This post was sponsored by the Role Mommy Writer's Network. The "bars" section of any grocery store can be overwhelming if you aren't sure what your nutritional goals are. A few months ago my boyfriend & I started paying attention to what we ate. We both had been raised with just the basic knowledge of nutrition such as fruits and veggies are "good", meat and dairy products are pretty good and sugary treats are "bad". A few months ago we decided to work on eating better and exercise in Read more [...]

This is a Fashionista Event and a promotional item was provided to me. Hosts for this event are Still Blonde after all these Years and ModlyChic. One of the benefits that comes from my boyfriend & I both being self-employed is we don't spend much time texting or calling each other. We are also almost always at home where we have wi-fi that we use with our tablet to play games or run most apps. As a result, we barely use our phones at all. When I think about how little we actually use our Read more [...]

  Thank you to Mary Ann's Hairtastic with Lilla Rose for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own.

Breast cancer awareness month really hits home for me because breast cancer seems to run in my mom's side of the family. My great-grandma passed away from breast cancer before I was born. My grandma had breast cancer just before I was born, but won the battle. In the last few years, two of aunts (my moms sisters) have also had breast cancer. One won the battle and the other is still fighting. Having so many women in my family with breast cancer is concerning for me, and has made me Read more [...]

Loving Pets sent me dog treats for my review. All opinions are my own. You don't have to click around too much on any dog related forum to find a debate about dog food quality and various dog food brands. It's really common for dog owners to be very passionate about what they do and don't feed their dogs. I have done my share of research on dog food brands and there are certain dog food ingredients that I have avoided since I first got my dogs because I knew that certain ingredients being listed Read more [...]
