Date Night Must Haves (And a COVERGIRL, Pantene, and Crest Giveaway!)

Most days, I feel like I live in my car. From morning to night, I'm driving around town, taking the kids to school, working from the office downtown or from my home, heading into meetings, shopping, picking my kids up, and taking them to their after school activities, after homework, of course. Thank goodness for coffee on the go, otherwise I'd never make it through the day!

We do so much, all the time. Phew —it's no wonder we're often left exhausted at the end of the day and all we can think about is relaxing.

I wouldn't have to miss the concert because I would be returning from Greece just a day before the big show. First step? Make sure all my Cover Girl make-up was in order. Lipstick? Check! In Bombshell pink, of course. I didn't know what to wear—jeans and a cute top? Black dress? Little skirt? I ended up wearing a bright yellow dress I bought at Zara in Athens, (the Zara in Europe is so much better than here, for some reason) because Katy is usually bright and colourful so I thought it would be fitting for her show. My hubs declined my invite to take him to meet Katy (is he crazy or what?) ...

As a beauty blogger, I love getting the chance to try the latest products people are buzzing about, because many of these products quickly get added to my "must-buy, must-have" shopping list.
