I ordered them to see if I could do a simple version of the Max Hydration Method (MHM) with the products. The reason behind THAT was to see if the MHM would reduce my hair tangling and knotting, which… Continue reading Recent Purchases and Window Shopping
By far the most fun exercising I've done to date is exercising spontaneously with the boys. Recently this was Light Saber exercising with the oldest and leg lifting with the youngest (see videos below). Fun, natural exercising/play with the oldest (great for cardio!): https://youtu.be/1lhY9RToAcg Fun play with the youngest: https://youtu.be/eEb6DH9olIY Thus far exercising in general… Continue reading Exercising: Reflections Thus Far
On November 9th, my husband and I celebrated our 10th anniversary. We will take a special vacation this summer. On the 9th, however, we decided to do a little something: We dressed up, ate at a burger place we'd been curious about, ordered some of our favorite gourmet desserts, and basked in new, good music.… Continue reading 10th Anniversary Hair, Dinner, Dessert, and Music
I was the only one who knew what my youngest's craft project was: Husband guessed that it was a Thanksgiving turkey. The grandparents had no clue (guessed PIZZA).

And it was near impossible to get one of the… Continue reading Food Review: Patty’s Pie, Krave, Paleo Frozen Dinner, Luvo Frozen Dinner, Abs Diet Guac & Tuna, and Abs Diet Oatmeal Mix
After reading about the damage that non-seamless combs do to hair -- especially fragile hair types like mine -- and after watching two Green Beauty YouTube channel videos (this video and this video in particular), I felt the urge to invest in a nice, seamless comb to reduce mechanical damage to my hair.

Yesterday God infused amazing inspiration into my morning and day. I was so grateful! I could write pages and pages about it. I'll just share two of the most impactful things: 1: Switchfoot's "Dare You To Move" came on the radio. Maaaaaaaannnnnnnnn, that song! Those lyrics!!! I was singing in the car by myself at… Continue reading [Report] Day 2: Inspiration/Soul
I purposely did not prep my breakfast last night: The morning before I'd prepped a bowl of oatmeal with honey, flaxseed, and pecans . . . and in the morning I just added half a banana and milk before zapping it in the microwave. (It was so satisfying and health-infusing, by the way!). But THIS… Continue reading [Report] Day 2: Dieting/Eating
