn't really match me or my style and the print is a bit to reminiscent of 90's wallpaper, in my opinion... so as you can guess, it went back to Stitch Fix too.

The last item in my fix was the one I ended up keeping so I didn't have to bite the bullet and "lose" my styling fee. This dress will flatter my through out my bump-stages and it's actually pretty comfortable so it was the only item that kind of felt like a keeper. The print on the lower half of the dress is a bit bold for me but I'm glad I kept it, over all.

It's interesting how some stylist just totally "get you" and others are so off the mark it's crazy, I would say this box was the worst one I received... but I got lucky with my most recent fix and that means April's Stitch Fix post will be coming soon!

So, even though they may not send you any "must-haves" one month, it doesn't mean you won't be assigned a stylist that totally gets you the next. That's the beauty of Stitch Fix, getting to try on items you may not always have chosen for yourself and then deciding if they are made for you.

Find The SweetSpot & Save!


Girls get to have all the fun! Find out how you can even make "that time of the month" a little bit more fun with these amazing SweetSpot & U by Kotex products... and SAVE some $$!

Being a girl means we are destined to enjoy the fun stuff like everything pink, sparkly, and glittery. It also means we are able to rock daily attire that includes high heels, tutus, and dresses. We're able to sing the high notes, cry our eyes out during romantic movies, and have pillow fights with our besties during sleepovers. While girls get to have all the fun, we have the pleasure of dealing with mother nature and that leads to the need for feminine products... but that doesn't mean we can't have fun with those products, right?

Summer Pregnancy Must-Haves


http://www.dove.com/trydry
As I've mentioned recently, I'm pretty excited to be expecting in September... but this week, as some warm weather rolled in, it dawned on me that I'm going to be pregnant all summer long. Here in Florida, that means I'll be surviving heat waves by spending time floating on the waves in the Gulf.

Being pregnant during the summer can be a struggle, use these simple tips to make for a more cool & comfortable pregnancy, even when it's super hot outside! #TryDry

Since I plan on spending a lot of time outdoors this summer, I'm already putting together a little extra bag of must-haves to keep in the car, so I can take my essentials along on our adventures. Today we spent a little time at the beach, next week we'll be out on the kayak, and all summer long we'll be going on adventures... I'm not letting pregnancy get in the way of having fun and exploring, I'm just learning ways to accommodate my growing little baby bump I'm starting to grow.

Today I want to share a few quick ways that any woman can combat the summer heat while rocking a bump and I'm so excited to have partnered with Dove to share all the fun with you! Hopefully all the other mama's that will be in their third trimester this summer can find some cool calmness in these simple tips to keep comfortable!

Being pregnant during the summer can be a struggle, use these simple tips to make for a more cool & comfortable pregnancy, even when it's super hot outside! #TryDry

1. We'll go ahead and start with one of the most important parts of nurturing your baby - your nutrition! I'm all about grabbing a couple of healthy snacks to combat morning (more like ALL DAY) sickness. I'm also all about having a stash of water bottles no matter where I am, staying hydrated is my highest priority now that it's warming up out and it'll remain that way!

2. Next on my list of must-haves this summer is Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant, it's the latest beauty trend (you don't want to be the last to try) and it's definitely the only way I'm going to smell and look pretty after a long day in the sun. Why do I love Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant so much? It goes on instantly dry, meaning it leaves absolutely no visible residue.

While it isn't visible, it's providing a full 48 hours of odor and wetness protection, along with Dove 1 in 4 moisturizers for softer, smoother underarms! I find comfort in knowing I'll be able to stay cool and dry with Dove Dry Spray this summer, no matter what adventure I'm on! Plus, I'll smell amazing with the soothing chamomile scent or the original clean scent, to name a few!

3. My next tip may be obvious, but I feel like I must share... Wear as little clothing as you feel comfortable wearing in public. I'm not suggesting you turn into a nudist, start rocking daisy dukes, or throw modesty out the window, but if you feel confident rocking your bikini while spending time on the beach, then go right ahead - just don't forget the sunscreen! Along the same lines, choose clothing that breathes... a flowing sundress would be the perfect way to "suit up" for a night out with your other half.

4. My last little tip is going to be the easiest one to follow, keep things simple. Less make up, more relaxation; choose a pony tail holder with some sass over primping and curling your hair every morning. Instead of working out hard, spend some time paddling around on a kayak or doing a little yoga on the beach. While you and I, both, still want to feel beautiful while rocking a baby bump, let the glow of pregnancy help with that and embrace your natural beauty!

So tell me, what tips do you have for this first time mama-to-be to battle the summer heat? Plus, I can't wait to hear what you think of Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant when you #TryDry for the first time! Go to Dove.com/trydry to learn more!

Proactiv 3-Step System Review

This post was sponsored by Proactiv as part of a Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.


Ever wondered how you can get clearer, more vibrant skin? Try #Proactiv!

I'm constantly in front of a camera, spending time family, or meeting new people so I always want to look my best, as well as do. With that said, you may remember last month when I mentioned that I use Proactiv to treat my break outs that wouldn't seem to go away and I'm glad to say that, with the exception of hormonal breakouts, I've been nearly blemish free!

Ever wondered how you can get clearer, more vibrant skin? Try #Proactiv!

I'm so happy to walk around, make up free most days now that I've followed the Proactiv routine and really made it part of my lifestyle. It's amazing that my little blemishes and breakouts have become a rare occurance and very minimal when they do happen, this is truly something I wasn't sure was possible. But with the help of my favorite face wash, it totally can happen, for anyone!

Ever wondered how you can get clearer, more vibrant skin? Try #Proactiv!

Why do I love Proactiv so much? It does what it says it will. Proactiv clears acne and helps prevent future breakouts, leaving my skin fresh and vibrant instead of red and blemished. Proactiv also provides me with a visibly more hydrated, even toned, and simply radiant complexion.
