Active Lifestyle Demands Personal Care Products & Beauty Your Family Trusts


Personal Care


This is a sponsored post

#BeautyYourFamilyTrusts

From hiking glaciers and waterfalls in New Zealand to riding an amphibious vehicle into the water to explore Iceland's icebergs up close to class 4 white water rafting in Costa Rica to horseback riding in Cancun on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico to simply walking on the beach in Fiji, our family loves exploring the world together.

With such an active lifestyle, it's reassuring to know that with Procter & Gamble's personal care products available online at Walmart, you can count on Beauty Your Family Trusts.

There is something for everyone in the P&G personal care product line for our uber active family of six, including my four college-age kids, hubbie and of course yours truly. In fact, I bought everything you see in this post online at Walmart.com for less than $50 including shipping and had it all delivered conveniently to our door.

Hair

With lots of beautiful long hair, both my triplet girls, will probably want to share Aussie Headstrong Volume Gel (7 ozs, $2.97) to style their tresses. As their mom I have to admit that I've already used this bottle several times, even though I bought it for them, because it adds so much body and hold to my own hair.

Another great product I bought for my daughters is a brand I used exclusively when I was their age, back in the day. This bottle of Clairol Herbal Essences Honey I'm Strong Conditioner (23.7 ozs), which has the sweet smell of honey and claims to make hair 10 times stronger, is huge and should last them through many hair washes.

Bath & Body

Hubbie is a serious athlete who runs faster than kids half his age, making Old Spice Fresh Fraicheur High Endurance Body Wash (18 ozs, $3.45) perfect for his after workout showers at the gym.

Meanwhile, my two sons, who are away at college, are also rather rugged. The eldest rowed crew on the university team last year and is a distance cyclist, while his brother just a year younger is an Eagle Scout who has hiked more than 100 miles during his scouting career. You can bet with all that physical activity they both will appreciate and benefit from Old Spice Swagger Body Wash (2-pack 16 ozs each, $6.97).

As for me, I'm a lover of great smelling soap that's not going to dry my skin out when I shower or wash my face with it. And, truth be told, I wrote this post under the influence of the fantastic and relaxing scent of Olay Cooling White Strawberry & Mint Soap (6 bars, $4.97) which really smells like freshly picked ripe strawberries. The fragrance is wonderful and I wouldn't be surprised if my daughters steal a bar or two from the master bathroom.

Antiperspirant & Deodorant

With the active lifestyle our family leads and how hard we play, it's a no brainer that all six of us need an antiperspirant/deodorant that really works. For my girls and I, it's Secret Clinical Strength Women's Smooth Solid in Sensitive Aloe Scent (1.6 ozs, $7.92). The guys, on the other hand, are better suited to Secret Clinical Strength Smooth Solid in Stress Response (1.6 ozs, $7.52).

Which reminds me, we have another active vacation planned soon. So I need to start packing and of course make sure we have enough of all these P&G products on hand before we take off.

The entire line of Beauty Your Family Trusts P&G products are available online at Walmart.com with free shipping for orders over $50.

Morris the Cat Guest Column Fun & Practical Advice for Humans Who Love Your Cats


Pets



Guest Post

by Morris the Cat
Live Well & Prospurr
9Lives Brand Ambassador

#Prospurr

Continuing our uber popular guest cat post series, I'm pleased to be treating Mommy Blog Expert cat loving readers to yet another hilarious advice column from Morris the Cat of 9Lives cat food fame.


Welcome to another Morris the Cat advice column, revealing need-to-know information on how to release your inner cat and get the best night's sleep of your life. As an iconic spokescat and star of over 50 9Lives cat food commercials from the 1970s onward, Morris has a prolific career envied by many of the Internet cat sensations today. The secret to his longevity? Well, for one, the fact that he eats 9Lives. But more importantly, he has a disciplined sleep regimen – racking up about 140 hours per week!

Morris wants to teach YOU the tricks of the trade and give you all the tools you need. So read on for his sage cat advice...


Dear Morris,

My cat and I are BFFs. We do everything together – play, eat, snuggle – we make a purrfect team. But in the bedroom, I prefer to have my space. My cat, on the other hand, thinks there's no better place to sleep than right on my head! Why does she do this? I'm not all that fun when I'm sleeping.

Warmly,
Tired Tails


Dear Tired Tails,

You have been bestowed a great honor. As cats, we don't always wear our hearts on our paws, but one tell-tail sign we love and trust you is when we choose to make YOU our bed. Plus, you're warm. And getting our warmth from you helps us to conserve our own energy for more important things like eating. The rhythm of your breath also creates a calming effect and the curve of your face, stomach, or legs perfectly forms to our bodies. Basically, you're like a waterbed, heated blanket, and memory foam all in one! So the next time your cat goes to curl up on you, think of it as a compliment and drift off to sleep knowing you are loved... and you're very comfortable.

Cat Love,
Morris
