Summer is no joke down here is south Texas! It’s already been over the 100* mark a multitude of times. We can wake up and leave the house before the sun rises and you will still walk outside and start sweating. With 4 boys working up a sweat and quite a smell, you better believe I have a product in my corner doing its job to keep their clothes looking and smelling great.
Biz is a must have in my laundry room to help me tackle the sweat soaked clothing…have you ever smelt that “boy smell?” If you haven’t had the pleasure, consider yourself lucky!
Why Biz?
BIZ® was the first enzyme based pre-soak and color-safe bleach that moms have trusted to remove stains from the family’s laundry for more than 40 years. First invented in 1968 by Procter & Gamble researcher Charles McCarty, Biz was introduced nationally as a “pre-soak” or “color-safe bleach” and later re-positioned as a “detergent booster.”
I know using biz along with my detergent their clothes will come out fresh and clean the first time and get them back to sweating it up and enjoying their summer like kids should. At least they’ll be stain and stink free for a little while!
Biz is not only great for clothes, but it’s a must for around the home cleaning…

However, so many of us jump giddily head-first into the idea of self-care without stopping to think what it means. Self-care is more than just cosmetics and lattes, a new outfit or a night out with friends. Yes, those things are all essential to staying happy, but…if you aren’t looking after your physical self, the efforts to mend your mental self won’t go very far.
Women aren’t taking care of themselves. They aren’t taking care of their health. More specifically, they aren’t looking after their hearts.
Heart Disease is the leading killer of women in America. It has been the leading killer for years now, but the numbers aren’t dwindling. Why? Because women neglect their heart health. Women, who bare the brunt of domestic work, emotional labor and family stress, are carrying all of that inside them, and aren’t doing the work to alleviate that stress in the form of good diet, exercise and therapy. All of this strain goes straight to the heart, as it were. And then when big problems do arise, women often overlook them, assuming that chest pain is just another panic attack or a case of indigestion. Or, in some cases, fear keeps us away from the doctor: we’re afraid of what we’ll find, so we just keep working. The whole place will fall apart without us anyway, right?
But we can’t keep neglecting our heart health. Doctors have begun urging female patients to take steps to better their heart health, and to see doctors when there’s cause for concern. For cardiologists like Michael Seawell MD, a healthy heart starts with understanding how best to care for your physical health, and that understanding begins when you see a doctor who specializes in heart care. He believes that women should stop putting off their physical health and ignoring signs that there may be a problem. Dr. Seawell and his colleagues know that the best way to practice self-care is to make the necessary changes to your diet, exercise and mental health to ensure that your ticker keeps on ticking for years to come.
Of course, the nail polish and Netflix help, too.

What parent doesn’t feel like they are always on the go nowadays?! Some day’s it seems a little crazy, but you stop and look around and tell yourself, man, I wish I could have captured that! I do that all the time! At the beach, my sons first roller coaster ride, a day at the pool. I love taking pictures but with our fast paced life, stopping to take pics isn’t always an option & with everything else I have to carry, my bulky heavy cameras just are an extra I don’t need.
We were recently able to try out the new GoPro HERO4 Session and couldn’t wait to get out and try it…only after it arrived I thought about it…it’s our slow season…no beach to hit or pool to splash in (too cool). No more football practice…and it’s a few weeks until we go back to Sea World (we go this weekend). So what do we do to have a little fun? We go to the basketball court and try out all the options the GoPro HERO4 Session has to offer.
I was trying a bit around the house and was able to figure out how to switch between video, camera, and burst…I haven’t tried time lapse yet, however, that is totally on my to-do the next time we head to the beach…I might just have to go just to do this…
The GoPro HERO4 Session is 50% smaller and 40% lighter than other HERO4 cameras, & HERO4 Session is the most wearable and mountable GoPro ever. It has a sleek, versatile design and is at home anywhere—from the surf to the snow to hanging with friends. It delivers stunning video quality & captures high-resolution 1440p30 and 1080p60 video that’s sharp and lifelike. High frame rate 720p100 video enables exceptionally smooth slow-motion playback of your best moments.
You can also nail the shot with a variety of photo modes. Capture 8MP single photos, Time Lapse photos at set intervals from 0.5 to 60 seconds, and Burst photos at 10 frames per second. When it comes to versatile photo capture, HERO4 Session’s got you covered.
We had so much fun with the burst mode…the 10 frames per second make it so easy to capture the perfect shot! Of course I had to go out and buy a few accessories to go with the mounts it came with. I went and purchased the head strap and the handler (floatable hand grip). I mounted the GoPro HERO4 Session to the head strap and stuck it on my son, and had him head to the court to shoot a few.
While the HERO4 Session has 1 button shooting (2 buttons total for options and shooting) I found it much simpler to use using the phone app. I can turn on the GoPro HERO4 Session, select my options, shoot, and even share to Instagram. There is also a remote that I’m considering since it’s waterproof too..and well..my phone is not. It also is able to connect to your GoPro from up to 600′ away!
The GoPro HERO4 Session is a rugged and waterproof camera that you can take down to 33’ (10m) without a separate housing. Of course, you can purchase a waterproof housing for when your adventure takes you to even further depths. This GoPro HERO4 Session is compatible with all GoPro mounts! I love its light, convenient, ready-to-go design. It’s light enough to toss in my bag so I never miss a moment again! It’s the perfect travel accessory. I can’t wait to hook it to my son while he skateboards..and this weekend at Sea World on some roller coaster…or maybe finally get some shots of the fast moving penguins in their low light habitat. Follow me on Instagram and Facebook to follow our adventures!

Whether it’s video games, television or even smoking, there are lots of different habits that we get into which are generally perceived as unproductive and a complete waste of time. However, look past the negativity and you’ll find that each of those habits does have a productive silver lining behind it.
For instance, video games can be considered a social activity if you enjoy it with friends. Television can also be educational if you watch the right content. Even smoking can be considered something that offers you positive benefits, such as having a way to talk to others in the workplace during breaks or even having a way to calm yourself down after a stressful day. Of course, we obviously can’t ignore the health effects of something like smoking, and even video games to a lesser extent. However, we also can’t ignore that there’s a reason why we developed those bad habits in the first place.
Finding the root of your good and bad habits
Once you start to think about your bad habits in a positive light, you’re going to start looking at them differently. For instance, if the positives you get from smoking don’t outweigh the negatives, then it’s a good idea to look for a service such as a women’s addiction treatment center to help you recover from it. Once you start thinking about the possibilities and positives of quitting an addiction, you’ll be more motivated to do it.
However, you also need to balance this with your existing good habits. For instance, if you consider that your gym-going lifestyle is very healthy for your body, you also need to consider how much time it takes off your day and the opportunities that you miss from doing it. Yes, going to the gym is a far better positive habit than it is a negative one, but if you’re going every single day then you could be ruining your health in the long run by overworking your body. There are also other opportunities that you could use to get exercise and socialize, such as going for a job with a friend or working out at home with your partner instead of the gym.
In short, it’s important to consider both the positives and negatives of your good and bad habits and balance them accordingly.
