Thoughtful Thursday

Thank you, God it is Thursday!!! Technology officially dislikes hates me. Between my phone screen going out for three hours yesterday then magically coming back on and my computer taking most of the evening changing over to windows 10 while I was writing my Wednesday's post (which I am going to post next week) I am done. Plus, I still have to still take another test. To say that I am ready for the week to be over is an understatement. Here are some thoughts for this Thursday from Lifehack and Pinterest:

Everyone have a great day and enjoy the day!!!!

Fitness Tuesday

The last few days have been super busy/ me being swamped with school work is the story of my life at this point. I will definitely be getting back to doing some regular posting sometime very soon (I know I have said that many times before). I was trying to post this last night but for some reason my Pinterest is acting all crazy. Here are some exercises that I found on Pinterest that I liked to share with you on this Tuesday:

These all can be done at home and in a time crunch. I am still in pain from my workout yesterday. I have no clue how I thought it would be a good idea to go to the gym for an hour then to Pilates for another hour. Anywho, everyone have a great Tuesday!!!!

Thoughtful Thursday

I hope everyone has had a great week so far. I am so glad this week is almost over. I have be swapped with school projects and other things outside of school this week. Here are some thoughts for today from Lifehack and Pinterest:

Hopefully, next week I can put up some of the food and drink post that I had taken pictures for. Until then, everyone have a great Thursday!!!

Clarins Multi-Active Day and Night cream review

A few weeks ago, I received this five day starter kit from Clarins of their Multi-Active Day and Night creams from Influenster.

I used the Day Broad Spectrum in the morning after directly after I washed my face and put on my eye cream/ before put on foundation and concealer. I then used the  Multi-Active night moisturizer  used after I washed my face and put my eye cream on.

Actually, I used only half of each packet they sent me so it lasted ten days instead of five. There were definitely pros and cons to both of the creams.

                 Multi-Active Day Broad Spectrum SPF 20                                                        Multi-Active Night                                                          

What I liked

-using a smaller amount of  the moisturizer helped it go smooth

- moisturizer was lighter when using less

-did not leave a residue

What I disliked

-if the whole package was used, the cream was heavy

-a tad bit on the greasy side 

-had a strong smell

 A small amount definitely goes a long way. I would suggest using about a dime size of each one. If you use too much your face will look super oily.

Overall I would recommend this especially, if you have dry skin during the winter months like myself.

I was sent these products for reviewing purposes. These are my own opinions of the product.

Thoughtful Thursday

I don't know about all of you but I am so glad the week is almost over. For most of the week I have been kind of out of it. Literally, on Monday I had made an appointment not realizing that it was the beginning of the week and and not Wednesday. Here are some thoughts that I liked from Pinterest this week:

Everyone have a great Thursday!!!!

Dove and Dove Men+ Antiperspirants Review

A while ago I received from Influenster

some Dove and Dove Men+Care deodorants to try.

 I decided to give the men's one to my boyfriend and I kept the women's one. The one I was sent was the cool essentials dry spray. It has a cucumber and green tea scent. Here are some pros and cons of the women's one:

Pros

Easy to use

Smell great

Covers whole area easily

Cons

If you spray it to close to your underarm, it stings a bit

Leaves that white, deodorant residue sometimes if you use too much 

The Men+Care one was a Extra Fresh scent. I asked my boyfriend what he thought of it but of course he really didn't give an in depth view on it. He liked that it was easy to take with him with traveling. He also like that unlike the stick ones that if you drop the bottle, there is not a risk of breaking the deodorant itself and their is no clean up. 

The overall verdict is that we would by both of these. We have had them for over an month and there is still a good amount left in both. I usually buy deodorant based on my skin since it is so sensitive. With this deodorant, I have not had any skin issues so I say it is definitely worth trying regardless of you skin type.  

I received this product for reviewing purposes. This is my own personal opinion of the product.

Fitness Tuesday

This week for Fitness Tuesday, I wanted to post some healthy snack. I admit, depending on the day I may snack or not. There are so much different opinions on snack. Some say to eat three meals a day, while others say to do five to six small meals. I say just don what you think is best for you. Personally, I eat when my stomach starts making sounds so. Anywho, here are some recipes from Cooking Light that I thought would be some good options:

Hot-Pink Smoothies

Popcorn Ball Recipe

Baked Mozzarella Bites

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Dipped Pretzels

Banana Fluffer Nutters

Creamiest Chocolate Pudding

Blueberry-Peach Ice Pops

You may be seeing a variation on one or two of these snacks in the near future. Everyone have a great Tuesday!!!!!
