Enjoy the Holidays with California #Wine Club ~ #wineclub #Giveaway

By 10 Comments

Last month I posted about the perfect holiday gift for the special wine lover in your life, whether they enjoy a casual drink or are a true win connoisseur: the California Wine Club! If you recall, as a member of one of their clubs, each month you will receive two bottles of wine. Every wine they feature comes from a real working artisan winery located in California (obviously!) and is backed by their 100% guarantee.

For the past two months, I’ve received a membership to California Wine Club. Last month they delivered two wines that my friends and I were able to enjoy at one of our dinner parties. Unfortunately, December’s shipment had not arrived by the time this posting was due. As you can guess, an adult signature is required upon delivery. Unfortunately, UPS did not deliver on the day that Mom Spark Media informed me was the delivery date. Luckily I’ve been in contact with California Wine Club and their amazing customer service is ensuring I’ll receive the delivery next week. I can’t wait to try the next two wines.

Save Skin from Dry Winter with NEOSPORIN® ESSENTIALS™

By 6 Comments

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of NEOSPORIN® ESSENTIALS™. All opinions are 100% mine.

Last winter my son’s skin started to dry out and was no longer baby soft and smooth. Patches of dry, itchy, red, inflamed skin started to appear on his back and face. The doctor told me he was in the beginning stages of seasonal eczema! Luckily we caught it early and it was quickly taken care of. If you aren’t familiar with eczema, it’s a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by dry, itchy skin and visible skin rash. In other words… not fun! Eczema isn’t uncommon though. It is estimated that it affects nearly 35 million Americans. That’s 1-3% of adults, and 10-20% of children. Seventy percent of cases start in children younger than 5 years old, which explains why my then 8 month old was starting to suffer from a condition that no one else in the family had experienced before. I was shocked to learn that about 60% of infants who have eczema continue to have one or more symptoms in adulthood.

Winter is quickly approaching again, but this time my family is prepared with NEOSPORIN® ESSENTIALS™! We are huge fans of NEOSPORIN in this household as they are the #1 Doctor recommended brand of over-the-counter topical antibiotic ointments! This new line of “essential” skin care products is designed for specifically for people with eczema. Products include a Daily Moisturizing Cream, Daily Body Wash, and Anti-Itch Cream. There is a unique RELIPID™ formula in each product, which contains a lipid, humectant, emollient and botanical blend to help retain moisture in the skin. This will produce a more radiant and healthy look.

I love that the ECZEMA ESSENTIALS™ Daily Moisturizing Cream is gentle enough for the whole family to use daily. It has been clinically shown to restore visibly healthier skin in 3 days. This cream is amazing in that it it doesn’t just reliece the dryness and itch, but also helps strengthen and restore our skin cell’s natrual barrier function to protect the skin. Allergies? No problem as this cream is fragrance-free and steroid-free.

The MOISTURE ESSENTIALS™ Daily Body Wash is proven gentle and non-irritating even on eczema-prone skin, as it effectively cleanses even the most sensitive skin. The wash contains gentle moisturizers and is safe for daily use by the whole family.

As for the ECZEMA ESSENTIALS™ Hydrocortisone Anti-Itch Cream, it contains a dual-action formula to provide fast relief of itch flare-ups due to eczema while it moisturizes to restore visibly healthier skin. Better yet, this cream is fragrance-free and does not contain antibiotics. It helps reduce the appearance of flaky and red skin.

Tips For Dealing with Dry Skin in the Winter

  •  Keep the skin warm and protected when outside
  • Try a thick, protective moisturizer on the exposed skin to prevent windburn
  • Consider talking to your doctor about supplementing vitamin D during the winter months as many people are deficient and this may play a role in eczema
  • Consider getting a humidifier for bedrooms to help add moisture to the dry air
  • Continue your regular skincare routine with regular bathing and moisturizing, as well as using topical medications when needed

Check out NEOSPORIN® ESSENTIALS™ today and save your skin from a dry and rough winter!

#Save Big at KOHL’S & Urban Outfitters with Coupon Code Zone!

By 1 Comment

With Thanksgiving behind us, businesses are full swing into holiday sales! For the upcoming gift-giving holiday season, pretty much the only thing on my mind is shopping, sales, discounts, and coupons. I’m all about savings, especially when I have many people for whom I would like to buy gifts!

KOHL’S is absolutely one of my favorite places to purchase gifts for others, and well, myself. Even though they opened a new one near me about a year ago, I still prefer to do most of my shopping online. They have such a great selection of clothes, shoes, home items, toys, and more! I’ve been putting an online order together this past week. Once I’m ready to check out, I simply browse the Coupon Code Zone for a Kohls Promo Code to help save on my order. A really helpful aspect of the site is that you can see next to each code the success rate people had with the savings. There were quite a number of 100%!

I found some super cute boots for my sister, and a new cooking set for my brother and his fiancee to use in their new home. As for my son, well, if he is lucky, Santa may just bring him that InnoTab everyone has been talking about. These were just a few items that caught my eye. I can purchase these and more all thanks to the super savings codes I found!

I can’t tell you how excited I was to see that I could search on their site for an Urban Outfitters Coupon! Love love love this shop. Pretty much all through college, at least one piece in my wardrobe each day was from Urban Outfitters. I love that they are not only fashion forward but won’t blow my budget as well. I’ve been meaning to find some new items for my winter wardrobe. With a coupon code, now is the best time!

Since they have so many online exclusives I’ve been dying for, I know now is the best time for an online order. I was able to find codes that will not only take10% off my order, but FREE SHIPPING as well.

I’m super excited to know that this holiday season I’ll be able to easily find promotional and coupon codes to use on gifts for my loved ones (and for myself)! Happy Shopping!

Share a Story and Share the Love with Cesar! ~ #ShareTheLove

By 12 Comments

You know what I always loved about my dogs? How gentle, kind, and loving they are! It’s like they just know when you had a tough day. Our bigger dog Fred, we actually considered having him train as therapy dog for a local convalescent center. Unfortunately timing and scheduling did not work out for this to happen. However, I know in my heart that these dogs are amazing companions to my family.

There are even studies out there that report that a relationship with a dog can improve one’s quality of life, especially for people in need. Dogs are capable of lowering stress, anxiety and even blood pressure. I know for my ex, our dogs were the calming effect for him after a long stressful day at work. His job back then wasn’t an easy one. Most of the time he brought those “work troubles” home. Sometimes it is just hard to shake that off. Curling up on the couch with the dogs was the perfect way for him to relieve stress and start to feel better. These two dogs gave us so much unconditional love, how could they not be part of our family?

Turning a stressful day into a lazy day!
