Neutrogena Ultra Light Cleansing Oil is a Beauty Must-Have!

I am a member of Crowdtap's Neutrogena Crowd and Neutrogena sent me a free sample of Neutrogena Ultra Light Cleansing Oil to review. All Opinions are my own. As a make-up user and a believer in removing all makeup and truly cleansing my skin, I was pumped when I was accepted to test the Neutrogena Ultra Light Cleansing Oil. I am a regular user of makeup removing wipes, as they are really easy to use. I had never tried an oil and frankly had some concerns about using oil to cleanse my face. However, my concerns were laid to rest after my first use.
Neutrogena's Ultra Light Cleansing Oil just might be my favorite Neutrogena product, and I LOVE Neutrogena! I simply applied a couple squirts of the oil to a cotton round and applied it to my face. I didn't have to scrub or roughly rub my face. I don't have sensitive skin, but I don't like using harsh products or over-scrubbing my thin skin on my face. Again, Neutrogena's Ultra Light Cleansing Oil held up to my expectations and wants.
The evidence was on the cotton round! This stuff took off my makeup like no one's business! Even better, my skin had a fresh glow and didn't feel oily at all.
Neutrogena Ultra Light Cleansing Oil is certainly a beauty must-have!

Savory and Sweet with Sweet'N Low

I received a free Brunch kit from Crowdtap and Sweet'N Low. Watch the unboxing here.
I am a huge fan of saving calories without sacrificing flavor, so I naturally LOVE Sweet'N Low. I was thrilled to host a brunch using the Sweet'N Low recipes found on their website. There really are recipes for every occasion. I made a Sweet'N Sour Chicken with Sweet'N Low. I added a couple packets of Sweet'N Low to my pasta bake for a sweet summer brunch true Italian lasagna-inspired dish. I made pie, muffins, and cakes. And, of course, I used Sweet'N Low in my coffee and even made homemade frappes for the family.
With a daughter diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes, our family has changed our eating habits, cutting out sugar where we can. Sweet'N Low cuts the extra carbohydrates but keeps the flavors we all love.

Snuggle Bear: So Much Summer Vacation

My kids and I were thrilled when we learned that the Snuggle Bear Den would be sending us a free Snuggle Bear to show off all of our summer fun! We took Snuggle to the beach, had a picnic with him, took him swimming at the dock with our dog Belle (who had a real interest in Snuggle Bear), and showed him the map of the Mighty Mississippi!
The kids had him out in the flower garden, in the vegetable garden, and even in their baskets of their bikes. My daughter made him a little bed and even snuggled with Snuggle Bear when her diabetes was making her feel ill. One day, after running errands for a few hours, the kids and I came home to a missing Snuggle Bear. The kids had left him on the dining room table and our chocolate lab Belle somehow got on to the table, snatched Snuggle Bear from safety, and gave Snuggle Bear a bath in nice frothy slobber. Snuggle Bear has truly had an adventure in our home!
