  • I can’t wait to meet you there! (And be careful about handing out your swag so you don’t get in trouble.)

  • I love Cool Gear products I have some of the EZ-Freeze.

    Speaking of BlogHer is everyone going “into” BlogHer or are you meeting people outside of BlogHer. I’m bringing my family as well to NYC but was only going to attend the Expo Hall myself.

    Just curious how you are juggling the family and BlogHer as well.

  • Penelope

    I am going to everything, but only taking the clan to the Expo Hall (hubby wants to see what Dodge and Harley Davidson is up to, and he is toting our infant- whom I’m still nursing- along after me).

  • Penelope

    Cool Gear knows I can’t hand out swag to anyone who doesn’t ask for it, and they expect me to abide by BlogHer rules (they are awesome)

  • The Cool Gear Inc products look wonderful! Here’s to an amazing time at BlogHer.

ARM & HAMMER Spinbrush Solution #SwitchAndSave

Psst…I have a secret to tell you. If you have a child that won’t brush their teeth properly, I have the solution. It’s called the Spinbrush, and it’s the foolproof way to keep those toddler teeth clean. I was challenged to switch up my regular toothbrush to give the ARM & HAMMER Spinbrush a spin, […]

Express Yourself With COLOR And #Revlon

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Revlon. All opinions are 100% mine. Even though my days are filled with diapers, Diego, and my own little Dennis the Menace, sometimes I just want to have a little fun, and I can (with my makeup). I decided to break out of the […]

  • I’ve only done the bright red lips a couple times, but I must admit that it’s fun. You look beautiful, both with and without makeup! I also really like the nail polish color. That’s a fun summery shade!

  • You look beautiful!

  • Gorgeous, mama!

  • Donna

    I don’t wear red. Never. So I guess I should step out of my comfort zone, huh? 🙂 You look so pretty!

  • I’m not much of a fan of make-up, but I do love my eyeshadow and liquid eyeliner! Fantastic review. 🙂

  • Amanda

    Usually if I want to do something fun, It’s through nail polish! I love playing with colors and combinations.

  • I need to break away from the norm too! You look great, Penelope.

  • What fun colors! You look fabulous!

  • Great video! I love the unique eye shadow colors – very unexpected!

  • I love makeup, especially mascara, lipstick (fun colors) and lip gloss as well as bronzer and blush. I’ve never really gotten into the eye shadows – not sure why, really. I love the red lipstick! And though I’ve never worn orange nail polish, it looks good for summer – like sorbet.

  • I love having fun with makeup! You look beautiful!

  • Jenn

    You look so glam! But you look beautiful au naturel too. Not many people can pull that off.
    Sometimes I like to slap on some false lashes for a little va-va-voom.

  • I like their eyeshadows.

  • The Revlon line looks amazing! I love those shadow palettes and that polish shade is gorgeous. You look outstanding with or without cosmetics!

  • Your makeup looks great! I think it’s interesting that so many people reacted to your red lipstick 🙂

  • You are gorgeous! I love the color of that nail polish. I’ve had fun with bright red lipstick in the past:) I love to play around with my eyes. I try on every color and combination to see what looks best…it’s fun!

  • Billie

    You look great! I wish I knew how to do the smoky eye effect and have it look right. I love the sorbet color.

  • You just inspired me try some red lipstick… EEEK!

  • You look great. I am too afraid to go that bold with my lipstick.

  • I dont think I can pull off red lipstick. maybe I’m crazy :/

  • I love love love the polish. I’m going to look for that color and try to get it in before summer is over.

  • Like you, I usually wear pinky/beigey/natural looking shades on my lips. All the time. Even for weddings and more formal events. I wonder if I need to play them up with a little red lipgloss.

  • I love how your eyes turned out. I’m not much of a red lipstick kinda girl to bright for me.

  • You look fabulous!

  • Stefani

    I really like the color of the nail polish. I have been avoiding trying red lipstick.

  • Maggie

    I love how powerful a good red lipstick can make you feel!

  • I was so shocked that I loved the colors in this kit. Before I was always scared of red lipstick LOL. I learned when paired with the right colors there is nothing scary about it.

  • Penelope

    I wear the Bombshell eyeshadow every single day now, I LOVE IT! And I’m wearing the Sorbet nail polish too, the color is a beauty and makes me happy 🙂

  • You look great! Don’t know if I could pull off the bold lipstick though.

  • Jennifer The Quirky Momma

    I absolutely love wearing red lipstick! I don’t do it often, but it’s so fun and flirty!
