Robin McGraw Revelation sheet masks - what your Monday needs!

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Monday! Oh, how I love Monday. Well, most Mondays. School is back and I'm gone to the Cosmoprof show in Las Vegas. I'll be sharing the finds when I get back!

Now speaking of finds, this set of masks from Robin Mcgraw - the wife of Dr. Phil from television, has been a quiet strength behind her husband for a long time - but now - she is shining in her own line of skincare, positive encouragement for women, fragrance and these masks!


 I just received some samples from the line. In  general, I love at home skin care and spa treatments. I regularly use sheet masks and was in no way prepared for how awesome these are!  They truly are different and a step up from a regular sheet mask with the bio cellulose fibers that make up the mask that holds the serums.  Whoa.




 I started with the Robin McGraw Revelation masks for fine lines and wrinkles that includes peach blossom stem cells. The mask it self is a thick, pulpy, gelly, cool serum soaked mask that applies easily to the face. There is NOT a neck piece which I wish there were. In my experience, because of the thick gel texture it "sucks" on to the face. Most sheet masks that I wear, I need to be laying down or in a reclined position - but not this mask! It stays on the face even when upright so if you need to answer emails or do the dishes while wearing this - go ahead!

I also have samples of the brightening and spot lightening mask with ice plant stem cells as well as the hydrating firming face mask with orchid stem cells. I'll be testing those out when I get home from Cosmoprof because the travel, high desert, and casino smoke tends to take a toll on my skin!

These masks are $22 each and  are currently available on the Robin McGraw Revelation website .
 Stay tuned, I have some samples of the rest of her line coming and will be reviewing those soon!


 Now, here's a little bit about Mrs. Robin McGraw, she's so much more than just the wife of Dr. Phil!

About Robin McGraw & Robin McGraw Revelation

Entrepreneur

Robin’s hope is to inspire all women to choose to live their lives with passion and purpose. In 2014, Robin founded the Robin McGraw Revelation Lifestyle Brand with a mission to encourage women to believe that it is not selfish to put themselves first, to understand that they deserve to embrace their own beauty, health, and happiness, and to know they must take care of themselves in order to take care of those they love.
In the brand’s first year, Robin partnered with the Home Shopping Network for an exclusive launch of her original skincare line. This debut broke all records, including new customers and “sold-out” sales, to name a few, on every appearance over a 24-hour time period ever held on the network.

Robin McGraw Revelation

In 2016, Robin launched Robin McGraw Revelation’s Luxury Skincare Collection, featuring daily and nightly regimens. Products are free of harmful sulfates, mineral oil, parabens, and chemicals. All products are also formulated without animal testing.
In addition to featuring effective formulations, the luxury line boasts beautiful packaging and inspiring names that are not only a reflection of the products, but are a nod to women embracing the beauty and fun of aging and living their lives freely, with passion and purpose. A motivational quote from Robin, hidden under the lid of each package, serves as reminder to women to feel empowered and to always live each day with a smile.
Robin’s products have been featured in The New York Times, Redbook, Allure, Los Angeles Times, People Magazine, and more. Products from Robin’s line were also recently named Beauty O-Ward winners in O, The Oprah Magazine Spring 2017 and Fall 2017.

Philanthropist

With the launch of When Georgia Smiled: The Robin McGraw Revelation Foundation in October 2013, Robin set out to enact real change by creating and advancing programs that help women, children, and men escape domestic violence and sexual assault. In its first year, Robin created the Aspire Initiative, a free curriculum aiming to reduce the level of intimate relationship violence in the U.S. and instill the importance of bystander responsibility. Today, it is taught in schools across the country. Robin also launched the Aspire News app, a free, virtual life-saving smartphone app which is disguised as a current news app but allows users to easily alert selected contacts if they are in danger with a pre-typed or pre-recorded message. It was recognized on Capitol Hill by the National Health Collaborative on Violence and Abuse as one of the top two apps that are the most effective in the fight to end domestic violence, with over 500,000 downloads.
Robin is a founding board member of The Dr. Phil Foundation, National Spokesperson for Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children (C.A.S.A.), National Celebrity Spokesperson for the Girl Scouts of the USA, member of the American Red Cross National Celebrity Cabinet, 2015 America’s Mother of Achievement Award presented by American Mothers recipient, 2015 Crystal Award from Laura’s House recipient, 21st Annual Knock Out Abuse Gala hosted by CNN’s Wolf Blitzer honoree, Heart of Gold by the Starlight Foundation honoree, Big Heart Award by the Westside Children’s Center honoree, 2014 Woman of Distinction by the Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles and more.

Media Personality

A daily presence on Dr. Phil since its inception, viewers worldwide have embraced Robin's contributions to the show; whether she’s discussing her experiences as a woman, wife, mother and now, grandmother, or dealing with issues that women encounter in every phase of their lives. Robin has been to every taping of more than 2,500 shows.
Robin is a highly sought-after public speaker. Most notably, she was a featured speaker at Oprah Winfrey’s O You! event in 2012 and embarked on a year-long tour as keynote speaker for the Women of Faith Presentations. Robin has been featured multiple times on The Doctors, The Today Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The View, Rachael Ray, Home & Family, Entertainment Tonight, and many more.

Best Selling Author

Robin’s first book, Inside My Heart: Choosing to Live with Passion and Purpose, debuted at #1 on The New York Times bestsellers list, a spot Robin claimed again with the release of What’s Age Got to Do With It?. Robin has since released From My Heart to Yours: Life Lessons on Faith, Family and Friendship and Christmas In My Home and Heart. More than 2.5 million copies of Robin’s books have sold through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other top retailers.

Wife, Mother & Grandmother

Robin and Dr. Phil, whom she fondly refers to as “Phillip”, have been married for more than 41 years and have two sons, Jay Phillip and Jordan Stevens. Robin continues to make her family, which now includes daughter-in-law Erica and two grandchildren, Avery Elizabeth and London Phillip, the priority in her life.

Wine Wednesday with a video review of Livingston

Hi ya Gorgeous!

Who Needs Road Trip Games For Entertainment? Goliath Games Got Whatcha Need!

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Oh July is half way over and the new school year is less than 2 weeks away! We aren't ready! We have 2 more road trips coming up, just lil jaunts and we want to savor every second of it before we get back into the grind of commuting to school again. Ugh!

I just received samples from Goliath Games of some fun family games that can be played on a road trip, in the RV and while at the camp site!  I'm interested in anything that will get my cub off of his device!





When the box arrived we tore it open to find some fun choices for entertainment and making a long road trip feel shorter.  There is a stretch of road on the 40 for us that feels like forever, even though it really is only 2 hours worth of driving.

Thank you Goliath Games for the samples which include from left to right in the photo, iTop, Flippn Chips, Magnetic Games, Charades for Kids and Color Smash.

All of these can be played on the road and are great for storing in the RV for times when you get to the campsite and want something to play at the picnic tables.

My son was most intrigued by the battery powered top and the chinese checkers aspects of the Magnetic Games which actually has multiple choices in the one blue box! He was saying that the charades was like Pictionary - to which I said, that charades came first! We haven't tried the Color Smash yet and we are saving for the beach next week!

You can find Goliath Games on Amazon here

Here is a bit more about Goliath Games and these choices:

These games were made with the travelling family in mind and are extremely portable. They are the perfect size to be thrown into a camping bag, simply leave room for plenty of s’mores ingredients.

               Create a new family tradition this camping trip with iTop, spin it to win it. iTop is an incredibly sophisticated spinning top that can keep track of the number of spins spun. Have a friendly family competition to see who can spin the highest score and unlock the most hidden challenges. Who will be the ultimate iTop master?
               Take a break from hiking with Color Smash, the fun, fast card game of color coordination and fast reflexes. Color Smash includes 113 colorful slap cards, each one featuring a different color and word combo. Family members take turns laying out their slap cards, until there is a splat with the correct color word on it then SLAP! Be the first player to collect the most cards to win.
               6-In-1 Travel Magnetic Games has something everyone will love including Checkers, Chess, Backgammon, Parcheesi, Chinese Checkers, and Snakes and Ladders. It is the perfect travel companion as the built-in storage drawer holds everything your family needs. Let siblings take turns selecting their favorite game this camping trip.  
               Enjoy a family picnic with Flip’n Chips, the refreshing memory game. Shake up the game then pour out the fun, as family members take turns flipping chips over to match the colors and shapes. The first players to match seven chips wins. 
               These travel games are the key to unlocking the ultimate family camping trip. Bring the family closer together this summer with a camping getaway full of games, fun and laughter. These games can be found at all major retailers. iTop will be available August 2018.

Summer Skin Resuce with Ola Hawaiian Body Products -Sugar Polish

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Monday!
Oh how I love a Monday! I get so much accomplished on a Monday! This summer barely has 2 weeks left in it for us!
Yes, the summer weather and months continue but for us, school goes back the first week of August.
Oy!

We have been in the pool, in the desert, on the road, and then some. My skin is dry to begin with now add the chlorine from the pool and of course, sunshine!

I just received samples of the new sugar polishes from Ola Tropical Apothecary, in the scents Rainforest and Pikake-note about this scent, it's basically gardenia. Oh my goodness, gardenia is my most favorite fragrance!


These are handmade with natural and organic ingredients! The scent is from essential oils and lasts on the skin after washing. The coconut oil that is the base for the scrub feels great on dry pool baked skin.

I've been using the Pikake over the weekend and it's already helping my dry feet and hands to be softer. The other scent I have is Rainforest - and that tub of goodness is a reader giveaway on my Instagram - so get in on it using this link!

Build-a-Bear Pay Your Age Promotion

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Quick post to jump in on a Thursday, which is unscheduled- to support the many moms who wanted to do something wonderful, make a great memory for their kids and get a prized Build-a-Bear bear today and had a different experience.



Mom - good for you! Build-a-Bear, good for you for trying to do something great for your fans and sorry it went sideways.

Don't know what I'm talking about, let me fill you in. Today, July 12th, Build-a-Bear ran a store promotion, that you could build a bear of your choice, for your age.

For those of you who are mom shaming the many moms and families standing in very long lines, in the heat and inclement weather, thank you for thinking of your kids joy!   To the moms who took their kids out of school to go get a bear for the price of their age, thank you for making a life memory for them!

For those with the hate, shame, and over all verbal online beating for the moms wanting to get a bear, the shame is actually on you. Obviously, you haven't been to Build-a-Bear!  The quote that I read that made me want to log on and write about my own experience was

"So stupid! Just go tomorrow and pay full price! Problem solved"

That was the straw.

So my experience with Build-a-Bear, which we have lovingly in our household termed "Build-a-Billion" is because of the price. The stuffed animal my son got is and was amazing! The experience from the Build-a-Bear staff was above par! Oh how she took such loving time and care with my son creating Roy Meower seen below.



Everything in the store was magical. From selecting the stuffed animal skin, to the stuffing and her having him help put the fluff in and then the heart. Oh my gosh. Made me cry in the store!  If you haven't been, this is a spoiler alert!

The Build-a-Bear care bear builder had my son hold the stuffed red heart in his hands and warm it up while singing a little song to start it beating.

Then Roy Meower went on to be sewed up and we we picked an outfit for him.  Oh it was fun and my son was very happy with his new stuffed animal, a tiger, named Roy Meower. 

Oh. Then I had to pay. He was given a $25 gift card to spend at Build-a-Bear, and I was adding it up as we went along in the process and the little bits of loving care and attention were adding up! Fast!

Grand total at the end of this magical give birth to a personalized stuffed animal experience was $75 dollars. $74.97 to be exact. Was it worth it? Yes. Absolutely. Would I do it again. No.

Yes, there was a discount bin of animals to choose from - but they were funky and girly and my son would have none of that. Then I could have asked my son to not do the stuffed heart, more fluff, an outfit and so on - though - this is about the experience. And we got it, we just paid for it.

So today as I'm reading the mean spirited mom shaming attacks at these families wanting a bit of joy and magic for the price of their age, $4, or $7, $18 dollars - I say you good for you! You made a memory just not the one you were expecting.

I'm really hoping that Build-a-Bear does right by the people in line and offer them a voucher, one that is time and date stamped, signed by the manager guaranteeing that they can come back next week and exchange for the same deal, a bear for the price of their age.




Today has been a social media nightmare for Build-a-Bear BUT it doesn't have to stay that way!  Just think of how over the next few weeks the social feed can be filled with happy smiling faces hugging a bear they just created, for the price of their age, when they came back to the store to see that yes, a business and a brand can keep their word and their promise!  Talk about customers for life!

Wine Wednesday: California Dream Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Phew! Just got back from a whirlwind trip from my small town to the big city to do back to school shopping.


Yes. You read that right. BTS is here in the state of Arizona. We still have a few weeks, though the big sales ended today and I wanted to take advantage of those.  Since we start so early in August, when the national back to school sales start in late September, we've already been in school for weeks!

Now, to the blog post. It's Wednesday - that means wine time! Today I have a great under $10 wine review for you of California Dream. It's a medium bodied fruity cabernet sauvignon and if you like cherry, you'll like this wine! Enjoy!



Thank you for tuning in today! This video is a review of a great under $10 wine from Walmart.
I liked it - and you may too!
Please comment if you have a wine recommendation for me to try!

The Pink Steering Wheel Chronicles - a book review for you

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Monday and happy on the way to mid July holy smokes where does the summer go!

The fam took the Independence Day holiday to be more like a week. There really didn't seem to be a point to working the beginning of the week or the end of the week - so we didn't! We just enjoyed adventures, cook outs, swimming, movies and books!

I received a copy of The Pink Steering Wheel Chronicles by Laura Fahrenthold for review from the publisher, and boy am I glad I did! Normally, this isn't a book that I would pick up since I normally only read diy, self help, finance and film manuals, though this is a gem of a read!



This is a love story. A true story. An inspiring story. And a life lesson manual all rolled in to one book.

The author, Laura Fahrenthold, and her two teenage daughters set out across the country in an RV to help heal the sudden loss of a most beloved family member.

Laura doesn't hold anything back. Her work as a journalist for Woman's World and The New York Daily News shines in her conversational writing style and the telling of her journey in a story format that is both entertaining and relatable.

What I enjoyed most in the book is how Laura related the death of her daughters father, and let them have a say in  their healing process and what to do on the journey to help them move forward.

These gals learned hands on the RV lifestyle and took the daily situations as they happened. It's refreshing to see someone live life with such gusto while such sorrow and sadness was waiting to just consume them.

If anything, this book can be read as a life manual for what to do when the love of your life suddenly collapses and dies.

Get this book on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/2m255JI

Learn more about Laura Fahrenthold on her website here: http://laurafahrenthold.com/
She has a fun blog that is keeping updates on what is going on with the family, post pink steering wheel adventures!

July Book Club Reads for This Month - From Funny to Study

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Hello July! Who else is ready for an exceptional month? I know I am!
I love books as much as I love wine. On many occasions, I like them together!

Today, I have a 2 suggestions from my reading that you just may enjoy also. Something to know ahead of time, I rarely ever read fiction. Unless, it's Game of Thrones Fire and Ice!

So knowing that - here are some faves that I plan to re-read and then some new ones too!

What are you reading this month?




 This  book from Tim Ferris is part read, part study and all learning! My book is so dog-eared and highlighted with sticky notes to boot! It's for everyone and every age too! 

Get it on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/2Ncq2hg



 This book is what you need when humor is prescribed for sanity! It's quirky good fun and full of anecdotal wisdom, so get your free copy on Amazon through the Kindle Unlimited program!
https://amzn.to/2tJ8zFa



Finally, some deep thoughts - check out The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind

One of the most influential works of social psychology in history, The Crowd was highly instrumental in creating this field of study by analyzing, in detail, mass behavior. The book had a profound impact not only on Freud but also on such twentieth-century masters of crowd control as Hitler and Mussolini — both of whom may have used its observations as a guide to stirring up popular passions. In the author's words, "The masses have never thirsted after the truth. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim."
Although the volume focuses on crowd psychology, it is also brilliantly instructive on the effects of the generally accepted beliefs of a nation's citizenry on the processes of history. Among the topics covered here are general characteristics and mental unity of the crowd; the crowd's sentiments and morality; its ideas, reasoning power, and imagination; opinions and beliefs of crowds and the means used by leaders to persuade; classification of crowds, including criminal and electrical assemblages, as well as the functioning of criminal juries and parliamentary assemblies.
A must-read volume for students of history, sociology, law, and psychology, The Crowd will also be invaluable to politicians, statesmen, investors, and marketing managers. "Any study of crowd behavior, popular psychology, fascism, etc. would do well to begin with Le Bon's work." — Anson Rabinbach, Professor of History, Princeton University.
