Thicken and Lengthen Your Eyelashes


I have short thin eyelashes, so when I had the chance to test out an eyelash serum, I was all over it!!

I have never used anything like this before. It has a super thin soft pointed applicator. I used it as directed, twice a day applying it to the eyelid at the eyelash line. It is very easy to apply. and goes on very smoothly.  It did feel a bit strange and I was concerned about it getting into my eyes.  

I have only been using it for 9 days and I honestly can't see any difference at this point. I do plan to continue using it until the bottle is empty. The company says that it is a 30 day supply. They also state that lashes will become thicker, healthier and longer in about 3 - 4 weeks.

Check it out on Amazon.

I LOVE my new Jeweled Gel Pens!!


I love gel pens. They glide across the paper so smoothly. They seem to write on their own. 

This set of jewelescent gel pens goes a set further by giving them a shiny jeweled look. 

They are beautiful! 

There are 48 glorious gel pens in this set! The options seem endless in this set! There is your classic blues and blacks. Then we get fancy with glittery colors like gold and silvery. Of course your neon and pastels. But what really rocked my world? The swirl colors! WHAT!!?? Yes, they are so cool, as you write you can see the colors transition from one to the next.

They dry super fast, almost as quickly as you put it on the paper.

They do come in a stack of four trays. I suppose you could store them in there but I dumped mine in a box. I like to be able to get my hands on the one I need quickly and easily. I also need to be able to get them put away quickly and easily!

Check them out on Amazon..

Portion Control Just got Simpler!!


This is such a great set of containers for portion control!! 


They are color coded - brilliant!

  • Green is for veggies = 1 cup
  • Purple is for fruit = 1 cup
  • Red is for proteins  = 3/4 cup
  • Yellow is for carbs = 1/2 cup
  • Blue is for healthy fats = 1/3 cup
  • Orange is for nuts seeds and dressings = 2 tbsp

Honestly, it makes controlling what you eat simple! Keeps things in perspective when you can easily see and control how much of each category your packing.

In addition to how fabulous they are for portion control, the colors are super bright and cheerful! I love the colors!

These containers are BPA free, DEHP free and dishwasher and microwave safe!

The seals are great, no need to worry about spillage!


This is also a great set for packing the kiddos lunches. They are the perfect size for their lunchboxes.  

AND, they store inside of each other!! I love that!

Therapy? NAH, I've got my colored pencils, I'm good!


I enjoy drawing and coloring with my kiddos. Its such a relaxing and calming activity. 


When I saw this set by US Art Supply, I had to have it!

This is an artist grade colored pencil set with 50 pencils!  It induces a plastic carrying case which I'm not all that into. Its just to big and hard to deal with so I dumped the pencils in a box for easier access and storage. 

These pencils come sharpened. The colors are awesome! Since they are wax-based colors they are very bold.

Overall, this is a great set with tons of variations in shades an color choices. 

These are great for the kiddos and the big kiddos!

Check out the Newest Snake Shape Hose!!


Can you EVER have enough hoses? No, the answer is no!

This hose by Ohuhu has a completely different feel than the other expandable hoses that I have used in the past. It seems to expand quicker that the other expandable hoses that I have used. I love that it is lightweight and easy to handle. I can't stand lugging around the other hoses and winding them back up. I have no patience for it! This one shrinks down and I can quickly and easily put it away.

They are calling it "2016 newest snake shape design". The shape is suppose to decrease friction and wear between the outer and inner hose to prolong the life of the hose.

Empty the hose is only 33 feet. Fully expanded it grows to 100 feet. 

The fittings are solid brass and include seals. I have not had any signs of leakage anywhere.

They also include a sprayer. Its a pretty nice sprayer too. My main use is the jet feature to spray off our patio. I use it everyday and the pressure is pretty great.

Check it out on Amazon.

Daddy needs a new ping pong paddle!


Table Tennis anyone!?


We recently got a ping pong table, I have to tell you, on CraigsList. Wait for it.....for $25! Its a full size competitive ping pong table! It was quite a day! Sad for the guy selling it. He had it set up in his dinning room. Apparently a divorce situation. His realtor told him he HAD to sell it! Oh, well...


We needed paddles! Check out what I found on Amazon!! These are lightweight for intermediate or advanced beginner. They are built for speed. 

We are neither advanced beginners or intermediate. We are, well whats before beginner?

The paddles are nice. They seem to be really well made and solid.  They fit well in your hand. They look nice.

Watch out world, we will be starting our ping pong world tour in the next year or two.

Check it out on Amazon.

What a FABULOUS set of storage baskets!

I love having baskets, I have baskets and bins all over the house. Some are for storing and I admit it, some are for hiding! Hey, there are things that just never seem to find a "home" so they end up "living" in a random basket. I guess they are like junk drawers in a way!

I really like these storage baskets by Ohuhu. One is 10x9, which is kind of on the small side. I have it on the stairs and use it for random toys that wind up downstairs and need to go back upstairs. The larger of the two is 16.5 x 13 and nearly 10 tall! Its a great basket! That sucker holds a LOT! I haven't decided where to use it yet, I don't want to waste all of that glorious space!!


I really like the way they look. They are very natural looking. The handles are sewn on and seem to be very sturdy.

I don't like that there is no reinforcement on the sides to hold them up. So, if they are empty, they droop over. Its sad looking. I feel like they should have wire or something to support the sides.

There are 108 beads and each bead is 8 mm. 

I love the way these beads feel in my hand. They are great to use while meditating.
