Hello Summer - Goodbye Cellulite!

It has been SO HOT here this week!  We have seriously gone from summer to a super short fall to summer again this year.  We hardly had a winter, if you can even call it that at all, and so far our spring is more like early to mid summer!

Even though it really isn't summer, it is only March for goodness sake, it will be here before you know it.  With summer comes capris, shorts and.....the always dreaded.....swimsuit!  EEEEEEK!!  It is RARE I go anywhere that requires me to be in a bathing suit, if I do....I RUN as fast as my short legs will take me to the pool and get in as quickly as possible for fear of someone seeing me.

All of my life I have battled cellulite.  It has not mattered how fit or active I may have been, it has ALWAYS been there.  I have made a commitment to getting my body as ready as I can for summer this year.  I have been walking, we are going to get bikes soon so I will be riding, and I am going to start Zumba.  Even with all of that I want a bit more of a kick start.

A few years ago, ok like 10 years ago, I used a cellulite cream.  I think from Mary Kay or it may have been Avon.  I can't really remember right now.  However, it did not work and in fact smelled SO bad!  Seriously!  Almost worse than self tanning creams!  The other day I was in Walmart and noticed Nivea now has a cellulite cream....and serum....and even a skin firming moisturizer!  Ooohhh!!  I thought that was pretty cool!  I love Nivea products, they are a brand that I really trust.  I decided to get all three and try them out.


I have been using the products for about 4 days now and can already tell they are helping, it will still be a while before I see the results they talk about on the box though.  I have noticed my skin does feel firmer.


I love that this is a system that works together.  You put the serum and gel on your problem areas and use the firming lotion all over, just like regular lotion.

 
 Serum

 
 Gel-Cream

 
Skin Firming Moisturizer

I do wish there were more precise directions though.  I am still confused as to what order to apply the serum and gel but, if it is working then I guess it really doesn't matter.  I went on their website and could not find any further instructions either.


Oh!  I forgot to mention the smell!  Oh my goodness!  The smell of all of the products is AMAZING!  It is a clean, fresh scent with just a tiny drop of floral.  No funky smells this time!  YAY!

Strawberries and Cream Instant Oatmeal | Recipe

I don't know about you but, we go through oatmeal like that is the only thing to eat on this planet!   Seriously a TON! My youngest would eat it for every meal and snack....every day....if I let her. Yes, the little packs can be cheap (if you can find a coupon and get them on sale) but it still adds up.  I used things I already had on hand so there was no extra cost to make this.  FREE is ALWAYS good!   I tried before to make little packets to keep on hand but that was a complete fail.  I have since reworked the recipe and am happy with the results.  I decided to just keep the oatmeal in a glass container this time and scoop out what we need, when we need it.  You can also make this into packets by just scooping the desired amount into zip-top bags. {Strawberries & Cream Instant Oatmeal}   12 Servings 6 Cups Quick Cook Oats 1 1/2 Cups Oat Powder 2 Cups Powdered Milk 1 - 1 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Fr...

Today I am posting at Mom It Forward!

Hey guys!  I have some EXCITING news!  Today I am posting over at Mom It Forward ! I have shared my Fiesta Chicken Tacos recipe, it is SO good!  Go check it out!  While you are there, check out all of my other posts I have shared there. The Fiesta Chicken Taco mix is GREAT on nachos as well!  I also made a quesadilla with some of the mix last night and it was AMAZING!  This is also a very frugal meal, the total cost for me was $2.67! Here is the breakdown: Leftover Chicken - Free Black Beans - $0.50 for 1 can Frozen Corn - $0.17 (it was on sale and I used coupons, it was $0.33/bag and I used half a bag) Tomatoes and Green Chilies - FREE (again, on sale and I had a coupon) Tortillas - $2 Total- $2.67!  Now, if you had to buy all of that at regular price it still equals out to a very frugal meal. Enjoy!
