If you’ve got my 7 DAY MEAL PLAN, you know that I am in LOVE with my Arctic Zero, and have to have it every night.
I eat this.. Every. Single. NIGHT. That is right. You can eat this and stay fit and healthy.
As you can see, Oaks loves it just as much as I do. He actually devours it.
So the trick is. Since there is no fat, or cream in these, the consistency is stiff when you pull it out of the freezer, so make sure you let it sit out of the freezer for 20 minutes before eating.
Cookie shake, brownie blast, and peanut butter cup, are my go to’s. I eat them with a scoop of Maranatha Peanut Butter, and 2 tablespoons of light whip.
Let me tell you.. it is SO good, and really helps with those late night cravings. This really has helped me not have those binge cravings.
Pomegranate, and Cake Batter are SO good together. I actually just tried them together tonight, with some light whip and was in heaven.
Sounds weird, but trust me.
You can also add some dark chocolate chips in some to spice it up.
Love Arctic Zero, it has helped me maintain my weight and helped me stay healthy and active. I am not a huge ice cream fan to be honest. The dairy makes my stomach hurt.
This is much like a creamy, icy yummy frozen dessert without all the guilt afterwards! Give it a try, my friends!
I wanted to share a few things that you must have for new babies, and what I have found that I actually needed.
The past year I have waisted so many things that I didn’t even use.
So I will share what I NEEDED 100%. And what is not needed… in my opinion.
First, the OWLET BABY MONITOR. Holy bananas. Saved my life from sleepless nights of worry and terror if he’s breathing or not. Read more about it HERE.
This is the last month they’re offering $25 off of it! So I would get it stat, if you need it or know of anyone having a baby.
Second, since I had the owlet, I just bought a $30 monitor, that I can just hear him from. I did have the Motorola monitor, (that was $300) but it broke after less than 6 months of use, so I do not recommend that thing to anyone.
The monitors that you can see and hear them, I still love, but I found that I didn’t need it since I had the Owlet.
Third, you don’t need a baby warmer. FOR THE LOVE.. you don’t need a warmer. Babies don’t know the difference between warm and cold wipe.
They’re new to this world. They don’t know, nor do they care. Promise.
Fourth, I have spent a ridiculous amount on baby shoes. None that he will even wear, so they sit and collect dust in his closet.
Don’t get me wrong, it was fun to buy him booties, but so far he will NOT wear them. He will just wear the Freshly Picked baby Mocs.
So, for me I would recommend investing in those. They’re so comfortable for them, and you would be surprised at how long they can wear them.
Oaks has been in 4’s for 3 months now and they still fit him.
Fifth, I have learned that Zara is the best and most affordable place to buy baby clothes.
Sixth, you do need a nice stroller, and carseat. I have the GB stroller, and love it. But I am sure most of you know that.
Seventh, the mamaroo swing. This thing saved my life the first 2 months. This is all he would sleep in at night.
Eighth, you just need pajamas and onsies for the first couple months of life. I honestly just like the jammies and GAP, & Old Navy.
Ninth, bottles, formula and breast pump.. of course. Oaks loved the Dr Brown Bottles. I breast fed, but it doesn’t hurt to have back up formula just in case.
I loved the Medela Breast Pump.Usually your insurance will cover the cost of it.
Last but not least, swaddling. This is something I really didn’t know how important it was. I bought a lot of those thin blankets for swaddling, but didn’t use any.
I would get the easy to swaddle ones. Trust me, you want something quick and easy, when your a first time mom and your baby is crying while you do it.
