In full transparency, I wanted to make quesadilla uncrustables, but bought the wrong kind of tortilla. If you want to make those definitely get flour tortillas not corn. 

These are easy to make though, just use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut your tortillas, then fill and grill on the stove!

My baby is finally feeling better, thank goodness! My baby is finally feeling better, thank goodness! I'm going to be honest, I am exhausted. The emotional toll this week has taken on me has just made me a new level of tired. 

I saw something the other day and it really stuck with me. 

Nobody talks about this when you are thinking about having kids. They talk about the financial piece and the how it's going to change your life piece. But nobody talks about the risk you take by having something you love so much and all the worry that comes with it. 

It's a risk every day to have your whole heart walking around, and going to school and picking up illnesses. There is so much worry and stress that comes with it.

But on the other hand, what a privilege it is to have something you love that much. I have never loved anything the way I love this little boy.

While sometimes the emotions, intrusive thoughts, worry and stress get the best of me, I am grateful every second of every day that I get to be this perfect, beautiful tiny human's mom.

Thanks for all the sweet messages of encouragement this week. It's so nice to know I'm not alone. I'm very grateful for all of you!

5 Wellness Products I’m LOVING right now


*Post may contain affiliate links.

Woof. It’s Monday again, but it’s a Monday in October which makes it slightly less devastating. I just love October–in case you can’t tell from my Instagram stories. I’ve been decorating and shopping and buying fall clothes. It’s still really hot in Atlanta, but I’m just pretending it’s not and enjoying fall the way it’s supposed to be.

Also, this month is my anniversary and last night we booked a little weekend getaway for our anniversary weekend so I’m really looking forward to that. Oh and Mississippi State beat Auburn this weekend. It’s a great month so I’m letting that outweigh the fact that it’s Monday.

SO on this great Monday, I want to share 5 wellness products I’m just loving right now. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done one of these round-ups and I thought we were long overdue.

1. Biore Pore Penetrating Charcoal Bar – If you remember this post about Biore Charcoal products, you know how much I love them. I am so excited about the charcoal bar and I prefer it in the actual shower. I still use my regular skin care routine when I get out of the shower, but I actually prefer a bar soap in the shower. You can use it on both your face and body and the Jojoba beads aid in exfoliation. I love taking this extra step to clean my pores before I’m even out and dried off.

2. RXBAR Maple Almond Nut Butter – I received this nut butter in a PR package from RXBar and I am in love. This has a heavy maple flavor that is just perfection for fall. It is perfect spread on a rice cake, fresh apple slices, or whole grain toast. Man it’s so good.

3. Avatara Under Eye Mask – these under eye masks use hydrogel to reduce the look of dull and puff under eyes. You can just pop these under your eyes for 20-ish minutes. I also like to store them in the refrigerator before using for an extra cooling sensation.

5 wellness products

4. Sweet Peach Body Scrub – So I go to Sweet Peach in Atlanta for all my waxing and sugaring needs. This body scrub is the best exfoliating scrub I’ve ever used. It’s specifically Sweet Peach’s product, but they sell it online and there is nothing quite like it. I have the peach scent, but they also have a grapefruit and an oatmeal, milk, and honey scent. I use this both before a wax or a sugar and before a spray tan. It’s a very natural product and I can’t recommend it enough.

5. Live No B.S. Charcoal Mask – Obviously I fawn over Live No B.S. all the time on this blog, but their Charcoal Peel Mask is so incredible, I even have Stephen using it. I swear if you are looking for a good pore cleansing mask, look no further because this is the mask for you. Buy this. You won’t regret it.

What is your favorite wellness product right now?

    I am a huge fan of charcoal beauty products. I love how deep cleansing they are! I think I may have to invest in the under eye masks…this time of year the bags under my eyes seem to get bigger lol

    I love the under the eye masks, charcoal mask and the Rxbar. Since working from home I tend to snack on all the wrong things. So to have a healthy snack that is easy to leave on my desk is perfect. Loved the post overall. Had some great items for wellness.

    Love the idea of putting the eye masks in the fridge! I’ve been loving a gel mask in these cooler months – definitely going to try putting them in the fridge before use!

    I’m making a list… the Biore Pore Penetrating Charcoal Bar and the under eye mask are both at the top. I’m loving all these products you are sharing. I’ll have to try these products out.

    These all look so great! I need to try the Biore charcoal line. And the under eye masks would be perfect for my sleep-deprived eyes. ?

    I love a good charcoal mask! That Biore bar looks really interesting and this mama needs those under eye masks!

    Thanks for sharing those beauty products! Perfect under eye solution for me.

Today we are making a Valentine's Day waffle platt Today we are making a Valentine's Day waffle platter with nutella filled uncrustable waffles. I do realize waffles don't have crusts, but it helps keep the Nutella inside! 

How to make them:

-Then make your waffles, I found this cute @bydash mini waffle maker for Valentine's Day!
-Once they are done, spread a little nutella on a waffle.
-Add a second waffle to the top and use a heart shaped uncrustable cutter to make an uncrustable waffle. 
-Arrange these on a cute plate, add some strawberries, serve and enjoy!

What's your vote on Nutella? Delicious or overrated?
