Organic YumEarth Candy for a Natural Easter

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

 

With certain holidays, I tend to wait till the last minute to buy gifts. So far I seem to be on top of it this year. I was ready and prepared for Valentine’s Day over a week in advance. Now that Easter is coming up, I have already planned out my kid’s Easter Baskets.

My husband and I like to limit sugar, but around holidays we let our kids enjoy it a little more often. But if they are going to have sugar, we try to make sure it is from a company that only uses real ingredients. YumEarth has released a line of Easter themed candy. This will definitely be in my kids’ baskets, and my husband’s too!

After getting a great deal with Hipmunk, you don’t want your trip ruined due to flight anxiety. Some people are so terrified of flying that they back out of travel plans at the last minute. While your logical side may tell you that turbulence is no big deal, your adrenaline is saying something much different. These tried-and-true solutions are great for quelling that anxiety and getting through your flight drama-free.

1. Figure out exactly what’s making you nervous. Is it turbulence? Being cramped in a small space? Germs? By recognizing your phobia and where it stems from, you can start to view it as irrational, which is the first step to beating it.
 

2. Get familiar with normal airplane noises. For example, upon landing, it’s normal for the plane will rattle. Don’t worry, that’s not the wheels about to spin off, it’s the carry-on luggage and seats shifting a bit. If you have the correct information, you’ll be able to talk yourself out of being irrationally scared because you’ll be armed with knowledge.

I’m in my 30’s, Time to Think about Anti-Aging

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

 

I have taken really good care of my skin over the last 5 years. I always wash my face and moisturize. I have also used eye cream on and off. Last year I read an article that was talking about how the neck and décolleté are prone to signs of aging if not taken care of. So now I make sure to scrub, wash, moisturize, and protect that area, as well as my face.

 

I have always cared about my skin, but never from the angle of anti-aging. I just wanted to look my best. Now that I am 30, I am starting to see the lines forming around my eyes… crow’s feet! Eye cream is now a part of my nightly regiment…every night.

The Sun is Out and my Sunglasses are On

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

 

I have learned over the years the importance of wearing sunglasses to protect my eyes. Well made sunglasses protect your eyes from UV rays. GlassesShop has a variety of sunglasses as well as prescription eyeglasses for anyone looking for eye wear.

I like having a couple pairs of sunglasses on hand. I keep one in my car and another in my purse. I used to wear black sunglasses all the time; I liked the simpleness of the black and that they matched every outfit. Recently I have been enjoying different styles and fun colored rims.
