My Thoughts:

One of my pet peeves during the Spring and warmer weather months is mosquitos, gnats, and flies! It's so tough to find products on the market that not only draw them in but also help with getting rid of them. Flypapers are such a pain to deal with and zappers can be dangerous if you aren't careful. When I got the Katchy Duo, I was so excited to try it out! I finished up my cooking one night and noticed a couple flies around the kitchen. I immediately loaded the trap with the glue board. I then filled the scented bait pod. After plugging it in I noticed the fan was relatively silent and had a couple settings for power, as did the UV light. Even the gentlest setting proved to be effective! The fruit flies were gone within the hour. I was so impressed! 

Not only did I love that the trap was nice and quiet, but it was also a great size that didn't get in the way. I found the design to be sleek and nice, and it made a great night light as well. It was easy to set up and helped keep my kitchen clean. I'm looking forward to bringing it with me for camping trips and bonfires in the Spring and Summer months. I can see this being a new essential in my life! I would recommend it to anyone who is trying to keep their home and outdoors bug-free!

Kids have wild imaginations. They can visualize themselves as cowboys, as knights, or as princesses that can save themselves from the villains. There are a million possibilities when it comes to pretend play, but one thing that seems universal is the need for a valiant steed. For hundreds of years, children have played with toy horses, whether it was a stick with carved into a horse's head, a pogo stick, or a rocking horse in the nursery.

Theraplex® Helps “Beat the Heat”.

TIPS TO KEEP YOUR CHILD’S SENSITIVE SKIN COMFORTABLE THIS SUMMER:

Recommended by Dermatologists, Theraplex® Helps “Beat the Heat”.

As balmy summer weather heats up, it is not unusual for people to experience a dramatic increase in perspiration, often causing sensitive skin to “flare up.” This is especially true for children who have eczema. To help keep your child’s skin “cool in the shade,” the experts who make Theraplex® skincare offer summer tips designed to keep sensitivities in check.           

·        To help keep your child feeling cooler and drier, avoid the sun when it is at its strongest (from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m)

·        Apply a sunscreen SPF 30 or higher. Many pediatric dermatologists recommend physical sunscreens as they may be less irritating than chemical sunscreens.

·        If your child has been in the ocean or pool, rinse chlorine or salt off with a gentle cleanser and immediately apply a moisturizer such as Theraplex ClearLotion.  A light, fast penetrating emollient oil spray, ClearLotion has earned the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance. When applied to damp skin, it uniquely wraps around water on the skin's surface, sealing in moisture and replacing the natural oils that water and soap can strip away. After towel drying, ClearLotion leaves skin moisturized for hours without greasiness. And, because ClearLotion is a spray, you will be able to apply it to even the wriggliest of children!

·        Make sure your child drinks plenty of fluids.

·        For added protection and comfort any time of day or night, try Theraplex Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Skin Protectant with natural colloidal oatmeal. It also has earned the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance. This enriched moisturizing formula helps to relieve dry skin with superior moisturization that lasts for hours. It soothes your child’s dry, sensitive skin without parabens, fragrances, preservatives, or lanolin.

My Thoughts:

I've had sensitive, dry skin ever since I was a little girl. Finding the proper lotion and skin care regime has always been difficult. Not only do I try to avoid greasy moisturizers, but finding one that actually works all day to provide relief can be a challenge. When I read about Theraplex's ClearLotion I loved the idea. I've always applied my moisturizers after a shower since the pores are open from the heat. I'm a huge fan of natural oils too, so this product was ideal.

Application of the Theraplex ClearLotion is extremely easy and convenient! After a shower or swim, spray the lotion onto your skin. I like to rub it in with my hands to ensure I get every area. It immediately begins soaking in. Then, pat dry your skin with a towel and you're ready to continue your day! The ClearLotion does not stick or transfer to your towel so there's no need to worry about residue. It also does not leave a greasy feeling on the skin either. I began noticing a difference in the texture and softness of my skin after the first application. After a few weeks I can honestly say my skin looks and feels great! No dry bumps or dry patches! I am excited to keep using the Theraplex Clear Lotion.

“Must-Have” Products For Your Spring Beauty Routine.

As the season transitions from winter to spring, so too must our skincare routine.

Dove Exfoliating Body Polish is the first body scrub from Dove that exfoliates and nourishes for soft, smooth skin. Formulated with the brand’s signature ¼ moisturizing cream, Dove Exfoliating Body Polish nourishes skin as you exfoliate – making it the perfect addition to your spring skincare routine! Follow with a gentle cleanser, such as Dove Body Wash or Beauty Bar.

My Thoughts:

I am a true lover of bath and beauty products! I've enjoyed using Dove for years now and was excited when I heard they released a line of Exfoliating Body Polishes right in time for Spring. The winter months here are extremely bitter. Between snow, ice, and freezing rains, my skin is thirsting for some hydration. Like we exfoliate our face to remove dry skin, our body is often forgotten in that process. Dove has brought forth a product that embraces their signature 1/4 moisturizing formula with exfoliating agents in the mixture! You will get the best of both worlds with this product.

The first aspect of the Dove Exfoliating Body Polish I noticed was that it smelled wonderful! I reviewed the Pomegranate Seeds & Shea Butter option and it was heavenly! The texture was smooth yet thick. It had a whipped texture that spread easily. The Pomegranate seeds were evenly spread through the polish, allowing the user to get enough to spread on the body. I liked to take a small handful and spread it on my loofa. Each time I went into the shower, it felt reminiscent of being at the spa! After use, my skin felt smooth, soft, and smelled amazing! No more dry skin patches! I finished my shower with the Dove Beauty Bar. This is a product that will be added into my regular routine!

Get Ready for Summer with Banana Boat

Edgewell Personal Care (EPC), the makers of Banana Boat® brand sunscreen, announced today the availability of two new product portfolios in mass grocery and drug retailers nationwide: Banana Boat®  Dry Balance™ Sunscreen Lotion and Clear UltraMist® and Banana Boat® Kids Sport Sunscreen Lotion and Lotion Spray with PowerStay Technology®. The new Banana Boat® formulations include the brand’s unique 7 conditions claim and provide a multi-benefit experience for each member of the family.

Banana Boat® Dry Balance™ Sunscreen and Kids Sport Sunscreen with PowerStay Technology® portfolios are tested to stay on in seven real life conditions2 – sun, pool water, ocean water, wind, sweat, sand and extreme heat up to 100 degrees – to provide safe and effective sun protection. Dry Balance™ Sunscreen is available in SPF 30 and 50+, and Kids Sport Sunscreen with PowerStay Technology® is available in SPF 50+.

Solution to Sticky Sunscreen

Reapplication of sunscreen throughout the day, every two hours, is an essential aspect of a proper sun care regimen, but many beach and park-goers alike are deterred by the sticky, weighted feeling of their sunscreens. As a solution, Banana Boat® Dry Balance™ Sunscreen was created, formulated to absorb excess moisture and dry with a soft matte finish. The lightweight, non-greasy formula provides safe and effective UVA/UVB protection and has water-resistant formula for up to 80 minutes that keeps you protected from the sun while feeling dry and fresh, so you can enjoy your day – no matter where you are!

Sport Protection for Little Ones

Often, kids have unlimited energy for playtime so families know they need a sunscreen that can keep up with them! With the addition of Banana Boat® Kids Sport Sunscreen Lotion and Lotion Spray with PowerStay Technology® to the Banana Boat® brand kids’ portfolio, families now have a solution. Banana Boat® Kids Sport Sunscreen with PowerStay Technology® has a mild fragrance-free formula that won’t irritate kids’ delicate skin, while still providing heavy duty protection that stays on strong during activities. The tear-free and sting-free formula provides safe and effective broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and is water-resistant (up to 80 minutes).

For more information about Banana Boat® sun care products, please visit http://www.bananaboat.com or https://www.facebook.com/BananaBoatUS/.

My Thoughts

I love always loved Banana Boat because it doesn't have a heavy chemical smell so like many other sunblocks and it doesn't leave my skin feeling sticky.  The DryBalance line is the best one I've tried so far.  Rubbing this onto your skin is a pleasure. It rubs in evenly, and feels more like lotion than sunblock. Your skin feels soft after using it and it doesn't leave behind any greasy residue.  For my kids, the Kids Sport is a great option. Even in the spring, I use sunblock on them when there outside at the park or playing soccer. This sun block is tear free and has amazing staying power. Like the DryBalance, it feels like lotion. For quicker coverage when you're in a rush, dry the spray bottles.

The varieties I tried were SPF 50 and SPF 30, and these two formulas are perfect for the summer when we're at the beach. With the SPF 30, I can still get a little color without having to worry about getting burned. For my kids and their more sensitive skin, the 50 SPF is the safer choice. They are also water resistant for up to 80 minutes.  It's a great choice whether you're spending the day at the beach or taking a walk along the nature trail. 

If you'd like to learn more about the DryBalance and Kids Sport line or any of the different options at Banana Boat, be sure to visit their website. Look for these products in store nationwide throughout the spring and summer seasons.

Our Thoughts  

I'm always on the lookout for new sandals because, I'll be honest, I wear sandals year-round even though I live in the upper midwest. It gets cold here but nothing beats wearing a good pair of comfortable sandals when we go to the local indoor waterparks, pools or even when I'm running a bag of garbage out to the can.

I received The Green Ripple sandals. Immediately after I opened the package I put them on and proceeded to do my thing. Usually at the end of the night my feet hurt from walking on the hardwood floors, not to mention all the walking I do during the day at my full time job. Since I received the AhhSoles, my feet have not hurt from walking in the evening!

The AhhSoles are wonderfully comfortable and they provide just the right amount of cushion and support. AhhSoles are sandals that I will have multiple pairs of just because I want to try the rest of the line!

If you're looking for a sandal worth the money, AhhSoles are the brand to check out! You can find out more on their website, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or Instagram!
