In Shower Body Lotion/ Wet Skin Lotion

 
Saving time getting ready and saving money is always a must, so companies spend a great amount of time and money trying to save us time and money.
Ironic huh?
 
Well I purchased two products that help with that and moisturize my skin. Two birds one stone kinda thing. Mainly because the commercials make it seem so easy!  Just shower, moisturize and done!
 
In all truth I went to my local big box store to purchase the Nivea one because that's the only commercial I had viewed at that point but upon arriving with my very chatty preteen I had completely forgotten which one I was looking for and purchased the Jergens.
 
Once home my preteen informed me that I had indeed purchased the wrong one, so I said oh well and started using it.  Later in the week I was at my Pharmacy and picked up the Nivea.
 
Before I give my opinion I must state that I have oily skin, but my legs and arms are often dry. I do not like lotion due to the "oily" or greasy feeling that I get when using it. I almost always only use lotion right before bed so I can sleep while its working and I don't have to feel the oiliness of it.
 
Nivea In Shower Body Lotion
Price:  Less than 6.00
How to Use Product: Shower as normal, apply product, then wash off
Warnings : Can leave residue on bottom of tub/shower so a fall risk is possible. Bottle states to wash off bottom of tub after use.
Sticky or Oily Feeling?: YES!!! Oily feeling for sure! I didn't like the way it felt at all.
Final Review:  While my skin felt more moisturized with this product and lasted much longer than the Jergens I don't like the fall risk or oily feeling.  Its a personal thing for me, so this is a product I wouldn't buy again.  I actually gave it to my preteen to use.
 
Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer
Price:  Less than 5.00
How to Use Product: Shower as normal, while still wet apply lotion and towel off
Warnings : Since this product can be used outside of the shower/tub the risk is small
Sticky or Oily Feeling?: NO!
Final Review: While my skin was moisturized, the product did not last as long as Nivea.  Though that's a let down there is no oily feeling, no slip risk its a product I will buy again and use every day. I really like this product
 
So the winner? Jergens!
 
 
I was not paid, asked or solicited to review these products. Its something someone asked me personally and since I felt so passionate about my response I decided to do a blog post.  
 
 
 
 
 
06/15/2016 Update
Its summer time where I live and we have the most awful amount of humidity!
That being said I still stand by my earlier choice of Jergens WetSkin as the best of the two. While Nivea did last longer, in this humid summer heat...it feels horrible on my skin. Jergens goes on and no after feel.
Also I have to say...that Nivea might be great for the winter time dryness,due to it lasting longer. Since I dislike a lot about the product it will be my last resort (personal opinion), for others it may be perfect.
 
6 Months later and my winner is still Jergens.

Thank you

I have been lazy over the past two years in my blogging, had a rough pregnancy and now a 10 month old. So needless to say I have had my hands full.

My blog normally gets 30 views a month, and I rarely check the stats on this...I just get on blog and get off.

Today for some reason I went to look for a specific post to edit it, upon that I noticed one of my post had 911 views! Its only been up for 10 days!! Then I got to my stats and it says I had 1,298 views in the last 30 days. WOW!!

So thank you for coming, stopping by checking out my stuff. It means a lot to know that someone some ware is reading, doing a bible study or cooking something I posted.

Thanks,
CG

Every request has been approved, I have deleted and readded (is that a real word?) the documents. They should open with no issues, if not ask permission to view and ill send it to you. Sorry! (or comment how to fix it, I am all ears!
********

I realize its December 2nd and this should have been started on Monday. I am fashionable late I guess.
 
Sorry teething baby, busy days at work and it slipped my mind to post this.
 
Below is an Christmas Bible Study, its not to late to catch up!
 
Love God Greatly is a great place to find free bible studies, help and guidance.
 
This is the bible study they did in 2014 for Christmas, so the dates & days of the week are off, but they best thing about Gods word is it never changes.  Like God its the same every day!
 
This bible study comes with a great daily guide and reading plan.
 
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did
 
Road to Christmas Study Guide can be downloaded HERE

Prayers for Momma's

Life is hard and being a mom is harder. There are days when we have it all together and things are going right but more often than we like to admit our days go the opposite way.  The kids are crying, dishwasher don't want to work, and we are lucky to brush our teeth (a shower just isn't in the cards on these days)

Being a mom again at the age of 32 has taught me ALOT.  First: I know why people say have your babies in your 20's, you are more of a spring chicken and you can handle the sleepless nights better. Second: I have more patience than I did at 20 when I had my first baby (yes I put 12yrs in between my kids)

I have been the mom on the porch crying out to God for help because I have had no sleep, the babies teething and everyone wants something from me.  I am have been in the trenches and fought the fight mommas! I have been there and done that and come out to the other side! There is hope! These days will not last forever and you WILL miss them.   God is how I survived a difficult pregnancy and a baby who cries all the time!

God will help, deliver and see you through! You only need to call out to him!  If you have read my previous post you know I have a War Room board on Pinterest (you can see that here )

So below are some of the prayers I pulled from my War Room, print them, save them and use them when your day seems to be less than you planned. You are not alone! 

Stay strong mommas, this stage will only last a little while and then they will be on their own.  Blink and you will miss it, you will miss all of it. Even the late nights, teething, crying, bottle washing, puking, formula stains...you will miss every moment you have shared with your kids.

Praying for you all.
