30 Weeks! 10 to go...

30 Weeks Pregnant, 10 to go...

This Monday I hit the 30 week mark in my pregnancy! I've also hit my 7th month and the third trimester. I have 10 weeks left until I hit the full term 40 week mark.

Baby and I are both growing bigger, I gained a bit more then my doc wanted me to, but that was due to quiting my job and being stressed. I also haven't had a whole lot of money to buy a shit ton of veggies, fruit, salad, ect. 

Baby is kicking me harder and being crazy active now!  baby is losing their lanugo hairs and brain is developing more. They can also open their eyes in the womb now. Baby also will be moving into the head down position soon(Hopefully). 

I have been planning a baby shower for the 25th of August, I will be 33 weeks during that time. 

I feel as if I don't have time to get all the things done I want to. Also being this pregnant it's hard to move things and just do things in general, but I still try. 

I plan on trying to work up until I deliver,  although I'm working very part time now, because working 40+ hours with extreme stress was killing me. I switched jobs. We will see what happens I guess. Kinda nervous of going into labor at work! You never know what will happen. 

I will probably post more now that I'm not super busy all the time. Stay tuned for more pregnancy and baby updates soon.

Lush's Shoot For The Stars Bath Bomb(Lush Christmas 2016)

Lush's Shoot for The Stars Bath Bomb (Lush Christmas 2016)

Paint the night sky

Launch this one in the water and watch it shoot and spin. Stay very still to see the swirling colors of the night sky dazzle in your bathtub. As the calming blanket of shimmering midnight blue unfolds, Brazilian orange and bergamot oils take your skin to heaven as your mood rockets straight up to the stars. -Lush.com 

This bath bomb is 7.0 oz and sells for $6.95. It was a limited edition item only made for the Christmas season.  To me, it had the scent of the Honey, I washed The Kids Scent, a toffee, sugary scent. 

This bath bomb contains cocoa butter, Brazilian orange oil, bergamot oil, gardenia extract, coconut cream, and almond oil for a moisturizing and uplifting bath. 

I loved the smell and moisturization of this bath bomb. perfect for winter skin that is dry from the cold and blasting artificial heat.  I loved the deep blue color of the bath and the glitter in the water was soo mesmerizing. I love it and would re-purchase if it wasn't a seasonal item. :( boo! 

Come Back Soon for some more Lush goodies (Demo,Reviews,Ect.)

Lush's Serendipity Soap Review

This is a review for Lush's Serendipity soap. This is a round, lavender and dark purple soap, that smells like lavender and chamomile to soothe your senses and your soul. 

This soap is made with rapeseed oil, coconut oil, lavender, and chamomile to soothe your skin and mind. The scent is more on the chamomile side with a bit of lavender to me, but I still love it! The lavender and chamomile are great for more sensitive skins, dry skin, and the coconut oil and rapeseed oils help moisturize without over doing it. 

The lather on this is not a high lather, it's more of a medium lather, so you might need to run it a few more times to get a bigger lather, if you like that. I personally like a lot of lather, to know I'm getting clean, and to try to get the scent to stay on my skin. 

If you like calming scents. If you like lavender and chamomile scents you will love this soap. I tend to deeply breathe while washing with soaps like this for a bit of aromatherapy. 

If you'd like to buy/try this soap you can get it at a Lush store near you, or here: http://www.lushusa.com/shower/soap/serendipity/06055.html

I personally love this product, but it's not my top favorite soap ever, but I would buy again and again. 

I'd give it a:

A 

and 4/5 stars

Neutrogena Clear Pore Toner Review

Neutrogena Clear Pore Toner Review

I picked this up at my local grocery store(Cub) after running out of my other toners. I picked up the Neutrogena Clear Pore astringent after seeing the price on the toner, which was 4.00$-5.00$, and was the cheapest one there. The toner is an oil-eliminating and acne prone skin toner with salicylic acid to help treat acne and exfoliate the skin. The formula is made with witch hazel, aloe leaf extract, salicylic acid and chamomile extract. 

The full size bottle is 8 fl. oz. and retails for 5.24$ depending on sales, offers where you get it. The neutrogena website you can pick it up for 5.24$ plus shipping. (http://www.neutrogena.com/product/clear+pore+oil-eliminating+astringent.do?sortby=ourPicks)

To use you just swipe on your face, with a cotton ball after washing your face, or to refresh your face during the day. 

After using this my face felt a bit dry, but it did help exfoliate my skin, and pick up what was left behind after washing my face. My acne was a little bit dried up after swiping this over them. I liked the product. I did notice after a few days my acne was better and after a week my skin was healing from my acne. I love this product now, and I do notice my acne coming back if I don't use this toner as part of a three-step skincare regimen.  

I love this product a whole lot, and will repurchase probably for as long as I have acne and oily skin. And ITS CHEAP which works for me because I'm always trying to save some money on everything. 

I'll give this an A+ and 5 out of 5. Love it! 

This may or may not work for you, but it works for me. I'll keep it. I assume you can buy it at big box stores, amazon, walmart, target, ulta, drugstore, and grocery stores. Google it if you want to know more, or go to the link above. 

thanks for reading, stay tuned for more beauty goodness.

Truvia Natural Sweetener

Have you ever tried natural sweetener? I have! I love it!

I received Truvia through the Influenster's Love VoxBox, it was a box filled with samples to try for free.

Before this box I have never tried sweeteners other then sugar, but it has changed my mind on other sweeteners besides sugar.

The best part about the sweetener is it is natural, and one packet of this sweet stuff equals to two teaspoons of normal sugar.

This product has no chemical after taste like other artificial sweeteners. It is all natural, and delicious.

I recommend this product to anyone who wants to break from their sugar cycle and start living healthier, and preserving their life.

You can purchase this product at any normal grocery store and also online from http://truvia.com

Try it!

You'll love it!
