DONT tell me raising girls is easier! Just wait until they they are 16!

CAUTION: This is a rant. I may say things that might offend. My blog. My words.
 
I hate my teenaged daughter. Honestly from the pit of my gut to the tips of my toes. I hate her. What in the world could make me say that?
Let me explain.
 
From the minute she was born, she has been daddy's girl. She now prefers to hang out with him on the couch, go to karate with him, go shopping with him and have him go to school things. Am I jealous? Nope! I hate school things. And I hate shopping with the girls. WANT WANT WANT! Yes she somehow weaseled her way onto my spot on the couch, but I have no problem kicking her off!
 
What does bother me is how she can get him to buy her almost anything she wants. No matter if the other kids need something, if she wants it, her father tries the best to get it.
 
I have a rule in the house and with the kids. No texting or calling dad while he's at work. I don't do it either. She on the other hand feels it her right to do so. Heck, she will even do it while I'm standing right next to her and then look at me, give me attitude and snippy when I catch her. Hello! Do rules mean nothing to her? Yes I have taken her phone away for almost a month before.
 
And don't get me going on the back talking! So many times I have had to tell her to leave the room I'm in or I might say something I will regret. I mean honestly, how many times can you tell a person to zip it or be quiet before they actually listen? So far I'm at about 500000000 with her!
 
And the funny thing is, she doesn't get it! She acts like she can do nothing wrong. I keep hoping that one day someone will take her down a peg or two.

There's the issue of her hair. I tell her to stop trimming or cutting her hair because she leaves her hair everywhere. She will look me dead in the eye, and deny it! Hello!!! I don't trim my hair, her sister doesn't touch hers. (Think Rapunzel and the love she had for her hair, that's her sister.) The males, don't have that color or length. My God does she think the fairies cut their hair in the upstairs bathroom at night so that I will blame her and not them??? (No I don't believe in fairies! I stopped that belief along time ago!)

But even after all that, even though I don't like her, I love her more than life.

I love how she tries to loose weight, yes she's a bigger girl, so she can fit into the weight requirements for the US Military. (Its my fault she has a weight issue. Its a thing in the women in my family. I try hard to loose it too and well, lets just say HAHAHA!) I love the fact she wants to serve. She wants to go to college, its a come and go thing.  I will do whatever I can to help her.

I love how she joins clubs and serves her community through things like Key Club. Her Grandfather was in Kwanis as a lifetime member and he would be proud as well if he was still with us.

She is smart. Not honor roll this year, yet. But she has in the past. And she is sometimes too smart for her own good. Sometimes she tries to convince us she knows more than she really does, but we can tell by her facial and body language when she is "filling in".

And we like The Walking Dead. We usually watch it together since dad doesn't like it! She's a Michonne fan and I'm more of an Andrew Lincoln fan. And she loves the comics. We have conversations about that.

So yes, even thought I hate her, I love her more than life.

So don't mess with my daughter. I wont have to threaten anyone because her karate 3 stripe blue belt ass will do it before I ever know anything!

NeoCell Biotin Bursts & COLLAGEN SPORT ULTIMATE RECOVERY

*I was sent the following 2 products in exchange for my fair and honest review. My opinions are my own.

Breast Cancer isn't a women's only thing. Men can develop it as well!


What Is Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the breast. The damaged cells can invade surrounding tissue, but with early detection and treatment, most people continue a normal life.




1 in 8 women will be diagnosed.
220,000 women in the US will be diagnosed this year. More than 40,000 of them, will die this year.
Estimated 2,150 men will be diagnosed and 410 will die this year.
It is the most common diagnosed cancer in women.
It is the second leading cause of death in women.
Two out of three women with invasive cancer are diagnosed after age 55.
Breast cancer is diagnosed more often in Caucasian women than women of other races.
Symptoms of breast cancer include a lump in the breast, bloody discharge from the nipple, and changes in the shape or texture of the nipple or breast. 
Also, cancer-related fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, or weight loss.





*How Should A Breast Self-Exam Be Performed?

1) In the Shower 

Using the pads of your fingers, move around your entire breast in a circular pattern moving from the outside to the center, checking the entire breast and armpit area. Check both breasts each month feeling for any lump, thickening, or hardened knot. Notice any changes and get lumps evaluated by your healthcare provider.

2) In Front of a Mirror 

Visually inspect your breasts with your arms at your sides. Next, raise your arms high overhead.

Look for any changes in the contour, any swelling, or dimpling of the skin, or changes in the nipples. Next, rest your palms on your hips and press firmly to flex your chest muscles. Left and right breasts will not exactly match—few women's breasts do, so look for any dimpling, puckering, or changes, particularly on one side.

3) Lying Down

When lying down, the breast tissue spreads out evenly along the chest wall. Place a pillow under your right shoulder and your right arm behind your head. Using your left hand, move the pads of your fingers around your right breast gently in small circular motions covering the entire breast area and armpit.

Use light, medium, and firm pressure. Squeeze the nipple; check for discharge and lumps. Repeat these steps for your left breast.

Outer Spice Review and ideas

I was sent 2 bottles of spice for my review. No other compensation was given. 
My opinions are my own.
*"Outer Spice Low Salt and No Salt seasoning blends are made from the finest, quality ingredients that we hand select ourselves, from around the world. We combine fresh herbs and spices in small artisan batches to create the most versatile combination of flavors. Our products are all-natural, gluten- free, rich in anti-oxidants and have no MSG.
Fairer than fair trade. We partner with farmers and suppliers to assure fair trade and good profit margins for each family or person we do business with.
These four highly versatile, well-balanced spice mixes will transform and improve the taste of every dish. Sprinkle on eggs, salads, pastas and veggies. Rub on fish, chicken, beef and pork. Create marinades, dressings and dips. Find your favorite, use as-is, or add to it and make it your own."
I was sent: 

This is what I made:
I mixed about 1 1/2 c of flour with 5 tablespoons of the Original.
I then used cut up chicken breast, thin cut, and coated them in milk and dipped them in the mix. 
I put about 1/2 in oil in a deep frying pan and fried the pieces until golden brown and cooked through to no pink.
 Some of the best fried chicken we have ever had!!!
 It even had a tang to it.  All the Daigle kids loved it!!!

It is definitely worth the $6.99 per bottle!

Gazelle's Value Propositions

**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links. 


Get cash for your iPhone!
Remember the Motorola RAZR? That was actually the first trade-in that Gazelle accepted. Shortly thereafter, Apple released the iPhone 3G, which created the first generation of obsolete phones (iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, anyone?). Since then, Gazelle has paid out more than $200 million to customers for their devices! 

Although there are a number of options for purchasing pre-owned smartphones and tablets online, I know first-hand that there are key things that Gazelle offers that helps ensure you won't waste your time or money buying a gently-used device. For instance:
  • Gazelle performs a 30+-point inspection on all their devices (iPhones, Galaxy phones, and iPads), which guarantees that every feature of the device is tested and is of the highest quality before it's sold to you. This is also backed by a 30-day return policy.
  • Because Gazelle Certified devices mean no contracts or strings attached, you can upgrade your device at up to 40% less than buying a new one and avoid being tied to an expensive two-year contract that you might not need. You can keep your carrier, or go with a new one. The choice is yours.
  • You can also easily trade-in your used iPhone, iPad, iPod, MacBook, AppleTV, and other smartphones and smart devices to Gazelle for cash in three easy steps.

    Step 1: Select your gadget from a list of options on Gazelle's "Trade-In" page, answer a few questions, and then Gazelle provides you with an offer for your device.

    Step 2: For items worth $1 or more, it's free to ship your device to Gazelle. Once your trade-in is received, the device is inspected to make sure its condition matches your evaluation.

    Step 3: Payment. If the device matches your description, Gazelle will pay you in the form of a check, an Amazon.com gift card, or via PayPal. Payment takes about a week once Gazelle receives your device.

If you want to sell your old phone or device and get a fair, cash price for it, Gazelle is the safest, easiest, most reliable way to go. And if you want to upgrade your device without having to pay retail rates or deal with a poor-quality purchase, make your life easy and shop Gazelle Certified.

Best Way to Alleviate Opiate Withdrawal Symptoms

*This is a sponsored post.
Elimidrol - Opiate Withdrawal Supplement - Click Here!

Best Way to Alleviate Opiate Withdrawal Symptoms

Opiate withdrawal is an intense experience. Common withdrawal symptoms include unpleasant afflictions like hot and cold chills, body aches, insomnia, restlessness, diarrhea and lethargy. You may also suffer from cravings, anxiousness, depressed mood, and many other mental and physical symptoms. Home remedies for opiate withdrawal include staying hydrated, taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen or using Imodium to treat diarrhea. However, an opiate withdrawal supplement that is manufactured to treat the majority of the opiate withdrawal symptoms may be a better option.


The Most Effective Opiate Withdrawal Relief Supplement 



Properly formulated supplements can cushion the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. Elimidrol is the #1 rated opiate withdrawal supplement and its clinically proven ingredients are designed to relieve the severe mental and physical symptoms that accompany opiate withdrawal. Elimidrol is non-habit forming, so you won't be transferring your addiction from one substance to another. The supplement's maximum strength formula has contributed to a very high success rate with an overwhelmingly positive response. Elimidrol will decrease the symptoms of opiate withdrawal to a more comfortable and manageable level.

Elimidrol provides a level of relief and effectiveness that is unmatched by any product in the industry, and has become recognized as the #1 Opiate Withdrawal Supplement. That is why Sunrise Nutraceuticals, the manufacturer of Elimidrol, stands behind their supplement with a 100% money-back guarantee to provide consumers peace of mind.

Additional Benefits 


Elimidrol comes in powder form to ensure maximum effectiveness and fast acting relief. You can use the supplement whether you’ve decided to gradually decrease your reliance on opiates or quit them cold turkey. People experience success with either opiate detox method.


A Few Specifics 


The supplement comes in a daytime and nighttime formula. Both versions have 28 servings, which is typically a four-week supply. That does not mean, however, that you have to take Elimidrol for four-weeks but rather those servings are there to ensure you have extra servings if necessary. If any day is particularly more difficult, you can take extra Elimidrol servings for additional relief. 



Elimidrol effectively alleviates withdrawal symptoms that arise from all opiates and opioids, including narcotics, generic drugs, and brand name medications. This includes (but is not limited to): Oxycodone, Heroin, Percocet, Vicodin, Opana, Dilaudid, Methadone, Suboxone, Subutex, Oxycontin, Roxicodone, Fentanyl, Morphine, Hydrocodone, Lortab, Hydromorphone, Oxymorphone, Codeine, Opium, Ultram, Tramadol, Buprenorphine, Ms-contin, Demerol, and Meperidine.


Opiate Withdrawal Help 

Opiate detox at home with help from Elimidrol. Elimidrol is safe to use, highly effective, and provides powerful relief from the first dose.

 I do like the neck cream. I like the face cream as well but as I was trying it over the hottest part of summer in Maine, It has a funny smell when you sweat or get your face wet in the lake.
I noticed an improvement over all on my skin.

I would recommend using the face cream at night.

Admissions Revolution

Disclosure: I was given a free months subscription in exchange for posting. My opinions are my own!


From their website: 

"Sara Harberson, Founder of Admissions Revolution, has devoted her career to making college accessible to students from all over the world. Today, Sara’s mission is to transform how students get into college—her “Admissions Revolution” puts students in the driver’s seat, armed with the knowledge they need to gain acceptance to their dream colleges.

Sara founded Admissions Revolution to provide students and their families with the information they need to get into college. Instead of cramming all her knowledge into a book, Sara has embraced the era of technology and multi-tasking, creating a digital library of videos covering every imaginable college admissions topic.

Once a regular speaker to crowds of thousands, Sara now reaches the masses through a single camera lens. Her message is universal. It’s the truth about a process that has been cloaked in mystery for decades. With Admissions Revolution, Sara is changing the landscape of the college admissions process. No more mystery. No more confusion. No more secrets."

For teens and their parents,knowing where to begin the college selection and application process isn’t easy. In fact, every year it becomes more complicated. That’s why Sara Harberson has founded Admissions Revolution. To remove the mystery, confusion, and secrets from the college admissions process,and put college bound students right where they need to be – in the driver’s seat. Because getting into the right college can be life changing.

As a former dean of admissions and a current high school director of college counseling, Sara Harberson has devoted her career to making college accessible to students from all over the world. Using a series of candid videos and insightful guides, all available on the Admissions Revolution website, this energetic and smart mom of three shares real advice and step-by-step guidance to cut through the confusion and help students navigate the journey to their dream colleges. She intimately explores every facet of the college admissions process– from standardized testing and college visits to Early Decision and why colleges use wait lists, from understanding selectivity and the committee process to financial aid and gapping – dispelling myths and exposing truths along the way.
Admissions Revolution also shares checklists, timelines, webinars, digital chats, and more.

The average cost of an independent college counseling package is $4,000. The hourly rate of an independent college counselor is $150 to $500. That’s why Admissions Revolution does not offer one-on-one college counseling.

 Available on any computer or mobile device 24 hours a day, seven days a week, Admissions Revolution’s videos and guides are designed to make college accessible to students. All monthly and annual subscription plans include a free seven-day trial.

As the mother of a Junior (girl), a graduated Homeschooled Student (boy) and a child already in his lifes work field, I can assure you college planning and admissions is a pain in the tush!

I am all for any and all help in the process and Admissions Revolution is a great place to start.
 They have 2 plans a Standard and a Premium. With each of the plans you get a free weeks trial and you can cancel after that week if its not something you want to continue.
