One of my absolute favorite things is to take a bath right before I go to bed- maybe drink a little bit of wine while I am at it, but then as soon as I get out put on some awesome pajamas and get straight into bed. For some reason it reminds me if when I was young and I slept a whole lot better than I do now! It is just really relaxing and burrowy and sometimes I watch a little bit of t.v and just unwind without the phone/tablet/computer and sometimes every rare moon I get so zoned out I can drift right to sleep no matter what time it is! I always try to make bedtime something I look forward to and I like things to be as inviting as possible.  Recently I have gotten a couple of things to review that help me look forward to going to bed even more- one of which is PeachSkinSheets! I have always been a fan of awesome sheets, even though I haven't always had the best- I try to always come up with the best that I can get- and I am sure every woman out there … [Read more...]

Something David has wanted for a while now is some sort of drone to fly around and mess with, but he hadn't managed to get one- he did try one out at one point but he never could get it to do "right" so he took it back and had pretty much gave up on getting one. However, when I was starting to put this gift guide together I thought I would try to track one down for him- though I had tried in the past and failed!  He was pretty excited though when I told him that I had managed to get him one thanks to the folks at Vivitar! I have actually been a fan of Vivitar for a long time now...considering the first digital camera I ever had was one of theirs. I was actually the first person to have one in the family as well ( I just had to throw that in there lol)I have also had a few other ones over the years, and I am pretty sure there is one still in the electronics in this house - I have just gotten so used to using my phone I haven't really used anything else in a while (well, except my … [Read more...]

You already know that I live in the South, and I am always talking about how hot it is!  Of course you all know I am more of a fall person, but we don't get a whole lot of fall :( then sometimes it goes straight from summer into winter which I hate. This is why sometimes I think I would like living up North- but that is the only reason ha ha. I really do enjoy being a southern girl and there is no way I could convert! This year though it actually seems that here in the south we are getting a early fall- and actually a real fall- well a few days here and there anyways! I am pretty excited about it , and our leaves are even turning already - I think it is a little early for all this in general let alone where we are but.. that is the way it is going this year. I won't deny fall though- bring on the cool and the wood smoke and the breezy days and leave turning and pumpkin spice and being able to eat the more heavy foods and soups :) The one thing I will say that i do like though … [Read more...]

I know I sure have wrote about my hair a lot lately on the blog- but then again, when you go back it seems to be always a subject that I have a lot to say about! I was never interested in DOING hair like my mother was or anything like that - heck honestly I had my mom do my hair like ALL the time well into when I was in college - I know that is weird but I never really could do that much with it and she could do braids and twists and all that kind of thing- plus I was always so stretched on time in the mornings ! Basically if I wanted it to look like something other than pulled straight back and slicked- well I needed help!  Shoot, I still don't do much different!  At least I can straighten it a little better than I used to, and then I can wear it clipped up, down or pulled up so.. I still don't have much variety but.. I am better off at it than I used to be! Just in case you have missed it I have naturally evil.. i mean naturally curly hair that you pretty much have to threaten to … [Read more...]

I am the kind of person that when I do reviews, I generally have someone else in mind other than myself that can use them- even though I do tend to do most of the reviews on things that are specifically for me.. sometimes I keep things a while and then pass them along and sometimes I keep them for well . .ever! I love to review things for my fur babes, but most everything turns out to be for Marley when it comes to that sort of thing- I guess because she is a dog and there just seems to be more goodies out there for dogs!  Every now and again though, I get to review something for Sam (the orange evil in a fur cat of mine), and that really makes me happy when it works out that way! One thing that we quickly learned when we first got Sam, was that he LOVES cat nip. I mean LOVES.  When we had Shadow, I don't think that he really cared anything in the world about it, but Sam takes great delight when it comes to it!  When we lived at our old apartment, our neighbors mom actually brought … [Read more...]
