Hidden Lake Full Spectrum Hemp Extract

I have been in the process of trying out Hidden Lake LLC full spectrum hemp extracts in exchange for my honest opinion! The two flavors that I have tried are Peppermint 600mg and Cinnamon 1200mg. As a first time user and someone completely new to this I was unsure at first as to how to use this. Hence the reason we should ALWAYS read directions! My first thoughts were that I put a few drops into my drink.... but no it doesnt work that way. For my first few days I used one dropper under my tongue, only because this is something I had never tried so I wanted to start low. I started with the Peppermint flavor and like I stated in my first impressions post the taste caught me off guard. It is an earthy taste with the hint of mint. I found that after a few doses I got used to that earthy taste and found myself tasting more of the peppermint (same with the cinnamon). Just to give everyone a little insight about me, I suffer from anxiety and mood swings. I wasn't always like this. I honestly cant believe I'm telling yall this because it's something I dont talk about with anyone but my husband and mom, but in order to give my full review about this then I have to be honest about myself also. The anxiety started in 2014 when I was pregnant for our 1st child and well it just got worse over the years. While pregnant and even to this day I have huge anxiety when leaving our home. In a vehichle.... well let's just say when I'm riding passenger I will stay on my phone just to occupy me because if I'm looking around at the heavy traffic I start to freak out. I was NOT like this before, I was a road runner, always on the go. When driving, I'm so tense and the anxiety is still there. So why am I telling you all this? Because Hidden Lake Extracts have allowed me to overcome my anxiety. Before this, I would not drive in the city (Baton Rouge) let along go without my husband being with me. This week alone I've been to the city 3 times and it didnt bother me. I was stuck in heavy traffic and my anxiety was not nearly what I'm used to. I was fine. I was content, I wasnt afraid. Most importantly I wasnt obsessing over "omg what if someone side swipes me or what if I dont get to see my family again". I dont know how or why Hidden Lake Extracts have helped me with this but it has in so many ways that I cant explain. It has almost given me my life back. I wouldnt dare drive my husbands truck but, last week I went bring it for an alignment. Yesterday I took my husbands grandmother out of the rehabilitation center to go have lunch. It's the little things like this I can do again without all of the anxiety and worry that I've had before! I am more calm, I am me again. Now to talk about something that's more embarrassing than the anxiety is my mood swings... aka bipolar. Yes I have it. Yes I've NEVER SPOKE OUT ABOUT IT. It is something I've struggled with for as long as I can remember. Over the last few weeks my emotions, or should I say outrages have almost completely dissapeared. I havent had any serious mood flips, emotional outbreaks, or anger issues. I've been beyond calm which is almost unbelievable for me because for so long I've battled with this. When I say mood swings I mean like you look at me the wrong way or tell me something I dont like then I would go from 0 to 180 quick. I could be in the best of mood and it would only take 1 little thing to flip me.... everyday, any day. After upping the dose to 2 drops daily I'm what I would call normal. I'm not bothered by the little things, I'm not flipping over a misunderstanding and I'm not emotional all the time. For some. You may think I'm crazy but for me the problems were real. Episodes like this would affect not only me but my husband as well. I'm very thankful for Hidden Lake because it has helped me to conquer these episodes. I'm not saying I may never have another mood swing again. I'm saying it has helped me to be more calm and not react like I was doing before. Therefore, my impressions of Hidden Lake extracts have helped me in ways I never thought I could be helped. I dont think I would have ever been open about this to any of you if I wouldnt have come across Hidden Lake. Between the anxiety and the mood swings my life was a battle of always needing to find balance. I've found my balance with Hidden Lake, I found my calmness, and my strength to say it's okay to not be 100% but to not deny what I deal with.

EVLAS KITCHEN

Our little ones are enjoying their lunch using Evlas Kitchen products! Evlas Kitchen products are made of 100% food grade silicone and are dishwasher safe. This family owned business has your little ok nest best interest in mind! Today they are using the toddler plates and the bibs. Evlas Kitchen toddler plates are divided into 3 sections. They are thick and non skid so bumping them doesnt make them fall off of their table. As a mom, my favorite part is that my toddlers are wanting to wear the bibs🀣🀣.... why? Well my children tend to spill food everywhere!! Evlas Kitchen bibs will catch any food they spill making it easier for me to clean up!! Evlas Kitchen also has feeding bowls that come with lids on them. The best part about these are the suction cup at the bottom. They auction to the table or to the highchair. These bowls are also great for on the go. I can fill it with cheerios or fruit, pop the lid on and when my kids are ready for a snack I can pull it out and hand it to them. They are leak proof and the lids stay tightly in place. It is also perfect for storing homemade baby food in.... which our little 5 month old will be starting baby foods next month and I plan on using Evlas Kitchen products to help with that journey! Their little green silicon bowl is perfect for baby food and also has a suction cup on the bottom. Theri silicon spoons are the perfect size for tiny mouths but have a long enough handle for mom to grip! The large silicon plate fits on the high chair and stays put! It has 3 large sections. They also have reusable food pouches. I'm really excited about this because with our 1st two children I mostly used store bought baby foods. With Zaiden I am wanting to make my own baby foods so having reusable storage pouches will be perfect for that! Make sure to like and follow Evlas Kitchen on Facebook and check out their entire line at https://www.evlaskitchen.com I will continue to post our journey with Evlas Kitchen with our 3 little ones!!!

Hidden Lake Creams

I am beyond thrilled that I got to try Hidden Lake Frosted Forest Cream and Bergamot Clearwater Cream in exchange for my honest opinion. Hidden Lake creams are made from full spectrum hemp that consists of cannabinoids including CBD, CBC, CBG and CBN and are made with shea butter and essential oils. They come in glass jars of 300mg or 1400mg.      As most of you know the last month has been a rollercoaster for me due to all the problems I have been having with my gallbladder. Some days I can handle the pain better than others but majority of the time I have been balled up crying. The times where the pain is just in my abdomen is the times that I can tolerate it. It gets really bad when the pain would spread to my upper back. This is where Hidden Lake creams have come to my rescue. Every time I would start to feel that burning sensation start in my upper back I would have my husband rub one of their creams on it. I can honestly say Hidden Lake creams eased up my pain when it came to my back. Now keep in mind I have a serious problem that requires surgery so no it did not take away my pain.... it eases up the pain enough for me to tolerate it and get on with my day. Considering the type of pain I have been in, this is a huge relief for  me. I have also used it on my neck and shoulders when I felt tension and it helped so much and used it as a hand and elbow cream when my skin feels dry. Its extremely moisturizing, not greasy, and soaks into your skin leaving it smooth!     Beyond the relief that Hidden Lake creams has provided for me I'm absolutely in love with the scents. The aroma of the Bergamot Clearwater Cream is my favorite and reminds me of spring. The Frosted Forest Cream is a burst of the outdoors! Both creams aromas are amazing at helping you relax and feel calm.     Overall, my impressions of Hidden Lake Creams are outstanding. If they can ease up my pain on something that's causing me to have surgery then I can just imagine how well it's going to work for those long days when I just have a backache from chasing my kids around all day!

Hidden Lake

  I have had the amazing pleasure of trying out Hidden Lake products in exchange for my honest opinion. Hidden Lake is a full spectrum hemp extract company that was founded in 2018. Their products are made with naturally grown hemp from Choteau, Montana by a team of scientists and researchers. This company oversees the process from crop to production. Unlike many other companies, Hidden Lake believes in using the whole plant which is why there is an array of secondary cannabinoids in their products such as CBD, CBG, and CBC. Their products contain less than <0.3% THC.
   Today I will be talking to you about my first impressions about the six products I have received. These products include Hidden Lake Frosted Forest Cream, Bergamot Clearwater Cream, Happy Hills Mood Roller, Sleep Mountain Mood Roller, Peppermint Hemp Extract, and Cinnamon Hemp Extract. 
   Upon opening the Bergamot Clearwater Cream I found that it smells amazing! It's like a fresh scent of spring. The Frosted Forest Cream is an outdoorsy, woodsy type of scent that reminds me of being in the outdoors camping! Both creams smell amazing but if I had to choose one scent over the other I would go with Bergamot! Both creams are a light and when applied and rubbed in, it soaks into your skin with absolutely no greasy feeling. A little dab of cream goes a long way. 
    Hidden Lake Happy Hills Mood Roller has a sweet aroma of peppermint. It is not overpowering but pleasant. Sleepy Mountain Mood Roller has a calming and relaxing scent of lavender and chamomile. Upon trying both rollers I found that they roll on smoothly and leave no greasy feeling just like the creams. As soon as it is rolled on it soaks into your skin leaving only the aroma. Between these two scents I can not choose which one is my favorite because they both smell amazing. 
   Hidden Lake Peppermint Hemp Extract 600mg and Cinnamon Hemp Extract 1200mg both came in a 30 ML bottle that includes a dropper. It is dark and color and while I did smell both the peppermint and cinnamon, I also smelled an earthy aroma. This is because Hidden Lake uses a cold-pressed, organic hemp seed oil as their carrier oil which has other nutritional benefits outside of the extract. Now, this is my first time trying these so once again keep in mind this is my first impressions- upon tasting them both I did say yuck only because of the earthiness to it. I did however prefer the peppermint flavor over the cinnamon. After putting it under my tongue I started to get more of the peppermint and cinnamon over the earthy taste... meaning it wasn't like a hard to swallow gagging type of moment. It didn't leave an aftertaste which I surely thought it would due to its earthiness scent. 
   So now that you have gotten my 1st impressions keep watching the page for when I share the benefits of what Hidden Lakes products do for me. I am truly excited to try out these products!

Le Blanc

πŸ‘šπŸ‘•πŸ‘–πŸ§¦πŸ§₯🧀So I know most parents can relate when I say kids ruin clothes quicker than anything we've ever seen! Seriously! As a mom of 3 boys I have found that my boys go through clothes more than anything. No matter how many times I would
wash them or use stain removerson them their clothes always looks GRUNGY! Yep, I have tried everything from Tide to Oxiclean and more! Recently I have had the amazing pleasure of trying out Le Blanc laundry washes & I must say it's like NOTHING I've bought in the big box stores! Their Children's Wash is an allergen free fragrance that smells so good. It is 100% biodegradeable with a neutral pH and does not contain enzymes, Phosphates, Sulphates, or Caustics. It's a light scent that smells clean and fresh. My kids grungy clothes do not look grungy anymore... and I'm talking dirt, 🌱grass stained, πŸ•food stained your typical toddler boy clothes! They look amazing! Colors are brighter and their whites are whiter! For our 4 month old, his formula🍼🍼 (Similac) is yellowish in color and is always staining his white clothes but with Le Blanc Childrens Wash all formula is lifted from his outfits! When I say this stuff works I mean it WORKS! Moms of you haven't tried this on your little ones clothes then I highly reccomend you do! πŸ›ŒπŸ›Œ Le Blanc Linen Wash is one of the cleanest scents ever. I dont know about yall but when I get into bed there is nothing better than smelling clean fresh sheets! It is gentle in my sheets, table linens, and even on my curtains! It leaves them thoroughly clean and free from nightly sweat stains and even kid stains! Our kids bedding is paw patrol theme but it came with white sheets with blue paw prints well let's just say their sheets never looked clean before using Le Blanc on them! πŸ§₯Le Blanc Silk & Lingerie Wash is perfect for those delicate pieces of clothing such as wool, cashmere, silk, bamboo, and more. It is scented in a light Lavender that smells amazing! It is a gentle cleanser that does not take away from your clothing but yet preserves it's original form. It protects its elasticity. Every silk item I have has always gotten stained with every other detergent I have used! No matter what I did such, as running the water first, it seems I would always have a detergent stain. Le Blanc detergents are clear and do NOT stain your clothing or silks! πŸ›‹ And my latest obsession.... Le Blanc Linen Water!! I use this on EVERYTHING! I spray my furniture, curtains, mattresses, bedding, my area rug and more with this. It smells absolutely amazing! Normally I'm a Febreze fanatic but since getting this Linen Water it's all I use! It keeps my home smelling fresh, the scent lasts a very long time and it keeps my home smelling clean! This is by far one of my favorite products! Spray it on the coats that's been sitting in the closet or even when guests are coming over and all you have is that bedding that smells like the closet.... just spray it with Linen Wash and it smells like it just came out of the wash! πŸ’œLe blanc products have exceeded my expectations. As a mom I've always bought what I know and what I see on the shelf at Walmart or Target. I am beyond happy that I have found this company because their detergent works better than all of the big name brands that I have used previously! Made in the U.S.A. you can find Le Blanc detergents at www.linenwash.net

L'Kins Skincare

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯I want to welcome Long Islands Finest Skincare to Mommy Impressions!  For the last frw days I have had the amazing pleasure of trying out L'kins Skincare entire beauty line and I must say I'm in love with them! L'Kins Skincare was started in 2018 and specializes in natural and organic products. The owner of L'Kins, Eileen, in my opinion has excelled in creating skincare products for people with sensitive skin. My skin isn't overly sensitive but normally if I scrub my face and then apply different facial products I will always tend to have a slight breakout or redness. With L'Kins Skincare my results were healthier than ever. Here is what my nightly routine has consisted of:
   πŸ’₯ To start I used L'Kins Organic Sugar scrub which felt absolutely amazing using. The textured sugar scrub scrubbed my face clean but at the same time left it extremely smooth. It was extremley exfoliating and took away the few dry skin flakes from my forhead easily. I even used it on my lips which made my lips silky in the end. Unlike most sugar scrubs that I have used L'kins Sugar scrub was not greasy and came in a more solid form. 
πŸ’₯Next I used L'Kins Coconut & Honey Aloe Cleanser. This cleanser smells so good. It is a very light gel like feeling when you squirt it out but then it lathers extremely well. While cleansing my face it was not a heavy feeling like soaps. It leaves your face soft, clean, hydrated, light, and radiant. For this product, a little goes a long way! 1-2 squirt is enough to do my face! πŸ’œI then repeated the sugar scrub again some nights which normally scrubbing my face twice would have irritated my skin (redness and dry bumps) but not with these products!!! 
 πŸ’₯Next I apply the Hydrating Toner. This toner does not take much at all. 1 suit on a cotton ball and that was enough for my entire face. This toner is an amazing toner to wipe away dirt, debris, and any impurities throughout your day. It leaves your skin soft, hydrated, vibrant, and feeling soothed. 
πŸ’₯ Next up is their amazing Face and Neck Firming Lotion. This anti aging lotion will have your skin looking younger & more vibrant. It's silkiness leaves your face smooth and tightened. I have been using this day & night! It also works amazing as a primer before you apply your makeup!
πŸ’₯L'Kins Vitamin C Gel has been very useful for me! With 3 kids who keep me going day and night my eyes always look so tired. In just a few days use of this gel my eyes don't look tired, they don't look dark, & they don't look saggy or puffy! Instead my eyes look awake, the skin around my eyes looks smoother & vibrant. 
πŸ’₯To finish off my routine is L'Kins Organic Body lotion. This Body Lotion has an amazing scent... to me it has a citrus scent. It is a thick but light cream that moisturizes & leaves your skin extremely smooth! 
 πŸ’–πŸ’–Overall, L'kins Skincare is truly amazing for me! My skin feels amazing, looks more vibrant and healthy. For amazing QUALITY products L'kins Skincare is EXTREMELY affordable! Rejuvenate, hydrate, moisturize, exfoliate, & cleanse your skin with Long Islands Finest skincare!!!
