How I Am Treating My Hereditary Hair Loss With Women's ROGAINE® Foam #rogainetruevolume #gotitfree

Sadly, at my age nobody is going to mistake me for Rapunzel. Back in the day- way, way back before I hit my 30's, I had long, uber thick hair. I remember getting frustrated that I couldn't even wrap a pony tail holder around my hair more than twice. Now, I'd give anything to be that frustrated with my hair again! Unfortunately, I'm one of the many women who are experiencing hereditary hair loss. Did you know that 1 in 3 women notice hair thinning in her lifetime? I had no idea it was that many! Female Pattern Hair Loss can start between puberty and the 20's with a second peak in the early 40's. I may be a little different because I really noticed an upswing in loss of strands once I hit my 30's, and it's all been going downhill from there. Most people lose between 50 - 100 hairs a day, which is normal hair loss. A consistent loss of 150 hairs a day is considered significant hair loss. If you are one of the 1 in 3 women who are noticing significant hair loss, don't panic! There are some tips and tricks to help achieve a fuller, thicker look.

There are 4 main signs of aging hair: loss of pigment, decrease in moisture and oil production, changes in texture and inactive follicles resulting in thinning and loss of density. I personally curl or wave my hair every day to give my hair a fuller appearance. Creating texture and volume is the key to hair that appears fuller. Cut and color are also wonderful tools to create dimension, enhance the hair you have and give a fuller appearance. Since hair changes in color and texture as we age, work with your stylist to create the best look for you. Also, I'm excited to be using Women's ROGAINE® Foam! I am optimistic it will help me achieve my goal of having a thick, full head of hair once again.

Women's ROGAINE® Foam 5% Minoxidil Topical Aerosol is the first and only FDA-approved , once daily application hair regrowth product exclusively for women experiencing hereditary hair loss. It contains 5% minoxidil, which is the only ingredient FDA-approved to regrow hair in women.

I am in the process of using Women's ROGAINE® Foam to stimulate hair regrowth. Each evening, I massage the directed amount of foam into my scalp. The enhanced biodelivery system is designed to break down with my body heat to deposit actives on the scalp without residue. It's okay to use on my color treated hair, and can also be used on chemically treated (permed) hair. It can be applied to either dry or towel-dried hair, and can be used in conjunction with other styling products to easily fit into a beauty routine. It's odor-free, non-messy, does not leave any residue and does not weigh the hair down.

When massaged into the scalp, Women's ROGAINE® Foam 5% Minoxidil Topical Aerosol reactivates hair follicles and stimulates hair growth. Clinical studies show that with once daily use of Women's ROGAINE® Foam 5% Minoxidil Topical Aerosol for 24 weeks, 80% of women regrew hair, with initial results as early as 12 weeks and new hairs coming in up to 48% thicker than before. Continued use of Women's ROGAINE® Foam is required to maintain results.

Women's ROGAINE® Foam is currently available nationwide without a prescription. A 2 month supply has a retail of $29.99, or you can get a 4 month supply for $49.99. If you would like to try it for yourself, here is a current printable $5 off any 1 Women's Rogaine Foam!

What’s in My Handbag? #PocketPearlatTarget

My father in law was over at our house the other day, and he needed to move my car. "Where are your keys?" he asked. I replied, "Just grab them out of the purse. It's right over there." Little did I know, that remark was going to throw him into a big tizzy. "Oh, no! I will NOT! I don't ever get into a woman's purse. Not even my wife's!"

That little conversation really got me thinking about how the contents of a handbag are mysterious to some people. I mean, we take it with us practically everywhere we go. It's almost like an extension of our own bodies sometimes. What could we possibly need to have within reach at all times? Today, I'm going to share with you what I keep in MY handbag. Really, it's not as exciting as one would think, but it is full of practical and useful items that I use on a daily basis.

See, nothing top secret here, but every day essentials. Keys, sunglasses, pepper spray, coin purse and my phone. In addition to those are Target-purchased essentials. Floss, hand sanitizer, chap stick and Tampax Pocket Pearl.

Since we are a family of almost all girls, having these girly type items on hand at all times is what gets us through our days seamlessly. Now, if we are going for a bike ride or a family hike, I don't always take my handbag with me. I just grab items that we need most, push them into my pocket, and away we go! That's why I love the new Tampax Pocket Pearl!

Pocket Pearl is the Pearl tampon, but now available in pocket size! The size is so discreet, you can tuck it into your bag or pocket without anyone ever knowing you are carrying it at all!

Don't let the size fool you though! Even though it's pocket sized, it still gives full sized protection! It also offers:

• Smooth extendable applicator

• Built In Backup­™ Braid that channels leaks back into the core

• Breakthrough wrapper, with discreet, easy-open tab

• Available in all the sizes you need!

I am a Target girl through and through, and I love how easy they make it to find the new Tampax Pocket Pearl. As soon as I got to the heath and beauty section, I spotted it right on the end cap display!

That made me so happy, because nobody wants to stand in the feminine hygiene aisle longer than necessary. Am I right? 

If you are looking for full sized protection wrapped up in a convenient pocket sized product, head over to your nearest Target store to grab your box of Tampax Pocket Pearl!

Ladies, what do you carry in your handbag? Do you think the Tampax Pocket Pearl would help you live a little more discreetly?
