Strawesome Blog

There’s a theory out there that our glass straws are unbreakable (even though we say they are breakable), so I set out to discover once and for all who was right. My testing process was to drop glass straws on cement, granite, tile, and other really hard surfaces from counter-height.   Read the rest of this entry »

You might be in the same shoes; super busy mom trying to manage a million things in one day. If so, you’ll enjoy my new posts “Confessions of a Busy Mom” that showcase how in the world I can get any time to myself in the average day. 

I personally believe a pedicure is a waste of my time and hard earned money.  Doing it myself is just as rewarding but who has the time!?!  Here’s a short cut! If you have little kids like I do you know they love bath time.  And as the mom I end up sitting there either reading or playing with them.  Sometimes they don’t want me to play with them so instead I opt to give myself a pedicure.  It’s the perfect time because there’s hot soapy water to soak my feet in just calling my name. I keep all my other supplies in the kid’s bathroom cabinet.  Keep on hand a good foot scraper, some shea butter to put on afterwards and  some socks to slip on just before I get the kids out of the tub.

Until next time!

I love me some kale chips and recently had the opportunity to try two different flavors of kale chips from Rawk n Roll Cuisine.  We had the pleasure of trying the “Notchos” kale chips and “Onion – a – Million” kale chips.

First off, these chips are made with integrity as the kale itself starts out pesticide free and then all the ingredients used to flavor the chips are organic or sprouted and totally raw.  As their tag line states, this is Raw Food That Rocks!  You would never know it’s raw, it’s packed with so much flavor and crunch.

My personal favorite was the Onion- a – Million version.  Traditional sour cream and onion flavored potato chips are a favorite of mine and therefore I have to stay far away from them.  I’m happy to have found a healthy alternative to unhealthy chips!

Try them for yourself and let me know what you think!
