Long Lasting Curls- Video Tutorial

A few months ago I attended a blog conference, SNAP! while at the conference I did my hair in wavy curls.  I was approached by several other blogger ans asked how I got my hair so curly and bouncy.  A lot of them thought it was natural.  But it is not!  My hair is as straight as it comes.  As a child my hair would not hold any curl.  no Curling Iron, hot rollers, perms nothing! I finally found  Caruso curlers in High school that would curl my hair and it would stay for most of the day.  But never 2 days.  So when I found my Evolution curling wand I was in heaven.  

My Favorite Canning Recipes and a Giveaway!

Are you a Prepper?  I totally am.  I love all things Preparedness! But let me make it clear, I am not a Zombie Apocalypse  Prepper.  The Zombies can take me of they want... I am the kind of prepper who   loves seeing my 72 Hour kits packed and ready,  My food shelves stocked with food, and learning new ways to use my shelf stable food or making my own shelf stable food. I'm Nerdy like that.

With canning season upon us I though it would be a great idea to share with you a round up of my favorite canning recipes. You can also check out my Pinterest boards for more links to canning, food storage and all things preparedness! Follow me if you would like and learn more about being prepared!

TruMoo & Strawberry Pudding Pops

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TruMoo for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Do you remember way back when you were a kid and Bill Cosby was telling us on TV to buy Pudding Pops?  I just loved those things.  They were the best creamy treat in the frozen food section! But alas one day they just disappeared, never return.  

I miss them.

So I decided I would make my own.  Only today I am adding a little twist to make them a bit more healthy. They make great after school snacks, or for mom after she sends them all out the door and can enjoy one all to herself!
