July Cord Blood Awareness Month Get Informed

I can not believe we are already in July ! I feel like we just rang in the new year and here we are seeing Christmas in July Sales, right? July is a very important month, it is Cord Blood Awareness Month you may have heard about cord blood in the past, today I am talking about Cord Blood Registry the truth is if you are expecting or know someone expecting it is a very exciting time to become a parent with this newfound research and you should be as informed as possible to make the right decision for you and your family.

When I had my first son 3 years ago the only information I received about CBR was a pamphlet at my Drs office in my welcome bag, no one explained any of the amazing benefits to us. Then my second son came along just a few months ago and this time we had our Dr vaguely go over the benefits. Our family only became familiar with the newest information right before we welcomed our second son, I felt I was not informed enough to go through with the banking of his stem cells so we we decided to opt out. This is the reason I am so happy to talk about the cord blood registry here in a space where questions are welcome and comments are welcome!

Having a baby is such an emotional and beautiful time in life for families but it is also very important that we educate ourselves on very import aspects of today's information like cord blood awareness.

I wish I would have been more educated about the amazing benefits of Cord Blood the choice is yours, get educated and make the best decision for you and your family. I would most certainly consider cord blood banking in the future. Find out more from the Cord Blood Registry

A Healthy Makeup Routine With ZENMED!

Makeup can actually be good for my skin? Yes, it can with ZENMED! 100% Doctor-formulated, naturally-based skincare with a conscience in mind.

You guys ! I had the pleasure of working with ZENMED and trying the BB Cream, HiDef CC Powder and the Anti- Redness Mask I must say I'm hooked. With pharmaceutical-grade ingredients mixed with vitamins how could you go wrong, I honestly had a complicated makeup routine before kids adding primmer all the way too finishing spray, well life calls and I still love putting on makeup everyday because it makes me feel productive and awake (or is that the 5 cups of coffee ) 😊 Here is me using the BB Cream and the HighDef Powder first thing in the morning.

 

When I first squeezed out the BB Cream it was a little oily I just made sure I mixed it together well before applying it to my face and it was perfect! The BB Cream it applies so easily and gives me the right amount of coverage for daily use, I will add I wore the BB cream all day added a little when my husband got home and we went out to dinner so it is very versatile and  easy to add too. It is not greasy or oily nor does it have a bad smell like some of the big brands I have tried. The CC Powder has a yellow undertone and should not be used like a regular powder it works wonders on red spots / areas on the face and neck. This was after dinner at the park, still looks perfect.

I tried the Anti Redness Mask at night since I am always worried about how my skin is going react to a new product, it was so gentle and left my skin red free! I'm seriously in love with ZENMED and the fact there products are naturally based.

ZENMED is perfect for my daily life, being at home with the kids, running errands out at the park. It is so versatile, light and easy on your skin.I hope you try ZENMED and let me know how you like it!
