    Until recently, I had never tried Gel Nails. I came across a great company called Couture Gel Nail Polish. I was stoked when I received the opportunity to work with them! If you haven't heard of them, they are a mother and daughter run company! They are located in North California and only source products that have NO history of animal testing. They are committed to offering only the finest quality gel nail polish and accessories! Did you know they have over 100 bold and beautiful colors of gel nail polish too?
    I received their Starter Gel Nail Polish Kit for a blog review. I am stoked about this! Their kit comes with so many goodies! Check out what comes with it!
    -Your choice of 1 Couture Gel Nail Polish
    -Base Coat
    -Super Shine Top Coat
    -LED Espree Salon Lamp with 30 second dry time
    -Instructional DVD and brochure. 
    -Exclusive cleanse and remove products
    -A bonus Salon manicure kit
    -Zippered cosmetic case
    Check it out! I did my nails and my mother in laws nails. Now, this was the first time using it, bare with me on the results! They look great if you ask me! The color that I chose for my kit is from their spring collection. It is called Come On Barbie!.
     Instead of just showing you a picture of my nails- I wanted to share with you HOW I did it! After successfully completing hers, I wanted to do mine!
    Step 1- you need to prep your nails! Don't use handcreams, lotions or sunscreen on the day you do your nails because you will keep the product from adhering properly. Gently remove surface oils with the buffer.
    Step 2- Roll base coat in the palm of your hands. Don't shake. Apply a thin layer on each nail and be sure to seal the bottom of the nails to keep moisture from penetrating under the polish. Paint one hand and Cure base coat under the LED lamp for 30 seconds.
    Step 3- Apply a thin coat of Couture Gel Nail Polish and again- be sure to seal the edges. Cure for 30 seconds under the LED lamp and repeat if needed. I did it twice to achieve the color I wanted.
    Step 4- Apply a thin coat of Couture Gel Nail Polish Top Coat and make sure to again, seal the edges. Apply the top coat over the entire nail. LESS IS MORE. You can use a cuticle stick to clean up any mess you make. Set nails in LED lamp for 30 seconds to cure.
     Step 5- Grab that cleanse product and squeeze onto a lint free wipe. This will remove that tacky stuff and will give your nails that shiny and hard diamond finish!! Remember that your nails will not harden properly if you do not do this step.  ENJOY YOUR NAILS!!! If you did all of the steps correctly- your nails will last up to 3 weeks!
    I am very thrilled with my results and for a "starter", I think that I did okay! You can find this kit for only $99 on the Couture Gel Nail Polish website! This is a great value! I can't wait to buy more gel polish! I am officially addicted! It is time consuming but totally worth it in the end! Be sure to visit them on their social media to stay up to date with the latest! You won't regret it!

    “I received LISTERINE® Brand products and a Walgreens gift card from Johnson & Johnson.  Healthcare Products Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc. and The Motherhood as part of my participation in the LISTERINE® 21-Day Challenge. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this post are my own.”
    LISTERINE®- I am sure you have heard of the brand right? If you haven't you are living under a rock. Recently I discovered the LISTERINE® 21- Day Challenge! Oh My! This is exciting! The challenge is going to give my family a chance to redeem ourselves when it comes to oral care. Have you heard of it? Well, to start off visit the LISTERINE 21-Day Challenge page and pledge to swish with LISTERINE® for 21 days. You will commit to rinsing once in the morning and once at night everyday! After you opt in and commit- you will be able to choose an expert in fitness, nutrition or  home organization and receive daily personalized emails with tips, video content and guidance establish good habits in your chosen area!  
     That is not it! Did you know that by signing up up for the challenge and sticking with your rinsing routine you will have a daily opportunity to instantly win exciting prizes!

For an extra added bonus: for every seven consecutive days you swish, you’ll be entered into one of the sweepstakes drawings for a grand prize.

    Now speaking of rinsing- I have a hard time with my 8 year old brushing her teeth by herself. I usually have to remind her and I have to stay on her to do it correctly. Let's face it-8 year olds do not really comprehend oral care like us adults do. Her oral care is so important to me. *I* don't have very good teeth to be honest. I was raised in a a household of chaos and having us kids brush our teeth was the last thing on their minds. I do wish it were different! That is why I am so strict on Lydia to keep her teeth in great shape! Her dentist once told me that when your baby teeth get decay, it can affect your adult teeth too! On another hand- Did you know that brushing misses 75% of your mouth? Can you say EW! Thankfully, LISTERINE® has all of the right products for my family to tackle our oral care immediately! Check out what we received!

    My daughter Lydia is a fan of dresses. She has her tom boy moments but she always says she is so comfortable in a dress. Recently we came across an adorable kids clothing line called KidCuteTure. KidCuteTure is a mother-and-daughter team creating beautiful, imaginative and functional children's clothing crafted from the finest, machine-washable Peruvian cottons and cut in sizes 3 months to 16 years. Their styles are so whimsy and adorable. They are all truly unique. You won't find them anywhere else, that is for sure! Lydia received the cutest dress and leggings to match. The KidCuteTure Amy Dress in Rose is just adorable in so many ways. I love how it arrived in the mail. Perfect!
     What made me pick this particular dress is the colors and unique style.
    The rose on the frontis unique too! Check it out on my princess!
    Lydia wanted to wear her boots with it. I could not say no. I think it is cute. But with the cold and rainy Tennessee weather, I think it was okay. This dress is made of Peruvian Cotton Jersey/Spandex. This dress is so soft and cute! She loves the "leaves" around it too.I plan to get her another pair of flats to wear with it as well. The KidCuteTure Amy Dress In Rose comes by itself  but you can purchase the leggings separately. They match the dress completely. The Leggings in Rose And Charcoal can be purchased for $28. You can find them in a size 2-14. The dress is only $80 and can be found in sizes 2-14. Overall, I am in love with it! Check out their website to see other adorable outfits they have to offer!

    Written by Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz, RACE FOR YOUR LIFE, CHARLIE BROWN is a delightful and fun-filled adventure that the whole family can enjoy.  Newly remastered for this release, the film arrives on DVD for the first time ever on February 10, 2015!
    Ah, the joys of camp: The fresh air! The lousy chow! The obnoxious kids from that other tent! But Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Snoopy, Woodstock and all the rest are ready to face whatever camp throws at them.  And when the day of the Big Rafting Race comes around, they’ll fearlessly take to the water, pitting the boys against the girls – and Snoopy and Woodstock against all of them – as they face raging rapids, wild weather, and sneaky sabotage from a bevy of bunkhouse bullies. Teamwork, courage and leadership are the keys to success. Will Charlie Brown have what it takes to be a leader? 
    Lydia received this movie for review. Let me tell you- It is completely adorable! It is something for the whole family, that is for sure! This movie teaches teamwork! Something that most 8 year olds need to learn! The runtime is 76 minutes and it is an affordable SRP of $14.99!!

     I decided to try taco pizza tonight! It is so yummy! Check it out below! My pictures are not professional beyond any means. I want to make my photos "what you see is what you get" and not unrealistic. =)
    • Texas Original Taco Skillet Sauce (Found at Publix) OR 1 pkg of taco seasoning
    • 1lb Hamburger Meat
    • 1 chopped tomato (You can buy pre-chopped at the grocery store to cheat lol)
    • 2 cups of Mexican Shredded Cheese
    • 1 can of Pillsbury Orig Pizza Dough
    • Salt To Taste
    Preheat oven to 400*
    • - Cook hamburger meat and add in skillet sauce. Simmer for a few minutes.
    • - Spread pizza dough on cookie sheet (This dough is rectangular shaped) You can work it in a round pan if you want.
    • - After meat is done spread over dough.
    • - Add tomato over top of meat.
    • - Pour and spread cheese over top of tomato.
    • Bake as directed on the can of dough. I baked 14 mintutes and didn't prebake the dough because I wanted it a big soft.
    NOW you CAN double this recipe but I will be honest, 1 lb of hamburger meat was enough for two pizzas for our family. This is completely delicious!  ENJOY and tell me how you like it! You can add more ingredients to taste! Play with it and have fun!
