Earth Balance

I received this Earth Balance spread to try courtesy of BzzAgent. I picked it up at my local Kroger and decided to make some bread to try it on. It comes in both a tub and in sticks to make it more convenient for baking. It also comes in several varieties including coconut and soy free. While the Earth Balance vegan margarine is absolutely delicious it's fairly expensive. We had friends over for dinner and many of them loved it with the bread, in fact they had no idea it wasn't real dairy butter. If you're looking for a vegan butter option or just something a little healthier this one is fantastic, but because it's not something we use often it's not quite worth the expense to buy it regularly. 

Disclosure: I received these products complimentary from BzzFeed and Earth Balance for testing purposes.

Argan Oil

Argan oil! I am in love with this stuff. The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil  smells amazing and is good for hair and body. I have the  solid  and it makes a great cuticle oil. The label says not to use on the face but I may have already done that... I might grab a few items the next time I’m near a Body Shop because I really just want to smell like this all the time.  The Josie Maran Argan Oil Light  is a liquid and has no smell and can be used all over, including the face. It’s super effective at getting rid of flakes and dry patches. It also plumps wrinkles and improves skin elasticity. The “Light” version is different from  normal Argan Oil , it sinks into skin faster and dries with no extra shine, but from what I can tell it is missing some of the skin repairing properties of regular Argan Oil. I like to use the liquid on my brows and lashes because it can help them grow and my eyebrows need all the help they can get. You can either add a few drops ...

I don't take gym selfies...

The dermatologist said that sweating might help with the flares. Not losing weight necessarily, just being more active. For the first week I did 30 minutes on the treadmill, five times that week. I did it. I took my ass down stairs and did my treadmill time. I sometimes crashed afterward, but I did it. I bought new sports bras. I run to get my heart rate up then walk for a while, alternating as needed. I couldn't run with my old shitty sports bras. I bought the sports bras. Then there was a holiday weekend and a funeral and I didn't walk. And now I have hard spots in one arm pit and my stomach is raging. I did 20 minutes this morning. It was slow, I had to take a break, but it was 20 minutes. Now my stomach hurts and it's not getting better. But I did it. And I will try again tomorrow.
