Fabulous Friday Linky!!!

I think I may be having an anxiety attack! My heart literally feels as if it is going to pop out of my mouth. It sounds so bizarre but it is true. This week has just been CRAZY and knowing the weekend and week ahead aren't going to be any better may be causing these side effects. Starting Saturday I am going to be running around constantly, starting my day off with my first 1/2 marathon then I will go off to meet with my best friend who will be in town (Not to bad.... yet). This will be the easiest day of what's ahead. From there my whole next week will be filled with my 10 year reunion,2 family birthdays and two family weddings which we are invited to all of the weeks events for both of them. I am throwing one of the showers for one of the brides and will also need to finish a wedding cake topper I have been making for one of the weddings. Of course we also have swim lessons, dance lessons and sports. That is life as a mom I tell you. Is your head spinning while reading this.

Well hopefully all of you will have time to enter the fabulous giveaways this weekend. Also don't forget to enter the 3 current giveaways going on at Catch the Drift...

(CLOSED) Hair Coverings review and giveaway!!!



Shopping for clothing is fun, but nothing gets better than finding the perfect hair accessories to go with your brand new outfits. To begin, you are going to want to have lots of options to look through and I have just the site to direst you to. HairCoverings.com carries just about every head accessory imagined and with a variety of colors and styles. You can go with a simple Hair Clip or with a beautiful Feather Headband. Also you can find bandanas, head scarfs and other hair coverings that are great for fashion or can be used as a hair loss coverings



I have reviewed products from The Hair Coverings Store in the past. This time I decided to go with something more simple and which could be used with several outfits and styles. I received the black solid cotton wide pre tie headband. (The black solid cotton pre tied headband is 12 inches wide. This is a wide headband that can be folded over for a narrow look). I have worn this several times since receiving it. It is perfect for summer and for those days I want to keep my hair out of my face. It also stays on which I sometimes find difficult with most headbands.

Giveaway: One lucky winner will receive a $25 surprise box filled with hair accessories!

(CLOSED) Personal Microderm review and giveaway ($180 Value)!!



Growing up I always seemed to have fairly good skin. I had my breakouts here and there but nothing that really bothered me about my appearance. Since having babies my skin has changed or maybe it is just age? Either way I have had more reoccurring breakouts which have left behind some acne scars, colors changing in my skin causing uneven skin tones on my face and dry skin. I have defiantly become more self conscious.

I had been hearing a lot more on Microdermabrasion and even tried the Mary Kay Timewise Microdermabrasion which did make a small difference, but the results only seemed to go so far. My acne scars never really went faded, I still had mild acne and some uneven skin tones. I knew that if I wanted a complete change I would have to look into something more professional and more expensive. Pretty much I decided to give up. Until I was contacted by SkinCareRx.com....

I have worked with SkinCareRx.com in the past and was aware that they carried some of the top beauty brands. They recently started carrying a personal microdermabrasion system the Personal Microderm. This is said to be "just like a professional microdermabrasion treatment but without the cost and hassle". SkinCareRx.com wanted to invite me to review this top of the line products and said they wanted my "HONEST" opinion good or bad. They were so sure I would like the product and I just couldn't turn this opportunity down.

Review:
The review as a success!!! The Personal Microderm cleared up what home microdermabrasion products couldn't. After just one week my skin felt moisturized and smooth. After using only 3 weeks I was sold. My acne has almost completely gone away, my deep acne scars have faded tremendously and my skin tones are so much more even. Obviously seeing is believing so I took before and after pictures which I posted below.


The arrows point to my most troubling areas on my face. My forehead is always breaking out. It seems the sides constantly have acne showing up. As for my chin you will notice my acne scars which have been on my face for at least a year or more.


Here is an even better view of my before and after of my acne scars. All these pictures were taken with no makeup and a recently washed face! Don't you love the even skin tones and smooth skin after the 3 weeks. Trust me when I say the results are even more noticeable in person.

The Personal Microderm is a $180 value. Microdermabrasion is known to improve early texture changes, sun damaged skin, uneven sun freckling, mild acne, and conditions where there is a buildup of dead skin. You only have to use the Personal Microderm once a week and right after the treatment and through the rest of the week, you continue to use a treatment toner and a recovery Moisturizer. I used the M2 Skin Technologies collection which I loved! The Personal Microderm is said to allow the lotions you use every day to have the best effect possible.

Buy It:
You can purchase your own Personal Microderm online at SkinCareRx.com
