I saw this Mrs. Necklace on Etsy from Serissa Boutique and loved it, so of course, I had to share. For $10, this would be such a great gift to give a friend who use getting married. It would make an even greater gift from the groom to give his beloved.
Serissa Boutique has other word necklaces:

What do you think? Love it. Hope you do too!

As the Fourth of July is this week, I thought you might enjoy a fireworks app for your smart phone. The Fireworks Arcade app is lots of fun, and free. You can either simply watch a fireworks show, or play one of the firework games, which are very addictive.

One little tip. I would steer clear of adding music. It was fun at first, but then I could not figure out how to turn it off.
Check out the app store for many more 4th of July apps. There are lots more fireworks apps, and some U. S. History apps. Enjoy!

What I wouldn’t give for some of my mom’s fried chicken and potato salad. Do you have some favorite that your mom used to make, or still does, that was her specialty? My mom was a GREAT cook, and I think one of my favorites is her Potato Salad. I love it, and summer doesn’t seem like summer without it.
Beverley’s Famous Potato Salad
- 4 potatoes boiled with skins on and then cubed
- 4 eggs boiled and then cubed
- 4-6 stalks of celery, chopped thin, thin, thin
- 1 small jar of pickles, minced
- 1 medium onion, minced (Vadelia, 1015, or red sweet onion)
- 1 can of black olives, chopped
- 1/2 cup mustard
- 1 cup Hellman’s Mayonnaise
- Lotsa pepper
- Little salt
Mix all together. Garnish with Paprika.

Every day, I age. It’s a fact, Jack. I picked up this Boots No.7 Eye Gel earlier this year from Target. I decided maybe a gel under eye cream, instead of a cream under eye cream (that makes sense, right?) would help with these durn creases in my makeup I keep getting. I was right. I love when that happens! It’s also very soothing, and seems to help keep those creases at bay.
From Boots’ website:
Wonderfully calming and cool with witch hazel and horse chestnut, it helps reduce the appearance of puffiness and dark circles, so the skin around your eyes looks and feels revitalized. Pro-vitamin B5 moisturizes the delicate eye area for silky soft skin.
Boots states that if you keep in your fridge, you will get the maximum cooling benefits. It also states that you can reapply throughout the day to refresh your eyes. I just use my Evian Spray for that.
I am a huge Boots No. 7 fan. I think they have very good products, and they don’t come with a huge price tag. Let me know in the comments section if you have tried any of the Boots products, or if you have a good eye cream or gel I should try! You know I’ll try anything you recommend!
