Seaweed Moisturizer {Product Review}

Hi girlies! Here I am again with another review. You may rejoice because it is not a garcinia cambogia or whatever review. Nope. Today I'm reviewing something that every girl is encouraged to use. Moisturizer! Awhile ago I talked about my quest for the perfect moisturizer and whatnot, well I've been given the opportunity to review more. This one is the Seaweed Complex Lotion from Foxbrim. (I received this product free through Tomoston in exchanged for my honest review.)

 I know what you're thinking. Seaweed lotion? I know right. That sounds like the coolest thing ever. That's what I thought anyway. Okay, so this technically isn't a moisturizer, though that's what I've been using it for mainly. It is in fact a lotion, as it says. But it gives facial instructions on the bottle, while also mentioning it can be used as an all body moisturizer.

Anyway, it comes in a nice stout bottle, which is just about the length of my palm or a little taller. It has a nice pump. I have to carefully squeeze out the amount I need or I'll use too much. It's wayyy to easy for this girl to get careless with pumps. Haha.

 Okay, this lotion is thicker in consistency than the previous moisturizers I have reviewed. I guess it has more of a lotion consistency. Because of this, I found myself using a bit more of the lotion than I would if it were thinner, because thicker seems to spread less. Perhaps that's just my brain, but that's how I do it. The scent I have a hard time describing. I almost want to say it smells like hand sanitizer, like the kind they use in hospitals, but oh so much pleasanter. I think that's probably a bad description. It smells healthy. Like growing things, or something.

 Which makes sense. It is seaweed lotion, after all.

 As far as the ingredients of this nice little item, well... There are over 90 minerals in it alone, plus many awesome ingredients, including blue green algae. It has anti-radiation properties to protect you from the sun's rays even long term. Basically, I like this lotion. The fact that many key ingredients come from the bottom of the sea makes it pretty amazing. What do you think? You can pick up a bottle on Amazon.

Mother {Book Review}

 Mother by Kathleen Thompson Norris

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is such a refreshing read about being a stay-at-home daughter.  Something a little different compared to most of today's contemporary fiction books.

 About a girl with 7 siblings who lives in a small country town and works as a teacher. She then gets a job in a big city with a rich employer. While she is there, she listens to the "rich" peoples' conversations about how having so many children is such a burden. She, herself, starts wondering how her mother can be so content with housework, children, etc.

I loved the ending to this book!  I would recommend this to anyone looking for a refreshing read on being a stay-at-home daughter.

Preparing To Be a Help Meet {Book Review}

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a beautiful day! God has been so good, I hope all of you are enjoying His blessings as much as I am.  

                                                                                                                                   

When trying to decide on what to blog about today, I realized no one had done a review on a wonderful book, Preparing To Be A Help Meet yet. So I decided to write about it for you all. It's been a while since I read this, but hopefully my memory will do it justice.           

                   

 This book is written for girls and women who have not been married yet. I'm sure it would be interesting for married women to read, but most of the information inside is targeted at younger girls.

 Debi Pearl truly did a wonderful job with this book. She started with her own beautiful story, how God told her she would marry her husband when she was just thirteen years old, and he was twenty-one, and how about seven years later, it really happened. She includes several love stories, about girls who waited, and trusted the Lord for the man He meant for them. Some of the girls had to trust the Lord even if they didn't really know the boy that well. 

 But she also talked about girls who had such sad stories- girls who had a nice guy interested in them, but didn't trust God, and lost everything. 

 Besides the initial relationship stories, she also writes on health, and how that can affect your family. Because this book is called Preparing To Be a Help Meet, it is about preparing for your future as a wife and mother. Preparation is so important. She includes lots of great tips and advice. She also writes how many of the girls who had guys interested in them were noticed by the guys for their working in the church- doing things for the Lord. This is really important. God blesses those who serve Him.

 She put girls into three different categories, and guys as well, and talks about how they match up. Are you a dreamer, a servant, or a queen? You'll find out in this book! (I'm a dreamer... :D)

 At the end of each chapter, there is a section for you to write. There is an assignment at the top of these places. You could be writing a letter to your future husband, making a list of qualities you want in a husband, or analyzing a scripture.

There is so much to this book, that you could go on and on, but I don't want to ruin it for you. Just get it so you can read it. :) It is worth everything you would spend on it. 

 This is one of the books that opened my eyes personally about courting. I had always assumed I would, since it was what my family wanted, but this really laid it out, and explained how wonderful waiting for God's plan really is.

    

 Here is the link to the Amazon page, but you can get it just about anywhere online. I highly recommend it! 

 I hope you have enjoyed this review. See you next week!
