Perfect Portions Digital Scale + Nutrition Facts Display {A Review}

Perfect Portions Digital Scale + Nutrition Facts Display

 

Weight...

Which is normally an ugly word in this house...

BUT..

 

DIET...

 

 

 is an even more horrid word! It's right up there with taking the Lord's name in vain. We just Don't do it around here. We don't talk about being on one, needing one, nothing... because normally it means that the convo is about me. And if your talking about me, with me, and the word diet slips over your tongue and past your lips and makes sounds coming out...well there is a good chance I might eat you alive.

I just can't handle it...

You see I have a major weight complex. I grew up with an amazing Mother whom I was so, so, so blessed to have. But she was over weight. fat. obese. It makes my stomach tie in knots just typing those words out. I never wanted anyone to focus on just her weight, she was so much more in life then being bigger. And then there was me. She always made me feel so proud to be skinny. My entire identity was wrapped up in being the cute skinny one. She would always tell people...
 " Yes, that's my daughter, the skinny one." and she would just beam saying it. It made me so proud to be her 'skinny' daughter. But I never realized how much of me was about being the skinny daughter until I was no longer skinny. Until I was no longer young, cute, and thin.
I do have some health issues that might be a factor in my weight gain and I have had 3 beautiful babies but the truth is, I never worried about my weight and health before now; I didn't think there was no need to, I was still thin. So now I am learning perfect portions, how much of each thing I should be eating because - even to much of a healthy thing can be unhealthy.

About the Scale:

The scale is extremely easy to keep clean, which in my house anything kept clean is nothing short of a miracle! The entire top surface including keypad is a sheet of glass. There are no indentations to trap food or germs. The code book is printed on good quality stock and coated so it is quite resistant to soiling, which I became aware of when I kept looking through it with dirty fingers from cooking!

This scale comes in 5 different colors: red, blue, silver, black and white. I received the silver scale for my review. The scale has a total of 1999 foods stored in memory- AND you can add up to 99 of your own foods!! How awesome is that?! That is crazy impressive to me! But then again I am like a 90 year old Alzheimer patient when it comes to memory! So half that would have impressed me! HAHA

There is also the added befit that if you happen to be diabetic, this scale can save these totals; so it is an excellent solution for diabetics.
It comes in handy with someone like my husband who has had to have stomach surgery due to an ulcer and has to watch the amount he eats along with what he eats.

This scale has come in handy more often then I thought it would honestly. We are using it every day now for every meal. It has helped us figure out how much is in each meal and how much to give each person on their plate.
We want to teach our children that healthy habits now lead to healthy habits later, and this scale has been a great tool for doing so.

Vitamin C Serum

Vitamin C Serum

{A Review}

 

I wasn't one to use "beauty" products before I turned onto the down hill side of 30,  but in the last year or so I have seen my skin change a great amount and not in the best of ways. I have seen more wrinkles, more age marks, and death valley has nothing on me when it comes to being dried out!

And in walks this vitamin C serum to the rescue! This serum has helped with my over dryness, the lack lusher look of my skin, and with my fine wrinkles and lines- like my crows feet, which have a tendency to make me look way older then I want to look.

 

I don't expect any treatment to be a magical cream/serum/ lotion etc... I don't think that anything is going to work over night, and I don't even expect it to have any results in 2-3 days. 7 days maybe, but I was shocked when I did see a difference in about 3-4 days with this serum. I use it with my Derma roller {You can read about the derma roller Here} and the bags under my eyes are lighter, the crows feet are a little thinner, and my face isn't as dry - all within about 4 days or so.

This is a brand that I would purchase again, because I feel it delivers on what it says it will deliver on. I don't feel like I have been ripped off and the wrong end of some beauty joke.

Deep Cleansing Facial Oil

Deep Cleansing Facial Oil

{A Review}

 

When you think of cleaning your face, do you think of doing it with oil? Or does the thought of oil make you shutter, the thought of your face breaking out in a million zits and looking like high school all over again? Well, it might not have been y our thoughts but it sure was mine. I thought "How the heck can OIL CLEAN my face!?"

The oil that Insta-natural sent me is amazing when it come to taking off my make-up. It takes off my eye makeup so easily that just a simple couple of swipes is all it takes. I just put a tiny amount on a cotton square and BAM all gone! Even my mascara, which is no thing short of a small miceral to be honest. I have started using Cover Girl's Bombshell mascara and although I LOVE the way it looks it's like dried up concrete trying to get it off of my lashes at night. And this cleansing oil does the trick every time without pulling all my lashes out in the process! Win / win for me!

 Because my skin does tend to freak out at even the thought of oil, I use this cleaner to take off my make up and then I wash my face with a sea salt acne medicated bar of soap. This may not be the case for  you though.

I would buy this just as a make-up remover! It's that awesome!

NuElle Triple Action Anti Cellulite Concentrate

{A Review}

 

 

 

Cellulite... such a dreaded word for so many, including me! And yes, sad to say I have some. Mainly on my saddle  bags and buttocks area. I know TMI! I have been using this cream for about 3.5 weeks now and so far I have seem a little less ripples! At first I wasn't using it as often as I was suppose to. There are times when I enter my room at night make a beeline to the bed and pass out. Those nights nothing gets done!  I think with prolonged use this cream would have some good effect on my ulgy ripples. I don't expect there to be magic done over night, I do know that it is going to take a while. So a while is what I am going to give this product. I figure at least the entire bottle right?
I say it's totally worth the try!

IPhone 5 Armband

IPhone 5 Armband 

Pro Athlete Quality

{A Review}

 

I am NOT a runner..........
I like the thought of being one of those cute, bouncy, runners- someone doing 5ks and killing it. But my knees and all the problems that they have scream at me in pain at just the thought of running even a block. They would turn into knees the size of grapefruits.
 I love going to the gym, but it doesn't happen nearly as much as it should. BUT I have this amazing work out partner She keeps me on point and on track and she kicks my butt when I need it. And it helps that she lost the weight that I cam currently trying my darnest to lose, so she understand the daily battle that I face. But there are days that we don't work out together- with kids, work, husbands, houses to run, etc. things sometimes pile up and a work out together just doesn't fit into the hours we have in our days.
The days that this happens I work out at home normally at night {because it's the only time I can do it kid free} and although I like the music that is on my work out video some times I just want my own. I don't need to hear the instructions after all this time working out to it, I know it pretty much by heart and just follow the movements- which are dance movements. And trying to do these dance movements, sweating my butt off { or at least I hope I am!}, and holding my phone so I can use it with my ear buds doesn't work out all that well.... In fact it doesn't work out at all.

Ever since I got the armband to try, life during my workouts has been easier! I can turn my phone to my work out set, plug in my ear buds, slip it into the case and go! I love it!
Even though my arms are on the bigger side {with any luck, hard work, and prayer not for long!} this arm band stay put, it doesn't cut into my arm either. It's just plain comphy which is awesome. I don't worry about my ear bud cord not being long enough, my phone coming out of my pocket, or dropping it. Since I know that with this armband it's not going anywhere. And I don't have to worry about sweating my phone in to a black hole of death either. Since the phone is totally encased in the armband I don't get it all sweaty! And when I do take Max {the toddler} out for a walk I can slip in my house key into the special pocket, made just for that- your key- and go.
This is a great buy, it works well and it's made well so that it will last.

Abigail and the Jungle Adventure, E-Book {A Review}

 Abigail and the Jungle Adventure

Written By: Tali Carmi

 E-Book

{A Review}

 

This is now one of our new favorite bed time reads, this is a story about a sweet girl visiting her grandparents. While there she goes exploring and discovers a magic bike, this bike takes her around the world to the jungle. This is a great read for bed time, not so short that your child will feel like there isn't enough and it's not so long that you feel it drags on forever.

The story is positive the entire way through and ends on a sweet "note" - a moment between Abigail and her grandfather. This story shows how with a little bit of child innocence and faith you can make it anywhere, even if it's just your child's imagination. 

The book has great illustrations with great colors, that kept  my 2 year old enticed through out the entire book. He loved pointing out things to me- trees, feathers, etc., etc...

  I will be looking for more books by this author, we are now big fans!

Weight Gurus Digital Bathroom Scale {A Review}

Weight Gurus Digital Bathroom Scale

{A Review}

 

 

Now is there anyone who really wants to talk about their weight? I mean come on? Honestly? Not unless you have just lost a bunch of weight, are already "skinny", or your depressed and you know misery loves company....

 

well, those are normally the reasons anyways.. unless you happen to of gotten an awesome scale and  you want to brag on it a little...

 

I was offered the Gurus digital bathroom scale to try out and I love it! I don't love the number that pops up when I stand on it - not even the number that pops up when I half stand on it, but I'm working on that. It's the slowest hike that I have ever climbed in my life...

 But the cool thing about this scale is that there is a QR code that pops up on the screen after you have weighed your self so that you can scan it with your phone, tablet, etc. and track your progress. And if it was a "good" number then heck just gaze at it thought out the day! HA. HA. Remind your self how awesome you are doing!

Want one of your own yet? Because you know you do!

Vitamin C Serum by Day by Day Beauty {A Review}

Vitamin C Serum

Sold by: Day by Day Beauty

I have to say, until I hit that age old magical number of 30 years I never reallllly thought about my face, skin, and aging. Now that I am on the other side of 30, my expression lines aren't going away, I still have ugly breakouts, and I now see fine line and some not so fine lines I think about it all a lot more! I really like this serum, the ingredients are organic and natural which is why I believe the bottle is the size that it is, so that is doesn't "go bad" or at least that is what I think anyways. I even love the smell of the product! And YES, it works well, very well in face. From the first time that I used it, I could tell the " I have kids and never get any good sleep" circles under my eyes were lighter and softer looking. My skin has started to clear up as well. I didn't look like a teenager with an exploding face in the first place but as an adult the one or three huge zits I had were enough to make me feel like one. And although I still do get a zit every once in awhile, this serum seems to help my skin clean up faster then it did before I was using it.

 

Here are some Good/Pros and Bad/Cons:

 

Good/Pros:*Really helps with facial wrinkles and fine lines
*Helps makes my skin feel hydrated, and it lasts most of the day
*Works well even under my make-up
*It can be used to deal with unwanted blemishes, zits, etc.
*It only requires a small amount to cover your entire face and neck so it will/can last quite a long time
*Made from natural and organic ingredients

 

Bad/Cons:

*I do wish the bottle was a bit bigger, because of the price but understandably, I "get" why it is the size that it is.

 

 

 

In all honestly I don't really have anything bad to say about this product, it works well, does what it says it will do, it's made out of good things and not chemicals, even the little blue glass bottle it comes in is cute- or at least I think it is. It smells good and doesn't take a ton each time you use it. I apply it to my face and then use my Derma roller on top and have been getting awesome results.

Natural Facial Moisturizer

{A Review}

 

 

I was pleasantly surprised at how well this face moisturizer worked for me. It's on the thicker end of lotions, but it didn't make my face break out and my skin was so soft after it was all soaked in. It didn't leave my face feeling all 'cake-y' either and I can tell the difference when I put on my make-up as well. This is a brand that I would buy often! And the best part is that it doesn't take very much to cover your entire face, neck, etc.. so the jar will last a good long while!

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) Moisturizer Cream by InstaNatural {A Review}

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) Moisturizer Cream

 by InstaNatural

{A Review}

 

 

 

Moisturizer has never honestly been all that friendly to my face...
 It tends to break me out and make my face feel heavy and like I have something caked on it regardless of how little I use. This moisturizer to my shocking pleasure was not any of those things! It's light feeling, hasn't made my face break out, and I don't have to use very much to get the results that I am wanting. Or to get my entire face covered. Which is wonderful! I love the smell of it as well, makes me think of a high class beauty salon which I just so happen to love the smell of. Like a higher class I only pretend in my mind to be part of! haha!
It even has helped my skin tone even out, who wouldn't want that?!

 Here is what the company has to say:

FIGHTS ACNE & HYPERPIGMENTATION: Niacinamide has natural anti-inflammatory properties that actively work to even your skin tone by reducing breakouts and blemishes. It also soothes your skin to minimize redness, blotchy spots, and age spots.

FIRMS & PLUMPS SKIN: Apply the Niacinamide Vitamin B3 Serum regularly to shrink pores and plump skin while achieving a healthy glow. This skin lightening treatment is the perfect solution in order to achieve a brighter, smoother, more youthful complexions

REVITALIZE NOW PHYTOCERAMIDES {A Review}

REVITALIZE NOW PHYTOCERAMIDES

{A Review}

Phytoceramides..............
 say that three times fast, heck I don't know if I'm even saying it correctly the first time!

I haven't been taking them for very long and even though my face still breaks out I can tell the difference in my skin from fine lines ( I have hooooooorrible crow's feet already started from squinting), my dark under eye circles- which are now lighter, to the younger looking skin on my neck and hands.

I think that the longer I take this the better things can only get for me! Who doesn't want better looking skin? And doing it from the inside out.... easy! They come in a pill form and are easy to sallow.
I'm not always one to keep up with the 'latest' thing, but to my slight surprise phytoceramides are becoming huge in popularity, as people turn to more natural things
Which I am a HUGE fan of!

Hyaluronic Acid Serum {A Review}

Hyaluronic Acid Serum

{A review}

When I first was sent the hyaluronic acid I wasn't even sure what it was suppose to do for me and my face.
So like most things I headed to the internet and find out.
I found this article by Live Strong that simply explains it. Basically it helps fine lines and wrinkles.
So crows feet here it comes!
I have been using this product for about 3 weeks now and for 30+ I have pretty deep crows feet, I tend to squint a lot. I have seen improvements on both my crows feet and the fine lines around my eyes since starting this.
I think with prolonged use there could be a lot of improvement, but for 3 weeks I am happy so far with the results.
The gel isn't bad smelling either, which is a plus. And it glides on smoothly and softly. I put this on after I use my Derma Roller ( you can read all about it Here) so that it is absorbed completely into my skin.

Derma Roller by Petunia Skincare {A Review}

Derma Roller

by Petunia Skincare

{A Review}

When you think of things to do to your face- beauty care treatments, facials, creams, lotions, etc... Needles normally doesn't come to mind!
 When looking at the roller it looks super scary, I can't even lie...


 I am getting a little older, I'm on the 'wrong' side of 30 and seeing some signs of aging. Since everything seems to make me break out like a teenager and I hate when my face explodes, I was willing to try this derma roller from Petunia Skin care to help out things... like my crows feet.


 I don't plan on looking 21 again. I wouldn't even want to honestly... 25 heck yes, but not 21 haha.

Here is some information on how derma rollers work:

Information Here

 Since my pain tolerance isn't that high when it comes to my face, I don't roll with hardly any pressure at all. I have seen slight changes in my skin and the facial creams I use absorb what seems to be a millllllllion times better then before. That is enough right there for me to keep using it. I don't use it under my eyes, on the eye lids, or on my lips. Lord knows I don't need any bigger lips! Ha.

I want to try this out on my stretch marks and see how well it works.  That is for another post on another day.

Navigating Emotions for
Parents E-book+ Giveaway

{A Book Review}

I hate to admit it but I more times then I want to be am a "blow-up" type parent, what I mean by that is that I tend to blow up and yell even though that's not anything like I want to be. I grew up with parents that tended to blew  up, even as wonderful as my parents are. They had/have their faults after all they are only human. And I have become one as well, and I hate it. I hate getting so mad at the actions of my children that I lose my temper and scream at them like I'm on drugs and losing my mind.
It's not who I want to be, not as a parent or as a Christ seeking woman and wife. And I tend to blow up at my husband over stupid things. I don't think that there is ever been a time or reason that I needed to blow up at Mike, that's just tends to be my knee jerk reaction.

I was excited to get this book and start reading it, I knew that if the tips and principles were practical then it would work for me.
 And there are, The book is well thought out and written so it's easy to understand.
The book teaches you to be S.A.F.E. which means:
S – Stop and notice.
A – Acknowledge and accept.
F – Feel fully.

E – Exit if necessary and express when helpful.
and this means that:
Potential results: You transform a potential blow up into an opportunity for reflection, relaxation, emotional responsibility, positive modeling, and connection.

 The book it easy to navigate through and is an easy read, it will be a book that you come back to many times to remind your self and to refresh your mind of things.

The website is as helpful as the book is, there are opportunities to be part of webinars, to contact and even to meet Amy Phoenix the author, or even just use the site a to learn more.
 I am still learning, I believe that learning to be a parent never stops from the moment that you conceive your blessing.
