Protect Your Privacy and Your iPhone

I am reviewing this awesome pouch for your smartphone simply because it has been so hard to find something that truly protects your phone. Now before I get into the positives, I'd like to point out that this is a protective case. You cannot talk while it is in its case. With that being said, I received a free Snugg case for me to review.  I did not receive any compensation for this and I only will share what I really like with you guys. This case is for my iPhone 4S but they have them for a variety of phones. I like it because I can carry it in my purse without having my phone get all scratched up.  I can also keep it on my desk at work ready to make a call while still maintaining privacy in case I step away and I receive a text or phone call.  In the past, I'd have to cover up my phone with a note pad or anything I could find when I stepped away.  Here's how it works:    The case itself is very well made an...

Product Review: Skindanavia Make Up Primer Spray

This is a sponsored post. The good folks at Skindanavia sent me a free sample to try and tell you what I think of their product. All opinions are 100% mine.   Skindanavia Makeup Primer Spray Now if you are like me, you dread the summer. Not only for the heat, but for the oily mess your face will become, especially the forehead.    I have VERY oily skin.  I always, always struggle with shinyness on my forehead and nose. So much so that even my kids come up to me and wipe my forehead :(   When Skindanavia contacted me to see if I'd like to try their product I jumped at the chance.    I have tried almost everything.

I spray it in an X form over my face and wait about a minute before I apply my make up.  Lo and behold my shinyness was not bothersome at all! All...

Super Saturday at the Dallas Arboretum

 Staycation 1 This Saturday I decided to take the boys and my grandbaby out to the Dallas Arboretum. They are having $1 days everyday in August including the new Children's Garden!!  We went right as they opened at 9 a.m. because we knew it would be stifling hot. They allow you to bring in coolers so we packed up a small insulated tote with water bottles and a frozen pack. We also brought along some snacks and a portable misting fan. I tell you that was a life saver.  Here is the gorgeous entrance and a few photos from the Children's Garden from their website:  This is the plant lab inside the Exploration Center. We took respite from the heat in this really cool building. My sweet grandbaby loved exploring and feeling things out!                                  ...
