To help tweens and their parents remain cool, calm and confident when tweens undergo important changes in their bodies, Unilever, the maker of Degree, Dove and Suave deodorants recently launched the Don't Fret The Sweat website, which provides expert advice, product guides, and answers to frequently asked questions with regard to body odor.
Whether or not parents are ready, their tweens’ bodies are trying to show them the signs of growth. Increased hormones are causing noticeable differences like growth spurts and strange new odors, which may in turn have an impact on self esteem. As you may know how critical self esteem is at this tender age, wouldn't it be nice to get help from professionals and gain a better understanding of all the physical and emotional changes your child is facing?
If you're a parent of tweens or kids who are quickly approaching tween years, please check out Facebook.com/DontFretTheSweat for money saving offers and expert tips, tools and real life stories about how parents are communicating and transitioning their tweens into confident and self-reliant teens.

Many of you must have seen this "Beauty Tip of the Day" widget on my site and a number of other blogs. It delivers useful daily tips regarding skin care, hair care, makeup, and other interesting topics. It also recommends relevant Unilever beauty products to help us achieve a younger and healthier look.
Here are a few of my favorite tips that I learned from the widget:
Simplify your beauty routine and space - stick to five beauty essentials: tinted moisturizer, a multi-purpose makeup stick for eyes, cheeks and lips, concealer, one tube of mascara and one of Q-tips® cotton swabs four new beautifully designed Vanity Packs.
Hide and heal skin imperfections-use a Q-tips® cotton swab. Moisten one end of your Q-tips® cotton swab with an alcohol-free astringent and lightly dab on to the blemish. Use the other end of your Q-tips® cotton swab as a makeup applicator to apply an oil-free concealer to keep the blemish under wraps!
Quick and Easy Steps to Voluminous Hair-1) Start in the shower with Dove Volume Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner. Its unique serum helps to protect fine, limp hair from daily wear and tear without weighing it down. 2) Once hair is dry, try switching the side you part your hair – it is an easy way to add volume and make hair look fuller. 3) To achieve maximum volume, use a fine-toothed comb to backcomb sections of hair at the crown.
A new tip is posted each day on the widget. Be sure to check it out when you visit me every day!
