Snoutstik Nose Balm –for dogs with dry noses Review

Yes you read that right #Snoutstick for dogs. We used to just rub a little petroleum jelly on our dogs noses when they were dry, but now they have #Snoutstick nose balm. Right now they have it is 3 scents Lavender, Pumpkin, and Rosemary. 

I received the Lavender scented #Snoutstick for my Saint Bernard Princess Goliath to try out. At first she wanted nothing to do with the #Snoutstick but after a few times she was alright with us putting it on her. I think it was a just a new to her scent and a bit more mellow then the Lavender cleaner I use for my floors. 

Our Saint is at the half way mark for her average years of life, and we want to prolong her life as long as we can. We never let her have a little of puppies and have rethought about seeing if we can find someone who would let their male try to mate with her. She is a good dog and to have another like her would be wonderful and she would have a few years to train the puppies before she crosses over the Rainbow Bridge. 

With #Snoutstick I know I can at least keep her nose healthy and beautiful for years to come. Here is to better health for all pets, while keeping it as organic as we can.

Surface Awaken Therapeutic Protein Mousse Review + Giveaway

When I think of hair care I think of Shampoo, Conditioner, Gel, and Mousse. These have been my go to products since I was a teen. I did dabble into dyeing my hair when I was younger but haven't done it in years. I think 10 or more thinking back. 

I am lucky at 42 to not have any grey hairs, but I have noticed that my hair is a bit more limp then it used to be, and to me it looks like it may be thinner but the hair stylist at least the last time I went said I have tons of hair it is just fine. 

I decided to try this mousse out to see what it would do for my hair. Mind you if I want my hair wavy it stays wavy, if I want it straight it stays straight, and if I want it curly it stays curly. People say I am lucky. 

Volume and a healthy scalp is what I wanted most out of the Surface Awaken Therapeutic Protein Mousse, but since I don't use styling products everyday I don't know if the benefits will last in between uses. When using it of course I have lots of volume, but don't think I have used it enough to see a difference in my scalp, but time will tell with that.

What Beauty Choices has to say about their product

Awaken Therapeutic Protein Mousse is by Surface.  Surface makes all natural, gluten free, 100% vegan beauty products.  This mousse has been specifically formulated to strength and rejuvenate thinning hair and maintain a health scalp, all while protecting your hair and giving your style the volume and control.

Merry Christmas from MarksvilleandMe to you.

Our month has been pretty busy with shopping, college, basketball, family trips, and me being ill for the better part of December. Christmas day is here and I am finally writing a personal life update for my readers.

We were not able to have Thanksgiving with our family until December 5th. We are missing 3 family members but this is the closest we have came to a family picture since 2012. 

I love advent calendars and finally after 24-25 years of marriage, dating, and children, I found the perfect one for our family. I ordered this through Zulily but it came from Pockets of Learning.

My daughter Deanna is on both the youth basketball team as well s the traveling team. Her traveling games have started. 

Deanna's regular position is short forward, but in the first game she was taking the place of her cousin while she was out sick and played a different position. As you can see we won 24-16Our family against the Germantown Clippers. They just had a game last Saturday against the New Lebanon Tigers with win of 32 - 9. So far the girls are rocking the games, lets see what they do in the next few weeks. We have a game coming up in the next few days.

Our family has Von Willebrand  disease with myself also having Thalassemia. I have struggled all of my life and never knew what I had until between my 5th and 6th child. Luckily something serious never happened to my children before we found out. Anyways with my husband being injured we now have time to take part in our Bleeding Disorder Association's programs. Above you see a picture of my husband Dennis and daughter Deanna playing a Hot game of Jenga, at the annual Snowflake Fest. 

Every year we say we are going to take this trip and every year we miss it due to other obligations or circumstances but we finally made it this year. Capital Holiday Lights in the park was a much larger display then we had thought they would be which was really pleasant for the whole family.

About mid month we finally got our tree up. We went with something really simple this year and did a snowman tree. Isn't he cute? With Fibromyalgia believe me this set up is something I want to do each year, but we did miss our traditional tree and will return to it next year while setting this up on our porch. 

Finally we made it to Christmas and we had the presents wrapped and ready before midnight for once. Last year I didn't even get to bake, and even though I am not baking as much as I usually do we were able to get Snickerdoodles, Peanutbutter Kisses, Magic Treasures, and Sugar Cookies made. With Fibromyalgia I never know when I will have energy or a less painful day so we take it one day at a time. 

Christmas presents, kisses, and family. What more can you ask for? God has blessed our family so much this year. Here is to another year of growth and healing for all. 

Merry Christmas from MarksvilleandMe!

Foxbrim Total Hair Repair Oil [Natural & Organic] Review

The Foxbrim Total Hair Repair Oil comes in a medium pump bottle for easy dispensing. The Foxbrim Total Hair Repair Oil is awesome. I use this after washing my hair. I comb through while my hair is still wet, and let naturally dry, but I have also used it before blow drying as well. A little goes a long way so I wet my hands pump a few times and work into my hair from ear to ends and then what ever is left over into my scalp. 

I have found working it into my hair this way is beneficial for me. My split ends aren't as noticeable and my hair looks great. I use this once a week. Like others I was afraid of my hair looking greasy, but you do not have worry about that unless you use too much. As I said a little goes a long way. I think that is what I like best about the Foxbrim line. It only takes a little to get the job done which means the product will last for a long time.
