Healtop is a brand that I’ve recently been introduced to.  It’s so great.  My Mother In Law, and I, shared the over 45 package, and it worked wonders for our skin.  We Love Healtop, and so will you! The Mom’s Over 45 Package includes the following:  Essential products for women over the age of 45. The bundle includes 2 amazing 100% natural skin care products face and body and also the amazing natural supplement balance for women in menopause or perimenopause. This is what makes them the best products around:  Products are vegan, cruelty FREE, paraben/sls/artificial scents FREE, manufactured under GMP, HACCP, ISO9000, ISO22000. We’ve loved all of the products in this package, but there are other great packages, as well.  Including:  Infant Bundle, Toddler Bundle, Teenager Bundle, Acne Safe Kit, and The Summer Travel Kit.  All of these kits come with essential products, in their category.  They are all perfect for that age group.  I love the Mom’s Over 45 Package.  The Natural Body Cream is an excellent body cream.  Smells so fresh, and it makes my skin feel so soft.  My mother in law adores it, as well.  However, my mother in law’s favorite product, from the Over…

Did you already have an eye exam, and know what strength glasses you need.  However, the glasses are too expensive, at the eye care place?  Then, I’ve found the perfect site for you.  Readers.com has great looking glasses, at great prices.  Very inexpensive, to be exact. I recently received a few Great Pairs, for the man of the house.  He loves the styles, and they are his exact strength.  So valuable, but yet, so inexpensive.  He truly adores these glasses.  The frames are a perfect match, for his face. The Damien is his true favorite.  He said he loves that he doesn’t even feel the glasses on his face.  They are that natural.  And, I love how sexy he looks in this style.  And, the value is so much more than the actual cost.  As I said, they look fantastic on him. Right now, the Edwin, pictured directly above, is 50% off, making the glasses a remarkable $8.99.  That’s a fantastic price, for such a great pair of glasses.  Again, you can get them in your specific strength. The Baybridge is another great pair of glasses, that are only $11.99.  That’s a great price, for a pair of glasses.  And,…

My 6 year old has never built a model before, so when he received this Scooby Doo Bi Plane Plastic Model Kit, he was super excited.  He and daddy sat down about 2 days after receiving and put it together.  It’s so cute, and sitting in his room, right now. Take off into a SCOOBY-DOO spoooktacular with the Revell® Build and Play™ SCOOBY-DOO Biplane model kit. You don’t have to paint it or glue it. Just snap it together and set out into the clouds! It goes together in a ghostly shadow of the time it takes to build a conventional kit, but still looks totally groovy. Kit features pre-decorated pieces, SCOOBY-DOO, SHAGGY, and VELMA figures, spinning prop, functioning wheels, twin machine guns, and easy to apply stickers. There are plenty other models, as well, but this one is so cute, and it’s a Snap Tite Model.  If you look at the manual, found on the page tagged, you will see it’s all snap together, which would make it easy for children, Jacob’s age.  He loved doing something fun with his daddy.  They usually build stuff, but this was special, because it’s now Jacob’s to keep.  I’m going to have…

We love GourmetGiftBaskets.com, and have done business with them, plenty, in the past & present.  Their products are top quality, and always delicious. This time, we went with the Steelers Popcorn Tin.  Your favorite team is available, too.  We always save our popcorn tins, and use them for other things.  This time, I’ll be washing it out, and putting my in laws puppy’s toys in it.  They will love this.  All the toys in one place, and celebrating our Steelers. The popcorn flavors are great, there’s Kettle Corn, Carmel Corn, and Cheesy Cheddar Corn.  The Kettle (sweet and salty) is always a favorite in our house.

  We love Winc!  It’s a great Wine delivery service, and it’s super fast at getting orders out. Last month, I ordered 5 bottles of Wine, from the subscription box, and they were here in no time.  Delicious, and picked from my favorite things.  All you have to do is, go to the site, select the answers to the questions, and wala, your wine will be sent, after you pay of course.  But, the wine starts at just $13 a bottle, and is quite delicious.  My favorite bottle is pictured above.  And, on the page of each of the wines, it tells you the tastes, pairings, etc. Your information is kept on file, and every month, you will get a box of wine, until you cancel.  I’m sure you won’t cancel though, because the prices are right, and the wine is decadent.  Winc will be to you in no time flat, I think my shipment took 3 days. We drink wine for the Holidays, so this is the best subscription box around, for us.  I’d rather spend my money on a good box of wine, than any other subscription box.  My sister loves that Winc exists.  She collects wine, and drinks…

We love Jarlsberg products.  My son, age 6, ate the cheese until there was no more.  My 20 year old, daughter, ate the crackers.  I tried both, and adored them.  I will definitely be doing more business with Jarlsberg.  Since we love the products, they will be perfect to put out for our Christmas gathering. The Cheese Snacks are so yummy.  We love them the most.  My son, and daughter, take them in their lunch.  I love the chunk of cheese, so much.  It’s my favorite variety of cheese. Everyone has a story, and here’s part of their story: Jarlsberg® has grown in popularity since its international launch. It’s success lies in the secret recipe used to manufacture the cheese, the people who make it and their pride in always delivering a product with the same consistent high quality and unique taste.  To Read more, go here. These products are so delicious, you will never switch back to other cheese.  You will continue to purchase Jarlsberg, for life.  Yes, I love it that much.  And Swiss Cheese is my favorite cheese, and has been for 40 years.  So, I will continue to purchase. Also, make sure to check out the recipes…

Christmas Paper Crafting is a fantastic book.  It’s all crafts that you can do, to make Christmas more fun.  There are cards, name tags, boxes, and more.  My favorite is the name tags.  I can easily mark gifts with these fantastic, and beautifully designed name tags.  I also love the cards that can be colored.  These will make amazing cards for my 6 year old to send out. This is what’s included in the Christmas Paper Crafting Book: 50 Christmas Greeting Cards 16 Holiday Gift Tags 18 Yuletide Mini-Cards 6 Festive Bookmarks Large & Small Envelope Templates Large-Format Art Frameables 34-page Seasonal Scrapbook Paper Gallery I truly love this book, and will buy it year after year.  For $19.99, that’s a great value.  All the cards, and tags, that I could need in one place.  And, I don’t have to worry about them getting lost before Christmas.

You can find some of the awesome pictures, that are in Christmas Paper…

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. Another great book, Cute Christmas.  It’s all animals, and my 20 year old loves this book, because she loves all animals.  I also hang these pictures on the fridge.  My fridge has so much on it right now.

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.
