Talkative Tuesday: Blog update, Announcement & Poll!

Hey beauties! Prepare for a bit of CONSTRUCTIVE rambling ;)  ...

What's New?
I've been revising my blog schedule lately to better fit my blog needs. I tried posting only one review a week, while posting at least 3 other different types of post a week. Since I've started using an editorial calender to keep track of my upcoming posts, I realized I have enough posts to last me until October. Except I don't want that because that will only push my future new-product reviews farther and farther.

I just have too many products constantly coming on plate that I want to review to say I only post one review a week. I haul at least 2x a month with a lot of products and I don't even review all of them. I'll now start posting 2 reviews a week if need be. I know I don't always find the time to post a DIY or makeup tutorial so on those days when I don't post a tutorial, which are Wednesdays, I'll be posting skincare and body product reviews. You can view my current blog schedule here.

I've been getting contacted by a few brands and companies that would like me to post sponsored posts. I want to and will post more sponsored posts with my 100% honest reviews. I'd rather lose a sponsorship with a brand than to lose my readers' trust. I'm in the process of writing a more personalized disclaimer. You can view my disclaimer here.

What's Coming Up?
A giveaway is coming up! I'm still working out the details and products but it's going to be a blogiversary/birthday giveaway. My blogiversary is on July 18th but the sucky part is that I'll be away for Army training for TWO whole weeks starting July 19th!  Don't fret, I'll be scheduling posts to be automatically posted during my absence, I will just be responding to comments later than usual. I wanted to post it the day of my blogiversary but I won't have all of the items here in time for that date. So I'll be posting the giveaway on my birthday!

Aug 19th, save the date! That's right your amazing blogger friend will be 20! So it'll be like we're celebrating my birthday together. *throws confetti*

As per each Talkative Tuesday post, I'll be throwing in a poll or two just so I can get feedback and improve my blog. Today's poll will help me decide on what products to choose for my giveaway. I hope that you'll participate in each poll <3

Perlier Lemon Crackling Body Water Review + Demo

Hey beauties! Here in Louisiana it's roughly 95 degrees everyday and the humidity is crazy, which it makes it feel 10 degrees hotter! Whether it's a new cold drink recipe or cooling product, I'm always on the lookout for something new for the summer heat.  

Beat the Heat!

I was recently sent this really cool, literally cool, product from Perlier, the

Lemon Sorbet Crackling Body Water. If rejuvenation came in Lemon form, it'd be this body water. I'm not a fan of Lemon scents, but this scent isn't overpowering. The scent is a very light airy-lemon smell.

When life gives you lemons, spray them on your skin!

Spray the body water on your skin and instantly feel cooler. Rub it across your skin and watch it crackle! You can refrigerate it as well to add to the cooling effect. Once I sprayed it on my skin there were no after effects and the only thing different was the cooling effect it left. I tested the product on 3 other people and there were no bad skin reactions.

Basically...

You'd expect a loud-smelling, sticky, residue-leaving product but that's not the case with this product. This wasn't the type of product I thought I'd like but I actually really liked it! I wouldn't use it all the time but for a trip involving the outdoors, I'd just have to take it along.
