Maya Rudolph for Seventh Generation!

Maya Rudolph for Seventh Generation!

Maya Rudolph, actress from many great movies like Bridesmaids, is in a few hilarious commercials for Seventh Generation. She expresses her love for their products in hilarious ways! In one of the videos she explains that Tampons and Pads for women do not need all those fancy additives like deodorants and fragrances.... Then the companies do not tell you what ingredients and additives they have in the tampons or pads. You have the right to know what you are using for your body. Seventh Generation is on a campaign to make these businesses #ComeClean about their ingredients.

Check out this hilarious video here!

My #SproutVoxBox from Influenster!!

My #SproutVoxBox from Influenster!!

A couple weeks ago I received another fantastic box from Influenster!!

This one was called the Sprout VoxBox and was full of products perfect for Spring! It contained sample sizes of Hair Food Shampoo and Conditioner, Ecos Laundry Detergent, Orgain Protein Drink, and a full sized bag of Eat Smart Chips and a full Curate Bar.

Hair Food:
I have tried Hair Food Leave-In products before, but not the shampoo/conditioner, so I was very excited to use these! 
The scent of both products was great! Very clean, and lightly fruity. The shampoo lathered well, and was easy to rinse. The conditioner was soo soft, and also easy to rinse. After using the products, I let my hair air dry, and surprisingly my hair was less frizzy, and was very pretty. I have naturally wavy hair, so my hair is always an issue. Its usually thick, frizzy, and all over the place. These products helped out tremendously. 

Ecos Laundry Detergent:
This was a simple laundry detergent, that cleaned very well. Super light scent, and perfect for everyone. It won't harm your skin!! I used this confidently on my newborn daughters clothes, and never had a problem. worked perfectly!! 

Orgain Protein:
I am very picky when it comes to protein drinks. Its hard for me to find drinks that I like, that do not have the chalky, thick, overpowering taste. Surprisingly, I really liked this protein drink. It didnt taste too weird, and it filled me up after drinking it... Definitely did its job. I wouldnt say it gave me energy after drinking, but I was not hungry for sometime afterwords. The vanilla flavor tasted great as well!!

Eat Smart Chips:
These were my absolute favorite out of the whole box. They were delicious!!! The chip was thin, yet very crunchy, and the Black Bean flavor was strong, but not too strong... Just right. It left an awesome after taste as well. Not bland, not dry. Yummy chips for sure.

Curate Bar:

This was an interesting snack bar. I loved the flavor choice, and the healthy aspects... but the bar itself was a little too thick and hard to eat. It had a plain taste, and was a little chalky to me. I wouldn't purchase this frequently, but maybe as a once in a while super healthy snack.

Anti Third Trimester Pregnancy Depression/Disappointment

Oh Brain.... how I love you....
Especially my pregnant brain....
That is currently an emotional wreck from decreasing and increasing anti-depressants....
And that is overflowing with anxiety because I'm about to push out a baby...

Am I ready?
Can I handle it?
Why am I so mean?
Am I a bad mom?
Why do I feel like I am, and that I am doing everything wrong?
Am I a failure? People have babies and have other kids all the time and seem to handle it....
Why is basically every word that comes out of my mouth bitchy?
Is it because I'm moody, or am I just a bad bitchy person?
Why does my heart hurt?

These are just some of the questions that run through my mind daily.... I just can't win. When I think I finally got a handle on things, BAM. I get slapped with reality. Especially right now, I'm in a boxing match with myself... and feel like I'm getting knocked out. I'm sad because I'm sad. I'm worried because how much can other people handle me, when I cant handle myself. My worst fear is everyone leaving... and I'm feeling like I'm forcing it to eventually happen. I'm frustrated because I can't do everything normally. I can't function it seems like... I'm tired, I'm huge... I;m disappointed in myself because I should be sucking it up, and dealing with it. I alone am making all this chaos and emotions come out. I'm sorry because I upset everyone... Even if you don't show it, I feel it. I know... and I'm sorry.

Should I just act like everything is okay? I feel like its just the same old story over and over... How much is too much? Get over it right? I know, I know... Why whine and cry about it over and over. This is what I tell myself every time. So why can't I stop? Its a never ending story with my mind giving me all the wrong answers.

My brain is such a big ball of mess.... and its hurting.... hurting so bad. All I can think of saying is I'm sorry. I don;t really know how else to explain it, or handle it, I just.. I just have no idea.
