I am in full diet mode this summer. Or should I say healthy eating mode? I am eating a ton of salads, I know that for sure! I love the Jokari Healthy Steps Portion Control Dressing Lid because I don’t have to worry about my salad dressing all coming out at once. Has that ever happened to you? It is a mess for sure! So I just replace the lid that comes with my salad dressing with the Jokari Lid, and voila! 2 tablespoons delivered without a second thought. The lids are sold in singles, or you can stock up and buy multiple sets to fit all your salad dressing bottles.

From Jokari:

Pour one serving of salad dressing every time!

The Healthy Steps Potion Control Dressing Lid provides a stylish solution to freely pouring too much salad dressing and consuming too many empty calories. The dressing lid fits numerous sizes of store-bought salad dressing bottles. Give your salad dressing a squeeze and you’ll deliver a perfect 2 TBSP portion into the top serving chamber. Plus there’s no way you can over-fill the chamber. Pour over your fresh, green salad and enjoy!

Fits most store-bought salad dressing bottles.

How to use:

• Replace existing bottle lid with the Portion Control Dressing Lid.
• Squeeze bottle to fill single-serving chamber.
• Open dressing lid and pour one serving of salad dressing.
• Remove dressing lid when bottle is empty, wash before reuse.
• Top rack dishwasher safe.

Benefits of Portion Control Dressing Lid

When you reach a certain age, and the lips start to get thinner and thinner, you need a lip liner. If you aren’t at that stage yet, lucky you!

My FAV-OR-ITE lip liner is from NYX Cosmetics. Not only is my favorite because of its staying power, and easy application, but you cannot beat the price! It’s $3.50!

The Natural shade (810) is my favorite, because it blends with any color of lipstick, stain, or gloss I might choose.

You can find the NYX line at Ulta. Some drugstores have started carrying some of the products but I think you can only find the complete line at Ulta.

My dear friend Sally-Gally got me hooked on soma.com. Sorry boys, this post is not for you unless of course, you are shopping for a gift.

I think they are most famous for their “Vanishing Edge” line of bras and panties.

No visible panty lines with the panties. More importantly, for those of us over the age of 40, no visible icky back fat with the vanishing line bras. And, I might add, the most comfortable bra I have ever worn! Quadruple love!

They have a wonderful line of sleepwear. Don’t you love this cute pajama set? They also have gowns, robes, and slippers. Swoon.

Soma also carries a really cute line of dresses, loungewear, and swimsuits. AND, there is always a coupon out there if you look hard enough.

Soma is part of Chico’s, so you know it’s good quality stuff. Do yourself a favor and sign up for their passport program. You receive a discount on every purchase, and you get all those yummy coupons and sales emails.
