Maybe My Dog is Spoiled But I Don’t Really Mind

Living

You know the story… our two kids really wanted a dog. I wanted a small dog and one that didn’t shed. Then we found our Shih Tzu. We got Molly when she was a tiny puppy, 13 1/2 years ago. She’s aging like the rest of us. My kids were 10 and 7 at the time. So, Molly has been…

Everyone Will Love You for Making This English Toffee (and it’s so easy, too!)

Home & Garden

Delectable, yummy and maybe a little addicting, this version of English Toffee will get you rave reviews. But no one will know what a breeze it was to make. I originally got this English Toffee recipe from Cooks.com, called Toffee Bars but I’ve switched a few things up. And that’s it! A gift-worthy Christmas treat that your family and friends…

Fun Christmas Movies to Watch With Your Grown Kids

Relaxing

I can’t wait until everyone is home together for Christmas. We’ve shopped, decorated, baked and wrapped presents. Now we all need some down time over the holidays, together. And one of our family’s holiday traditions is watching Christmas movies all cuddled up on the couch. Maybe you’ve been watching Rudolph and Frosty for the last 20 years and in the…

Simple & Warm Christmas Decor Ideas

Home & Garden

Simple Christmas Decor: The older I’ve gotten, the less of our Christmas decorations seem to make it out of the giant tubs they’re stored in. When the kids were little I went all out and there were decorations everywhere. Now that our kids have grown, I put less out and keep it simpler. That doesn’t mean it is any less…

Escape With a Great Book…Powerful International Stories

Favorite Things· Relaxing

It’s always a great time to escape with a good book. But when the cold winds begin to blow I find myself looking for a story to draw me in and really take me away. It’s a hallmark of a good book, I think, when you continue to think about a story and the characters long after the last page…

Perfect everyday face wash.⁠ I love this face wa Perfect everyday face wash.⁠
I love this face wash so much! @paulaschoice "Ultra Gentle Cleanser" has become my go to everyday face wash. I use it in the shower and as a 2nd cleanse after a cleansing balm in the evening when I've been hot and sweaty all day or if i've had on sunscreen or makeup. Perfection for my mature skin.⁠
⁠
My number one consideration in a face wash is if i can use it on my very sensitive eyes and am happy to say this one fits the bill. You only need the tiniest bit so I expect this bottle to last a long time. Love it! No fragrance, just a very clean but not strippped feeling to my skin. So glad I found it ♥️.⁠

(no ads, just real recommendations) I love my @syd (no ads, just real recommendations)
I love my @sydneygraceco custom palette! I think of it as my "Cool Winter" palette, not because it's wintertime but because I love being able to select cooler toned colors just for me.. 

SWIPE for arm swatches of these beautiful colors.

I'm a minimal make-up person but this is all I need for shadows. And it never irritates my sensitive eyes!

Couldn't wait to post because they happen to be having their amazing "Christmas in July" sale.

The hype is real! Today's recommendation has gotte The hype is real! Today's recommendation has gotten a lot of mentions recently but I think it's deserved.⁠
⁠
"The Body Wash" from @necessaire really surprised me. I got the unscented version and I thought how much of an impression can an unscented body wash really make? But it really does leave your skin feeling soft and moisturized. Never have I almost forgotten to put on body lotion after a shower but I have to try to remember to do it now! ⁠
⁠
Just ordered their body lotion to try and can't wait to get it!⁠ Available at @sephora, @necessaire, @credo and more.⁠

I want to share a few basic skincare & beauty item I want to share a few basic skincare & beauty items over the next couple of weeks that I've REALLY been enjoying this (sweltering) summer. ⁠
⁠
First up are 2 lip products from @cayskin.⁠
⁠
I use both of these daily & LOVE them. On the left is the ⁠
"Isle Lip Balm" in clear. Lovely, shiny, long lasting lip gloss moisture and an SPF 30! This stays in my bag & goes with me everywhere this summer.⁠
⁠
The other, on the right, never leaves my bedside. It's the "Deepwater Lip Mask" and what I use at bedtime every night. I truly believe it has made a difference in the plumpness and moisturisation of my lips.⁠ ⁠
⁠
If this company isn't on your radar yet, I suggest you check them out.!⁠
⁠
 Available on @cayskin website and @Sephora.⁠

😅 Haven't posted in such a long time! I haven't 😅 Haven't posted in such a long time! I haven't fallen off the face of the earth but 2021 was the hardest year ever. Lots of stress, anxiety, grief and adjustments. But I'm still standing! We've welcomed my mom into our home and all I can say is to all the caregivers out there, YOU ROCK!
