DIY First Aid Kit


Have you ever purchased a First Aid Kit (expensive by the way) only to find out it have hundreds of bandages inside. When you are a mommy, college student or just want to be one step ahead you are going to have to make your own first aid kit. 

So I made a bit of research of some basic things you need to have in your medicine cabinet: 


  1. Aspirin (pain relief, fever reduction)
  2. Antibiotic Ointment (Prevents infection on minor cuts and scrapes)
  3. Antihistamines (Congestion, Colds and even Bee Stings)
  4. Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
  5. Ibuprofen (Advil)
  6. Thermometer 
  7. Antiseptics (Alcohol)
  8. Cortisone Cream (Relieves itching and inflammation, bug bites and skin allergies)
  9. Anti Fungal Cream (ringworm, jock itch, athlete's foot)
  10. Calamine Lotion (pain and itching caused by bug bites)
  11. Tweezers (Splinters)
  12. Adhesive Bandages
  13. Gauze Pads/Surgical Tape
  14. Elastic Bandages
  15. Eye drops
  16. Aloe Vera Gel (minor burns)
  17. Antacids (liquid or tablet)
If you have this you are pretty much set for any minor injury, pain etc. This is only temporary so if you have a serious problem do not rely on the Internet and seek professional medical help.

Zevia All Natural Soda Review & Giveaway

I recently started a "diet" because I noticed that I have been eating too much junk food and its hard to let go of everything all at once. One of the hardest thing to let go off is soft drinks. I know people that have made soft drinks their every day essential. For those of you who love drinking soda and want to stop this is a great alternative. Zevia contains plant based sweeteners that have no sugar and only a small amount of carbohydrates this makes Zevia drinks only 7 grams per can. Regular sodas have around 30 grams of sugar and typical diet sodas are sweetened with artificial sweeteners .  Zevia is a NO Calorie, NO Gluten, No Net Carbs and NO Artificial Flavors. You can go to their blog  and find ways to use Zevia in recipes or DIY to reuse the cans.

Enjoy Review

Hello Ladies, Like many of us, we value the importance of treating our hair. It is one of the great things that makes us unique. In order to get my hair that smooth feeling and shine I love using products that I can trust. I got the opportunity to try out the Enjoy Hair Moisture Plus Trio. This is great for damaged hair and you know you need this when the weather is changing. I have to say this is one of my favorite hair products so far. I love the Enjoy Hair Mask. My hair has never felt better. Though I do not have perfect hair and I use a flat iron and curler on my hair on a regular basis using this trio has made me feel like I can wear my hair down without using any heat. It gives my hair volume and it has a clean smell, if that makes any sense. My hair feels clean throughout the day and that makes me happy. The shampoo and conditioner are thick and silky so you don't have to use a lot of product to feel the difference. Overall I think these are great products, they are o...
