2.) Sleep! Let the mom in your life take a nap, sleep in and just relax a bit today. This is one of the easiest gifts to give. So fellas, when the kids come creeping in, be the hero and quickly (and quietly) sweep them out of her room and keep them busy far away from your sleeping beauty. 3.) Sunday Riley C.E.O Cream. This amazing cream, which has been newly released by the ever amazing Sunday Riley, is not named CEO for being the boss, but for its main ingredients, vitamin C and exopolysaccharides. These ingredients help protect skin from pollution and aid in the fight against signs of aging. They also included antioxidants, which together gives us the C.E.O. name. If you are a women who is like me, and thinking more and more about what I can do to keep my skin youthful, then this is a the new cream from you collection. It would make a great mother’s day gift along with an evening of peace and quiet while she enjoys the custom photo blanket of the family.

4.) Clean up! Tidy up the house. Keep up with the dishes, toss in a load of laundry, wash a toilet! Any and all of these acts are 100% on your ladies wish list. These are daily activities and may not seem like a traditional gift, but she will be thrilled to get the day off from these necessary tasks. 5.) Kitchen Appliances/Tools. Kyocera Pan Sets

When it comes to choosing kitchen appliances for your mother for mother’s day, it’s always best to read reviews like those from All Great Appliances first, as it allows you to make an informed choice that won’t let her down. Here, we take a look at some appliances that would make safe purchases and be sure to put a smile on her face. Kyocera is a trusted brand that has been around for years. I have used a TON of pans throughout time as a person who loves to cook. I have tried many name brands throughout the years, but none are like the Kyocera Coated Pans. They come with a heavy steel handle, which makes holding and maneuvering great. The underside is coated with a special layer of metal to ensure that all the food, no matter where it is in the pan (center or outside edges) it is completely evenly cooked. I LOVE that feature. I dont have to rotate the food in the pan to ensure an even cook. My husband keeps raving about how great they are, he loves how easy they are to clean and that no marks are left behind. We highly suggest trying a pan by Kyocera soon.

Plume Lash and Brow Serum

categories: Reviews

Have you lusted for longer, thicker eyelashes and eyebrows?

Plume Science created a special formula that boosts the growth of your eyelashes and eyebrows in a safe and natural way. Their creation, Plume Lash & Brown Enhancing Serum was formulated by a master cosmetic chemist and clinically tested to promote the longevity and fullness of brow and lash follicles. Many women, including myself, can suffer from dramatic hair loss after the birth of a child. with my second child, I went threw a phase where I thought I was going to go bald! I didn’t thankfully, but when I would it seemed like the hair would just fall out in chunks. Many women also suffer from their eyelashes falling out at this time too. There has been eyelash serums on the market for a while, however, they are all made with harsh chemicals and have scary side effects like damage to your vision. Founder of Plume, Lauren Bilon, who had negative effects from using the harsh chemical-based eyelash regrowth products after losing her lashed post-childbirth. Lauren turned to false lashes for a while to salvage her lashes and microblading to save her eyebrows. Microblading is a semi-permanent tattooing technique, where fine strands of hair are tattooed between the existing hair, creating a fuller brow look. The idea of a brow shaping may be appealing to many, especially if the eyebrows need a little bit of work. As we know, our eyebrows do frame our faces, so it makes sense to look after them. She even did a course for microblading training Bay Area to help other women in the same situation. As she has a solution for her brows, it was now time to find a solution for her lashes. Thankfully, she saw the need for a safe product to help women regrow and enhance their lashes but in a safe and natural way with a natural lash serum.

This amazing product is made to be used daily for a 60-90 day period. Be sure to shake the tube before each use and apply to either your eyebrows, your eyelashes or both. Plume helps with length, thickness, and fullness. With this being said, this product may not have the same results for some people that it may have for others. It can be hit or miss, so then it comes as no surprise to find that someone who is self-conscious about their brows may decide to opt for an eyebrow transplant to get fuller brows. But when it comes to trying new products, it’s about being consistent to see the best results.

Longer

Keeps hair follicles in a prolonged growth phase, allowing lashes and brows to achieve greater length

Thicker

Locks in keratin, moisture, and key nutrients to increase hair volume, thickening and strengthening lashes and brows at the root. Find the best hair growth serum to really make the difference.

Fuller

Protects delicate hairs from environmental harm and breakage to keep more lash and brow hairs in place

Apply the serum apply like an eye liner, as the base. The brush is soft and smooth. You can use it in the AM and PM, but be sure to use it daily either way. Let it fully dry before putting on any mascara or eye makeup.

Plume is made with 100% natural ingredients, making it safe to use when pregnant and when nursing!

Plume comes with a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. If you are unhappy with the product, reach out and tell them what your thoughts are and what happened. They want to leave you happy, and I think this type of service is amazing.

Plume is made to be used daily for 12-14 weeks. You will see results in little as 14 days, but it is suggested to use the product for the full time period/until the bottle is empty to get max results. If you apply the serum more than 1 time per day the bottle will not last the 12-14 weeks and you will finish it earlier. Have fun and take photos every day or two to capture the growth and experience of using Plume. Be sure to share your progress by tagging them on social media

Kuhn Rikon Duromatic Micro Microwave Pressure Cooker

categories: Reviews

Have you ever considered investing in a pressure cooker? I spent a lot of time looking at electric pressure cooker reviews, they are pretty cool yet a tad intimidating when you have never used one before. I have discovered the Kuhn Rikon Microwave Pressure Cooker and it has taken away all reservations. Their Microwave Pressure Cooker is easy to use, easy to clean and works with your average microwave. Taking up no counter space and easy to use, this machine is perfect for the average home cook.

Kuhn Rikon is one of MamatheFox’s favorite brands. The products are always the highest quality possible, their service is stellar and every product has the average home cook in mind. This Microwave Pressure Cooker is no exception. It comes with a lovely booklet with tons of recipes ranging from breakfast, dinner meals (both meat and vegetarian based), soups and desserts. The unit comes with the DURMATIC Micro base, a lid, a silicone gasket and a bottom trivet.

This model can create dishes that feed 4 people, which makes it the perfect tool for any family.

Tips for using the DUROMATIC Micro Pressure Cooker:

  • Before your first use, be sure to clean all parts with warm, soapy water.
  • Never fill past the water line (see MAX marker inside unit).
  • Make sure you always add enough water (see inside of unit for MIN water marker).
  • Make sure the silicon gasket is inside the lid and that it lays flat inside the groove but just below the stopper.
  • Be sure the lid is aligned with the marker lines on the side handles. Turn it until it stops turning.
  • Always use the handles when picking up the unit.
  • Use oven mitts when handling the unit when hot.
  • NEVER use force to open the pressure cooker.

Understanding the pressure gauge:

  • When the pressure gauge is raised (popped up), the cooker is under pressure and MUST NOT be opened.
  • During cooking the extra pressure is released via this valve, which is why it is very important to pay attention to it.

The DUROMATIC Micro pressure cooker is used for cooking foods, with the addition of water, in the microwave, My friend used this technique in his Panasonic NN-SN936B. It worked great!

The DUROMATIC comes in 2 colors: Red or Green

MamatheFox’s Tips and Advice

  • Always be sure to have enough liquid in the pressure cooker. This can cause damage to the pressure cooker and not properly cook your food.
  • I love using it as a steamer for my veggies, and so do my kids. They love added their food, the water and getting to place it in the microwave themselves. Makes cooking easy and safe for kids (parents always handle the pressure cooker when hot).
  • Use it to make noodles in a flash! Add your noodles and ample water and let the micro pressure cooker handle the boiling and cooking. This is WAY faster than waiting for water to boil and gets your hungry kids fed faster.
  • Have fun and experiment with different recipes. Look for more on the internet and enjoy.

Best Jogging Stroller Benefits

categories: Reviews

Best Jogging Stroller Benefits

Jogging on a regular basis can help you boost your health and overall well-being. To make it even better, you can be able to engage in this healthy activity with your baby by using a jogging baby stroller. If you’re not sure where to find the right jogging stroller, take a look at https://bestbabyaccessories.com/.

Here is a list of the top benefits of jogging with a baby stroller.

Affordable Exercise

Pushing your baby’s stroller as you jog provides you with the opportunity to exercise at an affordable cost. You don’t need an expensive gym membership to be able to shed the extra pounds you gained during the pregnancy period. All you need to purchase one of these jogging stroller as recommended by mommasbaby.com and a pair of jogging sneakers. If you’ve travelled somewhere that isn’t convenient to transport your stroller to yourself, you could consider renting one – find a stroller rental near me.

You can then jog around whenever you want to, and exercise as needed at no extra cost. If you’re looking for any recomendaciones for what stroller to invest in, you might want to have a look at some pram comparisons to evaluate all of your options before making an informed decision.

Bonding

One of the top benefits of a jogging stroller is that you get to spend more time with your newborn, strengthening the bond you share. Instead of having to hire a sitter every time you want to go out jogging, you can take your baby with you and spend some valuable time together.

You can explore the outdoors, engaging with your child as you do so. Of course, due to adverse weather, it might be worth investing in a Stroller Rain Cover & Weather Shield. Furthermore, you can sing songs to make the jog even more enjoyable to your newborn. Even as your child grows older, you can explore different activities you can engage in together including fun games.

Weight-Loss

Another benefit of using a jogging stroller comes through weight loss. Jogging has been proven to be one of the best ways to shed extra pounds. According to research findings, jogging can help you burn up to five hundred calories. This number can be increased when jogging while pushing a baby stroller at the same time.

Using a jogging stroller will definitely get you back on your way to optimum physical fitness and your old weight.

Health

Jogging has been found to have a variety of positive health effects. First and foremost, jogging on a regular basis helps you strengthen your bones. As your feet hit the pavement, they become stronger with time. Jogging has also been shown to help improve heart health. Jogging on a regular basis can help reduce your risk of suffering heart injury by about fifty percent.

Other health benefits of jogging include stress relief and an improved immune system.

Outdoor Experience

Perhaps one of the most important benefits of jogging is the outdoor exposure your child gets. Experiencing new and different sights, sounds and smells will definitely positively impact your newborn’s development.

From the above you can clearly see that jogging with a baby stroller comes with a variety of irrefutable benefits.

We have been using these pans exclusively for several weeks and I am loving so many things about them. Here are MamatheFox’s top thoughts:

  • Easy to clean
  • Cooks my food evenly (the center of the pan is as hot as the edges)
  • The handle is easy to hold (use a mitt)
  • It has deep sides, which is great for sauces and to keep some oil splashes contained

I read that these should not be stacked with other pots/pans, to keep the scratching down. The bottom has a special stainless steel plate, and that can cause scratches against other surfaces if not treated properly. I have not experienced any scratches, and I have stacked mine (I know I know…). I do appreciate that they tested these and were happy to share their experiences with the consumers.

2-pc Set: a $99.95 Value for only $94.95 – $5.00 Savings! This (2) piece set includes one 8″ and one 10″ ceramic fry pan.

You do want to use some form of oil or grease every time you use that pan. This will help not only for food, but the pan kept in prime condition. This is unless you are cooking something very high in fat (like a duck breast). Applying oil will help to avoid dry burning the ceramic.

If food does get caked on your pan, let is soak with water, soapy water for 30 minutes. Don’t try to scrape it off right away. That can cause scratches and damage to the integrity of the pan.

Sunday Rileys C.E.O Cream – The New Boss

categories: Reviews

C.E.O is the amazing new cream that has been recently released by the ever amazing Sunday Riley. It is not, however, named C.E.O for being the boss, but for it’s main ingredients, vitamin C and exopolysaccharides. These ingredients help protect skin from pollution and aid in the fight against signs of aging. They also included antioxidants, which together gives us the C.E.O. name. If you are a women who is like me, and thinking more and more about what I can do to keep my skin youthful, then this is a the new cream from you collection.

You can purchase Sunday Riley’s C.E.O Cream at Sephora

This Mama’s Experience

I have never, I mean never smelled a cream so amazing in my whole life and I have seen a lot of creams that are meant to be for natural anti aging skin care. C.E.O has lime pearl extract, which gives it a fresh and soft scent that lingers only as it is applied. I do not like heavy perfumed creams, but I also dont like ones that smell like the root ingredients either. It’s a fine line really. Sunday Riley really hit the mark with their choice in lime pearl extract. This not only gives the cream the most beautiful scent, but its a key ingredient too. The lime Sunday Riley uses is extracted from the caviar lime. These pearls are a natural source of AHA, which is perfect for skin exfoliation.

The other key ingredients are: Vitamin C, exopolysaccharides and Bisabolol. Here is my easy to understand break down of these ingredients.

Vitamin C – It is clinically proven to promote natural collagen (youthful looking skin/anti aging like quality). It brightens your skin tone in a similar to products such as Glutathione by Quicksilver, provides anti-oxidant support and fights damage caused by UV-B exposure (the sun). There are several types of vitamin c that can be used in manufacturing a cream and Sunday Riley choose the one that is less irritating so keep your skin calm and happy.

Exopolysaccharides – this is found in Kopara deposits located in French Polynesia (in the ground). It protects our skin from the visible effects of pollution exposure bu shielding effect from PM 2.5 (the particles found in smog).

Bisabolol – this is a derivative from Chamomile. It helps calm the look and feel of reactive and sensitive skin. Its often used in baby products because of its soothing effects.

With time I have noticed a shift in my skin. In my 20’s I had a more oily skin that was acne prone. Now, in my 30’s my skin is way dry and much more sensitive. It makes sense that now I need to shift my beauty regime to one that is more nutrient based and one that is rich in moisture. I often have to apply multiple layers of face cream in the mornings after my shower. This is due to my skin require more moisture than it used to. With Sunday Riley’s C.E.O, I only have to apply my cream one time! This means it is really soaking in fully and working instantly. I love how my skin feels after applying a luxurious coat of C.E.O. It quickly absorbs so if I am in a hurry I am able to immediately apply my foundation and make up for the day.

As a mom who is constantly outside, on-the-go and unfortunately aging daily, I know this is the prime time to care for and nurture my skin. As a woman in her mid-30’s I have to be proactive and take extra measures to ensure I keep my youthful and healthy skin. While I don’t strive to be a beauty star, a model or anything more than who I am, I do want to be a good steward to my face and the skin the good Lord gave me. I believe by using this rich in moisture and fully loaded face cream I am doing just that.

As you can read, I have nothing but positive things to say about Sunday Riley’s C.E.O Cream.

Do yourself a favor and pick one up today, and be sure to add it to your Mother’s Day wish list this year.
