Pumpkin Spice Balls

So if you follow me on Instagram, I went on in my stories about how much I want botox. Yes, I am all about being non toxic and better ingredients because I truly do believe what you put in your body and on your body is incredibly important. I also believe in balance. And I DESPISE wrinkles. In this situation the good will clearly outweigh the bad…right?

My skin is 10x better than it was 3 years after I started using Beautycounter, but there are still wrinkles. It doesn’t matter how healthy, how dewy or how much glow you have, the wrinkles are there! This is a mute point though because I am pregnant and soon (hopefully) will be breastfeeding. So botox will be on the back burner for a while. But sitting in that dermatologist office with all the posters advertising botox just made me WANT it! I even asked if the dr could laser or treat this one dark spot on my forehead that has been there forever, and he said I will just have to wait. Why? Because…pregnancy. No doctor unless it is your OB wants to touch you when you’re pregnant. I agree on withholding the botox, but light/laser therapy? That is being a tad ridiculous in my opinion.

Anyways, I digress and move onto to pumpkin balls! If you love pumpkin & PB, you will LOVE these. Great for a sweet treat or just a post workout snack. Soak up Pumpkin season while you can!
