The Black Hole

I know I have been AWOL for months, and I am dreading this post because that means I admit that I have been in a " black hole ". 

It is true though. I have not been myself, I lost myself really. I did have things I wanted to write about and had it all written out in my head but would not get onto the computer to type it out. I used to like cooking and trying new recipes and now I just slap together the quickest thing, I do not feel like cooking. It's the dreaded Black Hole.

My body hurts too, my blood pressure medicine makes my muscles cramp up in my arms and legs so I am constantly hurting, some days are worse than others. It is hard to explain to people, and I think because others do understand they just down play it to me being lazy. I am taking magnesium in hopes of helping it.  Headaches are coming back again and I think it is because of stress and the stress feels worse because of the Black Hole. 

But I am working on getting out of the Black Hole, I am seeing a therapist and will be reclaiming myself. Yes, you have heard it before but you can look forward to more posts from myself. Please bear with me during this process.

Xoxo.

Seventh Generation Clean

I got some samples in the mail from Seventh Generation for their free and clear laundry detergent. I really put it to the test today ! I am going to warn you in advance that this maybe a little off putting. 

Lately my 8 month old baby has been having these huge poop blow outs up the back of her diaper and all over her onsies. It's making not only a huge smelly mess but lots of laundry. The baby also has sensitive skin, it's so sensitive that she had a reaction to baby oil. So I have to be careful on what I use on her. 

The detergent is 4x ultra concentrated a little goes a long way and can be used in HE washers. I did not pretreat beforehand I just rinsed off the poop, I really wanted to put this to the test. I washed as normal on the warm cycle and I must say I am thrilled with the results. It completely removed the poop stain ! 

I put the onsie on the baby today and the detergent did not bother her at all. I can freely use this with no worry because it free of harmful chemicals. And Seventh Generation stands for our environment and our future generations :-)
