Try Batiste for the days you do not have time to wash your hair.

Today I would like to share another product I found through Tomoson which is Batiste Dry Shampoo  and was sent for a review. Before I begin  the review though I would like to let you know I was sent one can of Batiste  but the thoughts in the review are all mine and mine alone.

My step daughter Leslie is in High School ROTC and she is always having to go out and do camp outs and things. Being a teenager she hates when her hair is a mess and so I thought it would be fun to try out Batiste  and if it worked to purchase some for her as school starts soon.

Once my can of Batiste arrived I showed it to her and my Niece as they where both going to the Water Park that day and asked to take it and share it with there friends. So I knew Leslie and Alex liked it.

I called Leslie  that night to see how Batiste  worked and neither Leslie or Alex   could stop RAVING  about Batiste  and asked me to send them the link to the website as they and there friends wanted to purchase some so they would have it when they went back to school.

I asked them if they had saved any for me to try and they did which was nice as I also saw for myself how well it worked. I even had both David and Charlie use some and they agreed it would be nice to have on hand.

I liked that Batiste  did not make my hair greasy or that it did not weigh it down. The smell was nice but not too overpowering.

 I think it would make a nice gift for a Teenager or a Bride who is going on her Honeymoon to the Beach or the Ocean.

I would even use Batiste on  small children as it did not bother Charlie and it helped when we where out and about and his hair ended up all sweaty.

I know if my mother and sister knew about it they also would order some and try it out as they travel a lot.

I was sent Batiste Dry Shampoo in Floral and Flirty Blush. I was afraid the scent would be overpowering but it was not. In face once it was in my hair I could barely smell it so someone who is sensitive to fragrances could still use this. I liked knowing it is made with Rich Starch instead of Cornstarch as Cornstarch will weigh your hair down.

Another thing I like is that if you color  your hair they have items that will help with the 

Touch Ups.  So this is something else I can not wait to try out.

Plus my family  wants  to check out some of the different fragrances and I know to watch the site as they come out with new ones all the time.

 Batiste offers y  a wide variety of items and I can not wait to try them out. If you would like to as well you can see them at: http://www.neotericcosmetics.com/batiste/products.html

They also offer a newsletter and I signed up and I hope you will as well.

If you are looking for a way to make some extra cash you should check out there affiliate program as I may.

They even have items for a Diabetic and since my mother and brother n law both are I will be looking into these items as I would like to order them some for Christmas.

If you have not heard of Batiste I hope you take the time to check it out as I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Product Description

Summers are full of events, outdoor activities and long weekends. Batiste is a quick and convenient way to give your hair the boost it needs! Batiste banishes oily roots and revitalizes greasy, dull & lifeless hair between washes, without water. Most dry shampoos are made with corn starch - but not Batiste! It's made with rice starch, which is lighter on your hair so it won't weigh it down or leave a heavy residue! It can also be used to add volume to fine hair. Give Batiste a try when you're running late, camping, or just because you want to!

Simone France http://www.SimonFrance.com

I have never been one to worry about my skin and how or what I use to clean it. I know that this is not good but I am always so busy that I just throw water on it and walk out the door. But with me approaching 50 soon I knew that I should start to take better care of my skin. I am already older than all of Charlies friends moms and I would hate to embarasse him or David. So I decided to look around the internet and see what I could find. I found a site called Simone France and you can check it out at http://www.SimoneFrance.com I am so glad I found them as they offered a skin diagnosis that showed me what I was doing wrong. Plus they helped me pick out the right products for my skin type. With Leslie turning 18 this year I will have her visit the site as well as I would like to start her out on the right kin care regimen while she is still young. I would hate for her to become my age and not know what she should or should not do. The products I was sent from Simone Francis are wonderful and easy to use. They do not burn. My skin does not turn red. Plus it does not burn and my skin is not shinny. Nor is it greasy. Even my neighbors have commented on how much better my skin looks. This makes me happy as I felt like I looked horrible. I think it would be fun for my friends to visit the site and have there skin diagnosed as well as it would show them what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong and I could get them some of the items for Christmas. So let me share with you the products I was sent. The first was Simone France Light Milk A bevy of natural moisturizing factors and gentle skin cleansers give Light Milk its smooth, fluffy texture. It gently dissolves surface dirt, oil and makeup and leaves your skin soft and fresh. Use it to remove your eye makeup and give the delicate skin around your eyes a nightly nourishing treatment. Light Milk should be used every evening before going to bed and as needed mid-day or before applying makeup for an evening out.

I like that this one is used to remove make up. Plus I like that it can be used not only at bedtime but during the day. It did not sting or burn and it does not leave my skin greasy. This is something I would purchase for my nice and also for Leslie. I can tell you I could tell a difference once I used it. I even let my neighbor's try it and they all liked it a lot. Simone France Refining Scrub.

Best when used as directed in our Sandwich method. Melts as you add water for a custom texture to meet your skin's needs 2 oz $40 Best Value! Lasts 2-3 months ½ oz $20 Great for Travel! Lasts 2 to 3 weeks Gently deep cleans pores and exfoliates. Melts as you add water for a custom texture for your skin's needs. You won't believe how soft, fresh and young your face will look and feel the moment after you use these unusual polishing grains. Refining Scrub melts as you add more water, so you can adjust it to the perfect texture for your individual skin. It is a key component of the Simone France Sandwich® that provides gentle daily exfoliation and deep pore cleansing. This is not your average scrub! Make sure you use it only as directed in The Sandwich® for a most unusual and effective anti-aging, skin-firming treatment. I like that this offers you skin firming as well as anti aging as I am starting to look old which I hate. I also like that it deep cleans our pores as mine needs it as it has not been done before. Knowing that I can use more or less water to suit my skin is also nice.

This wonderful soufflé-textured cream gives you fantastic results with just the right amount of protection It keeps your skin soft and fresh and feeling good all day. Light and effective, it also makes an excellent night cream. It's the definitive answer for anyone who prefers a lighter, skin-firming moisturizer and for those who live in hot, humid climates. With me living in Texas and our hot and humid summers I was excited to try this out and I can tell you I am glad I did as it works so well. It is one of my favorite products and one that I will get again.

100% organic French milled bar. With our special method it will never dry your skin! Throughout history soap has remained the world's best cleansing agent. Simone found a way to get soap's fantastic cleansing benefits without drying or irritating your skin. (Hint: It’s not just soap and water!) This superlative, pure, unscented soap, when used in our unique Sandwich® method, becomes the best possible cleansing agent for your skin. This long-lasting, French-milled bar instantly works into a rich, abundant lather. Great for both face and body.

I love that this soap has no scent to it that would bother anyone around you. I also like that it lathers up fast and quickly. Knowing that it does not make my skin greasy is another plus. I would use this soap all the time if I could.

Classic toner for all skin types. Use after cleansing milk or to refresh throughout the day. This revitalizing face toner gently sweeps away any traces of cleansing milk, excess oil or impurities Cleans and tones your pores. A Simone France classic, it will never dry or irritate your skin. It is a wonderful mid-day skin freshener and a must after Rich Milk or Light Milk to thoroughly complete the cleansing process. I like that this Toner does not dry out my skin like the one I used to use did. I also like that it did not burn my skin. Knowing that I can use it at night and also at mid day was nice. I would like to purchase this one for Leslie as well.

or everyone. The same custom-weave cloths Simone uses during her famous facials. Use them to remove cleansers, masks, nail polish, make up, also great for gentle cleansing on infants and kids. These are the same positively addicting cloths used by Simone during her famous facials. They have no product on them -- it's their unique texture and absorbency that make them so effective and much better than cotton or tissues. Great for everyone. Will not irritate even the most sensitive skin. * Ideal for problem skin which requires extra hygiene. * Fantastic for use on babies and young children. * Wonderful for removing masks. This must-have beauty essential is an integral part of our Sandwich morning cleansing routine and our Touch and Glow evening cleansing routine. Use the larger ones when cleaning your face morning and night and to clean up babies and young children's skin anywhere on their bodies. Use the smaller ones to remove eye make up with Rich Milk or Light Milk. No matter what products you use, these cloths are a must-have for removing any cleanser or mask from your face. I used these and I feel in Love with them and have decided they are a must have. I like knowing I can use them on Charlie as well as myself. Knowing they come in 2 different sizes is also a plus. I would take these everywhere I go and share them with anyone who wears make up or has a baby or a small child as they are safer than the products most of us use. I also like knowing there is no cleanser on them. I used them on one side of my face and a cotton ball on the other side and the cloths from Simon France worked out so much better. Knowing that Simone France has Gift Kits will allow me to add it to my wish list and make Davids Christmas Shopping so much easier as I would like for him to get this kit for me.

So here is the kit I will ask David for. Or he could get me some of the items for my hands. Or he could be nice and just get me a Gift Certificate and I can pick out which items I would like. If you are running out of time then you could ask them to wrap your present for you and include a note and all you would have to do is to stick it under the tree once it arrived. Glenda

Rub A Dub Dub!! One Clean Doggy!!

To me my puppy Sandi is more than just a "DOG" she is my best friend. I love her so much. She is treated just like the family in so many ways. Sometimes my husband says I treat her better than him. The thing is though I was given her by David right after Suzzane was killed and so she quickly became my best friend. She was the one I would take to about Suzzane. Plus she did not mind when I would curl up with her and cry.

Then Charlie was born and he became my best friend but Sandi is still my baby girl. I Love her so much and would buy her anything.

Then Charlie got his puppy Lucy from his sister Leslie. She is treated as well as Sandi is only by Charlie as I do not do much with her as she is not mine.

So with Sandi she is white and black and her skin drys out so much that I am always looking for ways to make it softer and for her to be clean. As she has a tendency to scratch and make her skin bleed which I hate.

Lucy is a Chi Weenie and she is yellow and so she does not do this. Plus her skin is not dry and she does not scratch. So she can take a bath in any type of soap.

Sandi has to have special soap and so I found her some Oat Meal soap and it worked for a while but then it stopped.

So I went on a hunt for a new soap for her. I found Molly's Suds. I wanted to try Molly's Suds as they where made by a mom and I thought that they would be better for Sandy. With these she does not scratch. her coat is shinny and soft and no matter how many baths I give her she does not fight me as she knows she will fell better after I use it..

For me I like that it is 1000% natural. it has no harsh chemicals which is a huge plus. It has no fragrance in it and it is Dye Free which I am so happy to hear.

The soap even has a nice smell. I like that it has Peppermint in it and that it helps repel fleas. I also like that it has Lavender in it as we all know it can calm you.
