They have a few mini games, You can pet the animals, have a pony ride, make your way through the little hay bale maze, Or my kids favorite was the corn kernel pit. They played in it for close to an hour. Then there's my favorite they had their little shop set up in their barn selling their lotions and soaps made from goats milk.  It's no secret that I love goats milk soap and lotion.

The risks of popping

Image
  🌸Let’s talk about “popping  zits” for just a minute. What’s the difference between when I do “extractions” in my treatment room and when people “pop” at home? . 🌸You know that nice steam I have going while I Thoroughly double cleanse your face? Then the wonderful smelling enzyme that we use under the steam? 😀well that’s not just for the relaxing warm and fuzzies that it gives you. It serves a purpose. The double cleanse totally cleanses your face of any debris or bacteria that may creep in during extractions, the steam and enzyme both soften the skin and sebum, so your pores and skin aren’t damaged in the process. By doing all of this I’m less likely to cause hyperpigmentation, scaring, and since I wear gloves and use tools I’m not giving you and infection. . 🌸 when you look in the mirror and see a big zit ready to burst, I’m guessing that you’re not taking the time to cleanse and steam your face. Most people squeeze and squeeze until they have a big hole in their face. ...

Do Norwex Cleanser cloths really cure acne???

Image
  I think by now Norwex has been out long enough that we have all heard of it, but just in case.... Norwex is a MLM company that has distributors who promote a more natural way of cleaning. You basically switch from using chemical cleaners in your house to using these cloths infused with "mico-silver". I'm 100% behind this idea of getting rid of harmful chemicals in our homes. I've loved the Norwex cloths that I have tried. If I can clean my house without breathing in something harmful to my health I'm all for it. But what about the other side of their products? The body/facial cloths, and the new skin care line that they have now? I went to a Norwex party at a friends house one time, I was SO impressed with the way the house cleaning products cleaned ALL the bacteria left behind from raw chicken. But then the presenter brought out the facial cleansing cloths.... She said "My friend has severe acne, she switched to these cloths and water and now her face is c...

Image
  I have tried and currently use so many products from Codeage and total honesty I can say that I have enjoyed all of them.

Which, if you’ve followed me for any time. You know that I’m all about natural ingredients. I truly believe that we have what we need from nature to heal our bodies. So without further ado I’m so excited to share this NEW product with you!  Clear head by Codeage . Clear head does just what the title says. “We designed clearhead for when we feel under the weather.

My secret to getting some physical activity in as a Mother.

Image
 I literally went almost 11 years without doing anything physical to keep myself in shape. I mean sure, I would go on walks or push the kids in the stroller. I usually try to eat mostly healthy foods. But in those years of taking care of these 4 awesome kids, I was forgetting something that, as mothers we hear often. We hear this all over the internet, in quotes on pinterest, and memes on instagram and facebook. SELF CARE IS SO IMPORTANT! I always told myself so many excuses that kept me from doing anything. Mostly things like I have 4 kids, I don't have time to do anything for myself. I'm a mom I can't be expected to do anything. No matter what I do, my stomach will always be somewhat flabby, and so on. Given, in a lot of those years, I was either pregnant, recovering from c-sections, or just plain tired with getting up with babies throughout the night. While to a lot of you other moms, these might sound legit, or to others these may sound silly. It's the way I...

Women's Fermented MultiVitamin

Image
Have you tried every multi-vitamin in the book? Only to not even be sure if they are doing anything? If you're anything like me, you've tried huge horse pills that taste like hay and literally make you sick to your stomach. Then tried gummies that taste great, but has no effect on your mood, energy, or well ANYTHING AT ALL.  I went years just taking multi-vitamins hoping that it was doing what it was supposed to and assuming that it was helping to keep me healthy. ORDER HERE USE DISCOUNT CODE "JMARIE88" It wasn't until I tried the Women's Fermented Multivitamin from CodeAge that I realized that with the right high quality vitamin you DO feel different. I have more energy than I have ever had, energy that I didn't even know that I was lacking. Energy that, as a mother of 4 children, I really and I mean REALLY needed. There are some key ingredients in these vitamins that I love. #1 being that this multivitamin actually has Iron! Did you know that acc...
