During our trip to The King and Prince Resort earlier this week myself, my husband, my son, and daughter all found our own happy-place and we didn’t even have to look for it. It just happened.
I, for example, am convinced that my brain has a chemical reaction when I see and hear the ocean. When I am at the beach, I’m in my happy place. The King and Prince Resort’s ocean backyard, beautiful ocean views from the villas and rooms, restaurants and pools, and swings that sway from the ocean breeze, ensure that I’m in a happy place during my entire stay there. I *need* nothing else.
Finding our happy-place at The King and Prince Resort on St. Simons Island
My son is happiest when he’s climbing trees. He was very happy to find this tree outside the St. Simons Lighthouse. He instantly found his happy place when he places his hands and feet on the tree in climbing position.
My daughter is happiest when she’s floating. She tries to float in mid-air (dancing) but there isn’t a time when she’s nearly as at peace as when she is floating in a pool, of which The King and Prince Resort has at least five.
My husband found his happy place while he was finding beautiful whelk (or conch) shells on the sandbar and when he was building sand castles with the kids at all hours of the day and night, right outside our villa.
It’s so wonderful that everyone in my family found and sustained their own happiness while we were on St. Simons Island and at The King and Prince Resort. We’ve dubbed The King and Prince Resort ‘our all-inclusive happy place’. The King and Prince Resort provides guests with the ultimate environment and atmosphere for finding their happy-place.
Have you been to St. Simons Island and The King and Prince Resort?

Tria skin perfecting blue light
You may have read in one of my recent posts that I experienced pretty bad acne in my teens and early twenties. Now that I am in my late thirties and I feel pretty confident that the worse of my acne days are over, I have considered laser treatment for acne. However, before trying a treatment that seems as intrusive as laser treatment and because I still get the occasional pimple.. or two, I am trying out Tria’s blue light ance treatment.
What is it?
Tria’s fabulous gadget is called the Skin Perfecting Blue Light and provides a type of acne treatment that uses non-UV lights to eliminate bacteria from the skin. A buildup of bacteria is one of the main reasons that people develop skin problems. Once the buildup clogs your pores, pimples begin to form. Fortunately, this skin perfecting blue light will treat your skin quickly and effectively. To make it even better, you can now use this device from the comfort of your own home.
It is FDA-approved
Clinical studies have found that blue light treatment causes a 70 percent reduction of acne. Along with that, 93 percent of consumers had a smoother complexion in as little as four weeks. This FDA-approved product will leave your skin looking healthy and radiant. With this hand-held device, you no longer have to suffer from blemishes and breakouts; instead, your skin will have an improved tone and texture.
Recommended by dermatologists
Since the device has proven to be safe and effective, Tria Blue Light is recommended by dermatologists. However, I have learned that you should only use the blue light for acne for five minutes per day. It can be used in a single five-minute period or split into two sessions. The Tria Skin Perfecting Blue Light delivers the same therapeutic power that a dermatologist can provide. The blue light strikes the bacteria on your face and kills them; all without causing harm to surrounding tissue
My personal experience with Tria’s Skin Perfecting Blue Light
Using Tria Skin Perfecting Blue Light
I have been using the Tria blue light for almost a week and love how easy it is to use. It’s very light, easy to hold, and operates quietly. Using the Tria Skin Perfecting Blue Light is simple. Just insert the included cartridge and touch the blue light to your skin. The Blue Light turns on automatically when you touch it to your skin. Gently and continuously glide the blue light over your face. The blue light beeps every 30 seconds while treatment is being applied. After using the blue light for 2 1/2 minutes you will hear a different sound, prompting you to either stop and do the remaining 2 1/2 minutes later in the day or continue to use the blue light for a total of 5 minutes.
How to use it
With the Tria Skin Perfecting Blue Light you have the opportunity to accelerate skin cell renewal by using blue light technology. For the best results, apply the device over affected areas. For example, you can apply it to your chin and jaw. If needed, you can even apply it over your whole face. In order to use the device, you simply touch the light to your skin. You should glide it over your face like you would do with a paint brush on a canvas. The sleek design and contoured handle makes the device simple to use. It even has a large tip to effectively penetrate the skin.
Increase self esteem
Because my son is almost a teenager and I want him to know how to get rid of acneif it becomes a serious issue, I have researched a lot of acne treatment reviews. Since learning about Tria’s skin perfecting Blue Light, I feel confident that he won’t have to worry about developing anything more than the occasional pimple. The skin perfecting blue light is a great way to increase your self-esteem… I wish it was around when I had acne.
I no longer need to use topical creams to clear up the pimples I get. I am thrilled that we now have a safe and effective way to treat pimples!
With this affordable gadget, you have the option to treat your face from the comfort of your own home. Pretty great isn’t it?

Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Tria and received a Tria Skin Perfecting Blue Light product sample to facilitate my review.
Our summer has been go, go, go! Non stop planning, packing, having fun at our destination, unpacking, then planning the next trip. We started the kid’s summer break off with a 4 day stay Callaway Gardens in East Georgia, then we stayed at a beautiful beach house in Gulf Shores, Alabama for a week, now we’re preparing for a 5 day stay at The King and Prince Beach and Golf Resort on St. Simon’s Island, Georgia this Saturday and then I’m going to New Mexico for a business trip for 3 days, then we’re going to Callaway Gardens again for 4 days again. A week after that trip I am scheduled to have surgery so I guess you could say that I’ve been trying to squeeze a lot of fun into a short summer break because my surgery is recovery time is cutting two weeks off of potential travel and fun time with the kids.
While my husband is not able to travel with the kids and I on all of these trips this summer and thus can’t read to her every night, which he and my daughter both love, I came up with the fabulous idea of using Skype to allow him to be right there with her in bed and read to her at night even though he’s hundreds of miles away.
Skype gives my kids the ability to see and talk to their dad while we’re away without him. Seriously, Skype is a life changer for me. Having my husband help put the kids to bed even though he’s hundreds of miles away is great and couldn’t be done without Skype.
Skype Tip #1: How to put a child to bed via Skype
I get my daughter all ready for bed. She brushes her teeth, flosses, rinses, goes to the bathroom and washes her hands and face.
Then I tuck her in bed.
Next, I put my laptop in the bed next to my 6 year old and connect to Skype.
He picks up from wherever he is, via his iPhone or laptop.
He talks to her about her day then he asks her to pick three stories from her pile of books by the bed.
He reads the three books to her and then he SINGS to her like he always does at home.
This is just one way that Skype allows my daughter and husband to have a normal bedtime routine even during summer travel!
Skype’s new anti-shake video feature for iPhone makes video chats even more pleasant than they were before!
Skype Tip #2: Have a Skype group chat to help plan your summer vacation
Because our summer vacation trips often involve family members in other states, it is helpful to have a group ‘meeting’ before we arrive at our destination so everyone is on the same page regarding where we are going to go while we’re there, where we want to eat, etc. It’s a great idea to set up a time when all of the adults involved in the vacation can chat via Skype and go over the details of the trip. Skype Group Video Chat is available with a Premium subscription.
