First thing I see is the Modcloth - Loch and Key Scarf! I love it!!!
Soft and warm! Second, is a cute coffee mug by The Created Co. telling
me "Good Morning Gorgeous". It's not insulated, I wish it were. Third,
there are a coloring book and pencils! Love! Love! Love! Fourth, a Manna
Kadar priming gloss stain. I'm not into these types of things at all,
sadly. It's a pretty color. Fifth, Argan and Hemp hair oil from
Marrakesh. Yay!! Loving this!! Sixth, an O.R.G Skincare Mineral Face
Peel. Haven't used it yet, but sounds divine!! Seventh, a tag necklace
by Jook & Nona. Cute and Dainty, but I don't wear jewelry. Maybe a
little gift for someone. Eighth is an Anderson Lilley Beach Butter Body
Cream!!! Yaaasss!! OMG!! Getting lots of use from this!! Awesome! Last
of all, there is a Zoya Nail Polish. A good neutral color. I only do my
toes, so it's my next color!!! Looking forward to getting into the next
box already!!
It's been awhile....
Life Happens. My job (which I love!) got super busy. The family keeps
taking turns with illnesses (such as: pneumonia, bronchitis, sinusitis,
and other assorted fun ones). Not to mention surgeries - one routine
(tubes for the youngest granddaughter) and one emergency - appendectomy
for my son. I've missed connecting with everyone and will do better in
the future. I have some reviews to post as well.

WaterWipes
Our family has been trying out the top European type of wipes named
“WaterWipes”. We really liked that they are 99% pure Irish water and
0.1% grapefruit seed extract. Which means no chemicals on our baby
girl’s face or tushy!!! Fundamentally, WaterWipes are just considerably
a less toxic choice for our child. In addition, we found them to be
extremely strong and thick. Another thing we really loved about them was
that WaterWipes seemed to be more “wet” than “normal” baby wipes. The
only issues we had with WaterWipes was that when you pull one out,
several come out in a clump. Furthermore, they don’t seem to “stack”
together as well for dispensing - like normal wipes do. I received
WaterWipes to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own. We used
them everywhere: home, car, and preschool. We used them to clean up a
variety of messes, ranging from runny noses to spills on the floor to
getting off watercolor from preschool to stinky tushies. WaterWipes
really help up to a busy two year old! All in all, I give WaterWipes a 4
out of 5 stars.

Life is a merry go round...
Things are crazy are here at the moment. We went right from
Halloween into Christmas mode. We are decorating for our
Thanksgivingmas, which is our Christmas/Thanksgiving with our daughter
and her kids. Since I started working, I only have after work in the
evening or on the weekends to get everything done. This includes
Christmas shopping for the grandkids and the daughter (and the bestie)
of course. She is bringing her bestie along as her hubby is at sea, we
love her too and welcome her with open arms! Somewhere in there I have
to fit in a trip to pick up those grandkids for the week before
Thanksgiving, shopping for the Thanksgiving meal and just regular
grocery shopping. I think I may need a wife....lol. Or at least a clone
or two. It's not asking too much is it? Work is good, busy, great
people. LOTS to learn, but I'm getting there. Well, those dishes aren't
going to wash themselves and the dog really would like to come in for
the night... and so life keeps on turning round and round...just like a
merry go round.
