Review: Dr.’s Remedy Nail Polish

August 13, 2011 By 3 Comments

I have four little girls, so good nail polish is incredibly important to us!  I was thrilled to try out Dr.’s Remedy to see what I thought!

About Dr.’s Remedy (from their website)

Dr.’s REMEDY is a line of doctor-inspired cosmetics that is dedicated to using clean, hypo-allergenic ingredients. The birth-child of two New York-based podiatrists, Dr. Adam Cirlincione and Dr. William Spielfogel, Dr.’s REMEDY proves quintessentially-perfect for any person looking to better the condition of her skin and nails.

Their mission is:  To provide women with a healthier, safer nail polish alternative. To educate parents on the need for healthier cosmetics for their children. To prove to consumers that they don’t have to sacrifice health for beauty.

Dr.’s REMEDY is the first nail polish to receive the Seal Of Approval of the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA).

Like them on Facebook!

My Thoughts

I got FIVE different colors in the mail and they are ALL awesome!  I was just hoping for some pretty polishes that would strengthen my unhealthy nails and I got so much more!  They are big bottles!  We’re not talking the $1 Wet n Wilds by any means!  They are .5 fl oz.  They have Tea Tree Oil, Vitamins, and Wheat Protein!  They have NO Dibutylphthalate, Toluene, or Formaldehyde!  We opened them up and although they still have the nail polish smell, it isn’t strong at all!  I was able to paint mine and all four of my girls’ nails and there was no after smell!  I was comfortable even painting my baby’s nails, because there weren’t all of those harsh chemicals!  I just painted her toenails (while she was sleeping).  I still wouldn’t suggest painting baby/toddler’s fingernails, especially if they suck their thumb, but my 2-year-old (resident thumb-sucker) did have her nails painted and the thumb she sucks is now paint-less.  So, you can use it as a deterrent to help stop thumb-sucking (because they’ll lose their nail color).  The colors are very vibrant!  My nails are already feeling stronger and healthier (after only a week)!  I LOVE them!

My daughter’s nails, using all of the colors to make flowers.

Buy it!

They are $17 each here.

Giveaway: Just Jen Personalized T-shirts

August 3, 2011 By

I am the Queen!!  Yes, it says so on my shirt – “Queen Donna”.  No one needs to know that I had that shirt made for myself (so don’t tell anyone, especially my kids.)  Actually, I could have had it say anything, but being the queen fits me.  Where did I get it?  At Just Jen, of course!   Not only do they have lots of shirt styles to pick from, but they are all “bling-y” too!!  What queen doesn’t need tshirt queen 203x300 Giveaway: Just Jen Personalized T shirtssome sparkly stuff to wear?

The shirt sent to me was such soft material too!  It fit well (sizes run a little bit small, so order a bigger size to be safe.)  I picked out a bright pink for myself, but they have lots of colors & styles to choose from.

These aren’t just any t-shirts either.  They are personalized t-shirts, to fit whatever occasion you might need them for.  Birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, even bridal party t-shirts!  Yes, you can outfit all the members of your bridal party for that girls’ night out before the nuptials, in sparkling, matching shirts!

They also have darling shirts for the younger girls too – teens and little girls.  My daughter is trying to convince me that she needs her own (and I am leaning towards getting her a princess shirt to go with my Queen one.)  She’s a clothes horse though, and she’d want one of each of them!  My poor pocketbook could not handle that at all.

One of you lucky readers though, will win a shirt of your choice from Just Jen!!  The winner can choose any existing or custom Just Jen t-shirt (no hoodies though.)  The hardest part will be picking which ONE you want most!!

REQUIRED ENTRY: Visit the Just Jen site and tell us which shirt you’d like to win.

@TropicanaOJ Trop50 Video Review and Mocktail Recipes #BlogHer #Tropimomma

July 27, 2011 By Leave a Comment

new flavors thumb @TropicanaOJ Trop50 Video Review and Mocktail Recipes #BlogHer #Tropimomma

Just in time for summer, Tropicana Trop50 introduces Lemonade and Raspberry Lemonade. These new varieties deliver the refreshment of lemonade with 50 percent less sugar and calories, and no artificial sweeteners. To help people feel fabulously refreshing, Trop50 partnered with Giuliana Rancic, from E! and FabFitFun.com fame, to share advice on how to look and feel good this summer. Together, they also are doing what is often done at a lemonade stand … raising money for a good cause.

“I’m always looking for new ways to feel refreshed, especially with my hectic schedule,” said Rancic. “Tropicana Trop50 is a great option for me because each 8-ounce glass squeezes in a full day’s supply of vitamin C and is a good source of the antioxidant vitamin E. I also love what Trop50 is doing to celebrate women supporting women to look good and feel fabulous through Dress for Success Worldwide.”

One 8-ounce glass has an entire day’s worth of Vitamin C!  I know, right?  I tell you, Giuliana seem so fun, I can’t wait to meet her at BlogHer!

So, we all tried the new flavors and I like them, but click through to my site to watch Zack give it his taste test.
