Rodan + Fields Skincare: Review and Giveaway!

First of all, let me say that I am not big into skin care. I know I should be since I'm in my 30s and all but I'm not. I have my normal routine of moisturizer and eye cream and I have some serum or something I use before that but I am lucky if I remember to do this once a week let alone every night. Admit it, there are quite a few of you out there who are just like me. You CARE about your skin but you just don't make it a priorty. Maybe it's starting to feel worn, maybe it's lost that dewy glow from your youth... whatever it is, you're noticing the change and you want it to stop.
A friend of mine offered to let me try a mini facial from Rodan + Fields. At fist I was totally skeptical and I honestly tucked it in my bathroom cabinet and forgot about it. Then she asked if I wanted to do a giveaway on my blog and as you all know, I don't give away or review products that I haven't tried myself. The thing is though, I didn't want to deprive YOU guys the chance to try it for yourselves so this week I set time aside to do it.

WOW. First of all, I didn't NEED to set time aside. It's super quick and easy. The Micro Dermabrasion paste was LIFE CHANGING. I cannot for the life of me remember when my face last felt this soft. I had a professional facial done by the people at Dior a few years ago and while it was awesome, it was not as drastic as this was. It felt great and it smells amazing. I used the lip serum and the face serum afterwards as instructed and oh my gosh!! You guys are going to LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. It's crazy because like I said, I was skeptical and figured my review would be more, "It's nice, you should try it and decide for yourself" but instead my review is WOW WOW WOW TRY THIS NOW!!! LIFE CHANGING!!!!!!

SO! How do you get to try a minifacial of your own?? It's simple:
Win one of 5 mini facial sets from Rodan + Fields skincare. 
This amazing skincare line was developed by the same dermatologists that created ProActive!

Winners will be announced on October 1st!

To make this even better, MB is giving my readers their choice of free make-up wipes, spf body cream or sunless tanning foam with an $80+ preferred customer purchase when you mention From Lazy to Lady!

Just incase you're feeling insecure about some of the questions, my biggest facial skin scare concern is blackheads and giant pores of doom. Just one use of the micro dermabrassion paste and I had noticiably less blackheads which made my pores look smaller too.

Good Luck! Comment to let me know you entered!

Lessons on being a Lady Part II - GIVEAWAY!

Something that I have always felt was very important to being a Lady was formal correspondence. I have had pen-pals ever since I was a little girl. There's nothing quite like opening the mailbox to find a hand written envelope with a note from far off places.  Email, facebook, and different IM features have greatly diminished the amount of "snail mail" people send and receive these days.


That makes me sad.
I am a HUGE stationary buff. I have tons of different kids. Formal, casual, childish, you name it, I have it. I am the type of person that draws and colors on the envelopes and puts stickers all over the outside before I mail a letter or card.
Stationary was so important to me that I even designed and made my own wedding invitations and wedding thank yous! It took forever but was totally worth it. We still get compliments on them today.


I think every one needs to send and receive more personal, hand written mail. It brings a smile to your face when you get mail, and you know you're making someone smile when you send a letter or a card.


In fact, if any of you would like to be pen-pals, send me an email so we can swap mailing addresses. 


With that said, I'd like to introduce my very first giveaway to help get all you ladies in training headed down the path to proper correspondence!
