One of my dearest friends got me hooked on these products. My favorites are the lotion and lip balm.

Gift shops carry this product line. However, www.drugstore.com sells it too and you can get twice as much product or more for the same price. I actually prefer to purchase the lotion from drugstore because it comes with a pump dispenser.

From canusgoatsmilk website:

Ever since Cleopatra filled her bathtub with it and jumped in, fresh goat’s milk has been revered for its superior moisturizing properties.
Little did La Belle Cleo know that the reason fresh goat’s milk left her skin feeling silky smooth and supple was because of its unique protein structure. Shorter protein strands allow for easy absorption.  A whole host of natural minerals and vitamins in fresh goat’s milk are absorbed right along with all that protein, helping to nourish healthy skin and heal the rough patches.

The lotion is fantastic. No greasy sticky feel. Absorbs very quickly. The soap line is great and works especially well for people with eczema. I have the lip balm in just about every room in my house, along with my purse.  I hope you give it a try.

Want to spoil that dog of yours? Check out anniespoochpops.com and take a look at all their products. I recently found Annie’s Pooch Pops at a craft fair and purchased the happy meal for my granddog and he loved it! Of course there are so many treats in the happy meal it lasts for days and days. Annie’s Pooch Pops uses all natural ingredients. They have sections for grain free treats and wheat free treats if your pet has any dietary restrictions. They also have individual treats that you can personalize. Have you realized yet how much I love personalized gifts? Annie’s Pooch Pops includes a list of ingredients for all treats. Shipping is a little steep at $10 so you might want to stock up on a few treats each time to make it worth the costs of shipping. Trust me though your dog will be wagging his or her tail for hours!

Gone are the days of keeping recipes torn out of magazines, or handwritten on the back of a napkin hoping some day to actually make it into a recipe book. At least for me. I love finding great recipes online. Two of my favorites are http://www.foodnetwork.com and http://thepioneerwoman.com/tasty-kitchen because they have online recipe boxes! When you find a recipe you like on their sites you can save to your own recipe box, and even put the recipes in categories for quick reference. Love that feature. I’m sure there are many food sites out there that offer the same thing.

Tasty Kitchen is part of thepioneerwoman.com, which is one of my favorite sites (Rhonda refers to her as “the farm lady”). Ree Drummond is The Pioneer Woman and along with recipes, her blog contains a “confessions” section, home schooling section, home and garden section, and photography section. The Tasty Kitchen contains Ree’s recipes along with members’ submitted recipes. What’s great about this site and the pioneer woman, Ree, is the step-by-step instructions with photographs taken along the way. So ingenious! Wish I had thought of that!

Foodnetwork.com has tons of recipes from the various shows on the Food Network. See it on a show? Find the recipe on this site. Type in a recipe you are looking for and I guarantee you will find at least ten variations of the recipe. Each recipe will contain a difficulty level (I always shoot for “easy”) and user ratings. I love me some user ratings! Not only do you find out if the dish is good or not, but sometimes will find variations to the same recipe that someone tried and improved on.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil is best eyeliner out there! You believe me, right?

The picture shown is Urban Decay’s Anniversary Collection, which I’m posting just to give you an idea of all the various shades they offer. The eye pencil is typically $17-$18 each. If you are daring you can purchase this entire collection valued at $264 for $92 on amazon.com. You can purchase individual pencils at either beauty.com http://bit.ly/eN9mGW or amazon.com. I’ve tried Rockstar (plum) and Deviant (blue).

My favorite thing about these eye pencils are that they are so creamy. They glide on (ha, just like the name) without tugging your eye, are waterproof, and last all day long. They have some really funky and fun colors that let you step out of your shell and go a little wild! They have normal colors too so don’t let that stop you!

Have you tried any of these eyeliners? If not, what is your favorite eyeliner? Do you call it an eyeliner or an eye pencil? Please share in comments section!
