KISS nails...how will they hold up?

A lot of women have posted pics of their everlasting KISS french manicures.  I have a set of these sitting at home...will they work, how long will they last? I'm active...I type a lot....I have two dogs....I'm a skeptic that these will last more than an hour.  Maybe the key is you just wear these on the night you need them, and for a few hours you'll have nails to die for?  

For the ladies...new tampons by Playtex?

 




#Influenster sent some "feminine" samples in their latest #springvoxbox and fortunately for me I got use them during my last trail half marathon.  Let's say they were great...in a 13 mile race with no bathrooms, out in the wild, the last thing you need to worry about is your monthly friend.  By the way...I really hate the term "feminine products"....it's so old school.  BLEH....

Spring VoxBox by Influenster is here!

So I received my box of beauty samples from Infuenster and already tried out a couple things.  Rimmel's Scandalous lash mascara adds a length and coats each lash without clumping.  It's a must for your beauty bash essentials.  

The only downside? I washed my face and came out of the shower looking like a racoon.  It took a bit of eye remover to take it all off ...its long lasting but not water proof so keep that in mind.  As I use more of the products, I"ll be sure to update you here! 

T-minus 3 days to Paleo

So I'm finally going for it...Paleo. I have no upcoming marathons....which is my excuse for never having tried it before.  "I needs my carbs when I'm running," so whats my excuse now?

I have none. So until October 12th (vacation time) I'm going full blown paleo.  Goodbye mac and cheese, farewell my morning oatmeal, and as Heidi Klum would say auf Wiedhersen my Asian staple rice.

I'm starting to think it won't be so bad, lots of people are doing it. (Thats what they all say before they drink the Kool-Aid..which is not paleo btw).

Schwarzkopf products - MUST...GET..MORE

So I tried this product last week on already dry hair and it gave me some volume and made it easier to texturizing, puff, and curl.  

Well today after a 7am boot camp I sprinkled some into my limp hair, rubbed it in and I've got the best post-gym hair ever.  I've never been able to get any volume into my hair after it ring sweaty, wet, and limp.  Not to mention I'm way over due for a haircut so my hair weighs about 10lbs right now!  

Miracle in a little red bottle? Yes! I can't wait to try more of their products!!  This stuff is a must have...had my hair not been a little wet....I could have really had some big fabulous hair. 

Manicure in a flash

So we all love the look of a unique nail for a night on the town right?  But who has one to DIY or spend a ton of time waiting in the salon?  

Well Impress Mani had the perfect solution.  In a variety of colors an even some wild animal prints, you can have fabulous nails in 10-15 minutes.  It took me about a minute to just do two nails!!! And they'll last through the night and you'll get plenty of compliments on your trendy fingernails :) 

Secret's not so secret....

So I normally wear Secret's clinical strength deodorant because I'm really active.  But pulling my tops and sports bra on a couple times a day - I'm left with white marks up and down my tops.  I've gotten used to putting them on a certain way to avoid those pesky deodorant marks.

But recently, I tried Secret's Outlast which is made to avoid those gross white marks that will never come out of your little black dress until it's next visit to the dry cleaners.

How did it work? Well..no white marks for me so far. I think I sweat a bit more during my runs BUT how much is a little more sweat when you're running 13 miles? Exactly..not noticeable at all :)

A good deodorant to have on hand when you know you'll be in a wardrobe change :)
