Soft Kitty



When I see kitty themed items I immediately think of several family and friends that it would fit for, sometimes even myself. This case would have been mine if it came in the size I needed, believe me I had that much fun with it. 

This case is super cute and so wish it came in the size to fit my phone. For those who have the iPhone 6s plus or the iPhone 7 plus you are in luck this comes in your size. The case is soft and flexible with pictures of kitties as well as a 3D squishy kitty. The squisy kitty is what really makes this so cute and loveable. I just couldn't help rubbing it's belly. It looks so happy when doing so. 

The Soft Kitty case can be found at my affiliate link below.

One of my Bathing Luxuries



Bathing is one of the times that are a just for me, where I can sit back relax, read, or even watch a show or movie. If I have already washed my hair I like to use a hair towel to keep my hair up and out of my way. This is one of my favorite luxuries besides face masks, bubble bath, and bath bombs. 

As a busy mom there is precious little time for a little pampering or luxury but with these Microfiber hair towels from Bath Blossom you are in for a real treat. Super easy to use just place on your head after leaning forward with hair coming in front of face, twist lightly, lift, and button. That is it for a great way to help dry your hair and keep it out of you face while washing face, using masks, or even while putting on makeup. 

My girls even love these hair wraps which cut down on drying time on busy school mornings. The Bath Blossom hair towels come in a twin pack which can be found at my affiliate link below.

7 Chakras



Having done yoga and meditation throughout my life thus far you would think I would be using incense on a normal keel, but alas I am allergic as in my throat closes up. I start having allergy symptoms just being around the unburned but once it is open aired or burned my body reacts in dangerous ways. 

My daughter uses incense for her meditation and when she was still home we tried different scents to see if there were any I could with stand, so far it is a no go, even with her door closed, window open, and being on the second floor I would have bad reactions. She now has her own place and is able to burn them at will, accept for when I am over then she can't use them. 

I do still have allergy symptoms while at her house with a sore throat but not a full blown attack which is nice since I do like to visit her as often as I can.

Now to the product itself. I love that the Chakra company took time to put these sets together for those who would like to meditate and see which of their chakras are strongest or even to strengthen them with just the right scent to help you achieve where you would like to be. For me my strongest is my Third Eye so the Cinnamon and Sage would be my pick but of course even though I can take these scents any other way when made into incense something happens which makes them cause me to have an allergic reaction. For me I just put some cinnamon and sage into a pot of water and simmer which works well for me.

With this set you get all 7 of the scents which are 1 - Root Chakra - Muladhara - Patchouli & Vetiver (Vetyver) 2 - Sacral Chakra - Svadhisthana - Ylang Ylang & Jasmine 3 - Solar Plexus Chakra - Manipura - Bergamot & Ginger 4 - Heart Chakra - Anahata - Sandalwood & Rose 5 - Throat Chakra - Vishuddha - Frankincense & Peppermint 6 - Third Eye Chakra - Ajna - Cinnamon & Sage 7 - Crown Chakra - Sahasrara - Frankincense & Myrrh & Lotus. for a total of 140 incense sticks which are 11 inches long and will burn up to 60 minutes each. They also include 1 wooden burner which are great if you are new to incense or would like to give as a gift. 

My daughter says that to keep them fresh she likes to keep them wrapped in between use. She also says to keep them away from pets because some pets might knock it over with their tails or even swat at the smoke when they are in use.

HSI Glider



So here we are starting another school year. My youngest daughter wanted me to straighten her hair so I was glad that we found this Glider from HSI. With an on and off switch and reaching temperatures between 140 and 450 it is sure to be a great fit for pretty much anyone's hair. 

This literally was ready to use within seconds which was amazing. That is a real time saver alone when you are trying to get your children off to school. Be it a parent doing a child's hair, their own, or even the teen who is all about styling this Glider will get you through. 

It comes neatly packaged so it is great for gift giving. Has a thermal glove that comes in handy and a nice satin like bag which is lined to keep your glider in tip top shape. You also get a trial size of HSI argan oil lean in treatment. I do suggest picking up a thermal spray to protect your hair when using any heat source on your hair and HSI has a good one available. 

My favorite part of this straightener is the 360 swivel cord which keeps you styling your hair instead of fighting with the cord. My daughter is very happy with our new straightener which makes me a happy Mommy. 

The 1 inch glider from HSI can be found here  and the HSI thermal spray can be found here.
