Easy Quicky Hearty Chicken Noodle Soup

It's 5:00pm and you're stuck in rush hour traffic. You're almost certain you won't make it on time to pick up your children from day care. By the time you all get home, you are too exhausted to even think of dinner much less make it. This scenario has happened to me more than once, and I'm sure a lot of working moms out there can relate to this as well. To avoid the temptation of simply sticking pizza in the oven and disrupt the well-balanced diet I'm trying so hard to instill into my children's lifestyle, I've created a quick and foolproof semi-homemade recipe for a Hearty Chicken Noodle and Vegetable Soup.


I have tried several versions of homemade Chicken Noodle Soup before and this one seems to be the easiest to make and healthiest version without sacrificing any of the flavors. Hope your family enjoys it as much as mine does!

SafSlim, Effective or Not?

The one time I tuned in to watch the Dr. Oz show was during an episode where Montel Williams made an appearance plugging this product called SafSlim. For those who missed the episode or have never heard of this product, it is a non-conventional weight loss supplement that specifically triggers stubborn belly fat.  Long story short, I was more than eager to run to the store and get my hands on this.

I have two kids, I hit the gym 4 to 5 days a week, and I try to stay away from the dessert table as if touching it would give me warts. But like most moms, or most women for that matter, I have that one stubborn area on my lower abdominal region.

Chapped No More

Having to battle the winter blues is bad enough, we have to battle dry skin and chapped lips too. I have yet to find a lotion that will leave my skin soft and smooth all day long (and I've tried a lot). However, I've found the magic stick that will help with the latter.  I'm talking about the Neutrogena Revitalizing Lip Balm. This awesome lip balm with its unique shape definitely does exactly what is says it would do. It quickly eliminates the cracked lip look and adds a hint of color to your lips. It also packs SPF20 to protect your lips and keep it looking healthy. It comes in six different shades to match every skin tone. Having this with you is like carrying around a Chapstick and a lipstick at the same time. It retails for $8.99 in most stores and less at others, a bit pricey for a lip balm. But if you think about it, with all that it offers, it is still cheaper to own a stick of Neutrogena Revitalizing Lip Balm than buying both a Chapstick and a lipstick to attain the same results. 

I use the Healthy Blush and Fresh Plum shades, and with my olive-toned skin, it looks great! My soft lightly tinted lips always get complimented and I'm sure yours will too. Give it a try and see the difference for yourself. 

No Knead To Do That

My aunt loves giving just-coz-i-want-to presents (which I love by the way), and recently she sent me a bread maker. My first thought upon seeing what was inside the box was, "this is going to the attic." This thing was a beast, it was like a toaster on steroids, and I seriously did not know what to do with it. I mean, who really makes their own bread at home anymore? I live not 5 minutes away from a Super Target and a gigantic Meijer that my bread selection is never scarce. However, my brief moment of idiocy quickly passed. The kids were taking their afternoon nap, I have an hour or two to spare, why not make me some bread. I lugged the bread maker to the kitchen and started gathering ingredients from the Google search I did just a few days ago for "Molasses Bread from Cheesecake Factory".
