Review: Vita Sciences Maxasorb B12 Vitamin B12 Cream

Hello lovelies!

It's been a while since I did a review that wasn't a book review and I've been meaning to get back into them for a while now. So today's the day I bring you a review on the Vita Sciences Maxasorb B12 Vitamin B12 Cream.

 

I have a weak immune system so I have to take a lot of vitamins, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Iron, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and B12 are just a few I take on daily basis. So when I got the opportunity to try this B12 Cream I jumped at it!

At first I was skeptical, I didn't think it was going to do anything for me because I inherited my low B12 levels from my mom. However, once I received the product I knew immediately that this was going to be something that I'm going to be repurchasing for years to come!

As I mentioned my mom also suffers from low B12 levels, she's been taking shots and pills for over 10 years with no results. So after I tried this for two days, I made her try it too! She LOVES it, she even took pictures of the bottle and told her boss and coworkers about it

You can apply this cream anywhere, but I decided to use it on my hands like a lotion because I have eczema and I wanted to see if it really would help with that like the company claims. I haven't noticed a huge difference, but my skin is definitely softer in those areas, so I can't wait to see what happens as I continue to use it.

I really like that this product is hypo-allergenic and it doesn't have a strong scent. I have super sensitive skin and it gets irritated easily so I try to stay away from fragrance. Another plus is that it's anti-aging!

Overall, my experience with the Vita Sciences Maxasorb B12 Vitmain B12 Cream was great! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who suffers from low B12 levels, in fact I think I'm going to take the bottle with me to show my doctor at my next appointment.

I love that I can get my B12 now without pills, shots, or drops! Two pumps and I'm good to go for the day!

So what do you think about vitamin creams? Will you be giving this a try?

April Playlist

Hello lovelies!

I hope you all had a great weekend, I spent the weekend catching up on some much needed sleep!

Today I have for you my monthly playlist, normally I would make a picture for this, but I don't think this months playlist is worthy of it. Honestly I'm in a music slump at the moment, all of my favorite musicians are due to release new albums this year so I'm stuck with old music.

I don't mind listening to old music, I just wish I had some new music to listen  to. If you have any recommendations on any new artists that you think I should check out please let me know in the comments.

Anyway, here's this months playlist!

Nelly Furtado - Try

Taylor Swift - Untouchable

Demi Lovato - Believe In Me

Big & Rich - Lost In This Moment

Will Chase - If I Drink This Beer

Ellie Goulding - Beating Heart

Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do

Lonestar - Amazed

My favorite song of the month was probably If I Drink this beer, I first heard the song last month on Nashville and I fell in love!

What have you been listening to this month? Let me know below and don't forget to leave your music recommendations!

Lori

I'm 18, Now What? College? Gap Year?

Hello lovelies!

As some of you may know my 18th birthday was on March 13th and since then I've been thinking a lot. I'm an adult now, but I don't feel any different. 

I've been thinking over the past few weeks about what I want to do with my life, and honestly I have no freaking idea what I want to do!

Do I want to go to college this year? Or Should I take a gap year?

The problem isn't that I don't want to go to college, I do, but I don't want to settle and go somewhere that I'm not going to be happy at.  I only applied to four colleges, and I'm only seriously considering two of them, one I've been accepted to, and one I'm still waiting to hear back from.

Here's what really got me thinking, I got my financial aid package for the college I've been accepted to a few weeks ago and it looks like for freshman year alone I'm going to have to take out a $15,000 loan just to attend. Next year will be worse because my mom just re-married. I don't want to be in debt for the rest of my life, and if I attend that college by the time I graduate I'll be over $50,000 in debt. I don't like that and since I'm thinking about going to Graduate school or Medical school after getting my bachelor's it makes the decision harder.

So what's the plan?

I'm thinking about taking a gap semester or gap year to get my finances in check and once I do I'm going to move to Nashville, Tennessee. Once I get there I'll spend a few months working and then enroll in college. If I get rejected from Belmont University, then I plan on applying to Nashville State Community College, it'll be cheaper and then later on I can transfer to a bigger school.

My other option is staying in my hometown for a year or two, attend the local community college, save some money, and then transfer out of state. However, I really don't want to do that, I want to be in Nashville, I've known for years that that's where I want to be and I want to make that happen.

Honestly I don't know what's going to happen right now, I can't predict the future and there's nothing more I can do to convince Belmont to accept me. I just have to wait and see what happens. I have to let go and let God, it truly is up to Him at this point.

So my questions is, I'm 18, now what?

Lori
