Believe in Heroes – Support Wounded Warrior Project & Save on Groceries! #BelieveinHeroes #sponsored

I’m participating in the 2014 Believe in Heroes blogger campaign and received compensation as part of the program.

I’m thrilled to share with you an amazing organization called Believe in Heroes. This organization has helped raise more than $16 million for the Wounded Warrior Project which in turn has helped serve more than 40,000 wounded service members.

What Is Believe In Heroes?

Believe in Heroes was created in 2010 in collaboration with Acosta Sales & Marketing to make a positive impact on the new generation of injured service members who have made significant sacrifices to preserve our freedoms and protect our country. Most veterans face challenges as they transition back into civilian life, and today's wounded veterans are meeting extraordinary obstacles including, the physical injuries as well as invisible ones, like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It’s time for EVERYONE to take part in ensuring our injured service members are well taken care of.

Beginning September 7, 2014 and running through Veterans Day, November 11, 2014, Believe in Heroes calls on Americans to show their support and appreciation for our service members and newest generation of veterans in a simple everyday way — grocery shopping. Each participating brand and retailer will help raise funds and awareness for WWP through the Believe in Heroes campaign.

What is The Wounded Warrior Project?

Wounded Warrior Project (founded in 2003) is a veterans service organization that offers a variety of programs, services and events for wounded veterans of the military actions (Iraq and Afghanistan) following the events of September 11, 2001.

The vision of Wounded Warrior Project is to “foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation’s history” by raising awareness of the needs of severely injured service members. Honoring and empowering Wounded Warriors is their mission.

Treat Acne with Silk'n Blue Acne System #SilknProducts #sponsored

I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Silk’n Blue. I received products to facilitate this review to thank me for participating.

Silk ‘n’ Blue is a unique at home acne treatment device that aims to kill acne bacteria at the source. It destroys the bacteria that causes acne, reduces the appearance of new pimples and helps in the quick healing of existing pimples.

It helps to get rid of mild to moderate acne with the dual technology of natural blue light and dermal heating. The blue light destroys existing acne-causing bacteria residing beneath the skin’s surface.

The Silk ‘n’ Blue has a built-in safeguard to protect your skin, ensuring the skin’s surface will not exceed 41 degrees Celsius or 106 degrees Fahrenheit. Silk ‘n’ Blue Acne Treatment Device can be used in any area with acne problems on the face and body. It’s normal to experience a sensation of warmth during your Blue session. This is completely normal and should disappear within an hour after the session. Some mild redness might also occur, but again this is normal and should fade within an hour or two. Best results can be expected in 3 to 7 weeks after completing the recommended course of treatment.

Silk’n Blue Features

• Hand-held light device for home treatment of acne 
• Gentle synergistic power of fractional blue light (same as what is used in dermatologists offices) 
• Possesses built-in temperature sensor (prevents the device from exceeding 41°C / 106°F)

Silk’n Blue Benefits

• Starts neutralizing bacteria immediately; prevents future breakouts
• Fast and visible results – get best results of clear, beautiful skin in 3-7 weeks
• Clinically proven and dermatologist-recommended
• Natural, drug free solution (avoid harmful effects of Accutane, avoid drying out skin like some skin cleansers)
• Dual-energy for bacteria destruction and acne prevention
• FDA-approved and Health Canada-cleared

How often should you use the Silk’n Blue?

• Use daily for best results (you can use twice a day)
• Place applicator for 3-5 minutes on each spot with acne (full face may take up to 20 minutes) 

The Silk’n Blue should not be treated on:

• Eczema, psoriasis, lesions, open wounds.
• Active infections such as cold sores.
• Abnormal skin conditions.

If your are currently using a physician prescribed AHA, BHA, Reitn-A, topical retinoids or azelaic acid, have been treated with Accutane (isotretinoiin) within the past 6 months or have a history of herpes outbreaks in the area of treatment - please consult a physician before using The Silk’n Blue.

keep momming

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Shire. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

The relationship that exists between mothers and daughters is unlike any other. It has many unique moments, memories, and yes, even challenges along the way. The relationship dynamic can be even trickier when your daughter is in those tween-age years. What can be even more difficult is when some people dismiss certain behaviors as “typical tween girl behavior” when those behaviors can be symptoms of something more serious. Research suggests that girls are more likely than boys to report having mostly inattentive Attention- Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms. Since inattentive symptoms can be less noticeable than hyperactive and impulsive symptoms, it is important that moms know what to look for.

I’m proud to be joining forces with Shire, CHADD and Holly Robinson Peete to announce the launch of keep momming, a new public service initiative geared towards the moms of tween girls to raise awareness of ADHD.

The campaign is anchored within a new digital hub, KeepMomming.com, where you’ll find tips, tools and other go-to resources for moms, including a checklist to help recognize the symptoms of ADHD – inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity – and then encourages moms to talk to their daughter’s doctor. The keep momming initiative can help moms learn about ADHD and provide ideas on how to spark a conversation and stay connected with their tween.

Don’t miss Holly’s message about the keep momming initiative http://goo.gl/3tqd5q, and be sure to check out the website at KeepMomming.com.

Celebrate Mother’s Day at Starbucks with Teavana's Oprah Chai Tea #Sponsored #MC #TeavanaOprahChai

I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Starbucks. I received a promotional item and a gift card to facilitate my review. 

I love when new things arrive at Starbucks... {1} because I LOVE Starbucks and {2} it gives me another reason to stop by and visit. 

If you visit as often as I do to Starbuck's, you more than likely noticed that Teavana Oprah Chai beverages are now available at participating Starbucks and Teavana stores nationwide.

About Teavana Oprah Chai Tea

In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, Oprah Winfrey worked with Teavana’s leading teaologists to personally develop her own distinctive blend of tea. Available April 29 in the U.S. and Canada at Starbucks and Teavana stores, the new Teavana® OprahChai Tea features a bold infusion of cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and cloves, blended with loose-leaf black tea and rooibos. 

Sunday, May 11th is not ONLY Mother's Day, but at participating Starbucks, you can BUY ONE Oprah Chai hand-crafted beverage and get the other FREE. This means you and a friend can try the hot or iced Oprah Chai Latte and have a relaxing and enjoyable Mother's Day Sunday along with Oprah! Who doesn't LOVE  a free drink? Not only is Starbucks offering this exciting offer, but in addition, they will also be making a donation for each Teavana Oprah Chai product sold to benefit educational opportunities for youth through the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation. The tea along with the beautiful gift sets are available at participating Starbucks locations. 

I couldn’t have thought of a better person to share this Teavana Oprah Chai Tea with – my BESTIE. With each of us having three kids, our lives have been extremely hectic and non-stop and we don't always get to see each other very often. We appreciate the time we share together because our time is not only precious, but limited. Whenever we happen to get together, we make the most of it and spend most of the time catching up, laughing and making the most of the time we share together. Starbucks has always been one of our favorite places to just relax and just take a breather!
