Before I headed out the door to refresh my make up bag, I took a before picture of all the makeup I had left after my end of the season purge and a picture of myself with no makeup and no Allegra!

Yeah, it is pretty bad. However, this is how you typically see me on my normal work day. I also printed out my coupons and made my list. I am not real brand conscientious for make up. I buy what I like, what is on sale, what I have a coupon for , etc. I usually have some Clinique stuff in my bag as I like to get the free gift. I also typically have something Mary Kay and I really like their cleansers and sometimes want to try something new or get something free.

To see my entire shop, be sure to visit my Google+ Album by clicking the image below:

I want to know if you can see the major difference in my before and after pictures. See how puffy my eyes are and the dark circles under them? The Allegra helps to combat all of those symptoms from my allergies!

**Don’t forget to shop at CVS for your Allegra! In the month of May, shoppers can get a 30 count of Allegra for $17.99 with your CVS card! Plus, there is a $5.00 off Allegra printable coupon in the database! Just search for Allegra

If you are reading this post via a reader or email, you will need to click through to see my video of what is in my beauty bag!

I want to say that with allergies and contacts, I typically avoid eye make up unless I absolutely have to go somewhere, then as soon as I walk in the door I quickly wash the make up off so it doesn’t ruin my contacts. With Allegra, I am not rubbing my itchy eyes because they are not itchy! Problem solved!

GIVEAWAY: Ultra Lo-Gly Juice Blend Beverages

May 7, 2012 By Kelli

What better way to keep the kids cool this summer than with low glycemic, low calorie juice beverages? Aside from floating in a pool, I can’t think of anything. LOL!

I say in the video that I am not sure what it the Glycemic Index actually means, so I looked it up:

Originally developed as a tool to help diabetics manage blood sugar control, the glycemic index has found its way into the mainstream weight loss market.

A measure of the power of foods or beverages (or specifically the carbohydrate in a food or beverage) to raise blood sugar (glucose) levels after being consumed.

The GI value of a food/beverage is determined by obtaining blood samples from ten healthy persons the morning after a fast and a few times after eating the test food..

Each person conducts one trial of test food and three trials of the reference food. After the blood is analyzed, the incremental areas under the blood glucose curves are calculated. The ratio of the test food area to the reference food areas gives the GI value.

Zachary got to taste all the flavors of Lo-Gly by himself! Click through the to my website to see what he thought!

One Lucky 3 Boys and a Dog Reader will win 8 bottles of Ultra Lo-Gly and a soft ice cooler!

Giveaway: GlobalEyeGlasses.com

May 4, 2012 By Tabitha

I have terrible eye sight! I know there are some out there with worse prescriptions then mine but mine is pretty bad lol. I have tried to wear contacts but unfortunately my eyes dry out when I get into air conditioning. And of course prescription glasses can be crazy expensive for me! With all the coatings and the thin lenses I have to have, I have spent upwards of $600 for 2 pairs of glasses and that was on a buy one get one free promotion! With four kids and limited vision benefits I need to find places where I can cut corners. This is where GlobalEyeGlasses.com comes in.

Global Eyeglasses is an online eyeglasses retailer bringing clear and perfect vision to people around the world. Offering an amazing selection of prescription eyeglasses and Rx Sunglasses for Men, Women and Children at incredible prices.

Our primary focus is to offer you the highest quality Eyeglass frames and Optical lenses at the best possible price. We can offer you such great prices by cutting all the middle men and overhead expenses of a brick and mortar optical store.

Our friendly customer service team is always there to help you buy prescription glasses online, along with fantastic tools such as Virtual Mirror - which will allow you to try those glasses online, and Frame Size Finder which will help you find the correct size eye-frame. We offer 30 days no questions asked money back guarantee on all purchases.

For my review I chose to get a pair of prescription sunglasses. As I mentioned before, my prescription is pretty hefty so I was limited in my choices but I did manage to find a pair that I was happy with. I stretched myself on this because I don’t normally go for large glasses but I think they look good, what do you think?

I was able to navigate their site quite easily and filter out fames based on price, shape, full rim, half rim, rimless, etc. If you know a specific designer you can also filter it that way. Once you’ve chosen a few frames that you think you might like you can use their Virtual Mirror to “try” them on by uploading a picture of yourself, this is one of my favorite features. Another nice thing is when it comes to sunglasses you aren’t just limited to prescription, you can also buy non-prescription, so if your vision is 20/20 you don’t have to feel left out Once you pick your frames you have options, such as thinner lenses, gradiant or full tint, plus you can choose the color of your tint. Really your choices are endless and very reasonably priced. Once I got the email that my order had shipped, it was mere days before my glasses were in my hands, safely packaged for transport. All glasses come with free single vision lenses, free anti-scratch coating, free case and microfibre cleaning cloth, a 30 day Money back guarantee and a 12 month guarantee.

With frame prices currently ranging from $14 to $49 you can’t go wrong. This is definitely the way to buy cheap eyeglasses, I have been telling all of my friends! Their customer service people I dealt with were amazing, I didn’t have a problem with my order but they did help me to easily find which sunglasses would work for me. I am very happy with my choice and I will be keeping their page bookmarked for when I need new glasses again!

Win it!

One lucky 3 Boys and A Dog reader is going to win $50 to spend on new prescription glasses from GlobalEyeGlasses.com!

REQUIRED COMMENT: Head on over to GlobalEyeGlasses.com, have a look around and tell me which pair of frames you would choose if you won.

Giveaway: Lysol No-Touch Kitchen System

April 21, 2012 By Tamera

My kids are soap hogs, so I was very interested in seeing if this would help! Kelli already tried it out too, and you can check out her post here.

About the No-Touch Kitchen System (from their website)

Lysol created a revolutionary automatic, hands-free dispenser with a multi purpose formula that:

Powers through grease on dishes
Cleans tough messes on surfaces
Kills bacteria on hands as it gently cleanses them

All these great benefits in a no-touch design!

The starter kits are available in Sparkling Tangerine and Shimmering Berry.

The starter kit includes: one dispenser, one 8.5oz refill and three AA batteries.

My Thoughts

I completely LOVE this product! I don’t have to touch anything while I’m cooking and can just wash and wash my hands, no problem! My kids aren’t pumping soap out, so they only use the one squirt it gives them to wash their hands (What a savings right there)! I used it on my scrub brush and the sink came super clean without any problem (including the grease and caked on food)! I can’t say enough good about this, because it’s fantastic! It has a great smell too (I love citrus scents in the kitchen and when cleaning)! I don’t have a problem getting it to dispense and it doesn’t dispense when it isn’t “told” to! Great product! I will absolutely be investing in refills!

Buy it!

You can buy it on Amazon here or at any major retailer.

Win it!

One lucky 3 Boys and a Dog reader will win their very own Lysol No-Touch Kitchen Cleaning System!
