....oh...again...

...And Mary Kay Eye Primer.

Oh....

....in addition to yesterday's post, I don't know how I could forget Hairspray.

Paul Mitchell's Freeze and Shine.

Love it.

Products I swear by...

All growing up, I was never really concerned much with using different products for my hair/skin etc. As long as I had shampoo, conditioner, soap and tooth paste I was happy. Well, I started having dry skin problems during the winter months last year and it was terrible. This year, I decided I was going to search and search and find the greatest stuff so I didn't have to deal with dry skin/cracking lips/ unhealthy hair etc.

So if any of you have the same problem- here are my favorites:

Shampoo and Conditioner: Bumble and Bumble Gentle Shampoo and Super Rich Conditioner

Face: Burts Bees Carrot Seed Oil Complexion Spray and Rosewater and Glycerin Toner.

Problem Blemishes: Eucalyptus Oil. (Dab on problem spots to dry up so they can heal)

Dry tangled hair: Bumble and Bumble "Prep". Spray on straight out of the shower for an easy comb through.

Bug Bites/ Razor Burn: Burts Bees 'Res-Q Ointment'. Hate the smell, love the results.

Lips: Cherry Chapstick or Burts Bees Nourishing Lip Balm with Mango Butter

Cracking Hands and Feet: Arbonne Aromassentials Awaken Sea Salt Scrub.

Cuticles: Burts Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream. Great to sit and rub in during church!

Skin: Johnsons Baby Lotion, Honey Apple. Works best straight out of the shower.

Extra Dry Hair: Arbonne SeaSource Detox Spa Fortifying Hair Mask. Use every once in a while and your hair will be SOOO soft! Love it

Enjoy.

Love me some date nights...

I was just about to start cooking dinner. Today is the perfect dreary day for some Home made Broccoli/Caulifour Cheese Soup. Then my sweetheart calls on his way home from Jensen. He said, "I really want to go see Contraband, so lets just go out tonight okay?"

Love him.

{And the Buttered Popcorn from the Theatre}

Looks like I'll have to make soup tomorrow.

January is almost over...

This is a girl after my own heart. Whose ever heard of Salmonella? Ppppffft. You haven't lived until you've licked a brownie batter bowl clean.

Tonight, Justin and I loaded up and went to Jensen to my parents house for dinner. We made Chicken Ala King and I made some yummy Turtle Brownies. {Yummy being the key word}

We visited for a while, and played Candy Land and Hide and Seek with the little girls. I love going home to Jensen. I do hope that we can move back down there someday soon. I miss the people and the farms and the drive. It might sound crazy, and although it is annoying at times, I used to use that time to talk to friends and family on the phone, make appointments, relax from work- etc. I never EVER anticipated how much I would miss that drive...and my family...and my ward.

Don't get me wrong- I love my new ward, especially now that I'm in Relief Society and have kindof been forced to socialize with people, but I miss my ward in Jensen SO BADLY. I knew everyone's names, I sat in the same spot with my family every week, Sacrament meeting was always so reverent.

Long story short- Going to Jensen makes me want to move back, for a lot of crazy good reasons.

We got to visit tonight and just relax in our pajamas, eat some dinner and play with the girls. It is so nice to see Hailey finally coming around to Justin. She was born when we were still dating, and Justin was working nights on the rigs, so he would come to my house and they would nap together during the days. As she grew, she got so incredibly timid. She did not like men in general. She wanted her mom, me, Grandma, daddy or poppa, if he was going to feed the horses. These last few weeks have been the TOTAL opposite. She wants Justin all.the.time. She doesn't leave his side/lap/hanging on his neck whenever we're around, and it's so great to see! They have so much fun being silly together.

I am hoping that I can do better this Saturday than I did last Saturday.

I have a long list of things to accomplish, so I'm hoping to get an early start, and knock em out.

Taxes are my biggest priority tomorrow.

I hate small business taxes.

hate

I also get to go the usual rounds- cleaning house, doing laundry, doing dishes, etc.

I also have homework to do. Relief Society tasks to accomplish. Vinyl to cut. Crafts to finish for a few people.

I guess if I wasn't so busy, I wouldn't have anything to write lists about...and you all know how much I love lists :-)

Happy Friday Night!

We are so loved...

Yesterday afternoon, Justin and I were fortunate enough to be able to attend an endowment session with my Uncle Troy, as he went through for the first time. It is incredible the spirit that we feel in the temple and the reminders and guides they give us for better living. I have always felt that the temple is a place of learning, and it was incredible to witness another of my family members experience this learning and joy for the first time.

We had the majority of our family members on my mom's side there with us, and the spirit is always increased, for me, when we are able to go with family. It made me think of how fortunate I have been to have been raised in a family, even extended family, that believes in and lives worthily to attend the temple. That, and the opportunity I have also had to go through with my two best friends within the last 2 years, has just been in incredible.  It is of great encouragement to me to know that almost no matter where I turn, to family or friends, they will always be able to help guide me back to the temple.

Love them!

After the session, we all met at 7 - 11 Ranch Restaurant for dinner. We visited and laughed and had a great time!

After having that great night, I got to go to Ali's Baby Blessing today. It is so truly heart warming to listen to these fathers blessing their children and introducing them into the gospel in their first stages in life. I know, even though they can't communicate it yet, that these babies know how very loved they are. I was at Trish's house at 8:30 helping get the Luncheon all set up and ready, so she could get herself and little Ali all dressed up.

I wish I would've taken a picture, she was just plain adorable.

My Mom and Dad met me at the church and sat with me. Afterwards, they went home and I went and made sure everything was ready for the luncheon then headed to my ward. (After locking my keys in my car and had to have Bart take me home to get the spares, lol)

I was especially glad to be in their sacrament meeting today though, one of the talks that was given was actually about regular temple attendance. The Speaker, Brother Batty said "There is not a single thing on this earth, that any of you could be facing in your lives right now- or ever, that can't be rectified by attending the temple regularly, and seeking the Lords counsel and guidance."

That really struck me, especially after having such a great night in the temple with my closest family around me.

We are so very loved...
