My New Experience with Root Beauty Deodorant - My Review




My Review of Root Beauty Deodorant


If your a natural momma or just someone who enjoys using eco-friendly products, you have to check out Root Beauty.




Root Beauty is an organic skin care line dedicated to quality products that are toxic-free. Their goal is to make sure everyone has happy and healthy skin.

I got the opportunity to try out Root Beauty's natural deodorant a few weeks ago. I have to admit that I wasn't sure how I was going to like the deodorant because I had never used a natural deodorant before.

There's a first time for everything! Right?

When I received my package from Root Beauty I was excited to start trying it out. At first I got confused... like I said I had never used a natural deodorant before so I wasn't expecting it to be in a little jar. It took me a few minutes before I figured out how I was going to apply the deo, with my fingers of course!


Root Beauty Deodorant smells wonderful! I can't quiet place what kind of smell it is but you can tell that it's natural. It just has that natural smell. If you've ever smelt natural products then you'll know what I mean.
I've wore my Root Beauty plenty of times and it works amazingly. I wasn't sure at first because sometimes I sweet more than others and I always worry when I start feeling wetness. But with Root Beauty, I completely forgot to worry! I know how crazy that sounds but I never felt any wetness and I wasn't self-conscious! I'd say that would mean that Root Beauty passed the test and gets
an A from this momma!

My only advice for you is that you keep your Root Beauty Deodorant in a cool place so it don't melt. If it does melt then just put it in a cool place and it will turn into a solid before you know it. (Mine melted a couple times) And I think I'm going to try and apply it with a makeup sponge the next time I wear my Root Beauty. I believe it might work pretty well!

Root Beauty not only sales deodorant, You can also find Body Butter bars, moisturizer, hand cream, make-up remover, lip balm and much more! They even have their own Men's line called Root Men.

You can find all of Root Beauty's Natural Beauty Products on their website.

Question of the Day - April 27



- Question of the Day -



What is your favorite type of music?




I enjoy all kinds of music. I like to listen to country when I'm in the car but if I'm at home then I listen to just about anything. I have my days where I get into a dancing mood and I turn on some Hip-Hop and Rap. I've also been known to listen to punk and pretty much anything that I feel like listing to.
It all depends on what kind of mood I'm in.



What about you?

Natural Dynamix Gummie Cuties for Kids are Gluten Free!!

#Sponsored by +naturaldynamix 


My oldest, Loran, was having trouble concentrating at school and her reading grades were starting to drop. Loran is a very smart child and she can read very well. Her school has their ready levels as Letters and Loran has made it a good ways through the alphabet, but she starting rushing herself and not focusing on the story topic along with answering her questions to fast... which would sometimes make them wrong. I started to worry that her focus problems were going to start affecting her grades at an extreme level and I didn't want to let it get that far.
I started researching online for natural ways to help my daughter focus better at school and with homework. I noticed that Omega-3 and fish oil seemed to be the main suggestions for helping with concentration and focusing issues. But could never settle something that I was willing to try.

During my search, I got an email that couldn't of came at a better time! I got an offer to try out Natural Dynamix Gummy Cuties for kids and the more I looked at their site, the more I realized that this company was sent to my family from someone with more power that me. I found myself looking at gummy vitamins that seemed to have just the right ingredients to help Loran focus, along with something that would benefit Jade as well.

Natural Dynamix  Gummy Cuties for kids are Gluten Free, the colors are from natural sources along with the flavors. They are also preservative free!!!

I quickly agreed and it wasn't long before I received 2 full sized bottles of Natural Dynamix Gummy Vitamins for my daughters. 


The vitamins I received for Loran are called 'Gummy Cuties Omega-3 DHA/EPA' They support kids focus and attention during their growing years along with brain and vision development. Jade received 'Gummy Cuties Calcium + Vitamin D' that are made to help grow and keep strong bones. Jade LOVES milk and use to drink a gallon jug in just 2 days! In the past few months, she has calmed down on her milk intake and I don't want her bones to start missing all the calcium that she use to pump into her body on a daily basis. I know that may sound odd but I'm not really sure how else to put it.
(I didn't even mention Jade's milk addiction, it was like they just knew what else to send us!)

The girls started taking their gummies the moment I opened the package!
They call them their Brain and Bone Gummies. I  it!!

It's been about a week and we have already started a morning and nightly ritual. It began as Jade only taking the "bone gummies" and Loran only taking the "brain gummies" but after a couple days we decided that both girls could benefit from taking both gummies. Loran and Jade now both take the 'Gummy Cuties Omega-3 DHA/EPA' vitamins before they jump on the bus every morning and their 'Gummy Cuties Calcium + Vitamin D' vitamins before they go to bed each night. They look forward to taking their gummies and bring them to me often. I was a bit worried that the Omega 3 gummies were going to have a fishy or bad taste but my daughters love the taste of both gummies and I've had no complaints.


To my surprise, Loran has already started improving at school! Her teacher mentioned that Loran has been focusing better and hasn't been rushing through her class work as much. I'm sure that with continued usage of the Gummy Cuties that Loran's grades will start to rise and she will continue to stay focused at school as well as at home. I couldn't be happier with the way Natural Dynamix has helped my family with their Gummy Cuties for kids. I'm telling all my friends about these wonderful vitamins!

Natural Dynamix also sales Adult Vitamins and Supplements as well. Some of their adult products include Krill Oil, Joint DX, Adult Gummies and more.
An adult vitamin review will be coming up in November. Keep a look out!

The Wigglo Pets Giveaway


Are you ready for a Cute and Fuzzy Giveaway??


This review/giveaway is hosted by The Momma And Boys



Wigglo Pets was created by two sisters ages 13 and 9 years old. What makes the pets great is that there is no mess, no walking, and no feeding. Maya and Madison started their company and has used it to raise money for Haiti Tsunami and for a Humane society. Now they are using a portion of their earning to go towards KidzForACure.org for pediatric cancer research. 





The Momma's Boy #1 was so excited to receive his Wigglo Pet. He named it Bob and carried to around on his shoulder. He even had to make sure all his friends saw it as well. 




He loved how when he would pet Bob, the Wigglo Pet, he would react to each touch. His friends and him have a blast with them.

Throughout my time as a blogger, I've learned that the most useful information that I've received has been from other bloggers. The blogger network is like a family; our connections and the ability to work together is what makes us successful.

There are many benefits of attending an online conference! My personal favorite is that it's less expensive and I don't have to worry about finding a babysitter for my daughters. I have trouble with babysitters as it is, trying to find one for a trip to another state for a conference would be like pulling teeth.... Very hard!

Being able to hold The Blog Workshop online, cuts out alot of the big purchases it takes to hold a conference. For example, the cost of a venue is not needed, along with the traveling costs of getting the speakers and attendees to the conference. Those costs being cut out, allow the hosts of The Blog Workshop to set a low registration price of $175! They even have a payment plan that breaks your registration into 2 separate payments. You can also get a Student/Teacher discount if you meet the requirements.
(To find out if you are able to get the Student/Teacher discount you can send an email to info@theblogworkshop.com or send a direct message Tweet to @TheBlogWorkshop)

Another wonderful thing about The Blog Workshop is that 10% of the ticket sales will get donated to Wellspring Living and the Atlanta Day Shelter for Women and Children



Wellspring Living's mission is to confront the issue of childhood sexual abuse and exploitation through awareness, training, and treatment programs for women and girls.

Atlanta Day Shelter's mission is to ease the burden of homelessness for women and children and to assist in establishing self-sufficiency by providing comprehensive education and supportive services in a manner that respects human dignity.

Attending The Blog Workshop you will also get the chance to win some wonderful prizes such as headphones from Subjekt, e-commerce solutions from Cloudswipe, video blogging equipment, LLC packages from LegalZoom and much more.

Homemade Remedies for Calluses and Corns



- Homemade Remedies for Calluses and Corns -


Get your feet Flip-Flip and Beach Ready!

So many people suffer from those hard little patched of built up skin called calluses. When a body part continually rubs against something, the tender skin forms a protective barrier of hard skin to protect the area that it feels is in danger of an injury. The hands and feet are the most common place for calluses to form. You can get ride of them, but it does take time.
There are even a few inexpensive and natural homemade remedies to help get rid of calluses along with a few for corns as well.



Licorice Paste:

It is said that Licorice paste contains estrogen-like substances that have the ability to soften the hard skin of calluses and corns.
-- To make Licorice Paste - Grind up 2 or 3 licorice sticks and add ½ teaspoon of petroleum jelly to the licorice mixture and rub the paste onto your rough problem areas.



Sugar Scrubs:

Place ¾ cup of granulated sugar in a dry jar and start adding mineral oil, while mixing, until you have a loose paste. Once your paste mixture is made, you have the option to adding essential oils (Lavender, Lilac, Peppermint, etc.) Mix everything together very well.
-- Use the Sugar Scrub by gently massaging it onto your skin in the shower or bath. It does wonders if you add it to your weekly routine. Not only does it work to help soften and heal calluses but it makes your skin super smooth after uses!
(Massage it onto your legs before shaving for a relaxing experience with soft and smooth after effect)



Temporarily Relieve the sharp pains of corns:

Soak your foot/feet, in a solution of Epsom salt and warm water for a few minutes. Afterwards, apply a moisturizing cream and wrap the foot in a plastic bag to hold in the moisture. Keep the bag on for a couple hours. (While watching tv or reading, etc) Remove the bag and gently rub the corn in a sideways motion with a pumice stone  Remember that this will only be a temporary solution and you will need to seek further care if the pain gets to bad to handle.



Chamomile Soak:

It is said that if you soak your feet in diluted Chamomile Tea  that it can be very soothing and will temporarily change the pH of the skin to help dry out your feet. The tea will stain your feet, but it will easily wash off with soap and water.
I've never tried this before but a close friend told me that it really works! It's worth a try right?!



Pineapple Peel and Oils:

Cut strips of a pineapple peel and completely cover the callus. Tape the pineapple peel in place and leave it on for a couple hours. Repeat this step everyday for a week, changing when necessary. The Enzymes and Acid content of the fresh pineapple will help to remove the callus. You can also apply several oils to the callused area several times daily including; wheat germ oil, castor oil, sesame oil, coconut oil and olive oil onto the callused area.

Question of the Day - April 23


PBS KIDS Caillou Shop




- Question of the Day -




School will be out for most kids in less that 2 months!! I can't believe it!
Are you planning a Family Vacation for this summer?



I would love to have set plans to do something fun and exciting with my kids but with my fiance's busy work schedule, it's hard to plan a big vacation. I'm hoping that we're able to squeeze in atleast one big trip. I want to make all the memories with my girls that I can while they're still little! They're growing up so fast, I can't believe they will be 6 and 7 in just over a month!!


Is your family planning a vacation?
