Nothing says Pink Like the Victorian Era!

Pretty Opinionated (another blogger) and I are having a Pinterest Throwdown to determine which is better, PINK (duh) or Black?  Pretty Opinionated is taking the side of Black, and you can visit her post Black Rocks to see what she has to show for her side of the argument.   Once you have looked at both of our posts and maybe “Pinned” a few over on Pinterest, take the mini-survey at the bottom of both of our posts.  REMEMBER, in your heart of hearts, you know BLACK IS EVIL and PINK IS BETTER!!    Game on Pretty Opinionated!!

Look Gorgeous!  Get Your Revenge!

Blog Note: The $52 Skin Authority Giveaway is part of the Lots of Love Giveaway Event, hosted by Taking Time For Mommy, And The Little Ones Too, Put A Little Umbrella In Your Drink, And Seeds of Life .  All Giveaways are over $25 so be sure to find the linky at the end of this post to keep on hopping!

..

Skin Care by Skin Authority that will make you DROP DEAD gorgeous!

What’s in the Skin Authority Sweet Revenge Kit to create all that Jealousy?

  The Chief Blonde Remarks:  You know I adore the Skin Authority Line.  So much so that you will rarely (if ever) see any other Skin Care featured on this blog.  I tried it, I was sold.  You can see all my other reviews here ( ) .  The Sweet Revenge kit contains 3 of my favorite Skin Authority Items which I use DAILY!!  (the cleanser, the hydrator, and the resurfacing accelerator).   I use mineral make-up so the Skin Authority Daily Cleanser really gets the make-up  off of my skin, whereas water or soap/water will not, but the Daily Cleanser is  gentle so I don’t end up looking like a prune.  I use the Skin Authority Tri-Power Peptide Hydrator each day before applying my makeup (if I remember).  I like to use it under my makeup to keep a “Dewy” look.   Probably,  my favorite Skin Authority product is the Resurfacing Accelerator.  I am a Women over 45 and menopausal.  This product helps me with all those lines and wrinkles and keeps my skin looking bright…it stings a bit when you first begin to use it..but that means its working.  I found this product really helped with my rosacea–a condition where skin takes on a red tone and often acne-like break outs occur.  I adore Skin Authority and would encourage any of you who are seeking a skin care regime to give the Skin Authority Sweet Revenge a try…it’s a deal too because they products separately would run you $68!

Can’t Wait to Win It?

One Winner will take home a $52 Skin Authority GO! Gorgeous Sweet Revenge Skin Care Kit

THINK ITS JUST THE FLU?  Are you SURE?

Infant Meningitis can Look like the FLU

Meningitis in Infants (also called Meningococcal disease) can come on suddenly and a healthy child who catches meningitis can be dead in 24-48 hours.  Many mistake meningitis for the flu because it mimics flu symptoms.  The risk of meningitis death is much higher (three to seven times) in infants younger than one year of age because their immune systems are less sophisticated. It is possible to prevent Infant Meningitis via vaccines but the vaccine is not universally recommended as of yet.

INFANT MENINGITIS:  DID YOU KNOW?

• Meningitis in infants is highly preventable with a vaccine.
• 1/16 children who contract Meningitis will die from it
• Children are currently immunized for mumps, measles, rubella and rotovirus–but more children die from meningitis than any of these diseases.
• Of the infants who survive meningitis, many will have paralysis, limb amputations, strokes, seizures, severe scarring, hearing loss, brain and organ damage, and more.

WHAT CAN BE DONE to prevent Infant Menigitis?

Sign the Petition to Protect Infants Now (PIN) to encourage the CDC to include the Meningitis Vaccine in their recommended list of vaccines for infants.

Watch this meaningful video so you are clear on the message to Protect Infants now.  A mother who lost her child to Meningococcal Disease shares her story:

Blog Note: WE participated in this Meningitis campaign on behalf of Mom Central & Meningitis Angels. This Meningitis campaign is made possible, partially through the support provided by Novartis Vaccines.  As well, a small donation to the  charity of my choosing was made via my name by Mom Central to thank me for my participation. As usual, all the opinions for this posting are one hundred percent my own.
