I know its been a while since I've posted.
I could make lots of excuses about how I've been wrapped up in being a pastor's wife, stay at home mom, homeschool teacher, etc.; but I won't.
Today I was given the opportunity to begin a little project to help out the boss at my hubby's other job. It's a simple graphic design job. But it reminded me.....I REALLY LOVE playing mrs armstronghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06801115063145911864noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572146279353867621.post-83880888034725587092015-04-10T16:25:00.003-05:002015-04-10T16:25:39.917-05:00Adeline Skin Care Review - Part 3 of 3

I have always thought that it would be nice to have a mirror in the shower. Just think about it...the posibilites are endless with what you could use it for...brushing teeth, shaving (for men), making sure you get just the right amount of lather in your hair to make it stand up straight.... So I was ecstatic when I was given the opportunity to try out the Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror.

This week I had the opportunity to try out a brand-new lightning cable for my iPhone 5s. The previous one I had gotten from my mobile phone service provider was starting to charge inconsistently.
Using this charger is just as simple as taking it out of the package and pluging in it. It is 1 yard for 3 feet long, which is the standard length for most charging cables.

I was so excited today to receive a package containing my 4-pack of La Lune Naturals Organic Lip Balm. Both my daughter and I have very sensitive skin so we have to be careful what beauty products we use. It's specially hard for my 8-year old daughter who can't use cute girly products. As soon as we got the package we tore into it to check out our new goodies.

I was so excited when the great folks at One Organic contacted me about trying some of their Superfood products for free. All I had to do is give my honest review in exchange for free products...um that's a no brainier.

I received this set from BzzAgent for my children to play with and review.
