My life be like WOAH!

Okay so I admit it, I have been slacking lately. I have tons of things that I want to review for you all but unfortunately they are packed up in boxes since the beginning of this week. There was nothing I could do about it! To list a couple I have some more Nuby items for my bitty one, a snack taxi, TruKid products, and a potty cover! So much awesomeness, but we are moving this weekend. I don't want to to short change my reviews and get them up just for the sake of reviews on my blog.

I think you all have come to know my quality better than that, or so I would hope! SO on to the boring stuff. I just recently got hired on at Home Depot as a front-end cashier. Not exactly my cup of tea, but I might turn out to like it more than I have liked the training so far! Blogging unfortunately doesn't pay the bills and with having to get a new place, I had to go out and get a job that pays in moolah. We will be moving this weekend from NC to VA so it has been very hectic packing around here with two kids and a hubs that works all day long. I have had no help and I wish I would have taken a picture of the stack of boxes surrounding my itty bitty yesterday as we prepared to take them to the new house.



My son does not quite understand what is going on but is excited to be going somewhere new! I have to work all weekend and every weekend from now on so tonight we will be taking more BOXES to the new house that I end up getting packed today. Hubs will be in charge of furniture and electronics when I am at work this weekend. I feel for him because I only had the itty bitty when I was hauling boxes yesterday. He will have both kids and be doing some heavy lifting work. I wish him all the luck!

I also have not kept up with my Proactiv challenge this week and so I will do an update on Monday for over a two week span. I am actually starting to see results and that is amazing :) Thanks for being so loyal and I will get everything in my life back on track after the weekend.

You can look forward to more reviews, bloggings and mommy ramblings on a more frequent basis and not just giveaways! I wanted to give my readers that chance to win something on my hiatus so there are tons of new ones that went live today(3/1), so click my Giveaway tab and give them a look.


Things will be back to normal soon! <3

Food For A Hungry Ghost Review

Life was pleasantly normal for Gala Rhyce—that is, until her mom moved the family to Flagler Beach, Florida. Now—despite the palm trees, ocean breezes, and cute surfer guys—Gala is miserable…until she meets Trista. Trista makes a great friend, except for one thing: she's a ghost.

The girls learn to communicate, and through Gala, Trista finds a way to experience the world again. As Gala’s romance with a heartthrob poet begins to bloom, her unlikely friendship with Trista continues—until the ghost wants more than Gala can give, and things start to go horribly wrong.

Filled with horror, romance, and humor, Food for a Hungry Ghost is about friendship, trust, jealousy, and boundaries that get pushed too far.

How much can Gala endure? Will she survive the clutches of the Hungry Ghost?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<3----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let me just say that I have read a lot of ghost and haunting stories in my past. I love them all, but this one had all of it in one. Romance, humor, and horror. I was definitely wanting to read more about Gala and her ghost friend, Trista, at the end. I love that it is broken into parts instead of chapters. I always find that if I can read something straight through that I get more out of the story. The way that it was broken into parts was brilliant.  It was a fun and short read for an adult just wanting the thrill of a good ghost story. This book is also kid friendly, which is definitely a plus!

If you want to know more about the author, you can head on over to the blast and giveaway right here!

I guarantee that you will love it and you will not want to put it down.

Grounded Book Blast and Giveaway (2/25-3/10)




Grounded

"All my life I've worked to be simple, but I can't pretend anymore. Nothing about me is simple."

In the year 2050, a secret government study nicknamed Operation Source Code injects eight volunteers with a retrovirus. The goal? To abate the energy crisis by reprogramming human DNA to power personal electronic devices. The experiment works but with disastrous consequences.

Seventeen years later, Lydia Troyer is far from concerned with the energy crisis. Growing up in the isolated community of Hemlock Hollow, life hasn't changed much since 1698 when her Amish ancestors came to America. She milks her cow by hand, makes fresh bread every morning, and hopes to be courted by Jeremiah, the boy who's been her best friend since she could walk.

But when Lydia's father has a stroke and is taken to the outside world for medical treatment, Lydia and Jeremiah leave Hemlock Hollow. An ordinary light switch thrusts Lydia into a new world where energy is a coveted commodity and her own personal history makes her the most sought-after weapon on the planet.

"I am seriously impressed with how the author took the simplistic Amish life and combined it with a futuristic, almost dystopian story line as seamlessly as she did. I highly recommend it." Crafty Cauldron

"I am also a sucker for Amish stories, and love the idea of the new paranormal/supernatural/dystopian twists using them. This book is electric. You are pulled into Lydia's story and keep on reading, trying to find out what happens next.I tried to figure out what I would do if I were in her situation. I am impressed by the strength she is able to find within herself." Andi's Young Adult blog

"I never know what to think when I start reading a book by a new author. But this one was electrifying!!! his book had me on the edge of my seat all the way to the last page. " Taking Time for Mommy

"It begins with the perfect bang, and lights up your mind in ways you may not have thought. As much as it is dystopian it is speculative, and I am all for challenging the minds of the human race." Literary Sweet

"The characters were so well written that I felt like I knew them. Lydia stayed true to who she was and her personality even when she had to make decisions that were not at all what an Amish would have ever imagine anyone would have to make." Delphina Reads too Much

Nuby USA Tickle Toes!!

This product will have your whole family laughing giggling. As soon as I took the tags off and started this little goody up for my 5 month old daughter she went ecstatic. There are tons of characters to choose from, although we got the bear! It is adorable and so soft and plush. Of course, my daughter was eating its foot before we could press the button to make the bear start giggling and laughing. My five year old son thinks that this is just the best, and we had to explain to him that he had a turtle that did the exact same thing when he was his sister's age. It thrills me that it is a toy that he and her can play together with and that they have the best time.

Here is the little bear in all his glory. He is so cute, right? I will show you the turtle that my son had when he was younger and is now retired and on to the next little one that will be enjoying him.



A family friend gave us him because we had nicknamed him Squirt, and of course the movie, Finding Nemo, was big when our son was born in 2008. I would love to have more of these for my daughter because she took to it like she had never lived without her bear.




These are all the other fun little animals! There are so many to choose from. There are also many places that you can find these little critters of happiness and giggles:

HBL Haircare Hydrating System Giveaway (2/21-2/28)

HBL Haircare was gracious enough to allow me to do a giveaway of their wonderful hydrating system. I am in love with it and I will definitely be purchasing more once I run out! It makes your hair feel so smooth and like the damage from heat and products was never there to begin with. I am so excited to allow one of my readers to take home one of their hydrating systems.The system includes a shampoo, conditioner, and hair masque. The shampoo is a great thick consistency, so you won't have to worry about losing half of it in your hand when you go to lather. The conditioner is also of the same quality. You can either leave it in while you use the masque or rinse it out first. The masque is gentle enough that it can be used on an every day basis. There are no harsh chemicals that are used and it is great for every day use for those of us, myself included, that expose our hair to heat and products every day!


You can read my full review of their system here.

Now on to the giveaway! This giveaway will run from 2/21 and end on 2/28 at 11:59 PM. The giveaway is US only.

Start of week 4 Proactiv Challenge

Okay so I have been super slacking this week, and I am just now getting this post up. Monday marked the beginning of week 4 of my Proactiv Challenge that I have been doing. I don't know if my skin is just getting used to the formula or if it's from the stress of trying to find a new place, but I am not really pleased with the results from last Monday until now.



 

The top picture is from last Monday, and the bottom picture is from this morning. I really do not see much change whatsoever, and that kind of bums me out. At the end of this week it will be a whole month on the program and I guess we will see what happens.





 

Same applies, top picture is from last Monday and bottom picture is from this morning. I generally really do not see any improvement, and I use the Proactiv system religiously in the morning and at night. My face is still red and splotchy. I don't really have many bumps that are considered white or black heads which is a plus, but I would still not go out without any makeup on.

That is my goal with a skincare product that is supposed to reduce acne. I want to feel comfortable enough in my own skin to be able to not worry about makeup to feel like my skin is great if I am in a rush to go out and just simply don't have time to apply concealer or foundation.

Let me know your thoughts because I would be happy to know what you use to try and keep your skin looking blemish free, redness free, and healthy!

Carseat Canopy Review

 

I was lucky enough to win A Whole Carseat Caboodle made by Carseat Canopy from Mom 'N Daughter Savings. I won this only two months after my daughter, Rachel, was born so it was perfect timing. She was definitely hating the car seat and we couldn't figure out what else to do to make her more comfortable. She would act as if she was in pain, and to make matters worse the one that we had found for her at a decent price was a yucky dark and light brown. Unless we dressed her super feminine, people would always assume that she was a boy.

Pictured below is the Lovely print from Carseat Canopy, and it is absolutely beautiful. It is a super soft material and she now does not mind the ride in the car and we have no problems with people mistaking her for a little boy instead of a girl.

 



This of course is not my daughter, but the picture from the actual website. I could not get my daughter to smile for the life of me while she was in the seat or keep her legs still. It was always one or the other so the pictures were blurry or looked like we were torturing her for a picture. This baby in the picture was obviously a lot more cooperative.

The only thing I have yet to be able to use is the actual canopy or the cover. When we bought the used car seat there were no rods for a canopy top that came with it. We have to track those down in order to use either of these pieces, but overall my satisfaction with all the pieces that came with this cover is that I am amazed. They thought of everything!

If you want to add some pizzazz to your little one's ride I definitely recommend investing in one of these. They have styles for both boys and girls. Your little one will be riding in style. I actually had a woman tell me that my daughter looked like a princess in her seat and like she was in the lap of luxury while I was out shopping. That says it all!

Tiger Balm Review

I won Tiger Balm a while back and thought it would be perfect for my hubs to try on his sore muscles after work. As soon as we received it in the mail of course we gave it a shot. It has a very distinct smell to it, kind of like Icy Hot. My hubs was not a fan of it whatsoever just because of the smell, but it does do what it says an alleviates sore muscles. Therefore, I told him that he should continue to use it and maybe the smell would rub off on him eventually. I know some people that use products like this and it does not bother their senses after a while.
We gave that a shot and he eventually did get used to the smell and now that we have run out, he is lost without it for the relief that it gave him! For anyone that has neck and back problems from work, this is an outstanding product for that.



I hope to track it down again at a reasonable price so that we can stock up. I would also love to try their other products that they have in their line up.

What is the most romantic book you've ever read? #NaBloPoMo

I don't think that there is quite one book that takes the cake when it comes to romances. I have read so many by Nicholas Sparks that it is hard to pick just one, so I will put the covers from GoodReads of my favs below!

The Notebook is definitely my all time favorite and as you could see from my previous post also my favorite romantic movie as well. There is just something about this timeless classic that makes it into a read over and over again, and I can never get over the movie. It makes me happy, sad, and mad all at the same time.

This is another timeless tale that has been made into a movie. I remember watching this when I was in middle school. I never even knew back then that it was book, and so when I got my hands on the book, I just knew I had to read it. Once I did, I never looked at the movie the same way again. It's another of those fighting for the lovers books. It tears my heart up every time and I already know what is going to happen at the end.

Dear John is one of those that you are fighting for the man in the book. Most of the time it is the woman that is getting her heart broken, but in this case it is the man, John. He has his heart set on his true love and when he returns from duty finds her already married. He is heartbroken and still believes that she is the one for him. This is a must read if you want your heart tugged a little and you want to fight for a character in your mind that deserves the love that he truly wants.

The Last Song I have heard was written for Miley Cyrus, who plays "Ronnie" in the movie version. It is all about a girl fighting for her dreams and wanting to be herself. She then has a huge shock when she finds a truly astonishing thing out about her father. I will not spoil it for those who have neither read it or seen the movie. It is a true tale about love between parents and children.

I saved The Lucky One for last because it ranks right up there with my favorite along with the notebook. I fell in love with the character of Logan Thibault. He is such a down to earth man who asks for nothing. He found a picture while based in Iraq and he feels that the woman in the picture somehow saved him from a tragic incident. He embarks on a journey to find her and once he does realizes that he does love her, he keeps the picture a secret. He is afraid it will tear them apart if she finds out how he came upon her.

I have yet to see the movie version of this one but I am sure I will love it just like I have all the other film adaptations of Nicholas Sparks novels. There are still plenty more that I want to read that he has written.

If you have not read any of these, make sure that you do!
