No More Excuses Diet Book Review

There are many motivational workout books but they all seem to give you a plan that sometimes fails to meet your daily routines as a mom. I mean lets think about it is not really realistic that many of us aren't going to stick to a detailed diet. Like many others I'm sure, I am always looking for motivation to keep me going on my weight loss journey. Maria Kang has been a great inspiration for a lot of mothers out there. she is a mom to three little boys and still managed to look great. I feel that as a mother she is very relatable. She gives us in insight and lets us know that looking great is not always the easiest but it is possible. With dedication and hard work there is no room for excuses. She gives you a clear plan for you to follow. she has worked with women for years helping them on their journey as well. She talks you through a process where it will help you. It is true when she says we all have excuses but it is what you choose to do that counts.

She provides you with great exercises that are simple and quick with results. She takes the time to explain what you need to do in order to achieve the purpose you are working out for. That is if you are trying to lose, maintain, or tone up. That is if you are looking to loss, maintain weight, or tone. There is no specific meal plan for you to follow instead she shows you how to best balance your diet while still eating your kids left overs and that extra piece of candy or ice cream that most of us tend to grab for.  What are you waiting for and remember No More Excuses

Review: Trilane Retinol + Vitamin C

 

I love retinol I use it everyday and when I saw the opportunity to review this product I was super excited. I have acne prone skin but with lots of maintenance I've been able to avoid breakouts. Since my acne breakouts stopped, I've been left with many acne scars through out my face. That is when I went for a hunt to find something that would help me clear out my skin much faster and that is when I found retinol. Now for those you who are just finding out about retinol, you may be asking:

What is retinol? well its a high concentrated form of vitamin A, it helps speed up the process of the turnover of cells (dead skin) its to help reduce fine lines, or clear skin. Retinol is a potent antioxidant used to improve skin texture.

what is vitamin c? it is an ascorbic acid that is good for anti aging. It helps give you brighter and healthier complexion.

On to the product now. Trilane is a beauty line designed for the health of your skin. They have a variety of items from eye cream to vitamins. This oil claims to speed the turn over of cells, minimize or unclog pores, reduce fine wrinkles, diminish brown spots, smoothes and evens out to skin texture. I have been using this oil for two weeks now and its great. Now this is an oil so if your worried because you have oily skin, don't be. I have oily skin and it does not make my skin even more oily. I just rub it into my face gently and wait until its all absorbed in and proceed with my regular makeup routine in the mornings. I use this every single day, morning and evening. This oil is a great moisturizer and protects my skin from the drastically changing weather. This oil is not overpowering or to dry on the skin. Since I started using Trilane my skin has felt smoother and I have noticed a slight difference in my complexion. My skin seems to be glowing and my pores seem to be getting smaller. Not to say that with time my skin could improve even more. I would say that this product lives up to its expectations. I have not experienced any irritation I\on my skin or had any complications with it. When you look at the bottle you might think its small but since its an oil you only need about two or three drops depending on how much you need for your face. A little goes a long way. I'm estimating this bottle to last me a few months.  I absolutely love this oil and I am looking to be able to try more products in this line in the near future.

5 Great Bedtime Books to Read With Your Child

1. Goodnight Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann -is a great picture book with minimal reading. It allows you to make up your own story and little activities. My daughter loves this book, she has us read it almost every night before bedtime.
2. How many kisses do you want Tonight? by Varsha Bajaj -This is such a lovely book as well as educational. As a busy parent we sometimes don't have a lot of time to sit with our child trough the day to interact and teach them. Its great when you can get two things done at the same time. This book involves numbers and animals which can allow your child to learn and get a great bedtime book
3. Love You Forever by Robert Munsh - I love this book so much because it reads about a mother that cradles his growing son thru his life. Almost at the end the son does the same to his mom getting old with age and finishing the book it shows him doing the same for his daughter. I think that this is a great book to end the night and let your child go to sleep knowing that his/her own mom will be there for them as in the book. It is a lovely read and a great way to bond with your child before bedtime.
4. Goodnight Moon by Margret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd - I believe this is a classic. I remember as a child reading this book. Just like goodnight gorilla this is a great book for an older child. You can easily set your child to sleep while saying goodnight to the world around you.
5. Barn Dance by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault - Now for you who have older children and still love reading time before bed this is a great book. It will set them off on a wild dream about talking and dancing animals. This is about a little boy who cant seem to go to sleep but hears noise out in the barn. Out to explore he finds himself with all the barn animals having a barn dance. It is really a funny and imaginative book that your child will love.
