Beauty Box 5 February!
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. Regular as clockwork my cute little turquoise box from BeautyBox 5 filled with goodies just for ME has arrived!! I love opening the mailbox and finding this treasure every month. Everything in this little turquoise box is for me! ME! ME! ME!! AND mostly filled with items I’ve never tried before!! So, what’s in the BeautyBox 5 this month?? Starting with Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment from GlamGlow. Ohhhh This is an anti-aging mask you leave on for 10 minutes; you’ll know it’s working because it tingles. When you get ready to rinse off move your fingers in a circular motion and to activate the exfoliate properties. WOW you will have super soft, hydrated skin!! I need this stuff delivered by the truck load! #glamglow Mineral Eyeshadow in Vanilla Frosting This is an iridescent mineral shadow, a little goes along way. Since this eyeshadow has a very subtle sparkle to it I use it just under my brow and in the corner of my eye. Even if I’m not fully awake my…

iGearPro 8GB Digital Audio Voice Recorder
Sometimes inspiration comes at the oddest times! Since my morning commute is about 20 to 30 minutes long depending on traffic I have that time to think about how to describe to you guys my latest find. Without a doubt I’ll think of the perfect wording or a great description as I’m driving; of course, traffic in Southern California has two speeds FAST AS HELL and dead stop and usually within say ohhhh a half a mile apart from each other!! So, jotting things down is NOT an option!! Neither is emailing myself notes like I do in the middle of the night! DO NOT TEXT and drive!! (That was my public service announcement for the day) Check out my solution!! This is the iGearPro 8GB Digital Audio Voice Recorder a multifunctional and very portable, rechargeable Dictaphone, MP3 player. First, it’s lightweight so it’s easy to take with you. The folks at iGearPro really thought of everything with this little guy; among the cords that arrive with the voice recorder is a cord with a small microphone on it and a clip. I leave the recorder in my purse and attach the clip to my collar and yak away while I’m driving!…

VonShef Premium Vacuum Food Saver and Sealer System Review
As most of you that follow my blog know; I’m getting things ready for yearly trek to Yosemite for a week of tent camping. One of the most important things FOOD!! I am thrilled with my newest kitchen accessory! Check it out! The VonShef Premium Vacuum Food Saver and Sealer System is perfect!! I will be able to store large amounts of food in a smaller space! This little guy sucks out all the air then vacuum seals!! DH and I have been vacuum sealing like crazy. Leftovers, veggies, you can even just use the seal function and seal that open bag of potato chips!! No more stale chips! It did take a couple of tries to get this down pat. The biggest thing we learned is to BE SURE TO close the top correctly! Push on both the left and right side until you hear the click. Next, the bag size. Be sure to give yourself 2″ between the bag and the food for a perfect seal! This is really important. Next take your time; it doesn’t really take a long time. I promise. I also received a box of VonShef bags that are ready to use. OR you…

Starry Solar String Lights Review
A while back I reviewed a set of Brightech Fairy Sparkle string lights and I put them in Alice’s room. These lights are so warm and inviting!! NOW I want to share with you a set of The Original Starry Solar String Lights are another brilliant product from Brightech. I received three of these sets, cool white, multi-color and warm white. These LED lights are on a flexible copper wire. These can go ANYWHERE because the miniature LED lights are on solar powered!! SO CUTE!! This string of lights is multi-colored and instantly adds pizzazz anywhere you want!! These are perfect for your garden, patio or deck. Alice and I put our set on the patio and then sat back and admired our new ‘fairy garden’. On 20′ of thin copper wire are 120 LED lights. 120 FUN bright colors!! That had 3 year old Alice mesmerized! The LED lights will last for up to 20 YEARS!! Included in the Starry Solar String Lights package are a clamp or a garden stake. We used the ground stake in a potted plant and it works perfectly!!The solar panel has a thin film over it for shipping so be sure to remove it so it…
