Healing After Pet Loss: Navigating Your Grief

By
Losing a pet is a uniquely painful experience. For many of us without children, our pets aren't just animals; they're our family. They're our confidants, our daily companions, and a source of unconditional love. So when they're gone, the silence they leave behind is deafening. I recently lost my guinea pig, Cinnamon, after almost five years together. The worst part was that I had to sit there and watch her die, completely helpless. There wasn't a single vet in a 100-mile radius who would see her. The feeling of watching a beloved friend suffer and not being able to do a single thing about it is something that will stick with me for a long time. R.I.P. Cinnamon! ðŸ’” This kind of loss brings a complicated type of grief. It's not just sadness; it's layered with guilt, anger, and a profound sense of failure, even when there was nothing you could have done. The world keeps moving, but your little world has stopped. People, often with good intentions, might say t...

SlimQuick Pure Protein Powder Helps Women Loose 3X The Weight

Slimquick Pure Protein Powder

I’ve been drinking SlimQuick protein shakes one to two times a day for a few weeks now and I must say, it’s quite tasty. The powder is made with Whey Protein and natural ingredients like green tea, sunflower oil creamer, and soy lecithin. It’s available in Double Chocolate and French Vanilla. I got to try the French Vanilla and it’s so delicious! It has a nice, creamy vanilla flavor and kind of reminds me of Slim-Fast.

I love that the powder contains only 1 gram of sugar and 3 grams of dietary fiber, plus 10 grams of protein and 50 mg of calcium. These are the supplement facts that are important to me (low sugar, high protein, and fiber help as well).

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by BrandBacker. I received this product complimentary in exchange for my honest, unbiased review. All opinions are 100% mine.

Directions and Usage

A scooper is included in the jar and the powder is light, fluffy, and easy to measure. You only need to combine 1 scoop with 4 oz of water and mix for 20-30 seconds in a shaker or blender. Personally, I prefer a blender since I sometimes like to add other things and turn it into a smoothie. I found that berries and yogurt mix really well with the powder. I often even add Acerola powder (Vitamin C) for an extra boost. This powder makes a great base for more complex smoothies too.

You’re supposed to drink a shake in the morning with food and then 6 hours later with an afternoon meal or snack. You shouldn’t exceed two servings within a 24-hour period. Of course, you also should also adhere to a reduced-calorie diet and exercise regularly.


I found it kind of hard to adhere to the “6 hours later” part. First, I have a vampire-type schedule (up all night, sleeping during the day). Second, I don’t always have the luxury of eating the proper amount of meals each day. Sadly, I often skip breakfast altogether (fast-forward to now, and I do this purposely due to intermittent fasting!). 

Some days I only have a nice dinner and snacks throughout the day. I know this is something I need to work on though - eating regularly and having the money to purchase the amount of food needed to eat healthily and regularly.

About SlimQuick Pure Protein

"New SLIMQUICK Pure Protein is the only protein supplement designed specifically to help women lose 3 times the weight. Plus, SLIMQUICK Pure Protein tastes incredibly delicious and provides 20 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber per day!

Only SLIMQUICK Pure Protein is made with BioPure Green Tea, a natural extract that has been shown in a published clinical study to help overweight women lose 3 times the weight versus dieting alone, in just 13 weeks."

Final Thoughts

I know that with the proper budget and amount of food, this would work wonders for me. As it stands, I didn’t lose much. I do know that I lost a couple pounds within these few weeks because a skirt I could barely fit into now fits comfortably. So that’s a good thing. 

I haven’t gained any weight either, which is even better. I have PCOS, which makes it even harder to lose weight. So that could also factor into my low weight loss amount (although improper diet and small amounts of exercise are surely the main culprits). Also, the stats are based on 13 weeks of usage. It has only been about 3 weeks for me.

The SlimQuick Pure Protein powder definitely helps me to feel full for longer so I’m not as hungry throughout the day. When I drink it with a meal, I definitely eat less. I absolutely love the taste and love creating smoothies with it. While it’s often hard for me to stick to the two-a-day servings, I have been at least getting one serving a day and feel better internally.

200+ Must-Have Mods for The Sims 2 (Ultimate List)

By

The Sims 2, while a classic, can feel a bit dated compared to newer games. However, with the right mods and custom content (CC), you can breathe new life into your game and make it even more enjoyable. I've compiled a list of must-have mods and a few CC items, many of which I personally use and love. They add so much variety and personality, and many even fix pesky bugs. So, let's get modding! © A Little Bit Of Me Important Notes:  Some of the graphics and UI enhancement mods are not needed for the 2025 Sims 2 Legacy Collection since this version  is already optimized for modern hardware as detailed here . Clean UI and Starship UI (mentioned below)  already include multiple UI improvements ( e.g., custom loading screens, widescreen CAS, and improved family tree ), so you won't need to install additional mods for those things. The TS2 Starter Pack ( a completely free version of The Sims 2 available on Github )  already comes with numerous graphics and UI optim...

50 Exciting Mods to Enhance Your Sims 3 Experience

Remember the good old days of The Sims 3? That game was a total game-changer when it hit the scene back in 2009 — and it's still one of my favorite games of all time! It took everything we loved about The Sims 2 and cranked it up to eleven. Let's take a quick trip down memory lane and see why The Sims 3 still holds a special place in our hearts, even with The Sims 4 out there. The Sims 3: Why It's Still Awesome Picture this: You're controlling your Sim at home, and suddenly you decide you want to visit the park across town. In The Sims 2, you'd have to sit through a long loading screen. But in The Sims 3? Bam! You just walk or ride right over. No waiting, no fuss. That open-world concept was mind-blowing at the time, and honestly, it's still pretty cool today ( yes, I still play occassionally ). The Sims 3 also lets us get super creative with our Sims' looks. Remember spending hours tweaking every little detail of your Sim's face? And don't even get...

The Story of God and Us Review: A Must-Read

By
Image
I love reading the Bible, but I can admit that sometimes I get lost in the details. It's easy to see the individual books as separate stories instead of one continuous narrative. I've often wanted a guide that connects all the dots, and that's exactly what I found in The Story of God and Us by Jonathan Murphy. The first thing I noticed was the eye-catching cover, but what I found inside was even better. This book presents God's grand narrative in a way that is clear, engaging, and deeply personal, showing how we are all an important part of it. Who is Jonathan Murphy? The Author Behind the Story Before diving into the book, it helps to know the author. The Jonathan Murphy author credit belongs to the senior pastor of Stonebriar Community Church and a professor at the respected Dallas Theological Seminary . This isn't just someone with a theory; he dedicates his life to teaching the Bible. His experience as a pastor comes through in his writing. He’s not just ...

The Stray Cat Who Chose Me: My Kitten Rescue Story

By
Image
It all started with a stray cat, a beautiful black and gold tortoiseshell. I began feeding her back in April, just leaving some food out for her. By mid-May, she was a regular visitor, and I noticed she was pregnant. My heart just went out to this expectant mother. I made it my mission to keep her well-fed, which, let me tell you, was a task. Her appetite was huge, and she was eating three to four times a day. She practically lived in our yard, a silent agreement that this was her safe space. She'd be there to greet me in the morning and would come and go throughout the day. My indoor cat, Adah, eventually got used to her presence, a big step considering her initial reaction was to lunge at the window. The stray, whom I affectionately started thinking of as “Mama Cat” (I even called her “mama”), seemed to settle in, making our yard her home. As June progressed, she started staying even after sunset, a sign of her growing trust. The dynamic was peaceful, and I was happy to provide ...
