This post is part of the HEALTHY ESSENTIALS® 2014 program by Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc. and The Motherhood, who sent me a box of products and compensated me for my time. Opinions, experiences and photos shared here are all my own, and I hope you enjoy them.
I was recently sent this amazing box of goodies from Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies and the Motherhood. Inside were some products to help me get ready for a very special Valentine’s Day. Now, I won’t fib to you. I am not doing anything really spectacular. We aren’t going on a special date. We have no big dinner plans. But, as a mom who is home all the time, I welcome any time that I can focus on me and my appearance and health. This box gave me that opportunity!
What I wanted to share with you first is the Rembrandt Deeply White Peroxide Fresh Mint Toothpaste.
I love the way this foams up and freshens my mouth. It provides me with a nice, mild taste that lasts for hours. It removes surface stains and deeply penetrates to visibly whiten teeth inside and out, all while restoring enamel. What I especially love about it is that it uses the same enamel-safe whitening ingredient that dentists use. I have noticed a distinct difference in my teeth since I have started using it and my husband has really liked using this as well. We both love that clean feeling after using the Rembrandt toothpaste. Want to try it for yourself? You can get a printable coupon for $3 off any two Rembrandt Whitening Paste or Rinse products at HealthyEssentials.com.
Following my using the Rembrandt Deeply White toothpaste, I love to use the Listerine Ultra Clean. Arctic Mint is my favorite variety and that was included in my box of goodies too! It freshens my breath throughout the day as well. It is one of those things I don’t like to be without in my bathroom! You will find a $1 off a variety of Listerine products coupon at HealthyEssentials.com.
Inside were also some great products from Neutrogena that I have been using. My favorite is the Healthy Volume Mascara. I usually prefer a darker color but this has been great in making my lashes stand out and separate. The MoistureSmooth Color Stick has been fun for me too. I am not big on lipstick but this goes on smooth and light. I like it! You can get a printable coupon for $1 off any Neutrogena Cosmetics product at HealthyEssentials.com
Getting ready for my date night with my kids and husband will be a breeze with these great products. My mouth will be fresh and my makeup perfect. I’ll be using them long after that day love as I plan on making these products part of my every day routine! Little changes that make me feel better about myself affect my family… as they say, a happy mom makes a happy home.
What do you do to get ready for Valentine’s Day? Do you use any special products, wear special makeup or clothing?

We just did a night in, cooked, made Valentines and enjoyed each others company. It was nice!
I know the product but have never tried it… Happy Valentine’s Day!
“Happy mom makes a happy home,” so true! When I feel good about life, my family is happy.
I only use whitening toothpaste. I’m going to need to give this a try!
I LOVE the Rembrandt Deeply White Peroxide Fresh Mint Toothpaste! I am forever trying whitening toothpastes (waay too much coffee), and this one actually leaves your mouth refreshed too!
Thanks for sharing!! I love getting coupons for brands I will actually use!
$1 off Listerine is a good coupon. I think it’s hard to find those for that brand, and we like it too.
My mom loves Rembrant, but I have never tried it. I don’t do anything special to get ready when we go out though.
I don’t think I’ve ever used Rembrant before. I am going to have to give them a try!
I’ve never tried this toothpaste before. I use crest 3d white usually. Maybe I’ll give this a try though!
I really haven’t done anything to get ready for Valentine’s Day. My husband has the day off, but we’re going to work on getting our rental house in order – not too exciting!
I’m loving this toothpaste! I feel like it really is keeping my teeth white.
We have decided we want to take the kids to see a movie for valentines day. We don’t have a sitter this year so we are making it a family night. 🙂
I love to try out new products. The toothpaste foaming action sounds really satisfying.
valentine’s day isn’t something be put too much effort in. While it’s traditionally a holiday for lovers/spouses and etc we like to celebrate with our kids by showing them how much we love them
I always try to glam up a big for vday! Put on some makeup and a cute outfit, at least.
We still haven’t decided what we are doing for Valentine’s Day. If we go out, it will probably be the usual dinner and movie (or a stop by a Redbox). I have a special perfume I wear when we have date nights.
This year for Valentine’s my fiance is taking me out for dinner. We are trying to keep it low key this year!
I’ll be lucky if we get out of our driveway to go to work tomorrow. (SO much snow!) We’re actually not doing anything special, but I do try to make sure that I’m a little more presentable (read: a little more makeup) than normal, if we do go out.
We’ve got 11 inches already and it’s whiteout conditions here in CT. It’s not supposed to stop for a few hours yet and then ice– and then more snow. We’re probably staying in and making do with whatevers in the house for Valentine’s Day!
Usually we do something special like going out to eat. This year we’re making it a family event. After all this snow, we’ll just be happy to get out of the house.
Doing Valentines late this year. Would still want to be fresh for that kiss. lol
I don’t have anything planned for Valentine’s Day, either. But, you’re right, we still want to feel good. Your box sounds like a fun one to have. I wold have been thrilled to bits with Neutrogena products. My fav!
We don’t do Valentine’s Day, but we do go out on date nights a couple of times a month. I don’t know if I would say I do anything special to get ready, though. Maybe flat iron my hair a little extra?
