Tiffany Tries Things, part 2

Welp, I've settled in, and my days are filled. My floors aren't getting mopped nearly as often as they did at first. That said, I haven't tried as many new cleaning supplies lately. This year I've been focusing on taking care of myself--something (someone) I've been neglecting for far too long.

Here are a few of my current favorite things:

1. Thayers Lavender Witch Hazel - Anyone else ask for toiletries for Christmas? Just me? Okay then. I had been wanting to try this for so long. And I'm so glad I did. My skin has never looked better. And the best part about it is that I believe it will last me a year ... and I use it twice a day. That makes it cost <$1/month.

2. Norwex Makeup-Removal Cloth - Pretty sure I wrote about these before, but I'm too lazy to look. I just love them so much. I have one. I need to order more. Not that I wear much makeup, but I like not having to buy an extra makeup-removing cleanser in addition to face cleanser. Ain't nobody got money for that!

3. Smartly™ by Target Hand Soap in Lavender - It's a dollar, but smells like essential oils. But seriously, $1. And it's awesome. Bonus: if you use bar soap, it's 2/$1. The scent lasts, and the soap (bottle and bar) does, too. Big fan over here.

4. Mini Cucumbers from Aldi - Okay, this one is random. But it's my newest favorite Aldi find. And Aldi is MY JAM. A 1-lb bag costs around $2. The kids LOVE them. (Though, I admit, I'm lucky. My kids are great eaters.) They even have an organic variety, if you prefer organic.

5. Color Street Nail Wraps - Note: I am not a seller of Color Street, and I don't want to be. However, just because that's not my thing doesn't mean I'm gonna stop singing the praises of Color Street. What do I like about Color Street? The only time I get to do my nails is before bed. Color Street lets me do my nails in minutes, and then I can go straight to bed without waking up with weird indentions on my nails. Plus, they're real polish, so you can take them off with regular nail polish. I'm really hard on my nails, and Color Street wraps stay on my nails for about a week before I remove them. If you'd like to try them, I have a party going on now, but it's closing tomorrow. Check it out here, if you're interested!

I suppose that's it for now. Gotta go chase the kids.

In joy.

"Title Goes Here"

I've had about a week to myself as my better half and kids went off on an adventure in Colorado. I don't remember the last time I had this much time to myself. Last week, I exercised the right side of my brain as frequently as I could. I finished two quilt tops and several random quilt blocks. I didn't exercise my body; my brain needed the attention. There's something immensely satisfying about cutting up fabric into smaller pieces, mixing it all up, piecing it back together, and creating something entirely different. It's my therapy. I listened to music loudly. I sat by the fire and stared at my phone for too many hours. I went on a quick work trip. I stayed up too late every night. I balanced the checkbook and paid bills. I made poor eating decisions and drank far too much coffee. Then today, I deliberately did nothing. No music. No creating. No makeup. I rested. I started reading a book. I watched a little t.v. And in the spirit of doing jac...

This is FIVE

She slowly tiptoes out of her bedroom and pulls the door softly until it clicks closed behind her. Then boldly with purpose, she walks into our room, stands next to the bed, and taps me on my shoulder until I reach underneath her little arms, hoist her up, pull back the covers, and get her situated between us, snuggling in for the last 10 minutes of sleep. But today was a little different. The routine was the same, but instead of sleeping, there was way too much excitement. "Mommy, is it morning? Am I this many?" And she holds up a whole hand of fingers. FIVE. Not a toddler, not yet a big kid. She's that perfect in between. Oh, how I love this girl. I want to be more like her when I grow up. She loves fiercely. Listens quietly. Speaks up when she feels like she's being wronged. Nurtures like no other. Her favorite color is pink, but rainbow is a close second. On Monday, I asked her what she wanted for her birthday dinner. She chose the exact same thing we were eating ...

Tiffany Tries Things ... part 1

Now that I've had a bit more time on my hands to do ordinary things (**ahem ... clean**), I've found myself navigating a world of products that over-promise and under-deliver. But there are a select few that I absolutely love. And though I could get through my day without them, I wouldn't want to. Some save time, some save money, and some make me look free spirited (and slightly crazy) as I'm contorting my body and running in circles to get away from bees. [read on] I've done the (not-even-remotely-scientific) research for the world, and I can't keep quiet about them anymore. Before I begin, you should know that I've received zero pennies for my thoughts on these products, so that's how you know my feelings are too legit to quit . This will probably be the most random assortment of products... but anyway, here we go. Everyday Products I Love 1. Grove Collaborative Wool Dryer Balls -- These suckers are straight-up MAGIC. They cost $15.95 for a s...
