Invisalign: Your Smile Deserves It #SecondOpinion

Invisalign: Your Smile Deserves It  #SecondOpinion

Disclaimer: This is a sponsored post. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own. If you have been keeping up with our family, you know my son's last dentist appointment didn't go so well. He had 3 teeth removed (one by accident) and 2 fillings. Our dentist also gave us a referral to an pediatric orthodontist to get braces. My other child has nearly perfect teeth so this came to quite a shock to me. At this point before I make my way to the orthodontist, I am familiarizing myself with Continue Reading

Being Loved and Fresh n Sexy #shop #FreshNSexy

September 15, 2013 by Maria

Growing up I was never a very physically confident person. But I always had a positive attitude & to this day try to focus on my positive assets versus my pitfalls. Being married for over 16 years, I know my husband is totally in love with me. I'll be the first to admit that I am spoiled by him. He not only is in love with me, but he adores me, worships me and seriously, I have some sort of spell on him which allows him not to see exactly how crazy I really am! Because of this I am always Continue Reading

Balancing Family, Work and Health #HealthcareClinic

August 18, 2013 by Maria

I have been dealing with wrist and finger pain for quite some time. Over the last 2 years my wrist pain has gotten worse. In fact, the pain which is predominately on my right hand has now spread to my left hand as well. But like most women, I don't have time to go to the doctor. I force myself to leave work early for my routine dental appointments. But leaving my job early during the week is very hard. In fact, if I can avoid it, I will. Walgreens has revamped their Take Care Clinics to the Continue Reading

Go Deep!! Philips Sonicare PowerUp Toothbrush #PowerUpUrSmile

July 8, 2013 by Maria

"Deep Clean"~~ I hear those words from my dentist everytime I walked through his office door. Over the last 2 years I have had so much dental work done, nothing cosmetic, all preventative or regular maintenance. My bottom teeth are crowded, so they are very susceptible to cavities and almost every 6 months I refill my booster toothpaste prescription (I use the rx only before bedtime), get a new toothbrush & he reminds me how important I deep clean my lower teeth. A manual toothbrush isn't Continue Reading

28 Days to Supercharge My Metabolism #FastMetabolismDiet

April 30, 2013 by Maria

The Following is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own & can not be influence in any way. Losing weight is something that I have been working on for several years. It seems like I do well for a few weeks then once I plateau, all my good word ends and nothing else is lost. What I have been needing is something to change my mind frame and metabolism. It's not that I eat a overeat or that I'm eating nothing but processed, unhealthy foods either. I need to exercise more and get my slow Continue Reading

Stepping Into Springtime with BIGELOW Tea #AmericasTea

April 14, 2013 by Maria

It's funny how certain seasons triggers specific emotions & memories I had as a child. My grandmother would spend several hours a day in the spring & summer months tending to her large garden. I benefited from the harvest, but I also grew a love for gardening and to this day have a large vegetable garden every springtime. One thing I clearly remembered was my grandmother coming inside on a hot day to enjoy a glass of iced tea. She had boxes of tea on the counter from herbal tea, Continue Reading

Dole Fruit Parfait Healthy Grab & Go Breakfast / Lunch Solution #DoleParfaitEscape

April 2, 2013 by Maria

As a busy mother, time management is a huge issue for me. I struggle at times to find a balance between taking care of my family and taking care of myself. Monday through Friday I head over to work once both my children are at school. I'll admit that I normally grab a cup of coffee and am on my way with no breakfast and possibly no lunch prepared for myself. What then happens is I run to the gas station or hit the vending machine. Woah...Big No-No!! Aside from the added expense of buying Continue Reading
