Grandma was right...

I have a health issue that was discovered last summer.  Apparently stress makes it worse. And with my life, stress is abundant. 

I've been on a search to de-stress as much as I can.  Unfortunately the kids keep getting sick, and not one of them believes in sleeping through the night (seriously people - you are 3 and 5!) My husband also suffers from a disease called "as soon as my wife cleans/organizies something, I find a way to dirty/clutter it back up again". 

I received a free sample of some face cloths recently, and just tried them over the break. Ponds Evening Soothe towelettes are simply awesome! They are made with white tea and chamomile flower extract.  I had been using a different cleanser at night, which always left my face dry.  These towelettes are quite moisturizing, and leave my skin feeling soft and smooth.  I swear my skin actually looks brighter!  (And they remove make-up, including mascara, which is a plus.)



I think the smell is my favorite part.  With the chamomile scent, I actually feel more relaxed after using a towelette, and go to bed more at ease than before.  (I still have a million to-do items running through my head, but with these towelettes, as well as my lavendar lotion I use on my hands, I truly feel more relaxed.)

The funny thing is, I always associated Ponds with my grandma. She swore by using their cold cream on her face every single night and said it kept the wrinkles away.  I couldn't see myself lathering up with cold cream, and never thought to use Ponds for their other products until now.  Gigii is pretty sick right now, and recovering from a few broken ribs caused by a stroke/fall on Christmas day, so I've yet to mention this to her - but I am going to tell her she is right! Ponds is a great product! ;)

Disclaimer - this review was by me, for me. Ponds has no idea I'm writing it, and I have received no compensation for it. However, should they see I wrote this, I'd happily accept coupons. ;)

Am sure Gigi will be chuffed to know she was right. Hope both you and her and well soon. No more stressing!

I got this same sample and as soon as I ran out my skin went back to blah.

Book Review...and a Giveaway!!!

I was lucky enough to win an ARC of When the Rogue Returns  from Sabrina Jeffries herself! I couldn't wait to read it.  After reading the first book in The Duke's Men series, What the Duke Desires , I was excited to see that this next book was about Victor Cale. In  When the Rogue Returns , Victor Cale is headed to Scotland to investigate a woman, Sofie Franke.  He has his suspicions that this woman is actually Isabella, his wife who disappeared on him ten years before.  He has spent the last decade searching to bring her to justice after she stole the royal jewels and left him to behind to deal with the authorities.  Isabella Cale, now known as Sofie Franke, has built a new life for herself and her ten-year old daughter after her husband ran off with the royal jewels. Are you intrigued yet? Victor and Isa's first meeting was great! Both blame the other for the missing jewels, and both are greatly suspicious of the other's motives.  Despite their renewed feel

Enjoy the little things...

The music filled my head as I drove my car along the winding river road on that dark and snowy night.  I had just left my grandpa's wake and was headed home... alone.....  My husband had the stomach flu, we had moved into our new house the day before my grandpa passed, and I was 5 1/2 months pregnant.  The baby boy inside me kicked along with the song, as I cried and listened to the words. Mama told me when I was young Come sit beside me, my only son And listen closely to what I say. And if you do this It will help you some sunny day. Take your time... Don't live too fast, Troubles will come and they will pass. Go find a woman and you'll find love, And don't forget son, There is someone up above. I've always found comfort in songs... the words of the artists resonating with me through even my darkest times. Lynyrd Skynyrd's Simple Man is one of those songs that just happens to play on the radio at the precise moment that I need a remind

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

The countdown to Hallowe'en begins! Please note this is not the actual number of days until Hallowe'en. The picture was taken two days ago. The house is totally decorated, although I still could use a few more things ;) One of the cool new decorations I bought this year are these Halloween Pumpkin Wall Decals from Kohls.  I love them!  My structured, OCD self feels the mantle is too cluttered, but the spooky side of me just doesn't care. ;) How do you decorate for Hallowe'en?
