THE ACCENT THAT MAKES THE ROOM

About 3 months ago, we did a DIY bathroom remodel. You might remember? I changed the old bathroom traditional shower curtain to a curved shower curtain, courtesy of my friends at Home Perfect.  The room was drastically transformed because of one simple change. We repainted, changed up a shower head, and we added a new area rug  from Mohawk Rugs!

For years we had this ugly runner in our bathroom that did nothing for the paint, the decor and really did not even help out with wet feet, so I am not sure why it was there, but the new area rug, accents the room, gives it a bit of life and makes the kids feet happy!  I actually love it because it is a good mix of adult and kid friendliness all compiled into one area rug that offers floral accenting.  The area rug allows you to feel comfortable when you are in the room.  I chose the area rug because there are boys and girls and it had to be gender neutral!  The room looks amazing and when we were getting our make up done for the RedBook photo shoot we participated in, our make up artist told me she, ‘LOVED the look of that room and the area rug!” That sealed the deal! She loved how it coordinated with the shower curtain.

Cora – Beige is the name of the area rug and it has no latex backing on it.  It is 36 x 60 and it is spot cleaned only. I simply vacuum it one time per week and it looks great! It is very durable, and it is comfy to the feet!  I love that the flowers are fun and friendly and yet just there.  The background of beige lends itself well to our wall color and the simplicity of the design has won the seal of approval from my family! I looked at a lot of area rugs for the bathroom, but this one fit and complimented the shower curtain.  It was a bit different for me to go with floral as I usually am a more plain design person, but this works!  You can find this particular area rug at Kohl’s!

Choosing a rug is probably one of the hardest things I have ever had to do.  You have to learn how to pick the right size, and that all depends on what room it is going in and where it is going; under a table, in front of a dresser, closets, etc!  Mohawk made that easy for me, as I used their website for guidance! The Mohawk website, has a lot of valuable information on it and I studied it  to see who the company really was, that I was accepting a product from.  Here is what I found out about Mohawk! What a great company!

CRAVING PB? TRY PB CRAVE

This post may contain affiliate links or be sponsored. Please see our Disclosure Policy.

I have reviewed so many different foods over the last few years and some I can remember and some I can’t, but this review of PB Crave is one that is lasting!

PB Crave

My one son is highly allergic to peanut butter, and while I would love to tell you that we don’t keep any peanut butter in the house, with 2 other children without the nut allergy it is impossible! My son’s allergy is one that is that when ingested he is allergic, but he can tolerate the smell of it and does not(thankfully and knock on wood) break out when he is around peanut butter!  We are forever buying peanut butter because my kids are in the growing stages, where they eat everything not bolted down 24/7 and sometimes the best choices are just good old peanut butter and jelly sandwiches because they are quick, easy and filling! While he did not get to try this wonderful snack, my other children welcomed it into their Peanut Butter stash and devoured it!

PB Crave sent a great treat to my door and I have to tell you at the beginning I thought, ‘ew gross’ but the peanut butter from PB CRAVE is anything but gross! PB Crave is made with the most natural peanut butter, honey and mouth-watering flavors you will find!  The blends include: Bananas flavor, dark chocolate, raspberry, cookie dough and more!  One bite is never enough and your mouth will thank you!  Here is what you won’t find in the peanut butter:

hydrogenated oil, artificial flavors, high fructose syrup, gluten,  and cholesterol.  You will find that the PB Crave is made in small batches and is USDA approved manufactured! –

I have to tell you, the Cookie Nookie rules supreme in our house! I literally think I could have stuck my head in the jar if it would have been wide enough!  This is excellent on ice cream!  But, the Razzle Dazzle earns a close second because on Water Crackers a whole new snack evolves!

If you want your peanut butter to have a purpose, get the PB Crave, you will undoubtedly enjoy some of the best peanut butter combinations ever!

BAKED LENTIL CHIPS

This post may contain affiliate links or be sponsored. Please see our Disclosure Policy.

Summer time challenges include kids, and their bottomless pits as well as their snack choices not always being the best!  If you like snacking you probably look for products that offer the following combinations: Gluten Free, NON GMO,  offer at least 50% less fat as an option and provide a nice serving of fiber.  I look for this combination because my kids are always eating and I want them to snack healthy, not just snack on senseless food and wasted calories.  My search led me to  learn more about Baked Lentil Chips from Mediterranean Snacks.    My son with all the allergies is actually able to eat these chips, but check the packaging for your allergies as everyone has different food allergies.

Baked Lentil Chips are heart healthy and are really delicious.  A bag of baked lentil chips is gluten free, and has high protein, and consists of lentils, garbanzo and adzuki beans.  You don’t have to be hosting a million dollar party to offer these chips, you just have to want a clean, heart healthy alternative to chips.

We dipped our chips in guacamole, partnered them up with sliced avocado, sliced tomato and fresh mozzarella and made mini sandwiches and we placed the baked lentil chips across a minestrone soup and each combination was tasty and delectable.  The crunch of the baked lentil chip is amazing.  The chips are like very thin crackers that offer a crunch.  These are a great summer time party chip because they work well with any food creation from the grill like grilled zucchini and asparagus to basic patio dips!

We also found another combination that I had to share with you, because it just makes snacking yummy!  We made hot buffalo shrimp dip and placed the baked lentil chips around the tray for snacking and within minutes the chips were gone!  The chip has the ability to be dragged through dip and not break,  it crunches heartily, and is light to touch!

There are a few different flavors for you to enjoy: Rosemary, Cucumber Dill, Cracked Pepper, Sea Salt, Fiery Tomato and Parmesan Garlic.

Enjoy snacking with a heart-healthy alternative, baked lentil chips from Mediterranean Snacks.

A bird had done its THING On my new mat!

LOSE THE WEIGHT WITHOUT DIETING … IT’S TRUE!

This post may contain affiliate links or be sponsored. Please see our Disclosure Policy.

I have been inundated with emails about the post of Garcinia Cambogia.  I suppose the fact that I have personally been using  Garcinia Cambogia, that I checked with my Dr. before I started and that I have lost over 9.5″ in under 4 weeks makes me the ‘resident’ authority on it:)   My friends, 6 of them to date, have been using the same product, just to test what I was testing and they are all seeing a difference in how their clothing is hanging even after just 2 weeks on their end!

 

This is an amazing product.  I have been watching the change in belly fat and inches all over my body and I can not say enough Great about it! I will make this very specific statement: you must check with your Dr. before starting, get the Dr.’s clearance, as I am not  a Dr! I just tried this out and wrote about it.  I would  never tell you to start something without a full discussion with your PCP!.  I actually talked to my specialist about it and now his staff is trying it out!  What I can tell you is that I have used the product, I am not disappointed in the product and it continues to work without much effort on my behalf!  If you combine this with exercise you will see even greater results!

While I am not recommending any brands, because I am not a brand ambassador for these companies, I will offer you a few that I have found that meet the criteria of Dr. Oz’s wish list if you were to purchase Garcinia Cambogia:

GCE – Garcinia Cambogia Extract

50% (or greater) HCA/Potassium

You will need 1500-3000 mg per day

Take this on an empty stomach ONE hour before you eat.

Make sure product has no binders, fillers, or artificial ingredients.
