3 easy steps to get your legs & feet ready for flip flop season #my7thheaven #crueltyfree

1. EXFOLIATE --Gives polished skin look; When old skin cells start to pile up on the surface of the skin, it can leave skin looking dull, rough, and dry and it's got to go!  Exfoliation not only helps many skin problems, it also increases blood circulation, which in turn helps you to achieve healthy and glowing skin.

2. MOISTURIZE--Treat yourself at the beginning of the hot season to a luxurious body cream, you will get your monies worth!


3. PEDICURE --you could go to a salon, can get co$tly over time, or DIY at home great nail care items are key. 



 Most people follow these steps for their legs but when it comes to their fee they only focus on the nail, forget about the rest of the foot. 

That's why I'm loving the new line of Specialty Foot Treatments from 7th Heaven. They carry "Dou" sets Soak/Foot Lotion, Foot Pumice/Foot Butter  and a Fresh Feet Cream Talc, so after all the pampering you have odor free feet.

HIGHLIGHTS OF EACH PRODUCT

SOAK/LOTION-- relaxes tired feet & will soften the skin.

PUMICE/BUTTER--pressed peppermint helps remove odor and dry aways dead skin, follower by the soothing shea butter & aloe vera that will nourish dry skin.

FRESH FEET--anti-fungal,cooling cream that dries into a soft powder. Helps keep your feet odor free.

These can be found at Wal-Mart & Ulta Beauty alon with other grocery stores. They sell for under $4. The 7th Heaven Brand is cruelty free 100% natural and great for all skin types.

Now you are ready to hit the boardwalk in a cute pair of sandals and rock your fresh feet with confidence.

Stop the Bath time Battle with @SuaveBeauty Disney Collection #ad

Suave Kids is thrilled to announce its partnership with parenting expert and family physician Dr. Deborah Gilboa, MD – here to help parents bring fun and adventure back into bath time. 

Keep them clean with Mom-approved, kid-fun products from Suave’s 2017 Disney Frozen and Stars Wars collections! The BATTLE is real at my house-with a tween & teen  They both are very active track, soccer, & street hockey just to name a few things. Some days they could do with double showers!!! When my Son saw these bottles he said " We'll NOW I can bathe EVERYDAY."   

Dr. Deborah Gilboa, popularly known as Dr. G, her passion for empowering youth to tackle big issues makes her a favorite family physician, media personality, author, speaker and social influencer.

 She is a family physician, mom of four boys, and inspires audiences with empathetic stories and easy tools to develop  life skills in children, teens and young adults ages 2-22.

 Here are a few tips for making Bath Time easier. 

• 
  
•  “No!” Don’t you love that answer? One great idea for turning that attitude around is to dive into silliness. “I smell like a gorilla. You smell like a gorilla. Come with to wash away the gorilla!” Make your best gorilla (or stinky lion or smelly pot belly pig) noises and get your child excited to get the whole zoo clean. Laughter is a great way to stop a tantrum before it starts.
•  enlist his help in getting those toys (or awesome Suave kids characters!) clean. Those special beings won’t trust a grown up to wash them right, your little one is the person they trust to take care of them.

• Don't be afraid of the cold! Most kids feel happier and regulate their behavior better when they've had a chance to run around and be busy outdoors. If you've had a cranky dinner time, dress them for the weather and get outside for a few minutes. Entice them back in with a warm bath that will thaw them out and get them clean. Grab Suave Kids Disney Frozen or Star Wars to bring the fun inside, and help them create the next great adventure with joy!

Set of 12 #InfuserTumblers, 20oz #Review

I recently tried out some great 20 oz tumblers from Luzy' Storage Place.

 The cups are available in great bright colors with straws to match! These cups

are made so you can add fruit and herbs to the basket and it will infuse your

 drink with great  flavor. I NEED to drink more water.

  

Me and my kids love fruit water but the ones you buy in the store are full of

 junk you do not want in your water or body. Now with these we have real fruit

 water and we  noticed with these we actually want more water.It doesn't taste

 as bland. In the morning I add Oranges, I also  love adding raspberries and 

strawberries. I have also added peaches with iced tea-great for evening chill 

time!

Did you make  resolutions????

 I only have one---to make small goals that I can realistically keep through the year =)

If I list a bunch of BIG ones I know I'll never get/keep---I start on a bad foot. 


A New Year’s resolution is a decision to do or not do something in order to accomplish a personal goal or break a habit. It comes at a time when people look back at the past year and make an effort to improve themselves as the new year begins. Taking small steps is the best way I've found to stick with it!!

So this year topping my list is to make greener choices for my home. There are many different ways this can be done  and one simple step is switching out your cleaning items. There are also great health and environmental reasons to do it

• no stinky chemical smells
• safer for the skin
• helps keep waterways safer

That's why I wanted to tell you about   two very cool new, all-natural, eco-friendly, paraben- and toxin-free personal care lines that I was introduced to

~

Little Twig Calming Lavender Baby Wash (www.littletwig.com) - This all-natural blend of soothing lavender, restorative chamomile and gentle bubbles turns your tub into a sanctuary of tranquil bath time bliss.  Provides aromatherapy benefits that are calming and relaxing, encouraging a better night’s sleep for baby. 

Ok I know it's for my little ones-but honestly after giving them a bath I just had to draw a bath for myself too! EUPHORIC!

They also carry an Unscented and Happy Tangerine line

2. Eco-Me Natural Plant Extract Dish Soap (www.eco-me.com) - Say goodbye to dirty dishes with this all-natural, earth-friendly soap featuring food-grade and plant -based ingredients that are tough on grease, but gentle on hands.  And, it’s non-toxic, so it’s safe to use on baby and kids’ dishes too!
