Spring is here and I am so happy! I love the warmer weather and being able to get outside. Soon garden season will be here. Keep reading to discover some new products that are perfect for spring.
I am so glad that winter is over and spring weather is here. Now that the weather is warmer, I am outside more often. I got my hot tub ready for nighttime soaking sessions and I bought a backpack weed sprayer to kill all the weeds. We had a lot of rain this winter along with a couple of snowstorms so the weeds are starting to grow.
Once my weed sprayer arrives, I will make up a batch of my DIY natural weed spray. This 3 ingredient weed spray really works and kills the weeds in a day. Once all the weeds are gone, then I can start planning my garden. I can't wait for fresh greens from my garden, as my indoor garden doesn't produce enough for my daily vegetables.
I just returned from California from attending Expo West and that has helped me get back to running outside again. I don't run outside when the temperatures are cold as that bothers my asthma. California has a lower altitude than New Mexico, so I was able to run faster. After my trip, I returned to a pile of packages, of items that I ordered before I left for my trip. I am excited to tell you about some of the items that I received, so keep reading to learn more.

1. Grape Crush Anywear By Cherokee Footwear
Once spring weather arrives, I am outside in the backyard a lot! So I need a shoe that is easy to put on and take off. We don't wear shoes in the house and when I am working in my garden, I tend to go back and forth from indoors to outside.
So I need a shoe that I can step into and out of without having to sit down. So I ordered a pair of these pretty shoes. The color is called Grape Crush and they are so comfortable. I like that they are washable. That way I can wear them while I work in my garden. These shoes are also perfect for running errands and getting the mail.

3. Alpha Essential Renewal Lotion
I decided to try a new face lotion this month. The one that I was using was on the pricey side and the fragrance was annoying me. So I decided to try Alpha Skin Care Essential Renewal Lotion. I like that this lotion is made with natural ingredients and is fragrance-free. The price of this anti-aging lotion was also something that I liked.
This lotion contains 10% Glycolic Alpha Hydroxy Acid which lifts away the dead skin cells so new healthy skin can emerge. This skin renewal process helps to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. I like how this lotion absorbs quickly into my skin. After using this lotion for a week my skin feels so soft.

Pringles came out with some new potato chips that are made with sweet potatoes. So I decided to have my boys try them. These chips have a smoky BBQ taste and my boys enjoyed them. I was unable to try them as they have wheat in them.

Spring may be here but the colds are still going around. My husband just got over a cold that was going around the office. Thankfully, I was in California while he was sick, so I did not catch his cold. I also made sure to take plenty of elderberry while I was traveling.
Once I got back from California, I needed to buy more elderberry. My boys like the taste of these Nature’s Way Sambucus gummies. These elderberry gummies also contain vitamin C and zinc for extra immune support. I like that one can take elderberry every day for immune health.
