Did you know that last month was National Vision Month? It seems like there is a national month or day for pretty much everything these days, and while I take most of them in stride with a smile, I try to make my families eye health a priority, so I was happy to receive an email from Viteyes®, a leading eye supplement company who invited me to try their supplements and share some helpful information with you today. Their supplements were made to help ease tired eyes due to screen time and blue light.

Three Simple steps to help relieve sore muscles this summer
in #AD, beauty, being active, Garden, gardening, health, hiking, sore muscles, summer, topical relief, wellness, by Linda A Kinsman, Wednesday, May 27, 2020
On Memorial Day, I celebrated another trip around the sun by spending time with my family who showered me with love and lots of goodies to plant and tend to in my garden. They know that being in nature, surrounded by flowers, herbs and lush greenery is my Zen. One of the pluses of being in my fifties is I know myself really well and I’ve come to accept that my body, while still very capable, will respond to a day in the garden with aches and pains, especially in my back and knees by nightfall. Thankfully, I’ve discovered some simple steps to relieve my sore muscles that I think will help you this summer too.
I was sharing with my daughter Melissa that I wanted to
learn how to take better flat lay photos like hers recently, when she said she
would be happy to teach me by showing me how. I’m so stoked to be working with
her because she slays flat lay photography and is on top of all things beauty
and fashion. We’ve decided to do a new blog series together called All My
Favorite Things. Welcome to the February Edition, we hope you like it.
My Favorite Things in February:
Hello and happy Friday! Today was the first half day back at school for my youngest, who is a junior in high school. Agghh! How did we get this far down the road? To celebrate this milestone, and because it’s Friday; I wanted to share a nice giveaway from my other “job” as an Avon Representative. Every month Avon hosts a giveaway for anyone to enter. Whether you are a customer or a Rep. all everyone is welcome to enter if you are 18+ and live in the United States.
Summer Romance:

Christie Brinkley Authentic Beauty Products make perfect Mother’s Day Gifts
in #AD, beauty, eyeshadow, gifts, highlighter, lipstick, makeup, Mascara, Mother's Day, by Linda A Kinsman, Wednesday, May 02, 2018
Coming of age in the 80’s like I did, it was hard not to see and want to be more like Christie Brinkley. The woman was everywhere! She graced over 200 magazine covers, most notably for fashion, beauty, and swimsuits. It comes as no surprise to me that at 63, Christie is still active in these industries. In February, Christie added prestige color cosmetics to her Authentic Beauty line and as fate would have it; I finally get to be more like Christie when I received some of her Authentic Beauty products to share with you today. I think they would make perfect Mother’s Day Gifts!
Happy Friday and happy March! If we can make it through the winter portion of this month, we will be rewarded with the lovely spring-like weather we all long for before we greet April, so let’s all celebrate today and be thankful! I’m thankful for so very many things right now- the fact that my family has not been adversely affected by the flooding rains we’ve been getting.
I’m thankful for my ability to work at home as a blogger and as an Avon Representative! That’s why today showing love to both my challenging, yet rewarding work at home jobs by sharing Avon’s The End of Winter giveaway with you. Lastly, I’m thankful for you- YES, you!

Pretty and Fresh Makeup look with Neutrogena
in #AD, #NeuYearNeuYou, beauty, fresh, look, makeup, Neutrogena, pretty, by Linda A Kinsman, Thursday, January 11, 2018
Having teen daughters is fun and challenging and oh, so rewarding. I look at them and see parts of me interspersed here and there with their own unique personalities and styles. Both daughters got their love of makeup straight from me, but Melissa must have got in that line twice! From a very early age, she has loved playing with makeup. Once we gave her permission to wear makeup, she was in heaven and quickly mastered makeup application and techniques.

Hello my friends and happy November! It is a rainy day here in middle Tennessee and all this grey has me looking for ways to cheer up my home and blog, so even though it is a little early for me, I'm going to share Avon's holiday gift guide now because it is full of happy colors and savings! I hope you enjoy looking at all the pretty and useful products Avon offers.
Normally on a Wednesday, I would be sharing a Wordless Wednesday post showcasing what I’m enjoying in my life. From felines to flowers, I’ve done a lot of WW sharing over the last seven years. Yep, My WAHM Plan is seven years old this month and instead of celebrating its longevity to the fullest- I’m going to share a part of my life most bloggers fear sharing. I’m burned out.
I’m tired, oh, so tired of all the moving parts of blogging for an income. Income is the reason for this post today my friends. I earn extra cash every week with my side hustle business Avon! Read on to learn a little history of My WAHM Plan and earning then and now.

Is your skin feeling the effects of summer heat? If you live someplace that's hot (and most all of us do now that it's August), it may be time to change up your beauty and skincare routine. During the summer, I find myself using fewer products and spending less time primping and prepping. In fact, if you were to drop by my house, you’d most likely find me running around barefaced. Letting your skin breath is the first step to a better beauty day, the second is to pick multi-tasking products that are easy to use. Burt’s Bees + Grove Collaborative make it easy to find fuss-free natural products.
Change your look and hairstyle without cutting your hair
in #AD, #Divatress, beauty, family life, FamilyLife, Hair, hairstyles, wigs, by Linda A Kinsman, Thursday, June 29, 2017
The hair we were born with can bring on a complex set of
feelings. We love it or hate it by
turns. Get 5 women or girls in a room and ask them to talk about what they like
or dislike about their hair and you’ve got a fantastic conversation starter. That conversation could last for an hour as
each takes her turn sharing a hair story. Until recently, I hadn’t considered adding
a wig to my hairstyle story, but thanks to today’s sponsor, Divatress, I’ve
learned their products make it easy to change your look and hairstyle without
cutting your hair.
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Divatress. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
It may be hard to believe, but the Smurfs will be 36 years old this September. I can remember watching the Smurfs cartoon on Saturday mornings with my nieces. While they liked Papa Smurf, it was Smurfette that my little nieces adored. Fast forward to 2017 and Smurfette is getting ready to go on an epic adventure in Sony Pictures Animation 3D movie SMURFS: The Lost Village coming to theaters April 7th.
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Review Wire Media for Sony Pictures. I received information to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
Happy Tuesday and happy spring, everyone! It’s a frosty 36°
here in middle Tennessee this morning, making me shiver and be glad none of my
flowers have started blooming yet. I may not be gardening today, but I can
still talk about flowers of the floral fragrance kind! Since yesterday was
National Fragrance Day and I’m an Avon lady, I thought it would be helpful to
share a quick tutorial on how to pick the best floral fragrance for you this
spring.

Finding a new fragrance for you or to give to someone can be
challenging! You walk into the fragrance department at your favorite shopping
spot and your senses are assaulted. Overpowering scents fill your nose, shiny
bottles in an array of colors and sizes twinkle on glass shelves and the ever-present
associate is there to spritz you with the latest scent from the current pop
star fave of the moment. Hopefully my tutorial will have you shopping for
fragrances with confidence, whether you shop at the mall or with me and Avon!
Understanding the 6
types of floral fragrances:
1. Romantic Florals are soft, delicate and feminine. These
romantic florals are characterized by lush bouquets that have sweet and powdery
notes with hints of musk or warm amber. Sound like you? Try Forever, which has
hints of pink pepper, orange blossom and sensual musk.
Source |
2. Oriental Florals have hints of spice mixed with amber and
woods, which give oriental florals an exotic allure. Sound like you? Try FarAway ‒ dreamy florals, softly spiced amber and inviting wood.

3. Fruity Florals are bursting with the scent of delicious
fruits. These scents add an everyday sweetness to your fragrance wardrobe.
Sound like you? Try Luck, a fragrance with sparkling citrus and luscious
berries wrapped in creamy white florals, rose petals and sandalwood. (Luck was also a CEW Insiders Choice Beauty
Awards Finalist!)

4. Fresh Florals are clean and crisp, reminiscent of a just-bloomed
spring garden. Sound like you? Try Haiku Kyoto Flower ‒ full of velvety violet
leaf and white peony with soft cotton musk.
Source |
5. Woody Florals add depth and warmth. They are enriched with
earthy notes of sensual woods. Sound like you? Try Candid, with sparkling
bergamot, blooming tuberose and sensual patchouli.
Source |
6. Flower Gourmand is a sweet treat. The dessert of scents,
floral gourmands have delectable notes like rich crème brûlée. Sound like you?
Try Outspoken Party by Fergie, a mix of pink peony with luscious raspberry.

Changing
your fragrances with the seasons is a fun way to add a layer of confidence to
your wardrobe. I hope that this tutorial will help you pick the best floral
fragrance for you this spring. Would you like a free sample of an Avon

Happy Friday! As I sit in my office looking out at the snow swirling around my windows, I’m reminded again of how lucky I am to have the ability to work from home when and how I choose.

that not only brings beauty to doors, but also opens them. The company that
supports 6 million Representatives worldwide. This is Avon. The company that
for more than 125 years has stood for beauty, innovation, optimism and above all for women”.
