Pumpkin Day 7!

  I have experimented twice with my own recipes containing pumpkin today.  I am not going to count them until I get them passed through the children.  I made an attempt at ice cream and the other was popsicles.

  To blend pumpkin into spoonable goodness is a science. Nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, pumpkin pie spices and maybe ginger.  I know those can be added to the pumpkin mixture to make it better but I haven't gotten the right proportions figured out.  An apple uses the same spices but an apple also atleast starts out good so you can build on that.  Maybe by the end of the month I can build a nice pumpkin basic mix to build on! Until then I found a new recipe!

  These are like the no bake energy balls.  It has very few ingredients and all of the ingredients are natural and healthy.  This is so easy your kids could make it.  I did skip the powdered sugar coating as I didn't think my kids needed it.  I wanted it as a healthier snack but by all means I'm sure it tastes extra nice with it so you could try that as well.

  The end result is a perfect afternoon snack.  Bite size pumpkin balls!  This recipe took a minimal amount of pumpkin as well but you can taste it and it was good and the raisins added a nice component in the oatmeal mix.  Now with the last two items in the freezer I have officially used up this can!  On to the next can!

  Thanks for following my pumpkin challenge!

Today's recipe came from parenting.com.

Konjac Facial Sponge Review

  As a product reviewer when you have received a certain amount of products you eventually start to appreciate some items more than others.  All the items I get for review (and I do pay for some and ultimately with the purchase of Amazon Prime, I really have paid for items even if I didn't pay for that physical item) I do choose wisely.  I do not partake in everything that is available but only things of interest or that I can use in the future in some way or another.  I like bath products, lotions, sprays, nail polish and other grooming items to list one of the groups I select to review from.

  I do not wear a lot of makeup which also means I certainly do not wear it often but I do however wash my face on a regular basis.  I wash my face like I brush my teeth.  Twice a day in the am and in the pm.  I like to start the day with a fresh face and close the evening out with a fresh face.  I was lucky to be able to receive a Konjac Sponge.

 Look at all those pores.  This is the sponge dry.

This is the sponge wet.  You can see that the texture has changet slightly.  This is the softest sponge I have ever felt when it is wet.

  Konjac in case you are not familiar with is a plant from China.  The fibers hold water on the surface and doesn't even come into direct contact with  skin.  It is the smoothest feeling gliding over your skin.  This sponge  also included a bamboo charcoal combination.  The combination of all these ingredients assist in the removal of access oils, exfoliates skin and aids in the prevention of acne.  Those are just some of the benefits of the Konjac Sponge Bamboo Charcoal Facial Sponge!

The facts of 100% natural, 100% color free and biodegradable are just an extra bonus!   I received this product for review purposes and all views are my own.
