This is a sponsored post for MBK on their MBK Eye Rejuvenator, however, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
I feel a little like a naughty child for not posting in 2 weeks. Neil and I went on our 10 year wedding anniversary vacation and then it’s been a struggle to get back into the swing of things again, especially with all the kids sports games and activities. It’s back to the grind, that’s for SURE. Anyhooā¦…one skin care product I have actually been dying to tell you about is the MBK Eye Rejuvenator. I came across the brand Methode Brigitte Kettner on Instagram and scoopedĀ up this amazing little tool to try and help these poor under eyes of mine. I have used it for two weeks and wanted to share with you all the details! So, today on CCG, let’s talk about skincare and this awesome MBK eye rejuvenator!

Summer is here and for us, that means taking trips with or without the kids! Over the years, I have learned how much I despise packing and I feel like I am cramming our entire house into suitcases for a three day getaway. It’s nuts! What I have come to learn over time is to cut corners and pack less. Do the kids really need ten pairs of shorts and 7 stuffed animals? I think not. I have also come to terms with the fact that I can’t take every beauty and hair product with me as well. This is where the magical tool by Conair comes in! Today, read about my favorite new Conair product that can style your hair multiple ways!
This is a sponsored post. However, all thoughts and opinions regarding the Vampire Facial are my own.
Last week, I posted an Instagram and video story sharing about the amazing new skincare treatment I elected to have done. Looking back, I wish I took better care of my skin in my twenties. Since I didn’t have the wrinkles or the sun spots at 25, I was naĆÆve to think that not protecting my skin in the sun or using any creams as preventative measures was important. Now in my thirties, I so wish I could turn back the hands of time to make more of an effort to take care of my skin.Ā You just don’t think about that until it’s staring back at you in the mirror, right?! Luckily, there are new inventive procedures and facials out there that are meant to take away some of this sun damage and possibly make you look a bit younger in the process. Today on CCG, I am talking all about the experience I had getting my very first Vampire Facial at the Art of Beauty MediSpa in Danville, Ca.
Today on CCG, I am talking about my favorite haircare products that I am using right now. So many of you continuously ask me about what I use on my hair. Since it has been a hot minute that I have done a beauty post, I figured now was a great time to let you in on my tips and tricks for healthy haircare. I have listed everything I am currently using on my hair, including how I use it below.

This past weekend it snowed here in the foothills and now today itās going to be 80ā¦. Today will be spent gardening. Iāve noticed that when Iām in the yard planting flowers in my flower box and spend time out there, it really makes me happy and relaxes me. Whatās something you do that makes you happy?
SAVE AND SHARE THIS TIP! Want your fresh #hydrangeas to last longer? I have the perfect tip for you! You can repeat this tip multiple times on the same bouquet to get maximum use out of your fresh blooms! Simply, cut a small portion off the bottom of the stem, dip in ALUM (found in the spice section of the grocery store) and stick in cold water. I promise you, this trick works. If you are a hydrangea nut like me, and hate spending so much on flowers, then try this out and let me know! #hydrangea #homehack #hydrangealove
