 Dr. Oz reported "studies have found that krill oil may work faster and more intensively than other sources of Omega-3s"

 My thoughts

  
I take vitamins and supplements for my health. I would try to take fish oil, but those pills are so huge. Then I heard about krill oil. I instantly loved the fact that the vitamins were smaller and is more potent than fish oil.

After using krill oil supplements for several weeks, I am a huge fan of them! They are really easy to swallow, and I feel great. I have some health problems that requires me to take fish oil. Anyways, I feel like I have more energy and a healthier heart.

 I liked the fact that I didn't taste fish in my mouth. The only smell of  fish I got is a slight smell when you open the bottle. But other than that, these pills are awesome. I'm definitely going to be using krill oil as a regular supplement for my health!

My thoughts

I have fine hair, and I try really hard to make sure my hair looks healthy. So I was really excited to try this new hair treatment by InstaNatural. The great thing about this blend of argan oil is that it is suitable for all hair types! The oil can be used for a ten-minute, two-hour, or overnight hair repair treatment. You apply as much as needed. InstaNatural recommends shampooing your hair after the treatment.

I decided it would be easier for me to do an overnight hair repair treatment. I sprayed the oil two times into my hand and gently massaged the oil onto my scalp and on my ends. The oil has a very light and faint smell. I found the smell pleasant because I don't like strong smells. In the morning, I washed my hair. I could tell that my hair felt smoother and looked healthier.

Even my husband noticed how my hair looked different and I didn't even have to ask him! I do an overnight treatment about two times a week for the last several weeks, and I have really seen a big change in my hair. My hair doesn't look as damaged and it looks so vibrant! I definitely recommend trying this product out.

What Are You Waiting For Review & Giveaway

                                                      

About the book

Foreword by Jack Canfield, co-author of Chicken Soup for the SoulISBN: 978-1-936740-52-9
Trade Paper, $15.95
5” x 7”, 310 pages

After losing her dream home and all her worldly possessions to a raging and sudden wildfire that killed three people and demolished 21 homes, Kristen Moeller dove headfirst into an exploration of our cultural discomfort with grief, the existence of God, finding humor in the midst of tragedy—and what it means to be a human being with all our fabulousness as well as frailties. Through the sharing of authentic personal stories and profound life lessons, Kristen Moeller explores our pervasive human tendency to wait for life and to look outside ourselves for answers in her new book What Are You Waiting For? We don’t try; we give up. We sell out and we forget who we are. We are afraid to succeed, afraid to fail, and afraid to say we are afraid. But as Wayne Gretzky said, “You'll always miss one-hundred percent of the shots you don't take!” Kristen Moeller's mission in life is to inspire you to get on the path, move forward and take the shot.

The time has come to stop waiting for the world to make sense. The time has come to stop waiting for life to slow down and things to settle out. The time has come to live our lives anyway—in the face of waiting, of massive upheaval, as well as everyday stumbling blocks. If this really is (and I will borrow the profound words of Mary Oliver) our “one wild precious life,” what are we doing about that? Will we live in fear of the other shoe dropping? Or will we go forth anyway, into the unknown, embracing the uncertain and reveling in the wildness of the in-between?”—Kristen Moeller, from the introduction

My thoughts

When I first got this book, I thought it was going to be just another book on how to reach your dreams and/or get your dream job. However, I was mistaken! It was about not allowing life to pass you by simply because you are waiting for that "perfect moment". To me, I found the book to be about finding your purpose in life and learning to make the most of what life has to offer you.

I have to say that this book came at a good time in my life. I have been stuck in a this place where I just didn't know what to do so I just kept doing what I was doing day after day. Thankfully, this book helped point out some things that I really needed to hear.

The book goes through lots of different "waiting scenarios" such as waiting for love, waiting for yourself, waiting until you are absolutely certain, waiting for God, etc. The author, Kristen Moeller, puts in a lot of "gentle knocks" throughout the chapter and and at the end of the chapter in order to get you to take a moment and think about some questions. The questions are really good and help you pinpoint what might be bothering you or things that you need to work on.

This is a great book to help you realize to stop waiting and to start living!

Howling Horn Fluffy Summer 1,000 Fan Extravaganza!

We've reached 1000 Facebook fans! To celebrate, we've put together a small giveaway featuring some of our favorite brands (including a self sponsored item that happens to be really pretty and very hard to find!).

Want to know what the prizes are? I've been dying to share them for awhile now:

First, the lovely owner (and inventor) at Bobee (remember these adorable whales?!) has offered her equally adorable Elephant decals to brighten up any room:


Winner will get to choose their favorite color from the options available. I love these vinyls! They can be re-positioned but stay up so well (we have ours in our bathroom and they haven't budged a bit!), and the colors are so much more vibrant in person. Plus, Stacy, the owner, is so sweet and really easy to work with. I can't say enough good things about this company.

Second, is a One Size Hybrid Fitted Diaper from Beanpop. Beanpop is a new company to me, but we'll hopefully be doing a review soon and I can't wait to share this new find with you! I love the diapers in their shop, they are so cute!

New to the cloth diaper world? Have no idea what I'm talking about when I say "One Size Hybrid Fitted"? No worries, I swear "Cloth-Diapereses" should qualify as a foreign language. Essentially: One size means that it fits babies from about 7lbs-35 lbs (depending on the brand). Hybrid usually means that there's a hidden layer of poly fleece in the diaper. Fitted means that it's super absorbent and you won't have to add any inserts to it. They usually make splendid night-time diapers. Here's a great collection of introductory posts to the fluffy madness that is the cloth world.

Lastly, an AppleCheeks Bee Happy Swim Diaper in Size 1. First off, what's Applecheeks? A cloth diaper company with a reputation for wacky reveal parties for their new colors, women with huge hearts (the generosity of the faces behind this happy company is a astounding. Spend 5 minutes in their company sponsored chat group and you'll be moved to tears by the things that happen there every day), and a brand with a highly devoted following. Secondly, Bee Happy is an exclusive color of swim diaper they're only selling at MommyCon (review and giveaway coming soon for tickets to a local event of your choice!). Size 1 refers to their smallest diapers that fit from 7-20 lbs.
Picture stolen and altered from Applecheeks. I will happily remove pic if needed, I just didn't have any of my own... *Sheepish grin*

Why reusable swim diapers? Why not? They're cute, soft, and you don't have to keep wasting money on disposable ones. Seriously, buy one or two of these (in the event of a poop-splosion) and you're set for your babies swimming career until they're potty trained.

Giveaway runs from 6/27-7/11 @11:59 pm MST There will be one winner for each prize! Good Luck!







A New Chapter

I don't know where to start so I will start by saying what this post is actually about. I'm here to say that I will no longer be a blogger at the Howling Howl and how much I have appreciated everyone's support. This decision to step down from the blog was not an easy one. I really didn't want to do it because I have enjoyed sharing my preschool ideas, recipes, craft ideas, and family thoughts. However, life decided to present me with some major obstacles.

Why?

The minor obstacle I have been dealing with is my husband's work schedule. The job he has does a lot of mandatory overtime. And, I mean a lot. He works on average between 60 to 70 hours a week so that leaves very little time to do family activities and date nights.

We also own almost an acre of land so we have lots of yard work that has to be done. My husband does what he can, and then I do the rest because I hate having things in disarray. So I have been trying to balance blogging with raising a family and taking care of the home.

The major obstacle that I was dealt this year is one that will not go away. My precious little baby boy, Roo, was diagnosed with a rare disease. Roo has mastocytosis.

What is mastocytosis? Well, let me explain. Mastocytosis is when mast cells start to accumulate in the body's tissues. There are two types: 1) Cutaneous where the mast cells accumulate in the skin, and 2) Systemic where the mast cells accumulate in various tissues of the body. Cutaneous mastocytosis is the better one to have because systemic mastocytosis has more problems and can lead into cancer. Mast cells are part of the immune system and have histamine to regulate allergic reactions.

Roo has mast cells accumulating in his skin so he has lots of "spots" or lesions. When these spots get irritated, rubbed/scratched, the skin becomes red and the spots become like hives. If too many spots get irritated, then Roo can go into anaphylactic shock because all the mast cells mimic an allergic reaction even when no allergen is present. So we now carry two epi pens with us because we don't know when he could have trouble breathing, etc.

Symptoms vary with this disease but here are some: fatigue, nausea, abdominal discomfort/cramping, musculoskeletal pain, flushing, tachycardia, syncope, anaphylaxis, etc. I could go on for a while about this condition, but I feel that this sums it up without getting too technical.

Thankfully, I learned just a month ago that Roo has cutaneous mastocytosis. Roo will have to keep having blood work done every 6 months to a year to make sure his disease doesn't progress into systemic. Roo has struggled with sleeping until just about 2 months ago. I would be getting up with him about 6-8 times a night. Now, I get up with him 1-2 times a night because we have been able to help treat his pain and other symptoms.


What next?

Because I feel that I need to spend more time with my kids and spouse and take some time to refocus on what I want from life, I will be leaving the blog.

I will first take some time to relax. I haven't been able to truly relax all year so a much needed rest is in store. After my rest, I will be spending my time outside gardening. I really want to start up a compost pile so I'm going to learn how to compost really soon. I'm also making plans to make an herb garden and to expand the size of my current garden. I love my yard because I have plenty of grass for the kids to play on, berry patches (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries), a medium sized garden, fruit trees, a fish pond, chickens, and hopefully some bees soon. So don't worry about me, I will be plenty busy

My boys will continue to learn from me at home through our everyday activities. We are having so much fun going on walks to the local library and getting books. So far Monkey has only been picking out trains, trucks, and Curious George book. I'm okay with that because I want him to love books and pursue his interests.

We will also be enjoying the great outdoors by taking a road trip soon to explore the great sites my state has to offer. And, my family enjoys fishing so we will be going fishing several times a month. Like I mentioned several times before, my family needs some time with each other and just appreciate life. I'm so grateful for my husband and two boys!

You will probably hear from me every now and then with some book reviews or some guest posts. Again, thanks for all the support you have showed me! And I hope you will continue to support Hannah and this blog.

My thoughts

When my husband got home from work, I showed him that I was going to review some extension cords. He remarked, "They look like really solid cords." I laughed and told him that the extension cords were made by Solid Cordz. My husband loves his tools and electronic equipment (and so do my little boys!). So it is just not me that feels that these extension cords are super awesome!

I love how durable the cords are. I don't have to worry about them getting ruined over time because they are made of strong material. The two pack of 6 feet extension cords is extremely handy because I can combine them to get 12 feet. Now I don't have to unplug my vacuum when I move into each room. The cords have saved me so much time.

I also have used the cords to get some extra length to some outlets. I use my laptop to watch shows, and I like to watch them on the couch. However, my laptop cord isn't very long so I end up having to get extremely creative in order to get comfortable. Now I can quickly get comfortable for my favorite show because of solid cordz!

I love these cords, and I know you won't be disappointed in them when you get them too!

Wire Crochet Jewelry

I like jewelry, but I'm not in love with jewelry. I think the problem I have is that I have a number of sensitivities to metals so I end up being allergic to a lot of jewelry that you can buy at the store. And, I'm very thrifty and don't like to spend a lot of money on jewelry that gets worn every now and then.

However, I was intrigued when I heard about making your own jewelry so I decided to learn more about it. I was able to get information from Adriana Laura Mendez, creator of wire crochet jewelry. She provides ebooks and video tutorials on how to create your own handmade jewelry such as bracelets, rings, and necklaces. There are so many options!

I thought the idea of making my own jewelry sounded like so much fun. Adriana was nice and provided me some ebooks and video tutorials for free. And, I just couldn't resist sharing to my readers about what a fun craft project this is! You can also visit her Etsy shop and see what she has done!


About Adriana Laura Mendez 



Adriana Laura Mendez is a jewelry designer that has always been passionate about the world of fashion and jewelry. In 2005 she discovered wire croceht jewelry and started to design jewelry as a hobby until she perfected it. Three years later, along with her son Julian Oribe she decided to launch her own jewelry company of wire crochet jewelry. 

Adriana made hundreds of unique jewelry pieces. But the road has not been easy. As a self-taught she had to learn by trial and error to finally being able to learn and achieve wonderful results. Today, after 9 years of experience in the field of handmade jewelry she wants to teach you all the secrets so you can make your own handmade jewelry from home.

Alongside with his son and co-founder, Julian Oribe, they have created a series of ebook and video tutorials that will help you to learn wire crochet jewelry. Adriana's dream is to share her passion for jewelry with you and guide you in the process of creating beautiful handmade jewelry.

Adriana specializes in the field of crochet jewelry in which she develops the Peruvian point. After creating numerous collections of jewels, Adriana and Julian decided to expand the knowledge of the art of wire crochet jewelry by selling innovative Ebook and Video Tutorials.

My thoughts

I just have aren't those jewelry items so beautiful! I love looking at them because they are so pretty and unique. It is amazing what can be made using the wire crochet jewelry techniques. Wow!

I decided to first try making a bracelet. It is slow going because I have never crocheted before. However, I do find the ebooks and video tutorials very helpful. Adriana does an excellent job at showing the step by step process of how to make the jewelry, and I love how her ebooks are jammed pack with pictures. The pictures have been a huge help. I also like how she explains about the different type of wires, crochet techniques, and crochet needles.

I am able to start seeing some progress on my bracelet. Right now, I am practicing making the crochet loops because I want to have them down before I make my official bracelet. Hopefully in a few more weeks, I will have something to show. But, I just had to share what a fun project this is.

If you are interested, then click on the banner on the left hand side of the blog. We are doing an affiliated program with Adriana so some of the money earned from the sales will go to the blog. And, still in touch because we might be doing a giveaway where someone will have the chance to win a copy of one of the ebooks!
