We've all heard of it, it covers the news outlets and medias day in and out. The pandemic has been hard on everyone. From lost jobs and income to loss of health and lives, our lives have completely changed. Not everyone understands the gravity of the situation; truth be told, there are many adults that have a hard time grasping the concepts, much less the children in our lives. A toddler doesn't understand why we're asking them not to play in a playground or hang out with their friends. However, a cooped up toddler who's lost their routine can spell trouble, more tantrums, and headaches for parents who are doing their best to provide for their families in these dark times. So, here are some great activities and tips that will help keep toddlers active and happy!

When you have a full-time professional job plus 2 fur babies and an actual infant, life is chaotic. That translates into a lot of caffeinated products and the occasional glass of wine. Unfortunately, for my teeth, that translates into stains and less-than-perfectly white teeth. Yes, I have an issue. Beyond the fatigue, constant neck and back pain, and love, I happen to cherish my dental health as well. So when the Smile Brilliant team reached out promising that I could have whiter teeth in just 1 week, I decided to give it a go.

Each season is fleeting, with both its ups and downs. Summer is a fantastic time of the year, especially for those of us trapped in parts with frigid winters. The gorgeous sun, warm waters, and longer days are a blessing that we love and miss as the days get shorter. However, with heat comes stickiness and that general feeling of ickiness. Then we get into fall, and it becomes cooler...a welcoming sensation for many, and for others, a reminder of the cold winters just beyond.

Eww, it's been that time of the year again. Everyone around me is sick! My hubby, in particular has been sick more often than not this current cough, cold, and flu season. I had great tips for him but you all know how husbands are, they don't always listen, even if it's in their best interest. At least I had Vicks® DayQuil™ and NyQuil™ Severe to help abate the symptoms and function as normally as we could. Read on to find our 5 Tips for the Cough, Cold and Flu season.

It doesn't take a genius to realize that life isn't just full of ups, there are always ups and downs. How you view the downs can affect your outlook on life and affect not only you but the others around you. Ever work with those people who are always negative and grumpy? You don't like being around them much, right? It's because their mood directly affects you and how you feel. It's the same the other way around.

How to easily prevent and treat flea and tick infections #dogs #pets #health

Being a pet parent, my heart always dropped when I thought I saw a glimpse of something small and black in between my furbabies fur. I was terrified that they'd get ticks and fleas despite my attempts at timely giving their monthly preventatives. Of course, I'm human too so there were months in which I'd forget to give it on time and would give it late. It's even worse with BabyPom because of his fluffiness. His fluff meant it was so tough for me to check his skin and he loves his walks ever so much. Whoever said Poms were indoor dogs was completely wrong when it comes to BabyPom. Anyhow, I can finally tell you what I've been using on him for the past few months.

Healthy #Halloween Alternatives & Snacking with Chia bars

Always on the lookout for a healthy snack or treat, I am always trying out new things. Health Warrior did great in the naming department. With a name like that, it’s hard to turn away from it. Right? It says Health Warrior! The Chia Bar, in its new packaging above, really does a thing or too to help you stay fit this Halloween season and beyond. Instead of handing out sugar-filled treats, which I admit, I am guilty of loving…you could hand out healthy goodies that not only taste great but also keeps the trick-o-treaters healthy.

My last #NSNation post & a Treat US 10/02

For those of you living under a rock, you may not have noticed that I have been doing Nutrisystem for a while now. While, the SO and I didn't make our goal weight loss, we were still was able to lose 10+lbs for which we am proud. We completed 36 weeks of Nutrisystem on 32 weeks of food. I know it's weird but with the travelling in between, the food lasted longer than if we were eating it steadily. It was a big journey and we were happy to be a part of the #NSNation for this time because without their support and generosity, we couldn't have gotten this far.

#Nutrisystem #Womens Week 36 Results, #Mens Week 28 Results #NSNation #weightloss #health #diet #samp

Well, we made it to the end of the program. It's week 36 and 28 of our Nutrisystem program. I actually ended up writing a month extra because my travelling meant I couldn't always pack my food with me so my 8 months of food was able to last longer. Here are our final results...

#Nutrisystem Month 9 #Video #Review #NSNation #Vlog #health #fitness #weightloss #samp

Here's Month 9 of Nutrisystem videos! This will be my last Nutrisystem video. This month's video is on more pizzas! This time featuring the dinner ones. They've replaced some of the old ones with new ones and we love both varieties. Well, it doesn't really matter for us now but I feel that others out there would enjoy both too.

#Nutrisystem #Womens Week 35 Results, #Mens Week 27 Results #NSNation #weightloss #health #diet #samp

Is it just me or is this month moving forwards ridiculously fast? Only 1 more week and it'll be over. We're currently at the end of week 35 and 27 of our Nutrisystem program. I had actually packed my Nutrisystem with me on my trip to California this week. I had it on the way there but once I got there, the good food really took over. I also had the rare opportunity to enjoy high tea with a couple of my blogger friends. I must say, it was absolutely amazing but it was a lot of food. So much that we couldn't finish it! On the way home though, my flight was delayed and BabyPom wasn't feeling very well so I didn't eat much the whole day. That might've been what made the difference between my results this week.

#Nutrisystem #Womens Week 34 Results, #Mens Week 26 Results #NSNation #weightloss #health #diet #samp

We're halfway through our last month. Only 2 more weeks and it'll be over. We're currently at the end of week 34 and 26 of our Nutrisystem program. I am trying to stay active and lay off the sugary drinks. I have found that I can drastically gain a couple of pounds when I drink alcohol. LOL! And I lose them just as quickly. Other than that, this week has been on track. I've been sticking with Nutrisystem foods and only ate out once.

#Nutrisystem #Womens Week 33 Results, #Mens Week 25 Results #NSNation #weightloss #health #diet

The count down has begun. Only 3 more weeks after this and we will officially be done with Nutrisystem. We're currently at the end of week 33 and 25 of our Nutrisystem program. I will admit, with the busy schedule, I haven't had time to record my food but I am eating Nutri.

#Nutrisystem #Womens Week 32 Results, #Mens Week 24 Results #NSNation #weightloss #health #diet

We're nearing the beginning of the end. Having just placed our last monthly order last week, we will be ending Nutrisystem in a short 4 weeks. We're currently finishing up week 32 and 24 of our Nutrisystem program. It has been a long journey and although our trip is coming to an end soon, it doesn't mean we'll quit trying. Oh, and that means, I'll have something for my readers.

#Nutrisystem Month 8 #Video #Review #NSNation #Vlog #health #fitness #weightloss

Here's Month 8 of Nutrisystem videos! This month's video is on pizzas! Or as New Yorkers like to call it, "Pie". Nutrisystem has pizzas for lunch now, the Roasted Vegetable Pizza which was surprisingly good. I remember heating mine up in the kitchen and the SO goes, "What it that? It smells so good. I don't get one?" LOL...

#Nutrisystem #Womens Week 31 Results, #Mens Week 23 Results #NSNation #weightloss #health #diet

Alright, so I guess the effects from my weight gain were not just to my weight but also to my waist. LOL...It's been awhile since I measured myself and this served for a good reminder and motivation to keep this up. We're currently finishing up week 31 and 23 of our Nutrisystem program. I also keep forgetting to order our food so that's what I'm going to do right after this!

#Nutrisystem #Womens Week 30 Results, #Mens Week 22 Results #NSNation #weightloss #health #diet

BlogHer has ended...it has been a few long but fun days. There was a lot of random eating...more like little nibbles here and there, a few drinks. Okay, fine, I had probably a minimum of 2 drinks a day, which doesn't seem like much, but I like sweet drinks so I was a tad worried and shocked when I saw my weight yesterday. It shot up. I had thought, since I didn't get a chance to eat that much, it shouldn't be so bad. Plus, I did a few workouts in the morning too! Are you ready for this bombshell that happened during my week 31? The SO is finishing up week 23 of his Nutrisystem program too but I wouldn't say he's worried about his weight since he wasn't out drinking.
