I received this free from @thisisbutterly and @sambucolcanada. It is a vegan dietary supplement that claims to boost your immune system. While I can't say I've noticed a difference in my health after only sampling 4 gummies, I can say that it tastes great. It's like eating candy!

Elliott is learning to write his name.

I received this book for free through the @librarythingofficial Early Reviewers program.

I thought the pictures were beautiful. It is a simple story about a mother's scarf, which she wears to sleep at night.

As someone from a different culture, I found it difficult to relate to the characters. I wish the story went into a little more detail about the importance of the scarf.

My 4 year old son thought the bunny character was funny and enjoyed the story.

Overall I think this is a cute book.

I've been trying out the Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Scrub thanks to @thisisbutterly. I've never really used a body scrub before, so I wasn't sure HOW to use it since the instructions were not very clear.

I experimented with it by using it on one of my feet and not the other to see if it made a difference. My foot feels softer, but I haven't noticed a difference in the appearance of the skin. I will probably have to keep using it more often to really see a difference.

It was my first time growing tomatoes. I ended up with 5 of them. Probably only one of them is big enough to use.

Garden update. I grew one carrot this year and cleared out some weeds to hopefully have pumpkins before Halloween.

Pregnancy and gardening are not a good combination. My garden is pretty much all weeds and beyond hope (unless you can help me fix it!).

I do have a potted tomato plant with my first tomato!

Thanks to @thisisbutterly and @drinkbai I was able to try the new Bai Antioxidant Infusion drink, not really knowing what to expect.

The Malawi Mango flavor was very refreshing! It didn't have an overwhelmingly sweet mango flavor like other drinks do.

As someone who does not enjoy drinking water, it was nice to find a low calorie drink that actually tastes good. It also has a small amount of caffeine to give a little boost to your day.

I would like to try some of the other flavors as well!

Being 38 weeks pregnant, hair removal is the last thing I want to worry about. I was excited to try out the Nair Face Hair Removal. I have annoying hairs on my chin and neck that I wanted to get rid of.

I liked the design of the applicator. It made it very easy to use. I put on a layer of the Nair cream and let it sit for ten minutes before testing if it worked. It had not, so I let it sit for a few more minutes before removing the rest.

Unfortunately for me, the hairs did not wipe off. I tried plucking them after, and they were more brittle though. I will be trying it again after the 72 hour wait period to see if I can put a thicker layer on with more success.

With all the evacuation messages being sent out, seeing this outside my window has me a bit concerned. Should I be packing a bag?

The planting has begun. Today we have planted peas, carrots, onions, tomatoes, and flowers. More to come later in the season!
