18" BBQ Grill Brush with Scraper

Cleaning the grill has to be one of the hardest things to do.  My husband usually does this and before him my father did the grill cleaning. It is a good thing I don't because it would have to be spotless every time before we grilled. I have learned that grills never look like new after using them even once.

I really like that this has a long handle which means there is less chance of getting burned as it seems most people like to clean the grill while it is hot.

Leave in Hair Protector

I have been using a leave in conditioner for years, as in way back when I was a teenager. I use a leave in conditioner in the summer months to protect my hair from sun, water during swimming, and pretty much anytime I will be going outside. 

Without using a leave in conditioner my blonde hair can really take a beating from the sun. Sure it looks sun kissed, but it isn't for the better. The sun is great for growing things but not good for my body or hair in the long run. 

I am more of a hot day stay in the shade kind of girl but if I am out in the sun I know my hair will be protected for the day. I just spray this in after I shower, comb through and style as usual. Easy as pie.

This was a pretty good book. When parents decide to set the beloved dog, the kids come to the rescue teaching their parents a lesson by putting them up for sale. Once someone buys them and then wants to eat them, the kids have to figure out how to rescue their parents. 

What will happen, will they rescue their parents? If they rescue their parent will they still sell their dog? Want to find out?

The Wisdom and Peace of the Teachings of the Tao Te Ching

The Wisdom and Peace of the Teachings of the Tao Te Ching

written by

Matthew Barnes

Most people are always trying to better themselves or even to find their true selves. This book and many other in the same category can help you do that. For me I just like to read and gain a closer walk with God. 

This book really is the same chapter after chapter just said in a different way. Some people need to hear things over and over again in order to learn. Something will click and they will say I got, I understand now, etc. 

Although this book never really refers to God or the like I find myself referring it to God because for me he is a big thing in my life. If you are interested in healing, moving forward, while learning this book may be for you.

About Tao TeChing
The Tao Te Ching has been interpreted many times and by many authors. This translation is not a strict line-by-line translation, but is instead an attempt to express the SPIRIT of the Tao Te Ching- to present what Lao Tzu (the original author) was teaching in modern and simple language. As such, this translation becomes immediately applicable and relevant to people today. The Tao Te Ching is an ancient Chinese book of wisdom whose teachings can truly change your life, and how you see it. 

In this translation, written by a long time Tao Te Ching enthusiast, is a modern, simplified interpretation that will show you, in plain language: 

- What is really in charge of everything (and it’s not you). 
- How the Tides of Life work and how to let them work for you. 
- How to merge with Life instead of fighting fruitlessly against It. 
- How to avoid suffering (it has to do with preferences and divisions). 
- How to find your true home, carry it with you at all times, and stay safe within it. 
- How to stay safe, no matter how hard the winds of Life **** around you. 
- How to handle almost every situation Life throws at you. 
- What real strength is and which kind endures.

Can your shower get better?

We live in a pretty old house so I filter our drinking water to make sure we aren't getting lead just in case. We have a well outside of our home which we rent, although I have not actually tested the water, I have this big thing about tasting the water where we will live and so far our water tastes great.

We do however have hard water which really plays havoc with our shower heads, coffee makers, and the like. So far we have found that the Ava Water filter works well although I had doubted it would work because of how the filter hooks up.

Others have said they have tested before and after and have seen no difference but of course we were only looking for the hard water to be less harsh which so far we have had good results, I would recommend this for hard water alone, the difference is in that I haven't had to replace my shower head like we usually do.
