Ms. Healthy Face

Last year, I won a free year of Spotify Premium sponsored through a Spotify Twitter giveaway. It was a sweet, sweet year. I discovered new artists and rediscovered favorite songs. Most importantly, Spotify provided access to my sons' night-night music all ad-free . Nothings more annoying than a commercial waking you're almost asleep   toddler. I have subscribed to Pandora Premium i n the past specifically for the sleep playlists, but it uses too much data when you 're offline. so I deci ded just to cancel it.  Spotify has a large selection of other sleep-inducing music, all ad-free thanks to the Premium service. Now that my free year of Spotify Premium is over I can't use it to put my kids to sleep. I also miss listening to lists and lists of music offline , not wasting data. As much as Spotify Premium had become part of my driving ritual, I am hesitant to sign up for the $9.99/month premium plan. Luckily, around the time my free subscription ended, I l

Twitter parties are my thanggg! As a SAHM, I am socially isolated. I have learned to accept, more precisely, depend on my computer and cell phone to get me through the day. If I can't go out and party with people, at least I can do it at home, and I get to talk about my favorite things....beauty products, clothes.... PLUS, I have won lots of amazing beauty products by just chatting with random beauty brands. Recently, I tweeted at the Moroccan Oil Twitter party celebrating the launch of the Moroccan Oil Dry Shampoo in the UK. Moroccan Oil so kindly sent me their first dry shampoo, which turns out it is an argan-infused heaven in a bottle. 

Since I have sworn off exfoliating scrubs a la Lisa Eldridge,  my skin has been looking a bit dull. Earlier today, I had a small window for a quick pick me up.  The boys had just gone down for their nap. I had 30 minutes to mask, shower, and get ready. To be honest, this Alba Botanica Hawaiian face mask has been sitting in my medicine cabinet for a minute. I was skeptical about it when Health Designs sent it to me a few months ago. The first time I read the directions, "Apply for 5 minutes", I shrugged it off....and I am so sad I waited this long....   

LOL! Just kidding. My wish list is pretty awesome, but is it on fleek? Who knows...but, I do know that it's almost Mother's Day! That means it's time to celebrate all the wonderful mothers in your life. There are so many beautiful and inspiring moms right now:  Beyonce, Nic Trunfio, Gisele, Nicole Richie, Gwen Stefani, Natalie Portman, Amy Adams, and my ultimate fave, Victoria Beckham...So, remember to get the moms in your life something to help her shine  <3 Here's what's on my wishlist:

My absolute favorite part about being a "blogger", besides the chance to write and take pictures, is that I get introduced to brands I never knew about, and then I get to share them with you. <3 Recently, I was introduced to Dermesse .

I first learned about Beauty Junkees from one of my fave VLoggers, Saaammage . Sam is my go-to girl when I am trying to look for a new foundation because she does amazing foundation reviews, both drugstore and high-end! When reviewing foundations, she applies one side of her face with a brush and the other with a Beauty Blender . In Sam's recent videos , she uses a Beauty Junkees brush.

Adult clothes do not always fit me well . I have a petite frame...I'm short, almost 5 feet but not quite, and weigh around 105 lbs. All my jeans have to be tailored, even my leggings (Athleta does free legging alterations, ladies)! I have an especially difficult time finding dresses. Often I can get away with shopping in the girls' section where I am size 14. Of course, kids clothes are a lot more stylish than they used to be so I can get lots of cute clothes for much cheaper than women's clothes at stores like Zara, HM, Nordstroms, Bloomingdales, and Forever 21. So, I thought I had been banished to shop in the kids' section for the rest of my life until..... eShakti.com !
