Go VoxBox + The Next Step Fit N Full review



VoxBox
As part of the Influenster network, I was sent the VoxBox. The VoxBox contained: ProFoot pedi-rock and sole inserts, BlueDiamond Blueberry almonds, aqua spa bath salts, The Vitamin Shoppee's The Next Step shake samples (3), the Jaxx Shaker cup, and tampons.
I was sent The Next Step shakes in my VoxBox and instantly thought, great.
I was really hesitant to try the shake, but I decided to go for it. I was pleasantly surprised by the product. The texture was smooth and not chalky. It was a delish flavor that wasn't too overpowering like most shakes. Not only was the flavor great, but it has so many vitamins that I felt great after without a nasty after taste.Typically, I avoid shakes because I have a sensitive stomach, but these were light and smooth on my stomach as well!
My favorite part was the Jaxx container to break up all the powder and really mix the shake. 

The ProFoot pedi-rock and sole inserts were great. The pedi-rock is like a pumice rock that's soft and squishy to touch. You can literally squeeze this thing. I used it on my foot dry and it didn't hurt. It left my foot soft!

If you need an addiction in your life, grab some Blue Diamond Blueberry Almonds. The taste is amazing! The blueberry flavor tastes like an actual blueberry, but has the almond crunch that is a killer combo!

Infertility on Mother's Day

Infertility on Mother's Day has been the sum of the last three years Mother's Day.

It's a day of celebration of those who raised us and took care of us along the way.
I love my mom and those who are mom's in my life that surround me, yet on this day I have a heavy heart.

What does it mean to be a mother? I would say someone who would give anything for you, for a child is pretty damn close to a defining summary of mother-istic qualities. That is something I, and my TTC sisters, have.

I would give anything for a child.
I've miscarried, does that make me a mother?
I've put my mind, body, and soul through the ringer for the chance to have a child--does that qualify me?

The resume of things I've done, am willing to do, and would do for a child grows daily.
My resume is likely longer than most mother's out there, yet they still have the title that I covet: Mother.
