I am always on the lookout for natural baby products that do not contain parabens to use on my little girl. I recently stopped using a leading brand of baby wipes because I was very disappointed to find out that they contained a whole list of parabens.Since we started cloth diapering, I have also decided to use cloth wipes. When we are on the go (and we are on the go a lot) cloth wipes are not an … [Read more...]

I was a very active child and suffered many bumps and bruises that led to scarring. Those scars didn't bother me as much as the scars from a cupping experiment gone wrong and my c -section scar. I saw a doctor regarding the bad burn left on my back from the cupping experiment and she suggested I try a scar leaf. I found the scar leaf to be very effective but also very irritating since it had … [Read more...]

My toddler was always very independent and wanted to walk on her own and not be held. Just recently she started to ask me to hold her while we are at the super market or walking around. She is only 25 pounds, which doesn't seem like much - but after a few minutes of holding her she feels more like 50 pounds. She is too big for most baby carriers, but these wouldn't help much either because she … [Read more...]

I have (another) confession to make:After cloth diapering for almost 2 months, I switched back to sposies for the weekend. I can explain: we went away for a few days and we had no access to a washing machine and my diaper stash is not large enough to make it through 3 days without washing. So, I resorted back to the landfill piling diapers.I do have great news though... I FINALLY put my little … [Read more...]

 Of all things I receive to review, my mom had her eye on the package of Scott's Liquid Gold. Why was she so interested in furniture cleaner? Well, Scott's Liquid Gold has been a trusted name in households for over 60 years, made with natural organic oils. Not only does Scott's Liquid Gold clean wood, but you can also use it to fix squeaky hinges, shine metal, clean porcelain, vinyl, and … [Read more...]

I just completed week 2 of Nutrisystem with the hubby and I think he is beating me at this friendly weightloss competition. I was very disappointed when I got on the scale today and gained 2 pounds. I actually think that this is water weight from  hormones and I'm not beating myself up about it (until I see what happens next week..)We ate normal food yesterday, but we used our Nutrisystem … [Read more...]

Week 2: I just completed week 2 on Nutrisystem. I weighed in at 239.6 this morning, down 4 lbs from last week. I was prepared for the decrease in weight loss, as I had read on the Nutrisystem website not to get discouraged when you don’t see as big as a drop in weight the second week. As for the food, so far so good. I have enough variety in my meal plan that I have not had to eat … [Read more...]

The weather is getting warmer and there is nothing more invigorating on a humid day than a cool shower. There is something about the smell of Tree Hut that makes shower time even more relaxing. The smell of coconut and refreshing lime tingles the senses while Shea butter moisturizes your skin.I have been on the search for products that do not contain parabens since I was pregnant and I am happy to … [Read more...]

I LOVE candles! When I was still living at home, my dad would always ask me not to light candles because he was afraid of fires. Shortly after I moved into my own place, I realized I was actually allergic to candles. All this time I thought that my contacts were just dry by the end of the day, but the truth was that my eyes would get irritated. I tried many different candles including … [Read more...]
