A new scale to help kick start your weight loss!!

*This is a sponsored post that contains affiliate links.*


My husband and I have been working on changing out eating up, but we found that one of the biggest things we were missing is a food scale. With Measurites' Smart Weigh CSB5KG Digital Multifunction Kitchen and Food Scale with Bowl keeping out portion sizes correct has never been so simple. This scale did require 2 AA batteries which I preferred because I don't have many kitchen outlets. What i really love about this food scale is the fact that I don't have to just use the bowl, like so many others. I can use any old plate so long as I remember to zero out the scale (which you can do by just pressing the on and off button). I also like the fact that I can just toss a handful of veggies in the bowl and call it a day if they came in a plastic bag. Overall, I love this scale so much, and am so excited to have it for our weight loss adventure!

Baby Doll Bliss

Iknowu sent us a beautiful reborn doll to try out and let me tell you, Noah is in heaven!

 As a little girl I always wanted a reborn doll, but we just didn’t have the means for one. Now, with my only little girl I could not help but to jump on the opportunity to get this doll. We received this doll on Saturday and let me tell you, she is beautiful. So much detail was put into making her just right. Her hair and eyelashes both look to be delicately hand placed and are in wonderful condition. Her body has been stuffed at precisely the right points to ensure that she can sit up or lay down with no issue. The mouth of this doll is magnetic so her pacifier easily attaches. The pacifier itself is magnetic and sits so adorably against her little mouth. Even the paint job of this doll is well thought out. Her little hands and toes have been painted to match those of a real baby.

Amelia (that is the name my daughter gave her) came wrapped to ensure that she did not get damaged in the shipping process. This doll came with her adorable outfit and headband (Both of which are changeable- She wears a newborn or 0-3 month in clothing). She also came with her blanket, pacifier, bottle, and even her very own dolly! Holding this doll against our “big brand” reborn, you cannot even tell she was half the price! Overall this doll is perfect for any little girl (provided she plays nicely) or even the most seasoned collector. This doll is little girl bliss! Want your own? Head on over to Amazon and check her out! NPK Reborn Doll.

Anaiti Age defying cream

Growing up, my mother used wrinkle cream in her everyday regime, yet she never really explained to me why she did it. As I’ve gotten older I’ve noticed the signs of age kicking in. Being a huge fan of Anaiti products I decided to try this after the first wrinkle cream I used left my face feeling extremely oily. I applied this product mainly on the fine line around my eyes and mouth. I have tried this product 4 times so far and noticed today that the fine lines I do have seem much less noticeable. I also noticed that this cream did not leave my face feeling oily at all, like my previous attempt with a very popular brand. Overall, so far I really love this cream and I hope that with time it leaves my face completely wrinkle free. *I received this product in exchange for my review however, my opinion is my own*

Amazing Acrylic Paints!

My husband has always been an artist. He’s drawn since he could remember. However, he’s always stuck purely to pencils. Recently he expressed an interest in getting into painting so we went and purchased paint. He found that the paint he purchased was extremely watery. So when we received this he was a little cautious about trying it. Once he broke this set of paints out he got super excited. He said they are thick enough that he feels he can easily move the paint to how he wants it to look. His brush strokes seem much more smooth and solid. He said that the pain colors are vibrant and it seems as though they will last well into his next couple of paintings. He is actually planning on using these specific paints to do a huge mural on his art box (Also a TCP Corp buy!). He says they are perfect and after seeing one painting of his, I agree!Acrylic paint tubes
