Professional 12 Set Makeup Brush Kit Review

I have not had a really nice makeup brush since the brush set I bought over 23 years ago. I loved that brush set and to be honest I don't know what happened to it. I think it was lost in the last move. We lost a lot of stuff in the last move but that is a whole other story.

I have bought a few brush sets over the years but they haven't been the quality I was looking for, and my children seemed to take the brushes to use and not return them. When this set came in I told them this is Mommy's set, no touchy. So far so good no brushes missing.

I don't put on makeup everyday, but when I do I like to have a good set of brushes in which to do it. The Petunia Professional 12 Set Makeup Brush Kit has met my needs. Believe it or not didn't even know what a foundation brush was until recently. I always thought it was a contour brush. See even at 42 you can learn something new.

One of my favorite things about this makeup brush set is the covers for the brushes, will sure help keep them neat and tidy. I will be enjoying this brush set for a long time coming. If you ever need to wash your makeup brushes I suggest a gentle baby shampoo to do the job. That is about as easy as it gets.

You can purchase the Petunia Professional 12 Set Makeup Brush Kit on here or  Amazon.

Vitamin C Serum with Premium Retail Gift Box Review

What I love most about any of the Vitamin C Serums is that they help with age spots. I haven't always used sunscreen when I should have, so I am glad that I have this to help with some of the damage. 

I was reading about one of the ingredients in the Vitamin C Serum called sea buckthorn oil, this ingredient is awesome on it's own. I had never heard of it and was surprised to see all it is used for. Check it out for yourself. 

The Vitamin C Serum comes in a dropper type bottle which means a little goes a long way. I usually put this on at night after I wash my face but before my moisturizer. If you want to use it on your whole body like I do you can mix it with some of your favorite body lotion.

You can purchase theVitamin C Serum on Amazon.

Dinner in Marksville x 3

Have been quite busy so I didn't get around to putting up my posts so here they are. Thursday I went shopping after my husband got out of college. I am a big coupon shopper and I new this was going to be a big order 3 carts actually for $150.00 to be exact and to think this store has triple coupons next week, so excited.

One of the deals we were able to get were Freshetta Pizza's for $3.24 each dinner done for Thursday night, we then stopped to feed the girls, they were home with the stomach flu that is going around these parts. Then after we went to Walmart to pick up a few other things we needed. Stopped by to drop of my Grand daughter Lainy's Birthday Presents, then I had enough time to drop my husband and Deanna off before heading off to Girl Scouts with Dorothy.

When we were done with Girl Scouts, we stopped to get chicken, and apple juice that was on sale at our IGA store. Next was over to do my merchandising jobs, with a quick stop to the Dollar store to finish off the Valentines Presents I have been working on for my girls. Then we made a quick stop to Kmart and took advantage of their 90% off sale, and I found a pair of King Size Sheets for 24.99. Grabbed those because King Size is so expensive.

Then we filled up on gas and headed home, where we had pizza and wings for dinner. I usually do a Salad but forgot to pick up a green to make one with.

Friday was pretty quite, Dorothy ended up staying home again because during the night she started vomiting again. This stomach bug was really holding on. Stayed home and just relaxed with the family after a long week of 3 of my girls being sick as well as one of my grand daughters.

We had Candied Chicken over white rice with green beans and carrots. The only thing I would change with this recipe would be to use less water and maybe even make the chicken pieces smaller. It tasted a lot like the Sweet Chicken my husband likes to get at the Chinese Buffet.

Today came with some snow. Basketball Game was canceled so we just picked up my News Papers, gotta get those coupons. I buy 10 papers a week. Other then that we have pretty much all done our own thing. We are getting ready to have dinner now which is Very Greek Grilled Chicken, couscous with pine nuts, and spinach with garlic and nutmeg. 

I didn't change the recipes so I am just listing the links in the names of the recipes. I will say however that the Green Seasoning for the Very Greek Grilled Chicken I was able to find the recipe for online under Greek Seasoning.

Going to finish the night off with some Rice Pudding. What did you have for dinner? 

Pet Stain Remover and Odor Eliminator - Prof Grade Review

With having 6 children 2 grand children 1 Saint Bernard and 5 Cats I am sure you can imagine our rugs get quite the work out. When our now 17 year old would forget to walk our Saint she would pee on the floor outside of her room which is a wall to wall carpet in a hallway that is used everyday. Now that my 12 year old is walking her she tends to pee in the downstairs bathroom although I am not sure why she changed spots. It is easier to clean because it is a flat surface and it doesn't happen that often.

Being married, raising our own children, and countless others over the years, we have never owned a steam cleaner before. That is until we had our grand children. We bought our steam cleaner a while back but only recently opened and set it up. My rugs now look better then when we moved in, but I never did the stairs.

Before our steam cleaner my husband would scrub up any of the messes from the pets or grand children. but a few years back he fell at work and had a total quad tear, it never did heal all of the way, so he can't do this anymore, with my Fibromyalgia is wasn't going to happen either, hence the steam cleaner purchase. 

Our Saint recently had a urinary infection and someone had locked the upstairs gate so she ended up peeing on the bottom ledge of our stair way. We put the rug there so at least when we move out the damage was on something we put in and not something of the landlord's. It has dried, been trampled on thousands of times with feet going up and down the stairs. I just never thought it would come out. 

I have to tell you I love my steam cleaner, and combining it with this Pro Vet Choice Pet Stain Remover and Odor Eliminator - Prof Grade , I am very happy with the results. 

You can purchase Pet Stain Remover and Odor Eliminator - Prof Grade on Amazon.

Nutritional Yeast Superfood Review

I have heard about Nutritional Yeast before but didn't really know how to use or what to even use it on. Then someone said that it has a cheesy taste and that if you pair it with say popcorn, potatoes, tacos, or salad, then I thought I might just be able to try this. 

The first thing I did was open the package and take a wiff. It does smell kind of cheesy so lets give it a try. So here I am after eating this on popcorn and my thoughts are I am going to use this more often. It does taste cheesy and this is something I can put on the children's food and they won't be able to taste the difference. I am really happy with this. 

What is even better about this Nutritional Yeast Superfood is that it is Vegan friendly. I have a daughter who just recently became Vegetarian, being a mom the first thing I worried about was if she was going to eat the right foods so that she wouldn't have any vitamin loss. So far she is dong great and we are on the same page as her. Along the path our whole family is making even better choices with food then we were before. 

You can purchase Nutritional Yeast Superfood on Amazon.

What SariFoods has to say about their product.
Why choose Natural, Non-Fortified Nutritional Yeast? 

Most nutritional yeast products are fortified with excessive amounts of synthetic vitamins to increase the nutritional count. We believe that synthetic, man-made vitamins are not only unnecessary, but that they can be harmful and toxic to our bodies, causing nutrient imbalances and forcing our kidneys and liver to work overtime while our bodies struggle to absorb them.

We can promise you this: the abundance of vitamins & nutrients plus the delicious cheese flavor found in this bag of molasses-grown nutritional yeast are 100% whole food based and naturally occurring - nothing synthetic here - just as nature intended! 

Our nutritional yeast is comprised of 50% protein (a complete, bioavailable and vegan source), over 20% fiber, contains all 18 amino acids and 15 different minerals (including iron, selenium and zinc) as well as a natural vitamin B-complex and Beta-glucans (known for their extreme immune enhancing properties).

Here are a few of the benefits of adding Nutritional Yeast to your diet:

OPTIMIZE YOUR HEALTH WITH SUPER NUTRIENTS. Our Nutritional Yeast is naturally comprised of 50% protein (a complete, bioavailable and vegan source), over 20% fiber, contains all 18 amino acids and 15 different minerals (including iron, selenium and zinc) as well as a natural vitamin B-complex and Beta-glucans (known for their extreme immune enhancing properties plus their ability to lower bad cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and some cancers).

LOSE WEIGHT NATURALLY. Enjoy guilt-free deliciousness with this salty, creamy, nutty, cheese-tasting superfood that can be sprinkled on just about everything and is bound to become your secret weapon in weight loss! In addition to being extremely low in calories, fat and sodium, it is dairy free, gluten free, MSG free and chocked full of vitamins, minerals, fiber and protein. Thank you mother nature! ***For cooking inspiration, you will receive a free Nutritional Yeast Recipe Ebook (50+ yummy recipes) — emailed to you after purchase.***

FIGHT AGING & FREE RADICALS. With highly absorbable amounts of nucleotides (the building blocks of DNA & RNA), Nutritional Yeast promotes cellular repair and regeneration. Then, by combining the two antioxidants glutathione and selenium, our Nutritional Yeast Flakes create a special enzyme called glutathione peroxidase that is known to neutralize free radicals and protect us from their damage.

END YOUR ENERGY CRISIS. 15-40% of Americans are deficient in B vitamins which can lead to deep and ongoing fatigue, brain fog, irritability, depression, and even insomnia (as they play a crucial role in melatonin production). The body depends on B6 to make the hormones serotonin and norepinephrine, which affect both mood and feelings of happiness. Improved Vitamin B intake helps us sleep well and helps balance our hormones. increase our energy levels, clarity & overall mental function.
