 Battery Powered Eyebrow/Facial/Body Hair Trimmers 

                                                       https://www.amazon.com/gp/



I ordered the TOUCHBeauty AS-1158 Battery Powered Eyebrow/Facial/Body Hair Trimmers for Women from Amazon, I ordered it for my husband when he trims the hair around his neck, ears, and nose. 
Surprisingly this cuts through his thick hair without pulling. I like that it comes with a long and short trimming head for different uses. When I trim his neck up I use the longer blade, when he trims his nose hairs he uses the smaller head. 
This trimmer is a great size, a little over 5.6". So it travels well and is easy to use. 
I wish I would have saved this for a stocking stuffer, but he is getting his use out of it now.

But this hair trimmer works just as well on women as it does on men.  From grooming facial hair to the little hairs on my toes this trimmer gets used daily.

Do you use stainless tumblers like Yeti?  I love them. However I don't want to dish out all the money for one.  I have found a brand that I really like SheriffDrink.  I found it on Amazon.com.  

I previously ordered this one for my husband. 


However this one  is the perfect coffee to go coffee mug for myself.


This much smaller version is perfect. It holds 10oz, is 4.5" tall and 3.5" wide. I love that I can take it with me in the car and not have to worry about it spilling because it has a sliding spill and splash proof lid. Plus it fits in my cup holder.
To be honest this works very well for wine too! I have used this low ball tumbler multiple times drinking around the bonfire with our neighbors. I even used it when I was passing out Halloween candy the other night.
Bottom line is I think this tumbler rocks. It keeps cold beverages cold even without ice and it keeps my coffee hot and not just warm.

So I ordered this super cute princess castle tent for my daughter and I love it! Honestly the only down side to it so far is that there were no instructions included. I did however reference the diagram in the pictures on the product listing and I was able to put this tent together in about 15 minutes. I was torn on giving this product 4 stars or 5 becasue of the no instructions, but it was not hard for me to assemble the poles, so I say 4.5 stars.

First I thought I was going to put the poles together and then slip the tent on, but that was not the case. The poles that go on the bottom of the frame go into a sleeve on the floor of the tent. I used the medium length poles for the base and the longest poles for the side of the tent, these poles connected with the plastic connectors. I use the rest of the medium length poles for the top of the tent. Finally I use the shortest pole for the "roof" of the tent. I used the included plastic extension pieces to make these pole long enough, and these pole get connected to the spider looking plastic piece. I was very happy how well everything fit together, best of all the tent fabric lined up perfectly once I assembled all the poles.

My 3 year old daughter has really enjoyed playing in her new tent. I have to say it has held up very well with heavy play. All six sides of this tent can be tied back or left down. I am happy with the size of the tent. It is a little larger than I thought but this is not a bad thing. The inside of the tent is 51.5" tall. My 3 year old can stand up in it. The diameter is 51", so it is large enough for 2-3 kids to comfortably play in. I can even play in there too. Each of the 6 openings are 34" tall and easy to go in and out of. I have to say this has made story time and play time so much fun! 


One of daughters favorite things about her new princess tent is the lights! There is a 23' strand of battery operated lights with 50 small star lights. I strung them up along the pole of the tent. The lights take 3 AA batteries that are not included. On the battery pack there is a small switch to turn the lights on, off, and there is a flashing mode too.

I am very happy with this play tent and my daughter is loving it too.

An all natural body scrub that I like better than my homemade one! 



Usually I make my own body scrub, but I had a chance to purchase to purchase this Lavender Shortbread Cookie body scrub at a discounted price so I thought I would give it try. I have to say I'm pressed. It has everything I would put in my homemade scrub plus some moisturizing oils I wish I had to put in my scrub. 

Right off the bat when when I opened the container I could smell the scent of Lavender. This is a thick body scrub. A little goes a long a way too. What I really like about about this scrub is that is does a great job at exfoliating smoothly. The sugar crystals are a perfect size for polishing my skin and not tearing it up the way some exfoliates do. Plus it leaves my skin very moisturized form all the amazing moisturizing oils in the scrub.

I would recommend this all natural body scrub. I think it would make a great gift plus it is affordable! (link to order here)

    When was the last time you bought yourself something                                                   special?


I very rarely buy myself something special.  Sure I splurge every once in while on  Etsy or Amazon, but my splurge is some new natural lip gloss, or an add on item.  I think the last time I honestly splurged was when I bought myself some new fringe boots 3 years ago. So I think it was about time. I wanted to buy something that I normally wouldn't purchase for myself.  So ordered myself a silk and lace night gown! (link here)  Like the good kind of silk, 100% Mulberry silk, not the cheap look a like I can find at the local big box store.   
There is something pretty special about the words silk and lace.  I mean when I hear silk and lace I think of flowing light weight fabric that has a liquid look to it, I think of romance and soft touches. All these words can also be used to describe this beautiful night gown.  

When I first received my night gown in the mail I loved that it cam in a black gift box that even had a green twine ribbon around it.  I mean after all this was a gift myself!  My new silk night gown was beautifully displayed in the gift box.  I  took it out and I was immediately in love with feel.  The 100% Mulberry silk is so soft and supple and has a light shine to it.  The lace trim and accents are just as soft. No stiff itchy lace on this beautiful night gown. 


My new night gown is full length and fits oh so nicely. It has a tailored fit and flares out into a slight A line. There is lace trim around the bust and straps and the bottom, the low cut lace back is very nice look.  I feel like an old school Hollywood starlet strutting around in my house in it.  I love that after a long crazy day of being a Mom and wife I can slip into this night gown and feel like a women and not just a mom and a wife. 

I am so happy splurged on this night gown for myself.  I am also happy that the care for this isn't to high maintenance, I wash it in a garment bag on my washing machine on the delicate setting with my knits and sweaters. I lay it on my drying rack and it dries rather quickly. 

I think this would make a great gift for any women, especially one that wouldn't purchase this for themselves. I know this is a little pricey but I looked around and found this to be comparable to the $100+ price tags I found online and in stores. 

Here is a link to the night gown I purchased.  https://www.amazon.com/gp/

        I found some more affordable essential oils! 

I use essential oils daily, multiple times a day. I am going to come right out and say that my favorite brand of essential oils is Young Living. I have tried almost a dozen other brands but I always run quickly back to my Young Living oils for all my needs. 

I have just recently came upon another brand that is a very close second to my beloved Young Living. The brand is called Earth Shield (link here).  I purchased two of there oils at a discounted price and I am pretty damn impressed. 

The first oil that I ordered was Gang of Five Essential Oil, it is very comparable to Young Living Thieves oil. So I used this oil just like I did my Thieves.  First I diffused it becasue it is cold season and my husband has the sniffles.  The scent is similar but has a stronger scent of a cinnamon, I like it. Then I used it when I moped my kitchen and bathroom floors.  I added 15 drops of oil to 1/2 cup of vinegar and water.  It cleaned my floors really good and the scent of the oil lingered a bit. 



 The second oil I ordered is Helichrysum  which is amazing for colds and any upper respiratory infection.  Now if you are familiar with Young Living and this oil you know it is a pricey one. But the Earth Shield one is much more affordable.  I diffuse this in my room at night for my husband so he can breath easier.  I also made my homemade salve (similar to vicks capor rub)  I mixed 1/2 cup of coconut oil and 7 drops of Helichrysum, 7 drops of Lavender, and 5  Rosemary essential oil and put in a small mason jar.   I apply to the bottom of our feet and on our chest to help with any kind of congestion. 

I have to say I am very happy with these oils and I think they are defiantly worth checking out.

My new buy for my daughter's room


So I ordered this really neat starry sky rotating projection light for my 3 year old daughters room from Amazon. She has been having a hard time falling asleep lately and I thought the lights might relax her busy little mind and she could fall asleep watching the stars go round her room. Well score one for this Mom becasue she really likes this light and it helps her relax faster than before.

What I think is super cool about this rotating projection light is that when more than 2 colors are on the look is 4D. It looks so cool that I bet it would make some people dizzy. I like that this can be run on batteries or be plugged into the wall with the included USB cable, but there is no wall adapter included.


This light can be used as a regular night light when the removable dome is on. We don't use it that way though, because the rotating stars are just so cool. There as lots of colors and color combinations to chose from. There is white, blue, red, green, and yellow. There are 3 buttons on the front of the light that are the controls.

The only down side to this rotating projection light is that it does make noise when the rotation is turned on. Kind of like a hum. It doesn't seem to bother my daughter. She does has a diffuser going at night and that makes a low noise too. Plus it has prime shipping so I got it in 2 days!
