Review of a Cala Pro Callus Remover

Today I am reviewing a Cala Pro Callus Remover. I finally decided to try one after my most recent pedicure. They use one each time and it gets my feet so soft. I purchased this one from Marshalls here locally for $6.99. I feel like it's a great deal to keep my feet smooth year round. I was not paid to write this review. I just wanted to share my experience with others. 



It's a stainless steel micro-file that says it leaves feet soft & silky smooth. 



 The handle is large and easy to hold on to, even with wet hands. I put liquid soap over the file and began moving it across my heels and on the sides of my feet. It's very easy to use and I didn't feel like I was going to cut myself. 



The file is not sharp but works well around the sides of your feet and toes. It's easy to clean and has a place to hang it up when it's not in use.





It has a plastic cover over the back to catch dead skin. It's removable and it's easy to clean.


I am highly satisfied with this product. I would suggest this to my friends and family. I found a similar one for sale at Amazon. I highly suggest you try it if you want smooth feet. It works wonders on dry Summer feet. It's a great way to keep your feet smooth in between pedicures. It removes dry skin quick and easily.

The importance of wearing a helmet.


Cute helmet from Amazon

I was recently reading a magazine cover while waiting in line at the grocery store. It had a picture of two celebrities riding bikes with their children. The children all had bicycle helmets on but the celebrity Mom and Dad did not. I started thinking, what would happen if the Mom was to fall off her bike and hit her head? What if the fall was really bad and she ended up in the hospital? I see this every day in my own neighborhood. Parents who insist that their children wear helmets but refuse to wear one themselves. I always make my children wear a helmet while riding a bike and I always wear one too. I think it's important to lead by example. Wearing a helmet while riding a bike is like wearing your seat belt while riding in a car. It's meant to protect you. Most importantly, it's protecting your brain from injury in the event that you fell and hit your head. I guess we have to ask ourselves, who will take care of my family if I am seriously injured? Is it worth the risk to not wear a helmet? I don't think so. Do you think it's important to wear a helmet while bike riding with your children?

A multi-sport helmet is a great option. This is great because you don't have to buy several different helmets if your children play in different activities. Amazon has the best deal on them. 



Don't forget to pick up on for yourself. They have a nice selection of helmets for Mom & Dad too.

What the heck is animal rennet and why is it in our cheese?

My daughter is a vegetarian and has been for many years. She is very aware of what she puts in her body. She is always reading the ingredients of everything I buy. A few months ago she started reading the ingredients of the cheese we bought from Costco. Underneath the ingredients, almost as a warning she read "Contains no animal rennet". Below is a picture of the back of the package. 



 

Okay ewwwww what's animal rennet I asked. We decided to Google it and below is what we found. 

The definition from Wikipedia

Rennet /ˈrɛnɨt/ is a complex of enzymes produced in any mammalian stomach, and is often used in the production of cheese. Rennet contains many enzymes, including a proteolytic enzyme (protease) that coagulates the milk, causing it to separate into solids (curds) and liquid (whey). They are also very important in the stomach of young mammals as they digest their mothers' milk. The active enzyme in rennet is called chymosin or rennin (EC 3.4.23.4) but there are also other important enzymes in it, e.g., pepsin and lipase. There are non-animal sources for rennet that are suitable for consumption by vegetarians.

I would not suggest looking into everything you eat if you have a weak stomach. The stuff that is added into our food is just gross. I think sometimes it's just better not knowing. 

What do you think about using animal rennet in our food?

High five Mom, you're doing great!


As a Mom you constantly feel like you are failing. Even when all the pieces are falling into place, you see it differently. We spend most of our time in the car driving from one practice to another. We make it home just in time to make dinner before the kids head off to bed. We are doing laundry while the noodles boil. We are checking homework as we watch the evening news. As if being a Mom wasn't hard enough, we are always going and going. This keeps us in a constant state of exhaustion, making it hard to see ourselves in a positive light. 



We are our worst critics. It's not until you can say "Hey I'm doing a great job" that you will find peace. As you will find, this is very hard to do. I'm here to tell you, you're doing fantastic. When you look in the mirror be sure to remind yourself of this. Being a Mom is one of the hardest jobs in the world. Yes, it's incredibly rewarding but it's also really hard. 



Next time you see another Mom in the store struggling with their children as they are throwing a fit, stop her and say something kind. Maybe share a quick story with her about when your child did the same thing or just give her a big smile to let her know that it's going to be okay. We have all been there and you know you feel judged. You feel like the only person on the planet who is dealing with that exact thing at that time. It would be so nice to look up and see an understanding face smiling at you. 



That would make me feel better. 



Mom's rule and if we join together we can change the world.
