MOMS MEET REVIEW: Sir Bananas Bananamilk
Moms Meet recently sent the kids and I some coupons to try the NEW Sir Bananas Bananamilk!
Thanks so much Moms Meet! This drink was great! I loved it, and so did my kids! We received a coupon for a FREE carton of regular bananamilk, and another coupon for a FREE carton of chocolate bananamilk! They were both delicious!
The regular bananamilk was great on its own, tasted just like fresh bananas dipped in milk! Sounds great right?! We also used it in our morning cereal for breakfast, and it added a great little extra flavor to the average cereal. I was excited because it was healthy, my kids were excited because it tasted like a treat.
The chocolate variety we only used for drinking alone. It was awesome. It had the perfect amount of banana flavor, and the perfect amount of chocolate flavor. This was my 2 year old son's favorite. He loves anything chocolate! I was more than happy to give this to him because I know exactly whats in it, and that its much better for him than other chocolate milks we have purchased.
At first I was skeptical of bananamilk. I wondered if it tasted weird, or too different... but in reality this beverage in both flavors tasted way better than I would have ever thought. I would recommend it to anyone with kids because I know your kids will love it. If they love milk, and they love bananas, they will absolutely love Sir Bananas Bananamilk!!
Thanks again Moms Meet!! :)

Generation Good: Seventh Generation's Free and Clear Laundry Detergent REVIEW
Generation Good: Seventh Generation's Free and Clear Laundry Detergent REVIEW
Have you head of Seventh Generation? Of course you have!! Its a fabulous brand that makes organic and natural household products! They make everything from dish detergent, to body lotions, to baby diapers. They basically make everything!
I am a member of Seventh Generation's Generation Good Community. I learn about a lot of their different products, and even get to try some. A couple weeks ago they sent me some Seventh Generation Free and Clear Laundry Detergent to try for FREE! Woo hoo, thanks guys!!
This laundry detergent is awesome. Its a plant based formula, so there is no dyes, fragrances, or artificial brighteners. It's absolutely perfect for sensitive skin! Also for being fragrance free, it doesn't smell terrible or plain, it actually has a nice little clean scent.
I used this on my children's clothes for about two weeks. I love it! It worked well on all the stains the kids made, and the clothes were nice, clean, and smelled great. It worked just as well as all the other expensive, chemically filled, bleachy detergents. I am 100% satisfied with the results I'm seeing! I would recommend this detergent to everyone, especially people with allergies or small children. Can't beat it! Thanks Seventh Generation for letting me try it for FREE!!

Fight.
Abusers are always abusers.
Trust me... No matter how much someone seems to have changed, that abuser is still in there.
I am standing up and fighting my abuser. My mental abuser. They put on a show for everyone, acts like they are so great and innocent... Meanwhile they are coming up with a plan in their head, a plan to get back at me, and to "Mr. Nice Guy" their way out of trouble.
Instead of going to court, where they know they will loose, they convince everyone to drop it, and just settle out of court. Get face-to-face with me, their victim. You think you're in the clear... you will be able to manipulate me, and scare me.... get in my head like you did for years. What you don't know is I am different. I won't allow you to do this to me anymore. My child is involved now... so you don't stand a chance. You think you can talk me down, save your ass from going to jail... I won't give in.
You're scared. You didn't follow any of the rules or agreements we settled on. You know you're facing trouble. You think you can always get your way, so you make this plan. I know exactly how you are, so now, I know exactly how to deal with you. I won't back down. You will get what you deserve one way or another. You can't, and you won't control me anymore. Be prepared for a fight.

Tales from this past week...
Oh what a week this was!
My anxiety has been terrible this week.
The worst night would have had to been Thursday night. I laid in bed, way past my bedtime, and my mind was going nuts.
"Why me?"
"I miss my baby so much, I'm a terrible mother for ripping his life apart like this." (Isaac spent the night at his dads house, my separation anxiety was in full heartbreak mode.)
"How am I going to get through these months of being pregnant? I'm already miserable."
"Holy shit, I'm going to have a baby in a few months." (It sinks in hard sometimes.)
"Why can't I stop thinking and just get over all of this stupidness?"
Basically my mind was being psycho, and its a never ending battle against myself.
This week Isaac was quite the little monster, haha. He is so hyper, and keeps me on my toes. He now knows how to get into the fridge and help himself to anything and everything, and has been super lovey lately. He gives me tons of hugs and kisses all on his own... and I'm loving every bit of it! I soak it all in... before I know it he will be a teenager who's embarrassed by me. Oh man... I don't even want to think about that....
My Mister J has been so helpful with my crazy freak outs. He talks to me all day from work to keep an eye on me. He understands, listens when I'm upset, holds me when I cry, and puts up with my pregnancy mood swings. He's a catch for sure. I sometimes am lost with all of this... Never in my life had I had someone who cares this much. My last relationship damaged me... instead of help, I received judgment, and anger. The worst thing you want to hear when you're depressed is how selfish and weak you are. I have a heard time letting go when I'm upset, just because I'm so used to being let down. Thank you my darling J. I appreciate it more than I could ever show.
In work related news...
No giveaways/prizes have been won by me this week... which is a bummer. I have been increasing my giveaway game though.. so hopefully some wins will come my way.
I did receive a box full of NeilMed products from Mom's Meet. Need a Nasal-Oral Aspirator? I only have about 20 of them that I need to find something to do with, haha. There's only so many things you can do with these sinus teapots, but hey, thanks Mom's Meet! I love free. :)
Do you have any fun tales from this week? I would love to hear about them!! Tell me below! GO!
My anxiety has been terrible this week.
- Make my boyfriend leave work to go with me to my appointments... Check.
- Cancel my therapy appointment because I was too nervous to leave the house... Check.
- Put off all the phone calls for appointments I need to make because I was to chicken to talk on the phone... Check.

INFLUENSTER REVIEW: L'Oreal Paris Advanced Extraordinary Oil Haircare
INFLUENSTER REVIEW: L'Oreal Paris Advanced Extraordinary Oil Haircare
Influenster sent me a new L'Oreal Paris Shampoo, Conditioner, and Serum set to try! I knew this would be perfect for my step-daughters because they have dry, curly, thick hair.
I used the set on little 5 year old Savannah, and it worked wonders!! The shampoo and conditioner smelled great, was easy to use and rinse, and I was happy with it. While her was still wet, I used the serum all over her hair, and brushed it though. It was very oily on my hands, but looked good in her hair. I let her hair air dry, and the finished hair looked great! All her curls were cute and frizz free (which is hard to accomplish with her very curly hair) and had a wonderful not-too-greasy shine!
I would recommend this set to anyone that has frizzy, unmanageable hair. It does contain oil, so if you have very oily hair don't use it!! It truly does give you #ExtraordinaryHair!
I received these products complimentary for testing purposes.

CROWDTAP REVIEW: NEW Garnier Whole Blends Shampoo and Conditioner!
CROWDTAP REVIEW: NEW Garnier Whole Blends Shampoo and Conditioner!
The wonderful Crowdtap has once again sent me some awesome new products to try and tell you about!!
Garnier Whole Blends Shampoo and Conditioner!
The Whole Blends collection comes in three different varieties...
The Honey Treasures shampoo and conditioner strengthens and repairs damaged hair. It is also made with a natural blend and is paraben free. The scent for this one was lighter and more sweet. A honey can be smelled as well. It was soft as well, and worked really well through my hair. I did not notice anything different in my hair after styling, but it could take a few washes to notice if its strengthening your hair. My hair smelled wonderful throughout the day though, witch is was I always want!
The Coconut Oil and Cocoa Butter shampoo and conditioner claims to tame and control frizzy hair... which is what I need most out of my shampoo and conditioner!! As with the other varieties it is also made with a natural blend and is paraben free. This one had my favorite scent of the three with a cocoa butter scent that just smelled so clean. It was easy to use, easy to rinse, and my hair was easy to style... As the day went on I did notice that my hair stayed more in place and frizzed a little less than average. The cocoa butter scent also stayed throughout the day, and my hair was silky smooth. This was my favorite variety out of the three!!
All of them were great, and offered different solutions to common problems... So they're perfect for everyone! All of them are all natural, which is an even greater bonus! I would recommend them to everyone, no matter what hair type or problem you have!
