Fall is finally right around the corner.  I know everyone is trying to rush 2020 outta here.  I really hope we can all enjoy the fall season and the holidays that bring joy and happiness this time of year as well.  Being locked up indoors has everyone struggling to look and feel their best these days.  Oh what I wouldn’t give for an actual pedicure!!!  I don’t think I’ve had one since February, but thank goodness it’s almost boot season, then perhaps I don’t care as much.  It’s more about feeling better about myself.  Even if I am just at home in my jammies.

I recently got the opportunity to try some fun new items with BabbleBoxx that lifted my spirits and helped me look and feel better.  This box was filled with items that were used to pamper and treat myself to a fun makeover.  I’d love to share my experience with you and some awesome discount codes too!

The first item was a Custom Hair Dye from e-Salon.  I’ve actually used e-Salon hair color a few times now and really love it.  E-Salon mixed my very own custom color according to what I’m looking for.  It’s made-to-order, custom hair color individually crafted by a colorist to achieve your ultimate color goal.  The first couple of times I wanted to tweak my hair color a bit, so in the notes on my next shipment I included which direction I wanted to go.  I prefer an ash blonde color instead of a more golden tone.  Eventually we found something that works for me.  If you are a Blondie like me I highly recommend the Blonde Neutralizer Tint Rinse.  It gets rid of unwanted yellow and brassy tones and it makes a world of difference for blonde hair. The kit includes:

Your personal colorist will factor in your color goals and you can even submit photos of your current hair color and what you would like it to look like.  It helps your stylist get a better idea of what you are looking for.  Your personal colorist can formulate a shade down to the exact combination of depth and tone that lets you be you.  Made-to-order, and never mass produced, our custom color creates less waste. Making it sustainable and better for the environment.

Here is my BEFORE + AFTER my hair color makeover:

I used to read like 10 books a month before Heidi was born.  I still read these days, but not near as much as I used to.  I’ve always been an avid reader and when I find a good book it’s hard to tear myself away.  There’s no greater escape than a good book!  A Fool’s Paradise from Robyn Williams lures readers into an intriguing world of lifelike imagery and memorable, colorful characters. A Fool’s Paradise is robust with suspense, romance, tragedy, humor and elements of the supernatural intricately woven into a series of well-conceived plot twists guaranteed to leave readers spellbound.

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
A Fool’s Paradise reveals the story of Dr. Aaryn Jamison, one of the nation’s most prominent African American physicians. She is brilliant, successful and has a penchant for mountain climbing. Gifted with healing hands, she is more comfortable in the healing realm of the supernatural than she is in a glittering world of lustful, intimacy starved, celebrity-driven fortune seekers.  Enter Jayson Denali, internationally acclaimed  Academy award-winning actor. The handsome, charismatic superstar rose from meager beginnings to become king among Hollywood’s elite.  Passions simmer and fate plunges these two down a startling road of self-discovery fraught with meddling parents, scheming ex-lovers, jealous co-stars and an ever watchful, over-protective entourage.  Savor the richness, enchantment, and emotionally infused chemistry of genuine relationships of the heart.  Robyn Williams’ A Fool’s Paradise melds passion, suspense and the supernatural as Dr. Aaryn Jamison, one of the nation’s most prominent African American physicians, meets Jayson Denali, internationally acclaimed Academy award-winning actor. The characters’ stories of growing up poor, becoming self-aware survivors, trusting in mentors along the way and then strangely falling for them are so relatable, one becomes an unwitting passenger on the tumultuous journey borne between this book’s two covers.
I’ve read the first few chapters so far and I can’t wait to dig into it some more.  It’s looking like a pretty good read so far!   Also, Hollywood insiders take note: There’s a really good film on the horizon here.
You can purchase the e-book for $4.49 HERE.

I’m loving this Hand Sanitizer from Born Basic.  Born Basic was “born” from the desire to accomplish a very basic goal: making an everyday product readily available for the everyday person. Company spokesperson states, “There are no gimmicks and flashy packaging to distract from what the product is. Our messaging is very straightforward and basic so the customer knows exactly what they are getting.”
This hand sanitizer glides on easily and does not leave a sticky residue or have a strong alcohol smell. (The smell is actually really really nice!)  The updated re-launch of Born Basic made sure to include an alcohol content of 62% as well as moisture preserving agents to give the best feel and consumer experience. There is no strong alcohol smell and the packaging is fun, clean, and basic, as well as the product is easy to use!
Born Basic Hand sanitizer is 62% instead of 70% alcohol or 65% alcohol – which is more moisturizing with less alcohol content but still effectively kills germs per FDA guidelines.

I found a whole bunch at my local Super Target last weekend.  The price point is very affordable – 33 ounce at $5.99, 16.9 ounce at $3.99, 3 ounce at $1.99.  It comes in 3 sizes.
Born Basic is a US company & family owned which I love!  You can find it exclusively at Target stores or on their website HERE.
And last, but not least are a couple of fab products from Kerasal.  Kerasal is a leading brand in footcare for tough to tackle foot problems. Whether you are looking to for an at home pedicure solution for dry, cracked feet or looking to tackle tough toenail problems, Kerasal has you covered.  Did I mention before that my last pedicure was in February???

A) Kerasal Intensive Foot Repair: This is an exfoliating moisturizer that is clinically proven to hydrate/moisturize dry feet while exfoliating away dead skin.
