Confession 41 - Repurposed Pill Box

Hi there! I can't believe it's been over 30 days since my last confession! Yowza! Life has really taken over my creative juices. Lately, I've been doing lots of crafting, so as long as I have time to write a post, you will be hearing a lot from me.  Today's confession is about a gift I put together for the girls.

A couple weeks ago I found out I would be gone the whole First Week of School for the girls. Ya, bad timing. We started school so late this year, normally the dates my company picked would not be a problem.  I was crushed to know that I wasn't going to be in town to pick them up after the first day and hear about their teachers, classrooms and friends. It was torture for me!  We talked nightly and texted, but it was still so hard!

So I saw this idea over on one of my favorite sites, Dating Divas, originally the post was put together for you to use with your hubby, but I altered the idea for my girlies.  It was so fun to put together and think about their little faces when they opened each box every night.

These came from Dollar Tree -
Yes I shop there occasionally, late at night -with hat - with a trenchcoat!

I altered the Hub notes, to kid notes.... email me if you want me to share them.

I couldn't find my normal 7 day Pill Box, but this ended up working out,
Candy/Surprise on one side and note on the other.

There are so many great applications for this idea. I would like to use it for the Hubs sometime, but he's not a candy lover... and well, the pill compartments are too small for anything else he likes... so on I will go, hunting for another solution.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you liked my latest confession!

Confession 40 - My Favorite Summer Products

Today I'm confessing about the latest and greatest products I'm absolutely loving this summer. Like insane make out love! Like white on rice ... Peanut butter to jelly, Ernie to Bert love ... Ok that last one was weird  .... Anyhoo ... Here they are in no particular order:

1. Reef Sandals - I live in my flip flops being in SoCal and I had no idea when I bought these back in the spring these would be my favorite. I knew $30 was too much to spend ... But if they were comfortable and durable it would all be worth-it!  The glitter on the "Reef" part has not come off and the glitter on the band hasn't either. The black is really black and they are still oh so comfortable, looking very new!




 2.  Jergens Skin Firming Lotion - OMG, this is my all time favorite body product right now. I think the firming is working too.. maybe not, but it sure makes my skin feel silky soft. Anyone that has felt my skin recently has commented, on how soft my skin is. It's super cheep and a must have in my bag mix these days. I get mine on Amazon, it's half the cost.

3. Jergens Natural Glow Firming Medium - In love with this product too! Some of you may think I don't need to use this, but my legs don't see sun enough and get pretty white and pale. There is no orange streaking and weird blotches with this product. And it has the same firming lotion in it as the product above. So it makes your skin silky soft!




4.  Salty Caramel Chocolate Balls - Wholly Molly... I know I shouldn't add this as my favorite product when I'm trying to eat healthy and maintain my "summer figure" (what summer figure?), but these are to-die-for delicious. Try them with some wine, and OMG, so deadly. You will fight your 9 year old daughter for the last one (not that I would know about that or anything).




5. Fage 0% fat Greek Yogurt - I love this yogurt... yummy! I add nuts, fruit, cucumbers, peppers or just plain with a dash of salt.  It has 18g of protein! I couldn't believe it when I saw it! And all those great yogurt bacteria thingys for your belly.  A probiotic too!  The key is to mix it really well, then it doesn't appear "cheesy" and gets that creamy feel and look to it.



6. MAC BB Cream - I love this product. It has SPF of 35 and your moisturizer and foundation in one! I love that double dutying product! Saves time and brain cells for me!

 

I could go on with more, but I gotta go do something more productive than divulging all my long standing secrets! You'll have to wait for yet another confession to get more tips!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you liked my latest confession!

Confession 39 - My Favorite SNL Skits

I feel just horrible for not posting more on my blog. It's been rather chaotic in my neck of the woods. And more chaos to come! I've actually thought about posting these skits for weeks and am just now getting a couple of minutes to write this post.

*Disclaimer - most of these skits are not appropriate for little ones, so please blindfold them and make them put their fingers in their ears when you watch these, or better yet, watch them when they are tucked in bed!

So in no particular order, here they are! Vote for your all time favorite or leave me a comment with your favorite one. Oh, and after going on YouTube to find these repeatedly and ending up finding amateur videos, I realized I can see these for free on Hulu, so there's another tip, Hulu is the best place to view them, and they are FREE.

Dick in a Box

Disney Housewives

Woomba

Moey Chamben

Verismo

This next one came from the Epic JT episode in March. I'm telling you, one of my all time favorite SNL episodes. I have hope that this show will become iconic again!

Nuva Bling

These are just some of  the top videos that came to mind today. I have many more.... Hmmmm, now an idea for another post!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you liked my latest confession!
