Fountain of Youth

Remember when we talked about these moisturizers? I really liked the Aveeno for winter but in the summer wooo man that stuff was a bit THICK.  So I was wanting to try something else that was anti-aging and was talking to my cousin about it and she said that I needed to try this line by Oil of Olay.  That she had been using it and had told everybody in our family about it except me apparently.  I guess she wants me to look all old and wrinkly.  So I bought it and I do really like it.  The moisturizer is light and goes on great under makeup.  The eye cream and night cream, neither of which have ever been on my agenda in terms of skin care, are actually really good.  I haven’t broken out with either of them, which is generally something I worry about with moisturizer stuff.  And the fragrance is very light, nothing overpowering in the least.  Oh and also, I look 10 years younger after just 2 weeks of using these products.*

Christmas in July

Well, it might as well be Christmas because some little elves have invaded my make-up drawer and they are quite welcome to stay. E.L.F. cosmetics are under $3.00 and pretty darn amazing for that price tag. Specifically, the make-up brushes. I have several and use them daily. I just saw that my local Target is now carrying this brand and I couldn’t be merrier.

  1. Super Glossy Lip Shine
  2. Duo Eyeshadow Cream
  3. Eye Shadow Brush
  4. Brightening Eyeliner
  5. Radiance Blusher

Puddle Jumpers!

This summer my son has been old enough to maybe “enjoy” the pool.  So the first time we tried out the baby pool in our neighborhood, it was more like a combination of a heart attack, panic attack and stress city combined into one for me.  After that day I went on the hunt for something that would keep my kid’s head above the water.  And this is what I found:

Amazon, Stearns Kids Puddle Jumper Basic Life Jacket

This thing is a miracle! He can jump off the side and keep his head above water.  He can “swim” and keep his head above water.  I can take him in the big pool and he can keep his head above water.  It’s awesome!  Today was a much less stressful day at the pool!

Pampers Extra Protection vs Huggies Overnights

In terms of an overnight diaper we always just by default picked up Huggies Overnights, even though we use Pampers during the day.  I couldn’t tell you how many times we would deal with leakage in the morning, so we ended up getting things called diaper doublers that we would put inside of the Huggies Overnights to absorb even more.  A couple of weeks ago we saw these Pampers Extra Protection diapers and decided why not?  Worth a shot right? So we tried them without the diaper doubler and lo and behold no leakage.  We’ve been using them for a few weeks now and haven’t had any leakage whatsoever.  It’s crazy because they are so much thinner feeling than Huggies and yet, no leakage.  Anybody else a Pampers Extra Protection fan?

Now I’m going to tell you…

Ya’ll gave me some really good recs earlier with regards to my book list and I wouldn’t be doing you justice if I didn’t share as well.

  1. Possible Side Effects
  2. Wolf Across the Table
  3. Dry
  4. Running with Scissors
  5. Magical Thinking

So I got ROPED into these books and this author the instant that someone recommended I pick up Dry.  I don’t have a clue why I find his dysfunction and addition so fascinating–but I have read all five of these books more than once and think you should too!
