My review of Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal+

I got my Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal+ in the Peach Almond flavor free in my Holiday vox box from Influenster. I was excited to try this, as the flavor sounded good, and I had heard good things about it. I decided that a saturday before my daughter's gymnastic's class was a perfect time to make it, as it is usually hectic getting both girls & myself ready & I'm usually the last to eat, if I eat at all.... Well, I opted for the microwave method, and it took twice as long to get it at a constincency that I was comfortable with. I ate it on the way, and it had a strange under/aftertaste to it that I could not place, the texture was also off, as the oats did not seem completely cooked, and there were way too many nuts in it. The flavor of the fruit was good, though, I just wish there was more fruit in it. They list a couple of more flavors on their website(http://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/real-medleys/apple-walnut-oatmeal.aspx), and I am interested in the summer berry flavor, it sounds really good, so I'll keep my eye out to see if I can find it in stores at a decent price. The influenster page(where you can find what others thought of it too!) says you can find it for $1.79 a cup, which I don't think is bad at all.. Check that page out here: http://www.influenster.com/review/quaker-real-medleys-oatmeal. . so far I have only been able to find it to buy online...so,  I will keep my eye out!

oh, and here are my pictures of the cup & after I made it, if you want to try to find it in your local stores:

My take on EBOOST

Well, I got a packet of this EBoost natural energy supplement free from Influenster in my Holiday Vox Box. I had to check with my doc to see if I could even take it, and she said I couldn't, as I'm 4 months pregnant, so for the purposes of the challenge, my hubby said he would try it, even though he doesn't really care for energy drinks, what a sweetie, huh? Anyways, I mix up a glass for him & he proceeds to try it....He says it tastes so disgusting, he can't even finish the whole glass! He says it has an overly sour & tart taste to it, and he can't place whatever fruit it was supposed to be (pomegranate acai, btw). Within about 20 minutes, it was also upsetting his stomach, and went right through him, if you know what I mean...I checked out their website, and the products are seriously expensive,($28 for a box of 20). Also, you can only buy it online, on their store. I can't see paying so much for some energy suppliments...I will say, though, they do have a redeeming quality about them, I called their customer service number and they were very helpful & friendly, and they did not say "oh,ya, it's safe" they told me to check with my doc, which to me says they are not only after their bottom line, that they do care for their customers. I am hoping, for their sake & the sake of others, that other flavors will taste/act better...

hmmm.... a bit of catching up

Ah, so I really haven't been on here for a while, well, I don't know if there's much to tell. I stay up late, watching TV or reading, I look through beauty blogs (mainly hair & nails). I take care of my girls, and my hubby. I'm currently doing hairstyles on my girls almost every day. Also, every other School day I do a letter hairstyle for my eldest. um.... we moved into some really great apartments! we're gonna get a dog soon, and maybe a cat! I'm getting pretty darn good at nail art, and hair! People keep saying I need to go to school for this stuff, I'm not so sure... we'll see.... Oh, I was pregnant, for like 3 months, only knew for like 2 weeks.... We got to tell my little girls and my mom, and i told my hubby in the cutest way (put a little ribbon on a bun, and put it on the oven b4 he went to work, with a note to say "it's all your fault" and then the inside says "one of your little guys made it...)... anyways, that was short lived, we lost the baby, before really getting used to the idea of another little one around here, but not after running though some hypotheticals and getting all hopeful... running through names & such. I actually didn't realize I really wanted a baby until after I lost one, now I really do want another baby, and I really want a boy, Travis came up with just the perfect name, and I just really want to be able to name my boy that, problem is, sis in law already took 1/2 the name, now we're gonna look like followers, or 1-uppers, depending on how we go about it, but the name is really important & special to us. We also have a perfect name picked out for a little girl, but also, other sis in law has recently said that name is one of her favorite girls names (she doesn't know we picked it for a girl if we were to have one), so we'll see how that goes, I feel she might see it as a betrayal if I was to get pregnant and have a girl & name her that, after she said that outloud to me.... Well, only time will tell what happens in our little life, in the mean time, I will be doing hair, raising some girls, getting back to being close with God, and hopefully being a good Wife, too!! oh, and I joined MOPs, so far I like it, only been to 1 meeting though....we'll see!!! hmmm..... maybe I will organize this blog better... not sure, so far I think I'm just using it as a rambling board... I don't know if I can post pics, or whatever else on here, I can maybe even use it as a hair blog.....well... maybe to bed with me, but maybe more surfing....

Figuring things out.......

just figuring out how to do this thing....haven't actually written anything in quite a while so I guess I'll start here.....I think it will start just as how I view the world and things happening in it, a journal of sorts.....maybe it will change the world......probably it won't....but I think I'm pretty insightful.

hmmmm.....well first of all, I guess my current gripe is that  my best friend doesn't seem to want to be my friend anymore, I know, sounds kinda juvinile, but I think especially at this age, it's pretty hurtful. When the woman who is supposed to be your kid's godmother makes no attempt at all to include you in her life it's pretty downgrading....she was my maid of honor, I've always been there for her & I thought her for me......I would wish that if she was to care for my children she would at least take the time to spend with us considering she apparantly loves us and we are apart of her heart....It's annoying when you can't get a call or text back or any conversation you have you feel as if you're being rushed to get off and that you're nothing but a nuissance....even more hurtful is to see that she seems to have time for so many others, what I like to call her "cool" friends....even had a new year's eve party at her house that i wasn't invited to.....how's that for a slap in the face? I feel shunned, and hurt and not like she feels I'm worth her time....what the hell did I ever do to anybody to deserve that?
