In this video I share if Amanda should break up with her boyfriend based on her concerns about it. Is she settling or is she being too picky? Watch! Email Me to Be Featured on My Advice Column!
Today, I am going to be sharing an unboxing from Oh Baby Boxes! They sent me this box to unbox with you! I am in the 3rd Trimester of my pregnancy, and I am currently 38 weeks!
I had so much fun with this unboxing. They sent me products that mamas can utilize in their third trimester! A lot of the items that I received were so fun for me because they are great for treating yourself.
Finding time as a mama to do anything for yourself can be extremely challenging. Add on the pregnancy fatigue and it is even more difficult. So I really appreciated the products that they sent. Many were natural products too which you know that I love.
So here’s the box! I love how they wrapped everything in tissue paper and included confetti. Eden and I had fun with that! I will share it later when I upload the video! I thought the box was very bright and colorful and it made me excited!

I found the magazine inside to be very helpful! It included all products that are inside the box, along with descriptions of each of them and a link where they could be purchased. I thought the mom on front was fun and empowering.
So this oil was the first product that I grabbed I really loved the packaging. It is Rose Gold Face Oil by Essential Rose. It is meant to moisturize, repair, and regenerate the skin naturally. I am excited to try it, but a bit nervous about how my sensitive skin might react.
So I think, I was probably suppose to open this one last, but it grabbed my attention as I was pulling things out of the box. So, I love these blocks. They would have been so helpful throughout my pregnancy keeping track of weeks because I had such a hard time with that. They will be super helpful when keeping up with Baby’s age going forward. They change from weeks to months to years and so on. I absolutely love these blocks, and I believe they are an Oh Baby Boxes exclusive
Truth be told, I don’t know how well these will work, but I think the idea is a good one. Bras are hard to come by when you have large boobs and are nursing. So any company trying to help mamas fit their bra deserves a chance.
So this one I am super excited about! I love the wooden spoon, and I think my belly will appreciate it right now and after I have the baby. Those stretch marks will have to fight haha. I love that this one is natural and It has a jelly like consistency. It should be fun to try, and I actually can see great use for it.
Another with natural ingredients! The fun thing about this one is it is a face-mask powder, and I think having a mask will really be rejuvenating for my skin.
So, this is a 30-day digital detox challenge. I think it should be interesting to try. I think it is great to unplug and get connected with the world around you. I love how they encourage you to try something you haven’t done before with that time. But let’s be honest, I am not unplugging for 30-days.
So, I have heard of this cupping or massaging of the face to naturally work on avoiding to getting rid of wrinkles. Ever since I turned 30, I have dealt been more concerned about this. I am actually excited to give this a try. It seems like a gentle method to take care of your face.
So this box had so many amazing self care items. I am excited to try them out. Have you all tried any of them? The amount of awesome products in here was surprising to me. It is a $99 value at only $39. Want to try your own?

In this relationship advice column video for women, I answer the question of a wife who says that her husband cheated on her, but she stayed. How should she handle this infidelity?
This video is a Bible Study for women. In this video we talk about following God’s plan for your life, and we begin telling the story of Abraham, part 2.
4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran. 5 He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there.
6 Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. 7 The Lord appeared to Abram and said, āTo your offspring[c] I will give this land.ā So he built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him.
8 From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord.
9 Then Abram set out and continued toward the Negev.
Abram in Egypt
10 Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe. 11 As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, āI know what a beautiful woman you are. 12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say, āThis is his wife.ā Then they will kill me but will let you live. 13 Say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake and my life will be spared because of you.ā
14 When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was a very beautiful woman. 15 And when Pharaohās officials saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into his palace. 16 He treated Abram well for her sake, and Abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, male and female servants, and camels.
17 But the Lord inflicted serious diseases on Pharaoh and his household because of Abramās wife Sarai. 18 So Pharaoh summoned Abram. āWhat have you done to me?ā he said. āWhy didnāt you tell me she was your wife? 19 Why did you say, āShe is my sister,ā so that I took her to be my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!ā 20 Then Pharaoh gave orders about Abram to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and everything he had.

Leslie writes about NSSI, Non Suicidal Self Injury:
Hi Chauntel,
I hear you can help girls like me like to stop cutting. Well, my problem is that I am cutting cuz my friend raped me.
Hi Leslie,
Wow, I am so very, very sorry to hear that. I cannot imagine how you feel. I do however, want you to share this with someone that you know and trust, so that you can receive the help and support that you need.
Sometimes, we hurt ourselves to try to ease the pain that others have caused us. What you will learn is that hurting yourself will not ease the pain that you feel from that terrible experience.
I want you to know that God loves you more than you can imagine, and what happened to you is not your fault. You need to report whoever did this to you, for you and for anyone else who might be hurt by this person in the future.
I also, want you to seek some professional help to deal with overcoming the pain that this experience is causing in your life.
To get you started, I want to tell you that turning to self injury is not the answer. It will not take back what happened to you.
What I want you to do is take the power back in your life. Replace this negative behavior with a positive one. This way, you overcome this situation instead of beating yourself up about it.
You need to find out what is triggering you; what is causing you to want to harm yourself. It probably has a lot to deal with not dealing with your feelings.
Turn away from cutting yourself and turn your action into loving yourself and finding that love for yourself again. Do not let this person lead your life. Allow God to lead it for God is love.
You are the only one who can make the change in your life. You cannot erase what happened to you, but you have the power to choose how you will overcome it. I believe in you, and I know that you are greater than this situation. Thank you for being the voice of so many other girls like you. You have great courage, but you were not meant to overcome this alone.
Please, get support and prayer for what you are going through. My community is praying with and for you. I will provide some resources below.
May God bless you, and please know that you are not alone. There are unfortunately others who have been raped and abused, and they have overcome it. You can too. Here is a story of a girl you may relate to. Her story is different, but her coping of cutting herself is the same:
Thanks so much for writing me, it means the world to me.
12 The Lord had said to Abram, āGo from your country, your people and your fatherās household to the land I will show you.
2 āI will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.[a] 3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.ā[b]
4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran. 5 He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there.
