Fresh and Youthful Skin with RoC Multi CORREXION products #RoCWrinkleRanking #IC #ad

I participated in a Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for RoC Skincare. I received products to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

My mom has always been one of the most beautiful people I can think of and I'm always so proud to show her off to my friends. People make comments that she doesn't look old enough to have a daughter my age (which isn't very flattering to me...ha!). One way she has stayed looking youthful is by using quality skincare products. Like it or not, I'm not getting any younger, so it's time for me to start thinking about stepping up my skincare regimen a little and slow down the effects of aging on my own skin. I'm excited for the opportunity to keep my skin looking fresh and youthful with the help of RoC Skincare products.

I recently received two RoC products to try out: RoC MULTI CORREXION 5 in 1 Daily Moisturizer and RoC Multi CORREXION 5 in 1 Restoring Night Cream. Target carries a great line of RoC products. Check out the Target website for selection.

RoC MULTI CORREXION 5 in 1 Daily Moisturizer with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 is gentle enough for daily use, while still giving you powerful anti-aging results. In a clinical study, 100% of women saw improvement in skin radiance, texture, and reduction of fine lines after using it for four months. Over 80% of women saw improvement in the appearance of age spots and under-eye wrinkles. RoC MULTI CORREXION 5 in 1 Daily Moisturizer is available nationwide at many of your favorite stores for a suggested retail price of $28.99 for a 1.7 fl. oz. bottle.

RoC Multi CORREXION 5 in 1 Restoring Night Cream targets five signs that cause skin to appear aged: discoloration, sagging, moisture loss, dull skin tone, and wrinkles. In a clinical study, 100% of women saw improvement in skin texture, radiance, and the appearance of fine lines after 4 months of treatment. Over 75% saw improvement in age spots and under-eye wrinkles. RoC Multi CORREXION 5 in 1 Restoring Night Cream is available nationwide for a suggested retail price of $28.99 for a 1.7 fl. oz. jar.

Did you know the state you live in can actually have an effect on the rate at which your skin ages? RoC® Skincare and Sperling’s Best Places combined several forms of research to determine the states where peoples’ skin is most at risk from damage by their lifestyles and environment. Each state was assigned a “Wrinkle Index” score. Arkansas came in at #35, but Oregon, where my mom lives, came in at #50. Hmm...that might explain a lot! Check out your state's wrinkle ranking to see where you stand.

Egg Salad Pita Pockets

"Don't put all of your eggs in one basket!" Put them in your pocket...

a scrumptious homemade pita pocket.

From Christy: I am sharing my recipe for a fun, healthy, lunch for your family that is low in cost and satisfying.

Pita Pockets are great for small children because the filling will not ooze out the sides and bottom like regular bread slices do.

Pita Bread Pockets

5 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 pkg rapid rise yeast
1 3/4 cups hot water
2 TB oil

Set aside 1 cup flour. Mix remaining flour, salt, sugar and yeast in large bowl.

Pour oil in hot water (125-130 degrees); stir into dry mixture. Stir in only enough reserved flour to make a soft dough.

On a lightly floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, approximately 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.

Divide dough in half and divide each half into 6 pieces. Shape each into smooth ball and place on baking sheet. cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

On lightly floured surface roll each ball into a 5" circle and place on cookie sheet. Bake 3 or 4 at a time in 500º oven on the bottom shelf for 5 minutes, until puffed and the top just begins to brown. Repeat with remaining circles. Cool, and split one side to form a pocket.

Egg Salad Filling

Hard boil 6 eggs. Cool, peel and dice into bowl. Add 1/4 cup chopped celery, 1/4 cup chopped green onion, 1/4 cup chopped cucumbers and 1 large grated carrot. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chives, and parsley to taste. Dress with 1/2 cup mayo and 4 tbsp prepared mustard.

If You Give a Girl a Passport: How to Fill the Last Two Weeks Before the Trip of a Lifetime #ShareFunshine #ad #cbias

If you give a girl a passport, she's going to ask for a trip to England. Chances are, if you plan a trip to England, she's going to need some distractions to fill the last two weeks before you go.

Lynzie and I are headed to England in less than two weeks! We're going to spend three days in Bath, a day in Chawton, and two days in Winchester. It's going to be a fun-filled, Jane Austen-fangirl, tea drinking, garden strolling extravaganza! We just need to get through these Last. Two. Weeks.

Lynzie has always been super creative so she's done pretty well filling her hours at a time when we'd normally be starting our homeschool year. This week, she's been having some fun with crafts and snacks. Last night, she made this adorable garden gnome coin bank from a Dr Pepper® bottle. 

Make sure to enter the Share a Little Funshine giveaway and then read on to see how she completed this super cute project. (Widget may take a little bit to load.)

Most of our family members are huge fans of Dr Pepper® so we usually end up including it in fun activities like last year's end of the homeschool year party or as a complement to my candy bar granola bars. This week, I picked up a 2-liter of Dr Pepper® Cherry from Walmart.

I had made Monster Cookies over the weekend so everyone got a little bit of pop to go with their cookie (or half a cookie for the little ones---these are big!). It's really easy to make a pop bottle coin bank like Lynzie made me. First empty the bottle, then wash it and remove the label. 

Next, use a sharp pair of scissors to cut an opening for your coins. Make sure it's big enough to get the coins back out again!

Cut plastic can be sharp so I melted the edges of the opening to smooth them out.

Finally, paint it up super cute and let it dry. What a great idea to make an iconic British garden gnome!

I'm already saving for next year's trip with my adorable new garden gnome coin bank!

Michael has been pretty great about listening to all of Lynzie's exciting plans for England. I love it that my teens get along so great. She even shared her M&M's® Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches with him while they were having a chat outside.

Speaking of M&M's®, they're the key ingredient in my family's favorite Monster Cookies recipe. My mom has been making these for us since I was little and I love to make them once or twice a year for my own family. I use big bags of M&M's® Plain and M&M's® Peanut because I like to have some extras to push into the tops of the cookies to make them extra colorful.

Monster Cookies

1 lb. butter or margarine

60 oz. peanut butter

1/3 c. baking soda

2 lb. brown sugar

4 c. sugar

2 TB corn syrup

1 T vanilla

1 dozen eggs

2 c. chocolate chips

18 c. oats

2 c. each M&M's® Plain and M&M's® Peanut + extra for topping

Mix the butter and peanut butter together in a stand mixer. Sprinkle baking soda on top and mix in well, breaking up any clumps. Pour mixture into a soup pot and add sugars, corn syrup, and vanilla. Beat eggs and add to the mixture. Mix very well with a large spoon. Stir in chocolate chips and oats. Stir in M&M's®. Scoop out cookie dough with 1/4 cup measuring cup and bake on ungreased pans at 350º for about 15 minutes.

With a can of Dr Pepper® Cherry, a yummy cookie snack, some sunshine, and a great book, Lynzie was able to conquer one more morning leading up to our trip. I know it's going to be the experience of a lifetime---even though the last couple weeks can seem like forever!
