I recently got to test out some Squid Balm products that were graciously sent to me. Most times I refuse any sort of product in the beauty and/or skincare realm. I get dozens of requests each week and I always have to politely explain that I can't test them if I won't use them. ;) Soap and shampoo bars are just my thing though. I was also very interested in trying a lotion bar since I have heard good things about them. Plus my skin has been drier since I started spending so much time in the … [Read more...]
SHOPPING CART BASKETS
Cool product alert!! I am super excited to have found these in my Internet browsing this morning. While I do have more than enough reusable bags there are just times when I forget them.

Sarah wanted to make a fun, stylish planner that would fit well inside a purse for those that like the visual reminder of a weekly planner. These planners measure 5” by 7” and are made with high-quality recycled paper, soy-based ink and they are printed and … [Read more...]
5 Ways to Recycle Your Blue Jeans
I seem to be suffering from clumsiness lately. A few weeks back I was walking out of my bedroom and instead of clearing the doorway my left hip brushed the doorjamb and caught on the receiver end of the door knob thingamajiggy (not sure what to call it). It ripped my jeans ever so slightly. The 1.5 inch tear didn't bother me much so I just kept wearing them as is. Well it happened again a few days ago and now that tear streaks down my whole back side...so they are not wearable anymore. A patch … [Read more...]
