Holiday 2012 Influenster VoxBox

So I just got my second Influenster VoxBox in the mail the other day... This one I am MEGA excited about!! It had a bunch of fun and exciting things in it....

Here is what I found when I opened the box....

The first item was the Goody QuickStyle Hair Brush. It claims to help dry your hair 30% faster with these little microfiber bristle things in between the regular bristles. I tried this out on the first day, and so far I really like it! I think it did in fact help my hair dry faster. I am concerned that it might be difficult to clean hair out of the brush the way it is designed (I have long hair and tend to leave plenty behind after brushing)...But over all I think it is a pretty decent brush!

Next up...my all time favorite... The Quaker Oats Medleys--Cherry Pistachio!!!

I LOOOOVE Quaker Medleys....and somehow they knew the Cherry Pistachio was my favorite! One of the best things for breakfast. I've always liked oatmeal...but this brings it to a whole new level!! Every flavor is great, but the Cherry Pistachio gets a 10 all the way!!

The third item out of the box was NYC Lip Gloss. This went on pretty well and was a decent color...but seemed to dry my lips out pretty quickly. I'm sure that I will use it again, but it is definitely not the best lip gloss I have ever had. Not bad for a sample though!

Finally, the last thing in the package was a set of Kiss Nail dress, black and silver nail decals. Enough for a manicure and pedicure...I am really excited about these. Cant wait to give them a try. Will do a separate quick post on them when I finally get to use them later this week hopefully. They look really cool and I hope they look as great once they are on!

So that's that with the Holiday 2012 VoxBox...As always, thank you Influenster for this opportunity to try some great products!!

Multiple Sclerosis: Defined

Mommy & Abigail What exactly is Multiple Sclerosis? I've had many people telling me that they are glad I am all better and other people telling me that they are sure I will beat this. While I appreciate all of these warm wishes, I want to be sure that everyone understands how serious this really is. I've had a few customers that have acted as though I had a case of the flu and was now on the mend, and one even told me not to bother with the medicine the doctor prescribed but to just drink sugar water with lemon because that will fix me. MS is not something that you can overcome or beat. It isnt going anywhere. Like other diseases such as cancer, my MS could go into remission and there could be months or maybe even years where I remain relatively symptom free, but this crazy thing will always be lurking. I myself am still trying to come to terms with that overwhelming information. It is not just a temporary hiccup, but a lifestyle changer. I will not let it define me, ...

Dealing with a second trimester miscarriage, My Story.

Our third pregnancy... In August 2016, my husband and I decided we wanted our third (and final!) baby. We did "research" on old wives tales and statistics and any kind of information we could locate about how to increase the likelihood of getting our baby boy. (Although in reality we never cared about the gender, we just thought it would be nice to end with a little boy) We read about things to eat...things not to eat...things to do...you name it, we read about it. We started preparing with ovulation testers. Within a few days, I knew it had worked. We waited a few weeks, and I took a pregnancy test. It was positive. Soon after, at exactly seven weeks pregnant, the "morning sickness" started. Which, let me tell you...Morning sickness is a phrase that really irritates me. For me, it was NOT morning sickness. It was 24/7 non stop sickness. Anything could send me running to the bathroom to hug the porcelain throne. I was nauseated...

MEDICATION: Meant to "heal" me....but might be making me "feel" worse.....

I know I haven't written anything in FOREVER. To be honest, life just got in the way. Kids, family, projects, my health....everything. But as soon as I opened the mail this evening, I knew I needed to post something about this....and a little Facebook rant was just not enough. Every month I get this lovely statement in the mail from my Health Insurance company showing how much was paid out by my primary and secondary insurances for my prescriptions each month....... Side Note: I am absolutely not some pill happy person. I HATE taking medication. And what's worse, none of mine are easy little pills....they're all injections. Needles. God awful jabbing little things that I have to stick into my hips, tummy, and thighs. Hoping I don't hit a vein and bleed like a stuck pig or swell up like crazy....or get a bruise like someone has beaten me. I have had so many people ask me "Well, you take xyz for fatigue right?" or "you know about xyz f...
