Zarbee's Naturals Kids Vitamins @ Walmart

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





 I have the pickiest child on the face of the planet when it comes to trying new foods. You probably think that's an exaggeration but it definitely isn't. He is totally grossed out by the thought of even trying anything that appears to have a strange texture or look. I was super excited to try Zarbee's Naturals Kid's Multivitamin.  Other vitamins I have tried he ends up spitting out because of the taste or they taste so good that I realize after reading the ingredients that all I am giving him is a fancy fruit snack. Immediately I realized Zarbee's was different  just like they state "All Yum. No Yuck." Landon tried it and was right away pleased with the taste! Which was a huge sigh of relief. Zarbee's Naturals Kid's Multivitamin is specially formulated for different age groups, their honey-sweetened kids' vitamins and gummy supplements help you fill in their nutritional gaps safely and deliciously. Along with a great taste they have
  • No high fructose corn syrup.
  • No artificial flavors
  • No artificial colors
  • No artificial sweeteners
  • No gelatin
  • Gluten-Free
  • Formulated with 11 essential vitamins like A,C and B12
  • Sweetened with honey
  • Made with fruit pectin
  • Natural Flavors
  • Toddler 2+, Children's 4+
Zarbee's Naturals has a "Yummitment" Satisfaction Guarantee. This statement I can totally stand by. Landon gives them a definite thumbs up! For once their was no bribing him to take his vitamin.

Like I have previously mentioned my son is a super picky eater and it is hard to get him to try new textures or things. Below I have listed some tips on how I get him more comfortable with trying something new.

We go to the store together to pick out the product so he sees just what he will be trying. 


Next, we look at the bottle and both love the cute little bees on the bottle! 

We pour out a handful and inspect. Landon loves that they appear to look better than most vitamins we have tried. I can already tell he is becoming more comfortable with the product. 

Super cute and the perfect size for him to swallow. 



Last, he tries one and gives it a thumbs up!



I hope these tips help if you have a picky eater like I do!

This product is totally new to Walmart so head on over to your favorite Walmart location along with this $5.00 off Kid's Multivitamins of the children's or toddler variety. This coupon is ONLY redeemable at Walmart for a limited time!

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?

John Frieda Brilliant Brunette


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



After recently having a baby I've had a few people ask me how I have the energy to keep up with my hair.  I actually have two secrets that save so much time when it comes to my hair color.  Today I thought I would share some of my tips with you guys since I know a lot of you are moms on the go.

In between visits to my hairstylist, I usually use some kind of at home color treatment to keep my color fresh.  At home color kits can still take forever to use though and aren't usually the best for your hair. Sometimes  I just want a subtle lift versus a huge change that my stylist might have to correct.  I found the brand new John Frieda Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Brighter™ line at Walmart and purchased 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 was excited to head home and try out these new products!





I started first by using the brand new Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Brighter™ In-Shower Treatment. . This product is not available in all Walmart locations but you can definitely get it delivered to the comfort of your home by clicking here for your own hair color experience.

This product instantly lightens for a sun-kissed brunette along with lightening up to 1 shade instantly! A big plus is it will only lighten your natural spectrum, so hair won't appear bleached or orange along with being safe for natural, highlighted, and color-treated brunettes.

The treatment was super easy all you have to do is wet your hair and apply the entire contents to your hair. You can concentrate on your hair regrows or cover your hair entirely. I just mainly concentrated on my roots. Let sit on your hair for 5 minutes and rinse! I shaved and washed the rest of my body while it sat on my hair to save some time. 


Next up was the Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Brighter™ Subtle Lightening Shampoo.
This product will gradually brighten for natural-looking sun-kissed brunette and illuminates glowing tones.
I gently massaged the shampoo into wet hair, got a good lather going and rinsed. I love when a shampoo gets a really good lather and this one did not disappoint. Along with the great smell of cocoa and evening primose oil. I was an immediate fan. 


For the final step I then applied the Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Brighter™ Subtle Lightening Conditioner. This conditioner will visibly boost the brightness of your brunette daily. I applied to wet hair from root to end let sit for about a minute then rinsed. I could right away tell my hair was softer. I normally have an issue with tangles and could already tell my brush was going to go through with ease. 



I will definitely continue to use this line of products in between my hair appointments. Not only did they give my hair that boost of lightness that I crave during the summer, it left my hair silky smooth and smelled great! The hair color experience with just the Visibly Brighter™ Shampoo and Conditioner was so much easier than what I'm used to doing. Don't believe me? Give it a try and check out some of their social media links below!

all® free clear

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



As a family we all struggle with sensitive skin. From my frequent skin redness due to the changing weather to my son breaking out due to the pollen outdoors. With all of us suffering from skin sensitivities, I decided it would be a great idea for us to try a dye and fragrance free detergent for all our of clothes, sheets and towels. I will be honest at first I disliked the thought of not having that "fresh out of the laundry smell" but, figured it was totally worth it for my family's well being. However, once I started using the all® free clear Mighty Pacs®  I knew I had made the right decision. No break outs. No itchy skin. Nothing but clean laundry for my entire family! all® free clear Mighty Pacs®  
are #1 Recommended brand by Dermatologists, Allergists, and Pediatricians. Not only do the all® free clear Mighty Pacs® remove 99% of top everyday and seasonal allergens like cat and dog dander, dust mite matter, ragweed, grass, and tree pollen, it also allows your family to look and feel their best while living free from sensitive skin worries.

*disclaimer: all free clear is not intended to treat or prevent allergies





I purchased my all® free clear Mighty Pacs® at my local Sam's Club. The product was super easy to spot and I was out the door to start my laundry! 



I love the mighty pacs. Super easy to use, especially for a mom on the go. Throw one pac in with your laundry and you are good to go! 
 Always remember to follow the directions for use on the packaging exactly, and not to over use the products by putting too much product in one load.


I love the fresh seal pouch. Not only does it keep the laundry pacs fresh its an easy breezy way of storage. Try it for yourself next time you are at your local Sam's Club. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
