Yogi Clothing Review

Yogi Clothing is a company that sells all different types of clothing for yoga lovers. I was able to pick two items for my review and chose the following:  Yogi Clothing Dip Rain Wash Maxi Dress and the Yogi Clothing Double Layered Cardigan.
I absolutely love both of these pieces! They are so soft and comfortable. I have worn the maxi dress twice now and think that it is perfect for summer. I wore it when I had my family over for dinner for a BBQ one night and to work for a luau party. The dress was perfectly long enough for my 5'6" frame.

The material feels like very good quality and does not get too hot on hot summer days. My favorite part is the back of the dress that gathers in the back. This is only my second maxi dress ever and I was nervous to see if I would like it and I can honestly say that I love it!


The cardigan is different than any other that I have had in the past. It is very loose which is fun for these summer nights where it is slightly cooling off but is not too cold. It has two layers- the sweater material on top and a thin long sleeved t-shirt underneath. This sweater is very cozy!

I was highly impressed with this brand and would definitely recommend any of their clothing.

Life Lately

Life is busy right now in the best of ways. I realized that I have not done any life updates recently and thought that I would share with you what has been happening in my life that last couple of months.

Back in April, Troy and I celebrated being together for 6 years! We went out for a nice dinner and then met my cousin out for a couple of drinks.


We finally re-did our red room. It was awful but we didn't really know what to do with it since the walls are brick. We ended up painting it a warm, light tan. My husband and are so happy with how it turned out. Check out the before and after pictures.

Also, after these pictures were taken, the red carpet was removed and we got a really nice light chocolate color put in by my husband's friend. We love it!


We went to my brother's last track meet. He has been running since 4th grade and just finished college.

He did great and got 4th place overall in the 5k.

The following weekend, my brother and his girlfriend graduated from University of Detroit Mercy. Olivia is a nurse and Edwin has his bachelor's in biochemistry. Edwin is starting optometry school in the fall!!!
Also, the newest huge news in my family is that Edwin got engaged!!!!!!! Now they have a big wedding to plan which will be lots of fun.

Wow, looking back at all of this, I realize that this last month has been crazy but I love it.

Mombo for Moms

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

I am not a mom yet but I have heard great things about the mombo nursing pillow. My friend that had a baby a couple of years ago used it and loved it. When I held her baby, I used the mombo™ and thought that it made holding a baby much easier.

What mombo™ is is a pillow that you can use to hold and nurse your baby. There is two different sides on it including the soft side and the firm side. The soft size is cozy to lounge and do tummy time for your baby. The firm side is best for nursing your baby. To help soothe your baby, the pillow has a vibration feature so you to help get your baby to sleep. These come in a variety of colors and styles so there are plenty of options to fit in with your regular decor.

When I have children of my own, I definitely plan on getting one of these. I never realized how heavy it could be to hold a baby for so long! Using one of these products are very helpful. I like that you can use it to put around your body to hold the baby or use it as a pillow for baby.

These products are available both at Toys R Us and Babies R Us. Feel free to check out the other products that this company has to offer to help out both you and your baby.

Lesser Evil Review

Lesser Evil is a company that makes snacks that are healthier for you than many traditional snacks. I was sent their chia crisps to try which are made with black beans. I was sent a variety of some unique flavors including dill pickle, feta and black olive, jalapeno white cheddar and southern barbecue.

My family was over for dinner when I opened this package. We were sitting around talking and they wanted to try these chips. We ended up opening the dill pickle and the jalapeno white cheddar chips.

Everyone in my family enjoyed the jalapeno white cheddar. These are crispy like chips but are lower in calories and fat. One serving which is 22 crisps is only 110 calories! They contain 3.5 grams of fat, 3 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein and 250 milligrams of sodium. Compared to traditional chips, these are a good choice.
My sister Natalie trying the crisps.

The crisps have a very similar texture to rice cakes. I enjoyed the dill pickle flavor more which was more like sour cream and dill to me. My dad did not like this flavor much.

Besides the chia crisps, this company also sells krinkle sticks, chia pop and kettlecorn. For salty snack options that are healthier than others, check out Lesser Evil.
