Olay Total Effects Line and Dark Circle Brush. . . AND a $100 Spa Finder Gift Card!

This is a sponsored review from BlogHer and OLAY.

I always approach my cosmetic reviews with some degree of trepidation. As a certified cosmetic snob, with very strong opinions and very well set favorites, I always worry I will have nothing positive to say about the product I am asked to review. Even though I've had nothing but positive experiences thus far, each box brings a bit of nervousness. I needed not worry about the Olay Total Effects Line and Dark Circle Minimizing Brush because I really love this product!

Before I get started on what I think, let's hear a word from Olay. What do they claim this product will do?

First and foremost, Olay says this brush will help reduce the appearance of dark circles and fine lines around the eyes. Second, the brush will reduce puffiness around the eyes and increase firmness in the area. These were my primary areas of concern, in addition Olay focuses on hydration, texture, tone and moisturization- the 7 primary ways we show age around the eyes.

When I checked out the product page at the Olay site, the claim I was most dubious of was the reduced puffiness. How would a concealer do that?

Well, I'm still not sure. But this concealer does JUST THAT. When I wake up in the mornings, my body may be up and at 'em, but my eyes certainly are not. I tend to look like a groggy mess for at least an hour or two every morning while my eyes adjust to being open, even after applying makeup. On the first Saturday after I received this product, I was headed to the gym early in the morning after a late night out. I try not to be one of those makeup wearing gym goers, but the bottom line is, even at the gym I like to look decent. People I know work out there! So, I got out the brush and went to work.

I've used brush applicators in the past, and am admittedly NOT a fan. I don't use brushes to apply foundation either. The most positive attribute about the brush-click system in this product is that it allows you to better control the amount of product you are using. At the end of the day, I will still always prefer to apply my cosmetics with my finger, but this isn't a terrible system either. I loaded up the brush and applied Olay Total Effects underneath my eyes. There was an immediate lightening in the area, but nothing I'd say was akin to reducing puffiness.

BUT THEN! After a few minutes, I could suddenly feel the area around my eyes quite literally tightening. It was amazing, and my eyes really did look more alert. Color me impressed. This product does what it says.  Whatever it is, it works.

As someone who doesn't really suffer from under eye circles, I was worried I would have some trouble determining its concealing effects. However, I've recently started using another product that tends to leave me with red, for lack of a better term True Blood Vampire Eyes, and they could certainly use some help. I was very impressed with the Olay products ability to counteract this effect.

How does this product compare to my usual under eye concealer? Well, my primary use of under eye concealer thus far has always been to just brighten the area around my eyes, not necessarily for the purpose of hiding dark circles, but because you always look peppier with a little lightness there. I’m very happy with my current concealer, which is multi-use and thus used on other spots in need of some concealin’. Before trying out this product, I had no idea that I could get the kind of awakening effects that the Olay product has achieved. I will definitely be using this under my eyes in the future.

I personally am lucky enough to not be experiencing the effects of fine lines around the eyes just yet, but I will say this- the texture of this Olay product is very light. Not nearly as thick as what I am used to for concealers. I can see that this would likely be advantageous if you do have fine lines- the heavier the concealer, the more likely it will be to sit and thicken up in your fine lines. This would be a great texture over areas starting to show signs of aging.

Now for the giveaway! BlogHer and Olay are giving away a $100 Spa Finder gift card.

To enter this giveaway, I want to know- what is you biggest area of concern for your eyes? Dark circles? Fine lines? Vampire eyes (I’m guessing that’s just me!)?

Winner Winner, Chicken Tortellini Dinner!

This is a sponsored review from BlogHer and Stouffer's.

When I was first contacted by Blogher and Stouffer's to review some food items for their Make Every Night Amazing program, I was all OH YES, I AM THE PERFECT CANDIDATE. As readers of my personal blog will know, having time together during the week for my husband and myself is HARD. We are both attorneys, and he works very late nights several times each week. Finding time, or the energy, to cook a meal together during the week is just not something that happens. Which is why its exciting to come across a product like Stouffer's Sautes for Two.

Well, let's backtrack a little.

I've found meals like this several times in the past...and they were disappointing. I tend to shy away from buying such products because I haven't had the best experiences with meals that were not inexpensive.

With great trepidation, okay not really, since these were sent to me for free....with great uncertainty, Mr. A and I cooked both of the offerings that arrived on my doorstep- Chicken Asiago and Steak Gorgonzola.

When it comes to these types of meals, I have several reservations:

1) Meat- it's often rubbery, fatty, or uh, doesn't look like meat. At all.

2) Bland Sauce

3) Veggies are...questionable at best. And are often unidentifiable.

4) Not Enough Sauce

As I opened the package, the contents look familiar. Which I didn't really take as a good sign, but I suppose having high expectations for frozen meat is setting standards a little high. The directions were easy enough- thaw the sauce under warm water and put everything else in the pan! The meal honestly took about 4 minutes to cook. And I use the term cook loosely. I did a few quick stirs and the meal was done.

And how did it turn out? Darn good, I must say. To address the concerns listed above:

1) Meat- it tasted like…MEAT! The chicken actually looked like chicken, the beef was less appetizing in appearance, but Mr. A and myself both agreed that it was shockingly tasty even if it did look a bit…jerky-like. It was not dried out, which was not what I was expecting.

2) Bland Sauce- not here! Both sauces were really, really tasty. I, however, felt that the steak could have used some salt, especially on the meat. But I’m a big salt lover, so take my recommendation with….a grain of salt. OH I CRACK MYSELF UP.

3) Veggies- This was the best surprise of all. The vegetables looked like what they purported to be. I’m always VERY hesitant about frozen vegetables, especially those that come in a sauce based meal, but these had good texture and color. I think this has a lot to do with the fact that the sauce comes in a separate packet- the vegetables do not have time to sit and get mushy because they are frozen without sauce. This, to me, is a key component in making these meals tasty.

4) Not Enough Sauce- On the contrary, there was actually too much sauce. When making these next time, I will not add all of the sauce. Better too much than not enough!

Additionally, the pasta cooked up shockingly well, al dente even. And both pastas had a great texture. The filling on the pasta for Chicken Asisgo was plentiful- the tortellini noodles were quite large and the filling had a lot of taste. Overall, both meals were really quite good, and we both agreed we would buy them again in the future.

Not only because of the delicious flavors, but because the meal allowed us to have a Real Adult Dinner in a very short period of time on a night of the week when we are both generally too worn out to make the effort. Because of our schedules, we don’t get to enjoy week night couple time like a lot of people. Knowing that there is a simple, gourmet meal that can be prepared so quickly will hopefully motivate us to do things like this more often.

Additionally, for families with children, I can see these sautees as a great meal to make after you have fed the kids. Because they can be ready so quickly, it won’t be like having to cook two dinners. Mr. A made some garlic toast to serve on the side, and these meals would both be great with a simple green salad. There is also a lot of semi-homemade potential for these meals- adding some freshly grated cheese, stirring in some green peas, adding some extra leftover chicken. There are a ton of ways to enjoy together making this meal even more special. Visit the Stouffer’s Official site to learn more about these great meals!

How do you make ordinary evenings at home extraordinary? Do you have trouble finding the time to have a real sit down meal with your spouse during the week? The folks at Stouffer’s want to know. And they also want to make you the winner of a $100 Visa gift card, sponsored by BlogHer. That will buy a lot of Stouffer’s dinners!

So how do you make it happen? Answer the question above and follow these simple rules:

ReeTone ReeMarks and ReeSolutions. (Sorry, That's Bad, I Know).

This is sponsored content from BlogHer and Reebok.

Every year around this time we start to see the debate- to make a resolution or not to make a resolution.  I have not been immune to this great internal debate myself.  Some years, January 1 comes with great anticipation of the things I will accomplish!  Great declarations!  Lists published on the blog!  And then other years, resolutions are declared passe.  So arbitrary.  So pointless.  Such a setup for personal failure!  

The most common argument against resolutions seems to be some sentiment centering around the idea that a declaration made on January 1 is no different than those other declarations made throughout the year, and therefore silly and a waste of time.  And while I can see the logic in that line of thinking, I've come around to think of resolutions just like I think about Valentine's Day.  Sure, my husband and I love each other and (most days) appreciate one another, but do we take time every day to show that love and appreciation?  No!  So we eat a fancy meal, and buy a card, and find a token of affection come February 14.  So goes my line of reasoning on New Year's resolutions- sure, I could make life altering declarations any old day of the year, but do I?  No.  So there's no time quite like the present!

To that end, this year I am not so much about making individual goals as resolutions (lose 5 lbs!  Finally relearn Spanish!) as I am about making broader declarations about where I'd like to be next year (be more active!  Acquire a new skill!).  In my mind, these types of goals are less a recipe for failure, and more a useful aspiration!

And this year, I'd like to be more active in a variety of ways that don't necessarily have to do with logging in time on the treadmill.  Sure, I definitely want to increase my time working out this year, but I would more generally like to live a more active a fulfilling lifestyle.  This means cutting out the 30-minutes-that-turns-into-two-hours naps on a random Wednesday evening, making a weekly trip to the grocery store instead of darting into the store three times a week to cobble together some meals, clean out my car on a more regular basis so that I feel more organized, and using my weekend time with my husband doing activities outdoors instead of watching television together!

Cute huh?

Fortunately for me, and all of you, Reebok has their new Easy Tone line to help turn these activities into 1 part fun time, 1 part body toning time!  The great thing about Reebok Easy Tones is that they don't look like traditional toning sneakers, so when I walk to the grocery store I will look less orthopedic shoe and more Active, Tone, Healthy Gal!  You can learn more about Reebok Easy Tones and how they can help you meet your conditioning goals here!

I also find that setting these types of goals, and sticking with them, leads to more and more lifestyle changes.  When I am exercising, I'm more encouraged to eat right.  When I'm taking the time to shop for good food, I'm (gasp!) buying good food.  It's so simple, and its a sentiment repeated over and over, but it really is true and it really is both easy to 1) keep on track with and sadly 2) easily slip out of.  My goal this year is to continually remind myself that I have one life I'm living and I better make the best of it, and live it the best way I can.  If I'm going to take an easy road, it should be the easy road to a healthy lifestyle and NOT the easy road to Sloth City, Population Me.

So what about you?  Do you make resolutions?  Do you not make resolutions?  Do you really wish I'd stop using the word resolutions?  Tell me about your thoughts on resolutions (feel free to share what yours are- we could all use some new ideas!) in the comments, and you will be entered to win a $100 Visa gift card from Reebok and Blogher.

Getting Older, Getting Better? YES!

This is sponsored content BlogHer and Olay.

While there are plenty of things I am trying to stave off about getting older, there are certain things I'm trying to embrace. I am starting to get to the stage where I find things are in fact inappropriate for me to wear (although perhaps I should stop shopping at Forever 21 and I wouldn't have this problem). Mercifully, there are still plenty of things I'm still too young to wear as well. Along with my slightly more mature wardrobe, there's also a sense of comfort- in my skin, and in my clothes. While my husband may not always appreciate it, I'm pretty happy to let go of skin tight jeans and pointy toed pumps. These days I'm all about the trouser jean and a round toe pump.

 

There are also old habits that I am happily letting go of- sleeping in until 2 pm isn't as tempting when you start to realize how much you can accomplish in a day when you wake up at 9 am on a Saturday. I can go to the gym AND the grocery store? All before lunch?This, for me, was a real life changing revelation.
 

As I've gotten a little bit older, I have realized that certain life changes? Are actually making me look and feel better than I did when I was in my early twenties. Going to the gym every night? I feel strong. Eating vegetables? I feel less puffy and bloated during the day. Taking my clothes to the dry cleaners before I run out of pants? Amazing! (And honestly, for me, this might be the most difficult change for me to make!). In the last years of my twenties, and now at 30, I feel so much better than I have in years past. And that feeling better has translated into making even more changes to feel good about myself, and my skin care routine is truly a part of that. When 30 started to approach a few years ago, I made a choice to dedicate some time to taking care of my skin, not only to prevent aging and skin cancer. And Olay Total Effects works right into that new routine.  Learn more about Olay here!
 

What POSITIVE changes have you found your age has forced you to make? In what ways do you feel better now than just a few years ago?

Let me know, and you will be entered, easy-peasy. And lucky you, 14 other bloggers will be offering you the same chance, just check out the BlogHer roundup page for more offers!  Check out the rules for this week's contest here.

Because Your Concerns DO Actually Grow Beyond Skin Care with Age...

This is sponsored content from BlogHer and Olay.

As I've discussed here before, I'm in something of a transitional phase in a variety of ways during my life.  I've turned 30, I've recently moved in what I consider to me my first real grown up place, some big decisions about where I'm going with my career and personal life will have to be made in the next few years.  And I'm just trying to be ready for it.

And how exactly am I going about this?  Well, some weeks are more productive than others.  I've tried to become more of a to-do list maker.  Well, scratch that.  I've always been a to-do list maker. I'm trying to become more of a to-do list....do-er?  Achiever? Accomplisher?  Whatever the term is, I'm trying to go about setting reasonable goals for the week and accomplish them.  For me, my major areas of focus have been continuing to make my new place feel like a real adult home, trying to cook more meals and eat a more balanced vegetable and protein rich diet, and take care of normal weekly tasks like going to the grocery store, expense tracking, keeping the house clean, and helping my very busy husband enjoy what little time he has off.  Despite having no children in the mix, it's a lot to take on.  For my husband and I right now, all of these interests are being counter-balanced with trying to save for future expenses- trips, a home, continuing to decide if we want to have children and how to plan for that, and saving for retirement.

Lately, I have really been trying to focus on how to grocery shop and decorate our home with cost-consciousness in mind.  We have been fortunate to have successful careers in our twenties, but we haven't been as successful at monitoring our spending.  For me this means trying to shop at regular grocery stores, instead of Whole Foods like I have been.  I have been trying to come up with affordable DIY projects to decorate our home, with a few trips to Ikea mixed in.  It also has meant investing in high quality furniture that we will like for years, and not have to replace any time soon.  Our biggest area of concern right now is spending large amounts of money on the right things, and watching our spending in areas where lesser expensive goods will work just as well.  

For me personally, I have been trying to balance my spending on clothing and skin care and find what is worth the extra cost and what is not.  This means trendy pieces from bargain stores, and more long term items like suits from higher end stores.  It also means trying out new affordable skin care and make up products and deciding which ones are worth the expense.  This is why I have so appreciated the opportunity to try out products like Olay Total Effects.  I have, over time, become reticent to try out lower end products because the results have not always been good.  My experience with this line has proven to me that there is no need to give up on drugstore brands.  Just as in the case with Olay Total Effects, they can be just as effective, if not more so, than department store goods.

How has your expenditure focus changed with age?  What are you finding to be worth it or not worth it to do with your money?

Let me know, and you will be entered, easy-peasy.  And lucky you, 14 other bloggers will be offering you the same chance, just check out the BlogHer roundup page for more offers!  Check out the rules here!

Days of Reckoning, with Olay Total Effects.

This is sponsored content from BlogHer and Olay.

Getting "older" is kind of a weird thing, huh?  Having just turned 30 this summer, I am really busy trying to look younger and older all at once.  Based on my recent experience, it seems like this is the age where people contradictorily warn you about getting your you know what together, and making sure you don't start looking your age.  It's a rather bipolar time.

When I am not spewing out my thoughts on the internet, I spend my time working as an attorney.  Having recently hit five years of practicing law, there is a lot of pressure for me to figure out where my career is going and what my future aspirations are in the realm of my career.  I can no longer merrily jump from job to job (in five years of practicing, I have had four jobs).  Youthful indulgences of "trying to figure myself out" are no longer so easily forgiven.

It is kind of the same thing with your skin.  Up until a few years ago, all kind of little indulgences were accepted by my face.  Stayed up too late partying and did not wash your face?  That's okay- No zits for you!  Didn't have time to exfoliate?  That's okay with your pores!  They will take care of everything- no blackheads for you!  Spent a little too much time in the sun?  Not a problem- no hyperpigmentations for you!

For me, my day of reckoning with regards to these particular issues came a little early- when I was about 25, my skin started to go a little crazy in the breakout department and decided to make up for lost time missed when I did not suffer teenage acne.  And now that I've hit 30, I still suffer from some of the same issues, but I have had to add a different concern to the mix- it is time to start worrying about preventing wrinkles.  

Fortunately, I've managed to put together a routine, after ages of trial and error, that works for me.  That's why it is exciting to me when I find something new and affordable like Olay Total Effects with Cooling Hydration that works right into my routine without dredging up old concerns (acne) and simultaneously addressing new ones (wrinkles).  Ironically, when you really need to start addressing your skin care concerns with more gusto, you have a lot of competing interests for your time, you know like a husband, a child, a career!  This is why it is great to have a product that addresses all of these concerns in one, and why I'm appreciating something with 7 different anti-aging benefits in one formula.  Not to mention, it is nice to not have to keep researching new products.  

As you face changes in your life- career, aging, a growing family- what are your skin care concerns?  How have they changed over time?  Let me know and win a chance to win a $100 Visa gift cardfrom Olay and BlogHer.  Let me know, and you will be entered, easy-peasy.  And lucky you, 14 other bloggers will be offering you the same chance, just check out the BlogHer roundup page for more offers!  Check out the rules here!

Olay Total Effects- One of the Effects Could Be That You Win $100 Visa Gift Card!

This is sponsored content from BlogHer and Olay.

As usual, I was very excited when BlogHer contacted me to be a part of the program to review Olay's newest product, the Total Effects Moisturizer with Cooling Hydration.  But I also approached trying something new on my skin with some trepidation.  As a creature of (expensive product) habit, I'm always a little hesitant to introduce a new product to my highly reactive skin.  In other words, when my face does not take to a new product, it REALLY doesn't take to that product.  It lets me know with all kinds of fun things like excessive greasiness, forehead and chin break outs and to top things off, a nice daily oil slick on my face.  However, having just turned 30, I figured it was probably time to try out a daily moisturizer than wasn't just about SPF, but also had some anti-aging properties.  I take good care of my skin, but as I get older, I am recognizing that it is indeed time to start thinking about wrinkle prevention and all the fun stuff that comes along with getting a (little bit) older.  

So, the first thing I did was check out the product page on Olay.com.  Just what were the alleged anti-aging properties?  According to the product page, Total Effects fights aging in 7 different ways:

-  minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

-  smoothing skin with cooling hydration

-  fighting dullness

-  gentle exfoliation

-  minimizing the appearance of pores

-  protection from free radicals

-  hydrating to increase the appearance of firmness.

Since I'm lucky enough to not yet be in the "fine lines and wrinkles" phase of my skin's life, I decided to focus my review on the matters that are most important to me- smoothing skin and minimizing the appearance of pores, fighting dullness and hydration with firmness.  And well, one particular criteria of importance to me that was not listed- product scent.

So let's start there- scent.  I'm happy to report that I really enjoyed the fresh scent of Olay Total Effects.  There is a definite scent, not overpowering or overly floral, it is just nice and fresh and clean, which is exactly what I'm looking for at the start of the day.  I also really enjoyed the cooling effect.  My morning get ready routine is spent in the bathroom, which is full of steam from my morning shower.  I am always fighting getting my face all sweaty while I put on my makeup before work.  The cooling effect was nice- nothing drastic (in the manner of say, muscle cream), just enough to cool off my face from getting out of the shower.  And it lasts long enough for me to get ready grease free.  Point- Olay!

I have oily skin, so it is always a balancing act for me- going overboard with oil reducing products is always a risk, and I have plenty of times ended up with a pasty, dried out look to my face by going overboard with oil free products.  However, as I get older, I have begun to recognize that while that dewy fresh glow isn't really in the cards for me, I can still create a nice hydrated look with the right products.  The Olay product did a great job of balancing between dried out and greasy- this product provided a nice happy medium.  Hydrated skin that didn't go into oil slick territory.  I am also a big fan of makeup primers to smooth out pores and this moisturizer did not get in the way of that!  Olay Total Effects provided a great base for my primer and foundation, and my makeup went on just as smoothly with this product as it did with the more expensive products already in my collection.  This product is oil free and non-comodogenic and after two weeks of using it, I have not noticed any increase in clogged pores, which is very important to someone with oily skin.  And just as advertised, the product was nearly immediately absorbed into my skin.

The one down side?  NO SPF!  This is certainly one thing, and really the ONLY thing I would change about this product.  But overall, Olay Total Effects is a welcome addition, and an affordable one to add to my skin care repertoire.  

I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to check out this wonderful product, and now you can feel fortunate too because BlogHer and Olay are providing you with a chance over the next four weeks to win a $100 Visa gift card!  All you have to do is leave a comment on this post- what are your current biggest skin care concerns?  Oily?  Wrinkles?  Feeling too sweaty during your morning routine (no shame!)?  Let me know, and you will be entered, easy-peasy.  And lucky you, 14 other bloggers will be offering you the same chance, just check out the BlogHer roundup page for more offers!
