I despise shaving. I always end up cutting myself, missing spots and I always have to do it every few days in order to stay smooth. PLUS, the super smoothness only lasts about a few hours so if I plan on a weekend getaway I have to plan my shaving perfectly. Kinda of annoying, right?

So instead I wax. It lasts weeks, I don't have to deal with any burning cuts and aside from the quick pain associated during the process it's virtually pain free. But then here's the thing about it: it can be costly. I get my legs, underarms and lady parts waxed every six weeks and that adds up! I did my legs and underarms less often when I was living in New York City but now that I'm wearing skirts without tights for a few more months that just won't do. Besides, my boyfriend loves the smoothness of my skin!

I've never thought about trying to wax myself because I'm a bit of a chicken but I'm a huge fan of trying new things and saving money so when Sugaring Factory, LLC offered to let me try their sugar wax I was all in!

Before I attempted the product I made sure to not shave for a few days in order to have something for the wax to hold on to and then I of course read the instructions. One fear that I have with at home waxing is burning myself so I followed the instructions step by step. And I have to say that they were extremely clear. I wanted to start with my legs because I'm a lot more tolerable there and I made my boyfriend give me a hand because I probably would chicken out when it's time to remove the wax. We tested the wax, as instructed, to make sure that it wasn't too hot and off we went. We were both scared to do it. Him of hurting me and me of the pain but once I instructed him on the exact way to pull we got a decent amount out in one shot. We kept on going until everything was gone and then proceeded on the other leg. This isn't something that I'd be able to do myself I think but it's nice to have a partner in crime to help with the process.

All in all it wasn't a thing to do for the first time and I'm glad that the instructions were super clear. I also really like that the Sugaring Paste came wrapped insanely secure so that nothing could seep out, even though the container itself is also wrapped.

I think I'm going to try my underarms next because I'm super happy with the results as well as the process.

Coffee is one of those things that I can't stop drinking. Not because I think it's cool like I did when I was in College, but now I drink it for warmth, because I love the taste and because it gives me something to do.

I of course don't drink it black so I have to be really careful with what I put in it for flavor. I've been on a crazy workout kick since July (42 lbs gone! WOO HOO!) and cannot afford to mess that up by consuming beverages. Normally I drink my coffee with whipped cream, coconut milk and mocha syrup but because I want to cut back on the sugar I've been using Xylitol by Morning Pep.



This Xylitol is great because it's natural and 100% sugar free. It's the number 1 sugar substitute right now  and is rich in minerals like potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron and so many others. There isn't a ton to say about this aside from it being a great substitute for sugar in coffee, tea, baking and whatever else you like to have sweet!

Here are some things that Morning Pep has to say about their 100% Pure Natural Sweetener: Xylitol

I'm a total lover of spaghetti. I love how it looks, how it grabs on to sauce, and how great it tastes when mixed with grilled chicken of ground beef. But, I don't love the carbs in it. So I've been trying to find ways to cook and eat it without having to pack on the extra pounds. Especially since the summer is just around the corner and I want to lose the extra pudge that I packed on in this surprisingly cold SoCal winter.

On came Veggetti Spiral Vegetable Slicer. I never gave any of these a try before because they just never looked like they were sturdy enough to actually work correctly. I was pleasantly surprised with this one though because the edges were sharp (be careful!), it was easy to use, and my carrots and zucchini didn't turn into mush when I attempted to use it.





I was able to make a delicious meal with zucchini pasta recently and was very pleased with the results. The zucchini kept it's crunch which is something I was always worried about because I assumed it would get soggy really fast.



Now I'm excited to make other types of "pasta" to continue on my low carb journey!

Oh wrinkles. No one likes you. We don't want you on our clothes and we definitely don't want you on our face. But anyone over the age of 25 has at least a few. At XXX years of age (ha!) I have a few fine lines that are noticeable when I look in the mirror long enough. I attribute the lack of a totally wrinkled face to not being super old, having great genes and being obsessive with my skin care regiment as a whole. I do skip a day, or week sometimes when it comes to applying my serums but on average I'm very OCD about the whole thing.

My biggest concern these days is wrinkles. I want to delay their visibility as much as possible. I used to do this by using my retinol cream but after it working like a dream for what seems like forever, my skin started to react poorly to it. I had to stop putting it on because of the dryness that it was creating but that put me in a bind because my skincare regiment was just lacking something major. 




My latest discovery, Revivinol Serum. It's a serum that contains zero retinol but gives all the benefits of it. It's able to do this with Revivinol which is the first real natural alternative to retinol, my one time love. Basically it's like a silky iron or tightener on your face. So far I'm not having any adverse reactions to it, which is great because my skin has been showing a wee bit of sensitivity these days, so I'm happy with the results. And because I wear a little bit of argan oil in the mornings as well as sunblock I know I don't have anything negating the the positive results from this moisturizer.

If I had lines on my face that were more noticeable I'd probably see more obvious results but I'm happy with what it's doing so far and how it moisturizes my skin.
