Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world.
The lazy, hazy hot days of summer calls for an easy breezy outfit which is why I love wearing maxi dresses. Whether I’m heading out for lunch with hubby or running a few errands around town, there’s nothing like the carefree coolness of a maxi dress.
I’ll grab a boho bag, put on an armful of mismatched bangles and a large statement ring, slide into a pair of thong sandals and out the door I go!
Last Saturday was a perfect example of my Saturday Summer Style.
Maxi Dress with sexy side slit
Weekends are unstructured and so is my bag, I’ll just take a few essentials from my weekday purse, throw them into this bag and jet. A large statement ring and a bunch of mismatched bangles compliments the maxi dress.
However, in the summer there is definitely one thing that I can’t leave home without and that is sunscreen for both my face and body.
Summer skin care is vitally important and HSN is currently featuring Skin Care Products made for all faces. The products are available to treat everything from fine lines and wrinkles to oily skin and acne. To read more about these products and to receive skin care tips, click here.
Summer skin care is essential no matter what you are wearing, so ladies don’t forget the sunscreen before heading outdoors to keep the skin you’re in healthy and safe.

Hello Friends and Happy Monday!
There definitely should be an extra day between Saturday and Sunday because trying to squeeze in chores and relaxation into two can be exhausting! I trust you all had an enjoyable weekend and hopefully are half way through a stress free Monday.
Today’s outfit is a simple two piece skirt and sleeveless tank that I must have bought about 10 years ago and thanks to the elastic waistband, I will probably have it another 10 years!
Too much of this makes for a very mellow Monday!
How are you feeling today?

Saturday morning…Ding Dong ….not fully dressed, hair not done so I stayed partially hidden…hopefully they’ll go away….hearing nothing….peered through the side window to see The Brown Man running quickly down the front yard…he jumped back into his truck and drove away….opened the door slowly looking for the familiar brown box delivery…looked left…then right…then looked down…what the…what is this bright orange box…oh wow…my 1st Influenster VOXBOX!!!
Not fully dressed, hair not done…called #2 son to come downstairs quickly...what Ma?…here take this camera and go outside and take a picture...what?...go outside and take a picture of the box on the front step…what is it?...boy, just go out and take a picture…and not too close so you can see our address…what?…take the picture puhleeze (closed the door)…IT’S COLD OUT HERE!
Pic taken now he wants to open it up, grabs the letter opener while I stand aside, heart beating a mile a minute…I’ve read about these boxes but never actually saw one…it was exciting…son slits through the packing tape…lifts the lid and ta-da…this is what “we” got:
Son is not impressed…“Ma…can I have the biscuits, I’m hungry…next time tell them to send a car to test drive”, and with that off he went.
Inside the VoxBox were the following products:
Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer Total Moisture 6.5 oz can
This was by far my favorite product because of the spray-on application which is how I buy my sunscreen. It was not oily or overpowering in fragrance, also not thick and sticky which can be a problem when putting on clothes immediately after applying lotion.
Nectresse Natural Sweetener – 40 packets
I don’t use white sugar and don’t particularly like the bitter taste of artificial sweeteners but this was neither. It’s not raw sugar nor is it an artificial substance, it’s 100% natural fruit extract with zero calories. I used 1 packet in my coffee and a packet in my Spinach Smoothie this morning and it was really good. A recipe booklet with a measurement conversion chart was included so I’ll bake something this weekend and post the results next week.
Dickinson’s Original Witch Hazel Oil Controlling Towelettes – 20 count box
These towelettes were designed to be used as a quick refresher to remove dirt and oils from face and neck. I used one after removing my makeup for the night, the smell wasn’t pleasant but Witch Hazel has never been. It also contains aloe which gave it a cool and refreshing feeling that didn’t dry my skin or leave a residue. I think these will be good after gardening, doing yard work, or after poolside lounging, I’ll let you know in a few months.

belvita Breakfast Biscuits
My son ate the sample but since I had previously purchased I knew that I liked them. I’ve bought the single packs from Walmart as well as the boxes of 5, each contain 4 biscuits per pack. They are a perfect commuting breakfast because they don’t crumble and fall apart. A good source of fiber, I especially like the Blueberry flavor and bought a box yesterday from Super G.
Colgate Optic White Toothpaste, Mouthwash and Toothbrush
I suffer from Periodontal Disease so I am very particular with the products that I use for oral care. I regularly use a Rotadent Rotary toothbrush at night with a toothpaste for sensitive teeth; a manual toothbrush in the morning as well as for brushing at work. I also use a mouth rinse but this was the first time using Colgate Optic White Mouthwash. I immediately knew it contained peroxide by the way it foamed in my mouth, as a kid I used to brush with peroxide and baking soda. The Optic White Toothpaste was Sparkling Mint, did not have a gritty texture and didn’t irritate my sensitive teeth and gums. I really like the Colgate Optic White Toothbrush because of the whitening cups, soft bristles, cheek and tongue cleaner.
I am using all three products together as suggested for whiter teeth in 5 days, I will report my results next week.
