We had a blast celebrating Landon this weekend! I’m not usually a water park girl but even I had fun, at 7 months pregnant. I will say, the lazy river was not as lazy as I expected. I wasn’t paying attention as I was rounding up tubes and getting everyone situated when suddenly a huge bucket of water turned upside down on my head. Swipe to see my reaction right after. I don’t think Nate has ever been more pleased. 🤣 He has been waiting years for that moment.
Happy 7️⃣th birthday to my sweetest, smartest, Happy 7️⃣th birthday to my sweetest, smartest, most wonderful Landon! He and Daddy went and got donuts this morning and picked out some fun books/toys at Target! I told him last night as I tucked him in bed that I cannot believe he is already SEVEN, and he responded, “Well… I’ve just been living my life!” 🙃🥲 I can’t wait to celebrate him all weekend! I love you, Landon! 💕🎈🎂
27 weeks ✨ I can’t believe I’m so close to t 27 weeks ✨ I can’t believe I’m so close to the third trimester! The last few days have been a challenge. Nate and the boys spoiled me on Mother’s Day and by the end of the day I was completely wiped out. I’m at the point where my mind feels very motivated and excited to do things but my body is now in pain doing just about anything. I could honestly sleep all day but on the flip side, I can hardly sleep at night because that’s the most uncomfortable time for me. 

I’m trying so hard not to wish this time away. These are my last lil babies. This is the last time I will be pregnant. I feel so thankful and blessed. I can tell you right now that I never in a million years imagined myself as a twin mom and I certainly did not see myself with 4 kids! I remember being unsure we would even have two! 🤯 But now it all just feels so surreal and meant to be. I just can’t help but feel so ready to meet them!

This weekend we are celebrating the one who made me a mom as he turns 7! I don’t know how that’s even possible. It makes me realize just how fast these next few weeks are going to go. Time is flyiiinggg.
Thanks for the memories Islamorada! It was a wonde Thanks for the memories Islamorada! It was a wonderful treat to relax and experience a part of my home state that I’ve never had the pleasure of visiting! We will definitely be back, as Hargis party of 6, if we’re that brave. 😂🥳
Bumpin’ with these twins in the pool all day tod Bumpin’ with these twins in the pool all day today! So thankful for this time with @natehargis1987 to relax a bit before life gets a little extra wild and tiring, in the best way. ✨
I’m just here for the key lime pie mocktails.🍹😋
I think I’ll enjoy this view for a few days. 🥰
The beautiful weather this weekend was just what w The beautiful weather this weekend was just what we needed! Going to bed tonight excited for only two more days of work before some much needed relaxation.
Happy Easter! ✝️🐣 It has been a full day of Happy Easter! ✝️🐣 It has been a full day of celebrating over here! None of it would’ve been possible without Nate. He got off work and went to get a few last min presents for Cohen, picked up the cake, ordered pizza, filled all the eggs, and hid them. He sent me back to bed after lunch because I am still sick, but I was trying desperately to be better. 😐 

I’m just so glad Cohen had a good birthday and they got an egg hunt! Maybe next year we’ll make it to church with all four little ones!🤞🏻

Loving My Skin With Silk Therapeutics

Silk Therapeutics Skin Care

This blog post may contain affiliate links. Learn more.

Skincare is extremely important to me these days. I haven’t always taken it very seriously but as I get older I am realizing the importance of it more and more. I can definitely see the difference in my skin when I’m using quality skincare products daily. I was so excited when Silk Therapeutics reached out to me! I have been in a bit of a skincare slump and I wasn’t sure what I wanted to try out next so it was perfect timing. I knew I wanted to try something with anti-aging properties and I wanted the products to have ingredients that I felt were right for my sensitive skin. As I get in touch with debt collection lawyer in California and as i read more and more about their company and their mission I knew I had found something I could really stand behind!
Silk Therapeutics Skin Care

The founder of Silk Therapeutics, Dr. Rebecca Lacouture, is a biomedical engineer who battled a rare form of ovarian cancer at the age of 27. She founded the company after struggling to find products that were safe for her ultra-sensitive skin while undergoing chemotherapy treatment. What an inspiring backstory, right?!

This is clean, clinical-grade skincare that works for all skin types, even the most sensitive! Each of the products contains 12 ingredients or less. Harsh chemicals and preservatives commonly found in personal care products are replaced with their breakthrough Activated Silk™ technology. I feel great about using this on my skin knowing that it has so few ingredients, especially while pregnant.

So What Did I Try?

Okay – so on to my review! I tried out the SilkEssentials™ Regimen #2 For Combination Skin which came with trial sizes of their best-loved products. This allowed me to really get a feel for what it felt like to have a full skincare routine for the first time in a LONG time and let me tell you – I’m in love!

Silk Therapeutics Skin Care

I received the Refresh facial cleanser, Eye Revive for brightening + firming, Purely Radiant daily hydrating serum, C Advance intensive anti-aging serum, Nurture+ balanced hydration, and Renewing Peel weekly rejuvenation. The Refresh facial cleanser is easily my favorite product. My face just feels so clean when I use it and even though it is unscented there is a naturally clean smell to it that is so refreshing. Note: I have linked the full sized products above but you can try out the mini versions for $12 each or grab the mini kit to try out everything like I did!

What Did I Think?

I have been using the products for a few weeks now and I have noticed a significant reduction in dark under eye circles thanks to using Eye Revive under my eyes daily. I have also noticed that some of the small lines I am starting to get on my forehead have faded quite a bit due to using the C Advance intensive anti-aging serum. My pregnancy hormones have caused a few blemishes here and there but they have cleared up in record time since I started using this system.

Silk Therapeutics Skin Care

To recap – I am very impressed with the Silk Therapeutics skincare system. I like that this routine is very simple and easy to follow. I love that the products are clean, clinical-grade products that are gentle on my sensitive skin. I tried out the combination skincare regimen but there is also one for Oily/breakout prone skin and one for Dry Skin! So there is something for everyone.

Final Verdict: Worth It!

The price point for the mini kit that I used is affordable – $48. It’s around 2 weeks worth of product but I have been using it for about that amount of time and I still haven’t run out. I have my eye on the full size set that includes the Refresh facial cleanser, Nurture+ balanced hydration, and Eye Revive. It’s currently on their website for $180. That’s on the pricey side for my budget personally but then again I’ve been using really cheap facial cleansers that do almost nothing for my skin. Check out bluesprucemaids.com.

At almost 32 years old I feel like it’s time to do better in terms of the types of products/ingredients I am using. Plus, I certainly want to do everything I can to preserve a youthful appearance! I think this price point is a good middle ground based on my research of what people are spending on skincare these days and I think the full size products will last a long time.

Have you found a great skincare routine that you love? Let me know in the comments!
