Lotion Bar Testimony!

Hey Pooka Family!! You guys may think this is weird…giving a testimony about our own products but this I had to share.  So I went on a business trip last week which left Wale and my dad to care for Taiye.  As many of you know, Taiye suffers with eczema and the heat really makes her skin flare up.  In addition to that, she is swimming 3 days a week at camp so the chlorine contributes to the dryness of her skin.  I thought I had her eczema under control so far this summer with using the skin cream her dermatologist recommended, but then I went away on this business trip.  I was gone for 3 days and when I came back, my baby was covered in rashes, ashes and sores.  Obviously my husband and father were oblivious to what they should and did know….Taiye has eczema!!  You have to keep her skin cool and moisturized!!!  Ugh!!  So I called up Auntie Dr. Dawn and she told me to exfoliate her skin very gently with the buffin muffin, then use our fragrance-free lotion bar.  Well family, after just 1 week my baby skin has improved 90%!!  She said to me, “Mommy, my skin is shining now.”  I was so angry at Wale for not being attentive and letting her skin get this way but thank goodness for Auntie Dawn’s creativity with making the Buffin Muffin and fragrance-free lotion bars!!!  Taiye’s skin is smooth to the touch!!!

Peace and Blessings!

Grape Tomatoes!

Greetings Family!

Well we are in summer now and I love it! A lot of outdoor grilling which is great for this foodie. Wanted to share one of my favorite summer side dishes. Grape tomatoes! You can usually find them on sale two or three packs at a time. I cut them in half and add a pinch of salt, pepper, diced red onion and fresh garlic. Pour in some good Italian dressing  and stir so all the tomatoes get some love!  The last time I made I  added diced smoked gouda which took it to a new level. I usually make a big bowl and we eat until gone. .which is usually fast lol. But the longer it marinates the better it is. Serve as a side, with salad, I put on top of my burger. ..enjoy!

A series of firsts!

Hey Pooka Family!! Welcome to summer!  I’m writing this blog on a mid-summer July day.  It’s been a great summer so far, filled with a lot of firsts!  Taiye finished her first year of school; we took our first trip to Europe where we visited London and Paris!! While Wale was working, Taiye and I ventured off on our own and went to the London Eye, the Parliament, Westminster Bridge, Big Ben and a couple of museums.  We had a great time.  On the last 2 days Wale took some time off and we took the Eurostar train to Paris and went to the Eiffel Tower!  Another first for this year…..Taiye lost her first tooth!!!!  I mean she literally lost it!  It came out during Music Theater camp and she didn’t even realize it.  The staff and the other kids look all around but they could not find it.  She insists that she didn’t swallow it but it is nowhere to be found.  So instead of a tooth under the pillow, she wrote a note to the tooth fairy, “Dear tooth fairy I lost my tooth today.”  That was it!  Luckily the tooth fairy must have found it at MT camp because he left her a first tooth certificate and $1.00!!!! 

Peace & Blessings!
