Calgon Take Me Away (+ a giveaway!)

Well friends, I'm not going to sugarcoat it, yesterday was a bit of a doozy...here I was bragging about how easy two kids has been so far and then, wham!! the little one decided that she didn't really feel like napping at all and the older one decided to be outright naughty (cut to me chasing her down the hallway with a screaming, wet baby who desperately needed the bath towel her sister had claimed as her dress up costume of the hour...wah!!)  I almost put them both in their rooms and curled into the fetal position...instead I took a deep breath, spritzed myself with the new face spray in my beauty arsenal by Elizabeth Dehn, and faced those two little girlies with a renewed peace of mind and glowing skin...

okay, haha, that was my weak attempt at overt product placement a la Bravo TV...the naughtiness was out of control yesterday and the face spray is divine but unfortunately cannot make parenting less of a challenge...however Elizabeth's new line is pretty off the charts in the feel good category - just 3 simple products from the beauty writer and mastermind behind the excellent Beauty Bets - a face spray, shea cream, and serum - with the tagline NO CHEMICALS, PRESERVATIVES, OR SYNTHETICS...they all smell and feel amazing and Elizabeth has generously offered up a free face spray to one of you lucky girls so comment away and I will pick a winner at random on Friday...did I mention that my tired new mom skin looks as fresh as a daisy?
 See  y'all tomorrow - until then I'll be face spritzing and crossing my fingers for a more mellow afternoon..
If you can't wait until then to get your hands on some of these goodies race over to the shop and pick some up...
xoxo, M

    Yes, please! The almost one year has decided that he doesn't like napping this week. Add in working from home and staying up all hours trying to work because I'm not getting his nap breaks = tired, stressed skin.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    Me please. I am going to need this so bad come September. This little bump is already wearing me out. Or maybe that's the soon-to-be big sister, who, despite being only 2, won't stop asking for a yellow (blond) Barbie! What jagoff told her about Barbies!?!?!
