Dove Dry Spray Review & Giveaway

Disclaimer: I received two cans of Dove Dry Spray in exchange for an honest review. All opinions stated are my own.

Gel, spray, solid, roll-on, stick....when it comes to deodorants and antiperspirants, the list is almost endless! What's the best brand? Which option has a better overall coverage? Does one last longer than the other?

I've always used a solid deodorant, so when I was contacted and asked to do a product review on a dry spray, I decided to give it a try!

I was sent two cans - one in the scent "nourished beauty" (citrus/apple) and the other as "clear tone" (watermelon/pear). Of the two, my favorite was the clear tone scent.

With our recent trip to Walt Disney World in December, I was able to test these out on vacation. I also used them during several walk/run sessions and for work. I can happily say that both types of dry spray kept me dry during my workouts and completely did the trick! I plan to continue using them in the future!

I love how these truly do spray "dry" meaning they are dry to the touch within seconds after hitting your skin. It also means that neither one leaves a streaky white mess on your clothing while getting dressed for the day!

Both sprays claim to last 48 hours but let's be honest - I live an active lifestyle and take daily showers therefore I didn't test out that statement!

One of my favorite perks about Dove is the nourishing and soothing factor they give to the skin when applied! Dove Dry Spray is available for purchase at most food/drug/grocery stores and retails for $5.49 a can. If you sign up to be a Dove Insider, you'll receive all the latest and greatest tips and offers from Dove!

Pregnancy Update: 27 Weeks

How many weeks are you now?
27 Weeks + 6 Days (almost in the third trimester! WOW!)

Baby's size? 
Cucumber! :)

Symptoms:
I'm still dealing with this respiratory junk...which happened to move to my lungs over the weekend. Yay. On Monday, I called my OB's office and she was out of town. Instead, I took my "approved medications list" from her to our local Urgent Care (thankfully, I knew the MD running it that day). He gave me an antibiotic and told me a few natural tips/tricks I could try - one of them being a cough syrup made of honey and onion. Sounds interesting? Yeah...it is. I have two days left on the antibiotic and I'm hoping that does the trick. I'm not so much on taking medications while pregnant and I look up EVERYTHING before I take it. It's strange to say, but I feel like I'm back in the 1900's where the medication options were limited and home remedies were the thing!

Overall, my bump still gets tight when I move around but not near as often. I wondered if hacking up a lung coughing like I'm dying would be detrimental but it hasn't changed anything that I've seen!

Exercise:
Well...I've still been doing a lot of sitting (per MD's orders...see last week's pregnancy update). I even managed to box up all of the Christmas stuff (which includes two trees and at least 15 plastic tubs of Christmas décor/ornaments) from a mostly sitting position. This took place over the weekend. Now I'm just waiting on the bag to be delivered for my Christmas tree (the box is in shambles this year). My house looks mostly back to normal minus the giant empty tree in the living room! :)

Cravings?
Still the same...Ranch dressing and crunchy things! I also had a peppermint shake from Chick Fil A for the last time this season!

Aversions? 

Still fish!! Can't handle the smell!

Sleep:

I wake up every time I need to turn over which occurs a few times per night but I always fall right back asleep. Madalynn loves her momma's snoogle, too!

Purchases:
Baby Seal officially has a bed on order! It should arrive sometime next week! YAY! This is the set we went with: (minus the changing table insert on the dresser)

 

What I miss: 
Feeling normal.

What I’m looking forward to:
We start baby classes next week and they continue through February. I also booked a 3D/4D ultrasound with a local facility and I'm excited to see Baby Seal again!
My next step is deciding on registry items and booking a newborn photographer! Can't wait!

Best Moment of the Week:

Getting so much stuff accomplished - I worried myself last week but feel so much better now!

As a side note, I LOVE when businesses offer up close parking for pregnant mommas! (Walgreens  does this as well!)

That's all for this week! Next week we will have entered the third trimester and are counting down the days until Baby Seal's arrival!
