Body Care On-The-Go With Jinsa Essentials! #Giveaway #TravelingDays

Welcome to the first installment of Traveling Days, an event where we will be showcasing some of the best gear and accessories for all your summer road trips, family vacations, and getaways!
One of my hardest decisions when preparing for a vacation or road trip is always, "What body care items should I bring with me?" I have dry skin, so a lotion is a must any time of year. Of course I like a body spray or perfume as well, and I like to have matching fragrances for the lotion, spray and body wash, because layering makes the scent last longer. One thing I've run into is needing more naturally fragranced skin care, because I have reacted to several body washes and lotions in the past. While looking for some travel body care kits to include in Traveling Days, I came across Jinsa Essentials, and they graciously offered to send me a travel set, as well as some extra items.

I received the Travel Size Set in Passionfruit Jasmine scent. This set includes an exfoliating bath and shower gel, waterless lotion, botanical light oil hair and body spray, and soft, silky smooth moisturizing oil. The passionfruit jasmine scent is amazing; very light, yet it lingers for hours. It has a decided hint of citrus blended in that makes it perfect for summer. The shower gel has tiny beads that exfoliate your skin, leaving it silky smooth indeed! Once you dry off, simply apply a small amount of the waterless lotion as needed, to lock in the moisture and fragrance. I also like using the oil spray on my arms (especially elbows and upper arms) for an extra boost of moisture. You'd think being an oil would make it slimy, but it doesn't at all! It absorbs very quickly, and turns your skin so soft.

The great thing about these Jinsa Essentials Travel Sets is that the lotion, spray and oil can all be used for your hair too! I haven't tried the lotion in mine yet, because honestly I haven't needed it. Normally after using shampoo and conditioner, I have to use a smoothing leave-in cream and a serum to keep my hair hydrated and de-frizzed. The past several mornings though, I've simply rubbed a dab of the oil between my hands, and finger-combed it through my hair. This is enough to keep my hair soft, shiny, and practically frizz-free throughout the rest of the day! Please note that when they say a little dab'll do ya, they really mean it! The first time I applied a little bit too much oil, and ended up having to wash my hair again-totally my fault. Since then I've kept it to a bare dab of oil, and that works perfect for even my long hair. I love the effect it has, not to mention how great my hair smells all day! I've been trying out all the scents (I mentioned they sent me a few extras, remember?!) and so far my favorite is the Passionfruit Jasmine, Olive Oil, and Pomegranate Seed. I love Jinsa Essentials!!

One of our readers will receive a Daily Moisturizing Oil and Botanical Hair Oil Spray!!

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child. Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First TV. Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age. And it works! Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life. Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words. Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing. There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along. The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish. Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer. Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.
