Postpartum Incontinence: Oops, I Pee’d My Pants Again!

Postpartum Incontinence: Oops, I Pee’d My Pants Again!

No, I am not even joking.

As you know, if you read my other post and or see my Instagram photos, I just had my daughter 3 weeks ago. And when you have children, nothing ever goes back the same way it was before, and that includes your bladder control. I literally stood up in the hospital after giving birth, started to pee and didn’t even have the urge; it just all came pouring out at once and I felt so embarrassed since I didn’t think it was normal, but, it turns out that it really was normal. I later learned that having an epidural can make it drastically worse since you just feel numb in that area.

The Vitamix E310 may be a budget model without all of the bells and whistles, but it can still blend up and create some pretty great things like; body butter, bread, salsa, nut butters, soups, smoothies and much more.

The Birth Story of Delilah

The Birth Story of Delilah

A few weeks before Delilah was born, we decided to do a cervix check. My OBGYN said I was at 4cm and 80% effaced, so I was walking around like that for who knows how long before that. My doctor was sure I wouldn’t be in labor long and would be having her soon, but, I knew to take what she said with a grain of salt since she said the same thing when I was pregnant with Arya, and dilation isn’t really an indicator of labor progression. Basically, you can walk around like that for months.

Wee Blessings Clothing Box

Wee Blessings Clothing Box
I recieved a complimentary wee blessing clothing box in exchange for my honest opinion. Regardless, I only recommend products and companies i believe in.

With 2 little ones now, getting out and about to shop is not an easy task. It takes me about an hour just to get ready to leave with 2 kids in tow and that’s just getting them dressed, diaper bag packed, hair fixed and all buckled up in the car seats. That’s why shopping online is convenient for busy parents like me; and the best part is, you won’t feel like you just ran a half marathon doing so.

How to Fight the Anti-Aging Battle with Clinical Skincare Options

How to Fight the Anti-Aging Battle with Clinical Skincare Options

As I reached the ripe age of 36 last month, I have been worried about my skins texture. As you know, your skin changes in appearance and consistency when you age. It is normal for changes in dryness, thickness and tautness to occur over time. Such changes happen because your body will naturally produce less of the materials that strengthen skin cells as you get older. Collagen is one of the most important of those materials. Luckily, collagen can often be replaced and strengthened through the use of various anti-aging treatments. Anti-aging treatments can be used to make your skin healthier in other ways as well.
