Hello friends and happy Friday. I guess I am happy it’s Friday. My vacation is winding down. It has been a fun week. We didn’t do our beach vacation but we did get some much needed things done around the house and had fun just hanging out together. My sister and I had a shopping trip yesterday and lunch and that was a lot of fun. We also got together with my niece and a friend earlier in the week.

I have some favorites of mine I would like to share with you. You may have tried some of these or are using them. Let me know if you have or do and what you think.

First of all is my new reading glasses that I got at the Dollar Tree. They weren’t a dollar they were actually a dollar and twenty five cents. But aren’t they cute!!! I have a pair in every room of the house now. HA!!!!

I got this Glyconic Acid Toner at T.J. Maxx. My sister and I did some shopping yesterday. I like to try new things from T.J. Maxx because they are relatively inexpensive and it is a good way to test products without spending a fortune. I have only used this twice but it really made my skin feel so fresh. It also has a fresh clean smell.

I always thought that L.A. Colors was a cheap no good makeup brand. I never really bothered looking at their products but I have to say I have been impressed by this eye makeup. You can buy this at Walmart and again not a huge investment to try out some new colors. I couldn’t believe how well this shadow lasted all day. Compared to some I have used and spent much more money on I am very happy with it.

Yummy Sea Salt caramels. I love Carmels. I got these at T.J. Maxx yesterday. You know how they have all those impulse items when you are waiting in the check out line. I saw these and just had to have them. A good size bag for only $4.99. I am very impulsive.

I have seen these slides all over social media. There are several different brands I loved the look and they come in so many different colors. I wasn’t sure I wanted to spend $25.00 on a pair. So I saw these at Walmart a couple of weeks ago for $11.99. They were on clearance. I looked at them but I knew I didn’t really need them. Last week I was in Walmart and they were marked down to $9.00 and such a variety of colors. Of course what do I choose but black. But I do have a reason for this. I plan to wear them when it gets cooler with some of my colorful socks I have knitted. Yep I am that person. I do plan on returning to Walmart, where they may have been reduced even more, and grab a blue and a pink or yellow pair. They are so comfy.

Have you tried this Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix. I used it several years ago and then sort of forgot about it. I bought a box last week at the grocery store and made them last Sunday for dinner. A couple of things I had forgotten from last time. Use twice the amount of Cheddar cheese and add a little more water. They are so yummy.

I love using this sponge for my foundation makeup. If you don’t use a sponge it may take a little getting used to but once you do you will love it. I always use this type of sponge. I think it makes your makeup application so much smoother.

And finally two books I finished last week. The first one, 28 Summers, by Elin Hilderbrand. I think I could read anything by this woman and love it. I have read everything by her except The Hotel Nantucket which will be my next one. This book 28 Summers was so good I could’t stop reading it. I found myself picking it up every time I had a spare moment. One thing I loved about it at the beginning of each summer there would be recap of what was going on in the world at that time. That brought back a lot of memories.

The Forever Summer was an audio book. I just finished it a couple of days ago. It was very good. A little slow in places but I would still recommend it.

These are some of my favorites this week. But my most favorite of course is my little Scruffy. Today is National Dog Day and I have to share him with you. He is doing as well as can be expected with his heart issues. It breaks my heart to see the changes in him. We will love him as long as we can and cherish every moment with him.

I hope you enjoyed this list of things and may find some of them useful to you.

Always remember

Love your day your way!!!!!

Hello Friends and happy Friday. Just a few things I wanted to share with you this week. I hope you find some of these things useful.

First of all is this steamer. I have been wanting one of these for a while. When I was growing up my mama ironed everything, and I grew up doing that too. But through the years I iron very little. There are still things I take out of my closet and think, I need to iron that before I wear it. Then I have to go downstairs to my ironing board. I have always kept my ironing board set up in my laundry room even though I rarely use it now. A lot of times I just wouldn’t wear the clothes because they needed to be pressed. Now all of that has changed. I put a hook on my closet door, and I just hang the clothes there that need to be pressed and steam the wrinkle out of them.

Next is this Poreless Putty Primer by Elf. This is very light weight and I put it on with a small makeup sponge just before I put on my makeup. It is light but gives your face such a smooth even feel for applying makeup.

I guess I am all about some hair accessories right now. My hair is longer than it has been in a long time, so I am having fun with the headbands and the hair clasps like I showed you. But I just had to have these large flower hair clips. They are so much fun. They are colorful and large, and they hold a lot of hair. I keep several of these around the house and in my car. When I feel the need to put my hair up, especially if I am working in the house and get hot, or on my way to work and need to tame my hair a little, I have one handy.

I am loving these little mascara wands. These are by Equate. There is about 20 in a pack. These were $4.99 and I use them after I put my mascara on and feel the need to brush out my eyelashes. They also work well on your brows.

Have you ever tried this Power Paste? I tried it a few weeks ago. It comes with a little tub of cleaning paste. There is a scrubber that you wet and dip into the paste and it works great!!!!

These peds work great when you don’t want socks or footies showing. These are light weight and really stay in place. You can get several different colors.

You know I would have some snacks as part of my favorites this week. This popcorn is Carmel and cheddar. It is like the Chicago Popcorn that you can buy at Costco. These are smaller bags and I got them at The Dollar General Store for $3.50 a bag. Mark and I love them. It’s a pretty good sized bag. I bought every bag they had. It’s a good snack.

Some other favorites this week:

I saw a beautiful rainbow.

We celebrated my Sister’s Birthday this week with a lot of our family.

My niece came for a wonderful visit and brought her daughter. It was so wonderful spending time with them. They live in California, and I haven’t seen them in several years.

I had Sister Lunch with my Sister and another lunch with my good friend Dann.

I am making a special Birthday cake for my Sister in law for this weekend. I will take pictures.

So, lots of good things this week.

What are some of your favorites?

Always remember

Love your day your way!!!
