Colgate House Party and Lunch with Friends

by Karen Mendes | Brand Ambassador, General | 0 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Colgate but my opinions are 100% my own! As a Colgate Healthy Living Ambassador, I was given the opportunity to host an in-house party with some friends and share with them some of the great products that Colgate has to offer. We are a Colgate family and use this brand 90% of the time. I've used Colgate since I was a kid and I've always been happy with the results that we get. Of course if I could get my kids to brush their teeth as often as they are supposed to, then they'd work even better. It's a struggle that I am slowly winning! Colgate makes products for the entire family. They have toothbrushes that are the perfect size for little mouths along with...

Avocado Chicken Salad Using Good Cook Tools #‎goodcookkitchenexprt #goodcookcom

by Karen Mendes | Brand Ambassador, Product Review, Recipes | 16 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Good Cook but my opinions are 100% my own! As part of the Good Cook Kitchen Expert program, they send me tools to use and create recipes with. These tools are supposed to help cut down on the time to make the recipe so I can be in and out of the kitchen quicker. Since I'm not a big cook, I like that idea! This month they sent me a really cool Avocado Slicer which I'm super excited to have because I love avocado's but don't always enjoy cutting them! They are a bit messy if they are ripe enough so this tool I knew would come in very handy this summer. One thing I've come to really enjoy with my Avocado's is chicken and turkey so I decided to make up some...

Colgate Kids Smile for Picture Day Giveaway (ends 8/26)

by Karen Mendes | Brand Ambassador, Giveaways, Product Review | 0 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Colgate but my opinions are 100% my own! Part of the Back To School excitement is picture day. I love picture day and so do my girls! But at the same time I'm nervous because I never know what we'll get since both of them are known for not smiling, or smiling funny. My oldest daughter had this really weird look on her face for her Kindergarten picture. Her eyes were open wide as if she was trying to smile but tried too hard. I laughed so hard when I saw it! But as a mother I learned pretty quickly that you never know what you'll get from kids! Beginning September 2013, Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures® will launch Smile for Picture Day™ – a new...
