   Whether you're about to go party all night, workout intensely, or just need to replenish your system, Salty AF is the ultimate hydration blend to replace electrolytes as they're needed. Electrolytes are an essential nutrient our bodies need, to help maintain proper electrical circuit functions - such as the heart, brain, and nervous system. These nutrients get absorbed by the cells in our body and aid in regulating blood pressure, hydrating and feeding your muscles and nervous system, alleviating headaches, and much more. This bottle contains a 30 day supply of the following naturally occurring minerals: Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium, Chloride Chromium, and Calcium. You can take the drops at any time of day, and feel good knowing that your body is receiving a healthy little dose of encouragement. 

   I love how simple it is to get in electrolytes now! With this easy to understand blend, I no longer have to drink sugary drinks to replenish loss of hydration after a workout. And the best part is, you can literally add Salty AF to any type of liquid. Including your favorite alcoholic beverage while at a party! The liquid doesn't really have much flavor, although some say it's sweet, others say it's salty, but all of that disappears in a cold bottle of water. This is a great way to re-hydrate your body in such a simple way. You can even enjoy it on an empty stomach! I love that the ingredients are straight forward with nothing extra added to them. No sugars, soy, starch, preservatives, flavors, or filler. It's all 100% Vegan, non-GMO and Gluten Free!


   You can find Salty AF available for purchase on Amazon or at saltyaf.shop as well as more information and answers to the most frequently asked questions about this product. You can also find them on Instagram to see photos, product reviews, tips, and more!

DIY Orange Scented All Purpose Cleaner


   One of my favorite DIY Cleaners is a citrusy orange scented, all purpose solution that cleans everything while leaving a pleasant smell behind. It's so easy to make, you fill a jar with as many orange peels as you can fit, then fill the remaining space with white vinegar, making sure to cover all of the peels. Seal the jar with it's lid and store in the cupboard for up to two weeks, though I find it can be retrieved much sooner and still smell great. Strain out the liquid into a spray bottle, leaving behind orange peels, and you can either leave solution as is, or dilute with water. I have done both, typically just adding in water to fill the remaining spray bottle space, which is around a half to a fourth. The orange peels help cover the vinegar scent, so your kitchen countertops will smell citrusy fresh!

Delicious Blueberry Muffins Using Mayonnaise


   If you have a lot of mayonnaise on hand, that needs used up before its expiration date, here are some quick ways to not waste it! Did you know you can use the mayonnaise as a coating for your chicken, before applying the breadcrumbs and frying? I did this the other day and it made the chicken so much more delicious! You can also use the mayonnaise in baked goods (breads, muffins, biscuits, cake, ect.) Which is what I did recently, making these oh so yummy Blueberry Muffins. These muffins came out with a nice slight crunchy outer coating, and a soft, perfectly moist, inside. The best part is, you can't even taste the mayonnaise, it's great! I liked these muffins so much, I will definitely be making them again! To make these muffins, you need the following ingredients:

  •  2 Eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
  • 1 cup of mayonnaise (I used Kewpie brand=best mayo evveerrr)
  • 2 tsp of vanilla extract
  • 1 TBSP of Cinnamon (give or take)
  • 2 1/2 cups of flour
  • 1 TBSP baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp of salt
  • 3/4 cup of milk
 
Mix all of the above ingredients together and then add in your preferred amount of blueberries. You could also use any other type of mix in and it would probably be just as good! Think... Blackberries, chopped strawberries or apples, shredded carrots or zucchini, chocolate chips, oatmeal... there are so many options! Once everything is all mixed together, start adding dollops of the batter into your muffin pan, either lined with muffin liners or well greased. (I like to use avocado oil if I don't have liners.) Place your muffin tin in the oven and cook at 350° for approximately 25 minutes. Test muffin center with either a toothpick or butter knife- if it comes out clean, your muffins are done cooking and ready to cool. If it's slightly doughy still, cook for another 5-7 minutes, as oven cooking time varies. The muffins should be nice and golden, with the perfect outer crisp, and once cooled, they're ready to enjoy!! 
 
 

Tarnishing Body Serum With Syn-Glow Peptides by Reviv Serums

Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

   With Summer coming, I want my skin to be ready with a natural glow and smoothness, so that sun-kissed look can be happening year round! With Tarnishing Body Serum by Reviv Serums, I can do just that, while encouraging my skin to renew its cells and produce a healthy looking tone. This serum is said to help improve fine lines, decrease wrinkles, soften skin, and so much more. It contains glow boosting Syn-Glow peptides to work deep down in the skin and produce results within 5 days!
 
 
   I've been using this product for a bit now, and though I'm not sure if it's working for me, it does absorb into the skin well. For some reason, it does cause my skin to make red dots upon using, but it fades within minutes. Since it doesn't sting or itch, I will continue using this product to see the benefits. The bright orange color is pretty, but also daunting, as you might think it will stain, but surprisingly it doesn't! The serum isn't made to have a scent, but it does have a very faint smell, that I just can't put my finger on. Maybe earthy or that of a foundation type makeup... The scent fades pretty quickly without being bothersome, and it can be applied under your daily moisturizer. The serum is designed for all skin types and made vegan, with environmentally clean ingredients. If you would like to find more information or you're interested in trying out Tarnishing Body Serum by Reviv Serums, you can find it available for purchase at revivserums.com

Quick and Easy Homemade Pumpkin Pie


   On behalf of Pi Day, I figured I'd share my very first homemade Pumpkin Pie, made from scratch! I made this awhile back, for Thanksgiving, (the only time of year I eat Pumpkin Pie 😄) and I think it turned out pretty good!

   Days before I started, I cooked a pumpkin in the oven, to get the insides all soft and mushy. I prepared an easy pie crust with the following ingredients:
 
  • 1 1/2 Cup of Flour
  • 1 tsp of Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp of Salt
  • 1/2 Cup of Cold Butter Chopped Up
  • 3 TBS of Cold Water
 
    Mix all of the ingredients together until it forms a nice ball of dough. Once combined, wrap dough and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes. While the dough is chilling, begin making your pumpkin pie filling. To do this, mix together the following ingredients:

  • 3 Eggs
  • 2 Cups of Pureed Pumpkin
  • 1 Cup of Heavy Cream
  • 1 tsp of Vanilla Extract
  • 3/4 Cup of Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp of Salt
  • 2 tsp of Cinnamon 
 
    When all the pie filling ingredients were combined, I took the dough from the fridge and shaped a crust into the greased pie pan. You can roll the ball and flatten it on the counter top, with some extra flour, but I was in a hurry so I just shaped it in the pan. This worked just fine! It may not have come out as pretty but crimping the edges with a fork helped :-) 
 
   Once the crust was ready, I used a fork to poke around inside and then poured the pie filling into the (still unbaked) crust. I then baked this at 425° for 15-20 minutes, then reduced the temperature to 350° and continued to cook the pie for 50-60 minutes. Once baked all the way through, I removed the pie from the oven and let it cool. 
 
   I then fridged the pie over night, for our Thanksgiving celebration the next day! It tasted just like a pumpkin pie should, although I think next time I would like the crust slightly sweeter and a little thinner. This pie tastes delicious on its own, cold, or warmed with with a dollop or two of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
