Rodan & Fields

So this might turn out to be long one but hang in there!  Have you heard of Rodan + Fields?  Well, I started using Rodan & Fields at the end of December and want to tell you all about it.

The Doctors that created Proactiv have created a skincare line for everyone.  These products have totally and completely blown me away!!!  I knew I would be ordering these products for myself forever.  So I made the decision to sell them in January.  Yup - it took me 1 month to become a believer and consultant.  Now I have never sold anything in my life and not really sure if I even make a good salesperson.  BUT I really want to share these products with my friends and family.  And these products are SO good they practically sell themselves when people try it.  And everyone can try them risk free with the Drs. 60 day empty bottle guarantee.

A little on the way my skin used to be: I had combination skin.  Which means oily forehead and dry nose and cheeks.  Redness and visible pores on both sides of my nose, blackheads on my nose and just dull and flaky skin.  I was still using Clinique wash and toner, Philosophy hope in a Jar moisturizer and Pride N Glory eye serum.  And wasn't overly thrilled with any of them.  And they all did nothing for aging and wrinkles.  So they were all a waste of money.  Kristen, a friend from college started posting pictures and talking about R + F and I was interested.  She sent me a sample and I was hooked!  And I am so happy to say Rodan and Fields has fixed all of my skin issues!!!!  I am excited to wash my face in the morning and those few minutes I spend on my skin now is considered my "me time".  And the cost?  I want to spend money on products that actually work.  My face is worth it :)  I am so thankful she introduced this company to me.

Here is what I am using:

I use the redefine regimen (pm cream only) and eye cream every day.  The eye cream is incredible for dryness, lines, wrinkles, shadows and puffiness.  I substitute the Microdermabrasion paste every other day and Use my amp roller at least 2-3 times per week with the serum.  The paste really blasts away the dullness!  And the amp MD roller is getting rid of my wrinkles.  Check this pic out!!

I hate to admit it but I only wash once a day.  I am just too exhausted at the end of each day.  I tend to fall asleep on the couch every night and the hubs wakes me up to go to bed every night.  So if I keep wipes on my bed, I give my face a quick wipe, take the contacts out and go to bed.  And my results are crazy good.  Plus this makes the regimen I use last 4 months instead of 2.  My regimen costs $144 so divided by 4 that makes it $36 a month.  Totally affordable!!!!  And if you aren't ready for a regimen seriously get the eye cream and paste.  People that buy these products come back and thank me for selling me them which is crazy in a good way.   Message me or email me to get started today. klichtenthal@verizon.net or check out my website www.kdipalma.myrandf.com  Or let's talk on the phone.  716-310-4267

Skiing and swimsuits

Winter is starting to drag around the B-lo lately.  And screw that little Groundhog, we need a break. My parents have been teaching Brady to ski and he is doing SO well!!  The hubs and I headed to Holiday Valley on Sunday to see our big boy and hit the slopes.

We may have shredded some sketchy pow!!  Sorry I had to.  Pics below.

Someone clearly likes Fireball a little too much!

And then what better way to beat the winter blues than by buying a bathing suit?  I liked wearing my mono-kini so much at the water park why not have another "mom suit".  This wonderful one piece reminds me of the 80's so of course I need it.  Ordered!  And the way little P keeps asking to go back and see the wolf - I can't rule out going again if we get a good deal :)

And my brother-in-law makes all kinds of stuff out of wood.  So naturally, I found these and I want them asap.  Not sure if he's up for this challenge.  I want to grow jalapenos, tomatoes and peppers. This would be perfect on our patio.

Hurry up Spring!!  Or at least April 26th for our vacation.

Great Wolf Wrap-up

Another year and another fun time was had by all!  Brady was tall enough to go on a bunch more water slides this year and was actually swimming in the lazy river, he loved the current pushing him along.

God I love this picture!!  Brady is our "worrier" but in this pic no worries. Just pure happiness.

Little P enjoyed all his time with Daddy, those 2 have a special bond.

I got a family fireplace loft suite because my parents came to help.

 It was perfect because it felt like we had 2 different rooms.  We took the upstairs and had our own bathroom, tv and queen bed.  Brady wanted to sleep on the pull out and had his own tv and fireplace.  Not going to lie, it broke my heart he didn't want to sleep with us.  He is getting so big, reminds me that someday all three kids will be in their bunk beds and hubs and I will have a queen bed all to ourselves.  My sister and brother-in-law came too so there were plenty of people to watch the kids.  Meatball and I got to go on some water slides too!

Dinner at Hooter's.  What can I say: the boys loved the owls and the hubs likes the chicken wings.  And Good Lawd my dad and Steve doing fireball shots!!!

Reid stayed home with papa for the last time.  Next year we will all be together and then God help us watching all these boys by the water And packing!  This year I had to bring a suitcase for 1 night.  :)

And then did you have a moment where you remember a memory and just get the biggest smile on your face?  Well that happened when I opened up my smaller purple suitcase to pack and found a pink pandora ribbon.  I remembered the last time I packed this suitcase was when I was going to the hospital to have Reid.

Hubs got me an "R" charm and the ribbon got left behind.  And now my baby is 17 months old.
Crazy how time flies!
