Typically a regular moisturizing formula does the job in terms of hydrating and soothing my skin, but sometimes, especially during cold winter months and after hot summer days spent outside or at the pool, my skin can use an extra boost. Recently I had the opportunity to try Olay Regenerist Night Recovery Cream, and this is a hardcore nighttime moisturizer that you’ll most definitely want to add to your arsenal.
As the name suggests, Regenerist Night Recovery Cream is a nighttime moisturizing cream that soothes, heals, and nourishes skin, helping it to recover from the daily rigors of life. Additionally, the inclusion of amino peptides and vitamin B3 create a special formula that not only hydrates skin, but can help with reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. And the special time-release feature of Regenerist means your skin will continue to be moisturized as you sleep.
After using Regenerist for just a couple of nights, I realized what its texture reminded me of: velour, or velvet. It’s somehow matte-like yet satiny at the same time. This is the type of cream you look forward to applying on your skin, simply because it feels so good. And after using Olay Regenerist Night Recovery Cream for just a week and a half, I can’t help but notice how incredibly smooth, supple, and refreshed my skin feels, especially after first applying, and even in the mornings.
Purchase Olay Regenerist Night Recovery Cream for a suggested MSRP of $21.99 wherever other Olay products are sold. You can visit Where to Buy Olay to find retailers near you.

Most of the monthly subscription boxes you hear about contain beauty and lifestyle boxes. But for dog owners, you’ll be happy to know that there’s PawBox (psst – PawBox is available for cats, too!). PawBox is a premium dog subscription box service just for dogs and their owners. Every month you’ll receive a box of 4-5 goodies. PawBox provides a fun opportunity to try new products, without the hassle or expense of going to stores to buy full-sized options.
Leah, my five year old Pug, and I had the opportunity to review May’s PawBox. Our goodies arrived promptly on the 8th of May. Here’s what we received:
Fresh Dog Oatmeal Shampoo: an oatmeal-based shampoo that also contains coconut, echinacea, and sweet almond oil, all of which create a great moisturizing shampoo that cleans without causing skin irritation. I really enjoyed using this on Leah, as it smelled great, lathered very nicely, and did an excellent job of cleansing her fur and leaving her fresh looking and smelling.
Earth Rated PoopBags (green): I have been itching to try these instead of my usual plastic shopping bag routine (which works out fine except when I run out of bags!), so I was really happy to find this in the May PawBox. The lavender-scented bags are strong and great at absorbing odors, and they come rolled up in a cute dispenser.
Merrick Grammy’s Pot Pie Sausage: a flavored sausage that Leah devoured so quickly I didn’t have time to take a picture of her enjoying it.
Halo Spot Chews (mint & pumpkin): adorable heart-shaped chew that helps to clean teeth and freshen your dog’s breath while giving them a delicious treat to enjoy. Leah has gnawed at this a bit.
Nature Boy Amazing Dog Toy: a cute safe-for-chewing dog toy designed to look like a chocolate popsicle. Annoyance alert: it squeaks. :X
Purchase a PawBox subscription for $10/month or $110/year (get 1 box free!) at pawbox.com/subscribe.

With my 30s looming all too close (I turn 29 in exactly one month), I’ve been trying to do better by my skin for the past couple of years. During the warmer months of the year, and we’re spending more time out of doors, this means the daily application of sunscreen, in addition to my daily application of moisturizer. But thanks to Olay, I have the opportunity to apply a moisturizer plus sunscreen in one easy step. Their newest product, Olay Complete All Day Moisturizer with Sunscreen, is a moisturizer that also contains a broad spectrum SPF of 15, so it’s perfect for moisturizing and protecting my face and neck.
Olay’s Complete All Day Moisturizer with Sunscreen combines Olay signature oil-free, light moisturizing formula with a broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 15 sunscreen. The inclusion of anti-oxidants, vitamins B3, C, and E create a great moisturizing formula that absorbs easily and hydrates skin, while the sunscreen protects your skin from the sun’s damaging rays.
Complete All Day Moisturizer with Sunscreen is available for normal skin, combination/oily skin, and sensitive skin. All three versions are oil-free, paraben-free, won’t clog pores, and include UVA/UVB SPF 15 protection.
I have been using the sensitive version of Complete All Day Moisturizer, and it works really nicely. It moisturizes, soaks in quickly without leaving behind the typical sunscreen “residue”, and doesn’t irritate my skin. It has a very light formula, with Olay’s signature light scent, so in addition to leaving skin feeling moisturized and clean, it won’t clash with any other scents. This will be perfect for days spent outdoors!
Purchase Olay Complete All Day Moisturizer with Sunscreen for a suggested MSRP of $10.99 wherever other Olay products are sold. You can visit Where to Buy Olay to find retailers near you.

Cottonelle is all about providing a comfortable and convenient care routine in your bathroom. Just because using the bathroom is a required part of your day doesn’t mean it has to be uncomfortable or inconvenient. Scratchy or poor quality toilet paper or that not-so-clean feeling can throw off your entire day, and children especially can benefit from an extra helping hand when using the bathroom. The Cottonelle Care Routine consists of Cottonelle toilet paper and Cottonelle Flushable Moist Wipes. Use one or the other or combine for a super-comfortable, super-clean bathroom routine.
Cottonelle invited us to establish the Care Routine in our home, and the four of us — myself, my husband, our eight year old daughter, and our six year old son — are all happy with the results of switching to Cottonelle toilet paper and wipes:
Cottonelle Clean Care Toilet Paper: 1-ply textured toilet paper that features ripples for additional absorbency. We have only just started using the fourth roll of the double roll 4-pack (since switching to Cottonelle two weeks ago), and that’s not bad for a household of four!
Cottonelle Fresh Care Flushable Moist Wipes: a personal favorite of my son, who is autistic and has some sensory issues (and a need to be scrupulously clean – which is fine by me!), Fresh Care Flushable Moist Wipes are perfect for getting extra clean. They’re very soft, moist enough to provide a great, clean feeling, yet not so moist that they drip (which would feel gross). The handy dispensing tub makes it easy to grab one or as many wipes as you need. As the name implies, Cottonelle’s moist wipes are indeed flushable, and they’re safe for septic and sewer systems.
You can start your own Cottonelle Care Routine by choosing your type and size of Cottonelle toilet paper, and Fresh Care or Gentle Care (great for sensitive skin) Flushable Moist Wipes. Join the Cottonelle newsletter for coupons and other special offers.
