Organic Citrus Facial Cleanser from Brittanie’s Thyme



I have found another product from Brittanie’s Thyme that I am in love with. The Organic Citrus Facial Cleanser. It is made with organic aloe gel, organic jojoba oil, 100% natural vegetable glycerin and grapefruit and rosemary organic essential oils.


I never would have thought that oils could cleanse my skin.

Loving Lavera Eyeliner and Mascara


I have the organic make up starter kit in black, which features black eyeliner and mascara from Lavera. Paraben-free, cruelty free, all natural…and beautifully black with no irritation. My eyes were loving these products.


The Lavera black eyeliner glided on smooth and left a perfect black line that really stood out. So smooth and easy to use. No hard pencil that pulls at the skin, just smooth perfection. And the mascara…

A Review of the Book Sew with Sara


The one thing I have always wanted to learn how to do, but have never gotten around to it, is sewing. Sure I can do the basics like stitch a seam back together or sew a button back on but when it comes to using a sewing machine…I am totally intimidated. I don’t even know where to start.


I don’t want my daughter’s creativity to be thwarted like mine. Not being able to sew has limited my crafty creations. I design a lot of things, many which never come in being because I can’t sew.


The book Sew with Sara: PJs, Pillows, Bags & More–Fun Stuff to Keep, Give, SELL! is a great way to get my daughter interested in sewing.
