From beauty to style, stirring up everything that chic brown girls love!
Recently, I had the opportunity to write for ESSENCE.com’s mom blog (Chic Busy Mom) to share some of my tips on family travel.
It was an honor to lend my “expertise” to such a beloved outlet such as ESSENCE. Please check my must-have travel-friendly products here!
It’s no secret that men typically don’t know as much about quality skincare products as we women do. That’s why it’s our job to keep them informed.
What better time than Father’s Day to introduce them to Aveeno’s brand new Active Naturals Men’s Collection? Specially formulated with super soothing colloidal oats, the line consists of a moisturizing Face Wash, Shave Gel and After-Shave Lotion.
My husband tried it a couple of weeks ago and was impressed with how smooth and hydrated the trio left his skin. Plus, unlike most shaving creams, this gel is fragrance free!
So grab a nice basket or masculine case, head to your local drugstore and give dad the gift of grooming this Sunday!
Aveeno Active Naturals Men’s Face Wash available here, $5.99
Aveeno Active Naturals Men’s Shave Gel available here, $3.99
Aveeno Active Naturals Men’s After Shave Lotion available here, $5.99
What are you giving dad this Father’s Day?
Between press events, writing, traveling and taking care of Ava, I’ve been a busy BG this month. That’s why unwinding is so important to me.
As soon as I get home, removing my makeup is my main priority. I simply can’t function if my “face” is still on once I’m home for the night. I’ve been using Aveeno’s Ultra-Calming Makeup Removing Wipes for a few months and they dissolve oil, dirt and other gunk from the skin with a few gentle swipes. Since I’m a lover of eye liner and water-proof mascara, a wimpy wipe just won’t cut it and these don’t disappoint! An added bonus is that unlike many removers, these wipes don’t have that unpleasant chemical smell.

Before bed, I take a relaxing shower to ease away the stress of the day. Aveeno has a Positively Nourishing Calming Body Wash that smells wonderful and has a cleansing effect that doesn’t dry out skin. The delightful scent of lavender and chamomile is truly a treat for the senses. I finish up with their ultra-soothing Positively Nourishing Calming Body Lotion to seal in moisture. It sinks in quickly leaving behind smooth, glistening non-greasy skin.

The quality of Aveeno products is outstanding! Even though I’m an ambassador of the brand, I used their products long before I was approached to partner with the company.
It’s been my mom’s fave for as long as I can remember and will probably remain at the top of my list for years to come too!
Do you use Aveeno products? Do you need to unwind? One lucky winner will win each of these products to create a spa-like experience home. Simply leave a comment, Tweet, or Instagram a pic holding your fave Aveeno product with the hashtag #BGGAveeno and the winner will be selected and announced next Wednesday on Halloween!
As many of my loyal readers know, I’ve always been a huge fan of Aveeno products. Not only do I use it for myself, but I also use their baby line of products on Ava too. So you guys can only imagine how ecstatic I was to learn that I had been chosen to be a beauty ambassador for the brand!
That means now I’ll be able to try all of their new products and share them with you lovely ladies. You know when I endorse a product, I always want you guys to try it too! So stay tuned for reviews and giveaways from the popular brand trusted most by dermatologists and BGG! 😉
