Theraplex sent me some skin products to try– normally I am hesitant to try new skin products. I have terribly sensitive skin, everything makes my skin blotchy or break out, but I was told these products are dermatologist recommended and accepted by the National Eczema Association, so I was definitely more on board to give them a try.

Explore Cuisine Plant Based Protein Pasta/Spaghetti
Pasta is definitely a fan favorite- versatile, comforting, and well…delicious.

CideRoad Spritzel Switchel drink
Ummm… what is Switchel? According to wiki (I know, don’t do research with wikipedia, I’m letting down all of my professors right now, blah blah blah) – it’s a drink that is made from water and vinegar, and then seasoned with ginger, and then sweetened. So in comes CideRoad, who sent me a pack of “Spritzel”, which I am assuming […]

Expression Med Adhesives for CGM G5
OKAY! We all know Type 1 Diabetes bites the big one in terms of autoimmune diseases. There is no sugar coating it, it stinks. All of it.
