Boy its been a long August!

I swear this August has been the busiest month for me. With summer coming to an end, school beginning and all that comes with school, getting up early, band practices, fighting with the girls to actually attend school. It just seems like it has lasted an eternity.

Been going through some medical issues lately, Nothing I really want to talk about just yet, but it is also a very big reason why I have been feeling so stressed out lately. Along with just exhausted! I am so tired. I could get a full nights rest and wake up ready for bed.

See that pup there in the picture? His name is Silas. That poor pup was so mistreated. His whole life has been void of love, and caring. He is a foster. He came to me barely unable to walk, the previous person caring for him had starved him. He was locked in an outside crate with no human contact and has suffered physical abuse. BREAKS MY HEART to know that people can do this. I freaking seriously dislike people at times. I would choose an animal over a person anytime. There are no hidden agendas ..... just pure love.

Either way .... this foster pup soon as he arrived I was on a mission to show him how he should have been treated. I swear, this dog just doesn't know how to be a dog. Didn't know what playing was. Its been a couple of weeks now, he has come a long way, and I was thinking he should be a FAILED FOSTER! meaning .... I would keep him. Should be foster but he needs to be family.

I got hit in the face with reality of THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON .... just maybe not the reason you think it should happen.

I swear, I was like ... seeing that picture on Dee Dee's page and taking him in, it was meant. He was meat to be mine. Turns out, I was wrong. I have already found a family for Silas. A couple who just lost their dog "Their baby." When nick told me they wanted to adopt him, I was like NO! I was finding any reason what so ever on why they cant. But when you see a womans heart break, and know that the only way she will heal, is having something to love .... and knowing Silas ONLY wants to be love and needs a lot of it, if he was to come out of this pity mess he had become due to his past. The instant love .... I knew the reason Silas had come to me. He wasn't for me ... just for me to save and keep safe while the stars were arranging his true fait.

I am still sad, he isn't even gone yet ... but I feel that void.  let my heart completely fall in love with this pup. He really is one of those dogs who only want love. Marley ... that's my dog. I swear all he cares about is treats! Food seems to rule his life, he is so busy running around being crazy for food that he hardly ever just lays his head in your lap.
Silas .... could care less about treats, even though I am forever trying to get him to eat them anyways .... we are still working on upping his weight. He was skin and bones when he got here. But this dog, LEGIT only wants to be pet.

 I read an article once saying dogs don't like hugs .... This dog, yearns for them. I have never seen a dog smile "Sept for Marley when he is about to go outside for the first time of the day, or you just got home from a long day out." But Silas .... you can see sheer happiness in his eyes. Sounds silly maybe but you can see his heart through his eyes. Maybe its hope. He has such a strong loving spirit.

Either way ... lesson there. Things do happen or a reason, maybe not the way you want them to happen, but the things that happen, deff serve a purpose.


It's Friday ..... I am so thankful. First week of back to school has been accomplished and its a three day weekend. I very much so look forward to sleeping in.

Today is britt's first game where she will be marching in band for. I am so excited for her. I still have not wrapped it around in my head that she is in high school now.

I am seriously feeling so old.

Thanks for stopping by and hanging out with me for a little while, I sure hope that you are having a good day :)

Phytoceramides Skin Therapy Supplement Review.

Okay .... If you are like me, you are thinking "Botox in a bottle? Yeah right!"




WRONG!





Dr. Oz wasn't lying about a few of his rants and raves.


First, This isn't a magic cure for age. It will not take you back 30 years. You will not go from looking 60 to looking 40. Here is what it does do.

One, I noticed better tone. This pill does what toners claim to do. But you do not have to risk a skin reaction by trying multiple products.

Two, I did notice my face tighten. I will not lie and say that it took away a double chin, or sagging under eye circles, But I did feel it tighten. Which the odd thing about that was that it still felt pliable.

Let me think of how to explain this,

You know mud masks? How when you leave them on for the ten minutes your face feels right and stiff, you can literally see your eye brows raised because that mask is pulling your face. Well, it feels like a light version of that, but at the same time, your face is moisturized. It doesn't feel dry .... just, ugh, I wish I could explain this better. You feel closer to your skin.
So I do believe it is doing something.

It is not drastically noticeable to the eye, as it is to how you feel in your skin.

I did notice that I felt fuller. I have bad under eye circles so my face tends to look sunken in. But any angle I went for while taking that selfie, was an okay angle.

It is not a miracle worker, but it does change the appearance of your skin slightly. I still have crows feet, they didn't disappear, but they aren't as defined either. Maybe this mixed with a few other things I have been trying together have found a way to work.

all in all, my skin feels healthier. I still look like I am aging, but I love the way my skin feels.

Best Nut Milk Bag

The title says it all .... It really is the best.



I have never really been one to make my own juice, but since I have been on a health kick, I have been giving it a try. I had a new juicer (In the since that you squeeze and orange on this little orange thing, etc. I do not have the expensive ones.)



Either way ... I juiced a few oranges and Wooohoo, orange juice. Although, I was not good at it. I have serious issues with texture and every time a string or clump of orange hit my throat, I gagged ... to the point of yaking.

I saw this nut bag ... read what it was about and thought "What have I got to lose?"

When it came in the mail, I was excited. Mainly because I had given up trying to make my own juice until it got here. Morning rituals of almost getting sick was not really my idea of awesome.

So I squeezed the oranges .... pour the juice in this back, and squeezed it into my cup. It said you only have to do it once. but I did it twice, JUST IN CASE. It's really not a big time difference.

Either way... NO CLUMPS!! I made juice! I made juice that I could drink! I did my little nerdy dance and then made another cup. Not because I needed it. But because I could.

FIRST THING I LEARNED ABOUT WASHING THIS ... Don't stick it in the washer. AND IF YOU DO, don't use fabric softner. You can deff taste it!

I would suggest hand washing it, dish soap and make sure that it is completely rinsed before making some juice.

Next thing .... I haven't noticed any build up, any molds .. so it really is reusable!

I haven't used it for coffee yet, but I pretty much plan on trying it with everything.

YOU ARE NOT wasting your money when you get this thing! It is worth it!

If you are interested in getting one of these for yourself .... I have a contest on facebook going!

Perfect Probiotic review

I decided to give these a try, While I did get a free bottle, it had not yet arrived. Luckily I had a friend who has been using it had a bottle and gave it over.

 .... I have been dealing with depression lately, and the stuff my doctor prescribes makes me feel numb. In fact, I do not feel like myself at all.



This stuff was supposed to improve your mood, and I thought. Hmmmmm ... what the hell. Lets give it a shot.



Bonus on top was that it also was supposed to relieve a sensitive stomach, I have issues with that, it seems everything I eat upsets my stomach, so this was a big bonus.

Another plus ... it is supposed to help you lose weight. Which I really just need help maintaining.

FIRST OFF ....... I did notice that I had more energy which in turn made me less grumpy, less mopey. I was tired, extreme tired by the end of the day. But they helped me get through my day.

Second ... there are still foods that did upset my stomach, but I noticed that I wasn't as harsh. I wasn't doubled over in pain. It was not a cure, but did make it more tolerable.

Weightloss .... not so much. But then again, I was not dieting. I ate whatever I wanted and I was not trying to lose weight.

I will not say that these are great for depression. But I think for a normal person who is not going through depression. I think they would improve their mood ABSOLUTELY!

I think that someone trying to lose weight on top of the rest ... could get good benefits. It does curb an appetite slightly. But I would not choose these for weightloss alone.

Its not  a cure for IBS or anything ...... but it does help. I do not understand how. But it does.
While these are not for me exactly. I do think that they could benefit others. It benefits sarah, she has been using them for about 3 months. According to her, it took roughly 2 and a half months to start seeing full benefits. So you have it ... someone it REALLY WORKED FOR, and is still working, and someone who tried it a month, had so so results and might have had better results if I had continued.

Ageless by Thera Vita Review

Okay .... so we have tried them all. Serums, creams, etc. Trying to reduce the appearance of age. I myself have been fighting the battle to keep youth alive. So I am willing to try anything.



First thing, the smell. Smells a lot like sunscreen. You get hints of lavender and what smells to me sage once it is soothed into the skin.. It isn't a bad smell at all. But it is definitely not odorless.



Second thing, is the bottle.... If you are like me and a sucker for packaging. This one does not fall short in appealing to the eye. Silly as it sounds, it reminds me of the movie "Jurassic park." You know the shaving bottle that has all the tubes in it that contain the secrets of life "At least of those dinosaurs. That's what holding that bottle in your hand feels like. Futuristic. Like it contains magic. Or like a baton during a  relay race. Either way, I love both of those things. I have issues maybe. But the silver and the design, it just feels like that to me.

Texture on your face. You get a cool wet feeling at first that soothes into nothing. Feels like nothing. I use this when I am going makeup less, because even though you can not feel it on your face, it just feels fresh.

I do not know if it is this stuff alone, or the fact that I also use vitamin c serums, and exfoliate daily. But I do see a difference. I was seriously thinking about holding onto that resting "B" Face so that I could keep my face line free, but with the routine I have been doing mixed with this stuff, I think a few smiles here and there will be just tine.

I notice a difference mainly around my eyes, The circles under my eyes are less evident and the crows feet seem less deep. I do not know how to say that correctly. They do not seem as indented.

Fact is ... I love it. I would recommend it alone for how fresh your face feels. But I do in fact see a difference in lines. I can not say that it would take them directly. But after a few weeks of using it, it has smoothed them out. Kind of like using an air brush, the lines are still there, but less noticeable.

Terry Treetop "Where is my home?" Book Review.

We are definitely big fans of the terry treetop series in this house. My daughter Avery LOVES them!



This one is just as well written and easy to follow for young ones as the last few we have read by this author.



This one explores the curious nature of a child, and how something as being curious about a beautiful butterfly can lead them astray to where they find themselves lost.


In this story, you follow terry treetop on an adventure "Finding his way home." He meets a ton of interesting creatures along the way, trying new foods "Thanks to being lost at lunch time." Each and every friend he meets along the way is kind and caring,

finally he comes across a friend who tells him how to get home .... But what it really takes is his favorite all time love "CLIMBING TREES" to truly find his way home.

Once he makes it home he sees again the beautiful butterfly that had led him on his lost adventure. But decides this time, to stay home.

Really is a cute story for kids. My 7 year old thought it was adorable. Her favorite parts where when terry tried different foods and realized they were not for him.

We are big fans of terry treetop, I am pretty sure we always will be.

A strange dream

A dream type diary entry ....... I would like to look this up on dream moods later to see what it means. If it means anything.

The Dream

 

I’m in a room … surrounded by people. We are drinking, Something sweet, and pink. Was delicious. Next thing I know there is a lady who makes another drink, I go to down it like the first one. But this one was different. Pungent. Like a shot of soy sauce. Wasn’t as tasty. I asked her what she put in it … she said something, I think she said papaya, I don’t know. But it seemed legit in the dream. It might not have been papaya, but it was something that started with a p.

Bradly cooper is standing next to me … he is not there with me, but I am getting to know him through someone else. “I say “Balls! I think I dropped something, but I am no longer sure. It has been awhile since I have been awake.

He copies what I say … there is laughter. It is a friendly environment. But I do not really know anyone.

Im skyping …. I don’t know the person. He is asking, do you like golf? I explain I am a  mini golf girl … because I suck at golf. Always lose my balls. “Maybe that’s where I said balls, I dropped something then.”

Either way ….. I am in a middle of an empty room, people are ALL AROUND WATCHING. I can not see them, but I know they are there. I know they are watching. There Is a faceless man …. He is in the next room dancing with a girl. I know this man, but yet I don’t.  I am dancing alone. I FEEL MY ANGER GROW … he is ruining it.

In the dream … he is supposed to be my dance partner. I do not understand why he is dancing with her when he knows he should be with me.

I’m in the center of the room … spinning in circles. Faster and faster. I can feel myself getting dizzy, I know I am about to take a tumble. Just as I begin to fall, I feel his hand. He twirls towards me. There is a lovely dance. Swung in the air in twirls. The dance itself feels like love. He tilts me over for a kiss, I hear the words of the song. “I will always love you.”

“When I woke, this song was bugging the shit out of me, I knew it, but can not place it. TURNS OUT it was Miley cyrus WRECKING BALL.”

Either way …. I am suddenly outside, the rain is pouring, I am placing a child in a car, his or her mother … saying goodbye.

Lightning, I look up… I am surrounded by lightning. I grab the hand of this man and lead him to safety, to watch the storm pass.

 

Next thing I know, I am walking into the bathroom, there is nick. He has a tissue to his face. He has cut his face shaving. He removes the tissue to see if the bleeding has stopped. There is a huge strip of flesh missing from his face. Its gushing blood. I tell him … LEAVE IT THERE, Do not take it off. Its going to take awhile to heal. But he would be fine.

 

Then I woke. Nick woke me up to tell me he was off to work. SUCH A STRANGE DREAM.
