• Beauty Box 5 September!

    Beauty Box 5

    It’s my favorite time of month! Well, it use to be. Unfortunately, Beauty Box 5 is no longer around. In July of 2017 Hurricane Henry hit Texas, Beauty Box 5 was one of the businesses that suffered. That makes me so sad. My Beauty Box 5 is here!! September’s box includes the following five items: First up. Sally Hansen Toe Spacers. cute pink swirling design. Nice and thick toe spacers too. Of course I wouldn’t expect anything less from Sally Hansen. Love the pink! BIG Bonus for me, because the dog ate my last pair and I’ve been using wadded up paper towels to separate my toes.#sallyhansen Next up, Nicka K New York’s Eyelight Crayon. Oh this shade of violet really makes my hazel eyes POP! I use it as an eyeliner. It smudges so well and stays PUT!! Smooth, buttery and silky, this cream shadow glides across my lids as shadow or an eye liner. I love the crease resistant formula!! Nicka K, where have you been all my life? I know already I NEED the MOSS Green Eyelight Crayon! AND at $4.99 I might need a few more colors too!! Available in 14 shades. #nickaknewyork Next up, Natural Style…

  • 2014 Kia Optima EX Hybrid! WOW!!

    First, The Kia Optima Hybrid is great on gas. Wait, that doesn’t even come close to describing the gas mileage. HOLY MOLY!! I tried my hardest to use a tank of gas. I TRIED HARD!! By the end of the week, SEVEN DAYS LATER…… I BARELY used a forth of a tank. I’ve never driven a hybrid before, NOW I see what all the fuss is about. This car IS AMAZING ON GAS!! Let me start with the outside of Kia Optima. First, it’s a sleek looking little car. The car has sleek lines and looks like a luxury car. I know, you’ve heard me say it before, I love a silver car!!   To me, silver is the classiest color. Silver seems to hide dirt better, so BONUS, the car looks cleaner longer! Keyless entry. Whoever invented this feature is amazing and I would like to shake their hand! Seriously, one of my favorite features on a car. I put the key fob in my pocket or purse and never have to take it out again. MAN I LOVE THAT!!! The Optima has another feature I love, the side mirrors fold in when you lock the car. But, here…

  • Check Out My ODE to Ansel Adams! GIVEAWAY!!

    You probably need a half a second on Peanut Butter and Whine to realize that I love taking photographs!! My camera is in my hand at MINIMUM once a day. Granted, most of the time I’m taking photo’s of the Grandbabies. Occasionally, I do take photo’s of other things, for instance, our last camping trip to Yosemite, my son Zac gave me a gift card for a 4 hour photography class from the Ansel Adams studio. HOLY MOLY!! Not only did I learn a ton of stuff about Ansel Adams. For instance, did you know that, since Ansel couldn’t pay employees a lot of money, he gifted them with original SIGNED photographs along with the negatives!! Can you imagine?! What a treasure those prints and negatives are! I also learned how to ‘see’ nature through the camera lens, what Ansel looked for in his shots. I learned how Ansel framed his shots. I stood where Ansel STOOD and I took photo’s just like Ansel Adams did in the 1950’s. I used the black and white setting, of course, I mean really? How can you do a Ansel Adams tour with color photographs?!?! I have one shot in particular that I…

  • A Comfortable Travel Outfit From Novica!! MY Favorite Spot On The WEB!!

    Unless you are new here, you’ve already heard that I’m headed to Hawaii in October for a Girls Only vacation! I’ll be toes in the sand, fruity drink in my hand, and sun on my face, Novica attire at the ready, for an entire week!! Now, getting there will take 5 hours. Five hours on a crowded airplane. My main goal during travel is comfort. Now, at the same time, I want to pack light, so I want my travel outfit to also double as a daytime outfit. First place I looked? Novica!! About Novica I am thoroughly and completely infatuated with Novica. This is a company that makes it its mission to GIVE BACK! I love that!! To date, Novica has sent over $50 MILLION dollars back to artisans around the world. Novica gives artisans around the world fair prices, no binding contracts, and the freedom to make a success of their craft by building a sustainable business. What does that mean to me? It means I can feel good about purchasing products from Novica. HUGE bonus is that the quality and workmanship is amazing. I have NEVER been disappointed in a single item I’ve purchased. I FOUND IT!!…
