TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo Really Works Great!

This post brought to you by TRESemmé. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have a very busy life, like most people I guess. I heard about dry shampoo a few years ago, but only saw it at the salons and it was always super pricey. I saw a commercial for this product on TV. And thought I'd check out the price. After I saw the price of $5 or so, I thought it was definitely worth a try. Also, one of the women I work with told me that she used this shampoo on a regular basis. So with a recommendation in hand I thought I had nothing to lose.  So when I got home and tried it and LOVED IT!!! Looks kind of powdery at first when you spray it on but that goes away as it absorbs the oil in your hair.  This stuff really works great!

Here are my tips on how to use TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo:

• Shake vigorously before use and in between spray bursts for best results.
• Lift sections of dry hair and spray lightly at roots
• Spray in short bursts, holding 8-12 inches from head
• Don’t spray it like hair spray (all over and continuously)
• Leave in for 1-2 minutes.
• Use fingertips or a brush to distribute product evenly
• If clogging occurs, remove nozzle and rinse the nozzle under warm water, then reattach.

No regret switching to Straight Talk!

This post brought to you by Straight Talk. All opinions are 100% mine.

I'm so glad that I made the change. With my previous carrier, I was tired of overage fees and dealing with my contract that just never seemed able to be broken or changed. With a prepaid company, particularly Straight Talk, I pay much more affordable price and pay month to month only. The $45 unlimited use plan works wonderfully for me and anymore who relies on their cell phone for everything - no overage fees, no contracts, no surprise bills and no credit checks. I was able to transfer my cell phone number from my previous carrier and I now have the benefits of the Verizon network without a contract. Even the selection of phones is much better than I would have expected from such a new, prepaid service. I really never considered that Wal-Mart would have such a great bargain for cell phones, but it has worked out well.

There are two plans to choose from:

• The “All You Need Plan” is perfect for the average cell phone user because it gives you 1,000 minutes, 1,000 texts and 30 MB of web data for only $30.
• Unlimited Monthly service is only $45; it includes unlimited calls, text, picture messaging, and web. At that price, you can have unlimited talk for the whole year for less than $500! 411 calls are included at no extra charge.

International Long Distance:

If you make international calls, Straight Talk can set you up with a plan that will allow you to make international calls from your home, cell or office phone at low rates.

Phone Selection:

• Reconditioned phones are available from $10.00 with camera, mp3 player, mobile web access, and blue-tooth capability. Great for young users which makes it cheaper to Call a friend.
• Amazing smart phones; touch screen phones, and app capable phones with features like voice navigation, camera, video recorder, music player, instant messaging, and Bluetooth.
• Android on Straight Talk, The Samsung Galaxy Precedent is priced at an uber-affordable $150 without any sort of contractual obligations attached. For $45 per month, Straight Talk provides a plan with unlimited text, voice, and web access. Galaxy Precedent probably isn’t the most aptly named device, as it isn’t exactly seeting any sort of precedent for prepaid handsets with its 800MHz CPU, 3.2-inch touchscreen, and Android 2.2 build.

 

I love the idea that I feel richer with Straight Talk! Hook, line and sinker.

Upromise Celebrates its 10th Anniversary by giving away $20000

This post brought to you by UPromise. All opinions are 100% mine.

The Upromise college savings plan has been incredible. My husband and I signed up with our debit and credit cards, and quickly racked up $500 that we transferred into a real 529 college savings account for our daughter.

We were so pleased; we asked her grandparents, aunts and uncles to register in her name. I am happy to say that our 5 year old has over $2500 in her 529 savings account - and all of it is from Upromise rewards.

In only ten years, Upromise members have received more than $600,000,000 in college savings!

This year is the 10th anniversary of Upromise. And to celebrate its 10thanniversary, Upromise is giving away $20,000 to parents who are helping support their child’s dream—that’s $1,000 to 10 winners, and a $10,000 grand prize winner—just for helping your child achieve something that is important to him or her and your family.

You can read their dream wall official rules so that you can see how to enter but basically you submit your own story on how someone helped you achieve your dreams and/or you can vote on the stories that are already posted on their Dream Wall at www.upromisetodream.com. It brought tears to my eyes to read some of the dreams on there.

I submitted my dream for my daughter and it was so easy to do. My dream for her is to go to college and succeed in whatever she chooses to become.

There is so much joy and love being shared with these dreams. Are you ready to share your dream and watch it come true?

Go share yours!

When Should Two Brothers Stop Taking Bath Time Together

When is the best age(s) to stop letting your kids take a bath together?

Now right now I'm talking about the same sex of course. When I was little I and my sisters used to take a bath together. My sister even took baths with my cousins at my grandmother’s house. We were all girls. All six of us.

Right now, I have 2 boys. They've been taking baths together since my youngest could stand on his own without falling too much. Right now they're 8 & 6 (turning 7 in a few weeks). They still take baths together. In my part it's more to conserve on water. They've taken baths on their own once in a while when one wants to take a bath and the other doesn't want to at that time. But for the most part, about 80% of the time they take baths together.

My oldest boy is getting older and I don't know when I should start making him take a bath on his own. Should I wait until he tells me himself? My bathtub isn't that big, pretty small actually. When they start to fight in the tub of course I threaten but they like playing together, they're kids.

Fostering good family relationships

Having a good relationship with our family members always gives a lot of enjoyment to us. But some persons forget about this relationship due to their heavy work load, but we must give importance to our family members even in our busy schedule. As we all are working for the sake of earning money which is useful to our family, so we must give importance to our family members and allocate some time to have fun with them.

Now a days both of the parents are going to job to maintain their family and don't have enough time to spend with their spouse as well as kids, mostly they spend their time with other family members on week end and holiday. We must avoid this kind of trend and try our maximum to communicate with our family members on every day. Just allocate some time to your spouse and kids and ask about their present status, have a good talk with them to have more fun, this kind of frequent talk and spending our time with our family member will give some pleasure and enjoyment to us. Also we can cherish this kind of golden moments in our future too. So allocate some time to spend with your family members, even you are busy with your job.

In these times of economic crisis, most people are engaged in at least a job, with some having 2 or 3 side jobs.

A friend of mine recently taking 2 jobs. One day time full - time job, and the second is night time part time job. So, normally, he has to work at least 12 hours a day. He only have half day off during the weekend, and all other time he has to be at work. Sometimes, I call him to hang out with us, he just couldn't spare an hour or two. Well, he just working too hard, and spend most of time at both works. I hope that he can save enough money sooner, and we can hangout again in our spare time.
