Time to start gardening! My tilted pot tower!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Miracle-Gro for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have been inspired by Miracle-Gro to get out into the garden and have some fun! For inspirational projects to do or spark your creativity and start your own story visit The Gro Project on Facebook. If you need some motivation check out this video: 

I had pinned this project quite some time ago and finally got around to doing it with the help of my kids and Husband!

What you need:

• 2 - 8 inch clay pots
• 4 - 6 inch clay pots
• 1 - 5 foot metal rebar stake 
• Moisture Control Potting Mix
• Any flowers you desire
• (optional) paint and sealer

Put it together:

You may choose to paint your pots and seal them or leave them natural. If you paint them make  sure they are sealed for use outdoors. Make sure they are dry.

Pound the rebar stake into the ground about 1 foot deep. 

Starting with an 8 inch pot, thread the rebar through the drainage hole in the pot until it sits on the ground. Fill with Potting Mix and your new flowers (Lobelia works great in our area and it looks like water is flowing over the sides of the pots)

The 4 pots will be the 6 inch pots. Thread through the drainage hole and when the pot reach the one below, use the soil to settle it in place staggered laft to right (or front to back). Fill pots with soil and flowers as you go making sure to leave room for the pot that will be on top of it.

The last pot on the top will be the other 8 inch pot. Fill it with more soil and flowers OR top it with a saucer for a bird bath! You may need to poun the rebar down some to make sure it is hidden beneath the soil. 

The possiblilities are great with this one, get creative and show me what you come up with!

Exclusive Skin Care Sponsor For Spa Week Review

Exclusive skin care sponsor for Spa Week (April 15-21) this year is Beautify Skin Care!

Beautify Skin Care is a professional grade, all natural skin care line! Research has shown that skin responds better to natural ingredients than it does to synthetics. Taking this fact and the fact that 1 out of 3 women develop some form of skin cancer in their life, Beautify created a line of chemical free, natural skin care products!
You will not find any of these dangerous ingredients in their gorgeous jars:

• Parabens
• Mineral Oil
• Dangerous Chemicals or Fillers
• Synthetic Detergents (SLS/SLES)
• Synthetic Perfumes
• Artificial Colors
• Polyethylane Glycol (PEG’s)
• No Animal Testing

Stop putting dangerous chemicals on your skin!

I had the opportunity to test out one of their products. My face is smooth and supple thanks to the Age-Defy Moisturizer Creme. Age-Defy is specially formulated for younger skin. It protects and keeps skin looking youthful.

Benefits:

• Age-Defy moisturizer utilizes the highest concentration of Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate, 20,000 I.U. per 100 grams), commonly referred to as the "Skin Vitamin" and best known for its cellular renewal properties to prevent and reduce the look of aging.
• Provides the maximum benefits of Vitamin A (Retinol) without common side effects such as photosensitivity, redness and irritation.
• Includes Acai: A Super-Fruit ranked as one of the best wrinkle fighting extracts on the planet. 
• Includes Green Tea, which is especially beneficial for sun or environmentally damaged skin. Daily application of this unique blend will leave the skin soft and supple.
• Professional Grade: An abundant amount of the finest clinically-proven natural ingredients available in a Skin Care line, coupled with a higher potency. Helps younger skin defy the signs of aging. Gives you the same potency from the spa, at home. 
• Skin Tip: Also use Age-Defy Eye Treatment, DermaToner, DermaRadiance Mask and DermaScrub Microdermabrasion for even better, faster results!

What did I think?

This is amazing stuff ladies! From the gorgeous jar to the smooth application, you will be addicted! The creme has a fabulously clean and natural scent. Because there are no artificial perfumes its so delicate as well. Within 30 minutes of application I could feel a difference! That has never happened to me before! I live in Arizona where it is quite dry. In the winter months I get a flaky dryness near my hairline and eyebrows. Strange, I know. Last week I started to notice a dry patch in the middle of my forehead. It persisted for a couple of days until I got my Age-Defy. I put it on and it was gone... never to be seen again. 

After a few days of using the Age-Defy I have smooth, moist and healthier looking skin. After having a baby and letting things like beauty slide a little, this is a great product and my favorite thing is that there are no chemicals in it! 

Let me also say that a little goes a long way! This bottle is going to last a while. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a natural, safe and effective skin care line! 

Disclosure: I received a sample as a Spa Week Blogger in the Hot Mom Squad to facilitate this review. All opinions are mine and yours may vary. I only provide reviews for product that I believe my readers will benefit from!
