Our Indy 500 Adventure

Our good friends Kathi George and Steve Conforti were nice enough to invite our family to the Indy 500 this year over the Memorial Day weekend, and what an unbelievable thrill it was! There’s nothing like seeing a truly American spectacle like the Indy 500 from the inside. Thanks Kathi and Steve!!!!

The day before the race

We got to go backstage as ZZ TOP played to over 80,000 people on the interior grass of the 2.5 mile track. They were Awesome!!! Looks like Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill were having a good time.

 Frank Beard seems to be doing all right back there on the drums.

We were close enough to touch Billy Gibbons!!! Check out the “truck exhaust Mike-stand!”

Next it was raceday!!!

Before the race our boys just had to have some White Castle Burgers!!

When we arrived at the track there was a Scottish Band marching through the parking lot.

As we walked through Gasoline Alley that morning there were last minute preparations going on. 

It’s amazing just how small those car cockpits are for the drivers.

Our son Jack got to walk around the famous‘Gasoline Alley’

I know he wanted to jump into this car and just take off!

I wonder how this truck will do.

They had some of the hall of fame cars lined up at the starting line when we arrived.

 I would have loved to take this one out for a spin.

Dylan ran into some wonderful sailors while we were checking out Pit Row prior to the race.

Not a bad way to spend your Sunday, huh Dylan???

“Get your car parts here. Car parts!!!”

It was pretty awesome to realize I was actually standing on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway!

Here comes last year’s winner, Helio Castroneves.

There’s his car!!!

There’s Danica Patrick’s car.

It’s time for me to touch the ‘brickyard’ before the race.

 

This is the building called the Pagoda, where we are lucky enough to be watching the race from. Up there on the second floor, just above the start/finish line. Unbelievable!!!!

So we went upstairs,  looked across the track and guess who we saw? Jack Nicholson, Lakers cap and all. He was there to officially start the race.

“You want me at this race!!”            “You need me at this race!!”

All the cars are lined up and it’s time to sing ‘God Bless America’

Hey, that’s Florence Henderson, Mrs. Brady herself, singing just below us!!!!!

Time to start the race!!!

Here they come, all lined up and ready to officially start when they see that green flag.

Looks like Jack’s got the flag thing down!

Once the race began guess who I got to meet? Florence Henderson, someone I watched on TV when I was growing up. Unreal! It’s the story of a lovely lady…………

And now it’s time for some of the drivers to hit the pits!!

OOPS! Has anyone seen my wheel????

What’s a race without a couple of wrecks.

Looks like it’s time for the checkered flag.

And Dario Franchitti wins!!!   Not bad for a nice Italian boy from Scotland.

Somebody’s crew is happy!

After his victory lap, Dario hugs Danica Patrick while his wife, Ashley Judd, looks on. Not a bad day for him, winning over $2.8 million.

Guess who was waiting for us when we got back to California?? Hello there, Charlie!!!

Wounded Warrior Project’s TRACK Program

We at Get Fresh were lucky enough to be given an opportunity to provide some gift baskets for two very deserving young ladies that we are extremely proud of. They are both participating in the Wounded Warrior Project’s TRACK Program.  Congratulations Lisa and Severa!!!!

If you’d like to find out more about WWP or donate your time or money to helping these wonderful people achieve their goals, please click on the link below.

Get Fresh gives gift baskets to two very deserving young ladies that we are extremely proud of. They are both participating in the Wounded Warrior Project’s TRACK Program.

Lisa  Crutch (left)

Lisa Crutch is a former Army Sergeant and a native of Queens, New York. She suffered multiple injuries including a TBI and PTSD while bravely serving her country. Currently she’s a full-time student and participant of Wounded Warrior Project’s TRACK program.  Lisa has said “WWP has helped in ways I couldn’t explain, they have been a light in a tunnel of darkness.&rdquo

Lisa enjoys spending time with her family and talking with her friends in her spare time. Her future plans include furthering her education once she completes WWP’s TRACK program.

Severa  Rodriquez  (right)

Marine Corps Sergeant Severa Rodriquez knows this and the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) all too well. Back home, Severa discovered first-hand how difficult the adjustment to civilian life can be when you’ve dedicated your heart to the military.

After participating in Wounded Warrior Project’s Project Odyssey, an outdoor rehabilitative retreat for warriors dealing with combat stress, Severa enrolled in TRACK, where she is taking college classes with other wounded warriors. The experience has made her socialize more and is helping to shape her post-military future.

“I really want to work with Wounded Warrior Project. The program is awesome. I want to volunteer and help other people out.  That way I know I'm here for a cause. I'm here to help others.”

For more information about the Wounded Warrior Project please visit our website at www.woundedwarriorproject.org.

Before You Self-Tan… Get Fresh

snapshot of Canadian Beauty Blog about sugar body scrubSelf-tanning is the method of adding colour these days.  Every time I watch The Hills, I hear Stephanie Pratt mention something about her spray tan or her spray tanning machine, and it reminds me that even if you’re in a warmer climate, you don’t sit outside and bake in the sun.

But if you’re self-tanning, then you need to make sure that you’re taking care of your skin before-hand.  That means exfoliating and making sure that it’s moisturized at all times.

There are tons of products out there that can help you do this, but I just got introduced to Get Fresh. Get Fresh is a spa bath and body line and it features tons of yummy-scented products. You can pick them up at many salons and spas and now that they’re on my radar, I’ve been noticing them way more!body scrub with real sugar

Their Sugar Body Scrub in the Grapefruit flavour is one of the best I’ve ever used, and ever since I had a professional body scrub done, I use it the way a spa would. I emulsify the scrub with some water in my hand, and then rub it on dry (not wet!) skin. The sugar does take longer to dissolve, but that means that you get more exfoliating, and the overall result is smoother skin than ever before. This particular scrub actually is soft enough for you to use it this way.

I did notice that using the scrub this way made it last a lot longer, and given that I was exfoliating a couple of times a week, I was able to make this scrub last for about a month!

The scrub retails for $23 and you can also get a body butter in the same Grapefruit scent if you want to layer them.  Order online through their website or use their store locator to find a retail location near you.

6 Better Ways to Exfoliate for Sunless Tan Fans

get fresh is mentioned in article about 6 Better
Ways to Exfoliate for Sunless Tan Fans!

Get Fresh Lemongrass Mineral Body Scrub body scrub with dead sea salt

This scrub was so rich and creamy that I was afraid it would definitely make my skin greasy to the touch. Instead, it felt extremely smooth and conditioned. Plus, I LOVE how fresh it smells, it really smells like lemongrass which perked me right up.

Go on... Get Fresh

snapshot of Canadian Beauty Blog about sugar body scrubIt was unanimous that Get Fresh was the place to find the Best Body Products! We are loving the everything about this brand right down to the sophisticated packaging. Their entire collection would make wonderful gifts. They offer a huge product range from body washes to bags to fragrances. We really loved the body masks. It's detoxifying treatment that is made from dead sea clay and minerals. When applied it draws out the impurities from your skin and leaves it feeling super soft. The Grapefruit scent was our favorite and once we saw the results....we just couldn't wait to use it on our whole body. Goodbye scaly legs! Also completely worthy of your shower is the Creamy Body Wash. It will drench your skin in a moisture rich lather that will make you wonder if it is a wash or a lotion. It definitely worked wonders when used as a shaving cream and left my legs without any annoying red bumps. Lastly we had the pleasure of trying out the Body Scrubs. They were divine! A combination of dead sea salts and hydrating botanicals do an gentle but effective job of smoothing away dry, rough skin. The exfoliating process leaves your skin moisturized instead of scaly and thirsty. If the other products available from Get Fresh are even close to the great quality of the ones we tried out - they are all something I would like to own. You can view their entire collection and start pampering your skin today by visiting Get Fresh.

Get Fresh has got Mother's Day Covered

snapshot of Product Whores BlogI seriously don't know how I haven't purchased Get Fresh stuff before.  Maybe because I've never seen any of their items in store so I didn't know what I was missing. Well, I am so thrilled to have been introduced because their stuff is absolutely amazing and with Mother's Day right around the corner I have got my presents all sorted out (sweet!).  Relief for Tattered Tootsies is an adorable feet-saving collection that comes packaged in the cutest little cosmetic bag (absolute sucker for packaging).  The set comes with Softening Foot Gel, Down and Dirty Foot Scrub, Intensive Foot Repair Creme and a pumice stone.  I love, love this kit.  All the products are incredible - smell deliciously of lemongrass, really have improved the look and feel of my feet (just in time for sandal weather) and even though the containers are on the small side, they will last a while because you don't need to use a whole lot.  For $23.00, this kit is a great gift (for Mom or yourself - your call really)

Another awesome gift for Mom is the Look Better Naked set which comes in Black Current, Lemongrass, Grapefruit and Starfruit.  The set comes with full size containers of Mineral Body Scrub, Mineral Body Mask and Rich Body Creme and comes packaged in this cute terrycloth, plastic-lined, cosmetic bag.  The Mineral Body Scrub is seriously amazing.  Containing dead salts, it's a gentle scrub that almost melts into skin when you're in the shower leaving behind an amazing scent (lemongrass is my fave).  After scrubbing use the Mineral Body Mask for a ten minute hydration boost and then end with the Body Creme which is Incredibly moisturizing, not greasy and I love the light lemongrass scent. 


And with any shopping excursion it's always important to buy something for yourself, as well.  I am a huge fan of their Nourishing Hand Creme (Grapefruit is an uplifting but not overpowering scent).  The creme sinks in immediately, smells fantastic, really hydrates and the $17.00 tube is a big one that will last a long time.  But think bedside for the 4 oz tube because it is too large for a purse.  The travel sizes, however, would be perfect for on-the-go and at $4.00 are extremely budget-friendly (and you could own the whole set at that price).

All of Get Fresh's products are free of parabens, synthetic dyes or sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates.  Also, a big bonus with this company, you can sample any products for only a $1.25 handling fee.  Gotta love that!

get fresh FEET

snapshot of blog on Jenessa Blaine, featuring foot repair creme and kit

As a runner and a person who is always on their feet, I often suffer from foot discomfort. My feet have to be cared for on a daily basis or it is just bad news. The only problem is, "what product really works?" I have found the solution, it is called "Get Fresh FEET." Get Fresh is an impressive brand that has a variety of products for the feet that really work. I have tried tones of products to keep my feet in tip top shape and I was just disappointed with the results.
Below are the products I have tried and would recommend

Relief For Tattered Tootsies

This is a 3 step at home foot treatment that sloughs, buffs, and moisturizes the skin for instant relief. With a light scent of lemongrass.
Foot repair kit to give relief for your tired feet Kit includes:
STEP ONE Totally Soaked is a softening foot gel that dissolves dead skin.
STEP TWO Down n' Dirty is a heavy duty pumice foot scrub for intense results.
STEP THREE Rescue ME is a foot repair cream with shea butter, aloe vera, and alpha hydroxy fruit acids.

Poor Soles "Foot Moisture Stick"
Poor soles is a portable moisture stick with she butter and aloe vera. The stick is good for any area that needs extra moisture such as knees, elbow, and feet.

Knock Your Sock Off "Deodorizing Foot Spray"
The foot spray is refreshing and energizing and at the same time eliminates odor.
* I give my honest opinion regardless if I am sent a product or purchase it myself.

Get Fresh Review

get fresh bath, body and spa products

Get Fresh is a fun, life-loving attitude as much as it is a brand that always leaves you with a smile. We believe that you should trust your instinct, never take yourself too seriously, and always think outside the box. We seek to inspire, be inspired, and do something that we are passionate about everyday

Get Fresh Foot Care is a botanical-based lemongrass feet products slough, buff and moisturize, providing instant relief for tattered tootsies. Formulated without parabens, sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates or synthetic dyes. I love products for my feet, because a lot of companies focus on the face, hair, body etc. No one cares about their fee anymore?

relief for tattered tootsiesSet includes....
Totally Soaked, Softening Foot Gel
Down n Dirty Foot Scrub
Rescue Me, Intensive Foot Creme

Relief for Tattered Tootsies Kit($23) is a 3-step foot treatment that sloughs, buffs and moisturizes with skin renewing botanicals and lemongrass for instant relief. This kit is better then a spa treatment! After being on your feet all day, nothing is better then a nice warm bath, and this foot treatment. The bag is also adorable, makes for a great makeup bag once your products are gone.

grapefruit body butter


Get Fresh sells products by fragrance, which was my favorite feature on their site. You can choose from black currant, grapefruit, starfruit, lemongrass, orange blossom or white fleurs. Grapefruit, however is one of my favorite fragrances of all time, so I couldn't resist!

The Grapefruit Hydrating Body Butter ($27) is jam-packed with an exotic mix of antioxidants, botanicals, multivitamins, and tropical nut oils. This whipped creme wonder absorbs quickly, is never greasy, and leaves your skin supple and noticeably softer. I love the delicious smell of grapefruit, and this lotion really delivers. The scent is long lasting, and will keep your skin moisturized through out the day.

look better naked kitCheck out this adorable set by Get Fresh. The Look Better Naked Grapefruit Set. ($29.80) The 3-step home spa treatment is specially formulated to combat dull, dry and lackluster skin. In just 15 minutes, it exfoliates, detoxifies and moisturizes to help your skin look its best.

The first step is the Mineral Body Scrub. Apply it on, works like an exfoliator, and then wash it off to get rid of all that yucky dead skin on your body.


The 2nd step was the Mineral body mask I've never actually used a body mask, it was quite interesting. It's like a face mask but all over your body! So I let that sit for about 15 minutes, and then washed off. The Result? My Skin was soft and smooth, just like your mud face mask!

And the 3rd step is a Rich Body Creme Doesn't feel like a regular lotion, it's a little bit thinner, but I actually liked that because it went on smooth and soft.

The 3 steps to perfect skin... (Pictured above) ♥

Makes for a fabulous gift... ♥
Works just like a face mask, but for your entire body!!!!

Get Fresh makes for a great gift, or keep it for yourself. I can't speak for the other scents, but this is one of the best smelling grapefruit products I've smelled and tried in a LONG time. Visit Get Fresh for all your bath and body needs. You will love the result ..
