7 Discoveries That Have Changed My Life – 7 Things I don’t know what I would do without!
How could I live without the following 7 discoveries in my life? Ok, so maybe I’m being a little dramatic on some of them lol, but seriously, ALL of these discoveries have definitely changed my life for the better, and I am SO excited to share them with you today! I hope you find them helpful, encouraging and even inspiring! 🙂

Number 7 Discovery that has changed my life: VASELINE.
Vaseline is so unassuming… but it is like magic, it honestly works wonders! Store brands also work great, as long as they are 100% Petroleum Jelly. Vaseline is great, great, great, and extremely affordable, especially if you buy store brand. Vaseline is awesome for the skin!! It works wonders to moisturize, protect, AND repair your skin. I have tried many other expensive lotions and creams for my skin… I tell you, nothing comes close to good old Vaseline! It does have the tendency to make your skin a little shiny for just a little while as in settles into your skin, so I use St Ive’s lotion for my face and hands, and Vaseline for the rest of my body.

I was recently reminded of how powerful Vaseline is… I developed eczema on a spot on my right hand a couple of winters ago. I initially had no clue what it was, as I have never (to my knowledge) had eczema prior to this. I showed my hand to my doctor, she took one look at it and said it was eczema. I discovered eczema has no cure, only management and flare up prevention. I tried to manage it with lotions and such, and it would go away, but come back again during the winter. Guess what? I did a google search one day and discovered that GOOD OLD VASELINE works wonders on eczema. Now remember, I had not been using Vaseline on my hands in the past, but this time I did… and guess what, the eczema went completely away! it was like magic, the healing effect was SO quick! So I now happily and excitedly use Vaseline all over my body, including my hands. Still not on my face though lol. You’re welcome! 😀

Number 6 Discovery that that has changed my life: ROKU.
Roku is a streaming stick that was recommended to me by a dear friend a few years ago. At the time, I had no idea what I was missing lol! Decided to give it a try, and it won me over! We absolutely love ROKU! We have subscriptions to Hulu and Netflix in addition to the one time Roku purchase (it’s very very affordable), and other than that we pay nothing for Cable TV. We have more than enough awesome shows to watch, and it is SO convenient because we watch our favorite shows at our own convenience. I cannot say enough good things about Roku – There’s something for everyone! You can customize your experience by getting the add-ons that work best for you and your family. If you want, you can also hook your tv up to a simple digital antenna to watch crisp and clear local TV channels.

We introduced Roku to my parents shortly after we started using it. I remember my Dad saying to me: “God bless you and your husband for introducing us to Roku” 🙂 They absolutely love it!

Number 5 Discovery that has changed my life: HAIR CLIPPERS.
I started wearing my hair short a loooooong time ago, when I was finishing up my undergrad. I was super busy at school and I was tired of having to deal with my hair. I felt so liberated when I cut my hair, because I went from spending lots of time, energy and money on it to spending practically no time and money on my hair. I loved it and I was happy to pay a barber to get a simple hair cut every 5-6 weeks or so. I continued this for a couple of years, and then I got married! 🙂 Long story short, my husband and I discovered how easy it was to cut each other’s hair using hair clippers we purchased when we went grocery shopping! My life has not been the same since then lol! I have not stepped into a hair salon or any kind of hair place in almost 2 decades lol! I LOVE IT! My husband cuts my hair, I cut his hair, and we cut our boys’ hair too. 🙂

Number 4 Discovery that that has changed my life: PASTA SAUCE.
Ok, I know what you’re thinking… Pasta Sauce… really? But please, hear me out lol! Buying and using Pasta sauce (the ones in glass jars) has seriously transformed my life. We eat a wide variety of tomato based stews and dishes. Traditionally, I would have to blend tomatoes, onions and peppers in a blender to cook all these delicious meals. Not anymore! Actually my dear husband came up with this idea! He was using Ragu (pasta sauce) to cook before we got married. I was initially skeptical, but once I tasted the stews and dishes he would make, I was hooked! Bye-bye blender! Now we use pasta sauce to make absolutely delicious pasta sauce (we cook it in a pot on the stove, add some cooking oil, spices, onions, meats, etc) and eat it with pasta. In addition, we also regularly use pasta sauce to make many other tomato based dishes we enjoy eating! It cuts our cooking time into a fraction of what it could be!

Number 3 Discovery that has changed my life: PREPACKAGED KALE SALAD.
For instance, Taylor Farms Sweet Kale Chopped Salad (With Cranberries) is absolutely delicious. There’s another brand we buy at Costco/Sam’s Club by Eat Smart, and it’s called Sweet Kale Vegetable Salad Kit – both brands are pretty similar. This salad is yummy, yummy, yummy! ❤ Even my 12 year old, who doesn’t usually like green vegetables, will gobble it right up, eat a second serving, AND remind me to buy more when we run out! We almost always serve it to guests when we have people over. So delicious and so nutritious! 🙂

Number 2 Discovery that has changed my life: WRITING.
I love love love writing. It is so therapeutic! When I write, I am encouraged and inspired… and as a beautiful bonus, I have the opportunity to encourage and inspire others too! Thank you God for this opportunity to write regularly! 🙂

Number 1 ABSOLUTELY LIFE CHANGING DISCOVERY – Hands down, no comparison – JESUS!
Knowing Jesus more and more has been an absolutely positively life changing experience… Jesus is everything and more! I have absolutely NO desire to do life (here and beyond) without Jesus.
