Trash to Treasure

So a while back I found a Cracker Barrell rocker in the garbage on the side of the road. I admit, at first I regretted grabbing it- it was heavy, bulky and barely fit in my car. But after stopping on the road- it was too late to turn back. I made it fit and was on my way. When I got home I looked it over more carefully. It was dry rotted in one spot, had some paint chipping but was sturdy.  So after one can of $4 spray paint, a new chair cushion from Pier One for $20 and a throw pillow from Big Lots for $8 this rocker had new life! Total project cost $32! What do you think? 

We tried Shein!

If you are on social media by now you’ve seen atleast one advertisement for Shein. Their ads always feature an adorable model and some cute boutique-y top for a super reasonable (cheap!) price. I always read the comments, we are all wondering the same thing “Are you catfishing us?” You know the places that you order a gorgeous dress in an adult size and it comes ready to fit a toddler.  So in my hunt for bathing suits for my teenage daughter, Shein drew me in once again. Two piece bathing suits suits for $12!! What?? So with no expectations, I decided it was worth a shot to order. $33 for two bathing suits shipped! Before I hit submit, I chalked this $33 up as a donation to Shein, again no expectations on what we would get. Sooo, it took about 2 weeks to get our package, not too bad. The original shipping estimate was 4 weeks. So when our packages arrived today I was pleasantly surprised. Before I opened the package I reminded myself, sometimes things are too good to be true.  I have t

World MS Day

Today is World MS Day.  Multiple Sclerosis affects over 2.3 million people around the world. I am one of these people. In October 2018, after months of numbness and nerve pain, at 43 years old, I received a positive diagnosis. I’m not sure how long I’ve actually had MS, it’s possible I’ve had it for much longer.  My first relapse/symptoms started days after a tragic family event. I am grateful that it only took 10 weeks for me to get a positive diagnosis, so many people fight for a diagnosis for years. I currently receive Ocrevus infusions every 6 months, this has been a miracle drug for me. I tried one DMT before Ocrevus and while my MRIs remained stable the side effects were too much.  This last year and a half has taught me so much, I’ve spent a lot of time grieving for myself. I have finally reach a point of acceptance. I’m not sure what the future will bring.  I believe in the advancements in treatments, my incredible doctors and my Faith. Here are some great facts about MS : http

Help for Dark Sun Spots on Face - under $5!

I spend a lot of time in the sun over summer, between baseball and soccer for my kids, I am in sun alot. I love to get a summer tan but the minute I step outside I get these dark sun spots on my face.  Even though I wear a moisturizer with a high SPF, I can't say I was as good about it when I was younger and as I get older I notice them more. I searched for years and tried a dozen products that never seemed to work to help lighten the spots.  Someone recommend AMBI to me and it was cheap enough on Amazon so I tried it.  Of all the products I have tried, I feel like this one actually works.  I do not have to use it year round, just when spring/summer hits.  I put it on under my moisturizer, you do not need a lot to cover your face, so a small tube goes a long way.  I am not totally in love with the smell, its not horrible but it smells like medicine. A 2oz tube is under $5 on Amazon. https://amzn.to/2McPALW Affiliate Link
