Pinktober!
This past February I was diagnosed with stage 1c Ovarian Cancer, I am a 24 year old "healthy" as in never go to the doctor, female. I only discovered this news after learning that I was pregnant and scheduling my first ultrasound where incidently my tumor was found. I am now cancer-free after a pretty extensive surgery that resulted in me losing my left ovary and fallopian tube. But myself and my baby girl made it through surgery unscathed, minus a few staples (like 20 OUCH!)
September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness month which means a lot to me for obvious reasons, and followed by that is Pinktober! October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and I am so excited to announce that I am partnered with BrandBacker and Glamulet to bring forth more awareness this month and every month for Women's Cancers.

Sadly every 45 minutes a woman dies from breast cancer. We need to support this research as by hopefully someday another woman will not have to suffer this awful disease! Let me take this time as well to remind all women no matter what age to get YEARLY CHECKUPS do not ever let yourself skip a year.
Join myself and Glamulet in supporting this great cause! Cancer affects us all in some form or another and we all need to combine forces to combat cancer and make it a thing of the past!

Pudding Affair.
Ok. Stop what you are doing... stop right now. Go get you sum puddin! Let me start by saying.. it is not the easiest to find. Ended up going to upwards of 6 stores and finally found it at Big Y. I live in Connecticut so not sure if we are just pudding neglected or what.. needless to say, once you find it give it a hug.. go ahead. I'll wait...
I am usually a box pudding gal, I won't mention any brand names... but I'm sure you all know what i'm talking about...but as soon as I tasted this I knew my life would never be the same. Let me just say that I am sure I got many side eyes when I was standing in the checkout line with all four flavors piled up to my chin.. no shame.
These are the most creamy, rich, thick treats I have ever tasted. The dark chocolate flavor is DIVINE! Vanilla bean is a close second! Not a big fan of salted caramel in general so those went to my mom who said they were delicious. Overall you need to get these!
They are on sale this week at Big Y for $2.99 now that I think of it... I need to go indulge a little more. Here I go... off to indulge.

Take Care of Them Pearly Whites with Crest Pro-Health Mouthwash!
Tonight on the blog we're talkin stank breath, and tartar, and plaque OH MY!
Haha okay in all seriousness, we're all adults and have responsibilities and places to be and hands to shake so we have to make sure our breath is not revolting! That would be a mighty raunchy first impression am I right?
So fret no more! Crest is here to save the day with its new (to me) product Crest Pro-Health Advanced with extra whitening. Ugh what a mouthful! I received my product free for review from one of my favorite sites Bzzagent.com but you can pick you up some at your local Walmart and in the oral care aisle.... obviously lol.
What I enjoy most about this product is that it is alcohol free and I know that might be a deal breaker for some but for me my poor mouth is just too sensitive for all that burn. I've noticed that after giving birth to my daughter my mouth and gums have been so sensitive! I guess its a legit thing that happens with hormones and all that so who knows.. I was able to swish around for longer than usual ensuring that I was really letting the product work. I have not noticed any whiter teeth but that might come with time.
After brushing my teeth and using mouthwash I always do the slide test, where I take my tounge and slide it across my teeth to feel for any missed spots and surprisingly it felt just from the dentist clean. Run do not walk to your local Walmart and give this stuff a try! It is so worth it.
Here is a link to the product on Walmart.com and at my local Walmart it is priced fairly at $6.95

OZ Naturals
Pro-Retaxinol 2.5
Before I go into my personal opinion of this product I am just going to pull the key claims from the companies website regarding this product.
- Our CLINICAL STRENGTH 2.5% Retinol Serum is the highest concentration of retinol available without a prescription. It includes Astaxanthin and Vitamin E, which provide unmatched antioxidant properties and activate collagen and elastin production.
- Cruelty free
- Does not contain alcohol, parabens or sulfates and is safe for all skin types.
- Made in the USA
- OZ Naturals 2.5% Retinol Serum with ASTAXANTHIN is proven to minimize hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles and greatly improve texture and tone
Pretty impressive claims huh? So.. I have been using this product for over 2 weeks and I am pleasantly surprised, I always apply serum after my toner (I read somewhere that the trick to applying any skincare is that you start with the thinnest products first and finish off with more thick moisturizing creams, ex: cleanse face-apply toner-serum-eye cream-moisturizer/night-day cream.
This product has no scent which I LOVE nothing worse then a product smell lingering on your face all day. The bottle come with a spray pump which puts out a decent amount of product on each pump.
*This is one pump! Definetly enough to spread over your whole face, remember.. less is more!
The serum absorbs so fast and left my skin feeling soft and hydrated. The directions included with the serum say as follows
"Serums are delivery systems for ingredients. Cleanse exfoliate and pat skin dry. Apply toner before the serum. Apply a small amount to entire face, neck and decollete. Allow to dry. Follow with any OZ Naturals moisturizer. Can be applied daily and under makeup as well.
******Must apply sunscreen daily while using this product, as skin becomes very sensitive to UV light, and could cause hyper pigmentation when skin is left unprotected.
I picked my sample up on amazon.com where you can find yours for $24.99 and ships free with Prime! Here is the link that will bring you to this product :)
If you try this product let me know how you like it I'd love to know!!
Thanks for reading :) any questions regarding this or any product let me know :)
