Hey Guys, I made through week 15 of Nutrisystem and while I didn't lose much weight this week I am happy I did lose and didn't gain. I have been sticking to my usual favorite foods for the last couple of weeks and have started to incorporate regular foods. My last week is next week on the program and I have to start back on regular food so I've slowly started adding it back into my diet and Nutrisystem makes the transition so great and easy, more on that in my next post! Until next week my friends :) Last Week's Weight: 180.6 This Week's Weight: 180.2 Weight Lost This Week: 0.4 Want to lose weight and get healthy too?

Captain McFinn and Friends: Eliminate Bullying ~ Review

August 27, 2012 By 3 Comments
untitled

If you are anything like me and you have school aged children, as parent you are always worried about bullying, every aspect of it terrifies me. Not wanting my children to be a victim of a bully and even worse not wanting my kids to be a bully. What I have found is that bullying (talks and prevention methods) seem to really be focused on middle school and high school aged children, but what about elementary school aged children? My kids are 10 and 8, 5th grade and 3rd grade and I have already started the talks of bullying with each of them and with the introduction of Captain McFinn and Friends these talks just became easier. About the Book Series: Once the biggest bully on Sand Dusty reef, McFinn, a blacktip reef shark, renounced his bullying ways when the Undersea Friends showed him the virtues of helping and caring for others. The vision of Captain McFinn and Friends is to inspire children to make a difference by doing their very best. Each adventure will show that … [Read more...]

August 22, 2012 By 3 Comments

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Revlon for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I had the chance to try out the Revlon Expression Experiment kit which included a load of fun goodies. Everything you need to create a perfect look for day and night, including base primers for your eyelids and entire face. Revlon even thought of your hands, what's a perfectly painted face with no fun on the nails :) Here is one lipstick   I love how creamy and moisturizing this lipstick is, it felt like I was wearing chapstick :) It is so hard to find lipstick that doesn't dry out my lips.  The beautiful nail polish I used the base coats and two coats of polish and topped it off with one coat of the top coat. The polish glided on my nails smoothly and the color really pops! I think it's a perfect shade for summer    Here is my glam look, I am wearing the makeup primer on my face to even out my skin tone and the red … [Read more...]

DIY: Headband & HairBow Holder

August 18, 2012 By 8 Comments

Hey Guys! After losing many hairbows and not having a proper place to keep Jordyn's headbands I took to pinterest to get some inspiration for a DIY headband & hairbow holder and I came up with this. Here are the materials I used: I thought it would be better on the bare cardboard so I tried to rip the label off and um, yeah that's about all that came off. No worries though it was actually better to keep the label on. I used a sponge brush to brush a coat of Mod Podge on my canister and smoothed my scrapbook paper on it while I was working my way around. I used a credit card to make sure it was perfectly smoothed and to get out any wrinkles or air bubbles. I wanted to jazz up the design a little so I used two different colors and two different sizes of ribbon to line the top and bottom of my holder To finish it off I add a a few jewels I had on hand but were purchased at Wal Mart awhile ago in a set for a few dollars, I used hot glue to set … [Read more...]
