A friend of mine teaches middle school, and one time I said something about what an awkward time that is for kids, with the teeth-too-big-for-your-head and the acne and whatnot. Her response was “It’s not awkward anymore. They all have braces, hair straighteners and Proactiv.”

What a coincidence – we are doing giveaways for all three of those things this week! (If you missed the Remington or Invisalign giveaways, you can find them here and here).

So today, we’re taking care of your teen’s skin by offering an amazing gift pack from Proactiv! Take a look at what all is included:
– 30 day Proactiv 3-step kit w/ free Refining Mask and Green Tea Moisturizer
– Daily Protection Plus Sunscreen SPF 30
– Oil Blotter Sheets
– Advanced Blemish Treatment
– Clarifying Night Cream

Where were those oil blotter sheets when kids were calling me “Shiny” circa 1996?? Anyway…

Here’s what the Proactiv people have to say:
Proactiv Solution, the world’s best selling acne system, is a leader in acne prevention and treatment specifically formulated to offer consumers a lifetime of smooth, clear, healthy-looking skin. Developed by leading dermatologists, Drs. Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields, Proactiv utilizes Combination Therapy to directly target the root causes of acne – bacteria, oil production, and dead skin cell build up – allowing Proactiv to heal and sooth acne-prone skin. Proactiv clears existing blemishes, addresses inflammation and redness, and prevents new breakouts from occurring.

Sounds about right to me. I haven’t used Proactiv myself (although if they make a pore minimizer, I am going to sign myself up), but I have heard nothing but great things about it, and we are excited to give it away here on Mommin’ It Up!

Here’s how to win:
1) Leave a comment on this blog post
2) For an extra entry tweet about this contest on twitter with a link back to this post, then leave a separate comment with your tweet URL. You may copy and paste this if you wish: “@mommintup & @jennyitup are giving away skin care from @Proactiv! #wingiveaways ”

This is our biggest giveaway yet!  Thanks to technology geniuses at Intel (generous geniuses!) we are giving away this sweeeet Acer Timeline X laptop powered by the Intel CORE i5 processor!!

Thanks to the brains of the Intel CORE i5 processor, this laptop has a battery with an EIGHT-HOUR battery life and it is super-thin and lightweight – perfect for carrying around campus!  The long battery life means no need to find a place to plug-in either!  Your student can work anytime, anywhere.

Here are some more fun facts about why the Intel CORE i5 processor makes this machine so great for students:

• Makes long battery life and mobility possible
• It makes multi-tasking possible (running multiple applications) without sacrificing speed or performance – no more waiting on the dreaded HOURGLASS!
• It’s got enough power for big tasks like photo and video editing and streaming
• It uses less power when you are doing simpler tasks, naturally conserving battery life for running more intense applications

Basically, the CORE i5 processor is like having TWO brains for your computer in one!  The more brains you have, the more you can multi-task (I sure wish I had a second brain!!)  Intel’s technology enables you to use your PC more efficiently, so you get more done in less time.  Woot!

When you’re considering buying a laptop for back-t0-school, the first question you should ask is “What do I want to do with it?”  Intel has a technology for every level of performance you need in a computer, so you can get the right combination of performance and price when shopping!
