I was given the opportunity to try out a new product called naked naturals. It is an all natural shampoo and conditioner line with awapuhi and lavender. After one use of this product my hair felt clean, smooth, and nurtured.
I am always looking out for new beauty products to try and Naked Naturals is a product that you should definitely try for yourself. It smells so wonderful and does the job great. What I loved about this product is that it didn’t weigh my hair down at all. The lavender scent really helped to relax me after a long day with the kids.
For those of you that are trying to grow your hair out you will be pleased to know that the shampoo alone will make your hair up to 7x stronger with daily use. The conditioner has the potential of making your hair up to 3x stronger. I know when I was growing my hair out last year it was so important for me to find a haircare line that would strengthen my hair because the longer you hair gets the more fragile it becomes.
So if you are in the mood to try out a new shampoo and conditioner, try out Naked Naturals the all natural solution to healthier hair.
So many of you know about the “incident” when I complained to Starbucks a couple of weeks ago. Well what exactly did calling and complaining to headquarters get me. $5 Starbucks Card, and 3 coupons for free drinks any way I want them. So for those doubters that think it doesn’t help to complain, in actuality it really does. Not only do you get free stuff but they actually listen to you, take notes of it, address the issue with management at the store (which is a lot more effective when headquarters calls than by me address a manager directly), apologize, and most importantly thank you for bringing the issue to their attention.
I had made a Me-Today video of me calling headquarters but don’t feel like taking the time to upload it. So there you have it folks. I called, I complained, I got free Starbucks.
How much more valuable would an oyster be to you if it produced charcoal, diamonds, or carrots? I personally like the pearls that oysters naturally produce. But if an oyster could make a nice fudgy brownie then we should talk. Oh wouldn’t it be heavenly to crack open an oyster to see a rich, fudgy brownie starring back at you instead. Of course in this fantasy the brownie wouldn’t taste like fish at all. It would be perfectly done and nothing short of absolutely delectable.
Gulf oysters have a Vibrio vulnificus bacteria in them that consumers of raw oyster should be aware of. Now the occasional raw oyster consumed by an individual that can tolerate such food may be fine but the risk is still there. Beoysteraware.com wants to inform you of the risk. If you do not know if you are one of the people that are “at-risk” for consuming raw oysters it is better to not take the chance. Even if you are an at-risk consumer of oysters there are better ways that you can get your oyster fix rather than eating the stuff raw. Try your oysters steamed, grilled, or even fried!
There are times where I will be on the internet just about all day for several days in a row. I am trying to break the habit. I have developed a routine that I plan to try to stick to. As the days get warmer and as I see my children growing up way to fast, I realize that it is way more important to watch my children grow up than it is to waste my life and my kids lives away fiddling on the internet. So my days are constructed as such…
7:30-8:30 wake up time, feed the kids, make coffee, workout (usually 30 minutes of yoga) get kids dressed.
8:30-9:30 educational television for kids, shower for me
9:30-10:30 play time with kidlets
10:30-12:00 beanies first nap, special time with pnut
12:00-1:30 lunch and clean up time, beanies bottle
1:30-3:00 nap for kidlets, work for me (this is the time I get to play on the computer, work do whatever)
3:00-5:00 straighten up, more play with the kids (outside if it isn’t too cold or rainy), start dinner, kids snack time.
The rest of the evening is typically play it by ear.
I have been utilizing this system for about a week now and it is working out really well. In fact, I am turning into a morning person. I know as shocked as I am, I have been going to bed at 10, 10:30 most nights. Incredible. I typically would stay up till all hours of the morning and get up right before noon. Since I’ve started slowly but surely weening myself from the internet, I feel much more relaxed, I am enjoying my family more, and I don’t typically have the aches in my neck that I used to have from being crunched over my mac all day. Now I know there will be days that I absolutely have to be on the computer all day due to deadlines or what have you but my overall goal is to spend less time glued to my computer screen and more time with my children before they are grown and gone. Besides when I am not by my computer then that means I have more time to take beautiful photographs.
Do any of you feel you are addicted to the internet?
Are there days where all you do is surf the net?
Baby Banz is a hit online boutique that sells the most adorable children’s sunglasses and swimwear. The unique thing about the Baby Banz (sunglasses) is that they have a strap on the back of them so that they can easily stay on children’s heads with no worries of falling off. What I love about the swim wear is not only does it come in separates but they also carry full body suites as well. The swim wear blocks 98% of harmful UV rays (UVF 50+) from the sun which is a huge bonus. The material is very colorful and stretchy. Most importantly the fabric is breathable which will really come in handy during those hot, muggy southern summers.
Since spring is knocking at our back door and summer will be here before you know it. Now is the time to be snatching up all the hottest accessories you and your family needs this summer. You can get your kids summer gear from Baby Banz for a very reasonable price.

How often have you been presented with a decision and been blindsided by a feeling inside of you that was hard to explain but just knew that it was wrong? More often than not woman are better at listening to their “gut feeling” than a man is. In marriages this incident often arises, especially in mine. I think that is why God gave women “this sense” to know when something feels fishy or out of place because when your husband proposes an idea to you but you feel there is something not so right about it you probably just saved yourself a lot of heart ache.
Many men don’t like to admit it but they really do value their wives opinions and “gut feelings”. I do not know how many times my “gut feeling” has saved us from going down a bumpy road. It is good to trust your feelings after all there is a reason why we have them in the first place. So even though your husband may be a little hesitant to ask what you opinion is about a certain decision or he might mope around the house because he “didn’t get to do what he wanted to do” just know that if your gut feeling says its wrong then it probably means it is wrong in almost 99.5% of the cases. As wives we are our husband’s balance and even though we might not have the finally say so in the final decision, our husband’s will value what we feel is right and will more than likely listen to us if we voice our opinions after all husband’s are made to want to provide and please their wives.
