This Frugal Family

We love Sun Tail Mermaid, and Shark, tails.  They are amazing.  My 6 year old, son, loves the shark.  While my 20 year old, daughter, loves the Mermaid.  These are going to make the Holidays so much more fun, when we gift them to their cousins.  We bought a set of each, for Jacob & Sarah, and another set of each for their two favorite cousins.   The above video, is a great feature for Sun Tail Mermaid Tails.  You really need to watch it, if you haven’t yet.  Every kid, or young adult, will love Sun Tails.  They are just fabulous. I was going to wait, and give Jacob his for Christmas.  Then, his father reminded me that he was going to a pool party, so he could try it out.  He never took it off.  He loved it so much. Also, there are a variety of colors, so you can pick your child’s favorite color, and they’ll love it even more.  Green is Jacob’s favorite color, and pink is Sarah’s.  So it’s a no brainer on the two I got for my kids.  However, their cousins, we weren’t sure of, so we just picked two other colors, so…

I have a newfound love.  It’s for Fox Chapel Publishing.  Their Christmas Coloring books are amazing.  Between my 6 year old, and 20 year old, I don’t know who is having more fun. Santa’s Kitty Helpers is so cute, and I love the pages.  My 6 year old is having so much fun with this book.  He and my daughter, 20 year old, Sarah, share the book.  We take the pages out, and when they are colored I hang them on the fridge. If you love cats and you love Christmas, get ready for hours of relaxing creativity! The expressive-eyed furry friends depicted in the artistry of acclaimed illustrator Kayomi Harai have a wonderful way of capturing hearts. Now her delightful felines are even melting Santa’s heart in this adorable Christmas coloring book.

As soon as I received the Hard Candy Just Glow Rose Gold Highlighter, my 20 year old stated claims on it.  I’m so disappointed.  It was going to be a great thing for my mother, but my daughter wanted it, and ended up with it. This Rose Gold Highlighter looks so good on my daughter.  It really brings out her eyes.  I love the way it looks on her, and she has never had such a radiance to her skin. There are three beautiful colors, in the palette, that can be combined or used separately.  My daughter mixes them.  She has this special feel to her skin now. You can get Hard Candy, exclusively, at Walmart. Features of the Palette, include: Creamy all over powder highlighter offers skin an ultra-reflective glow Inspired by a sunset, the rose gold hue blends smoothly onto skin and instantly flatters all skin tones Use the three shades individually or mix together to create one gorgeous shade You will love the Rose Gold Highlighter, by Hard Candy, as much as my 20 year old.  I’m sure of it.

We love Hickies!  My 6 year old doesn’t know how to tie shoes yet, and with Hickies, that’s okay. Hickies are these incredibly cool looking plastic tabs that go on your shoes, in place of the laces.  Jacob can now wear lace up shoes, anytime he wants, because Hickies make it easy. Last year for Christmas, Jacob’s sister got him the coolest shoes, only thing was, they had laces, and no non lace things worked.  Hickies would’ve been great, and now we have several packs of Hickies for this purpose. You, too, will love Hickies, whether for you or your child.  My mother in law now uses Hickies.  She says it saves her from bending over to tie her shoes.  She loves them, and they are so stylish, on a 60 something woman.  And, my 6 year old loves them, because he can’t tie shoes.  So, to him, the are the perfect little trick.

We love the new Kitchen Scale here.  I’m sure you will love it too. The kitchen scale runs by battery, and it so small, it’ll fit on your countertop, between other products.  I love it, and so does my husband.  He measures all of our foods, because we are on diets.  This was the perfect time for this product to come into our lives.
