Hair Skin Nails

Hey there......


If you know me personally, you know that I'm a distributor for It Works. (If you want to know more about this, click here)

I'll be posting about products here, but I promise not to shove it down your throats.

I've been a distributor for 3 years TODAY, and I honestly love all of their products. There is definitely something for everyone, and I'm planning to post about at least 2 products a month.

Today, I wanted to write about Hair Skin Nails.

When HSN first hit the shelves (shelves? you can only get it online) I was super pumped and ordered right away!
So it came and I took them, 2 daily, and got kind of nauseous. I tried splitting them up, taking them at night...nothing worked, I was still sick to my stomach and super sad. So, I wrote them off and decided they weren't for me.

So a little over a half container sat on my shelf in my bathroom until about 4-6 weeks ago when I noticed it was about to expire. So I tried them again, and didn't feel sick after. So I stuck with them. Ordered another container. Super stoked.

I'm trying to grow out my hair, and an undercut. While I love the look and feel of an under cut....growing it out is a mega mega beeotch! (never again)

I would say my hair feels fuller....but I have a crap ton of hair, so that isn't a great comparison.

My nails though. Holla!!!! I noticed my nails grew and were hard and strong.

I don't think I've ever had to cut my nails. I usually break one and bite the rest off. That said, I had to cut them because I scratched myself and it was getting a bit difficult to type at work.

Then, I noticed my eyelashes. Um, what? They are so long! And pretty! It's almost as if I'm wearing fakies...which I can't put on to save my life.

All in all, I recommend this to anyone looking to grow their hair, or nails. Actually, since I've been taking it regularly, my face looks AMAZING, and I have acne issues for sure. I wish I had a before and after photo, just to show the improvement.

If you have questions about Hair Skin Nails, or any other products, please feel free to shoot me an email: abetteryouwithemilyn@gmail.com

Reboot

This blog. THIS BLOG.

Ugh. I feel like I post a lot of hot air. I would love more that anything...well almost anything...to make this successful. I'm so unorganized though. Barf.

I come in and post and say "Oh hey, xyz. I'm going to do really good now. Watch out. It's gonna be amazing. Unicorns! Rainbows! Glitter farts!"

Then nothing.

I haven't posted anything since January of this year. Literally, I only have a handful of posts and I've been trying to do this since 2012.

My biggest problem is content, I think. I have no idea what I should blog about and when I get an idea, its only a few sentences and I feels it's not worthy to post.


Unpredictable ramblings. Content shouldn't be hard E. Your blog name implies that you are blogging about anything. :headdesk:

I have a few posts saved. Not a lot is written, but they are started. Maybe time is my enemy? Structure? IDK. I.DON'T.KNOW.


(insert aggravated growl here)

So I guess this post is serving as my reboot post.(please don't look at past entries and make judgment) (also, please don't assume this post is the same as all the other, "I'm coming back" posts)

I've got ideas, I just need to put them on paper....errr...computer screen.

If you trust in me to read my stuff, I will promise not to disappoint.

How long should a blog post be? I don't want to go on forever, but I don't want it to be too quick.

Here's to the future and for taking almost 4 years to make this blog happen.

Cheers

Happy New Year....

Oh, we're 18 days in...my bad.

Anywho.


I have big plans this year for this blog ( I can hear you all saying "Yeah, right...") I really do.

I've been getting into makeup recently along with It Works and reviewing products for Amazon, I think this blog will be great! Of course I'll throw in some random posts along with stuff about C (who is AMAZING these days!).

So SHARE, SHARE, SHARE!!!!

Sharing means caring!!

New journeys

I've started a new journey.

I've started working out.

And so has B.

I'm really motivated to do it. I'm starting to get up early and go walk every morning, and we do strength training Monday Wednesday and Friday.

B started a New journey as well.
He joined me as an It Works distributor!

I'm so happy that we are on the s same page for our futures!

Sleep

Sometimes, as a parent, you end up with  3 year old on your bed.

You look at that 3 year old, and see the 2 year old, the one year old, and the baby, who once occupied that spot.

It's hard to imagine that baby; it seems like forever ago.

The happy times, the hard times, the indifferent times.

But then you look at that boy (or girl ) and realize the present.  You're sweet baby is 3. Right now they are sucking on a pacifier, attached to a monkey....But that is minor details. Tomorrow, they will just get older, more dependent. They will need you less.

So when that 3 year old needs the occasional Thursday night slumber party, oblige.
Let it happen.

One day, the term slumber party will have a different meaning....and it won't involve you.

Food for thought..

Happy New Year

So, another year has passed and a new one has started.
Out with the old,  in with the new.

What new adventures are you embarking on?

For starters, I'm dying my hair a crazy color old E would never dream of picking..... I mean, it's just hair, right?

I'm also,  like millions, are starting a diet.  I've gained so much weight I want to vomit. (No,  that's not my plan) I'll also be pushing myself to exercise.

In an effort to experience more things,  I'll be participating in a Pinterest challenge,  in which I do something popular on Pinterest daily. (Yeah,  maybe I'll blog about it)  

I'm also on a quest this year to pay off my debt and minimize the buildup of crap in my home. 

I also want to get back into It Works.
And take more pictures.
Blog more
Maybe try vlogging.

I want to have an amazing 2015.

What about you? What are your goals for the year?

2 months later.

I'm still a crappy blogger.

But what has been going on.....

C turned 3
Ugh. 3. Where did my baby go? I feel like I'm missing out on everything....except the meltdowns. He must save those for me.

Actually, to be fair, the week before 3 until a week after 3, he was awful. Tantrums, meltdowns, no, no, no to everything. Either it was just the transition or I've tuned them out. He's been pretty normal lately...except for bedtime. *barf*

C started school
For the last 3 years, C has had therapists come over to the house on Tuesday afternoons. So he would get physical therapy, developmental therapy, speech therapy and vision therapy all in our home. When he turned 3, he "aged out" of the program (Early Intervention) and transitioned to a school based program through our school district. He only goes in the mornings and then gets transported to the park district's Child Development Center (fun fact: I used to work there) where he has lunch, takes a nap and plays until I get him at 5. Like every other time he has transitioned care, he has thrived. His speech is better and better as well as his understanding of what we are saying to him. It's amazing how he has changed in the month he has been going to his new schools.

We're remodeling the kitchen
So....B's parents upgraded their kitchen with new cabinets and counter tops. We decided to take their old cabinets, which are 18 years newer than our current cabinets and in a lot better shape. There are also more of them.

We're starting our 4th week....No, I'm not so happy. When we bought the house, we tore down a wall that separated the kitchen from the living room... we rebuilt part of the wall, halfway up, to "house" the new cabinets. B has been muding the wall to make it even and fill in any holes, which we found a significant sized one after we took off some of the wall cabinets. If the muding and sanding ever finishes, maybe we can paint, hang cabinets and put down some counter top...then half of the kitchen will be done! We will do the second half after the holidays since it really isn't as much as the current side we are doing. Because the kitchen is torn apart, I haven't been able to cook so we've been eating out....A.L.O.T. *BARF*

Christmas is almost here
Because it's already in my damn face. Why can't the world just wait until Thanksgiving. I'm already over Christmas and Thanksgiving hasn't even come yet.

So, in a nutshell...life is crazy.
I need a vacation
and a drink
