Huggies OverNites + Natural Care Wipes

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #EveryoneSleeps #CollectiveBias




At seven months old Presley is now kinda, sorta starting to sleep through the night. Lately we have started using Huggies OverNites Diapers along with Huggies Natural Care Wipes. They have all night leakage protection for a full night's sleep up to 12 hours. At least there are no midnight wake up calls due to peed through diapers! With trusted all night protection, Huggies OverNites Diapers are the #1 selling Nighttime diaper and Huggies’ most absorbent diaper to help keep baby’s skin comfortable and dry for a deep sleep and happy day.


Along with Huggies OverNites Diapers we have been using the Huggies Natural Care Wipes . Presley tends to have super sensitive skin and these wipes have Huggies' simplest formula ever, made of 99 percent water for a gentle clean. I also love how these wipes have Triple Clean layers that are gentle on her skin but thick enough to clean up those messes.

With Huggies' becoming a part of our nighttime routine it makes getting ready for bed even easier! 

 First we get all cleaned up in a nice warm bath.

Next, we get all nice and dry and put on a fresh Huggies OverNites Diapers

And finally a happy, clean baby that is ready for bedtime! 

You can pick these diapers up basically anywhere you shopped, I purchased mine at my local Target. Make sure you check out this link for a coupon to use when you go.

John Frieda Brilliant Brunette ~ Beachy Waves

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #RethinkYourColour #CollectiveBias

You may remember this post from a few weeks ago. I was super excited to try out the new John Frieda Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Brighter™  line at Walmart  along with the Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Brighter™ Subtle Lightening Shampoo and Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Brighter™ Subtle Lightening Conditioner as well as the Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Brighter™ In-Shower Treatment. I've been using all of these products for the past few weeks and am loving the texture, color and all around condition of my hair! I love being able to achieve a high end salon look without spending a ton of money!
 If you are unable to find these products at your Walmart location you can definitely have them delivered to the comfort of your home by clicking here for your own hair color experience.


 With summer fast approaching I wanted to share my favorite go to summer hair look. I have always been a huge fan of the beachy wave look and have got it down to a science now without even having to step foot in the sand!






When creating my beachy waves I like to start out with clean, dry hair. After washing my hair I spray John Frieda Sea Waves™  over my entire head and allow my hair air dry over night because my hair tends to have a natural wave to it when it is air dried.


When I wake up the next morning I set my curling wand to the highest setting. My hair is on the thicker side so I have to use the highest heat setting.


I then go through my hair and randomly select pieces to start twirling around the wand. I try not to curl much of the end of my hair and generally just curl the top and leave the ends straight. 

 I keep wrapping my hair around the wand throughout my entire head until I achieve the wave I am looking for. Depending on my mood (or how much time I have) I only curl a few pieces around the front of my face. 

I then flip my head over and shake out any tight curls that may have formed and spray Keraforce™ Intense Hold Hairspray all over and I am good to go!


And just like that, I am ready for a day at the beach, pool or shopping with friends! 

What's your favorite summer hair style? Have you tried the beachy wave trend yet?
