Natural Remedy for Spring Allergies

Posted on March 20, 2012 by Brandy | 0 Comments

Jeremy has some huge sinus issues. It effects him pretty badly and causes horrible sinus headaches. A few years back I had suggested he try a Neti-pot. I had known a few friends that used them with great results. What could it hurt? He agreed. I remember the first time he tried it, ha I was laughing so hard…

Natural Inflammation Relief!

Posted on December 9, 2011 by Brandy | 4 Comments

I get to test out a lot of skin care items. So far I have found a lot of great ones, but one thing that happens with me is when I use something for too long it quits working as well. I have found that alternating a few products works well for me. My favorite products are the natural ones….

Coral Kids’ Toothpaste Review

Posted on September 30, 2011 by Brandy | 0 Comments

I have this weird fear about my kids and toothpaste. I always think they are going to swallow too much of it throughout their childhood. This is why I opt to get safer toothpastes for the girls. Coral Kids’ Toothpaste is one of those safer alternatives to regular toothpaste. We were able to try it out. It has natural ingredients…

Mosquitoes in Texas are horrible! They are huge too, like Longhorns! We live very close to the lake which makes Mosquitoes an even bigger issue for us. Thing is, we like to be outside a lot.

We keep it as natural as possible at this house. When my girls are a little bit sick I am not that mom that is rushing them to the doctor, or pumping them full of meds. We try things like Lemon and Honey, Chicken Noodle Soup, Spicy Foods and homeopathic or natural medicines. When I’m really sick I like Tabasco on everything…

I have been keeping my family healthy with Xigo. I can see you trying to sound it out…it’s pronounced chee-go. Uh, what does that mean? I know I was wondering so I did some looking around and found out it is the ancient Asian concept of life force. Cool. I’m all about the force of life! Life is good! Now…

Thanks to Rosie Hippo and Buzz Mommy, my little ones now have two new best friends! I am truly in love with these little critters just as much as Lauren and Emma are! I love real toys. I’m not a big fan of today’s toys. I like toys that encourage imagination and real play. I think imagination is something that…

My Experience With Mineral Makeup

Posted on August 4, 2009 by Brandy | 134 Comments

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED! I’m 34 1/2 years old and I had never tried Mineral Makeup. I’m pretty much a makeup idiot. Seriously, I wear foundation, Powder, Lipstick, Eyeliner and very very rarely Mascara. I don’t do blush or Eyeshadow. I’m just makeup ignorant and I certainly never ventured into Mineral Makeup. It sounded like it would be pretty…
