The start of my weight loss journey

If you follow my page on Facebook you know that I have pledged to get real about this weight loss journey. The first day it got REAL was October 26th. I did two work outs and felt great. I was doing great for 4 days. Yep you read that right 4 straight days. Here I could start to give you all the excuses I have but bottom line I wasn't feeling it. I DO want to loss weight. I DO want to get healthier for my little. I DO know that requires me to actually do it. I have not given up or stopped. I have been eating better and have actually lost 5 pounds. I am giving myself credit for that for now. I will get this. Tomorrow is the start of a new week, here is to trying to make it a better week than before! 

Thinx - Underwear

Long time no write. I am so excited to be able to blog again. I have found a wonderful product to help  pregnant mommas, women who have had a baby and well just for some of those other embarrassing female moments.

I am sure you are sitting there asking your self what it could be. It is underwear. Yep underwear. These underwear can help you from embarrassing female moment. Moments from your period, incontinence and to ovulation days. Not only can they help with those, but these are not your granny's panties. They are stylish. They come in sizes xs to xxl. Here are a few examples. 

Their mission... 

THINX is committed to breaking the taboo surrounding the very natural occurrences of the female body. By reimagining feminine hygiene products to provide support, comfort, confidence, and peace of mind, THINX aims to eliminate shame, empowering women and girls around the world. 

Their Vision...

THINX sees a world where no woman is held back by her body. We will work proudly and tirelessly until every single girl has an equal opportunity for the brighter future that she deserves.
We will be the trusted source for all things feminine hygiene, from underwear to education, and we will never stop innovating for girls and women around the world. 

It started with a question. "Why aren't you in School?" The answer was "It's my week of Shame."

What they discovered was that 100 million girls around the world are falling behind and dropping out simply because they lack access to proper menstrual sanitation. So, they coupled the innovative concept of smarter underwear—which, let’s face it, we all need—with the socially conscious concept of providing girls and women in the developing world with washable, reusable pads, allowing us all to live our lives fully, and shamelessly, every day of the month. 

Why do I love this company...Well there are several reasons. Let's face it if you have ever been pregnant and had a kid kicking, punching and dancing on your bladder, I am sure you have worn so many pads to stop the embarrassment of leaking. Think about how amazing it would have been if you could have just worn your underwear. After being pregnant many women can suffer from incontinence and wearing a pad is not always comfortable, these underwear can help. I also love the fact that this company is doing some good besides making a wonderful product. For every pair of underwear bought, they fund 7 reusable cloth pads for a girl in a developing country. It's not everyday you can buy something wonderful and helpful for yourself and know you are helping someone else.

I know I can not wait to get my hands on a pair of these. Want to get a pair you can get them at www.shethinx.com. You can also find them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/SheTHINX. Be sure to check them out and like them on Facebook.

Wool Dryer Balls

If you are like me, you may be looking for ways to make your home safer for your little one and/or save money. I was reading about wool dryer balls and how they can help decrease your dry time and I wanted to give them a try.

I found a wonderful small business that makes them, Sheepy Spheres. They are made in Minnesota which makes them even better in my eyes. They are 100% wool, making them eco friendly and non toxic. You can get scents added to them so that your clothes have that dryer sheet smell, different colors and custom designs. One of the scenting options is Essential Oils.

I ordered three with the lavender vanilla scent and I am absolutely in love. I love the way my clothes smell and I have noticed the dry time has gone down. I love that my dry time has gone down saving me money and I do not need to buy dryer sheets. All around saving me money and who doesn't like to save money! If you are on the fence, I 110% recommend that you give them a try. I promise you will not be disappointed!

You can also use the wool balls as a natural dog or kid toy. Although, not scented or to also use in the dryer.
