Organic Seaweed Powder for Youthful Skin

As most of my readers know I really like to do facial masks, and I am thinking about delving into body wraps once I get the OK from my Dr. that is. Until recently I just bought the premixed facial masks, but I have to say that I am happy with the results of Powdered Seaweed.

With Azara Organics it is a one to two ratio. One power to two parts water. In the video below I use 1 teaspoon of powder and two tea spoons of water. I also added in 5 drops of  Peppermint essential oil, you might want to try 3 drops at first to make sure that it is not too strong for you.

I left on for 15 minutes then washed off with a cool washcloth, following with a facial moisturizer. My face feel silky smooth. So powder is the way to go for me from now on when I purchase facial masks.

You can purchase this Organic Seaweed Powder on Amazon.

3600 Piece Glow in the Dark Loom Band Set 6 Colors


Most children and even some adults have gotten in on the Loom Band craze, including my children, and I have to admit if these had been around back in the day I would have loved to make these.

Now I haven't actually made a bracelet yet but my daughters have. We have learned the hard way that all bands are not made equal. Some are way to large and cheaply made while others like the 3600 Piece Glow in the Dark Loom Band Set are perfect.

Plus this set is glow in the dark. Think 4th of July Sleepovers, Camping. The kids will have a great time and you will be able to see where they are. My girls are very excited to be able to make and wear some of these over Summer vacation when we go on a few road trips. I know they will be busy and happy making bracelets, necklaces, and anything else they imagine.

As a mom I also like that this comes with a book so that my girls can see some other ideas they might want to try. Now if only I can steal away a loom long enough to learn how to make them myself.

You can purcahse the 3600 Piece Glow in the Dark Loom Band Se on Amazon.

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.

You can purchase 18" BBQ Grill Brush with Scraper on Amazon.

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.
