Her products are medicated and made with home made hash. Don't get all kinds of excited you will NOT get high !!

Recently I was sent free of charge a lemon lip balm, an Island Paradise scented bath bomb and coffee butter eye lotion. I wasn't expecting all this, she had offered the eye lotion and I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the package. I am definetly a customer now. 

Let's start with the lip balm shall we: I was sent lemon which tastes exactly like lemon heads to me ! Unlike other lip balms there is no need to reapply a million times, it keeps your lips nicely moisturized. These are a must buy.

Next up is the coffee butter eye lotion. It's used for bags and dark under eye circles.  I started using this about 5 days ago, it immediately made my eyes silky smooth and day by day my bag upon bags are looking better and better.  Did mention my skin feels silky smooth ?!

Last but certainly not least was this powerhouse bathbomb. The scent was fruity goodness, I added a little bit of AvoWash by Lush Cosmetics for bubbles which complimented it nicely. The bomb was a fast fizzer but that was fine by me, the scent stuck around and made my skin feel great, I wish I could think of a better adjective because I truly loved how it made me feel. I cannot wait to get some more bombs, bigger ones !!! I will end this with some pictures of said bath and just know I was not paid for this review it's my honest opinion.

Got to get back on track

I must say I have gained a bunch if weight since over the past couple months, 14 pounds to be exact. After I had the baby I lost all the baby weight but it is all back again.

It is really depressing me. I had been doing great weight wise before I got pregnant; eating pretty clean, portion control and walking at least 3-5 miles. Then I got pregnant and what a tough pregnancy, I was so sick in the beginning then the preeclampsia kicked in. It was a tough last pregnancy I tell you. 

Now that my rainbow baby is here I am just so tired. I know she is 9 months old and all but she is still waking up several times through the night to eat. And I have my 3 yr old as well. She is full of energy, wish she could bottle some of it up and give it to me !

After having the baby I got postpartum depression and anxiety. I am not sure if the medication I am taking is also playing a part in my weight gain. But I am sure it has more to do with the fact that I am no longer walking, using portion control, eating clean etc.

I seriously need to start eating the right way again. Maybe it will stop the headaches as well and make me feel better about myself again. I want more energy and I am sure exercise will help with that but building up the gumption to do it while dragging from lack of sleep is tough. The warmer weather is coming so it will get easier I am sure to get out there and walk on the trail behind my house.  I want to be able to look in the mirror and not be disgusted with what I see. I want to be able to fit into my clothing properly and I want new cute clothing. These are my goals and I thought I would share with you ! 

Yawn

My baby is now 9 months old, I really cannot believe it ! I am trying to savor every moment with her since she is my last. 

I am sure you noticed that I seriously lack on my posts since having the baby. Want to know why ? It's because she is still sleeping like a newborn !! No joke, she is waking up 2-3 times a night to eat. She has slept through the night a couple times maybe 4 times. 

I cannot figure out why. I have started feeding her people food, age appropriate people food that is. She gets cereal in her bottle already due to acid reflux ( the Dr in NICU told me to do that ). Is it out if habit ? Does she have a high metabolism ? If I ignore her she gets louder and wakes up my other child. I feel like a zombie, lol. 

If anyone has any advice or recommendations please feel free to comment !  And I do apologize for the lack of posts I will try harder, who needs sleep anyway.....
