PRIME DAY DEAL!! I LOVE & USE THIS DAILY!!!

“It has no scent, and it’s thick but not really greasy (which I hate greasy feeling lotions), and it works. Does it correct? Ehh… not sure, but on the spot, my skin always looks AMAZING when I put it on.

Plus I put it on the back of my hands, which always look dry and crepey now. AND!!! I add a bit of my favorite “Bath and Body Works lotion (so I can have the scent that I love – right now it’s “Blueberry Bundt Cake”), and it mixes perfectly.”

I LOVE WHIMSICAL LANTERNS & THESE ARE ON SUPER-SALE!!

I have a few different styles, both at my front door and on my back lanai, dispersed amongst my landscaping, and the gorgeous patterns they give off, take my breath away. My beautiful glowing fairy garden is made even more “fairy” with these. I bought these for my bestie, and they are on super-sale right now!!

And… they’re solar powered, so even if I don’t have power, I will have light.

SHEPHERDS HOOKS ON SALE!!

I STILL NEED TO PUT MINE UP (I got ’em on sale – lightning deal + there’s a coupon right there to clip), and I’m glad I didn’t put them up yet considering this darn hurricane. I can’t wait to add them to my landscaping. My lanterns will look great on this!!! 😊

I LOVE THIS LIQUID EYELINER!!

I’ve tried a ton of them, and struggle to make a perfectly controlled and yet thin line close to my eyelashes, and this one (out of all the brands I’ve tried including being a apart of Ipsy for years!!) is the only one that goes on right, the first time. I have it in black (of course) and this super-dark green one here (almost looks black but just a hint of color) and I’m going to get the other two colors as well.

THIS IS MINE & IT’S ON PRIME DAY DEAL!!

I HAVE THIS EXACT ONE (color and all)!! It’s not necessarily “cooling” 😉 but it’s cute, and cozy and looks pretty done up with a bunch of big pillows and a few throw pillows too. See that waffle blanket? I love that look, and I now you see what I’m going for. P.S> This just reminded me I still need a waffle blanket, so hopefully I finally buy one today.

Now don’t be fooled, the blanket isn’t AS fluffy as it looks in that picture (supposedly to get that look, it’s multiple layered comforters for the photo), but it’s plenty fine and fluffy once the bed is all made up cute like that picture.

I HAVE THIS AND I LOVE IT & IT’S ON SALE!!!

The only light I had in my room is that from the fan, and it’s yellow-ish light and I hate that. So I had to get some smart lamps for my room and ahhhhhhhh NOW I have the lighting I like. And yep…. I have it working with Alexa. 🙂

It’s so discreet and slim (but tall!) that I have it in a nook between two dressers in my bedroom. I can adjust the lamp head to any direction, and of course since it’s a smart light, I can choose any color, any light temperature and any dimness or brightness. YAY ME!!

I NOW HAVE TWO COOLING BLANKETS

In my quest for a fluffy, thick and cushiony bed for the “decor” of my room, apparently, I’m overheating us. LOL!!! My solution was my other cooling blanket (and you guys – it works SO well – but my husband found it too cold). So I got this one that had some padding in it to turn it into a “comforter” and it’s just a tad warmer (but still a cooling blanket).

And, it makes a pretty bed. Not as fluffy as all my puffy duvets and cushions, but still very clean and crisp looking. So whether I use it as the main comforter, or leave it under all my puffy-fluffy bedding, we use it every night. LOVE IT!

PRIME DAY DEAL!! I USE ONLY THESE for my dogs (I call ’em donut beds). They absolutely love them. We’ve gone through all sorts of variations of beds (including the whole memory foam beds) and it’s just nope. They either get shredded in pieces or not used at all. Especially my big “Havoc” who is restless if he doesn’t love his bed, constantly trying to nest and re-nest.

With this one, he flops and curls right up. Or stretches right out. So my three buddies each have one (though my two MinPins often share one together). Cuteness overload. Anyway, all that to say – SALE!!!!!!!

SOLAR FLOOR LAMPS!!

I absolutely LOVE these (already have two and they’ve been going strong for a whole year now, right in my HARD CORE sun area so I needed 2 more, and they were on Prime Day sale, so I jumped on another set. 😀

BACK ON TODAY’S LIST ‘CAUSE —> HURRICANE NOTE: If we lose power, I’ll be setting these out in the sun all day, and bringing them IN the house at night. They’re usually still lit (though just glowing) when I leave for work in the morning. I have 4 so these will help a ton!

THIS IS THE PLANT STAND I JUST BOUGHT & I LOVE IT!!

Isn’t it beautiful?? I love the shape, I love how it highlights my plants, I love how sleek it is, and I love the lights so much! Thank you again to my wonderful husband that built it for me...

Oh yeah I edited mine… there’s one shelf I didn’t include, and I didn’t hang anything off from under the top shelf (so even more stuff to do with it if you choose!!) 😃

As Eve learns to walk, talk, and write again—and as she wrestles with her diagnosis, and how and when to explain it to her beloved children—she begins to recall what’s most important to her: long walks with her husband’s hand clasped firmly around her own, family game nights, and always buying that dress when she sees it…”

SMALL TOWN ROMANCE!!

Female lobsterman Charlie Pinkham is content with her seaside life in Christmas Cove, Maine.

Single and surrounded by friends and community, Charlie has always been more comfortable braving the bold Atlantic rather than diving into the messy business of romance. When she writes a post for her bestie’s Happily Ever Holidays blog, Charlie’s decidedly unromantic piece goes viral. Readers connect with lobster behavior, and how they’re hardwired to protect themselves from their own species—a trait Charlie respects.

Because love hurts.

Still, she can’t quell her growing interest in Logan, the mysterious and definitely unavailable man renting her family’s lighthouse for the month of December. Charlie looks for distraction by DMing a stranger online, and organizing Christmas Cove’s first annual holiday festival.

But as her Love & Lobsters posts explore the ways lobsters display trust, commitment, mating rituals, and sexy time, Charlie must decide if plunging into uncharted waters is worth the risk.
