Divaderme cosmetics are so great.  I gave this product to my mother in law, who has very thinning eye lashes.  This is due to health problems, but she uses her Divaderme every day.  She loves it.  She says she feels like her lashes are fuller, when she has it on. I was sent the Fiber Wings Mascara II, which is a clear mascara that seems to give the lashes a lift.  I was also sent Lash Extender II, which she agrees, definitely makes the lashes appear longer.  My mother in law says she’s been looking for a product like this, since 2010, when she was diagnosed with cancer.  She has super thinning hair, every where.  So this makes her feel more beautiful than she already is. The following is for the Lash Extender II: PRODUCT FEATURES Instantly lengthen and volumize lashes up to 1000%. Create full, lush lashes without harsh chemicals or artificial ingredients. Instant gratification with long-term benefits all in one bottle. Safe for contact lens wearers. Divaderme also has other makeup, like a brow extender.  We didn’t get to try this out, but she would’ve loved it, as well.  She says she will be purchasing it, soon.  You can…

The Curious Creamery recently sent me a sample back of their Birthday Cake (Ice Cream Cake) mix.  It’s so delicious. I made it the other day for my Father In Law’s Birthday.  It was so delightful to bight into something so creamy, and yummy.  My father in law really enjoyed his cake.  My mother in law was in aww, and that’s not something she is in often.  She couldn’t believe how rich and creamy this cake really was. The Curious Creamery Ice Cream Cake Mix offers you a fun and easy way to make a delicious and premium-quality frozen ice cream cake at home – no ice cream machine required!

The Sedhoom Milk Frother is amazing.  It works great, and makes my milk bubbly every time.  I’ve used it when guests have been over, and they love how the milk doubles.  I’ve even added a drop of Vanilla to my milk, to make the Froth taste like Vanilla.  This is perfect for every cup of coffee that you make. I love frothed milk.  I have a cappuccino maker, and it has a frother on it, but it uses the steam to make the froth.  This is so much easier, and works in seconds. The Sedhoom Foam Maker comes with 2 heads.  It has a 1 spring, or 2 springs.  I use the two.  It’s so nice to be able to froth milk with every cup of coffee.  I use a metal cup, that has a spout, and I froth away. You, too, will love this Frother. Information about the milk frother: NOISE REDUCTION: Low noise, high efficiency. Foam maker for coffee. UPGRADED DESIGN: With a double spring whisk head, more powerful and efficient to work. A nice coffee frother. EASY TO USE: Simply press the button on the top once, the item starts working. No need to hold the button…

My 6 year old, son, loves the Good 2 Grow Drinks.  Even my 20 year old, daughter, loves Good 2 Grow.  They loved drinking the juice, and the characters on top.  There is a variety of characters, as well as, flavors. As a matter of fact, we are out of Good 2 Grow, and my son just asked for some more.  So, off to the store I will go today, to pick up some more. Apple Juice helps my son to move his bowels, and that’s a plus, because he has a hard time moving them.  So, I will be buying lots of Apple Juice today.  The other flavor, loved here, was the Fruit Punch.  They sucked the two Fruit Punch Drinks down. The characters are an added plus.  They love the characters on top of the bottles.  Jacob loved the Paw Patrol, while Sarah loved the Care Bears.  If you go to the store, you can even find Princesses and more.  Make sure you look for Good 2 Grow the next time you are out. good2grow serves up nutrition with simple ingredients, no sugar added and nothing artificial. 2,200 reviews with an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 prove…

Strawberry Month May was Strawberry Month.  And, we celebrated Strawberry Month with Sparkling Ice, and Welch’s Strawberry Fruit Snacks. I LOVE Strawberries.  I don’t know about you, but this is the perfect time of the year to have them.  I even have my 6 year old, son, hooked on them.  He loves Welch’s Fruit Snacks, and Sparkling Ice; but being that there is Strawberry flavors, he loves them even more.  My daughter, age 20, has been downing the Sparkling Ice.  She loves the Strawberry Lemonade.  I, myself, love Sparkling Ice, as well; but I have not been able to get my hands on any.  The kids are drinking it too fast.  It’s that good.

The Small Batch Baking cookbook is wonderful.  If you are only cooking for 1, or 2, it’s perfect for you. My daughter is thinking of moving out, she’s almost 20, so I’ve let her claim possession of the cookbook.  She and her boyfriend will really need it, and since it’s just the two of them, it’s perfect.  Portion control will be easy to deal with, since it’s for 1, or 2, cooking. This Small Batch Baking book is so satisfying.  Sarah has already made her boyfriend several treats out of it, and she is really doing a good job.  We get to taste test, to make sure it’s worthy of giving to Josh.  It always is. Brownies, cookies, muffins, cakes and pies fresh from the oven are the ultimate comfort food. Whether you’re a novice or long‑time baker, these mouth-watering recipes will help you appreciate just how easy baking can be. I, myself, love Key Lime, and what better to have than Key Lime Coconut Macaroons?  This recipe is so easy to make, and so delicious.  Sarah made them, and they didn’t make it to Josh. If you don’t have much storage space, like us, these recipes are perfect.  We…

1byone has been one of my favorite brands for a while.  So, when I saw that they had one of those Aluminum Alloy Outside Christmas Light Projectors, I had to get one. It is so cool.  You can have solid green lights, solid red lights, or multi color, between the two colors.  My dad likes it on all green, so that is what it’s set on.  I prefer the all red, so I change it, when I get the chance, but it always seems to get changed back.  But, he is my dad, so I kind of let him have his way.  The multi colored is beautiful as well. I’ve tried leading brands, of this light, but this one is the best I’ve found, but it’s no surprise, since 1byone makes it.  You will be completely satisfied.  Last year, it took two of the leading brand lights to do my entire front of the house.  This year, one of 1byone, and the house is stunning. 1byone also has a lot of other great products, you can use for gifts, this Holiday Season.  For my daughter, Sarah’s birthday, we got her a record player, that is 1byone.  She loves it.  Uses…

Baby Magic is so great.  Smells so decadent. I love using Baby Magic on 5 year old, Jacob.  It’s not just for babies.  It’s for big boys, and girls, too.  Jacob loves the scent.  He says he smells so fresh after bathing in Baby Magic.  He loves it. My favorite product is the No Rinse Wash.  If we are in a hurry to go somewhere, and Jacob has been busy playing, we can just take a squirt of No Rinse Wash, and wipe him down.  He smells like he just came out of the tub.  It’s so wonderful for this item to have come to the light.  I hadn’t heard of it, until now. “Baby Magic No-Rinse Wash is your on the go solution to keeping your baby clean, fresh and smelling great. Our baby wash is specially formulated for baby’s sensitive skin and the self-foaming application allows you to clean your baby without using water. Now you can keep your baby clean even when you are away from home.” The Original Hair and Body Wash is great, when giving him a full bath.  He loves the feel, and that it doesn’t burn his eyes, when rinsing his hair.  He…

We put up the Video Doorbell a couple of weeks ago.  And, we love it.  Not only do we know when someone is at the door, but can see their picture. This is so great.  Sarah, my 18 year old daughter, loves knowing if the door is for her.  And, we love finding out if it’s a solicitor before answering it. I love the video doorbell so much, it’s easy to see if the door is for who.  That person now goes to answer the door, and can stop any confusion. 1byone is a great company, with a lot of great products.  Check out their official site, listed below, to get more information.
