New AVEENO products launched this month

AVEENO does a lot of research before putting a product on the market. The Active Naturals line uses a natural plants that have benefits that have been researched. Some of their Active Natural products contain beneficial ingredients like shitaki mushrooms, southernwood, seaweed extract, and more.

I’m so super excited about the products they introduced this month. Now that we’re smack in the middle of summer I hope everyone is remember their SPF and taking care of their skin. AVEENO can help. While they already had the AVEENO Positively Radiant tinted moisturizer available, it was only in one shade. Now you get get the AVEENO Positively Radiant tinted moisturizer in fair to light and medium. Both contain SPF 30.

PS, check out the super hot deal on this on Amazon, only $6 (normally $15) so grab it up if you wanna try it!

This Active Naturals product uses the benefits of soy, an anti-oxidant that helps even out skin tone and skin texture.

Super excited about the next one. Since I discovered the world of dry shampoos I’ve had better hair days. If I wash my hair every day it tends to get dried out even if I use conditioner. If I try to wash every other day then my hair looks limp and greasy which I can’t stand. Dry shampoos are awesome for my hair. I can dry shampoo on the days I want to give my hair a break. Now AVEENO offers their own dry shampoo!

AVEENO Pure Renewal Dry Shampoo helps to remove excess oils and is even safe for color treated hair.

Alright so I’m very excited about all these new products. The next one is the AVEENO Ulta-Calming Make up Removing wipes. I can not wait to try these! I use a make up remover. I have a hard time finding one I like. Several that I’ve tried feels like I’m rubbing vegetable oil all over my face. I really don’t like that feeling. I’m hoping these wipes will be as clean and light as the rest of their products.

Info on the new 1099K for small business

I came across this info as a request for a sponsored post. I actually liked the info being offered. My husband has his own eBay store and this may pertain to him. I thought perhaps some of you might find this info helpful if you’re a blogger, eBay seller, Etsy owner, Independent Sales rep, or just about any small business. I don’t have to deal with this yet for my blog but hoping maybe one day 🙂

Brought To By Outright.com

I think it has some good info on tax time questions. Also I don’t know if everyone can read the fine print in the header but it says this info pertains to anyone who

“Online seller including eBay, Etsy, and Amazon, and any others who have $20,000 or more in gross sales and 200 transactions or more will now receive a 1099-K from their third party payment networks, like paypal, showing gross sale reported to the IRS.”

Turn your memories into fun family time with Piczzle: review/giveaway

We all have a bunch of pictures. Whether they’re kept in a scrapbook, a box, or all over the walls we have them. Pictures are a great way to decorate and add warmth to you home. Pictures are memories that can be treasured for a long time.

Piczzle adds a fun and great way to use your pictures. Piczzle offers picture puzzles in a number of sizes. You can get them in a thick and sturdy cardboard or wood. You can choose your picture puzzle is as few as 6 to as many as 2000 pieces.

These puzzles are very well made. I received the cardboard version in 16 pieces. Since I already owned one I decided to get one with my niece on it for my sister. Which brings me to another point, Piczzle puzzles are a great gift idea for those that have everything. Think how excited a grandparent would be to have a puzzle of their grandchildren. Or maybe send one to someone you know in the military both for entertainment and for the picture aspect.

This was the picture my sister chose for her puzzle. I thought it would work quite well with all the cars and colors in the picture. She chose 16 piece cardboard puzzle because she wanted her daughter to be able to help put it together with her. Before I gave it to her, I had my 10 yr old son put it together to make sure all the pieces worked and fit properly.

My son had fun putting it together. Of course, for a 10 yr old a 16 piece puzzle didn’t really challenge him but he loved helping with the review.

Look how great the puzzle turned out. Looks just like the picture I uploaded to the site. I just know my sister and my niece are going to love this.

You can get your customized jigsaw puzzle from just almost any pic you can upload to their site. Lots of sizes and even styles to choose from. You can get puzzles with different borders and even different shapes if you like.

Piczzle is social too. Find them on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Piczzle and on Youtube
