We’ve chatted a little bit about exercising and being healthy. Now, let’s chat about what you wear when you put that Richard Simmons tape in and sweat it out to the Oldies. What are your go to items in your closet when you’re planning to do some yoga for that day? I’ll be straight with you, because let’s face it I like sharing totally embarrassing things with you in hopes of finding someone out there who does what I do, I grab my over sized t-shirt and those oh-so-saggy-lost-their-shape-during-my-last-pregnancy pants. Maybe you feel the same, but I don’t usually feel happy, cute, or pumped when I’m dressed like that. It’s not my style, and heaven forbid I have to go to the grocery store right after a run. No one wants to see me in those work out clothes buying cookies! I was really looking for some work out clothes that made me feel like 1) working out and 2) like I didn’t have to duck and cover if I had to stop anywhere on the way home. Enter Soybu and their amazing active fashion clothing. I’m so excited to tell you about them and share with you some of their products so you can jazz up your work out too!

logo-soybu

I really love doing yoga! I can’t do those amazing tripod headstands by any means, but I like the stretching and time to reflect it gives me. I decided to put the pieces to the test during a mini yoga session I did. I completely love the leggings! These are the Allergro Legging in Raffia. They have reinforced stitching and the waist band is wide and supportive. I always struggle with active pants because it seems most  have that super skinny elastic in the waistband and it just cuts into my waist, that is not the case here. Also, I love how I could put these under a  jean skirt any day and not a single person would know they fall into the “active wear” category.

soybucollegeI’m just in love with this top! It is the Lanai Tunic Tank in Raffia. Aside from the comfort, color, and all over cuteness (look at those straps!) I love how long the tank is and how high up the side of the tank comes under my arms. I can do these amazing stretches with out my back showing or feeling the need to pull it down. The tank stays where I put it. I feel like because the sides come up so high I have great support and coverage!

IMG_5055

I love the straps of this tank top! Just that added bit of detail does so much. The fabric on both the top and leggings is a bit thicker than I imagined. It’s not silky like most active clothing. It is extremely stretchy; I never felt restricted during my work out. The fabric also gives me a good hold. I think it will give me enough warmth for any fall activity especially a nice bike ride too!

IMG_5074

This jacket is the cutest! It is the Maura Pullover in Zinnia. It’s has more of the silky athletic wear feel but not quite.  Once again the detail got me! There are flowers and other cute details sewn into the top. It’s warm so I could wear it on a chilly day with any outfit and it makes for a fantastic layering piece too! There are holes on the cuff for your thumbs, which once again helps me not struggle with my clothing while I’m trying to concentrate on my peaceful time.

IMG_5090

The founders of Soybu set out to create clothing for the “Everywoman.” They wanted to create clothing that “would transition with her throughout her day… Soybu’s versatile active wear and lifestyle pieces help women exude beauty, strength, and balance in all they do- whether they’re enjoying a solitary moment of reflection, chasing a toddler, fitting in a hardcore workout, running to catch a flight, or meeting friends for happy hour… The company creates functional, stylish clothing so the Everywoman can get ready and stay ready all day.” I whole heartedly feel this company lived up to their mission!

IMG_5069

As soon as I tried these pieces on I immediately felt covered, comfortable, and cute! I told My Man J that I felt like I should go on a run! I never want to work out if I feel frumpy. I think it is a super important thing to feel happy and beautiful even before you walk into that ‘spinning class’ or bust a move during Zumba. These pieces help me feel that way instantly. We should get to feel beautiful all the time, right? Why not while we work out too! Not to mention that all of the pieces are additions to your wardrobe. Soybu’s new line is filled with amazing pieces like this. I know I’d feel just as amazing in all of them as I do in these. What are your thoughts on feeling good about yourself even before you exercise? I’d love to know what you think!

You should pop over and see what other fantastic pieces they have in their store!

Smile Brilliant! {Giveaway} – CLOSED

April 30, 2014 by

Lets get real and talk about the color of our teeth.  There are lots of reasons why your teeth may not be as while as you’d like, and there are lots of ways to help whiten them back up.  I have used several teeth whitening products in my days, from slimy strips to whitening toothpaste, to medicated substances in syringes and nail-polish size tubes of whitening paint.  I can’t say that one of these products was the earth-shaking solution and that I’ve never tried anything else, because the results have been minimal and clearly, I’m still looking and experimenting, but know that this whitening product from Smile Brilliant is VERY user friendly and fun to use!  I think the results are noticeable and the process is not slimy and the results are quick.
 smile-brilliant
Here you can see the entire kit: a tube of whitening substance, a mouth guard, a brush, and the LED light.  These small articles could go anywhere you need, discreetly.
IMG_0662
Everything is lightweight, but not cheap.  The LED light seems to be well-made and functional.  The high strength light accelerates the whitening process, when paired with the 22% carbamide peroxide tooth whitening gel.
IMG_0663
Ok, get ready for some really up-close and personal pictures!  The first step is to twist the pen until you can see the whitening substance on the pen bristles.  They say it could take up to 40 twists.  Just keep cranking and be patient.  Having the gel in a pen is really convenient and very easy to maneuver.  If you’re good with an eyeliner pencil, you’ll be pro at applying the gel in just right amount and placement.
penI’m happy to report that the gel doesn’t sting, smell, or offend.  You don’t have to worry that getting some of the gel on your gums will make them super irritated.  The directions even encourage you to spread the gel along your gum lines and between crevices.
mouth
The plastic mouthpiece is soft so that it also does not irritate the gums.  It fits comfortably on my set of teeth, and really helps to keep my upper and lower lip out of the way when I’m using the LED light.  So about that light…the directions say to hold it in front of your gelled teeth for 20-40 minutes, and then keep the gel and tray in place for another 1-3 HOURS!!  So is holding something in your hand at mouth level for 20-40 min annoying?  Sure, but its not heavy or very awkward.  Just annoying.  I have yet to keep the system in place for more than 25 minutes, but I’m building up to that.  I save these teeth sessions for Dancing with the Stars nights where I can sit for an extended amount of time and not need my hands or mouth.
IMG_9464
One pen equals roughly 8-10 applications, which should be enough to remove all stains on the front teeth.  I’m noticing more improvement each time, and I’m convinced that I’ll have sparkling pearls in a matter of days.  Overall, this kit is super easy to use, clean, quick, and effective.  Thanks, Smile Brilliant!
…
This kit is sold for $39.99, but you save significantly more when you purchase more than one whitening pen at a time.  Naturally, you can continue to use the same mouthpiece and light with subsequent applications.

One winner will receive their own teeth whitening kit, same as the kit I reviewed!

Pinky Paradise Color Contacts {Giveaway} – CLOSED

April 7, 2014 by 12 Comments
Disclosure: This could be a sponsored post or contain affiliate links (which means I earn a percentage of the sale), but all opinions are strictly my own.

Warning: Use of undefined constant user_level - assumed 'user_level' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /home/dandysof/dandygiveaway.com/wp-content/plugins/ultimate-google-analytics/ultimate_ga.php on line 524

Ok, I’ve been wanting to try these out since I got contacts in junior high!  How incredible that you can even DO this!  Does Wizard of Oz come to mind, with the lyrics, “Can you even dye my eyes to match my dress?”  Totally.  558304_377706098926581_1729765139_n-2

Pinky Paradise is like the headquarters for circle lenses, colored contacts, beauty products, and accessories.   I’m most drawn to their colored contacts where you can literally change or enhance the color of your eyes, even if they are dark brown.  Don’t tell me that these pictures are intriguing!

1794824_718822694814918_591974353_nDon’t wear contacts?  You can order these without a prescription, so you’re just getting color without altering your vision in the least.  Still love the color you’ve got?  You can choose from dozens of options that lighten, darken, deepen, or enhance your current color.

green2I took at least over an hour trying to decide what color to get.  I wanted to try them all.  I decided that I wanted something that would be noticeably different, but still in a natural way.

IMG_0002

I ordered the EOS Ice Green lenses.  Major success on the first day I wore them out when a friend asked, “Whoa, is that your natural eye color?!  It looks like you have Disney Princess eyes!”  I think the green over top my blue makes a beautiful teal.

green

So are you wondering if they’re comfortable?  I honestly don’t feel them at all!  Surely, they’re probably larger in diameter than my normal contacts, but I think that only gives them a better seal, and less of a chance that they’ll slipping around my eye balls.  Better hold.

IMG_0018

They are not drying or irritating in the least.  I basically put them in and forget completely about them.  I have noticed, however, that at the end of a long day, they do feel a little dry, so I try to not wear these on days that I know I’ll be out or up late.  Plus, get a cute little animal contact case with every order!

IMG_9896You guys, these are so affordable.  This pair of lenses I received were $22.90.  How much are you paying currently for your colorless contacts?  About that much?  These have a 1-year life span!!  I bet you’re paying a whoooole lot more yearly on your contacts already.  You’re saving $ AND looking fabulous with these.

Have I convinced you yet?!  Go check out Pinky Paradise and pick out your favorite new eye color!

One lucky winner will get to choose a pair of lenses of their choice!!

Plus and cute little animal contact case!  There is no charge on the shipping fee and this is open worldwide!

Beautiful Skin Care {Giveaway}–CLOSED

October 18, 2013 by

Warning: Use of undefined constant user_level - assumed 'user_level' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /home/dandysof/dandygiveaway.com/wp-content/plugins/ultimate-google-analytics/ultimate_ga.php on line 524

Last week, my family and I traveled to Utah for the BYU vs. Georgia Tech game, since my husband is an alum of both schools (but we were totally rooting for BYU!). Utah is a very beautiful place, but there are many reasons I could never live there. The biggest two are 1) the snow (I am a Southern Californian at heart and anything below 60 degrees is freezing) and 2) the dryness. I dry up like a raisin here in California, and it’s five times worse in the northern climate, and I hate having dry skin! I was so grateful to have the Beautiful Skin Care set with me on my trip!
beautiful-logo

Beautiful Skin Care is made by Trusted Health Products, a company that makes a variety of health products from all-natural ingredients. A while back I reviewed OraMD, an all natural breath freshener, toothpaste and mouthwash in one, and I liked the feeling of using all natural ingredients to clean my mouth. Beautiful’s A.M. Moisturizer and P.M. Revitalizer are both made from natural botanical oils, and I liked the feeling of all natural ingredients on my face just as much! According to their website, “’Beautiful’ uses a rare combination of live fruit, nut and plant extracts to feed your skin cells and promote youthful, moist, beautiful glowing skin.”

beautiful-set-high-res

I was sent a bottle of Beautiful’s A.M. Moisturizer and P.M. Revitalizer to review. The bottles came with my name on them, which is kind of cheezy but a good daily reminder that I am beautiful! The thing I noticed when I used it for the first time was the smell–a delicious citrusy blend that was both refreshing in the morning and relaxing at night. It was strange to put straight oil on my face–the product is made from 100% pure and natural botanical oils, and that’s it!–but it felt good and surprisingly not too greasy. Here’s a photo of my face before and after applying the A.M. Moisturizer. You can see how in the “after” photo my face has a healthy glow 🙂

before after

Like the company warns, I did experience a slight break out for a few weeks after starting to use Beautiful, but I still have random break outs all the time, so it was hard to tell how much of that was really caused by the oil removing toxins from my skin or just my crazy, 28-year-old self still suffering from acne. After using the products for about a month I do feel that it has helped my skin to look and feel smoother and to have a healthy glow. I like that it is an all-in-one moisturizer, toner, firmer, protectant, repair cream and age-defying serum. Any product that has all those possibilities in it saves me time and money, which are two things that desperately need saving in my life lately!

bottle

Beautiful Skin Care can be purchased online and ships within two business days! A 0.5 ounce bottle of either moisturizer separately is $19.97, but when purchased together it’s only $34.94. The same discount applies to the 1 ounce bottles; separately they’re $29.97 but purchased together they’re only $49.94. But wait! Everyone who “Likes” their Facebook page saves $5 on their first order! And if your hubby feels left out and wants to have younger, healthier skin, never fear! A men’s line of this skin care system – You’re the Man – is available as well. And if for some reason you’re not satisfied with your purchase, every Trusted Health Products product is backed with a 1 year, 100% Guarantee.

THREE Winners will get to try a bottle of Beautiful A.M. Moisturizer for FREE!

The manufacturer is willing to offer my readers one FREE bottle. They said they would love to have our readers try out Beautiful A.M. Moisturizer (for women) or You’re the Man A.M. Moisturizer (for men) and agreed to send one bottle FREE if our readers would pay a minimal shipping and handling charge. This is a one-time only offer!  They also agreed to include 2 eye-opening reports – The Poisons You Put On Your Face Everyday and Why Your Skin Care Products Have Never Worked: The Truth Revealed .”  That’s a total value of over $40.00. Click here to get your FREE Bottle and FREE reports now!

So I love doing my nails and having them painted up in the latest color trends, but I find that with a busy household and a hundred things to be done at all times, I practically NEVER have an hour in the middle of the day for my manicure to completely dry to the point where I feel comfortable tackling the dishes afterwards.  My nailpolish method, up to this point, (and I kid you not!) has been to paint a coat just before I lay down for bed and try to fall asleep with my hands placed across my chest so that they dry while I sleep, in hopes that by the time I first roll over, it will have been an hour and the nail job won’t be ruined!  I just don’t have that kind of time during waking hours!  Isn’t that ridiculous?

Beauty-Stop-Logo

But really, who does, these days?  We’re always in a huff to get places, get dinner on the table, get kids in the car, etc.  I tell you that this used to be my method, because now I have a new routine 10x more sane: inm Out The Door Top Coat from Beauty Stop Online.  This product brags a 45 second dry time (that’s less than a minute, sisters!) while creating a chip-resistant, glossy finish.  It can be used on polished nails, natural nails, or even artificial nails.  I’ve got 45 seconds, how about you?

IMG_6177

This bottle is HUGE!  It is basically the size of my fist!  Note: for extra protection, you can apply one extra coat the following day.  Now did you notice something missing?  There is no applicator brush in this bottle, so you can use it as a giant refill bottle, or just borrow the brush from an old top glaze bottle.  Worked for me.  The glaze was perfect, and it held up nicely.  Here were my nails after 5 days.  Still gorgeous and practically chip-free, even after daily household chores, hours of typing, and a few performances.

IMG_6327

Now if you read my review from a few weeks ago from Beauty Stop Online, you know I’m already a fan of their stuff.  Shopping through their different products is really like running through a candy store with a hundred dollar bill in your hand.  Another dreamy product that only further solidifies my already extremely positive opinion of Beauty Stop Online, is the Sherani Magnified Mascara.

IMG_6180

This mascara is great.  It is not clumpy or thick, but rather very thin and fine, but it separates the lashes well, stains them a nice deep black, and makes my eyes look very natural and certainly very ‘magnified’ just like it claims :).  This sucker is sold for $4.99 at BSO.  Totally a steal for these eyes.

IMG_6186

Surely, you know by now that Beauty Stop Online carries more than top coat and mascara.  You could really get everything you might ever need to doll yourself up in one online shopping cart.  They’ve got everything from shampoo, shower caps, tweezers, salon gowns, false eyelashes, and hair dryers to even men’s hair loss products.  Knock yourself out.

One lucky winner will receive $35 to spend at Beauty Stop Online!!

bronzer

While I’ve been using blush as one of my staple items since I started wearing make-up as a teenager, I’ve never taken the chance on a bronzer.  I was excited to receive the Madeleine Mono Duo-Colored Bronzer and have loved using it this summer!  I really love that there are two shades of bronzer that can be mixed and matched to create the perfect shade for your skin, which (in my case anyway) has been changing over the past few weeks to a darker tan as we spend more time outside.  There’s also a slight shimmer to the lighter side of this bronzer duo, which can be fun to play up for special occasions.

lipshine

For years, I didn’t use any lip color of any kind — I would never leave the house without a full face of make-up, but that Chapstick was my go-to “lipstick” of choice.  It sort of worked for a year or two when the light, nude-colored lipcolor was in style, but after trying different colors on my lips over the past few months, I can’t believe how unfinished I look without some sort of lip gloss or lip stick.  This Madeleine Mono Double Take Lipshine “softens, protects, and adds rich, luminous color” and I’ve liked having it in my purse to reapply throughout the day as mine inevitably wears off after eating or drinking water so much in the hot summer days.  The small mirror attached to this lipshine is extremely helpful for those on-the-go touch-ups.

eye

I was surprised to find this Madeleine Mono Viva Diva Eyeshadow Collection included in the package I received, as it seemed to be such a contrast to the light summer items I had received.  That being said, I’ve loved using new colors that I never would have chosen for myself and blending multiple colors to create the right hue.  I still basically stick to the neutral colors, but the bold purples and blues in this collection are fun to try and have for a night out.  I really love the darker colors that can create a smoky eye, and I like that these colors go on fairly light so that there’s plenty of room for experimenting and blending before it’s too set.

Madeleine Mono Cosmetics is offering a HOT deal right now — everything you see pictured above in the 7-Piece Beauty Kit for only $24.95!

I love playdates at the park.  I love working part-time from my home.  I love staying up way too late finishing a great book.  I love working with the young men and young women from our church.  I love Blue’s Clues, Handy Manny, Dinosaur Train, Downton Abbey, and Gilmore Girls.  I love a mid-morning run to Chick-Fil-A with my little boys, lunch at Panera Bread with some close friends, and a classy date to Bistro 29 with my husband.  I love being a mom, a wife, a sister, a daughter, a friend, an instructor, a reviewer/giveaway-er, and an avid reader.

I’m sure that many of you can relate to these feelings — straddling the many lines, spinning all the plates, and juggling all the balls that encompass womanhood.  It can be exciting and exhilarating and exhausting all at the same time; there are days that run together from monotony, while others fly by as you run from errand to errand.  This fun monthly surprise box from Mommébox, though, appeals to all women and the roles they play.

Main

Every month brings a new surprise!”

I was excited to have a chance to review the December 2012 and January 2013 boxes from Mommébox— there are lots of fun products and coupons for new items.  Between the two boxes, I received natural laundry detergent Vaska, full size lip gloss and eyeliner from Kryolan, Kelapo Coconut Oil, and (my personal favorite!) Mr. Cleengreen’s Handy Essentials hand cleanser.

I have so many things to be thankful for this time of the year!  Most of my gratefulness surrounds my loved ones.  1.)  My wonderful husband and little boy.  2.)  Living so close to family.  3.)  Having family that lives really far away coming into town over the weekend for a visit.  The list could go on and on.  But I also have something to be extremely grateful for come January.  We are FINALLY going to have our baby girl join us!  Everyone is so excited for her to join our family; especially Banjo.  He insists that we are naming her “Ruby”.  We are not.  However, I have decided that will be the perfect blog name for her:  Ruby.  So get ready to hear more about Ruby once she’s here.  🙂  One thing that I’m excited about with having a baby girl is all the cuteness that’s out there for girls!  I missed out on all of that with Banjo.  I’m looking forward to all the cute outfits, cute shoes, and cute hair accessories…  Ahem.  Speaking of hair accessories I know where to get some ultra cute ones!  Plus, this place has cute hair accessories for baby girls, little girls, teenaged girls, and adult girls.  Yep that’s all in one stop!  The place is Little Hatchlings and here’s just a few of my favorites:

    

Can you tell that I’m a major fan of the color yellow?  How could I not be when I LOVE dandelions?  🙂

 

But if you aren’t a fan of yellow like I am there are loads of other beautiful color combinations at Little Hatchlings.  Like blues and pinks…

 

Burgundy:

 

 

Even the most perfect holiday hair accessories!

    

 

What’s being given away by Little Hatchlings???  Well, that would be…

Banjo has an interesting toddler hair style.  Here are just a few of the looks that he has had:

Yep he’s got some curly and unruly hair!

 

We prefer to keep it on the long side, because…

 Well, he just looks totally different without his curls!!

But how to tame the crazy hair?

Recently Monkey Brains sent him some fantastic hair gel and hair refresher!

 

And it has really done the trick:

See?  Perfection!  🙂

I’m sure that you are particular about your kids hair, too.  So be sure and check out all the great product at Monkey Brains!
