#ShineStrong with Pantene #PGmom #Giveaway

Beautiful is the strength it takes to reach for your dreams, to speak a little louder, to stand up for what you believe in and to not apologize for it. And that’s what Pantene wants to recognize and celebrate!

#ShineStrong is an exciting movement designed to empower women around the world to be strong and shine, on the inside and out. It celebrates women just like you—who are confidently and courageously bringing this essence to life and inspiring other women every day to do the same.

As part of this movement, Pantene has started #ShineStrong Tag to encourage women to give a shout out to the people, events and products that help them #ShineStrong via YouTube, Instagram (@PanteneHair), Twitter (@Pantene) and Facebook (Facebook.com/PanteneNA)!

Here are the #ShineStrong Tag Questions, with my answers!

1. Finish this sentence, “Strong is…” 

Strong is my daughter's perseverance. She will try so many times, so many different ways, to accomplish something.

2. What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever done? 

The bravest thing I've ever done is become a Mom. It's the best thing I've ever done too.

3. What do you do to unwind? 

I like to cuddle with my daughter and discuss her day. 

4. What’s one thing you’ve always wanted to learn?

To scuba dive! I've gone snorkelling and loved it, can only imagine what it would be like to stay under water for longer periods of time.

5. How does your #bff #ShineStrong? 

My #bff always looks on the bright side of things, especially in situations where it's hard for me to. I hope I do the same for her!

6. What natural talent would you want to be gifted with?

Mathematic brilliance! Numbers and I haven't gotten along for a long time...and they are so essential!

7. What is your idea of happiness? 

Being at the cottage with my family.

8. What is your motto? (Words you live by or that mean a lot to you) 

I stole this from Muno on Yo Gabba Gabba. "Think Happy Thoughts, Happy Thoughts" it gets me through a lot of different situations - from bad drivers to dealing with toddler tantrums!

9. What is your ultimate #ShineStrong hairstyle? 

Wearing my hair down, with a side part.

10. Finish the sentence, “I love good hair days because…” 

I love good hair days because that's when I feel most polished.

11. Share your best tip for strong, healthy hair.

Always protect your hair before you blow dry.  I love Pantene's Heat Protection Spray. I use it each and every time I blow dry, and always get shiny, smooth results!

12. Finish this sentence, “I #ShineStrong when I…”

I #ShineStrong when I'm being Mom.
