Suave: Affordably Priced Beauty (w. giveaway!)

December 16, 2009 By Leticia

One of my pet peeves is dry skin. With the cold dry winter air and obsessive-compulsive hand washing that comes from trying to rid myself of the many germs that live on the computer keyboards at my school, my hands are a mess! They are in desperate need of that manicure I recommended in last week’s Teacher Gift Guide but will have to wait.

In the meantime, I’m slathering on the lotion. Thick lotion lives on my bedside table to restore my hands overnight while my go-to lotion at school is the new Suave Advanced Therapy Lotion. My bottle of Advanced Therapy Lotion sits right next to my computer. The thick formula provides instant relief for my dry hands and cuticles and is used constantly. I love that the huge 18 ounce bottle is only $4.49 especially since I’m using it each time after I wash or use hand sanitizer. Because Suave is affordably priced means that I can apply it all day long without feeling like I have to ration it. Gone are the days of me being the lotion miser and not sharing with my colleagues whose hands are suffering as much as mine!

For the past 70 years, Suave has been a firm believer in the fact that quality doesn’t have to be expensive. Their products are made of high quality ingredients that are affordably priced. Suave believes that customers shouldn’t be subjected to overpriced beauty products.
While I was at Blogalicious I was treated to an assortment of delicious smelling lotions that were brought home much to Little Miss Techie’s delight. While my favorite may be the Advanced Therapy Lotion, she loves the Lavender Vanilla and applies it each night to combat dry itchy skin. I’m also partial to Juicy Tangerine while Captain Computer likes the Cocoa Butter for its subtle chocolate scent.

Besides the lotions, Suave has affordably priced body washes, shampoo, conditioner, and a line of products like shampoo, body wash, and detangling products! We were already fans of the Dragonfruit 2 in 1 Shampoo that not only detangles but is tear free!

Suave has offered a wonderful assortment of products for one lucky Tech Savvy Mama reader.

One winner will get a prize pack from Suave containing Apricot Exfoliating Body Wash, Cocoa Butter Body Wash, Lavender Vanilla Body Wash, Advanced Therapy Lotion, Juicy Tangerine Lotion, and Sandalwood and Cinnamon Lotion to keep you smelling good and well moisturized this holiday season and well beyond! Keep them for yourself or tuck them into stockings for your loved ones to find on Christmas morning!

    I’d like to try the Suave Clinical Protection deodorant. I’ve used other brands of the “clinical” deodorants, but they’re so expensive. I didn’t know Suave made a version; I’ll look for it next time I’m out shopping!

Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day because we’re so glad Goldie and Murphy are part of our family! 🐶 We gave Goldie her forever home when she was 6 months old. She had been given up by her original family because she was just too much for them. She was an enthusiastic pup who loved to jump straight up in the air when she got excited and she used to hop the fence in the mornings to go visit her best dog friend, Katy, over our back fence. She still jumps from standing when she sees a deer, meets a favorite dog friend, or gets a visit from @lisatasch but now at age 5, she’s more calm and forever faithful. 🦮We met Murphy and his 9 brothers and sisters just days after he was born although we didn’t know he would be the puppy we’d claim as ours. Murphy has that puppy energy but in his quiet moments is a total love bug. He hogs the free space in our king bed (he even has his own pillow!) and loves nothing more than to press his body into me or lie directly on me. 🐾 Goldie and Murphy came to us through @labrescuelrcp and we couldn’t be happier that they’re part of our family! ❤️ #rescuedogday #labrescue #labrador #adoptdontshop
After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hos After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, I’m leaving Memphis so very grateful to be able to support St. Jude’s mission of working to end childhood cancer. ❤️ Spending time connecting, brainstorming, and absorbing the wisdom of fellow Hero Ambassadors from around the country was inspiring because the work we do fundraising through our endurance events helps St. Jude do the incredible work they do to ensure families never receive a bill for their child’s treatment, housing, travel, or food and continue important research that will continue to reduce rates of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases. I am so looking forward to running in Memphis again this December! 🎉 If you’ve ever thought of running a race that does so much good in the world, join me! I’d love to have you come to Memphis and run with me! Or you can always donate through the fundraising link in my bio. ❤️ #stjude #stjudeheroes #memphis #stjudedmv

As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the me As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the mental health challenges our youth face and am really pleased to share that over the weekend I became certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing! 🎉 I’ve always worked to build relationships with the young people in my life- whether my kids’ friends or students- and this certification has made me more mindful of the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges so I can have important and supportive conversations when symptoms first start to appear. 🗣️A big component of the training also included developing a self-care plan which is critical when supporting others. 💕 I’m so grateful to have taken this certification for free through the University of Maryland whose blended learning format (2 hours of self paced online work + 5 hour instructor led class over Zoom) was fantastic! 💻 The teacher in me really applauds the course design and I’m glad to join the 3 million+ in the U.S. certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. 🏥 If this is something you’re interested in doing, University of Maryland has free courses on Saturdays or Sundays from 10-4pm between June-October. Swipe ⬅️ for more information, including a QR code with more information and a survey to take as part of the sign up process. And if you have any questions- leave a comment or DM me. I’m happy to help you get certified too! ❤️ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthfirstaid #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
