A Monday Blog Post!

Update on this Lovely, Cold Monday! :) Gonna give you some monday ramblings! Hang on and don't quit halfway through it! 

I just want to give everyone a few updates on some stuff i am working on. I have been doing a mad amount of stuff lately. My kids keep me busy like always so most times when i am doing a blog post for everyone i am on my phone doing it. So most times i need to get myself on here and fix it. Then i take whatever photos i placed in my blog and organize them. So it takes some time to get just one post done! I don't know how these people do them daily. Shit sometimes i change my mind 2 days later and then edit them, Most times i let people know when i update my blog. 

I don't talk about my kids much or the struggles with them. Wait i don't believe i have ever said anything. lol but here it goes. I am gonna fill everyone in on some things that i rarely share with people that i don't know personally. People judge other's and i don't need people judging me for my children and for things that are beyond my own control. 

I have an 11 yr old son named Carl who has Global Developmental Delay (GDD), Smith Magenis Syndrome (SMS), PDD-NOS & Intellectual Disability. He is a severely special needs child which requires constant (24 hr/7 days a week) watching! Yes that means someone has to be right there with him at all times. He is an 11 yr old who has a brain of a 2 yr old. Yes it's challenging but he is the best kid you could ever ask for. His needs are there and are always #1. I currently have a facebook page for Carl. Called Carl's Journey which you can click ---> Here <--- to check it out! Give it a like, share it. Carl will appreciate it! :-)

I also have a 6yr old daughter named Lillee who apparently thinks she is a teenager and has goals! lol Yes she has goals in life. Amazing when you don't limit your children in life. She wants to be a makeup artist and a rock star! lol She is an ambitious one! She is in Kindergarten and has tested in the Superior range already. She is a smart one that wants a YouTube channel of her own! She is too young (even though there is already 6yr olds doing the same thing she wants to do) but still in my eyes yes way too damn young.

So on top of all the kids got going on i have stuff for myself & then i keep up with the husbands stuff. Ugh ya a wife & mom's work is really never done. haha but i do take some time out for myself to give me a sanity break when needed. I love the help i get for Carl cause it gives me time to settle and put my attention to Lillee. Btw having 2 kids (one severely special needs) alone is a task in itself people! It gives me the chance to do my nail's and show them to the world via this blog. Somedays i wonder if people really do read these. I know some do cause we discuss them through message. I get no comment's and i wouldn't really know if people even come here if it wasn't for this counter on my blog. Do i think it's correct sometimes? Hell NO!! I think it likes to fuck with me honestly. So as my time doing all this just to help me keep my head straight actually does not come as often as i would like. This is just for fun & i am not out for a buck over my pictures or opinion. If you like it hey cool come back and check it out again. If not it's no skin off my ass unless your an asshole about it. I don't care about opinions unless i need/want to. 

If i haven't scared you off yet here is some more stuff! :-)

I am a consultant with Jewelscent. I have been working my tail off to get my own personal goals with Jewelscent achieved. I don't know what i have to do to get people to at least test it out! Buy one damn candle. If you don't like it then hey don't buy it again! IF you love them buy more and host a party to get FREE PRODUCTS... Ya i said FREEEEE!!!! Ya got that? So why do people not want to host a party! It's like hey i love this i am hosting a party come see what is happening and decide if you want to try this your self! You could get so many more people to see what kind of awesome product this is! It's worth it in the end all cause of the jewelry inside! What if you got a token on your very first candle? Did you know that means you already made 3xs back what you paid for that candle? Ya people think about it? Take a damn chance! I am not asking you to spend your retirement. 

If you would like to check it out head on over to:

Gorgeous Natural Nails

So I seen this post in a group about this product that can help your cuticles and make your nails grow. So I bought it, wasn't really sure about it so I took a look on the website and noticed you could try it for free as long as you pay shipping ($3.99 was the price for that). Now I will admit my nails are looking pretty bad. The cuticles and around my nails are very dry. My nails are also peeling, chipping and fully breaking off. I have tried a bunch of other products and they just didn't help. Most of my nails have gone short because of the breaking. I do have a few nails that are in good shape, are long, hard but well they are stained. 
I will be the first to admit I am brutal on my nails. I am a busy person. 1st I am a mom to a special needs child who can't got to the bathroom on his own, needs a diaper, needs you to hand feed him, and is non verbal. He is 10 and you can see more about him on his facebook page, we have started a G+ page but we are working on that lol Plus a lovely little girl who thinks she is a teen when she is only 5yr old. She says she is already asking for a YouTube account. lol My kids keep me on my toes. Its Not easy being me, but I rock at being me. Cleaning the house haha ya well that comes last. If I clean it another mess follows. So I do most when the kids are in school or sleeping. See lots of damage lol Anyways here I am starting off on November 2nd of 2015. I will update this as the next 4 weeks go along so I can go with my thoughts and give you updated pictures. Stay tuned :)

WEEK 1
I noticed right off the bat it smelled nice. It also looks greasy but isn't which is different but I like that. I rubbed my nails and cuticles down with it. I can say I really like it so far. 2-3×s a day shouldn't be hard to keep up with.

After about 3 weeks of doing this i stopped Not because i didn't want to do it! It's i am a very busy person to keep up with that! It's great stuff and it will grow your nails just like it says. So if i was asked if i would recommend this to other's YES I WOULD!!!

There is a group where u can go in and ask questions and show your natural nails! I will look for the details and i will come in and edit this post to add the information!!! :)
