I have gone between extremely oily skin to extremely dry skin, especially as the weather changes. I was so frustrated with my skin and the back and forth since my pregnancies. I was looking and searching for something, anything that would shrink my pores and even out my skin without the chemicals. When I got the chance to review Day by Day Beauty's Vitamin C Serum, I was pretty open to trying it, if it would work.

When I received it, I washed my face and tried it immediately and it burned a little so I was hesitant to use it again. But I realized that you need to add a moisturizer after using it. So the following day, I repeated the process but added the moisturizer after. It was much better though it still burned slightly, barely noticeable. I waited for a reaction but it never came so I continued to use it. After about a week of using it, my pores were visibly shrinking, my skin was tighter (firmer) and just looked overall healthier. Yes, I said a week! After almost 30 days, my skin looks and feels much healthier and I will make this a regular part of my skin care regiment.

So if you have issues with your skin, whether it be uneven skin tone, wrinkles, sun damage etc., pick up a bottle here on Amazon of Day by Day Beauty's Vitamin C Serum and let it work just as well for you.

Especially when it comes to losing weight and staying healthy at the same time! That is why I wrote this book. I wanted to clear up a lot of that confusion and give you a very simple, quick to read guide to losing weight from eating like a vegetarian.

Like a lot of other women, I wanted to lose some weight. I had already been thinking about switching to being vegan so when I got the opportunity to review this book, I was excited. I first skimmed the book and picked out which recipes I would like to try first and which ones I would probably not try at all (picky eater alert!).

Each time before that I had tried to cut out meat, I find myself going back to it because there wasn't much I could find, in texture and taste, to satisfy me. The recipes in this book though, were easy to follow and made substituting meats very easy. While I only got to do it this time for a week, I will definitely be doing it for a longer period of time until I am able to switch permanently!

I love how Jonathan Vine broke down the different types of vegans/vegetarian lifestyles without making it seem intimidating or overly strict. There are also recipes that allow for adjustments per lifestyle chosen. This book is such a great resource for beginners and those who have been in the lifestyle for a while. Even my children loved some of the recipes and would ask for seconds. So kudos to Mr. Vine because my children rarely ask for seconds on anything with vegetables.

If you are looking to lose weight (I lost 7 in the week I did it) or just want to transition to a healthier lifestyle, pick up a copy of the book here on Amazon!

Navigating Emotions for Parents e-book Review


Navigating Emotions for Parents is a collection of simple, in-the-moment mindfulness exercises to stop and change what we do when we feel upset so we can enjoy more time with our kids. Each exercise is only a page or two long and you can read one then practice it for a week or so and make it your own. By the end of the book you’ll have twenty useful tools to help you navigate the emotional waters of parenting.

Written by mom of five, meditation facilitator and parent educator Amy Phoenix, Navigating Emotions for Parents points the way to helping ourselves and our children implement alternatives to harshness when we feel frustration, anger and even rage. More details can be found at: http://presenceparenting.com/navigating-emotions-ebook/.


So what did I think of this book?

Honestly, at first I would say "this is some of the dumbest things I've ever read in my life. How could this possibly change the way I react?" But as I read the different sections, that was one of the excuses given as to why one may not succeed; we get in our own way. So I decided to put aside how I felt and try it for the sake of my children, first and foremost and then myself.

I really wanted to stop yelling so I decided to give it a try. I must say that even upon the first attempt upon implementing some of the methods given in the book, I noticed the difference; even if only because I felt too silly to be angry. I decided to try it for an entire week before even attempting to begin a review so I could give a fair assessment.

I must say that aside from the "prayer" in the book, I have been pleasantly surprised that these methods actually work. My children come talk to me freely with no fear of mommy being upset now.

So, thank you a million times!! If you are like the person I was that got easily annoyed and took out my frustrations on my children or blew up, please, I implore you to try this book for your own and your children's sake. Pick up your copy here .

DSpeed Fast Melt Vitamin D3 Review

So it's summer and we all would love for our children to go out in the yard and go play and catch bugs, or play in the dirt etc. Unfortunately, with all going on in our lives, we haven't been able to really get the children outside as much as we would like. My youngest is also still nursing and has severely bowed legs from birth. I don't like artificial supplements so I normally try to eat so he gets the required daily dosage from breastmilk. However, I saw an opportunity to review this product and jumped on it to see if it would help so my baby wouldn't have to take vitamin D drops. I will continue to take them (and update this post at that time) until the bottle is empty and see if my son's legs straighten up. I was worried about the taste of these though, I must admit.

I was pleasantly surprised at the taste of these. I thought they would have been chalky and would have no peach flavour. I was so hesitant to taste it thinking I would have to suffer through a tablet that takes forever to dissolve, that tastes horrid. It actually tastes pretty good and dissolved really quickly. This is definitely a product I will keep purchasing for myself!

Abigail and The Jungle Adventure Review

When I first got the chance to review this book, I was excited because my children (my daughter especially) loves new books and loves being read to. Once I downloaded the book via Amazon, and she saw the cover, she would constantly ask for me to read the book to her. Now, if the cover of the book can lure her in that much, that's a win in my book.



So we start reading and the illustrations in the book has her enthralled. She is actively listening and pointing (interacting). I was actually impressed because as much as she likes being read to, there aren't many books that can hold her attention long enough through to the end. So again, kudos to the illustrator!

Now, on to the story. The story itself for me, was a little scattered and short; it just felt like little pieces were missing in between. However, my daughter thoroughly enjoyed it and was asking questions about other people (cultures) and animals so another win in my book. I liked how the author introduced the animals in a fun way but wish they had chosen more exotic animals or animals native to where they were representing in the story (the Amazon).

Overall, I thought it was a good book for children and I applaud the intention of the author, ie., introducing different cultures and animals. Great illustrations to accompany a good children's story.

Australian Tea Tree Oil with Free Recipe Guide

I received a 4Fl. Oz. bottle via Tomoson for review and I am so happy I did. I received the oil and upon opening the box, you can smell the purity of the oil. It doesn't smell diluted like some other oils I've come across so I was excited to test and compare it to the others.

To begin with, I use TTO every night to clean my floors and counters and they usually feel slick and slippery. With the Apothecary Extracts oil, I was pleasantly surprised that I could walk freely without fear of slipping. Even the counters felt clean and dry without the streaks.

I am going to use the oil following some of the recipes given in the free guide. I am excited to try the handsoap recipe and to remove acne. I will update with results as soon as I receive them.

Pick up a bottle of this versatile oil for yourself on Amazon here !!

Haunted: Ten Tales of Ghosts Review



Once again, Rayne Hall has a compilation of tremendous stories. Having dealt with ghosts myself from a youngin unto today, it was interesting to see the different takes the authors would have on their own ghosts. One thing I did realize though is that, like the other books, some of the stories ended abruptly and left you wondering what happened?

For example, "The Explanation for Ghosts," ended without explaining what happened to the men. I went back and forward looking to make sure that the story had really ended. I was perplexed, and kept wondering "so what happened?"

On the other hand, I loved most of the other stories. Rayne Hall's "Take me to St. Roch's" was one of my favourites as the visuals you develop while reading are both disturbing and even made me chuckle. My husband must thought me crazy when I started chuckling while picturing the graveyard scene and the ghost kicking the main Jean.

Another story I loved was Morris' "A Puddle Of Dead." This story is very realistic and something a lot of people deal with daily. It made it that much easier to empathize with the main character and I was so happy for her when she got her closure.

This is a great read. Pick up a copy on Amazon here and enjoy the spooktacular thrills. Better yet, wait until Halloween ;)
