TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo

TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TRESemmé. All opinions are 100% mine.

Hello darlings! By now you all know I am uber loyal to the TRESemmé brand. I have yet to use a shampoo, conditioner or styling product I have not liked. TRESemmé now has a complete line of dry shampoos to revive your hair's look and feel on those days you skip your regular shampoo routine. These dry shampoos are formulated to absorb excess oils, remove odor and rejuvenate hair without a single drop of water, hence dry shampoo! 

Each product includes bursts of citrus extracts that leave hair with a clean, fresh scent. I typically wash my hair every 2 days, 3 on occasion so using dry shampoo helps get rid of the many odors hair can absorb, such as disgusting second hand smoke, food and typical air pollution. I am sensitive to orders and cannot take it if my hair does not smell clean! Here are some tips to get the best results from TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo:

• Shake well before use and in between sprays for best results
• Lift sections of dry hair and spray lightly at your roots
• Spray in short bursts, holding the container about 8-12 inches from your head
• Don’t spray it all over and continuously like it is hair spray!
• Leave it in for 1-2 minutes
• Use your fingertips or a brush to distribute the product evenly
• If clogging occurs, remove and rinse the nozzle under warm water, then reattach. (It's very easy)

YouTube beauty guru, Elle Fowler, recently did a video titled Top Hair Products for School which includes a demonstration on how to use TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo and why she loves it. Check out Elle's video below (TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo section starts at about 5:55 in the video):

The full line of TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo includes:

• Strengthening Dry Shampoo: Formulated with B12 vitamins and keratin to help strengthen hair and leaves it full of healthy body.
• Volumizing Dry Shampoo: With mineral clay and citrus, removes oil while injecting hair with salon-gorgeous volume.
• Smoothing Dry Shampoo: Includes Vitamin H & Silk Proteins that refreshes your straight style by removing excess oil, impurities and odor to ensure your smooth look lasts.
• Moisturizing Waterless Foam Shampoo: Formulated with Witch Hazel, Citrus, and Aloe Vera that refreshes your hair by removing excess oil, impurities and odor while moisturizing hair.

I personally prefer the strengthening dry shampoo because I prefer products that will help keep my hair strong and healthy due to fact that I blow dry, curl or flat iron my hair often. If you use TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo or want to try it, leave a comment below telling which you prefer!

No Contract Mobile Service - Net10

No Contract Mobile Service - Net10

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Net10. All opinions are 100% mine.

Well my darlings, I am officially over my mobile service contract malarkey. I love my cell phone and the service I've received but contracts with my service provider are so ridiculous! I want to be able to switch plans or phones without extending my contract or having to pay full price of $500 for a phone. To get out of my contract I would  have to wait until it ends and purchase any new device I want from that point on at full price which is easily $500 or more. Or I could simply cancel...and be charged a $350 ETF (Early Termination Fee). Yea, that sounds splendid! So my solution is to find a prepaid service that offers what I need with no contract...ever!

Net10 offers some pretty attractive plans. If I did not require a ginormous amount of airtime I would go with their Easy Minutes plan for just $15 for 200 minutes! Paying just $15 for phone service would be like 80 pounds of weight lifted off my shoulder. But I need more airtime than that because I simply don't know how to hush my talk box. So in reasearching, I would definitely want Net10's Unlimited plan that includes unlimited talk, text and data for $50 per month. Seriously? The unlimited plan with my current provider is $89.99 before taxes not even including data, total my monthly bill comes to about $120 before taxes. So with Net10 I'd save at least $70 per month, which is...$840 per year. I think I just found another reason to get out of the contract world! My contract is craptastic, I felt just like the woman in this see the Light video. I also checked out the video of a real NET10 customer while I was on YouTube.

Net10 offers phones from manufacturers like LG, Motorola and Samsung with simple talk & text phones starting under $15, feature phones starting under $40 and touch screens starting under $60. You get nationwide coverage, no contract, no extra fees and can switch plans anytime you want...all with no credit check. Did I mention that I use a business number and a personal number? So I could get 2 phone lines from Net10 for the price of 1 phone line from my current provider. I also found that Net10 has Twitter and Facebook page so I will check those out as part of my search for a new phone provider. Although I haven't made the switch yet, I will definitely keep Net10 on my list as I compare my options. I am beyond ready to say goodbye to contracts!

Give Back: My Coke Rewards For Schools

Give Back: My Coke Rewards For Schools

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of My Coke Rewards. All opinions are 100% mine.

Many of us are always on the hunt for ways to give back and lend a helping hand to those in need, our favorite causes and our communities. My Coke Rewards for schools makes it extremely easy to do just that. As many of you know, my nephew moved with us this summer and he will be attending school here in Florida for the first time at the local middle school. As a parent, teacher, school or member of any community it is so important to make sure students have the materials needed for activities.

Think about how many times you purchase a bottle of Coca-Cola and toss the bottle in the recycle bin. Imagine if those purchases helped a local school. My Coke rewards for schools lets you redeem those purchases for points for your school of choice. Those points provide schools with classroom supplies, books, sports equipment and more! Here is how it works:

• Purchase participating Coca-Cola products
• Enter codes at mycokerewards.com/schools to get points
• Pick your school and donate points
• Your school uses points to get rewards!

It's as simple as that! There are 15 participating Coca-Cola brands: Coca-Cola, Coke Zero, Diet Coke, Sprite, Dasani, Powerade, Minute Maid, Fanta, Vault, Barq's, Fresca, Pibb, Mello Yello, Nestea and Seagram's. Make sure you redeem the points so your purchases help a school and encourage the registration of your local schools if they are not participating yet. It feels great knowing my love of Cherry Coke will help my nephew's school get the supplies needed!

Also from July 13, 2011 to September 30, 2011 Sprite Spark Parks for Schools is giving 25 schools playgrounds worth $25,000! You can help by purchasing and entering a code from any Sprite/Sprite Zero package to gain an entry in the sweepstakes for your school. In addition the school will get an additional entry for every 3 points donated through the Sprite Sparks Parks for Schools sweepstakes. Any new school that registers can win. Sounds pretty cool to me! Now go help your school by redeeming your purchases!
