Luv & Emma's Super Absorbent Dry Pets!

One of the challenges we face with our temperamental weather is keeping Zeus warm and dry, weather it be from coming inside from doing his business or right after his weekly bath. For the past year that he has been apart of our family we have been using our bath towels to dry him and they would as most end up hanging around the house or on the floor EVERYWHERE! 
Luv & Emma's Super Absorbent Microfiber Towel has a stretchable opening making it convenient to hang on any door knob.

 I was given the opportunity to test and review this amazing super absorbent microfiber towel. 
Luv & Emma's Dry Pets Plus Super Absorbent Microfiber Towel has a patented integrated stretchable opening that conveniently adjusts to hang on virtually any door handle or elsewhere! NO more wet towels haphazardly thrown on the floor!


It is really soft and I love the paw prints on it. (Can be used on all pets) I have used it several times and have since washed and dried it. It dries super fast in no time at all. Not like a regular bath towel.

 Zeus absolutely loves this towel! We now only use Luv & Emma's dry pets towel and will continue recommending them to everyone with furbabies! Click here to purchase your very own.They are also sewn in the U.S.A and come in recyclable packaging. Also, they are very affordable too! You will NOT be disappointed.

My Top 5 Reasons I Love Being A Stay At Home Mom (SAHM)

As I look at the title of this article I can't help but laugh because this was something I never thought I would want to do... ever. So I thought.After being at home with my two kids I can't imagine doing anything else. With that being said, here are my top 5 reasons I now love about being a Stay At Home Mom (SAHM).


1. I GET TO MAKE MY OWN SCHEDULE -

Now that I am a Stay At Home Mom I get the comfort of planning out my days as I see fit. Make changes were they are needed and not have anything interfering (like a retail sales JOB). My husband and I no longer have the issue of me not being able to get off work, in the event that he needs to stay at work longer or go into work earlier. There is no need to worry about a babysitter or having to leave work in the event of an emergency. I don't have to choose between work and family. Being a SAHM gives me back a big chunk of my life that I hadn't even realized I'd lost.

2. GETTING TO SEE MY KIDS ALL DAY EVERYDAY-

 When I was working outside of the home, I was usually gone before the kids woke up, and got back home just in time to feed them dinner and put them to bed. Now, when my kids wake up in the morning, I'm there. When they go to sleep at night, I'm there. When they need to go to the doctor, I take them. When they get sick  I have to stay up all night nursing them back to health, I don't have to worry about calling out sick myself. I don't have to stress out about my boss not understanding (or caring) that I need time off to take care of my kids. I don't have to worry about not being able to be there for my kids because I'm spending  hours at work on things that I don't get enough credit for. Being a SAHM allows me to cherish the precious moments that I see and build with my children on a daily basis.

3. I GET TO BE THERE FOR ALL THEIR FIRSTS-

 First time they told me "I luv you" was one of the most memorable days of my life, right along with their first time crawling to walking. I love it when they walk up to me and say "Mom you know what?" "I love you!" There are so many memories and experiences I have been able to witness and there will be many more. I’m grateful that I get to be there to enjoy, encourage, and remember (or if I’m lucky snap a photo of) all of their precious ‘firsts’.

4. BEING A SAHM HAS IMPROVED MY RELATIONSHIP
David and I are NOT a model couple. We have our ups and downs as most people in any relationship do. We work really hard to have a strong relationship and we do love each other.

That said, I have noticed that becoming a SAHM has helped our relationship in many regards. I’m not exactly sure why this is. I think some of it has to do with him feeling comfortable that our kids are home and well taken care of.  I think he likes the system we have. He also appreciates being the bread winner…
There are probably many other reasons too. Maybe I’ll ask him and write a post on it later.

5. I HAVE A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH BOTH MY KIDS

Spending all  waking hours together seven days a week, we know each other really well. I  know what to do when they are in one of their many moods. I understand what certain looks, body language, and tone of voice mean. They know I’ll be there for them too. I love when my son comes looking for me when I am not in a certain room of the house and he always knows where to look first. I love that my daughter likes to help me around the house and just wants to be with me. The stability of our relationship and love, and time we spend together are completely priceless to me.
Being a SAHM mom is often very tough and every day doesn’t always include these amazing moments, the rewards and the things I love about it far outweigh the negatives.These reasons plus some more not mentioned are what keep me dedicated and ready for a new day as a Stay At Home Mom.

Are you a Stay At Home Mom?
What are some of your reasons as to why you LOVE it?

Nupro Gold All Natural Dog Supplement

Being a pet owner and considering my boy Zeus as one of the family. (Naturally) I want to feed him the best of the best. Since having him he always seemed to have some skin and coat issues. After researching the web for days I ran across Nupro which was researched and developed by a doctor of nutrition, using fresh, premium quality health food ingredients. A totally holistic product, it will provide your dog with the full range of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and essential omega fatty acids. All in their Natural Raw Forms, that he/she does not get from processed foods. In other words, the supplements are replaced with natural ingredients which a dog would normally have gotten in the wild. An excellent All-In-One daily supplement for all breeds and all ages - Puppies to Seniors. Nupro has no wheat, corn, fillers, grains, artificial sugars or preservatives, glutens or by-products of any kind. For Zeus he gets 1/4 a scoop every day, which I sometimes add a little water to it and it makes a gravy to give him some variety. A list of the ingredients are as follows:
Desiccated Liver - The ultimate in palatability. The fresh, natural flavor of real liver is wonderful for the finicky eater! Supplies iron and B vitamins. Just add water to make a Great Gravy that Dogs Crave!

Norwegian Kelp - A natural seaweed - a rich source of trace minerals including iodine, necessary for proper glandular function and metabolism. An excellent source of vitamins A, B1, B2, C, and E. Aside from nourishing the glands, these vitamins are beneficial for maintaining overall good health and are vital to sustain the proper growth of bones, a healthy heart rate, a sound central nervous system, and the assurance that muscles stay firm and strong. Norwegian kelp grows deep in the ocean, mostly in cold waters, so it contains the purest of valuable nutrients from the ocean floor. Supports healthy skin pigmentation and coat highlights.  

Amino Acids & Enzymes - A wide array of naturally available Amino Acids and Enzymes helps the body to maintain healthy hormonal balances and to fortify a resilient Immune System. Offers support for pets with seasonal allergies.

Nutritional Yeast Cultures - Support the maintenance of healthy skin and a full, luxurious hair coat which may minimize the occurrence of excessive shedding and dry skin. Provide proteins, zinc and biotin. Best source of B vitamins. Most companies use cheaper brewers yeast which can be a combination of hops, corn, grains, wheat, etc.; all by-products from the brewery. Many animals have grain sensitivities, and brewers yeast may further aggravate an allergy condition in certain animals. With nutritional yeast cultures, grown and harvested from a veggie source, NO grains are present at all. Something to think about when reading ingredient labels.  

Flaxseed - Provides essential omega fatty acids. Most absorbable vegetable fatty acid for the canine. Rich in omega 3 fatty acids, alpha-Linolenic acid, fiber and lignans. Helps maintain healthy, shiny fur and soft skin.  
Lecithin - A rich source of choline, utilized by the body in the production of acetyl-choline, a neurotransmitter essential for normal, healthy nerve and brain function. Supports healthy liver function.  

Garlic - Awesome ingredient that does so much for the body! Garlic contains allicin, a powerful antioxidant, helpful in supporting healthy immune and cardiovascular systems.  

Calcium Citrate - Calcium is best absorbed in an acidic environment, hence calcium citrate is the best absorbed supplemental form of calcium - it does not require extra stomach acid for absorption. Intended to provide nutritive support for healthy bones, teeth and nerve function.  

Lactobacillus Acidophilus - Promotes friendly bacteria in the intestinal tract thereby encouraging efficient digestion which may reduce the occurrence of flatulence.

This is something I order on a regular to be sure he never runs out! I highly recommend all pet owners not just dogs to try this and add it to your pets diet. It can be purchased here.

NEW 2 in 1!!! Valentia Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask AND Eternal Youth Exfoliating Scrub

I reviewed the Valentia True Glow Eye Cream not long ago and was very impressed by the company and its product. First let's start with the Clay Mask.

It has a very fragrant scent that I really enjoy. You can smell it before opening the 4 oz. jar. When applying it to my skin it was almost like a cooling affect, which I find really relaxing. I left it on for about 15 minutes or so until it was completely dry. Removing it was fairly easy with some warm water and rubbing it in a circular motion as it also exfoliates at the same time. Here are the active ingredients:

- Kaolin Clay:Clay minerals draw impurities, improve skin tone, and tighten pores for smoother firmer skin. - Plant Stem Cells:Naturally decreases the level of pro-aging toxins and works to sooth the skin, reduce redness, and improve evenness.
- Spirulina:A botanical stimulant full of vitamins that hydrates the skins surface and contributes to tissue regeneration of the skin.
- CoQ10:Lessens the appearance of wrinkles by reducing free radical damage and stimulating health collagen production.
- Hibiscus & Cranberry Fibers:Both lend their anti-aging properties to firm and reinforce the skin, helping to reduce the creation of new wrinkles.

All the ingredients work together to help draw out impurities and downsize your pores along with firm and strengthen your skin.

This product is for sale on Amazon for $24.99USD here. 

Now let's move onto the Exfoliating Scrub.

This happens to be my personal favorite. It's smells like a natural menthol, minty that I noticed immediately wakened my scences. As noted in previous statements I have sensitive skin so I have to be careful on what I use. When applied in a circular motion it tingled a little bit but did not irritate my redness.Rinses off with ease with warm water.  Some scrubs can make your skin feel even more dry, but with the key ingredients in this it has my skin feeling soft and clean with the first use. Here is a list of those ingredients:

 - Green and White Tea:Packed with polyphenols and potent antioxidants that provide anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, and anti-aging effects.
- Aloe Vera:This nutrient rich botanical moisturizes the skin and fights aging by improving skin firmness.
- Jojoba Beads:Gentle beads that work to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells without scratching the skin.
- Olive, Avocado & Kukui Butter:This nutrient dense trio is rich in Vitamin A, B, D, and E helps nourish, hydrate, and repair the skin while combating pro-aging free radicals.

These help rejuvenate and remove toxins and moisturize all at the same time. This scrub is available along with the Clay mask as a 2 in 1 set or individual for $24.99 here on Amazon.

Both of these products from Valentia are my new must have staples in my daily/weekly skin care regimen. I highly recommend that you indulge your skin with their products and experience the results for yourself.

The program starts with a 3 day detox to force the body to start changing, and then reintroducing 3 meals and 2 snacks a day.
You start out by taking measurements - which are then done weekly.

You are encouraged to allow ourselves a 90/10 attitude on food - so 10% of the time we can break the rules.

She teaches you general awareness of the food that you are eating - really for anyone who has no idea where to start on a healthier lifestyle, Stephanie hits it bang on and has some fabulous and simple recipes for you to follow.

You are taught how to maintain a protein:carbohydrate ratio of 1:1 for 6 days - this is a LOT of protein - my nemesis as I never seem to eat enough of it. I am a work in progress. Always.

She shows you how to weigh or eyeball the ratios out.

Over the course of the 10 days, exercise is increased, and we are given a meal plan for each day.

This Kindle edition ALSO includes Belly Fat Blowout II - a 5 week continuation of the program to really teach you healthy eating habits - there is a LOT of support and information provided.

During this 5 weeks, still no grains or foods with made with flour - like bread.  Everyone else I know who has cut out bread and rice (grains) also just loses weight.
You also go to a more reasonable 2:1 carbohydrate:protein ratio.

Each week includes:
- A support call (you can download an MP3 for this)
- New recipes
- Facebook Support

Each week teaches you the basics about healthy eating, basic fitness, and more encouragement.

I think this book is great and well organized with a lot of helpful resources.

Valentia True Glow Eye Cream

Ever since I was little, I have had dark circles under my eyes. Since I was a teenager, I have tried everything under the sun to lighten them up. And everything was a fail until I tried Valentina True Glow Eye Cream. This eye cream is wonderful! And it works. I noticed a difference only 3 days after using it. Which is awesome. I can’t wait to see what the difference will be in a few weeks. I love that this is not only for dark circles under your eyes. It is an eye cream that can also be used for puffiness, wrinkles and a combo of both. It also has all natural and organic ingredients.

The ingredients are:
 Astaxanthin: The reigning King of the antioxidants - please take a bow - this little guy has 600 times more antioxidant power than Vitamin C, increases skin moisture, smoothes fine lines , and restores elasticity to the skin.
 Resistem: or "Natures Miracles" as we like to call them. These plant stem cells work to repair damaged skin cells and protect the skin from stress related aging, leaving skin refreshed and renewed!
Vitamin C: This standout vitamin helps treat multiple skin care and really brightens the under eye are. Your under eye area will feel firmer and look brighter.
 Organic Rosehip Oil: Dry and flaky under eyes be gone! Rosehip oil amps up skins moisture content, delivering deep nourishment and reducing the appearance of fine lines that can creep in when we're a bit dry under the eye.
 Arnica: This botanical herb has been widely used in homeopathic medicine for bruising and soreness which is why we chose it for our True Glow Eye Cream. It stimulates white blood cells to relieve dark circles and puffiness.

 This eye cream is available here on Amazon for the sale price of $24.99 with Prime. Highly recommend for anyone interested in trying a product that actually works.

Garcinia Cambogia Supreme 85%HCA Enhanced

For this specific product, I was honestly disappointed. It did not do anything as it was described to do. This particular dietary supplement was supposed to be powerful and effective with helping reducing body fat, suppressing my appetite and increase my energy. I took as directed which was take two (2) capsules once daily. For maximum strength take two (2) twice daily with 8 oz. of water 20-30 minutes before a meal. I ate clean and took as directed and the only thing I started to notice at about two weeks was I was getting major head aches so I had to stop using. I tried to contact the company and got no response from them at all. So my honest opinion is to NOT use this particular product. I received this product at a highly discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion. But the only downside with me was I started to notice that every time I used this product I was getting major headaches, therefore I had to stop taking the pills.
