Jessica Ignite Colour Collection

Currently obsessing over Jessica nail polish. Pictured is me wearing Electric Teal from the Ignite Colour Collection. One coat of clear over two coats of this color made it super shiny. I remember thinking 'WOW' while driving and watching the sunlight reflect off my nails. These colors are hot for hands and toes this Summer.

The Gift of Time for Father's Day

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Victorinox Swiss Army. All opinions are 100% mine.

It seems like watches are a dying breed. I use my phone to tell the time, but that doesn't make for a good accessory. Wrist watches are timeless, you never have to worry about them going out of style, and make the perfect gift for Father's Day. My husband bought all of his groomsmen a watch for standing up in our wedding. To me, this was a classic gift, one they could use (and they do!) and would never go out of style.If you're looking for a timeless, fashionable gift for dad for grandpa this Father's Day, a watch is the perfect gift that keeps giving every time it is worn. A watch like the Victorinox Swiss Army Chrono Classic Guilloche (pictured) is built to last with a bold design. This is the type of watch my dad could wear to work, and then transfer to night time. Check out the huge selection of luxury watches that Victorinox has to offer on their site, ranging in styles, for men and women, and a wide variety of price points.

Make sure to check out the Victorinox Swiss Army Facebook page and participate in the Facebook IWAW sweepstakes page. Over 30 days they're giving 30 lucky winners a Victorinox Swiss Army timepiece. Don't hesitate, go sign up now!

Giveaway Break - ecoTOOLS Makeup Bags

Ever since the movie Clueless, I've been a fan of Alicia Silverstone. She hasn't done too many big roles since, but she was just perfect in that movie. More recently, she's been very active promoting her Vegan cookbook and teaming up with ecoTOOLS as an environmental activist, to product a brand new cosmetic bag collection, ecoTOOLS by Alicia Silverstone.

This line launched in December 2009 at Walmart and Target stores. The line includes a compelte set of five cosmetic bags, ranging from a brush bag with a brush set to an overnight bag. Each bag is produced with a natural hemp material and uses a recycled PET lining.

I've been using the Overnight bag religiously for travel. The inner pockets are plastic and easy to wipe clean in case of spills, and you can remove them too! It zips up fairly flat and it's easy to fit in front pockets of suitcases.

Vichy Mineral Balm

You know that feeling of your skin being so super tight and dry after you wash your face at night? It's the worst! Vichy Aqualia Thermal Mineral Balm & Rehydrating and Repairing Care cured this problem for me.

I love this balm. I'm always skeptical to try new facial products because of my sensitive skin but not only is this non-comedogenic, but it's dermatologist recommended and tested on sensitive skin.

I was first really excited that this product had 'Aqua' in the name - I need water! I'm such a dehydrated person and it definitely shows in my dry skin. After the first use I could immediately tell a difference. I actually look forward to using this on my face after I wash my face at night. At first it goes on a little greasy, but absorbs really quickly. I sometimes wear it under my foundation in the morning, but now that I'm out in the sun more I usually use something with SPF and use the balm at night.

It contains Vichy Thermal Spa Water, which is rich with 50 mg of minerals and fragrance and colorant-free. It also contains:
Calcium
Postassium
Silicium (regenerating)
Magnesium
Iron,
Omega 6 oils

This is a pretty popular brand in Europe, but you can find in CVS stores around the states.
