Take the Pledge to Be an Active Family!

I received $100 from Merck Consumer Care, and any opinions expressed by me are honest and reflect my actual experience. This is a sponsored post for SheSpeaks/Merck Consumer Care.

I love this time of year when the weather starts to warm, the days stay light longer, and all I want to do is be outside! Every day after work, my son and I go for a long travel around our community, whether he’s just in the stroller and I’m jogging or we walk on over to the playground. Either way, it’s great to be outdoors! Plus I like that we are becoming a more active family.

Take the Pledge to Be an Active Family!

Trust me, as a mom I totally understand how hard it can be to juggle work, errands, running the household, cooking dinner, finding time to play with the kids, sports, homework, housework, etc. So many days I just want to come home after work, kick up my feet, and sit on the couch all day. However, like I stated above, I’ve been pushing myself to go outside and enjoy a more active life.

Living in cities set on the bay, we are lucky enough to have boating and other water activities readily available to us. I can’t wait to take my son in the paddle boats in one of our rivers later this year. They are so much fun! Plus my family has already been telling him all about other boats too! He definitely knows though that he needs that life jacket before setting foot aboard. Until then, we are having fun going to the park and planning trips back to the Zoo and amusement parks.

Renew Your Youth with AVEENO POSITIVELY RADIANT Intensive Night Cream ~ #RadiantWithAVEENO

I received this product complimentary through Influenster. This is 100% my own honest opinion and I was not financially compensated.

Renew Your Youth with AVEENO POSITIVELY RADIANT Intensive Night Cream

Since turning 30 (gasp!) this year, I’ve been more attentive to my skin care needs and on how to prevent wrinkles. I’ve been trying creams, serums, washes, lotions, etc. trying to find what works best with my skin and is effective. While it’s a game of trial and error, it has been fun discovering new products I normally wouldn’t have picked assuming I was “too young” to try.

Recently through Influenster I had the opportunity to test out Aveeno Positively Radiant Intensive Night Cream. Now I’m used many Aveeno products before. We are big fans of the brand in this household. I couldn’t be more excited to test out the cream!

Aveeno Positively Radient Intensive Night Cream is created with ACTIVE NATURALS® Total Soy Complex and vitamin B3. These two key ingredients help reduce the appearance of discoloration and uneven skin tones. I love that the cream aims to remove blotchiness on your face and reveal younger and more youthful looking skin!

Renew Your Youth with AVEENO POSITIVELY RADIANT Intensive Night Cream

I couldn’t wait to try this cream! Luckily Aveeno also sent me a soothing eye mask to use with my cream at night. You have to love anything that adds a little more peacefulness to my beauty sleep.

It was great to see the variety of colors and sizes all available on the website. Plus, I had no idea that Sears carries some pretty awesome designers brands that I normally can’t resist. Sears has definitely stepped up their game! Designers include Ray Ban, Michael Kors, DeWalt Tools, Steve Madden, Nike, Vince Camuto, Tory Burch … the list goes on and on. I love that while I’m checking out the affordable Sears brands, I can also see what my favorite luxury designers are offering as well at just one stop.
