Neosporin Essentials Review & Giveaway (ends 8/27)
Product Name: Neosporin Essentials Product Information: The heat and humidity of summer can mean this season is actually the worst time of year for some people who suffer from eczema and other chronic skin conditions. Things like sunscreen, the chemicals in swimming pools and exposure to sand can trigger flare-ups. And for kids in school, changing routines such as their school-year skincare regimen can result in greater chances of having flare-ups as well. Below is more information about eczema, as well as summer skincare tips from Dr. Peter Lio, Clinical Assistant Professor of Dermatology at the Feinberg School of Medicine of Northwestern University.

UNREAL Candy Review & Giveaway (ends 8/27)
Product Name: UNREAL candy Product Information: Unreal started with a question from a kid: "WHY DOES THE JUNK FOOD WE LOVE HAVE TO BE SO BAD FOR US?" It took a question from a 13 year old. A few years ago, Michael and his 13 year old son Nicky got into an argument over Halloween candy. Nicky came home with his bag of loot, went to bed, and woke up the next morning to find that his dad had confiscated most of it. It played out the way these fights normally do, with the candy gone and Nicky going to his room. Later, Nicky did some research online (to prove to his dad that candy isn’t so bad). He discovered that his dad was right (for once). It’s not that Nicky thought candy was healthy. It’s...
Hershey Chocolate and National S’mores Day Giveaway (ends 8/13)
While at BlogHer last week, I had a chance to hang with the Hershey's Chocolate crew in their S’mores Suite. They have one every year (at least for the past 3 years) and seriously BlogHer isn't the same without having some S’mores while we are there! Each year the suite is decorated in a nice backyard theme but it always looks different. I really love what they did this year and the S’mores were excellent. They have everything we need to make our own S'mores and I was tempted to spend my entire lunchtime in there just eating S'mores but figured that probably wasn't the way to go for lunch. But I did enjoy one (and an extra marshmellow too!) Doesn't that look good ------------------->...

Energizer Flameless Wax Candles at BlogHer
I've worked with the gal from Energizer a few times on some giveaways on the blog so I was super excited to get to meet her in person at BlogHer last week in NYC. While I was there I got a peek at the NEW Energizer Flameless Wax Candles and they are super cool. They look, feel and smell like real candles but they aren't - they run on batteries (Energizer batteries work the best, I'm told!). So if you don't like to light candles because you are afraid of the flame or you have children or in my case a husband who doesn't like flames, then these are for you. Don't they look like real candles in this picture?? -------------> That is how they had them on display for us at the conference...
