Readers.com has been one of my favorite sites, for years.  They have top quality, cheap glasses.  All you need to know is the strength of the glasses you need.  They can do the rest.  You pick out the style and color you like, and tell them your strength, that’s it. The Jack Bifocal Sun Reader I use nearly every day.  I love this pair of glasses.  I wear them in the car, mostly.  The power, for the Jack, goes up to 3.5, and you will be able to wear these out in the sun. These sport sun readers really are the jack of all trades. The rimless lenses have a bottom inner bifocal portion for close range viewing and a non-magnified top area allowing you to easy see near and far. The Zeek Bifocal Sun Reader I gave to my dad, who wears the same strength as I do.  He has them in his vehicle and wears them on business trips. A sporty look with functional lenses makes the perfect combo. The Zeek has an inner magnified bifocal and an unmagnified upper portion allowing you to keep these on for all purposes. The Beau I also received.   These glasses I have on…

My 20 year old, daughter, loves Mangiacotti Whipped Body Wash.  She said it leaves her feeling extra clean, and she even uses it to shave.  She said the whipped feeling gets deep down in, and leaves her feeling sparkling good.  I’ve tried it, as well, and love it too.  I agree with her 100%.  And, agree that our fans have to try this.  We received the Ocean scent, and it is great.

I love the PawPrints Desk Frame.  My daughter’s dog is getting older, and what a way to remember her, when she passes.  The frame is sturdy, and solid.  Really nice.  It was easy to make the Paw print, as well.  The only thing, it had to dry for 48 hours.  But, as you can see, pictured below, it turned out beautiful.

We sat down, last night, to watch Disney/Pixar’s Coco. It’s a really great movie.  My 6 year old never took his eyes off of the television.  I didn’t expect Coco to be so intriguing.   It kept all of our attention.  The deeper into the movie we got, the more interesting the movie became.   In Disney•Pixar’s extraordinary adventure, a boy who dreams of becoming a great musician embarks on a journey to uncover the mysteries behind his ancestor’s stories and traditions. Coco is a family film, that can be watched, and loved, by your entire family.  Gramma loved it just as much as Jacob.  I even bought it for a special little girl, in my sister in law’s life.  She is going to love receiving it, in her Easter Basket. The digital copy is amazing.  There’s so much detail to the movie.  I really loved all the colors, and action.  This Cartoon Movie is the Best! Starring Anthony Gonzalez, Gael García Bernal Supporting actors Benjamin Bratt, Alanna Ubach, Renee Victor, Jaime Camil, Alfonso Arau, Herbert Siguenza, Gabriel Iglesias, Lombardo Boyar, Ana Ofelia Murguía, Natalia Cordova-Buckley, Selene Luna, Edward James Olmos, Sofía Espinosa, Carla Medina, Dyana Ortelli, Luis Valdez, Blanca Araceli, Salvador…

John Paul Pet Products is a brand we’ve used for years.  We love how it makes our pet feel, and smell.  We recently got a new puppy, 6 months old now, and she loves John Paul Products.  She goes crazy after she’s bathed in them.  And, Belle feels so soft and she is so loving, after being bathed with John Paul Pet Products. For this bath, we started with the Oatmeal Shampoo (sensitive skin formula), and Belle stood there, proud to be bathed in John Paul Products.  It didn’t burn her, or itch her, and she felt so soft after her bath.  We try to only bath her in sensitive skin shampoos, since she is still a puppy. What it does Gently cleanses while soothing dry skin and coats. How it works With aloe, chamomile, and hydrolyzed oat protein, it cleanses without irritation. We finished up with the spray on Conditioner.   She was so soft, and cuddly.  I could bath her every day, but I just spray her with the leave on conditioner, once a day, and it leaves her feeling so soft.  We love this formula, and will be using it again and again. What it does Soothes, conditions, and moisturizes…

Nutter Puffs are so amazing.  They make my taste buds go crazy.  I think my entire family is addicted to them.  Ever since we tried them, we’ve not stopped.  We look for them everywhere we go.  And, so far, we’ve found them at Albertsons and Safeway. They are little bites of deliciousness, in every serving.  I can’t remember anything being this good, recently.  I know what my newest addiction is. Nutter Puffs are Non GMO, and Gluten Free.  This is a great combination.  There are a variety of flavors, my favorite being the Chocolate Peanut Butter. The picture above is perfectly correct.  “Peanut Butter Perfected”.  Nutter Puffs are so delicious, I’m eating them right now. They are made by Pop Chips, which is a great brand.  Pop Chips are healthy, and so easy to eat the entire bag.  They don’t have that greasy feel, that potato chips have.  And, are just all together better for you. ingredients:peanut butter, yellow corn, peanut flour. contains:peanuts You can tell by the ingredients, that they are pure.  Not modified stuff that’s no good for you.  It’s a sweet snack, as well.  But, just made with natural products. checkout our backside get more for your…
