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.

Gold Fun Review

Lush: Gold Fun Review

Treat your inner child (and your kids) to some good, clean FUN. This multipurpose bar is a soap, shampoo, bubble bath and malleable toy all in one colorful and sweetly fragrant package. Even better? 2.5% of FUN sales are contributed to the LUSH FUNd, supporting charities in Fukushima, Japan that create safe places for children to play outside. *Lush Cosmetics*

I got this as a smaller lush haul in the end of July. I got two gold fun bars because I love the smell of the toffee/caramel scent from lush! The fun bars are 6.95$ for 7.0 oz. of product in a bio-degradeable wrapper. 

This product is a great value for anyone who wants to try lush out, but doesn't have a lot of money to invest in it. it is a 3 in 1 product. 

The 3 products it can be are:

~Shampoo~

~body wash/soap~

~Bubble bath~

you can crubmle this up and run under water for a bubble bath that is greatly scented and last a long time. You can grab a piece to use as a awesome body wash/soap and also as shampoo for your dirty locks of hair. 

I absolutely love this prooduct and will repurchase as often as I can to keep up my stock in the product. plus it's easier on my wallet also. 

A 5/5 and an A++ product!

stay tuned for more lush goodness soon,

Ashley

Currently Reading: July/August 2016

Currently Reading: July/August 2016

In this terrifying prequel novel to the New York Times bestselling Asylum series, a teen is wrongfully committed to the Brookline psychiatric hospital and must find a way out—before he becomes the next victim of the evil warden’s experiments. With the page-turning suspense and unsettling found photographs from real asylums that led Publishers Weekly to call Asylum “a strong YA debut,” Escape from Asylum is perfect for fans of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

The nightmare is just beginning.

Ricky Desmond has been through this all before. If he could just get through to his mother, he could convince her that he doesn’t belong at Brookline. From the man who thinks he can fly to the woman who killed her husband, the other patients are nothing like him; all he did was lose his temper just a little bit, just the once. But when Ricky is selected by the sinister Warden Crawford for a very special program—a program that the warden claims will not cure him but perfect him—Ricky realizes that he may not be able to wait for his mom a second longer. With the help of a sympathetic nurse and a fellow patient, Ricky needs to escape now.

Set long before Dan, Abby, and Jordan ever walked the hallways of the Brookline asylum—back when it was still a functioning psych ward and not a dorm—Escape from Asylum is a mind-bending and scary installment in the Asylum series that can stand on its own for new readers or provide missing puzzle pieces for series fans.

I will post a review when I finish this book. I'm not reading how I used to because I work a lot now. but I still read in my off time. I am loving this book so far though! I love my YA Paranormal/Fantasy.

stay tuned for more reading/book stuff soon
