Grace Rose Farms ~ Rose Water Spray

/in /by

Good Morning Everyone,

What a week it has been. So much going on in the news and in my city. I am looking forward to a calm weekend.

 

I recently shared on my Youtube channel that I ordered a bottle of the Garden of Grace Rosewater spray. Let me say that the packaging alone was worth the purchase!

As I mentioned on my channel I believe this company wants the opening of the package to be an experience as well.

 

 

 

For those of us who love pink and flowers, this scent, and packaging are the epitome of femininity. It is everything you want in elegance.

 

 

I admire the time and dedication that they put into the scent and the packaging. You can tell that everything was thought through and well-executed!

 

 

I hope you all can experience this wonderful product. The scent is very light and smells just like their roses when it drys. Keep an eye out for future discounts and opportunities to order! I know I now want the perfume and candle. We will see! Thanks for reading!

My Purse Essentials During Covid

/4 Comments/in , /by

Good Morning,


The Covid saga continues. With numbers rises it makes you wonder if we will have a second quarantine. I hope not. I try to make sure that I do my part but you can’t control people (nor do I think we should) or their actions. 


I just wanted to share what I have in my purse while I run errands around my city. 



Here lately I have been carrying my quilted handbag (sorry it’s no longer available) around to run errands. It is still so chic.

I managed to get everything I need inside and it works quite well. 

Right now these are the contents of my handbag. I have my clutch which carries, my makeup, lip care, brush, mirror, hand sanitizer spray,  body spray, my wallet, sunglasses, and this Coach drawstring dust bag.

The Coach drawstring dust bag carries all my Covid essentials. This dust bag came with my wallet when I purchased it. I have about 6 of these. I always keep them. 
I have my rubber gloves, my face masks, and french lavender hand sanitizer spray in my dust bag. 

I adore this hand sanitizer spray from Bath and Body Works. It doesn’t dry out my hands, it smells marvelous, and I can use it to spray my shopping cart when I feel sort of squeamish. 

My husband even loves my hand sanitizer spray. He goes on and on about how good it smells. They have other scents if you are interested. 


I hope this post gave you some simple ideas about how to carry your items with you. I never thought in a million years that I would be carrying a face mask in my purse. It’s amazing how the world changes so fast. 


Enjoy your day.

Rose ~ Soft Lip Cream

/in , /by

Good Morning,


I hope everyone had a great holiday. We kept things simple. We grilled some steaks, corn, hotdogs, and hamburgers. I cut up a watermelon, made baked beans, chips and we had ice cream. A very simple day. It was so hot this weekend and we are not expected to get any rain for days now. 


I hate the summer but I try to make the most of it. I also went through my house and took note of things that need to be done. I went through my closet again and donated lots of clothes to the Goodwill. 


It’s always nice to have an orderly closet. I also made a few purchases this week which I plan on sharing soon. The first is this lovely rose lip cream from Fresh.

I have been “stalking” this on Instagram for quite some time now. It just looked so beautiful and I love anything to do with roses. 

I ordered my lip cream from Instagram and got free shipping!
It comes in a beautiful blush container and it is quite a large size! I was so pleased when I opened the box. 

It is a wonderful cream and I have been wearing it for a week. I love it! The scent is very light so you won’t be overwhelmed with roses. 

The Fresh Company always has great products and I have never been disappointed by one. I hope you can grab a container to try. It is quite elegant. 


Enjoy!

A Little Hair Assistance

/2 Comments/in , /by

Good Morning Everyone,


Sorry for the no-post on Wednesday. I am working from home but have been swamped lately! It’s a good thing no worries. 


I hope everyone is doing well. We are happy to hear that our numbers here in Indiana are dropping but not fast enough to lift the stay at home order. No worries, I’d rather be safe than sorry. I am just really concerned about certain businesses. Especially small business owners. I couldn’t imagine the pressure and stress right now. 


Okay, enough heavy stuff. I wanted to share this great little item. Of course, I found it on the Liketoknowit app. and they are called Chloven Makeup Facial Headbands.

I follow Julia Marrero on the Liketoknowit app. and she shared these great little headbands to use for your nightly routine. 

Oh my…. is that me with no makeup or lashes? It is …. all smiles though. Now mine looks a little different and they have a lot of lint when you take them out of the packaging but they work great and I have been using them for about a week. Let me know in the comments section below if you are using some sort of headband for your nightly routines. 

I hope you all enjoyed this post and enjoy your weekend. We are expecting SNOW here in northern Indiana. I hope it stays north!!!  My husband and I have a tarp over my peonies. I hope they don’t freeze.

Fingers crossed!

Honeysuckle- A New Scent

/2 Comments/in , /by

Good Morning Everyone,


I still can’t believe our daughter is 15! It’s quite incredible that these years are flying by. Goodness…. well if you read my blog post on Monday then you would know that I visited Pier 1 this weekend. 


Not only did I pick up those beautiful Moody Bloom Salad plates which are now on sale, but I also took a look at their home scents. 

I took a peek and smelled the blue hydrangea. It was good but I was not in love with it. 

Then I found the Honeysuckle and that smelled wonderful to me. I purchased the reed diffuser and I have placed it next to my bed so that while I read and when I wake up, I can smell it. 

It has notes of lilac, lily, and magnolia. It is quite lovely and a wonderful way to wake up in the morning. If you have a Pier 1 nearby I would recommend that you go by and take a look at the store. It is filled with beautiful home inspiration. 



Have a wonderful day!

Trying Probiotics

/5 Comments/in , /by

Good Morning Everyone,


I recently shared the vitamins that I am taking and the recent appointments that I have scheduled. I did go and see the vein/ leg specialist and they found NOTHING wrong with my veins. That is a good thing. I have no idea why it hurts sometimes but I won’t let the crazy thoughts bother me anymore. 


I was talking with my supervisor recently about probiotics. Now I have seen lots of commercials about these but did not know much. I also just watched a video on YouTube where Will Smith and his family just had blood tests taken to try to find answers as to why they are having stomach issues. 


It was such a fascinating video. The doctor in that video also discussed probiotics and how everyone had leaky gut and how that would help so that got me thinking. Maybe I should give these a try. 


Now I have been taking them for two weeks and my stomach issues have calmed down a bit. I was encouraged to take the entire bottle for 30 days then wait and see. 


So my question to you guys is this, have any of you taken probiotics for more than 30 days and if so what were your results? Please share. I really want to know. 


Thanks for reading!

A New Scent ~ Tiffany

/2 Comments/in , /by

It’s Friday and we have a holiday on Monday. I am always grateful for these small breaks. Having moments away from the office is good for the soul. 


I was talking with a friend recently and we were discussing scents. That’s when I realized that I had completely forgotten to share my new Tiffany Perfume that I received for Christmas.

Now I will be honest, I am not in love with it. I actually liked the Tiffany & Love scent better. I think it’s the black currant and grapefruit notes in it. 

It’s still a beautiful scent and maybe it will grow on me. I don’t know. It has happened before. I kept a scent and a few years later I loved it. I think it’s all about growing older. 

I hope you all enjoy your long weekend if you get one and if so can you share some of your weekend plans. Anyone doing anything fun?
