Recently we got the opportunity to review the FarFaria App. (Also available for the iPad, and Android Devices)

{Review & GIVEAWAY} Vita Nut Milk Bag

It was time to make more almond milk and this time I wanted to make more, and experiment with some flavors for the girls, so I pulled out my new Vita Nut Milk Bag and got to work. I followed the same recipes from my Pinterest board and this time just experimented with more honey or more vanilla, and I added chocolate syrup to some as a treat!

I really enjoyed using the Best Nut Milk Bag, it was bigger than the other one I had tried, and loved being able to make a bigger batch faster. I'm not sure what else is left to say other than this was a great product and when I make another larger batch of almond milk I will for sure be using this bag again. Does any one else enjoy making Almond Milk? If so it's your lucky day! You can enter to win on of these bags!!

AZURE NATURALS - ULTIMATE VITAMIN C Serum Review & Giveaway!

I've been letting you peek into my skin care routine lately. I've shown you face masks that I love, and Vitamin C serums that I didn't. I've had the opportunity to review 3 different Vitamin C Serums, 1 that I enjoyed and 1 that didn't quite work for me, today I want to share with you one that I've absolutely loved using, the Azure Naturals Ultimate Vitamin C Serum.

Now if you haven't read my previous posts or know anything about Vitamin C serum (like I did a few months ago), I'd love to share a little information with you. This particular Vitamin C Serum is safe for all skin types. It helps with wrinkles, fine lines, dull complexions, acne and eczema. 

If you caught my last Vitamin C serum review you will know that I wasn't able to use it, that my skin was actually breaking out more and would only clear up if I stopped using it. I was pretty upset and wasn't sure if trying another serum would be a good idea, but I decided that there was no better time to try it. 

My acne started to clear up, and future breakouts while I've been using this product have healed quickly. I feel that my skin looks better. I have always had really red spots right where my nose & cheeks meet, super dry, red irritated spots and I have noticed that this isn't quite the case anymore. My skin is no longer dry there and the redness is almost completely gone. 

I absolutely love this Vitamin C Serum and have loved what it has done for my skin, and am so happy to let you know that you to can have a chance to have a bottle of this for yourself!

Giveaway Info & Dr's Appt

Morning! Before I get into the dr's appointment info, just wanted to tell you about ANOTHER awesome giveaway... this time you can check it out here. It's a bag by Charm Designs, and they are all beautiful!!

So all weekend starting early Saturday I'd been having some real bad contractions, ick! These lasted up through Monday, and even had a few at the my appointment, well they decided since I'd been having them constantly still to go ahead and check...

Dr: What did the hospital tell you, you were dilated to?

Me: Nothing.

Dr: Nothing? Well you're definitely not nothing.

Me: just wondering to self what that means to lost to ask

Dr: WELL, lay back let's check the heart beat... Oh you're having one now....

Me: Yup.

Dr: It's from me checking you....

Me: Ummm... ya I don't want to tell you but I've been having them all day...

Dr: Well try to keep her in till the 19th, stay down till then. Though she is past the danger part, before if she came we would be worried, now there wouldn't be those worries. You'll need to know these 5 things and if any of these things happen come into the hospital or call us.

1. bleeding

2. water breaks

3. contractions 5 minutes apart

4. baby not moving...

** not sure if he actually said a 5th one or not I can't remember**

I also start to see him every week now. Meaning I get checked again Monday. Which means Monday will be another very long painful day. I had contractions and cramping so bad all day, I wanted to cry. Totally worth it, just wondering how much has changed at the next appt.
