Every month Terra Bella never disappoints. They have a perfect variety of beauty products in different categories. This month was a Valentines Day self pamper theme. Each item I can use in a normal day or while getting pampered for the day dedicated to love. Loving yourself is something I am working towards in my Better Choices series. When I can see in myself what God see’s in me, I know I am going in the right direction.
I am the kind of person who needs to use a moisturizer after every bath or shower. It just how much skin is. Especially my legs and my hips! I always go for a lotion and rarely remember oil as an option. My mother, on the other hand, uses oil like is is going out of style. Head to toe, after every shower. I remember this as a fond memory of her. I spoke with her and she still uses oil, so I decided to use this lottie’s body oil just like my mother for a few days and see what I thought.
I applied the oil just as I would a lotion and I was so surprised at how fast it soaked in! I was not left with wet or oily skin, but instead soft skin that was slightly shiny for a few minutes until it was 100% soaked in. Being that this product is oil, it does not feel like other oils I have touched. It soaks in like my skin is yearning for it instead of rejecting it. I am officially hooked to this product. I have used it on my 3 year old daughter too and she didn’t object, which says a lot of the quality of the product.
This Zum Rub is a combo of goats milk and shea butter. Its meant for treat those crazy rough areas of our bodies like our feet, ankles,
elbows, cuticles, lips and anywhere else you may need it. I have heard it makes an awesome tattoo cream. It comes in a small round tin, so its perfect for purses, car counsels and diaper bags. You can toss it where you need it most and it can be your little helper when you need it. I am the type of person who gets dry knuckles by surprise. One morning I just wake up and my knuckles are practically cracking. This is the best quick fix for almost cracked dry skin. It doesn’t sting, because there are not dyes or artificial fillers. It quickly absorbs and gets to work. I am so impressed with how quickly this restored my knuckles back to a healthy state.
Miss Violet Lace – Breath Atomizer in Wild StrawberriesThis is a super fun and unique product I would never have found without the help of Terra Bella Box. Miss Violet Lace has a super fun breath spray that comes in a fun and classy glass bottle. Sweetened with stevia, you can get amazing fresh breath without all the chemicals other breath sprays contain. This product uses USDA Certified organic extract for flavor and its meant to be used after meals or whenever you need to freshen up. My husband loves the smell and taste of strawberries, so this is the perfect way to freshen up before I cuddle up with him on the couch. When he smells that sweet berry scent I see a sneaky smile creep up on his face, which makes me the happiest wife on the block.
This is the type of lip plumper that will totally plump up your lips. The cinnamon oil used in this plumper stimulates your lips and brings blood flood to them, which in effect gives them a more full look. This is a great way to get ready for a night out on the town. You should not use this product daily, its a product to be used 1 or 2 times per week at most. Otherwise your body can become immune to the effects. If you like Red Hots the candy, you are going to love this product.
Country Market Crafts – Chocolate Cupcake Bubble Bar & Bath BombThis was my favorite product in this months amazing Terra Bella Box. You get 2 bath treats in one with this Country Market Crafts product. The top half is a bubble bar. You can use this all at once of break in half to use 2 times. Hold it under the faucet when your bath is filling to give yourself a beautiful array of bubbles. You will be amazed at how many bubbles you will get from such a cute little frosting shaped bar.
The cupcake base is the most moistening bath bomb I have ever used. This is coming from me, the queen of bath bombs. Its my go to gift that I get for every gift giving event. Christmas, my birthday, Easter Baskets (before I had kids…now they get them LOL), and Valentines Day. I honestly feel like I am an expert in bath products. This bath bomb is one of the best I have ever used! I literally cannot believe how soft it made my skin. I did not have to apply moisturizer afterwards, I mean it was the moisturizing. It turned my water a fun brown, and smelled like real melted chocolate. As you run your hands through the water you can feel the silkiness. It calmed me down and got me giddy at the same time, which was a fun twist. This will make the perfect gift for any bath lover.

The Didymos Indio Ruby Red is a wrap that is sure the wow anyone who sees it! When The Pierogie Mama visited Didymos HQ in Ludwigsburg, this wrap stood out above the rest. Not only was the color so rich and deep, it also reminded her of her own Ruby…who just turned 2 years old! So in honor of her baby not being so much of a baby anymore, The Pierogie Mama is excited to send a little bit of her daughter’s firey spunk to a lucky winner! Yes, this very wrap hitchhiked with Bianca (in her carryon luggage, mind you!) all the way from Germany to Seattle.

When I said I would make a change in my life and start to eat healthier I didn’t realize what food adjustments I would make. I have taken the approach to lower my caloric intake along with working out throughout the week. This allows me to eat all foods categories (IE: fruits, carbs, fats, proteins, vegetables), just in healthy portions. I need to make choices that are healthy and not top out my calories before I am truley full. Pasta has been a real luxury as the amount that l am willing to eat in calories doesn’t fill me up. Then I heard about Banza. Game changer!
Banza is a power pasta. Regular wheat pasta is filled with empty calories. With Banza pasta you get double the protein, four times the fiber and nearly half the carbs. The secret to Banza’s pasta is that it is made with chickpeas.
Starting with humble roots in Detroit, Bazna was the brain child of founder and non-food scientist Brian. By playing around in his own kitchen he came up with and eventually perfected his chickpea noodles, and dude, I am so glad he did!

Being a noodle lover, like pretty much every person ever, I cant imagine life without them. They are a staple in my household because they are guaranteed meal that my kids will eat. Toddlers have refined pallets that require a short list of foods, including noodles. Noodles with butter. Noodles with sprinkle cheese. Noodles with red sauce. Noodles with yellow cheese. Noodles with Meatballs. Noodles plain – dont you dare try to put something on those noodles this meal. But, its always noodles that will be requested. My kids literally eat some for a pasta withing every 48 hours period if not daily. These tiny bodies need as much nutrition I can squeeze in. Since they eat very small portions (small bellies only hold so much) I try to make each meal as beneficial as a picky toddler can allow. When I heard about these high protein chickpea based noodles by Banza I got giddy. Like honestly giddy. Can I really add protein to my kids diets in the form of a noodle?!
Here are some highlights I found interesting that I think you will too:
In the end I love this pasta! My son, who is underweight, really liked them and that is HUGE! This means I can offer him this pasta with butter to increase his caloric intake for the day. I am thrilled with this.
I highly recommend this pasta to, well, everyone!
Using the Penne Banza noodles I made this awesome, easy dish. Check out my new recipe for Weeknight Artichoke and Olive Pasta
This is the perfect dish for busy weeknights. You are hungry, you don’t have time to slave in the kitchen. You have little kids that are pulling on your legs. This is going to be a pin worthy, go to meal in your house now.

6 years ago, when I quit drugs and alcohol I quickly replaced my addiction with sugar. I wasn’t smoking a cigarette or having a beer after a meal now. I felt like I needed to fill that void. I needed something to finish off the meal. When I had my epiphany last year, which caused my Better Choices (a healthier you) series, I clearly saw after some self evaluation that I was filling that void with sugar. It’s a legal and addictive substance. Sugar gives you a quick high. Sugars change the levels of beta-endorphins (brain chemicals that make us feel good). This makes you think you are happy, while in fact later, once that high ends, you can hit a low, which can cause you to feel sad, regret or guilt. This is so me.
Now that I have been making Better Choices, I have been feeling great about myself….but I still like cookies! I still like treats! You can still eat sugar and treats, but you need to make sure that you are eating the correct proportions and that the ingredients are just any old ingredients. I know that I will never completely give up treats. I would be lying to myself and you if I ever claim that. I do need to find good alternatives to get my sweet tooth cravings but in a healthy way. This is where Ginnybakes has made a huge impact in my life.
Since starting Better Choices I have been having a real struggle finding a “real” sweet treat. I can eat peanut butter on toast. I can have mixed berries. I still want a cookie! Looking at and reading the labels in the cookie aisle can be depressing. Now, I can lean on Ginnybakes. Knowing their ingredients are all organic, non-GMO and gluten-free I can eat a proportioned package of mini cookies. I love having them packaged out for me. I cannot over eat my cookies because when the bag is done, its done! No “just one more” game. It’s such a helpful thing for me.
For a bite sized and proportioned option, Ginnybakes has ginnyminis! To avoid over eating you can easily grab a package of homemade ginnyminis and enjoy your fun, sweet snack!
Ginnyminis come in 6 awesome flavors: double chocolate happiness, coconut oatmeal bliss, butter crisp love, chocolate chip oatmeal bliss and chocolate chip love.
When I opened my first package of Chocolate Chip Love I was so happy to see that each cookie was slightly different. They tell us how they are truley homemade cookies, and seeing the individual tiny cookies, I can easily see that these are not pumped out in a mass production machine. You can taste the time and love put in each one.
These ginnybars are slam packed with oogles of goodness. They are organic, gluten free, non-gmo, vegan, dairy-free, wheat/oat-free and kosher. They have powerful antioxidants and are loaded with almonds, walnuts, pistachios, coconut, dates, love and passion. I am a big pistachio fan and was pleased to actually taste them! Being such a luxury nut many foods that contain them kind skimp out and that effects the flavor. These bars are super tasty and so good for you. The Love & Nuts bar contains only 160 calories per bar and it great for a mid morning snack to help tie you over until lunch time. They are perfect for purses or diaper bags, as toddlers love them too!
Ginnybakes specializes in their delightful cookies. Offering 10 drool worthy flavors, they are sure to carry a few of your favorite flavor combos. These cookies are sweet enough to get your sweet tooth craving completely satisfied but not so heavy in sugar that you feel sick or guilty after having your treat. They are the perfect cookie for those of us watching what we eat and trying to watch our waist line.
Chocolate Chip Love – tastes like a cookie your grandmother baked yesterday morning. Fresh, crisp and light
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal – it has the oats which give this chocolate chip treat that extra crunch you love
Double Chocolate Chip – double the chocolate, what more can you ask for?
Coconut Oatmeal Bliss – this made me instantly think of a certain girl scout coconut cookie. It was beyond amazing
Dreamy Vegan Delight – this was a light and crispy cookie with soft hints of vanilla
Now that you have seen how amazing these treats are you should hop over to the Ginnybakes website and find a local near you so you can get these treat in your cabinet at home.
