Thinning Hair? Don’t Just “Accept” It. Fight Back With Viviscal @Viviscal_US #sponsored

“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Viviscal. I received product samples and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.”

Viviscal

Why is the discussion of thinning hair still so taboo? We women discuss our beauty woes all the time. From our weight to our unwanted hair growth and from our eyebrow shaping to our acrylic nails, we women discuss our beauty rituals like we would the grocery list. For the most part, women are really open about their beauty routines, especially with each other. But men – now that is another story completely.

My Favorite Amusement Park #RockYourBlog

Amusement Parks ~

Water scooters, Palisades Amusement Park, N. J. amusement parks

Though I am no amusement park expert by any stretch of the imagination, I have been to a few amusement parks in my day. From Kings Dominion in Virginia, to Carowinds in North Carolina {and South Carolina – the park stretches into both states}, I have been to pretty much every park in between. I even still vaguely recall going to Lakeside in Roanoke, Va. I think it flooded when I was a small child and perhaps they closed the park down after that as I do not recall ever going back when I was able to form solid memories that would last. :(
