FRIDAY EVE FAVORITES – JANUARY-MAY Edition

Can we just agree to give some grace by overlooking that these favorites cover 5 months? Thank you – grace back at you. We have one Darling graduating next week and I spend all my time just gazing at him, which leaves little time for anything else. Here are a few things saving my life right now….

Hangover Pillow Balm

I’ve literally tried every single thing on the market for dry lips and this was the best I found. It goes on more like a lip gloss than a balm, but I absolutely can’t do without it. When I had Invisalign Braces for the past year, my lips were constantly chapped, this was the only solution that worked.

The Always Pan

Meet your new best friend…The Always Pan. It replaces your frying pan, sauté pan, steamer, skillet, saucepan, non-stick pan, spatula, and spoon rest. My family thought I was crazy when purchasing it, but soon jumped on the bandwagon…even the Chef in the house loves it. It is TRULY non-stick, super easy cleanup, but most importantly TEENAGE BOY PROOF. The Always Pan comes in several colors, I opted for the Steam option.

Oligo Professionnel Blacklight Violet Shampoo

My hair has a huge tendency to turn brassy. I add a little of this to my handful of shampoo every wash to keep the highlights bright. It’s been a constant for years. Love. It.

Takes The Cake, Desserts By Melany

Let’s be honest, I love desserts of any and most kinds. But, I’ve never understood the love people have for wedding cake…until now. Takes The Cake version of this flavor, Wedding Bells, is absolutely delicious! She has a ton of other flavors and desserts that are equally amazing! For those local to Waco, you can like/follow her facebook page and order from there!

Rhonda Allison Cucumber Spritz – Compromised Barrier

My esthetician was noticing that my skin wasn’t absorbing moisture, therefore was in the vicious cycle of being dry, oily, and stressed. As sexy as that sounds, she recommended liberally spraying my face with this cucumber spritz and then rubbing two pumps of this Hyaluronic Serum in every evening. It has been a game changer! In the morning, I do the same spritz with one pump of a Vitamin C/ Stem Cell combo. If you are local to Waco, contact Brandy with Birch Skin to chat about your skin needs. But don’t book her up, her fans wouldn’t be happy with me. Only request skin care info. 😉

The Lazy Genius

There were several no brainers for me in this book, but just as I was about to stop reading, she would say something profound that would make me reevaluate. I’ve streamlined a lot of life, tasks, and chores with the Lazy Genius Way. Definitely worth the read, I just wish it would have been written 20 years ago!

Handheld Mini Fan 

We live in the South, where summer is 17 months long and hotter than Satan’s oven. This little fan is rechargeable. It is small but powerful enough to use at sporting events.

Time with Girlfriends….

Let’s be honest, a good girlfriend is the biggest lifesaver. Spend time with your life-giving friends. Also be one. Life is short and friendships are important. Some say matching pajamas aren’t necessary, but they are wrong and rude. (Looking at you Handsome Hubs)

Happy May Friends!

Wishing all you Momma’s a strong finish to the school year. Just throw all the papers away and head to the pool.
