Parenting Healthy

I have partnered with Mirenesse for feature. Product was sent

Whether it’s a run to the store or to a family get together I just never seem to leave myself enough time for a full hair and makeup routine. After having long debates with my 9 year old about shorts versus pants on a 30 degree day and the dog just ran through mud and now needs rinsing off and I put on my 8th top before settling on the right one, when would I have time for makeup?

But then a little magic stick appeared in my mail and it was the Mirenesse Shona Art Tri-Contour V Face Sculpting Stick. In 3-4 swipes on my face and/or chest I get a concealer, highlighter and bronzer all in one. A little blending with my sponge leaves my face ready for some blush and eye makeup in at least half the time. Time saved is golden when trying to get out the door.

In looking at the pictures above. The top picture shows how I like to swipe on my Tri-Contour stick on one side then I repeat on the other side and around it is my face with no makeup. I have a few blemishes and uneven skin tone. Once I blend it all in I get a much more even tone and the blemishes are covered. I especially love how well it does around my eyes.

The first thing I noticed, besides the excellent eye coverage, was how light it is to wear. I truly do not feel like I have product on my face. By the time I dab concealer and sponge on bronzer and add some highlighter from my separate bottles I used to use I felt like I as wearing 3 products. Not with this stick!

This brilliant stick is also fragrance free and contain no parabens, gluten, lanolin or petrolatum. Just ingredients such as beeswax and hyaluronate and other organic ingredients.Fin out more by visiting the Mirenesse website.

CoFi Genuine Leather Penny Phone Bag

I have partnered with CoFi for this #HolidayGiftGuide Feature. Product was sent

I am excited to share CoFi Leather bags and totes with you. For the beauty lover these are truly designed with quality and style in mind. CoFi manufactures their own printed leathers using Italian papers and foils via a transfer process. These prints are so pretty. I have the Penny Phone Bag and I love taking these on trips when I don’t want to cary a large purse around all day as we travel.

I recently took my Penny Phone bag to Las Vega on a weekend getaway. It allows me to travel lighter when I will be doing a lot of walking all day.

Whether you shop online or spot the CoFi Leather products in boutiques near you, they really make great gifts. I love the phone bag size because when all I need to carry is a phone and some keys and cards it is the perfect size. It also has the long strap so I can safely wear over my shoulder or cross body style.

CoFi is owned by Steffi McTigue, who’s father was in the leather business for many decades. Keeping these bags and clutches clean is as easy as blotting off debris with a clean cloth. You can also use a light leather protectant spray on it to best protect the leather. I know that good leather will last a long time if you care for it well. So I wanted to note this for you.

The CoFi shop is full of great gift ideas for the season. Take a look!

The Most Powerful MyCharge Portable Charger

November 10, 2017October 29, 2017 Erin Sluka

I have partnered with My Charge for this feature

Last year I got a MyCharge HubXtra Charger and I am in love with it. It travels with me, has gone camping with me and to conferences where I take a lot of photos and videos and need to keep a charge on my phone. It has built in charging cords so I am only carrying the unit and not multiple cords.

Because I use this everywhere I go I have got a lot of compliments on it. I don’t always recommend the HubXtra to everyone. If you need a portable charger capable of charging tablets and extra hours of high power then you want the MyCharge RazorUltra.

The MyCharge RazorUltra is the most powerful MyCharge portable charger in their lineup. It can charge 2 tablets at once. It has 90 extra hours of power! This means you tablets and phones can stay charged on this RazorUltra all weekend long! Take that one to the mountains, literally!

There are 2 built-in USB ports and inside the packaging they enclose a recharge cable so you can leave yours put at home or in the car and keep this cable with the charger. This is a great gift idea for those who carry devices like students and travelers! Live near storm-prone areas? This can be a life saver for your devices to stay connected to news and loved ones!

Please take time to visit MyCharge this season and arm your loved ones with power.

Winc Wine Club Monthly Deliveries

October 28, 2017December 1, 2017 Erin Sluka

In partnership with US Family Guide I was sent product from Winc

What a perfect time of year to try a new wine service. I was able to build a wine set at Winc and I will tell you how well it works. It is a Winc Wine Club where wine is delivered to your door monthly.

You tell Winc your preferences of red versus white wine or a mixture of both. You also answer a few questions about flavors and tastes to narrow down the varieties that are a right match for you. Then Winc gives you your suggested wine list.

<br />

You can change that list. Perhaps you fell in love with a wine last month and you want to make sure it gets back into the mix again. Just visit your shelf and make any changes you want. I like to gift wines so a lot of times I even choose a wine based on the label art.

You can save!

Save $22 Off Your First Month of Winc available only through this link – www.trywinc.com/usfamilyguide. Winc offers 4 personalized wines each month. Bottles start at $13 each.
