The 7th Month...

I cannot believe that we are at 32 weeks already...and that I've officially started the 8th month of being pregnant. I feel good most of the time, the usual uncomfortableness(don't think that's a word), but what am I going to do? This is just how things are from here on out so I better get used to it. There is still so much to do but I know it will all fall into place when the time comes. We are all registered and paid up at the hospital so now we're just waiting for the BIG day! well--in 8 weeks we'll be waiting for the big day! I have some baby showers coming up this week and in the next month-it just seems so strange to have a celebration all for me and Jaxon. I hope I don't cry. My friends are so sweet to put them together for me and I'm thrilled to get to see old and new friends and share some special time together. My mom is almost finished with the crib bedding and it looks so beautiful. I can't wait to post some pics of it for you-but maybe I'll wait till its all set up in his room. That's all for now-time to go find some dinner. Enjoy some pics from January....

32 weeks...this is for you Kara!

Go Green with your Skin Care!


Looking to green your skin care?


If so, it'd be tough to do much better than the products from Arbonne International. Arbonne rolls out it's newest line of eco-friendly hair and body products, called FC5.
"FC5? What's that supposed to mean?"
It stands for the delivery of Fresh Cells nutrients from 5 fruits and vegetables. In addition to this line (as well as ALL of Arbonne's products) being certified vegan, it's also paraben free and comes in awesome eco-friendly packaging printed with no-VOC, vegetable based ink!
Arbonne really went above and beyond when it comes to this new line of products. The company has been around for 29 years and has ALWAYS used plant-derived ingredients and has NEVER used any animal products or by-products.I love that this company isn't just hopping on the green bandwagon because it's trendy. No, instead eco-friendliness is built right into Arbonne's corporate DNA...since they were founded.

So What Makes FC5 So Special?
The new Fresh Cell Technology is currently excuslive to Arbonne, and they use it to deliver nutrients from 5 key fruits and vegetables directly to the skin...while remaining fresh until they reach the skin.
Impressive!
Here are the 5 key fruits and veggies (and why they work):
Kiwi - Extraordinary source of antioxidants
Strawberry - Known for its purifying and toning properties
Carrot - Soothes and calms, ripe with Beta-Carotene
Mango - Nuturing and hydrating fruit
Pumpkin - Moisturizing properties and bursting with Beta-Carotene
