Review: Breathe Right Strips.... lavender

We are probably like most households...
You might have an adult or child prone to allergies... or..
A spouse or even a child who snores. Gasp.... I'll give you a hint... it's not me!!!

A couple of my children do suffer from allergies or occasional hay fever. 

When we were approached to do a review of the new Lavender Breathe Right strips, of course, I said YES!!!

My hesitant husband was less thrilled, but he said he would try it.. to ease his wife's pain in the bedroom.

The first few nights I DID notice a big difference.  He was less congested and I would say his snoring was decreased by about 75%. That's HUGE!!!

Of course, the scent is very soothing and I think everyone who suffers from frequent congestion, allergies or in my opinion, even sleep issues in general... will love these!

I have not tried them myself but for my allergy prone children... they allowed for easier breathing and soothing aroma at bedtime.

They are flesh colored... but noticeable. .. sticky but not uncomfortable. 
My husband liked that they didn't leave a sticky residue and we're fairly comfortable.

We haven't noticed much difference over the last few days... but... my husband has been sleeping on his back and that's a HUGE issue when it comes to his snoring.

We will definitely continue to use the Breathe Right Strips and would highly recommend to everyone... especially if you are allergy prone or tend to get sick with head colds! I think they are perfect this time of the year! 

The best part... you can buy them relatively cheap, at your local stores. No need to hunt around for them!

Happy breathing and may your snorer feel better and get a more restful sleep!

The opinion in this review is just that. Our family was given a trial sample and we were not paid for our review or opinion! This is just our humble opinion on a great product!

Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-CHANGES....

WOW! Life has been so super busy and crazy and just plain NUTS that I have not even thought about posting in forever!
Then I see all my blogger friends, posting away... and I am reminded that I need to get my butt in gear and update y'all!

WOW!
Well, for those of you close to me, you already know about our HUGE move! For those of you that dont, here it is in a nutshell!

In November- December Noah and I started seriously talking about a move. A major move. We were looking to up-size in our current home ( we were outgrowing it) and we were not happy with the state of our financial affairs and job situations there in Massachusetts, nor were we happy with the way the school system and town was going... SO we decided to start looking into moving south. Like.. way way south! We originally started looking in Florida. We LOVE the St. Pete/ Tampa area BUT its touristy and too hot for our family.
So we started looking into Myrtle Beach and the Carolinas. We fell in love! ( you should know that while I had never been before, Noah used to own a property in Myrtle Beach so HE was familiar. Plus a ton of our friends vacation in Myrtle Beach every year and they raved about it!)

So... fast forward to February! Hubby and I hopped a plane for a 1 day trip down so he could attend some interviews and we could see some property. It was a glorious day, beautiful weather and beautiful areas to search out. We saw several homes, of which most we loved! His interviews went awesome and before we made it back to the airport at night, he had been given the jobs!

                                                  Boston to Myrtle Beach... 2 hours non stop. 

Fast forward to March. Noah had been settled in to a hotel ( courtesy of his employer) and was signing papers on our new house!

The kids love it because its a "castle" 

The kids and I managed to hold down the fort in Mass while daddy worked down in Myrtle Beach and enjoyed the sun while we dealt with cold, icy, freezing "spring".... he sent pictures often and we talked every day, several times a day. It was lonely though even with a house full of kids.It was very lonely for him as well. He was in this HUGE castle alone.... without any family. 

   This is the ice and "frost" we had in Mass in APRIL, while Noah was on the beach!

Fast forward to April and May when baseball was in full swing and daddy had to be briefed by phone and video calls. It was the first time in forever I was alone on the ball field and the first time Noah wasnt coaching. It was rough! 

                                                                 Asher- catchin'

Trev- Pitchin'

And... into the end of May, when Aaron got ready for Prom, packing was in full swing and living out of boxes was a way of life. Reality was setting in... we were moving. We were leaving our schools, friends, family, neighbors, coaches.... LIFE. But it was exciting!

                                                                                                          My family

  My grand- kitten Fluffy

 

                                                                          packing.....

Aaron- Senior Prom

Then the end of May..... 

Graduation and THE MOVE! 

It was tough! Emotional weekend, exciting and fun but tiring. 

Aaron graduated on a Friday night, truck was packed Friday during the day, all day Saturday, then after tearful goodbyes..... Noah, Aaron and Asher set out on their adventure.

Jo, Trevor, Joel and I went out for dinner with our family one last time and took our flight out of Logan bright and early ( 5am) Sunday morning. We arrived in our new paradise and a few hours later were joined by daddy and the boys!

My view most weekends....

Aaron, me and Joel on my birthday at the beach! Dream come true!!!

 So... here we are.. settled in nicely into our new home, our new lives.

I work for an amazing Vision Source practice literally 2 minutes from home with an unbelievable staff of women! Noah is close to home also... some days working out of our home in his home office.
The kids have started school and so far... so good. Jocelyn is taking drama classes ( and ROCKIN them!)

Since we have been gone, my sister has had a new baby boy, JACOB Malley and though I have yet to meet this little bundle, I get updated pics all the time! Kylie is doing well still working at Bugaboo ( but looking for bigger and better things!) and is living in Marlboro with her boyfriend of a year, Jared. She spends all day on Wednesdays usually with little Jacob.

So... all is well. We miss all our friends, family and "Northbridge" buddies. But Myrtle Beach is a beautiful place to visit... and we have a ton of room!!!
