Nectresse Sweetener

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Nectresse™ Sweetener for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
It is definitely no secret that I have a sweet tooth (I think pretty much all of us sisters have a sweet tooth!).  So when I heard about this all natural sweetener...it is the only 100% natural sweetener made from fruit - monk fruit extract, I knew I needed to try it out!  I have never been a fan of the other sweeteners out there.  But this was different.  Let me explain...
Peach season was here...I ordered a huge case of peaches.  A favorite treat of mine is cut up a few peaches and sprinkle with sugar and enjoy!  This time I tried NECTRESSE™Sweetener.

I was nervous that I would taste an after taste or that I wouldn't enjoy my bowl of peaches like normal.  Not the case!!  I couldn't tell a difference...it tasted great!!  PLUS, I didn't need to use as much as I normally would with sugar.
I love the testimonial from NECTRESSE™Sweetener spokesperson Lisa Ling...due to a family history of diabetes she was always cautious about her sugar intake and relied on no calorie sweeteners to satisfy her sweet tooth - but she didn't like any as much as NECTRESSE™Sweetener!  Here is her video
The great thing is that you can receive a free sample to try it out yourself!! FREE sample of NECTRESSE™Sweetener

Green Hair

I don't know about you guys...but when we think about our summer childhood, the one thing we all remember is GREEN HAIR!!!
Being blondies + spending a lot of the summer in the pool = green hair

Now I have kids of my own and this summer was the first summer I remember looking at my daughters hair one day and thinking, hmmm her hair is looking a tad green!
What did I do???
I did what I remember doing to my own hair when I was younger...
LEMON JUICE!!

Before:

I gave her a regular bath...washing and conditioning like normal.
After I got her out of the tub, I brought her to the sink and just poured a little bit of lemon juice onto her ends (where the green is intensified).  Maybe 2 tbsp or so is all I used.  I rubbed my fingers through it and then rinsed it under the water so her hair wouldn't have an overwhelming lemon scent to it.  That was it!!

After:

Voila...easy solution for the green haired girls now that summer is coming to an end!!
