Like most kids, my daughters love bubbles. They are curious little girls, always wanting to know why and how stuff works. That’s why I was excited when asked to review a science kit from The Young Scientists Club. The Young Scientists Club set out on a mission in 1999 to encourage children to think about the world around them. Their products engage children and teach them about our everyday situations that involve the sciences. Their product line introduces a variety of science topics using Read more [...]

Have you ever read the classic children’s book, “The Saggy Baggy Elephant”? That is sort of what I feel like. I have lost 45 pounds, 39 inches, and 6 dress sizes in the last 35 weeks. My skin is starting to sag! I needed a product to help me repair my skin, renew the texture and improve its appearance. I stumbled upon HTY GOLD and was intrigued. For my review, I received HTY GOLD Intensive Body Serum and Body Gold. Intensive Body Serum is made with Grape seed Oil, Apricot Kernal Oil, Read more [...]

I really enjoy sharing local companies with you guys. I also like telling you about products that have a new and perhaps improved spin to them. Today, I get to do both. I would like introduce you to Willamette Valley Granola Company and tell you about their Granola Chips. Willamette Valley Granola Company has been in Oregon for a few years. They began producing granola in 1973. Forty years later, they still have a passion for making delicious and healthy snacks. For my review, I received a Read more [...]

About a year ago, I decided to make the switch from traditional OTC department store cosmetics to companies who offered safer make-up and skin care. I wanted products that were made with better ingredients. I wanted products that helped me look good on the outside and feel good on the inside. I didn’t have to look very far from my home to find Terra Firma Cosmetics. For my review, Terra Firma Cosmetics sent me a generous collection of their products- Hydrasilk Loose Mineral Foundation, Natural Read more [...]

This week had its highs and lows. Last Saturday, we celebrated my little girls 4th birthday. It was fun. Where did those 4 years go? Then on Sunday, my Mom and two Sisters-in-law joined me for the Biggest Loser run/walk event. It was so much fun. Thanks to Nutrisystem and my hard work, I was able to jog across the finish line! Thirty-five weeks ago, that probably wouldn’t have happened. I completed the race and felt great afterward. It was a super weekend. As the work week started, I had Read more [...]

I have two little fashionistas. At 4 and 6 years old, they have a style that is all their own. Both girls enjoy finishing off their ensembles with “fancy” hair accessories. They are always looking for new hair goodies and have recently started focusing on using and collecting headbands. I can already tell that my two girls have just started to scratch the surface of this new found “love”.  I was really excited when I found Ambrosia Designs and their Infinity Headbands. Ambrosia Designs Read more [...]

My Daughters LOVE their pajamas. The moment they get home from school in the afternoon, until right before they leave in the morning, they are in their pajamas. That’s about 19 hours of pajama time on week days. With that much pajama time, I am pretty choosey when it comes to the pajamas I get the girls. When I look for new pajamas, I want quality materials, comfort and style. All of my criteria were met when I found New Jammies. Founder Nicole Johnson, set out to create a line of children’s Read more [...]

I think one of the most relaxing things you can do is give and receive a massage to/from your partner. Massage is a wonderful way to relax sore and tired muscles while connecting with your loved one. It is a nice way to show them that you love them and care about how they are feeling. My Husband and I recently got to try the Seductively French Citrus Sorbet Body & Massage Candle and Lavande Vanillee Body Cream. Seductively French offers Body & massage Candles, Scented Candles and Read more [...]

In both categories, they Read more [...]

Now that I have lost almost 6 clothing sizes, I am rebuilding my wardrobe with clothing that is versatile and can be worn at both dressy and casual events. I have been looking for quality foundation pieces for a while now. Everything I am seeing in stores and online was indicating to me that I needed to choose between style and comfort. Why must I only have one or the other….can’t I have both style and comfort?   Then I stumbled upon Adea. I knew that Adea was the company that was going to Read more [...]
