L’Occitane Prevents Dry Skin On Face

More specifically, the Angelica Instant Hydration Mask prevents dry skin on face. I enjoy using it because it is easy to use and makes my face feel refreshed.

I don’t use the exfoliator every day – just a couple days a week, but I can use the mask everyday. The good thing is that once I have a dab of it on my hand I can apply it to my face wherever I am. There’s a bit of smell, but I like it and it fades quickly so it hasn’t bugged me yet.

Here’s my video that explains a bit more:

Mega Blok Squad Police Force Pursuit | Review

We received a Police Force Pursuit from the Mega Blok Squad sets for review, and decided to use it instead of a game for family time. Our kids were excited to start because it is vehicles and men – their favorite parts of any play set. They had a bit of trouble deciding who would build each vehicle. It was settled when our 7 year old daughter decided she could just pretend that the ambulance is an RV camper for a girl doll. :)

My lil ankle bones get cold! The reason I started wearing low cut socks was because of these SofSole socks that were given to me at the FitBloggin Conference. I like these socks and I tell you why in the video.

I get to be the #attphonefairy’s assistant! I have confidence that I can assist her better than the tooth fairy because I’ve been lousy with that position. [I guess I don't know for sure that the #attphonefairy is a "her."] Anyhow…the fairy sent me an HTC HD7S phone to try. I’ve had it for 5 days. Before I tell you what I think of it here’s the official specs straight from Amazon:
