Years ago, when I was a teenager – I had a bad “hair” experience. Being a teenager in the late 80’s/early 90’s was ALL about the HAIR! I went into the salon for a perm and apparently the rods were too tight which broke a ton of my hair off. I was devastated!

Back then, I would have loved to have had these L’Oreal Advanced Haircare products! I know that they would have saved me from all the turmoil of those days. Now that I color treat my hair and use a lot of heat from straighteners and irons – I have to do damage control. Thankfully, I have these products to keep my hair healthy and looking (and feeling!) awesome!

Watermelon Cupcakes #BiteIntoSummer

Nothing says summer like a big juicy watermelon! And cupcakes. So…how about we just combine the two and make watermelon cupcakes?! Betty Crocker now has the all-new Watermelon Cake & Frosting – available only at Target! Nothing fancy…just follow the directions on the cake mix. The mix even has tiny chocolate chips in it…to resemble watermelon seeds! How cute is that?!

I made them this past weekend, and let me tell you…if you love watermelon flavor, then these are for you!! I made this batch and they were a big hit with my little man. He just thought they were the best things ever. I topped them with jelly beans, just for some extra fun since we had some on hand!

The cupcake mix is really yummy. The next time I make these, I plan to add a tub of whipped topping to the frosting just to lighten it up a bit. The frosting has MEGA watermelon flavor, so if you really love watermelon..you’ll enjoy it! I do love watermelon, but I’m not one for very sweet frostings so adding the whipped topping would make it perfect for me.

Use Energizer Flameless Wax Candles for a Safer Alternative to Regular Candles

by 1,412 Comments

I love to fill my home with yummy smelling candles – but candles that burn are not a safe alternative for those who have pets and kids. You think you’ve got the burning candle pushed back out of the way, but still yet…kids have sticky fingers and it’s like they’ve got those Mr. Gatchet go go extendo arms!! Remember him? Yeah…so I’ve been more in favor of the flameless candles over the last few years.

Energizer has a gorgeous line of flameless wax candles that run by battery and are scented. Included in the line are pillar style candles that are 3×4″ and also 3×6″. Not to mention the votives and the tealights. The burn time is approximately 150 hours for the pillars and about 75 hours for the small tealights which is decent!! That’s a lot longer than a real tealight burns for…those babies are gone in NO time! I love the flameless candles and I know all of my friends and family do too. Because they’re not expensive at all, they make great gifts!

Energizer Flameless Wax Candles can help create the perfect holiday ambiance in your home, as well as the gift.  Energizer Flameless Wax Candles have the realistic flicker of a traditional candle, but without the worries of open flames, soot or dripping wax – so safe around pets, window treatments and kids.  These are perfect for everything from home decorating and tablescapes, to stocking stuffers and hostess gifts.  These candles come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors and are a great decorating alternative.

They’re available at Target.com and you can also find them here on Amazon! We’re happy to be partnering with Energizer this holiday season and we’ll be giving away some of these pretty flameless candles during our Holiday Gift Guide and Giveaway event! The shindig kicks off on Black Friday so stay tuned!!
