Avon Specials and June '17 Favorites!

We're in the second week of July and June is just a memory. Summer is definitely here in Memphis, TN. The temps are high and the humidity is higher. It's like walking out of ones home into a sauna sometimes. 

 Avon's Campaign 16 is well underway and I'll be turning in an order on Monday, July 17th. Let me tell you about what we have going on at Avon this time around. Anew has some great cleansers and a great cleansing brush to use them with. 
Anew's Cleansing Brush is a gentle brush that cleanses without pulling the skin. It's like having a mini facial massage every time you use it. It is easy to use and easy to travel with. The cleansing brush is battery operated with 2 AA batteries. Guess what? It is on sale for only $24.99! The regular price is $40, so this is a great savings!

The next product that you might be interested in is Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus. This is the time of year for bugs and unfortunately, some of these bugs (mosquitos) carry the Zika virus. SSS Bug Guard Plus is water resistant, has an SPF of 30 and protects against the nasty Zika virus. All of the Skin So Soft products are wonderful, but Bug Guard Plus is an essential for the summer.

Now for my June Favorites List! These are the things, foods, movies, etc... that I discovered in the month of June. Maybe you will like these things as much as I do!

My favorite beauty care products are, of course, Avon. (Bet you didn't see that one coming, did you?) I have thick, coarse, curly hair that needs a lot of moisture. Advance Techniques 360 Nourish Moroccan Aragan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner is what I use to make my hair more manageable. I also use the Advance Techniques Moroccan Aragan Oil Leave-In Treatment after I shampoo and condition my hair. All of these are lifesavers for me, especially in the heat and humidity.
I finished reading The Broken Way by Ann Voskamp. I highly recommend this book. As someone who is quite self centered, this book was a wake-up call for me to stop thinking about myself all of the time and start thinking about those around me. How can I minister to those in my family, to anyone that I meet on a daily basis or to complete strangers? I'd like to say that after reading this book, I made a complete 360 and I'm a totally different person. I can't. I'm still self centered, but, The Broken Way has encouraged me to do better and to think about how I live my life.

Ed Sheeran's Galway Girl is my music pick of the month. I've become a fan of his lately, but Galway Girl is my favorite song from his newest album, Divide. Here is the song and video below. I can't get enough of this song! (Maybe it's because it's shot in Ireland?)

I finally got to see Moana and the live action Beauty and the Beast movies. I was not disappointed, either! They were both great but Moana was probably my favorite. I love animation and good music and Moana had both. 

Beauty and the Beast had great music too! The movie was very well done and beautiful. Is it weird that I think the beast in the animated movie is more handsome than the actor in the live action movie? It probably is weird but hey, it is what it is folks.

I've also been watching Home Fires on Amazon Prime and I love it! It is a PBS television series that depicts the life of a small, English village that is preparing for the inevitable blitz of WWII. The women are the ones taking over the farms, businesses, as well as the preparing for war because many of the men have signed up to fight. Home Fires is sometimes humorous and many times heartbreaking. I highly recommend it.

Last, but not least, I have been enjoying the cheeseburgers at Top's BBQ this summer. As far as I'm concerned, this is the best cheeseburger in Memphis. (Well, next to my grilled cheeseburgers, that is). I've been going to Top's since I was a kid, and while I love their BBQ, their cheeseburgers are my favorite. If you're ever in the Memphis area, look up Top's on Summer Avenue. They also have the best fries ever!

That's it for tonight! Till next time....

A Few Things Every Woman Should Know How To Do

This blog isn't what you might think it is, neither is it exhaustive. It's not a slam against men, a commentary on feminism or an "anything you can do I can do better" attitude. (I do like that song though). It is born out of experiences in which I had to learn how to do some of these things in a hurry, as well as things on my list that I need to learn.  From my experiences, knowing how to do some of these things is just common sense. I've heard it said that common sense isn't a flower that grows in everyone's garden. I can honestly say that common sense hasn't always grown in my garden, so I can't talk about anyone else. Thankfully, I have learned a little bit over the years and I would like to share some of this knowledge. Okay, here we go. 1. Change a Flat Tire I learned how to fix a flat tire on a highway, in the pouring rain while big rigs were flying by me. This was not an ideal situation and it was scary. My family and I were on our way

Social Experiment - Learning New Things About Myself

I realize that I haven't kept up my part of the bargain as far as blogging several times a week. I apologize for this. The last few weeks have been grueling, to say the least. That's no excuse though, and I will get started on what I am learning from the book, Secrets of Charm, written by John Powers and published in 1954. I've learned some things about myself that I'm a little bit surprised by. Sometimes social experiments can be, well, uncomfortable. I thought that I would fall right in line and step with this, but it hasn't always been that easy. In 1954, women(and often times men too), did not go anywhere without looking their best. I think that looking put together is always a good thing. I really do. That doesn't mean that I'm good at it though. Like I said in my previous post, I am a jeans and tee shirt girl. The first day that I decided to not be a jeans and tee shirt girl, I had to take my dog Lil'Bit to the vet. I decided that I would dress c

Joy Comes in the Morning - I'm Counting On It

It's been a rough summer, no doubt. Not for me personally, but for the world, our country and for many individuals that I know . It seems like every day there is a new reason for a heavy heart. I don't think that I'm the only one who feels this way, either. I might be super sensitive. A friend once told me that I just cared too much about everything. (She's right, and many times I wish that I didn't). I think many in our country are feeling the same way that I do, though. There have been natural disasters everywhere in the world, horrible, senseless violence and we humans are really good at demonizing those who we don't agree with. There have been many times that I have been thankful to believe in the sovereignty of God. There have been just as many times that I have been a doubter, a skeptic even, of His goodness. In fact, this week has been one of those times.  I'm not going to pretend that I have all of the answers. Lately, the answers that I thought w
