Why I Started Using Gentle Cleaning Products In My Home

Morning everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today I’m talking about why I started using gentle and hypoallergenic products in my home.  Ever since I became pregnant with Beck, I’ve been super mindful about the cleaning products I use around my house, especially my laundry detergent since we lay on our bed sheets every day and dry off with bath towels after every shower. So I started using Tide Free & Gentle laundry detergent PODS because not only are they hypoallergenic, free of dyes and perfumes, but they are also tough on dirt, food and stains. I can use the detergent on my own clothes, sheets and towels without having to worry that they’ll irritate my skin or cause my baby to have any skin sensitivities.

Additionally, Tide PODS are better for the environment because the product formula uses less water, they work in cold water and they clean better so I don’t end up wasting more water re-washing my clothes.

Lastly, over the past few years I started noticing that cleaning products with strong scents cause me to have headaches or bother my allergies, so I always like to avoid products with strong fragrances.

Also, I fortunately don’t struggle with eczema or psoriasis, but if you do, you’ll be glad to know that Tide is recognized by both the National Eczema Association (NEA) and the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF), based on an exclusive partnership, and have received Seal of Recognition from the NPF and Seal of Acceptance™ from the NEA. The NPF’s Seal of Recognition highlights over-the-counter products that are recognized to help ease irritation for those living with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis or those with sensitive skin or limited mobility. The NEA has also provided Tide Free & Gentle with the Seal of Acceptance™ that recognizes it as an exceptional detergent for eczema and other types of sensitive skin.

The pacs are super easy to use. All you do is toss in one laundry pack for small and medium loads, 2 pacs for Large/X-Large loads and 3 pacs for XX-Large loads. Be sure to never add Tide PODS® Free & Gentle to the dosing drawer. Just throw them into your washer machine, add in your laundry and then start the machine.

A New Mom’s Best Friend

Happy Friday friends! It’s been a minute since I’ve been able to write a blog post ever since the baby arrived. It’s also been a minute since I’ve had time for other things like my hair, skin and nails! LOL Thankfully, when it comes to my hair, I was introduced to the new Pantene Waterless Collection. Because what new mom has time to wash her hair every other day?! I’ve been loving using the Never Tell Dry Shampoo Spray and the Mist Behaving Dry Conditioner Mist.  Not only does the Pantene dry shampoo smell amazing, but it’s also residue free so it doesn’t leave any powder behind in my hair. Plus, it’s made with Pro-Vitamin B5, wild mint, and tapioca and specifically designed to freshen any hair type.  So, it’s basically a new mom’s best friend! I like using before I go to bed at night, so I wake up with fresh hair and I also like to apply it before I style my hair.

The Mist Behaving Dry Conditioner Mist is great for keeping your hair hydrated in between washes. It’s also sulfate free and paraben free with the delicious scent of peach and fresh coconut milk. I like spraying it on my ends for a healthy hydrated look and touchable feel.

Both the Pantene dry shampoo and dry conditioner mist have been some of my favorite go-to hair products ever since I had the baby because they instantly make my hair look, feel and smell fresher in just seconds of use. I’ll say it again… new mom’s best friend!

Holiday Party Style: Glam Off The Shoulder Gown

Hi everyone, now that Thanksgiving and all of the cyber madness has come to an end, we can finally start focusing on the good stuff: holiday party looks. I’m kicking off my holiday party style series with this glam off the shoulder gown from ModCloth. This stunning formal dress is perfect for a black tie wedding or a fancy holiday party. I styled the dress with plenty of jewels, a pink party bag and a lux faux fur stole to add to the glam factor of the gown. What I love most about this dress is the flattering neckline and high slit. It makes me feel so confident and luxurious like I’m in a James Bond movie! Haha! I’m serious though especially with the updo hairstyle and faux fur stole!

Outfit Inspiration For Your Summer Vacations

Good morning readers, I’m so excited for my trip to Dominican Republic this weekend so I thought I’d share a couple of easy dresses that I’m packing as outfit inspiration for your summer vacations. I don’t like to have to worry about actually styling my outfits while on tropical, beach vacations so I always pack plenty of colorful and printed throw-on dresses and rompers. This way I can just change up my accessories from day to night and still wear the same outfit if I don’t have time to change before dinner. Just make sure to pack plenty of jewelry and accessories and some nude/tan sandals that go with everything.
