Brand new for 2012 and perfect for this Summer:  Lunchbox Love for Camp 1 & 2. Is your child going away to Summer Camp for this first time?  Do you want a fun, loving way to stay connected?  Our friend’s at SayPlease.com have the perfect answer! Lunchbox Love for Camp! These are awesome little cards with positive notes on the front and camp trivia on the back.  Guaranteed to cause smiles when your child finds these cool little notes of love. Great for packing in their clothes or sending in a care package or even a letter. The set includes Lunchbox Love for Camp Volumes 1 & 2 and each set contains 12 cards-so there are 24 in all. We received the set to review and what I really love about Luncbox Love is how positive the card messages are. I’m a firm believer in building a child’s confidence and messages such as “We’re very proud of you” and “I love the person you have become” (found in this set of cards) are two of the best messages of all to give to your child.  The set can be found at SayPlease.com and retails for $5.98.

Do you have hair that Frizzes up from the humidity in the summer?  Nexxus has the answer! They have a great product called Frizz Defy-Frizz Protection Leave-In Oil Shine Treatment. It has ingredients like Moroccan Argan Oil and Coconut Extract. I received this product from our friends at Nexxus and I loved the instant shine, and that it doesn’t make my hair feel greasy! It really does fight frizz and protects against dryness! If you have color-treated hair, you should also try the Color Assure Radiant Color Care Shampoo & Conditioner. I also received these products to try out and love them! They really do protect color treated hair even longer and leave my hair clean, soft and shiny! Both products are enhanced to deliver 48% better color protection. The shampoo contains a blend of vitamin B-5 and UV protectors and conditioner is specially formulated with Aloe and UV protectors. There is also a leave-in spray conditioner which you can use with the shampoo and conditioner which made my hair feel even softer! These products can be found at many local Target and Walgreen stores or check out their website for more locations.
