The holidays are over and I’m finally catching up on sleep but I’m telling you.. I look drab as drab can be until I put some effort into my hair and makeup these days.
After I’ve taken a shower and put on my new favorite lipstick, COVERGIRL® Blast Flipstick™, I look a bit more alive!
The COVERGIRL® Blast Flipstick™ was included in a package I received from P&G recently and I would love to share a package of P&G goodies with you! Read on to learn how you can win a P&G prize package.
Proctor & Gamble’s “Have You Tried This Yet?” campaign features a bundle of fabulous new products and I was sent a box of goodies try out and am able to give one goodie bag with the same products away to a lucky winner!
Inside you’ll find products including COVERGIRL® Blast Flipstick™, Tampax® Radiant™, and Secret® Outlast™ Protecting Powder Invisible Solid. While I am in no need of feminine products as I am post-menopausal, a friend of mine was very happy to take the Tampax® Radiant™ tampons and other feminine products included in the box.
There are even more products in the box as you can see in the photo to the right.
Visit PGTryIt.com to see what innovative Have You Tried This Yet? P&G products new mom, Vanessa Lachey, can’t live without including, Tampax® Radiant™ and COVERGIRL® Blast Flipstick™.
Some of my favorite new P&G products included in the box:
Glimmery lipstick and a shade recipe!
My favorite product in the package is the lipstick. I am always look for new colors to try out. I have very sensitive lips and can only use lipsticks that glide on smoothly so as to not irritate my lips. COVERGIRL® Blast Flipstick™, with two shades in each stick, fits the bill! With a creamy shade on one side and a shimmer shade on the other, it’s two wearable, blendable, lipcolors in one!
I have a yellowish skin tone and I love the 810 Glimmer COVERGIRL® Blast Flipstick™.
Here is a COVERGIRL® Blast Flipstick™ recipe I think you’ll like!
First, I applied the light shade from the 840 Stunner stick, then I applied the dark shade from the 810 Glimmer stick. The result was a fun and exciting medium-dark brownish purple shade! For every day use I wear the lighter shade from the 810 stick.
Oh, how I love the body wash!
I love the scent of the Olay® Vanilla Winter Retreat Body Wash. I have very dry skin in the Winter and Olay body wash is the only brand that has been able to alleviate the dryness over the years. I usually take a shower in the evening, after a long day of work, taking care of the kids, running around, etc. and this body wash always leaves me feeling refreshed and relaxed.

A couple of years ago, HTC’s Droid Incredible launched with great reviews and high sales. The 4G LTE version is the third model in the line of Droid Incredibles, and is a very well designed phone. The HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE is available on Verizon, and is a great family smartphone. The phone itself is sleek and modern, and features competitive hardware. A snappy 1.2 GHz dual core processor powers the phone. It features a 4 inch screen with a 960×540 resolution, and 8 GB of internal memory expandable with an SD card slot.

The phone features an 8 MP camera and takes full HD video, making it perfect for capturing special moments. A front facing camera for video calling makes staying in touch with long-distance family easy. Like most smartphones, a built-in GPS provides directions as well as allows location information to be added to online posts, a great feature for bloggers! Integrated Google Maps and Navigation apps give directions and make it easy to find new places to visit around town.
Version 4.0 of the popular Android operating system is included, and has great integration with Google products, including Gmail, Google’s popular email service. The native email app syncs with other popular email services to make most email accounts easily accessible on the phone. Google’s Play Store is another built-in app, and offers a massive marketplace of apps, books, music, magazines, and movies. Verizon loads several of their own applications on the device, including one that easily creates a mobile hotspot to provide Internet access to your laptop, if your data plan supports this feature.

Busy moms will love the Netflix app, which makes streaming movies and videos simple. This app is great for relaxing on the go, or even for a family movie night when connected to a television. Several readers, available in the form of Google’s Play Books, Amazon’s Kindle, or Barnes and Noble’s Nook, allow you to read your favorite novels right on the phone, and connect to popular e-reader platforms if you already have an account with one of these companies.
Facebook is a popular app for teenagers. The Facebook app for Android is free and has most of the social features offered by the full site. The Fandango app is another popular one for teens who love going to movies with friends, and makes it easy to find movie times and other information about popular releases.
Busy moms and teenagers will appreciate receiving this phone as a Christmas gift! It’s slightly smaller than many other similar phones, making it extra portable. It still has all of the features, and is a great way to get entertainment on the go, from books to movies, for when you get a spare moment to relax. The Droid Incredible 4G LTE by HTC has all of the social features a teenager or busy parent could possibly want to stay connected to their friends and family at a reasonable price, and it can even be helpful for homework.
Both adults and kids will love the Droid Incredible 4G LTE. I know I and my kids do!

I remind my kids often that they are lucky to have a roof above their heads at night, two cars to travel in, food to eat, and clean water to drink. They look at me like I’m crazy. I can’t emphasize enough to them that their life is easy. This holiday season I will have something in my hands to show my kids that is connected to a community somewhere in the world that is not as privileged as we are. I will have hand-carved serving spoons to help tell the story of orphans in the Kamba tribe of Kenya. The serving spoons are made to benefit orphans of the Kamba tribe in Kenya. Each one is unique—just like the children they help.
This holiday season, let the scarf around your neck, the ornaments on your tree, or the wooden serving spoons on your table be conversation starters. What’s the topic? Children and families in impoverished communities and solving the challenges they are facing, such as access to food, clean water, education, and more.
How can a clothing accessory or table decoration contribute to this dialog? When gift-givers make a holiday donation through World Vision’s Maximum Impact Fund, the gift is used where it’s most needed, tackling some of the world’s greatest challenges. With a donation of $25 or more the donor receives a free gift (a few listed below) to wear, carry, use or give to a loved one. Most of the Maximum Impact Fund items available in the catalog are made by micro-enterprising artisans around the world and the sale proceeds directly benefit their communities.

Here are a few gorgeous gift ideas from the catalog:
Tie the beautiful beaded ornaments to napkin rings as a vivid tabletop decoration. The set includes three handmade Zakale wire and bead ornaments from Nairobi. Meaning “reuse,” Zakale crafts are made from recycled materials by a group of Kenyan artisans reclaiming their own lives from poverty.
Dish up a holiday salad with unique hand-carved serving spoons made with care to benefit orphans in Kenya.
Accessorize for a holiday party with a silk scarf from the coast of Thailand. After the harvest season, the women of Thailand’s Surin Province put down the farming tools and take up the loom to hand-wove the beautiful Sabai scarves.
The BPA-Free 16 oz. eco cold cup comes in handy when on the run. Every sip is a reminder of those who’ve been helped.
Glimmery lipstick and a shade recipe!
Oh, how I love the body wash!
