Homemade Facial Scrub

With all the hype about microdermabrasion lately I'm sure you've had questions about it too! The idea of loading my face with acidic chemicals scares me though. I've had one professional facial with a peel done and my face was raw and felt burned after for days. When I went to my doctor I was told that I had a chemical burn from the scrub used. It seemed that something I was trying to do to make my skin better was at risk of damaging it. So I started looking into a more natural alternative and here is what I came up with!

No Baby Yet!

Little Mister has not gotten here yet but according to my doctors we have reached the anyday now point of no return!

Sweet Treats for My Lack of Posts: Mom's Peach Cobbler

I've had a lot to handle lately. We found out on Wednesday past that I may deliver sooner than expected. Actually more than likely much sooner. My husband can't get his vacation sooner either so now I've just been hoping he doesn't come before a Wednesday because Mr. Mom is off on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. SO...needless to say I've not felt like even getting up much less putting on makeup or being a girl! But to make up for the lack of makeup, here is my recipe for homemade peach cobbler.

Ipsy April 2014: Beauty Rocks

Ipsy has sent out another awesome bag this month. Being 19 months pregnant and having a stress filled week of oral surgery, toddler allergy and asthma, and Thelma trying to break her leg jumping from her top bunk to across the room (luckily she only bruised it really badly and no bones were damaged) opening my mailbox to see that shiny pink package was a highlight of the week! I love it when I get mostly makeup in my bag.

Toddler and Surgery

I haven't posted much this week because I have a 2 yr old with monster allergies and my 4 yr old was having some oral surgery to fix a few damaged teeth.

Review Request: Local Place the Jefferson Pizza Kitchen

I've had several friends ask me to post a review of a local restaurant. It's called The Jefferson Pizza Kitchen. A local pizza joint in town that my son and many other local teens love (probably because of the lock ins they are so fond of doing overnight). My husband and I have actually tried eating at this place several times only to be disappointed. Not because of the food but because we weren't able to actually get any. The first 2 times we tried the line was so long that after standing there for over thirty minutes we gave up and went to Subway next door. The next was calling in an order only to be told they had run out of pizza dough.

However the other day we managed to obtain a pizza! (I'm sure it's not really that hard to get)

Mom's Homemade Brownies

Selfies and Self Image

I was watching the news this morning and saw a bit about how the selfie movement is causing an increase in plastic surgeries. They were saying that taking pictures of your self is causing more people to become insecure over how they look than ever before. As a person who has been told I have Body Dysmorphic Disorder I didn't realize that others may develop this illness just from looking at pictures of themselves.
