I've never needed a fresh start in my life more than I do right now. The baby is 5 months old and it is time for me to step back into reality! I've been living on the processed crap in my cupboards and Pepsi for 5 months. I've been running around in circles attempting to make sense of the chaotic mess my house has become. And I've let myself and my health go completely out the window. So Friday I decided to take a step towards getting myself back:: I cut off 5 inches of hair. It felt great! I felt like a human again!
And I know it's a small step, but I took one.
Stay tuned for more small steps as I try to find myself under all this mess...and yes, one of my goals is to work on being less critical of myself.

Really?
Ack! I can't believe the last time I posted was last November! That is just terrible. So much has happened in my life since then and the biggest of these is the arrival of our precious little boy on Valentine's Day! He has been taking up most of my time and last week I started working again part time, which is a lot harder than I imagined it would be. Thank goodness I have a great family who is willing to help me get the time in that I need! During my time off with the little man, I did a lot of thinking of things I'd like to blog about and I have a short list of topics that are interesting to me (at the moment at least, you all know I'm a bit, er, flighty!) and I also have a few bzzkits (become a bzzagent - no I don't get anything if you do, but if you are like me and love trying new things for FREE, then you should check it out!) that I just received and plan on doing a review of those as well as some things I've discovered with the new baby. I can't promise I will be posting everyday or even every week for now, but I do want to check in once a month at the very least. I miss blogging.

Burt's Bees Natural Solutions for Sensistive Skin
I'm a BzzAgent and you should become one too. Here's why: You get to try new stuff for free! How cool is that?
So the latest Buzz Campaign I was able to participate in was the Burt's Bees Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin.
My skin is pretty fair and I get a lot of redness and sometimes get tight and itchy from certain harsh products. I was super excited to get to try this new line for several reasons:
1. Burt's Bees Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin is 99% natural and since I am pregnant I've been being a lot more mindful of what I put on my skin.
2. I already love the Burt's Bees brand and I'm addicted to their chap stick.
3. I was looking for a moisturizer since winter is quickly approaching.
As part of the campaign I was sent a full size cleanser and Daily moisturizing lotion to try. Do you like the kind of cleanser that is very creamy? Then I suggest you give this cleanser a try. It left my face feeling soft and moisturized - no tight cheeks for me! It was also effective at removing my makeup, but not all of my eye makeup. I typically need to use an additional product for this anyway, so it was not a deal breaker for me. Let's face it, eyeliner and waterproof mascara can be a pain to get off.
What I liked most about the cleanser was the consistency. What I disliked about it was it did not really help clear my skin any more than any other product I had been trying. But again, I am pregnant so my skin has been doing things it has never done before! I think for someone with normal skin and some sensitivity this product would work great.
As for the moisturizer, it comes in a cute little pump. I feel that it gave me just a bit too much product in one pump, but then I started using it on my dry spots and on my neck, so if you do that, its practically the perfect amount. Again, since I am pregnant, I think this was even a little too much moisture for me. My skin has been more oily than its ever been. Normally my skin is combination. Now that the weather is changing though I notice that my skin is getting less oily. So I think under normal circumstances this moisturizer would be perfect for me.
Have you heard of this new skin care line from Burt's Bees? Let me know if you've tried it and what you thought about it. If you are curious and want to try something from the new Natural Skincare Solutions Sensitive Skin line, go here and print a coupon to save $2.
Now that you've got a glimpse of what it is like to be a BzzAgent, why not sign up yourself? Just go to BzzAgent.com and check it out!

Trick or Treat!
The Muffin Man and His Oven - baking up a little Blueberry muffin that will be ready in February! Why a blueberry muffin you ask? Because baby is a boy!!And I would like to note that white has never been a flattering color on me. I should have gone with gray and done a stainless steel oven OR better yet, black!
Hope you all had a safe and happy Halloween!!
