Our reusable BPA-free, phthalate-free zip top bag is filled with full sizes of baby's indispensable daily basics: Gentle All-Over Clean Hair & Body Wash, Daily Skin Protection Moisturizing Balm, Soothing Bottom Relief Diaper Rash Cream and a travel pack of Gentle All-Over Clean Cleansing Towelettes.

Daily Skin Protection Moisturizing Balm (6.8 oz. / 200 ml)

Soothing Bottom Relief Diaper Rash Cream (3 oz. / 85 g)

Gentle All-Over Clean Cleansing Towelettes (12 ct)

-This set I received would be PERFECT for a baby shower or the expecting woman in your life. Or be a great hospital gift for the new mom, when you visit the new baby!  This set retails for 50 arv and is fabulous!!!!

I was trying to get pictures of the items when they arrived and Rowan was tripping trying to take them from me! He was so excited!!!

I gave him the wipes bc he was so determined! 

True Happy Baby loves his MD Mom set!

This cream is perfect and safe and I use it at every diaper change on his precious bottom!  We are loving it. If diaper rash cream is not your thing, then try their liquid baby powder instead.

These are great because you can use them on any part of the body and they are great for wiping messy food off baby to head out to do errand quickly, small enough to throw in the purse to travel with you. Did I mention they smell great, but light? They also have sunscreen wipes!

This after-bath lotion was my favorite because it makes Rowan so touchably soft! 

Conditions that their line can treat:

• Dry Sensitive Skin
• Eczema
• Cradle Cap
• Psoriasis
• Treat and Prevent Diaper Rash

Haha @ Rowan in the background... I love this BabySilk line!

I think we found a winner!

He's so cute...but I love that I can trust these products as they are made by Doctors for their own babies. What a cute idea!

Founded in 2006, MD MOMS is the first, and only personal care line for babies developed by pediatrician-moms. MD MOMS products are clinically tested, hypoallergenic, naturally based and specifically formulated with the unique needs of a newborn and sensitive skin in mind.

The range includes, hair and body wash, moisturizers, wipes, diaper rash and cradle cap remedies as well as award-winning sunscreen. Products in the line that are suited for eczema prone skin have been recognized and Accepted by the National Eczema Association, a distinction that sets the brand apart from competitors in the premium baby skincare space.

NuSkin #blogReview #faceMask

Week Before using Mask 

NuSkin Face Lift Activator + Powder = Amazing MASK

Thanks for reading my blog review for Nuskin! This blog post is sponsored, meaning they sent me the product for free. Regardless all opinions & experiences are my own and yours may differ. Now that that part is out of the way..

What did I think about the product????

Let's start with the price: AFFORDABLE!!  A+
The Facelift powder & activator liquid are under 35$ and come with both bottles that you need to make the mask. Whats better is, since its in 2 parts, you can mix it to a consistency you like.

Upon mixing it up, I gotta admit, I felt like a mad scientist. It mixed easy, no lumps, and had a consistency like pancake batter. It spread well and dried fairly quickly. Which I appreciated since I don't like a mask that takes too long to dry. It felt so tight on my skin, that if I talked with it on it would crack! It was a strange feeling, but it let me know it was working.

We want our food fast, convenient and cheap, but at what cost? As farms have become supersized, our environment suffers and so does the quality of our food.

I want to give you a heads-up on the nationwide release of this new documentary from award-winning director Susan Rockefeller coming on Food Day on Oct. 24. Food For Thought, Food For Life aims to start a conversation about what we eat and actions we can take on important food issues. "We want our food fast, convenient and cheap, but at what cost?" It has screened at film festivals around the world this year.

NEW DOCUMENTARY FOOD FOR THOUGHT, FOOD FOR LIFE FROM AWARD-WINNING DIRECTOR SUSAN ROCKEFELLER TO BE RELEASED NATIONWIDE ON FOOD DAY THISOCTOBER 24, 2015 Newest Documentary From Filmmaker and Creative Conservationist Who is Using Short Films to Get More People Turned Onto Important Causes FOOD DAY inspires Americans to change their diets and our food policies through more than 8,000 events nationwide Screening at EatingWell.com From October 5-12 ahead of Nationwide Release; Entire Film Available for Screening Online at Media Sites Upon Request WASHINGTON, DC – Every October 24, thousands of events all around the country bring Americans together to celebrate and enjoy real food and to push for improved food policies. This year Food Day is partnering with award-winning filmmaker, designer and philanthropist Susan Rockefeller to release her acclaimed new documentary Food For Thought, Food For Life for free online and in conjunction with thousands of events nationwide. The mission of the 20-minute film – which was an official selection at the Short Film Corner at Cannes 2015 and at the 2015 Sarasota Film Festival and other top festivals – and its extensive nationwide outreach campaign is to start a conversation about the food system, bringing everyone to the table to address how we think about, produce, and choose what we eat, and to make lasting changes as individuals, communities, and for our earth as a whole. “We are thrilled to partner with Susan Rockefeller on the online release of this remarkable film,” said Food Day campaign manager Lilia Smelkova. “By providing our partners at over 8,000 events nationwide with access to the film we can ensure Food Day will impact in even greater ways in 2015. This film is inspiring and will serve to energize those who will be participating in Food Day events across the country.” “It’s an honor to partner with Food Day and to play a role in helping reach millions about the food issues that affect each one of us,” said Susan Rockefeller. ABOUT THE FILM We want our food fast, convenient and cheap, but at what cost? As farms have become supersized, our environment suffers and so does the quality of our food. Food for Thought, Food for Life, a new documentary from director Susan Rockefeller (HBO’s Christopher Award-winning documentary Making The Crooked Straight, Planet Green’s A Sea Change) explains the downsides of current agribusiness practices, and also introduces us to farmers, chefs, researchers, educators, and advocates who are providing solutions. The film is both poetic and practical; its powerful examination of the connections between our planet and our well-being is accompanied by specific strategies that protect both. With an eye towards a sustainable and abundant future, it offers inspiration for communities that are ready to make a difference. Punctuated by the words of environmentalist Wendell Berry, earth-inspired artwork, and uplifting music, the film highlights organizations and people doing things right. From the forward-thinking practices of Chef Dan Barber and Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture to guerrilla gardener Ron Finley’s transformation of urban neighborhoods, the ways we can start a revolution are varied and exciting. “I sought out to develop a film that educates people about the negative impact our current methods of agriculture have on the earth,” said Rockefeller, a creative conservationist and social entrepreneur. “In addition to providing vital information, the film gives viewers the necessary tools to make a difference in their own lives. It explores the connection between the planet and our health and suggests that strengthening that connection will only benefit our future.” “In everything I do – from my previous documentary Mission of Mermaids to my jewelry collections – my goal is to start a conversation about the things I’m most passionate about and empower people to take small actions that produce big changes,” Rockefeller continued. “Conversation leads to collaboration, and together we can find local and global solutions that help the planet and ourselves. Food Day is the perfect partner in our work to bring attention to these vitally important issues.” ABOUT SUSAN ROCKEFELLER Susan Rockefeller is a principal of Protect What Is Precious, a company that creates documentaries and inspires fashion accessories to elevate awareness about protecting what is precious to her: family, art and nature. Susan’s jewelry and accessories can be found at London Jewelers, Bernie Robbins, Takashimaya and on the company’s website. Her films have explored a range of contemporary issues, often using both real life heroes and those of myths to confront issues such as ocean acidification and the future of ocean health, PTSD and the use of music to heal, the confluence of race, poverty and illness, global food sustainability. The films have aired on HBO, PBS, and the Discovery Channel. Susan sits on the boards of Oceana, Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, We Are Family Foundation and is a member of Natural Resources Defense Council Global Leadership Council. She received her undergraduate degree from Hampshire College and her master’s degree from NYU. ABOUT THE PRODUCTION Food For Thought, Food For Life is a production of Protect What Is Precious. Susan Rockefeller established the Protect What Is Precious brand in 2013 to make the world a more loving, peaceful and healthy place by protecting family, art and nature. Food For Thought, Food For Life produced in association with Louverture Films, the film production company co-founded by Danny Glover and Joslyn Barnes. Rockefeller is a partner in the production company. The film features the music of Cloud Cult. This Minneapolis-based indie art rock group is led by Craig Minowa, who also heads up the environmentally-conscious Earthology Records. ABOUT FOOD DAY Food Day inspires Americans to change their diets and our food policies. EveryOctober 24, thousands of events all around the country bring Americans together to celebrate and enjoy real food and to push for improved food policies. October 24 is a day to resolve to make changes in our own diets and to take action to solve food-related problems in our communities at the local, state, and national level.

Fed UP about schools lunch habits? Make a change w Katie Couric! #kickstarter

Fed UP!~

Hope you are well! I'm reaching out on behalf of FED UP, the film that explores the truth about the food industry in an effort to get people eating healthier. Executive Produced by Katie Couric and Laurie David, the film has been a resource and tool for parents, teachers, and student to learn the truth about real food. 

I know you are very busy but I'm reaching out to you today, because I thought you and the Outnumbered 3 to 1 community might be interested in joining our mission to bring Food Education to Schools. Our goal is to provide a Fed Up Education Kit to every school in America, at no cost to schools and teachers.

It's been shown that once children learn the truth about the food they're eating, where it comes from, and how it affects their bodies, they're likely to make better food choices. We know teachers want to teach food nutrition but they need the resources.

@PBJfoods #SAM + #charity: This Christmas consider helping others, such a small amount to you, can make such a BIG difference in the lives of others. #ad

Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) is the number one killer of children under five years of age. Nearly 20 million children around the world suffer from SAM.  In fact,  SAM kills 3.5 million children each year. That’s more than HIV, AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria combined.
 PB + J stands for peanut butter plus Jesus.

PB+J Foods Program Development Director Haley Hunsaker distributes PB+J fortified peanut butter paste to the parents of children suffering from Severe Acute Malnutrition in Malawi, Africa. One jar of the paste is a therapeutic food treatment that will provide all of the nutritional requirements for one child for one day.  PB+J Foods distributed nearly 16,000 pounds of the paste during it first seventeen months of operation, enough to save the lives of nearly 1,200 children (see more http://www.pbjfoods.org/animation)

In March 2012, 5 unique individuals from Orange County, California got together and pooled their personal time and money to fight SAM in undeveloped nations.  In just 17 months, the non-profit organization they created, PB+J Foods, saved the lives of nearly 1,200 children in Malawi, Africa, who were suffering from SAM.

In March 2012, Stan Smith recruited his friends Brian Hunsaker, Donna Wertz, Heather Premac, and Haley Hunsaker, to create PB+J Foods, Inc., a non-profit organization designed specifically to eradicate Severe Acute Malnutrition in underdeveloped nations, like Malawi.

“To beat SAM we were going to have to do more than what typical humanitarian organizations do to feed the hungry,” Smith explains.  “We had to develop a way locally manufacture Ready-to-Use-Therapeutic-Foods (RUTF), to distribute RUFTs to remote villages, to provide locals with medical treatment and health care education, and we had to create a localized, self-sustaining economy that could provide for its people on an on-going basis.”

            From April 2012 to August 2013, they did exactly that … with their own money, on their own time, and with a few contributions from friends.  During the seventeen month period, the five members of PB+J Foods traveled to Malawi, Africa multiple times and accomplished the following:

·         Partnered with Nkhoma Hospital to create a RUTF manufacturing plant, to establish RUTF distribution sites, and to develop and operate medical and SAM treatment clinics throughout the region;

·         Created an educational program to provide villagers with basic knowledge about food safety and storage, malnutrition management, hygiene and sanitation, family planning, HIV/AIDS prevention, childcare, nutrition, and agriculture;

·         Began the formation of a local farmers co-op, intended to have at least 800 members, in order to grow local ‘ground nuts’, one of the most valuable nuts in the world, with Opportunity International Bank of Malawi, Afri-Nut, and World Vision which provides a cash crop for the local farmers, creating economic growth, and a steady supply of nuts for the RUTF peanut paste.

  

PB+J Foods has an ambitious goal for 2014. It is now working to secure financial donations to expand its infrastructure to: manufacture and serve RUTFs to 11,000 children suffering from SAM; to provide medical treatment to 1,000 children at Nkhoma Hospital and area clinics; to increase employment at the local PB+J RUTF production facility; and, to sell locally produced RUTFs on the open market to create revenues that will enable the PB+J programs in Malawi to become self-sustaining and provide RUTF products at no charge to their patients.  Donations may be contributed at http://www.pbjfoods.org/animation or by calling 949-702-3187.  

PB+J Foods is a non-profit organization designed to eradicate Severe Acute Malnutrition in underdeveloped nations. Their programs provide specially fortified foods for children suffering from SAM, medical treatment, and health education to those in need. Moreover, the programs they have developed help build local self-sustaining economies that can eventually provide the necessities of a better life in the future.

Please consider contributing to this great cause. If ever there was a charity I feel proud to stand behind it is this one. Do the right thing this holiday season and give the gift that keeps giving. Life. Anything can help so donate now. Even as little as 1$, but I would hope you'd consider giving up a value meal or two and donate a little more. To help one child is 30$, a family is $100 and you can also donate $500 if your feeling extra generous.

REAL SCIENCE - HELP MOMS GET THROUGH THE DAY WITH A SMILE

I am proud to introduce to you a replacement for all those costly and unhealthy, sugar laden energy drinks you all can't seem to shake the habit of!  It's called Gung-Ho!  

GungHo has been vetted by the smartest brain scientists and medical professionals in the world:

  "PROVEN focus & concentration...builds neurotransmitters...unlike energy shots or drinks..."

  - Dr Perry Renshaw, MD, PhD, Director @ The Brain Institute @ The University of Utah

I was sooo impressed with the ingredients list!

Read on to find out some useful info the brand wants me to share, then at the bottom my opinion of this neat little travel friendly energy shot!

2013 is the Year of the Brain! Based on exciting new research, GungHo is an all-natural brain supplement shown to improve focus and concentration now as well as improve memory recall and brain health over time.

GungHo is balanced across all major neurotransmitter categories (not just the sympathetic nervous system like energy drinks). Increases beta-endorphines (science calls them "happy hormones"). Mild appetitie suppressant with no sugar, carbonation or calories.

GungHo has been covered in  AllThingsD, the WSJ, Time Magazine, Wired etc. Read over 700 customer reviews or study the science if you want more information.

Get lean & improve endurance

GungHo can offer energy once your muscles are tired, for those last reps or sprints (increased choline supports the re-synthesis of muscle). You'll typically stay “in the zone” longer, just like sensei says you should.

GungHo can also increase the level of neurotransmitters to increase your ability to metabolize fat and even help to suppress your appetite. Hunh? It'll help you lose weight, grasshopper.

No sugar. No carbonation. 4 calories. All killer, no filler.

MOMS ARE BLIND TO THIS...AND OUR CHILDREN ARE IN TROUBLE

There's a dangerous epidemic:  Black-market "focus/study-drug" addiction (class-A addictive like Cocaine)...or energy drink-overload by overwhelmed students and moms who need a focus/productivity/energy boost. 1 in 4 college students take illegal ADHD (focus) drugs to finish papers/ace tests. Moms just struggle to get through the day.

HERE'S WHY WOMEN HATE ENERGY DRINKS...BUT LOVE GUNGHO^R

Women, especially Moms, are the busiest people in the world; typically more tired and worn-out than men. So why are 85% of the consumers of energy supplements male? Female physiology experts have explained that Caffeine & B Vitamin overload is a nightmare physiologically for women.

MY REVIEW:

I am a coffee addict! Can't live without it. I have to have my caffeine. But the more coffee I drink, the more tolerance I seem to get to it's effects. Drinking more used to help, but now I worry about all those unnecessary calories and sugar! Don't drink your calories! Plus, it doesn't seem like coffee is even doing anything anymore. Time to move onto a new product! But taking care of two young kids and when you add the fact that I am an insomniac can having tiring results that drag me down throughout the day! Needless to say I was slightly skeptical. I being I myself tried GungHo and didn't know what to expect! I found it to be surprisingly tasty and gave me an excess boost of energy, a pick me up that lasted from when the mail ran, (because of course I drank it right away!) until I went to bed. It did not have any ill side effects and also didn't kep me up!  If you look on the product's website you'll find that they have a great free sample* offer. So try it now risk free! The free trial-pack to my readers with this link: www.gogungho.com/free. You just pay $2.99 shipping and get a free 3-pack. Tell them Locomotion of Expressions sent you!
