I'm Getting Health + Ancestry DNA Testing! {Nebula Genomics Review + a Coupon Code}
Wednesday, September 7, 2022
I received a DNA Kit from Nebula Genomics in order to facilitate an honest review. All opinions are my own. This post may contain some affiliate links.
Hi, guys! I have always wanted to try genetic testing both for health reasons and to find out my ancestry once and for all. All of the companies I found were either one or the other and pretty pricey at that. Nebula Genomics provides both ancestry and health traits and they decode 100% of your DNA (not .02% like other companies.) Another plus is their privacy policy that gives you full ownership and control over your genomic data. I just received my kit so I'll walk you through it + I have a Discount Code for you!

tens neck massager?! Does it work? I gave it a try and I'll tell you all about it. Plus, you have
the chance to win one to try for yourself (open to the US)! If you
miss the giveaway, I gotchu: I have a 10% off code for you, too! [GIVEAWAY CLOSED, Use code SOUTHERN15 for 15% off until 5/26/21!]

I Tried Gray Away Temporary Root Concealer Spray + Made a 'How to Use' Video!
Tuesday, August 6, 2019
This post was sponsored by Gray Away as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.
Hi, guys! Summer is a ridiculously crazy time for us with trips, events, and activities, so it's also the time where I tend to let the things slide that aren't necessarily necessary, like letting my gray roots peek through for longer than usual.
I do use a root concealer, but it takes a long time to apply the powder with a brush, so when I was given the chance to try out a salon-quality temporary root concealer spray, I was so ready to save some precious, precious time. I gave the Gray Away Temporary Root Concealer Spray a try and I have all of the details for you, including a little video I made to show you how to use it!

Hi, guys! You know I'm all about that skincare, so when I was given the chance to try out the MicrodermMD from Trophy Skin, I was stoked. I've been using it behind the scenes for about 6 weeks now and I have the skinny on the device, how it works, and a discount code for 15% off their entire site! On top of that, one reader will have the chance to win this $299 skincare marvel for themselves. [CLOSED]
I received a Sherpa Blanket from Collage.com in order to facilitate an honest review. All opinions are my own.
Hi, guys! Today's post is actually a product review. I know I don't do a whole lot of those, but when I was contacted by Collage.com to review one of their photo blankets, I was curious enough to agree. I thought they were cute but how hard would they be to design? Do you need an art degree to make a cute blanket? Also, most of the photos I have of the kids were taken on a phone, so would that affect the quality of the printing? I've got the answers to these questions and also a walkthrough of the creation process (actually super easy), a critique and a test of the final product, and also a giveaway at the end so that one of my readers can create the photo blanket of their dreams for free!

I received a Deskcise Pro from Flexispot in order to facilitate an honest review. All opinions are my own.
I'm at my desk a lot and it drives me nuts having to sit still for long periods, so when Flexispot contacted me and asked if I would like to try out one of their Ergonomic Workstations, I was happy to give one a go. I chose the Deskcise Pro V9 Desk Bike, part standing desk, part exercise bike, to put through its paces and here's what I found.

It's harvest time and fresh veggies are in abundance. Whether you're buying them from the grocery store or enjoying the fruits of your garden, keeping your produce fresher, longer has always been a bit of a problem. I usually try to solve it by packing them into every meal, but that's not always possible and I'm left with veggies that are better suited for the compost heap. I'm going to give you guys some tips to keep your veggies fresher, longer and I'm also trying out a new product that promises to keep produce fresher up to 80% longer*!

We ladies go through a lot. Not only our ridiculous, and sometimes painful, grooming routines, but also a once-a-month visit from "Aunt Flo." Some women have relatively easy menstrual periods and some have it much harder. Everyone's different, but no matter what you deal with every month, I have a great list of my most helpful period essentials that might just help make your 'time of the month' easier, too.

Adding nutrition in the form of delicious veggies to every meal is important, but it can also be time-consuming. It's no secret that I love a good shortcut and sometimes, I'm too darn tired to wash, dry, chop, dice, shred, steam, sautee, or roast anything else, so this is actually a method I've used for a while now. When you want to eat smart, but don't have the time....

If you have a teen you know how hard it can be to keep them full, especially if they play sports. It's like a magic trick the way our groceries disappear! Normal serving sizes just don't cut it anymore; He eats double portions at every meal and still gets hungry throughout the day. Normal snack-sized portions don't fill the bill, either. If you too have your very own human garbage disposal, I've got a trick to keeping it fed.

If you travel at all, you know some of the pitfalls that can come with that: Getting lost, not understanding the language, running out of photo storage, and kids that need to be entertained on top of that. Our phones have become a must-have for photos, maps, and entertainment, but what if it could do even more? I recently got the chance to upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy S8 and it has some of the most amazing features for the traveler (and even daily life) that will amaze you!

Tell me if this sounds familiar: The afternoon rolls around and you can barely keep your eyes open. You feel like you didn't sleep a wink last night even though you got a full eight hours. You have so much to get done but the coffee stopped working at around 2 o'clock and sadly, a nap isn't an option. It's the afternoon energy slump and we've all been there. Should you try drinking another cup of coffee (and another and another) or is there something more nutritious that will help you get your focus back? The short answer is yes, there is another option and it's how I finally beat the afternoon energy slump.

In my odyssey to simplify my life, I've been looking for ways to switch up to more effective products that are either simpler or take less time to use, but the caveat? They can't be expensive. I've gone through the gamut of products and at the height of my insanity I was using a $120 anti-aging moisturizer. The funny thing is that it didn't give me $120-a-jar results. I'm actually getting those results at drugstore prices and I've got some awesome before-and-after pictures to show you!

Cleanser, Scrub, Toner, & Hydration in One! How to use Olay Daily Facials
Friday, June 23, 2017
This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own. #ad #NoMakeupRequired
I've tried a lot of skincare products. A lot. When I was first learning what makes for a good skincare routine I learned all about cleansers, toners, exfoliators, masks, and the different types of moisturizers, how to use them, and what they all do. I wanted to make sure I was doing the best for my skin and I kept up with that routine for years. I bought drugstore products and high-end products and everything in between. It was not only tiring, but expensive.
I am so happy that Olay has one product that does away with all of those. It's a face cleaner, makeup remover, toner, and exfoliator that leaves your skin hydrated, not tight-feeling, and I'll show you exactly how to wash your face using these awesome Daily Facials.

By now you've probably heard of food prepping. It's a method of performing tedious food prep while you have the extra time so you can reap the benefits when you don't. I've done this quite a bit with freezer cooking and it is a godsend. You may have seen those impressive posts where someone completes a week or month's worth of meals in one day and thought it looked like too much trouble, but you don't have to go to the extreme, or even do it regularly. If you know you have a busy week or few days coming up, you can prep a few meals or a lot to help save your sanity.
