My son wanted an Ezy Roller for his birthday, ever since he saw one at a toy store and he test-drove it. But I gave him no hope or a hint that he’d be getting it so you can imagine his excitement when he opened his birthday gift! My kids have been riding it every single day, all throughout the day, inside the house and outside the house since. They told me this is their favorite toy they’ve ever had.

I’ve suffered from migraines since I was 6 years old. My mom even took me to see various doctors to see if there was anything we could do and my mom even bought me a very expensive, special pillow to see if it would help. It didn’t. None of the doctors ever found anything wrong and in the almost 30 years I’ve suffered from migraines, I tried essential oils, drinking a ton of water, sleeping, but none of themworked so I just take medication whenever I felt it coming and planned on doing so for the rest of my life.

Then Zok Relief reached out to me and asked if I’d like to come in to see Dr. Hatch for a migraine curing device so I can share it with you. I highly doubted this so called device would really cure my migraines so I said why don’t you send me the device first and then I’ll try it out and see if it really works. Then I will see if I want to take the time to come meet with the doctor. They sent it to me several months ago and it just sat in my kitchen until about 1 1/2 months later when I actually got a migraine. Super skeptical and highly doubting that it would really work, I tried it thinking what have I got to lose? I puffed some air into my ear and then BOOM. It disappeared instantly. My migraine instantly went away! You should’ve seen my face, my eyes got really big and I looked at Zok and thought, “Whoa, what is this? WHAT IS THIS???” and then contacted them and said I’d like to meet with Dr. Hatch to find out what this device really is and why it works!

Dr. Hatch was so impressive to me and after seeing how honest and noble of a man he was, I love this product even more. Watch the 20 second video below to see how this device was invented. To view full size, click on the title of the video.

 

 

And here is an in-depth explanation of how our brain works and why the Zok works, explained by Dr. Hatch. To view full size, click on the title of the video.

 

And a simple instruction on how to use Zok. There are two different ways and it’s up to you which one. Dr. Hatch says he usually does the first method shown in the video, he deflates the device, then puts it inside the ear and then holds it there for 20 seconds.

 

 

Dr. Hatch said to use it on the side of the ear that hurts more, so if your right side is throbbing more, then use it on your right ear. Or do it on both if both are hurting! I have used it 3 times now over a period of several months and it has worked every time. My girls have had headaches and it’s worked for them every time as well. The first time I used it, the headache did come back a few hours later but it’s like that for me with medication as well. So you can use it again, and I make sure to drink lots of water and rest. I think the best case scenario is to take care of ourselves to prevent the migraines from coming in the first place, by making sure we get enough rest, meditate or drink plenty of water but if a migraine comes our way, the next best case scenario is to use Zok. Each of the times I’ve used it though, I did not have a throbbing, intense headache but it was only in the beginning stages so I can’t tell you from personal experience if it’ll work for a very intense headache/migraine. But Dr. Hatch has treated many patients with minor to severe migraines/headaches and has had a very high success rate. I think if it doesn’t get rid of it completely, even if it eases your pain while you’re waiting for the medication to kick in,  it’s worth the $22!

I asked Zok Relief if there was any way they could offer a discount for my lovely readers because I want every household to have it and they agreed on a discount! It’s regularly $29.99 but with my code: SARAH25 it is only $22 AND free shipping! This deal is for pre-orders and it’ll ship out in August. So go grab one before they ship it out and it won’t be free shipping anymore!

BUY IT HERE: Zok Relief and use code: SARAH25

 

And after you receive it, come back and tell me how much you love it! It really is a life changing device.

 

5 Ways to Help Your Kids to Love Reading

~ Etc.

 
 

This post is sponsored by Kindercare, a preschool I’ve been very impressed with. Thank you for supporting this blog!

 

 

Getting a high-quality education was one of the main reasons why my parents immigrated here from Korea when I was 2 years old. My dad came to get a Ph.D for himself and so that his children can receive a better education. So getting good grades and a good education was always instilled in our family.

 

When I became a mom, I knew I wanted to instill that same importance to them as well and one of the best ways I could think of was to make sure my kids learned to love reading. So since they were very little, I read them many books but I didn’t just read to them, but incorporated fun, creative ways to make reading really fun and exciting. Now my kids have a strong love for reading, and my oldest child reads so much and wants to read during family dinner or even when her friends come over to play that we are constantly telling her to put her book down!

 

Here are 5 ways I made reading fun and exciting.

 

 

1. If they’re too little to read by themselves, listen to an audio book! Harry Potter is our family favorite and my kids couldn’t wait to be able to read the book when we were done with the audio series. Road trips are a great time to listen to them so you can listen for a longer period of time without having to pause frequently.

 

2. Act out parts in the book! Not just with using an animated voice or switching voices for every character, if there’s a part about a bathtub, have everyone huddle up inside the tub to read. If it’s about tickling or hugging, tickle or hug them as you read those parts. If it mentions dancing, twirl around or have a silly dance party!

 

3. Incorporate yummy food into reading. If the book mentions pizza, have a family pizza night or have them make their own pizzas. If it mentions popsicles, stop the book and have everyone run to the freezer to grab a popsicle so they can eat it while you resume reading. Food always makes everything more fun!

 

4. Read in a special setting. If it’s during Halloween, read a scary book in the dark with a flashlight, under the covers or in a hiding place. Go to a beautiful park and sit under the tree in the shade to read while sitting on a blanket.

 

5. Go to the library and have them pick out their own books. Don’t limit what they can and cannot read(as long as it’s appropriate of course), whether it be a comic book, a book about Captain underpants, a book with only pictures and no words, a book much below or higher than their reading level, it doesn’t matter! They’ll love the freedom and the independence they have when coming to the library and they know they can pick out whatever book they please.

 

Reading is so important in paving the way for our kids to have a higher-quality education, especially while they’re young. Reading helps with spelling, grammar, writing, eloquence, creativity, and being more open minded.

 

And just like reading, choosing the right Preschool for your child is so important. But it can be very overwhelming!

 

But I found this article by Kindercare very helpful in what to look for in finding a Preschool that’s best for your child as well as the rest of the family.

 

And I’m not going to lie, I am looking forward to school starting so I can get some alone time. I don’t want Summer to go any faster and I am enjoying my time with them but Summer can be crazy! And it’s important for us mothers to have our alone time regularly. I was feeling very burnt out being a mother a few weeks ago and as I was complaining in my head, I had an epiphany that in that moment of feeling burnt out, exhausted, frustrated, and annoyed, it’s in that very moment I become a better person.

 

My two oldests will be in school full day and my youngest will go to Preschool but I haven’t nailed down which school he will go to, I’ve been procrastinating. It can be so overwhelming because there are so many options! I’ve been looking into Kindercare for my son and have been so impressed with their program such as starting this year, Kindercare’s registered dietitian made big changes to their food program of not serving juice, fried foods or sugary snacks but introducing healthy, wholesome foods and also food from different cultures as well like Chinese lo mein, Indian chickpea biryani, and a southwestern rice-and-bean bowl. I love this! I’m a firm believer that having kids try new foods from different cultures makes kids be more open minded, be less picky eaters and helps them to appreciate the beautiful cultures that are out there. I also love that they clean their toys not just at the end of the day but throughout the day to make sure it’s clean and sanitary.

 

There are so many other things I’ve found that impressed me with Kindercare and I feel really good about sending my son there.

SOCCER SEASON

~ Etc.

 

 

I am participating in an influencer program on behalf of Claritin®. This program is paid for by the makers of Claritin® and I have received compensation for my participation. All opinions expressed are my own. *Use Children’s Claritin® as directed on packaging

 

 

Soccer season is upon us! When Jay signed our daughter up for soccer, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I thought it would be a more fun, casual, once a week kinda thing but turns
out… it was a 3-day try out and if you make it onto the team, it’s practice 3 times a week. That’s half of the week! It took me a lot of grunting to realize it’s something she loves and I need
to just get on board and support her and do it happily.

Soccer season also means it’s summer season and while I absolutely love summer and seeing everything come to life, I dread one thing that always comes with it, which is allergies. Allergies
suck so bad. Do you get them? I get it really, really bad. And unfortunately my oldest daughter has it too and she’s the most active kid out of all my children! She is busy with soccer (did I
mention it’s 3x a week? Want to make sure you got that), piano, swim, and gymnastics. So it’s really important that she is feeling her best.

I have been taking Claritin® for a few years now so when I found out they sell it for kids, I got the Claritin® RediTabs® for Juniors for my daughter, available in the healthcare isle near the Target pharmacy. It offers a non-drowsy, 24-hour allergy symptom relief! Yay, a win-win for me and her!

Cartwheel always has great offers available on Claritin® products, make sure to check here to see if one’s available before your trip to Target!

 

 

 

SEGO AWARDS

~ Etc.

 

 

 

Back in May I was nominated to be the top finalists for Sego Awards for the Social Media Category. Sego Awards is an award ceremony honoring female entrepreneurs and it was really fun and uplifting! It was held in the beautiful Sundance and Jay was of course my date.

 


I was one of the finalists among some crazy talented and successful women like Jordan Page, Alison Faulkner, Rach Parcell and had no idea how I made it to be a finalist! I wrote on my Instagram about that and I got some sweet DM’s and comments about how I should own it and be proud of it but the truth is, I’m not being humble or discrediting myself, I just don’t put much worth on my social media status so I didn’t really care. I was telling another influencer from the top 10 after the event, how I just felt a little awkward about the social media category and going to the award ceremony(which ended up being very uplifting and empowering as I saw so many amazing women being recognized) because it’ll never be my goal to win an award for something like social media. My social media or the number of followers I have does not add any value to who I am. I feel some may tie in their self esteem, worth or value to how many followers they have, how much money they make, what they do or their husbands do for a job, how big or small their house is, what they look like, what size they wear, what kind of clothes they wear and none of that defines who we are. None of it. Not even our race, religion or sexual preference!

So I add no value to who I am from my social media. I’m not any cooler now than when I had 30 followers. I’m not any cooler or worth any more than anyone with a lesser following nor is anyone worth more or any cooler than me for having 10 million followers! So everyone just needs to calm down and not take social media so seriously!😆 I shared this similar sentiment awhile ago on this post #sharingmyheartonvalue so go read it and come back to tell me your thoughts!
