In case you didn't know, I don't wear makeup very often. In fact, I think the last time I wore makeup was in June of 2011 for my cousin's wedding. No joke. I think it will be June of this year before I wear makeup again. Wearing makeup so infrequently means I must replace my makeup just about every time I want to wear it. When I do purchase makeup, I go to the Body Shop. Since I have extremely sensitive skin, the Body Shop has been my solution.
Nicole (the Tanya Harding of roller skating and the queen of home Brazilian waxing), once tried the Body Shop makeup and the next day had a face swollen up. As she put it, "my face must need the crappy stuff in makeup." So, with that said, their products may not be for everyone, but I have found them to be extremely beneficial.
I love their lip and cheek stain, their Body Butters, lip glosses and hand creams. My skin is prone to eczema and the Body Butters have completely taken care of that. The bonus is that I am not limited to lotions and creams that don't have a nice scent. I can use these that have scent! I used to use the Bath and Body Works lotions, but I would break out in hives and/or a rash whenever I would use them and found out it is the heavy fragrance. I was sad about it for a long time. The Body Shop also has a Body Butter for babies! I have used that and my Body Butters on Tyson and his skin also tolerates them well. The bonus to that is that he will sometimes smell like a blueberry muffin or chocolate cake. Yessssssssss!
I found a solution to finding a good face wash. I have used just about everything out there. No exaggeration there. I finally decided to try Bath and Body Works antibacterial hand soap as face wash to see how that would work out. It has worked BEAUTIFULLY! Seriously. It is a great because I don't have to shop for a separate type of face soap and I tend to have a supply of this antibacterial soap on hand at all times. I also like having my face smell like apples or kitchen lemon. True story.
I love my electric blanket. I also love blankets in general. I still have a blanket that my grandma bought me when we went to Mexico when I was in 3rd grade. It has held up very well and only now is it showing signs of wearing. Brett got me a "World's Softest Blanket" for Christmas a couple of years ago. It is one of my favorites as well. I told him about where I saw it at a mall in Des Moines and he went and looked for it. As I was opening it, he says, "I looked for the only blanket that screamed 12 year old girl and KNEW that was the one you wanted." It is multi-colored stripes. I admit, it probably was made with a 12 year old girl in mind. It makes me happy, okay!?!!!!!!
I have a couple of those cups that are insulated with the hard plastic straws. I LOVE THESE! It makes the ice cubes last longer in the cup so I am able to fill up my cup a couple of times during a workout and still have it be cold. Love these. Ty loves these, too and it is fun for him so he actually drinks more water.
Signing off for now, to all of you near and far and to those of you wishing you had a multi-colored striped blanket to cuddle up with, until next time...
