The Paper Mama Photo Challenge: SMILE

I'm entering "The Paper Mama Photo Challenge" for the first time! I have been wanting to enter for a long time. I don't know why it's taken me so long. I'm always nervous entering contests that require more than just filling out a form. Plus this involves my child so it's a little bit more personal. But I thought this pic of my daughter was perfect for this particular photo challenge. So I'm finally entering. Smiling is one thing she does best. :)

BzzCampaign: Covergirl & Olay

Skincare and foundation. Something I use on a daily basis. I was happy to have been chosen for this COVERGIRL & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation and COVERGIRL & Olay Pressed Powder campaign. They provide coverage for ageless, radiant looking skin, just in time for the peak of summer. COVERGIRL & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation is no ordinary make-up. Thanks to COVERGIRL & Olay, it smoothes the appearance of rough surfaces and gives your skin a radiant finish. COVERGIRL & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation also contains known skin conditioning ingredients to hydrate your skin and help improve skin tone over time. Neat, huh? You can't turn back the clock on aging, but you can reduce the signs. Just one pump of new COVERGIRL & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation helps instantly cover discolorations, fine lines and wrinkles. And finishing your look with a soft layer of COVERGIRL & Olay Pressed Powder will help brighten your skin tone.

Here's some fun facts about COVERGIRL & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation and COVERGIRL & Olay Pressed Powder:
-One pump instantly covers discolorations, lines and wrinkles while one bottle hydrates to help improve skin tone over time
-Clinically shown to help reduce the appearance of discolorations over time by hydrating the skin
-Available at all major retailers, with a suggested retail price of $13.99 -Online at covergirl.com — visit the site to get shade matched, discover tips and looks, and learn more

The secret to completing the perfect look, using COVERGIRL & Olay Pressed Powder are:
