<br />
I want to make sure you have a safe Independence Day and I have included some tips!<br />
<br />
<ul><li>When outside for long periods of time, make sure to apply sunscreen, even if it looks a bit cloudy or overcast. You skin will thank you!</li>
</ul><br />
<ul><li>Stay hydrated! You don't want to end up with heat exhaustion on such a fun day. One way to make sure is to stay away from too much alcohol and soda. These are not hydrating and will actually dehydrate you. Stick with water or add a lemon or a splash of juice to your water to mix it up a bit. A good rule is to drink 8-9 cups of water/fluids if you will be out all day. You should rarely feel thirsty.</li>
</ul><br />
<ul><li>Be safe with fireworks! Follow all instructions and make sure to light them away from trees, buildings and dry areas. Light quickly and walk away. If one is a 'dud', leave it alone. Do not attempt to light a shortened fuse. Never light them in your hand.</li>
</ul><br />
<ul><li>Be careful with food at cookouts. Food safety still applies at the BBQ. Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold and use clean utensils and cutting boards.</li>
</ul><br />
<ul><li>Be water smart. Never leave children unattended near water for even a moment. Do not rely on older children to watch the young ones.</li>
</ul><br />
<br />
With just a few precautions in place, your family can have a great holiday and avoid incidents that can be easily prevented.<br />
<br />
Happy 4th of July!<br />
<br />

I know I do, especially when its a gift!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://hammockpack.bigcartel.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hammock Pack</a> is a new monthly subscription service that features a theme and gifts of artisan products. These products include food, accessories, housewares, beauty and more!<br />
<br />
I have to begin by saying that the customer service at Hammock Pack is excellent! I got my Hammock pack very quickly. It only took about four days. I was able to reach someone on twitter very easily as well with questions.<br />
<br />
I got some wonderful products in my Hammock Pack. The June Theme was "Day at the Beach".<br />

Let's take a peek inside, shall we?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.butterpluslove.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Butter + Love</a> Jam Cookies. These cookies came in two awesome flavors and I got two of each cookie. The flavors were Marrionberry Rosemary Sea Salt & Strawberry Balsamic Marjoram. I admit, I was a little leery of trying them because the savory flavors did not initially appeal to me. After one bite, I was persuaded that these were a little bite of heaven! Each cookie had a savory, buttery flavor and the sweetness of the jam inside complemented them perfectly. Butter + Love is located in Brooklyn, New York and they pride themselves on making inventive and quality baked goods. These cookies retail for $5.00.<br />

<br />
Another great item I received was a head wrap made my Etsy shop owner Melissa from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/graceandlaceco" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Grace and Lace Co.</a> This handmade quality item is perfect for someone like me who tries to practice Christian head covering. I was struggling to find a wrap that would be light enough for the summer and this is perfect! I was very excited to see it in my Hammock Pack. I love that no two are the same and it fits comfortably. This wrap retails for $10.00.<br />

<br />
I also was given Lollypops from <a href="http://www.thischarmingcandy.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">This Charming Candy</a>. I got the Fruit Basket set, which features four flavors; Guava Colada, Triple Berry, Watermelon Basil and Pineapple Heaven. I loved the quality! They were uniquely flavored and delicious. I can honestly say that I didn't much like the watermelon basil flavor. It tasted too strange for me. It had a funny aftertaste. This Charming Candy is located in the state of Washington, and they craft all thier goods in The Wandering Cafe. The Lollypops from This Charming Candy are dairy and gluten free. The Fruit Basket Set retails for $13.50.<br />

<br />
To get myself smelling like a day at the beach, I was sent Sea Kelp Ginger Lime Coconut Milk Soap from <a href="http://themefragrance.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Theme Fragrance</a>. I loved the fresh, summery scent, but was honestly a tad disappointed in it's sud action. I like my soaps to sud up well, and this did not. Theme Fragrance also makes other products including oils, candles and Lip balms. I was a tad disappointed when I went to their site and could not find out about the soap as they must not sell it any longer or they are currently not featuring it on their site.<br />

I love lip balm and my Hammock Pack came with some included. I was very pleased to receive Coconut Vanilla Lip Balm from <a href="http://www.dressgreen.net/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">DressGreen</a>. DressGreen makes an array of products including body scrubs, shampoo bars, bath soap and perfume. The products are hand made and include high quality essential oils. The Coconut Vanilla Lip Balm glided on smooth and stayed on for quite a long time. The lip balm retails for $6.50.<br />

<br />
My favorite product by far was a handmade soy candle in Hawaiian Breeze that I got from <a href="http://www.motorcitycreations.com/store.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Motor City Creations</a>. As you probably guessed, they are located in Michigan and all the ingredients used in their candles are 100% vegan. The scent was noticeable but not overpowering and the soy melted evenly. This candle retails for $4.00-$10.00. I was unsure what size my candle was since it did not say on the product.<br />

I highly recommend Hammock Pack as a gift or even a one time mailing. <a href="http://hammockpack.bigcartel.com/about-us" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hammock Pack</a> is only $25.00 a month and you clearly get more value than that in it. It was so fun to be surprised!<br />
<br />
I have to mention, as well, that I loved the way my Hammock Pack was wrapped and packaged. I felt like I was being treated to a little bit of luxury! I really appreciated that the theme flowed well with the products included but also color coordinated well!<br />

What is different about this sports drink? First of all there is ZERO sugar. This is excellent for a diabetic like myself.<br />
<br />
Second, it not only replaces electrolites, but also gives you energy!<br />
<br />
There are also 30 vitamins and minerals in H20 Hydrate.<br />
<br />
I got to try all three flavors.<br />
<br />
~Lychee Lemon Rush<br />

<br />
<br />
Truthfully, I didn't really like two of the flavors, but I really liked the Jostaberry Grape Explotion. I do think they made me feel more energized and ready to work out, though.<br />
<br />
The reason I didn't like the other two flavors was because I think they both had a funny aftertaste.<br />
<br />
I would however reccommend them as it could be just a personal prference in taste.<br />

<br />
<b><u>Jazzy Tuna Melts</u></b><br />
<br />

<br />
~Horseradish sauce (I used Kraft brand, but you could just use a bunch of packets of Arby's horsey Sauce. I won't tell) or mayo and horseradish mixed together to taste<br />

<br />
My cat only gets wet food as an occaional treat (because truthfully he is a fat cat!) so I knew he would be excited.<br />
<br />
He must have been able to smell it right away because when I opened the box, he went to investigate.<br />
<br />
I have to say I am extremely happy with this brand. You know the awful smell most wet pet foods (and even some dry) have? That smell makes me gag! I didn't get as an offensive smell when I opened the cans of cat food.<br />
<br />

Now, I can't exactly say which one tasted the best, because no matter how much I love Newman's Own, I won't taste test cat food ;)<br />

I can say that Mac enjoyed each kind, but seemed to really like the Chicken and Salmon. This doesn't surprise me. When I cook chicken at home, he is there at my feet, begging.<br />
<br />
I am so happy to see some good quality pet food out there! I feel so good feeding my kitty good, organic food!<br />

<br />
A really great tasting one that I have found is Hype.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh0Bmxohs4itZIQCKiCIi2JGtvJ8FIri6yIywAFJf1C9uYyeSGZ7qKiRAGxthUTFj7bcdpamh4ZpPXp3pErZWUIDEzsZMkUhfFoSbDWKe8jfDuDidd6J1z9ZjC41bwmml02N06tZokYU83/s1600/hype_banner_7.3.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="65" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh0Bmxohs4itZIQCKiCIi2JGtvJ8FIri6yIywAFJf1C9uYyeSGZ7qKiRAGxthUTFj7bcdpamh4ZpPXp3pErZWUIDEzsZMkUhfFoSbDWKe8jfDuDidd6J1z9ZjC41bwmml02N06tZokYU83/s400/hype_banner_7.3.gif" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Hype is energy with Vitamins and no preservatives.<br />
<br />
The flavors include Original flavor, Cranberry and Elderberry and Elite, Original flavor that is low calorie.<br />
<br />
Hype also offers something unique in the energy drink market: an organic, taurine, coloring and preservative free variety!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw3oeKIdI4d6L4VWrA9GlZ0EVP9gKFSBukJa_JYalowsY8Tf8dgd1Ths0ZuVhjTtlVlftbdIVFY14quLFJi7UoKIh0dXDC75mrLEDDKUD8dudU1UR-Axv5fCbAWp1ipvY4sbgo5urpeG5T/s1600/hypecollage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="147" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw3oeKIdI4d6L4VWrA9GlZ0EVP9gKFSBukJa_JYalowsY8Tf8dgd1Ths0ZuVhjTtlVlftbdIVFY14quLFJi7UoKIh0dXDC75mrLEDDKUD8dudU1UR-Axv5fCbAWp1ipvY4sbgo5urpeG5T/s400/hypecollage.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I have to be honest, I LOVED the Hype Energy Organic the best. It has a great apple flavor and contains Tea and Aloe Vera and a boost of antioxidants.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHbfSQznVxWvtPhgKeM07UqvUoywxy-bV-NudEAfTP2VzVzky2P8kEzq29s0ydOfiySFwIEPHYk5scoxkO0V-uHIXlm7K7GR-ZbSRm5Ib-23GbedRwZi8GOf1hME8eyc8bEou3f7Ub6rF2/s1600/hype2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHbfSQznVxWvtPhgKeM07UqvUoywxy-bV-NudEAfTP2VzVzky2P8kEzq29s0ydOfiySFwIEPHYk5scoxkO0V-uHIXlm7K7GR-ZbSRm5Ib-23GbedRwZi8GOf1hME8eyc8bEou3f7Ub6rF2/s320/hype2.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I mostly just got to taste them because my husband drank them up so fast! He loved them a lot and he noticed a boost in his energy with no crash. His favorite was also the Hype Energy Organic flavor, but commented that even the Original flavor didn't taste like competitors-it was better!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6kK2maOX7mq3U8Cylz_aZ6fha1l-hIxi5ns3bliJ-73Qb0P8dZoN2BhHoT-m3Tw3_oj4_VuDbqccVlfYg1cB1KeXLrtWMuJ000vYuZi8rA0lUZvtW_kHv1faGynX1q06pchhz1zmWpETb/s1600/hype6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6kK2maOX7mq3U8Cylz_aZ6fha1l-hIxi5ns3bliJ-73Qb0P8dZoN2BhHoT-m3Tw3_oj4_VuDbqccVlfYg1cB1KeXLrtWMuJ000vYuZi8rA0lUZvtW_kHv1faGynX1q06pchhz1zmWpETb/s400/hype6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I think the Hype shotglass was neat as well. You can mix your drink of choice with Hype and they don't mix until you kick back your shot. <br />
<br />
You can find more info on Hype at <a href="http://www.hype.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.hype.com</a><br />

Hype is available for purchase on the Hype website.<br />

I don't know why, but every year when it finally comes, it takes me by surprise. If you are thinking of moving to Montana, understand that while we do have all four seasons, but Summer and Winter really drag on and Spring and Fall seem to not exist at all some years! In Montana, we like to say,"We have 2 seasons; Winter and Construction".<br />
<br />
In any case, we had a scorcher the other day and a friend of mine, Jenna, and her kiddos hit the local park with water features to cool off!<br />
<br />
The kids had a blast, but only after her little man, Brayden got over his fear of the water. Then he was all in it!<br />
<br />
Jaeda, my 9 year old was looking "cool" in her shades.<br />
<br />

<br />
Baby McKenna, Jenna's daughter had fun it the water as well. Her little suit was so cute!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzAyHQDTp903JcIybKI3fCs_SDW0KOBqot6BZz7qEkBACXvB3xW5sTdsRO3vh6tnRnSQzo5II-Sk28S2hFn38V_gLABncOThF7qV1FwMUmYK6g0W_qV95xiGshOcKxSSnaI4NYNYfRsN53/s1600/sunday3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzAyHQDTp903JcIybKI3fCs_SDW0KOBqot6BZz7qEkBACXvB3xW5sTdsRO3vh6tnRnSQzo5II-Sk28S2hFn38V_gLABncOThF7qV1FwMUmYK6g0W_qV95xiGshOcKxSSnaI4NYNYfRsN53/s400/sunday3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I love that my city put these parks with the water features in a few years back. It sure beats the turtles that sprayed water when I was a kid!<br />
<br />
My daughter is such a budding photographer! Take a look at the picture she snapped on myself and Jenna!<br />
<br />

I hope you are having a lot of summer fun!<br />

<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bit.ly/BHCosm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BH Cosmetics</a> has some really neat products! I was given the opportunity to check out their Smokey Eye Palette. It contains so many colors and combinations, I didn't know where to start! I had fun creating all kinds of looks!<br />
<br />
What I most love about Bh Cosmetic's Smokey Eye Palette is how bold the colors are! These are not your low qualify eyeshadows that need to be caked on to get the deep color you desire. What is also great is it stays in place all day, doesn't flake off and I didn't get a crease line.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzd8pqGYRcnkVjTFYs71hTuIEFcTws0bymu2qzaB_1hMbp7cnfoFCJN5AP8ohb0zeg4QZfugyZsbmHDYGXmtVjqpxKILypKWZ3XtDnJqPAFR6TMjFu8BrU7QiaArwNs9piPQnLqyY-ciVw/s1600/bh1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzd8pqGYRcnkVjTFYs71hTuIEFcTws0bymu2qzaB_1hMbp7cnfoFCJN5AP8ohb0zeg4QZfugyZsbmHDYGXmtVjqpxKILypKWZ3XtDnJqPAFR6TMjFu8BrU7QiaArwNs9piPQnLqyY-ciVw/s400/bh1.jpg" width="296" /></a></div><br />
<br />
The collection has so many matte and shimmery colors to choose from to create a ton of beautiful looks. Kick your beauty routine into high gear with the BH Cosmetics Smokey Eye Palette!<br />
<br />
BH Cosmetics features a huge assortment of makeup products. From eyeshadows to blush to lip gloss and brushes.<br />
<br />
I found that the 28 color Smokey Eye Palette was a great value and I was seriously surprised by it's size! It is as large as my hand (and trust me when I say, I have some big hands!)<br />
<br />

<br />
Take a peek at all the colors included:<br />

I am all about cheap, fast and easy-peasy meals!<br />
<br />
This one is super easy and fairly cheap and you get a lot of it!<br />
<br />
First, lets talk about the ingredients you will need:<br />
<br />
<br />
~One can of re-fried beans<br />
<br />
~About 2-2 1/2 lbs chicken breasts (you could also use thighs, I just prefer breasts)<br />
<br />
~1 small can of black olives<br />
<br />
~1 large can of enchilada sauce, your preference<br />
<br />
~A drizzle of cooking oil<br />
<br />
~Large tortillas, 10-12<br />
<br />
~Shredded cheese<br />
<br />
~Green onions<br />
<br />
~Tomatoes<br />
<br />
~Sour Cream<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Start by poaching the chicken breasts, cooling them (this could even be done the night before to speed up the process) and shredding. Place in a pan to brown with a drizzle of oil. Pre-heat oven to 375<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw2QN46qP7CatYmG6J3VR5MBGXVXxrvxB_vi7TFL9lO-7lenUxJwrug0NcSDd9b1BhxJ3IRMnSrvY-jg7g8AwhOnCbZALFbXXGNQ1ECA2Eqjv3hm5B8O0uB2kmjO2LQ_xH4gBStatl5FMe/s1600/100_1369.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw2QN46qP7CatYmG6J3VR5MBGXVXxrvxB_vi7TFL9lO-7lenUxJwrug0NcSDd9b1BhxJ3IRMnSrvY-jg7g8AwhOnCbZALFbXXGNQ1ECA2Eqjv3hm5B8O0uB2kmjO2LQ_xH4gBStatl5FMe/s320/100_1369.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
2. Add the can of re-fried beans. Combine with the chicken. It may be hard to do, so add about 2 tablespoons sour cream and a little bit of enchilada sauce to make it easier to mix. Add olives.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgePb6r5dINXei2X7IkD88vQwAoSrt1DazA68Tdqm5IB3Nc8MH6QBKgXLF0I_z5dV5O7_LKDyG5s-IvvzJuBvDs5Gq7gHBne2eDkI3j5FRDZqh3pTVUt3zCCMwDezP7g6fhqALXUY_mxzcE/s1600/100_1370.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgePb6r5dINXei2X7IkD88vQwAoSrt1DazA68Tdqm5IB3Nc8MH6QBKgXLF0I_z5dV5O7_LKDyG5s-IvvzJuBvDs5Gq7gHBne2eDkI3j5FRDZqh3pTVUt3zCCMwDezP7g6fhqALXUY_mxzcE/s320/100_1370.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
3. Put about a 1/3 cup of mixture in a tortilla, add some cheese and roll up like a burrito. Place it in a cake pan. I use my trusty glass cake pan for this. Make sure you have sprayed or oiled the bottom to prevent sticking. Do this until you have a full pan.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_soB5Ki19skI6BA1EElCB9U912wV1osJ0hB-EsSTEYoUQgayShSmDOUAgBVoY1zda7Qx06ddmjQX3sUE7mzjs2HDHHlbuz0b8tox35rhklH1ifgXXbDryaYJS62-1ja04fLdQ8gt-yVoe/s1600/100_1371.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_soB5Ki19skI6BA1EElCB9U912wV1osJ0hB-EsSTEYoUQgayShSmDOUAgBVoY1zda7Qx06ddmjQX3sUE7mzjs2HDHHlbuz0b8tox35rhklH1ifgXXbDryaYJS62-1ja04fLdQ8gt-yVoe/s320/100_1371.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
4. Drizzle the enchiladas with the enchilada sauce, top with a generous helping of cheese. Top with aluminum foil.<br />
<br />

5. While it bakes, (about 20 minutes or less depending on your oven), cube tomatoes and cut up green onions.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3OQQyeOWQXRlWbLAqQq47KiRmCWAl4gqC5lJWQks8lk80W6wea3hFCFt6veqRUM7tD10D6JqgWGkz3WfkxvfsE5t6swz-e22bgXhvGgDcO_L3i1HzxXwrV2oMlwOiGugMqNHLbiJ8b0DK/s1600/100_1375.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3OQQyeOWQXRlWbLAqQq47KiRmCWAl4gqC5lJWQks8lk80W6wea3hFCFt6veqRUM7tD10D6JqgWGkz3WfkxvfsE5t6swz-e22bgXhvGgDcO_L3i1HzxXwrV2oMlwOiGugMqNHLbiJ8b0DK/s320/100_1375.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
6. Bake until cheese is melted and it looks piping hot, with sauce boiling. Turn on broiler and remove foil. Allow to crisp up for just a few minutes. Keep an eye on it!<br />
<br />
Pull your enchiladas, allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Place on plate and top with green onions, tomatoes and sour cream! YUM!<br />
<br />

<br />
TIP:<br />
This is a very good way to use up leftover turkey at Thanksgiving! I just shred some bird and use it in place of the chicken. My husband loves it!<br />

I was hit by a car as I was crossing the street. The car was going 40 mph (speeding by the way) and I was hit head on. In the course of the accident, I was flung up onto the car's windshield (my body actually broke it) and I was chucked nearly 40 Ft from the car. I hit my head and was knocked unconscious. I stayed that way until I was in the ambulance where I would briefly gain consciousness for moments. It took me several hours to fully regain consciousness. I had also bruised and hurt my hip bones, broke my clavicle in half on one side, had black eyes, and road "rash" on my entire left side. I was lucky. <br />
<br />
Needless to say, I do believe I have suffered some long term damage to my brain. <br />
<br />
On top of that incident, I have also dealt with two bouts of meningitis, an infection in the fluid that surrounds the brain and is in the spinal cord as well as under-going ECT for depression.<br />
<br />
I would say my brain has been through the ringer at only 30 years old.<br />
<br />
Because of all this trauma, I do have some memory loss issues and well as some other cognitive issues. For instance, I have trouble recalling things, remembering things in both short and long term and understanding some concepts. I am what some people call, "a little slow" and it makes my day to day life rather frustrating at times.<br />
<br />
I tried a new supplement that is supposed to help with these things**. It is called Prevagen.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwvKhZunee2zlSI9PALGJDsYclc1pX2X3BOyBLAM4J5VWwPgdiVJuQmzK4SC52b5hcPKmO84eqzsM9uOSuEXOsfMUafiRBwJjoiE0yrPmVLCyKqE5dCjTVr19Cv55lUdLp6lXBk_ubPh__/s1600/prev1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="311" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwvKhZunee2zlSI9PALGJDsYclc1pX2X3BOyBLAM4J5VWwPgdiVJuQmzK4SC52b5hcPKmO84eqzsM9uOSuEXOsfMUafiRBwJjoiE0yrPmVLCyKqE5dCjTVr19Cv55lUdLp6lXBk_ubPh__/s320/prev1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Prevagen claims to improve memory, help you have a sharper mind and protects the memories you have**.<br />
<br />
I was given a 30 day supply to try and I was admittedly skeptical. I can say that in my experience, I did actually notice a slight difference in memory recall after just 2 weeks*. <br />
<br />
I was pleasantly surprised when after 30 days, I was more able to have a better short term memory recall*. <br />
<br />
Now, I wouldn't say it is a cure, but it certainly helps your brain become healthier**.<br />
<br />
I bet you are wondering what Prevagen is. Prevagen is a dietary supplement that contains only one active ingredient-Apoaequorin. This was first discovered in jellyfish and is now produced in labs. It helps the brain protect it's cells by slowing the cell death.<br />
<br />

<br />

Come check it out!Readers, I just know your little ones would love this giveaway so I teamed up with the Giveaway Gator to bring you this giveaway! How cute are Zoobies?!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s380.photobucket.com/albums/oo250/StevezRandmNade/?action=view&current=ZoobiebG.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Zoobie blanket pet and Zoobies Blankie Babies" border="0" class="aligncenter" height="471" src="http://i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo250/StevezRandmNade/ZoobiebG.jpg" width="451" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Does your little one have a favorite "Luvey"? You know what I am talking about. The blanket or stuffed animal that your little one loves for years and can't be without? The one that is given to your now grown child when they have their baby, to be pulled out of a memory box, as you remember back to those times when your child couldn't bear to be parted with that blanket, even to hurriedly throw it in the wash?<br />
<br />
Zoobies are the best of both worlds. A blanket and a stuffed animal, that they are sure to treasure from the moment the softness touches their little hands. Our granddaughter is 8 months, and as soon as we laid her down on the blanket, she squealed and grabbed the hippo in delight. The blanket conveniently tucks away into the animal to create a stuffed toy or pillow.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">Even if you don't win one, I would recommend heading over to <a href="http://www.blogger.com/website%20http://www.zoobies.com/%20" target="_blank"><b>Zoobie</b></a> and purchasing one. You will be more than buying a toy; you will be creating a memory.</div><br />

In this post I talk about how having large breasts has really given me a hard time and actually caused tremendous health issues.<br />
<br />
Well, I have an announcement:<br />
<br />
I will be consulting with a plastic surgeon on the 12th of July this year to talk about getting a reduction. This has been in the works for several years as I have been gathering medical evidence.<br />
<br />
I needed to gather medical evidence for insurance purposes. I have seen several types of Doctors to address the many aspects of larger breast size in relation to my health.<br />
<br />
~My regular provider, Sandy P. FNP has been so wonderful to me. She has gotten the ball rolling on all of this and she has been inspirational on moving forward. It is now a serious possibility because of her!<br />
<br />
~ I saw an Orthopedic practitioner and she recommended I get a reduction because of the way my back is curving<br />
<br />
~A chiropractor recommend it as well because of the way my neck is curving forward.<br />
<br />
~I had a doctor several years back tell me that I needed to consider it because of skin issues I struggle with in that area.<br />
<br />
~A Doctor of sleep medicine suggested it because I actually have trouble breathing at night because of their size<br />
<br />
~A respiratory therapist and pulmonary doctor recommend it because I don't actually have asthma. I just have a difficult time breathing because of the weight of them on my chest.<br />
<br />
<br />
Did you know that breast tissue weighs approximately 1 lb for each cup size? Since I am an H, that means mine weigh 10 lbs each! That is 20 lbs on my chest all day and all night. It's no wonder I have issues with breathing and that it is causing serious back, neck and shoulder issues.<br />
<br />
I have to admit, although I am excited, I am scared. This is a major surgery with a very pain-filled recovery (or so I have heard).<br />
<br />
Wish me luck on this journey. You know I will keep my blog readers informed!<br />

There are a couple different subscriptions that are available. What is fun, is, you can take a <a href="http://www.julep.com/mavens/quiz/index.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">quiz</a> to see which one fits you best!<br />
<br />
I chose to review the BOHO Glam <a href="http://www.julep.com/?r=21966602" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Maven</a> box!<br />
<br />
Inside I got two awesome nail colors, a set of toe separators, a welcome message, some awesome Pedi creme ("the best Pedi Creme ever") and some tips! It was all wrapped up in a box and a bow!<br />
<br />
This would make a wonderful gift for any girly-girl in your life!<br />
<br />
Let's take a peek inside my BOHO Glam Maven box:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I love the two nail colors I received! The pictures don't do them justice.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTeW_dvEWdOdoLsH2YE7rwwkcdZ9p0iAd3me3uI9Z56EhTp_HJPIXymAaocNjyEmC_6liSoPka9pCkouo9FrrXsAG-4M1dh9GAW160-pB1oPce8v8THOWm-GhW2lG2WunwnSjWDbo_WXiD/s1600/julep1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTeW_dvEWdOdoLsH2YE7rwwkcdZ9p0iAd3me3uI9Z56EhTp_HJPIXymAaocNjyEmC_6liSoPka9pCkouo9FrrXsAG-4M1dh9GAW160-pB1oPce8v8THOWm-GhW2lG2WunwnSjWDbo_WXiD/s400/julep1.jpg" width="298" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The first color was "Hayden", a bold and bright neon peach<br />
<br />
The second color is "Courteney", a key-lime green<br />
<br />
I was very impressed by both the color and constancy of the nail colors. I love how bright they were! Perfect for summer open toes. I also loved that they were a thick, quality formula. One of my biggest pet peeves with nail polish is the formulas that require you to put several top coats on before you achieve the color you desire. Julep Nail Vernis nail colors are not like that at all! One coat and I was done!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I also got "The Best Pedi Creme Ever!" The formula smells wonderful and clean. It is thick and glides on smooth with no greasy feeling after. I actually noticed a difference in my foot's softness after just a couple nightly applications. I love this stuff, as I believe it is the best Pedi Creme ever!<br />
<br />
You can get all of this, and it changes monthly, for $19.99. Each box includes over $40 worth of stuff! What great savings! Plus you are able to get free shipping on all orders, enjoy 20%off items in the boutique and a wonderful referral program!<br />
<br />
What is even more AMAZING is if you are a Saved By Grace reader you can get your first box for a SINGLE PENNY (1 CENT! is she for real?!) and free shipping and you can cancel at any time!

I am large chested, and believe me when I say, it is cumbersome. To be exact, my breasts are a size 44 H.<br />
<br />
There are several problems with having large breasts and I have experienced all of them, some on a very regular basis:<br />
<br />
~Rashes under the breasts and in between in the 'cleavage'. These rashes burn, itch and ache.<br />
<br />
~Yeast infections in between the breasts and under. This is extremely embarrassing and very painful and hard to prevent and rid yourself of.<br />
<br />
~Back, neck and shoulder pain. Even headaches. I have actually physical deformities in my back and neck from carrying around the girls that you can see on an x-ray.<br />
<br />
~Breathing difficulties. You may laugh, but it's true. I have a hard time breathing because of the weight of them both at night while I am sleeping and during the day. This was confirmed by a sleep study and blood tests as well as breathing tests to determine if it was caused by a lung disease. The 'asthma' I thought I had is not-I have no underlying lung issue..it is simply the weight of my breasts that causes asthma like symptoms and high levels of CO2 in my blood.<br />
<br />
~Shoulder pain caused by the straps digging in. I have a permanent groove in my shoulder from wearing bras. <br />
<br />
~I worry about one thing especially; my breasts make it difficult to feel for lumps because of their size and density<br />
<br />
~besides the physical issues, there is the self esteem issues.<br />
<br />
<br />
You may think to yourself, "How in the world could a woman with large breasts have self esteem issues about them?! Doesn't she feel great having what all women seem to want?"<br />
<br />
This is how a lot of people react.<br />
<br />
But to be frank, it's not what it's cracked up to be.<br />
<br />
I can't fit in most women's tops unless I buy a significantly larger size than I should normally wear. As a teenager and young woman, the men all thought I was "easy" and the girls hated on me. It was assumed I was loose simply because of my chest size.<br />
<br />
No matter what I wear, I have cleavage. This is terrible especially when you are as modest as I am.<br />
<br />
People like to point out my chest size and I am often the butt of jokes.<br />
<br />
People think they have a right to ask my chest size.<br />
<br />
Men often stare at my breasts instead of my face when meeting me or talking to me. They think I don't notice, but I do.<br />
<br />
Exercising is painful. Its not only painful because I am out of shape, but its nearly impossible to buy a supportive sports bra in my size. It physically hurts to have them unsupported while exercising.<br />
<br />
Say goodbye to cute swimsuits, cute bras (in a reasonable price range), cute tops and dresses. <br />
<br />
That is only a SHORT list of things I encounter that make me suffer from self esteem issues related to my chest size.<br />
<br />
But all is not lost! <br />
<br />
I have a 'BIG' announcement coming soon!

<br />
They sent me a sample pack of some office supplies, which was a lifesaver since I have a home office I do my blogging in that was in serious need!<br />
<br />
See how generous they were? They even sent me some "perk me up"!<br />
<br />
