Say Hello to Spring in One of These 11 Super Stylish Shoes

**Full Disclosure: I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Influence-Central for Proacitv+. I received samples of Proactiv+ to facilitate my review and a thank you item for participating.
I know we’ve all seen them, or if your like me been them…that teen with the “red spots” all over their face, yes I’m talking acne…it’s normal for them with all the hormones surging through their bodies, so we really don’t think twice about it. But what happens when this follows you into adulthood? No, I’m not talking 20, I’m talking into your 30s or even 40s. I’m 33 and still suffer with acne, truth be told it’s not as bad, but I still get looked at when heading out and there is a huge red blemish staring them in the face. All they see is my acne, and not me. The past 6 weeks I’ve been able to try out Proactiv+ and today I’m going to share my experience with you.
The Proactiv+ System is a 3 step system that comes with a bonus once or twice a week mask! It’s simple to use and gentle on skin.
I’ve been using Proactiv+ for about 6 weeks now and love how its been for my skin. It didn’t start off as all roses though…I got a huge under the skin blemish within the first week that lasted about two weeks, but since then I haven’t had any blemishes at all! It’s even cleared up the black heads (gross) that plague my nose.
Proactiv+ helps fight breakouts and makes your skin look and feel healthier through a range of skincare ingredients. There are three steps in the core system:
Skin Smoothing Exfoliator has gentle exfoliating beads and glycolic acid gently move away excess oil, dirt , and other impurities so benzoyl peroxide can penetrate the pore to kill acne-causing bacteria.
Pore Targeting Treatment has an exclusive Smart Target designed to deliver benzoyl peroxide directly into the pore with laser-like precision. More in the pore means fewer blemishes and less irritation on your skin.
Complexion Perfection Hydrator drenches skin with essential skincare ingredients designed to help soothe irritation, even skin tone, visibly reduce post-acne marks and leave skin soft, hydrated and radiant. Salicylic acid, and anti-acne medicine, helps pores appear smaller by keeping them free of the oily build-up that makes them appear larger.
After using this 3-step system I see my skin clearer and more radiant than ever which has boosted my self-esteem immensely! I can leave the house and know when people are talking to me, they are paying attention to me, and not the blemishes.
The “plus” in Proactiv Plus means “more” with more advanced skin care benefits built-in to give you a more luminous complexion.

When the next snow falls who will he take?
Based on Jo Nesbø’s global bestseller, The Snowman stars Michael Fassbender (X-Men series) and Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible—Rogue Nation)
When an elite crime squad’s lead detective, Harry Hole (Fassbender) investigates the disappearance of a victim on the first snow of winter, he fears an elusive serial killer may be active again. With the help of a brilliant recruit (Ferguson), the cop must connect decades-old cold cases to the brutal new one if he hopes to outwit this unthinkable evil before the next snowfall.
Charlotte Gainsbourg (Independence Day: Resurgence), Val Kilmer (Heat) and Academy Award® winner J.K. Simmons (Whiplash) also star in The Snowman, a terrifying thriller from director Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) and executive produced by Martin Scorsese.

Growing up there was nothing I liked more than my little doll. My doll even had a matching tricycle! It’s been many years since then, but dolls are still a top toy for little girls. I’ve noticed a change over the years as well, dolls have gotten more life like and bigger (with the exception on the life-sized ones they came out with years ago). My doll was oh, say 6-8″ tall and it was the best thing ever!
Now I don’t have any girls, so I haven’t really explored the doll department other than to pick my nieces up a thing or two, but I was able to check out the 18″ Springfield Dolls and they’re pretty cool. I know I would have wanted her as a little girl. There are 5 18″ Springfield Dolls: Ella, Paige, Alexis, Madison and Savannah, all of which is known for its silky hair and sparkling eyes now has a brand new and Boutique Collection of cute clothes at a budget friendly price, exclusively at Jo-Ann Fabric Stores.

For those unfamiliar with Springfield Dolls, they have been around since 1996! The “girls” have sparkling lifelike eyes that open and close and boast silky, long, rooted hair that can be brushed and styled. Each doll is soft and huggable with moveable arms and legs, making dressing and undressing easy. Springfield Dolls are a division of Fibre-Craft®, LLC, the beloved company that is celebrating 60+ years of making children’s craft products.

So when it comes to video games, I’m obsessed with the Lego games…I grew up playing Legos, and still like to buy a set here or there for myself and my boys. I was excited when they started rolling out the video games years ago. Then last fall we stopped by Game Stop and saw this advertisement for the newest Lego game, Lego Dimensions, that would be much like Disney Infinity or Skylanders in the fact that you have to collect characters & use a platform to play the game.
I finally bought it as a family gift for Christmas, and well…I think I’ve played it more than anyone. The Lego Dimensions starter pack comes with the Portal platform, Batman Lego Figure, Batmobile, Gandolf Lego Figure & Wildstyle Lego Figure. I was so excited about the game I went ahead a purchased a Back To The Future Level Pack & Scooby Doo Team Pack. Since playing the game, I get anxious to get other characters to be able to unlock gold bricks and other special things…so I’ve purchased the Wicked Witch Fun Pack & Jurrasic World Team Pack.
Okay…lets get into Lego Dimensions game play…
You start the game with your three starter pack characters. Each game hero’s “sidekick” has been stolen by the villainous Lord Vortech who is collecting heroes, villains, and the “Foundation Artifact” of each of the 14 worlds in an effort to rebuild the worlds into a single “perfect” dimension created in his image. You are aided by his former henchman robot, X-PO, who helps you retrieve the foundation elements & artifacts.
As in other Lego games, You go around each level busting up everything to collect studs, find gold bricks, use basic Lego combat, and figure out puzzles. Different Lego character’s are needed as they have different specific abilities, but where Dimensions differs is that some abilities are activated by placing the characters on different parts of the LEGO toy pad. ie. You may need to move Wildestyle to different sections of the board to activate her scanning or master builder ability.
Your characters start their adventure together by first traveling through the unstable portal to OZ where you battle the Wicked Witch to collect your first Keystone, which in the end when all collected will stabilize the portal (you have 5 keystones to collect). After you collect your keystones or finish that level you will be taken back to “home base” where you can enter the portal again and keep moving forward in the game, or you can head up and check out all the adventure worlds where there are extra tasks and plenty of stud collecting waiting. The DC, Lord Of The Rings & Lego Movie worlds are all unlocked and ready to play. You can unlock other worlds when you purchase the additional packs.
Speaking of additional packs…I’m excited about today’s release! The Ghostbusters pack has been released TODAY! This release adds “A Spook Central Adventure!” and themed characters to the action! This means you can now own Peter Venkman, Ecto-1 & the Ghost Trap! Stay Puft Fun Pack will be released March 31 & Slimer Fun Pack will be released May 31. There will be many more releases this year so be sure to check out the Lego Dimensions site and social media pages to keep up with all the releases.
Stay Puft Fun Pack will be released March 31

As parents every year we ponder as to what our children are going to want and ask for this year. With 4 boys I hear it all…they see commercials and then there are the toy magazines that come out close to Christmas where they circle what they want. The favorite part of my job, and theirs is getting to test out toys and give their opinions. I’ve taken note throughout the year their favorites and have included our favorites in our Gifts Your Kids Will Love – 2015 Holiday Gift Guide.
