Take the kids to school Pick them up after school Take them to practice Pick them up from practice Errands Appointments Shopping Drive Thru meals Travel Our van smelled like a locker room, a fast food restaurant, and mud. I would park the car in the garage and put all the windows down to air it out. Then I thought what if there were mice in the garage? They might get in the car since the windows were open!

Do you want a skincare routine that evens out your skin tone?  I found Lancôme DreamTone  to do just that. DreamTone® evens out my skin, covers up dark spots, (do I have those yet?), color imperfections, like redness, and  blemish marks. It's "The Customized Skin Tone Correcting Serum". I used Lancôme DreamTone  in the fair skin tone. My mission was to use it for four weeks, once or twice a day.  I started the morning with DreamTone and in the evening under my night time moisturizer.  The serum has a really nice refreshing fragrance. The serum is light, smooth, and cool. It's easy to apply, and has good coverage for one pump of the bottle.   I have fair skin, lots of freckles, and need to even my skin tone out a bit. I took a handful of photos of myself, but it's still hard to see the difference on my skin, but up close in real life I can see the difference of the DreamTone  side and the side without DreamTone,   ...

When I was in college I took a lot of conservation classes for my major. I enjoyed learning about the earth, the people of the world, and conservation. I learned all kinds of facts and figures on how much natural resource people consume everyday, how much trash we generate, and ways to conserve natural resources.  my books from college on our book shelf in our "library" room at home  At the time I was in college recycling was not really heard of for consumers. We did not have curb side recycling, we were not required to recycle anything, ever.  I took it upon my self to find a drop off place for glass, plastic, aluminum and paper that could be recycled from my parents house while I was still in college. I probably used more gas in the bigger than a yacht station wagon we had getting to the drop off site, but at least I felt I was doing my part. Now cars are more environmentally friendly, recycling is required, and conservation is a household word. Isnt' that wonderful! I...

The older I get, the more I am looking at my face. Looking for those tiny lines, those dark circles, and dry skin patches. I don't wear a lot of make up, however I like to look like I am awake when I should be. My fair skin could use some beauty help-L'OREAL Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream gives my face all over coverage for perfecting those areas that need to be hydrated and evened out.  I applied the cream earlier this morning. It goes one smoothly, covers my skin, and later when I looked at my face again it looks great! Even skin tone, and smooth skin. Here is the BB cream on a small bowl to show how easy it is to apply to your skin.         There are little  beads in the cream, you can see  them when you apply it to your fingertips, but not when you apply the cream.  The beads smoth out as you apply the cream. The beads are encapsulated with pigment that blends into your skins tone.  The BB cream also has anti...

that's the sunshine on the towel There is a pile of laundry somewhere in my house, all the time. I could wash all day, walk upstairs and find another heap of laundry. I give up, I am defeated by the dirty clothes. This is a photo of my Christmas Tree skirt, towels, shirts, and more towels. Why in the world would I be washing the tree skirt? It's  been claimed by our cat for the month of December as his blanket under the tree. To pack it away for the year I best wash it, don't you think? I have been washing all our clothes in cold water for years. One day long ago I just decided to use cold water, all the time. Back in the day of powdered laundry detergent I would find clumps of undissolved powder in the washing machine drum. Thanks to all the laundry detergent makers, liquid laundry soap began to find it's place on more and more store shelves. P&G recently introduced Tide® laundry soap just for cold water use. Cool,  I'll buy that. Why use Tide ®  For COLDWA...

The buzzing and beeping of alarm clocks in the morning are not my cup of tea. My kids have their phones set to play some loud crazy music to wake them up in the morning. I don't even bother setting an alarm, I hear theirs, not by choice.  How nice would it be to be woken up without alarms?  Without the noise? Naturally? Yes, please. You can choose from 20 different brightness settings with  Philips ® Wake-Up Light .  Set the Wake-Up light for the time you need to be awake. The light increases gradually over 30 minutes  before  the alarm time.  As the light increases you body is gently getting ready to wake up. So much nicer than beep beep beep or crazy loud music. The Wake -Up light does have a radio or nature sounds if you like to wake to soothing sounds. These cold nights and cozy blankets make it hard to get out of bed in the morning.  It is still dark when I am getting out of bed in the AM  and the last thing I want is a harsh ...
