Carmex Moisture Plus Limited Edition Collection

**I received the below mentioned products as part of the Carmex Blog Squad. Giveaway is sponsored by Carmex. No other compensation has been received. Any opinions expressed are my own**

Winter time is a time for me to add to my daily routine. By this time it is now a daily routine to apply lotion and lip balm lest I want my skin to drive me crazy and be self conscious about my dry lips. Using Carmex products has a certain nostalgia for me. My grandmother used to use it and I don’t know what it is, but I love the smell of it. Just because it’s been around since 1937, doesn’t mean it has to look like it.

This year Carmex is offering the Carmex Moisture Plus sticks in 4 graphically-printed lip balms, each with it’s own personality.

These slim designer sticks can easily fit into a purse, pocket, or backpack. So which of these fit your personality? If you’re not sure you can take the quiz at: http://mycarmex.com/uniquelyyou/ I did, it said my style is: Chic I was kinda leaning towards that anyway and actually you can see that’s the one I opened to try right away in the pictures. I love the classics. I love the style of people like the Duchess Kate and Victoria Beckham, modest beauty. The other designs are really cool though. Your personality might be Fab, Whimsical, Adventurous, or Chic.

If I were to create my own personality sticks I’d love to see a Rock Princess personality maybe black with cute little skulls with a pink bow on it. Or maybe Glam with some rhinestones on it. I’d love those too. I’m classic most the time but when I want to step it up a notch I go to one of those fashion personalities.

These sticks are perfect for moisturizing but they also have spf 15 to protect your lips as well. These sleek and stylish tubes would fit nicely into a Christmas stocking or gift basket.

Stocking Stuffer Idea: My Hikes (And Coupon)

**I received the below mentioned product in order to complete an honest review. No other compensation has been received. Any opinions expressed are my own**

I try to get my kids some fun things and some clothes to put under their tree. When it comes to their stockings, I like to do treats and some practical things. Things like holiday candies and socks area always good. One practical stocking stuffer idea that moms of little ones will certainly appreciate are My Hikes Fasteners. Adjust the length of growing kids pants without pins or sewing in a cute way.

I have a 4 yr old son and an 8 month old daughter I use My Hikes with. These have been great. When the kids transition from one size too the next, sometimes the pants are just too long. They end up stepping all over the bottom of their pant legs and ruining them. Before I knew about My Hikes with my older boys I’d have to sew the hems up that took some time and dragging out my sewing machine. My hikes are simple to use plastic clips. Before I ever tried them I had to wonder if they would really stay in place. I figured they’d pop open after the kids had them on an hour and we’d lose the set within a day. That was 2 years ago when I got my first set to try with my son (who was about 2 years old then, we still have the same set. My 4 yr old son is transition from size 4 to size 5 clothes. The fives have a little more length on them so I use his bullodozer set on him. My daughter is only 8 months but is 90th percentile for her length. We’re already transitioning her into 12 month baby clothes because a lot of her 6-9 month clothes are getting too short. I put a pair of 12 month baby jeans on her and used the My Hikes. Even through her crawling all over the floor all day they are still in place.

My daughter received the cute butterfly design. When I have these on my kids at least one person always asks about them. My son wore his to pre-school and he said “all the kids were looking at them, they wanted to see them”. Another think I like about these is it can extend your girl’s wardrobe. How? You can use them to turn her pants into capris for the spring time. These really pay for themselves in keeping pants hems from fraying and extending wardrobes.

Here’s a video from My Hikes to give you more reasons and uses:
