Holiday Weekend!

Can you believe we’re in the middle of summer already? With the 4th of July weekend here?

I don’t know about you, but this year has flown by.

I know the holiday was yesterday, but a lot of people are still going to be celebrating tonight and this weekend. For some, it’s difficult to visit unless you have a longer weekend for the drive.

So, barbecues, cold drinks, maybe bonfires, fireworks… All the good stuff, right?

But please stay safe. It has been dry around here lately, though they’re predicting a chance of rain tonight. Fireworks can set grass fires in dry weather, so before you celebrate too heartily, make sure there won’t be any unfortunate accidents.

And don’t forget your sunscreen while you’re sipping your sweet tea or other cold drink around the pool or the deck. It’s easy to get caught up in visiting and forget, but who wants a bodacious sunburn?

May I suggest you check at L’bri for your sun and fun products? They’re among my favorite things! I particularly like the Aloe Vera Gel. It’s perfect after too much sun. And a little bit of it goes a long way, so be careful the first time you try it!

Fireworks are a definite thing around the 4th, but they can be dangerous. Don’t add a trip to the ER this weekend.

So have fun, stay cool, and play safely.

And remember,

Always Look For the Beauty Around You

Ready For Spring?

I think spring may actually be here to stay this time. Around these parts, we often get what the older generation call “Blackberry Spring,” which is an early warming followed by another dose of winter. Why Blackberry Spring? I don’t know. It’s a thing.

But in the meantime, it’s time to get ready to plant. Spring is in the air. Literally. The pollen is everywhere, covering everything in a yellow haze.

But if you’d like to bring springtime into your home without the pollen, and if you like candles, check out the Spring Collection from Mythologie Candles. I love these candles, with their unique scents inspired by fantasy. I haven’t yet chosen my springtime favorite, but I’m leaning toward I Dream In Lavender.

And don’t forget L’Bri Pure and Natural! It’s a new month with new sales and specials. This month features their Facial Mask, a Clarifying Clay Mask, and several other must haves. I love the Facial Mask. And don’t forget, most of their skincare products contain Aloe Vera!

So check it out and find your favorites!

In the meantime, have a lovely Springtime in April.

And remember,

Always Appreciate the Beauty Which Surrounds You

Ready For Summer?

With the temperatures rising, the rain tapering off, and the garden beginning to bloom, I’d say summer is right around the corner.

Are you ready for summer? Your skin and hair can take a beating out in the heat. And after the cool weather we had late into spring, this sudden heat is a killer here in the Southeast.

If you’ve known me for any length of time, you know that one of my favorite product lins is L’Bri. With safer and more natural offerings, they give me the moisture and protection I need while giving me the more pure and natural ingredients I want.

What are my favorites?

Right at the top of the list would have to be the Aloe Vera Barbadensis Jelly. It is a marvelous moisturizer and is wonderful for sunburn or irritated skin.

And then there is the body butter in a variety of scents, or with no scent at all!

Do you carry lotion in your purse? Check out the 2 oz. offering, which is perfect for taking along. Also available in a variety of scents and scent free.

Like to co-ordinate your skincare? They have body wash in scents to match the body butter and lotion. Wonderful smooth and creamy, it doesn’t dry out your skin as it cleanses.

My favorite scent is the warm and sensuous Mandarin Fig, if I’m going to be home. When I’m going out where there may be people with reactions to scents, I use the fragrance free.

So are you ready for the summer sun? If not, L’Bri has you covered!

Check out their summer sale items. And if you hurry, you may still be in time for the Father’s Day specials!

Yes, L’Bri has a men‘s line of products as well, so you can pamper your guy as much as you pamper yourself.

Check out the L’Bri sales and get ready for summer fun!

L‘Bri Pure and Natural, with products you’ll love.

Stay Safe, Stay healthy!

Long Time, No Write…

I know, I know. I’ve been away for a while. But I’m back now! How have you been?

A while back, I had a page on another site which sort of shared some of the information I would write about here. And it was too much to keep up with. Besides that, I am a writer of romance novels, and the writing for that has been eating into my other activities.

So what’ s going on in my world?

Misfits Market, for one!

I discovered this online and decided to give it a try. Due to my diabetic condition, I have a restricted diet and eat a lot of fresh green vegetables. And I prefer to eat organic foods when possible and affordable. Since my first shipment, I’ve been buying my produce from them.

How does it work?

Once you sign up, you can order online from their featured products that week. There is a minimum purchase price and once you reach that, you’re all set for the week. Since I buy a lot of fresh foods, I have no trouble meeting the minimum.

What do I order?

I usually get tomatoes of some sort, curly kale, salad greens, cauliflower and broccoli. blueberries, and strawberries. And then whatever else suits my my fancy, be it potatoes, eggplant for Baba Ganoush, apples, or avocados

How much do you get?

One order is usually enough for one serving for two people. But you can order more than one! Since my husband loves broccoli and kale, I can order enough for us to have two meals with no problem.

So check out Misfits Market!

What else?

As you may know, a friend of mine introduced me to the L’Bri company several years ago. And I love their products! They have taken the alcohol out and replaced it with aloe vera! And it does wonders for my skin. They have a full line of face and body products, hair products, and cleaning products for your home. All of them with more natural ingredients than the run of the mill types you buy over the counter at your local store.

My favorites?

Aloe Vera Gel, the minty rejuvenating foot cream, body butter, and their muscle rub.

Do you need fragrance free? They have it!

Love to experiment with different scents?

You can do that, too! I particularly love the Mandarin Fig.

So check out L’Bri for their Pure and Natural products! There is a monthly special each month, and right now they are having a 2 day sale. So if you hurry over, you can take advantage of this sale for some of my faves!

It’s Christmas in July

Yes! You heard correctly! Christmas in July!

Where?

Come over to Facebook with me and join the fun this weekend. The L’Bri company is having their Customer Appreciation Sale this weekend only, in an online sale.

What do they have?

All types of skincare products, from lotions and creams to facial cleansing and makeup. They also have a hair-care line and household cleaning products.

Why do I like them?

They use more natural ingredients in their products, making them safer to use. And they’ve replaced the alcohol in their lotions with aloe vera, making them much more soothing and less drying.

My favorites are the Aloe Vera Barbadensis Jelly, the fragrance free lotion and body butter. They also have a wonderfully luscious body wash.

What better time to check them out than at the sale?

Come join us for Christmas in July. Bring a friend!
