Walgreens Brand Oil-Free Acne Wash

March 23, 2011 By

This is a compensated post written by me on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

With a tween and a teen in the house, acne is becoming a problem. It’s hard enough for me to get either of my sons to even wash their face at all let alone use special acne products, so I look for products that are simple and effective. We have a Walgreens less than a mile from my house so it’s my go-to store for most products, and whenever possible, I buy Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products because they are always cheaper and in my experience, work exactly the same. 

I got a bottle of Walgreens Brand Oil-Free Acne Wash to review. It has the same ingredients as Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash.  I had previously done a review for Neutrogena and remembered their product, so I can say with certainty that in my experience,  Walgreens Brand Oil-Free Acne Wash works just as well as Neutrogena. must contain the same active ingredients as national brands and are pharmacist recommended.  Best of all, while the Neutrogena brand costs $6.49, the Walgreens brand is only $4.99. And right now, every dollar counts!

Another great reason to shop at Walgreens is the Walgreens Way to Well Fund™. When you buy a  Walgreens will contribute up to $3 million annually to local community programs which provide free preventative health tests and other health and wellness and education programs.

    Earn a Professional Blogging Diploma from Ashworth College

    March 23, 2011 By

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

     

    Did you know that you can get a Professional Blogging Career Diploma from an accredited college? It’s true!    Ashworth College is an online institution that provides instruction and support services for students looking to learn how to create, publish, manage and promote a blog, vlog, podcast or webcast. 
     
    I started blogging in 2005. I created my first blog by going to blogger.com and signing up. The first time I looked at the New Post page, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. Back then, blogs were much simpler, but it still took me asking my readers a ton of questions for me to be able to figure out how to do anything. The first time I successfully made a link, I was so excited a wrote a post about it!  It took me months to figure out how to code an image in my sidebar that linked to the correct page. It was a lot of hard trial and error.
     
    Without the generous support and help of other bloggers who had already figured all those things out, I don’t know if I would have even continued blogging. And now I have three blogs that I maintain by myself, blogs that make me money that helps us pay bills or take little vacations or pay for unexpected repairs. I’m proud of how far I have come, but now that I think about it, if I were starting my first blog today and there was a way to learn the latest blogging techniques from experienced instructors? I would definitely consider studying it first before diving right in!
     
    I would have saved myself months of trial and error if I had learned how to blog before I actually started the blog. I think someone who is interested in blogging, who wants their site to have video and slideshows and images should consider something like this program from Ashworth. Kids today, so lucky to have this opportunity!
