Sweet Scrubbing to 12 of my best friends and family!

Now that all my homemade gifts are delivered to the lucky 12 people I made them for, I can finally post about them!  Don't they look like a display you would find at a cute little boutique?!  I think I did mention in a post a while back that I was gonna quit my day job and make these for a living.  Well, OK maybe not... but I did enjoy making them and was just as excited to give them to the people I care about most!   I hope they all find them as nice to use as I do.  I seriously love these things and look forward to my showers(even more then I usually do)!  A simple way to do something nice for your body and soul.  Exfoliating (the sugar) and moisturizing (the almond oil) for your skin.  For information on benefits of the essential oil of Bergamot Click here.   and for Lavender essential oil information Click here.


I made the labels on vistaprint.com, and I think they turned out fabulous!

I know that a few of my blog readers (I don't have many) are a few of the people that did receive my homemade gift.  I hope you find them as nice and pampering as I do.  A quick and easy way to treat your body and all your senses.  (yes, it is OK to eat if some accidentally gets in your mouth!)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my friends and family!

****I also wanted to thank 3 of my great friends for the homemade gifts that I received from them.  Shelly made us all cute aprons.  Becky made us all holiday wreaths.  Chris made us all a cloth pouch with photo fabric lining.  I was very pleased with every single gift I received and have some very talented friends!  I need to start thinking about next years gift!!****

Baby Back Ribs - the super easy way!

Image
This turned out to be a super easy way to have delicious baby back ribs during the week.  Normally, I would never attempt anything like this during the week because it would usually be a meal that would require that I  drag out the grill to do.  In this cold - getting really old, Wisconsin winter, I do not want to deal with the grill.  That's James' deal, not mine and if we waited till he got home we wouldn't be eating til 9pm!  (that's bedtime, silly!) Carol's Baby Back Ribs  1 rack of baby back ribs, cut into 3-4 rib sections. Salt/Pepper/Paprika BBQ Sauce In your slow cooker (oh, yes...I did forget to mention it uses the trusty SC) spray the sides down with cooking spray.  Place the ribs in the SC and cook on Low 8-10 hours  (high for 5-6).  After the allowed time to cook, take out ribs and place in pan.  Slather with your favorite BBQ sauce and cook in 350 oven for 30 minutes.   Yup! Its that easy...

Favorite things

2 of my recent additions to my favorite things.  First I will tell you about this product I came to know and actually is perfect for the dry skin our winters cause us to have.   SheaMoisture brand products This stuff in particular is what I am using now.  I use it daily as a facial moisturizer. It is sooo thick I store it upside down and have to take the cap off to squeeze any of it out.  It absorbs quickly and it has oats, aloe and Vitamin E in it to calm skin.  It has a pleasant smell...not too perfumey.  I also have a nice Olive and Green Tea body wash that I am using too. I don't think its for African skin only....I was wondering at first and I do think the company does make a lot of products for African skin and hair....though after looking for pictures online to post of this I am beginning to think I am the only white girl using this product!   The website it pretty nice. www.sheamoisture.com  I will need to check...

Stitch Fix. I tried it.

Image
Well I did it, finally.  I ordered my first Stitch Fix.  I have to say I am a bit disappointed and I was so excited and hopeful.  I did end up with a pair of jeans that I surprisingly like.  Length is long like I like and they are a dark wash.  Nice to have another pair to wear. (I have like 10 pairs, I wear one.)   I did tell MY STYLIST that I do not like short pants.  Too short and I will not wear.  She did take that into consideration and I was happy about that!   What I learned - I need to specify NO BLOUSES.  I do not wear them.  Becky told me they (Stitch Fix) likes blouses.  I do not.  Also, while the dress they sent me when I first looked at it was like UGH, but I tried it on and it was actually ok. But, I am not in the market for a dress right now. So it would hang in the closet. Just a note on the pictures.  I am sick with a nasty cold and really don't have...
