Losing It!

Yesterday I decided that I am sick and tired of being overweight. I used to weigh 50 lbs less than I do now and yes some of it is from having a baby but I think it is about time to start getting back into shape. (My son is almost 2 years old now)

I'm going to try to eat better and work out more but my goal is to lose 42 lbs. So wish me luck!

Cinco De Mayo!

3 years ago today I married the love of my life David. Yep we didn't plan to get married on the same day as Cinco De Mayo but we did. ( it makes it easier to remember what day our anniversary is)

It is hard to believe that it has already been 3 years. We have a great 18 month old and dog named Bailey. Wow time flies by!

Have a great Cinco De Mayo!

Mmmmm Pretzels!

You can eat them with cheese or covered in chocolate! Both are my favorite types of pretzels!!!!

In case you all were wondering it is National Pretzel Day! And in honor of the pretzel I am posting about Kim and Scott's Gourmet Pretzels.

I have not yet tried these pretzels but they look delicious! My favorite so far is the grilled cheese and the sourdough asiago! They are twisted by hand and made from scratch.

Angel Light Giveaway

Today I am featuring my first giveaway and I am so excited!


Angel Light is a homemade soybean wax candle company in business since 2004. Their candles are made with great care to ensure safety, efficient burning and a beautiful appearance!



Each candle is hand poured and made of 100% soybean wax, a vegetable based additive to appearance, Eco friendly dyes and vegetable wax coated wicks. They promote the use of renewable resources like soybean wax and oil as an alternative to paraffin wax and mineral oil.



Let me give you a little information about soy candles:

• they burn clean with little or no soot



• are non-toxic biodegradable



• environmentally safe



• longer burning than paraffin



• excellent cold and hot scent throw



• made from soybeans grown in the USA



• lead free wicks

Angel Light offers many unique products such as a 20 oz Morgan jar candle, soy hand and body lotion and whipped Shea body butter. And so many more options!













There are so many different and unique scents for the candles (the scents are not available for the body products). Scents like Tranquil Sleep and Carrot Cake are just 2 of the many different scents.



These are the categories of scents: (And these are just the beginning!)

• Yankee



• Bath & Body Works



• Victoria's Secret



• Christmas Scents



• Fall Scents



• Spring Scents



• Other Scents

I am really looking forward to trying these candles because I really like the fact that the Angel Light candles are not only great for the environment but also for my family! I love the fact that there are sooo many options for scents so many times candles only come in certain fragrances.




I would like to thank Angel Light for this great giveaway!
