X Out acne treatment for teens review

My oldest child is 13. She has always been big on fitting in and being with the popular crowd. This year was the start of junior high. It has been a huge change for her and her self esteem. The worst part for her about growing up is the acne. She has now began to get blackheads and pimples on her face. She has the Italian oily skin which sucks.

Before starting the X Out acne treatments her regimen was wash her face with soap or the neutrogena soap every morning and night. I also told her to try not to touch her face. It helped some but it was getting worse at times. She was getting patches of acne especial by her nose ans forehead. It has really made her embarrassed about her complexion. So much so she wanted to wear makeup to cover it up and I really don't like her wearing makeup every day.

My daughter was very excited the X Out acne treatments. She loved that it was only one step and was easy to use. She is really hoping it helps her get rid of her acne and back to her beautiful self again. Especially before the dances.

BEFORE PHOTO

Stay tune in a couple of weeks for the results. We will be doing the X Out acne treatments daily for the next couple weeks. Then I will come back and tell you guys how it did and how my daughter feels about the treatments. Finger cross they work and pass her expectations.

I wrote this review while participating in a test drive campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of X Out and received a X Out product sample to facilitate my review, one to giveaway, and a promotional item to thank me for participating.

Review: Simone France is making you look beautiful

I am just a tad over that dreaded big 30 mark. The worse part of it is my kids have giving me wrinkles and age spots. My skin especially on my face has really been through the wringer lately. I have wrinkles, age spots, uneven skin tones, alot of redness, dry patches, and very oily T zone. I even still get blackheads and acne. I am so beyond my moody skin. I so needed something to feel beautiful again. I am sick of covering up with makeup everyday plus I never have time to even put the makeup on. So when I got the chance to try out Simone France skin care products I couldn't wait.

I got a full skin care analysis for free and then they sent me the perfect products that match my skin and to make my problems area get better. So when they arrived I couldn't wait to try them. I got the Sandwich collection which is the soap, the light moisturizer, disposable cleaning cloths and the gentle scrub. This collection I was to use in the morning every morning. Then I got my evening cleansing set which contained the light milk an d the gentle toner. I started using them the very next day. I could tell a huge difference in just my first day of the regimen. My skin was softer and looked cleaner and healthier. I have now been using the routine for about 2 weeks and I must say my skin looks and feels great. I don't have to wear makeup anymore other than mascara. The redness is gone and my skin color is even. It is very moisturized without being over oily. My fine lines and wrinkles are gone and so are my huge pores and I even have alot less blackheads on my nose and face. I was nervous because I have very sensitive skin and I breakout from everything. I didn't break out or rash out using this I was so happy that I found something that works and didn't irritate my skin.

So if you have crazy skin or just skin that is a problem for you then you have to check out Simone France skin care products. I know you will love the products and will look gorgeous after using them. So head over check out all their great products.

Morphology game review

Looking for a fun family game night game that your whole family can play? Do you want something that will use your imagination and be a great learning experience?  I got the perfect game for you. It is called Morphology and is a awesome game to play as a family.

Product info:
Morphology is a fun board game requiring players to dip into a goody bag full of string, wooden sticks, glass beads and colored cubes to create a designated object chosen from a deck of cards. Correctly guess the words your teammates build to be the first team to reach the Final Lily Pad. For more of a challenge (and a possible Facebook photo op!), you may be asked to flex your creative muscles by closing your eyes, using your weaker hand, or only pick 5 objects to use while conjuring your given word. Each game includes 480 cards, 50 pieces of material, a timer, a die and team pieces.

Our Opinion:
I love games that all 8 of of can play and have fun. I also love games that let me kids use their imagination and learn great skills. Morphology is all that and more. It reminds me of charades. You pick a card then you use the string, wooden sticks, beads and cubes to build the word on the card without actually using the word. What I mean if your word is kite then you build a kite and see if any of the other players can guess what it is first. The first person to guess it right gets to move up a lily pad and first one to get to the final lily pad wins. We had a blast playing this. My kids love building things so it was two fun activities in one. This has definitely been a favorite game of ours since we got it. I think everyone one should have it and would recommend it to everyone.

So head over to Morphology games and check out this awesome games and others like it. You will be glad you did and so will your kids and family. This makes a great present for Easter , birthdays and etc.

Gravescabs review

I love finding things for my kids that are fun and educational. The hardest thing for me though is my son. I find alot of girl things but not as many boy things. So when I got the change to try out the newest line of plush toys that also have educational podcasts I had to try them. They are called Gravescabs.

A Gravescab is a collectible and reversible plush cover that slips over a base plush toy called a Skell. Each unique Gravescab also has a podcast episode that includes an educational story for both kids and adults. I thought they look like little skeleton creatures and kind of cute in a boyish way lol. My son immediately thought they were kind of cool. Once he watch the podcast on it he really thought they were really cool. He has had alot of fun changing the skins of it and even my girls thought they were pretty cool. So if you are looking for something different but still educational you have to check out Gravescabs.

Nutrisystem week 23

My  Nutrisystem  journey continues on to week 23. I ate really good this week. I went and bought more fresh veggies and fruits. I didn't splurge this week. I drank alot more water. I barely touched soda this week. I didn't exercise as much as I should of since I was very busy this week but I tried.

My favorite Nutrisystem foods of the week were the honey wheat bagels for breakfast with a sugar free blueberry preserve. For lunch a Cesar salad with low fat dressing and a fudge graham bar. Dinner the Italian herb flatbread pizza are to die for. I didn't drink as much soda this week maybe 2 the whole week. My coffee I used splenda or agave for the sweetener and fat free creamer. I did really good. I began adding more veggies into the diet like asparagus and squash. That was a nice change. Honestly I think I could a whole meal of just veggies haha. The protein shakes were great for morning snake to keep me full until lunch so I don't snack. My favorite is the vanilla.

So I loss another pound this week. I think slowly but surely its coming off. I can say my loss hasn't been as dramatic as others but its really and every one has seen a huge difference. I have gained alot of muscle which is heavier than fat so I think that's why my weight loss isn't as huge. I have dropped almost 2 dress sizes and a few inches every where on my body. So I can tell it is working and that's what matters. Stay tune next week for my next update!
