Smiley 360 Mission BiPro Bold Protein

I was recently assigned to review BiPro Bold Protein powder for a Smiley360 Mission. This is good stuff. The first thing I did was stir it into my morning coffee, because that is the true test of any protein powder worth it's salt. No clumps, no lumps, it mixed in easily and tasted great. There is no chalky texture or aftertaste with this product.

There were some recipe cards included in the sample box, but I tried my own because some of them had flour. It bakes well, mixes well, I really don't see any downside to the product I tried.  

Pricewise it's pretty comparative to other quality protein powders I have found.

Black Joe Cake

I made this lovely memory of my childhood for our Community Thanksgiving Dinner next Tuesday  at the Haven. My Aunt Phyllis's recipe, I remember my mom making it for church potlucks and gatherings, and sometimes when company came to visit. Actually, I think I remember her just making it for no particular reason at all, just that it's good :). And it's pretty easy to put together.

As you can see, the recipe card is spotted and well-used. This is actually a picture Mom sent me of her card sitting on her counter :). And if you don't know what oleo is, it's just margarine :).  In fact, according to Merriam-Webster, it's actually short for oleomargarine and has been in use since 1884.

I just threw everything in a bowl and hand mixed it since I don't have a working electric mixer at the moment :). I greased the pan, poured in the mix, baked it for 35 minutes (I checked at 30 and it wasn't quite finished), then added the "pour-over". It's sitting on the counter resting for the moment, and I'll take it over to the church and get it into the fridge today since there are only a couple of days before it will be served.

I'm sure there are tweaks that could be made to make this healthier and more modern, but it's just good food, and so yummy as is. I hope you get a chance to make it soon, and when you do, enjoy!

I really like the Conti® Castile Olive Oil Sensitive Skin Bar. It made my skin feel soft without leaving a greasy after film.

As you can see in the photo, this is a well loved bar of soap!

Estroven Review for Smiley360

Okay, I have to tell you it's a little intimidating to talk about hot flashes and menopause on social media, but the itching is real :). And I figure there are other ladies out there who are suffering in silence too, because quite frankly, it's kind of personal...okay, it's really personal. But one of the stipulations for getting to try the product was to share about my experience, so I'm doing it.

And I have to tell you, this has worked for me. It does contain soy, and I have thyroid issues, so I'm careful to take it at the opposite end of the day from my thyroid medication so that it doesn't interact, but it has helped with the hot flashes, it has helped with the itching, it has helped with lots of things.

Summer Fun

We've done a lot this summer as a family.  One of our funnest activities was a family bike ride!

Supernatural Slayer by Devyn Janse

This is the third Devyn Janse book I've read, and I've really enjoyed them so far. Lots of action and interest, it keeps the pages turning and the brain moving throughout the story. Real characters, easily relatable.
