Mother’s Day Will Be Bittersweet
Reposting from Mother’s Day 2012
Silent Saturday
OOTD – Finally Friday
Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!
Well we made it through another week and for that I am thankful. It was a roller coaster of events with all the strange things happening in the world. I continue to pray for the 3 kidnapped victims in Cleveland and no matter what he did in his past, Charles Ramsey, you are definitely to be commended for being at the right place at the right time – thank you bro!
The heat is on so I chose to wear a skirt instead of jeans as I normally do on casual Fridays.
Maxi skirt – Old Navy (last season) // Top – Rugged Wearhouse
Gladiator Sandals – DSW
I hope the temps remain high as the pool is scheduled to be opened next week!
Watch – Avon // Ring & Bracelets – jewelry box // nails be be done this afternoon!
Linking up with The Friday Chaos Blog Hop – come on over and join in on the fun!
Have a fantabulous evening – Smooches!
Dickinson's Towelettes Review
The Sugar n Spice Voxbox that I received from Influenster contained a box of Dickinson’s Original Witch Hazel Oil Controlling Towelettes. These towelettes are suppose to lift dirt and remove impurities from the skin without irritation. They contain 3 simple ingredients, Witch Hazel, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice and Sodium Benzoate which makes them oil free, non-drying and can be used on all skin types.
I’ve never had problem skin and only use makeup removal cloths so I asked my oldest son to test them as he suffers from occasional breakouts and teenage acne. Unlike my youngest, he is not particular with his grooming products so he agreed to help with the review. He used one towelette each morning for a week and this was his report:
Likes:
- didn’t irritate or sting his face
- didn’t make his face dry
- noticed his face was clearing
- great size to use on face and neck
- packaged great for travel
Dislikes:
- the smell, it didn’t stink but didn’t smell that great either -(Witch Hazel has always had a distinct odor)
BEFORE
T
AFTER
Used a week with a noticeable difference, he likes the product therefore, we will be purchasing this product.
They are available at most of the major stores like Walgreens, CVS and Walmart.
I have 4 coupons for $2.00 off and if interested, send me an email – ablake48@gmail.com
(1st come 1st served)
This is NOT a paid endorsement.
I received the product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes, opinions are completely my own.

OOTD – Brass with Black & White
Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
The weather is warming up nicely despite yesterday’s hail storm, yes, it hailed in Middletown, Delaware. I hadn’t reached town yet therefore, I missed it but my girlfriend posted a pic on Facebook (LIKE me) and it was awesome, actual golf ball size hail in May – this global warming ain’t no joke!
I am getting a little impatient with the weather and am no longer waiting to go sleeveless or wear sandals as evidenced by today’s outfit. I added a little pop of color to the black and white with a coral watch and ring. The brass statement necklace with matching earrings I’ve had for over 25 years and paired them with a hammered brass bangle bracelet.
Striped Skirt (old) – Marshalls // Top – GW Boutique // FUBU purse – Burlington Coat Factory
Pesaro’ Sandals (old)
Brass Necklace & Earring Set and Bracelet – jewelry box // watch – Avon // Ring – DIY Ombre with nail polish
Sunnies – Rugged Wearhouse
I am so ready to wear white jeans.
What are you most looking forward to wearing this summer?
