The Anti-Pasty Lotion

Ok, first of all, let me begin with-I am NOT, repeat, NOT an Avon representative (nor are they endorsing me, though I think they should...I would love for them to send me products to try). Bottom line, if you're interested don't contact me because, I can only sell you mine. :)

My mom brought me this, "just to try"...and well, I LOVE IT! I have only been using it a few days and feel like I'm so tan! In reality, I'm probably still pretty white, but that's just because I was REALLY white before. Maybe this is a premature declaration of my love, I did just return from the beach. Maybe my skin has changed and now I suddenly tan quickly and easily...eh, probably not.

What I love: it's clear-yes, clear! Has a nice smell, no medicine-y smell, and seems to work!

It takes a little longer than regular lotion to set in my skin, (so it feels a little slimy for a while, but it's a nice glisten :) ) but nothing that's gross or uncomfortable to me; a price I'm willing to pay. Thanks mom. :)

Mothers and Daughters

Just a warning, I am standing on my 'soapbox', so turn back now if you don't want to hear my rant of the day. I have strong opinions, so read at your own risk. :) I just watched this video, Mothers and Daughters , and had to share it. I watched a very disturbing episode of Oprah yesterday (the DVR recorded another episode for some reason). I won't go in to details, but despite all of the discussion I was very upset and surprised by the actions of the mother. She was basically the opposite of what a mother should reflect. She offered no love, support, encouragement and in this particular situation protection for any of her children. I particularly like how Elder Ballard mentions what expectations we as women are presented with today. Pointing out how, women are often made to look silly, and objectified. Our roles, that we are divinely given, are continually undermined . Women seek guidance on how we should look, what we should wear etc. from people that really do...

What's Fabric?

David's Bridal Highly Educated & Well Informed Employee: Thank you for calling DB. How can I help you? Me: Hi, yes I'm trying to order several yards of fabric. DBHE&WIE: I'm sorry, what? I don't understand you? Me: I'm trying to order some fabric. DBHE&WIF: order what? Me: Fabric. F-A-B-R-I-C (yes, I spelled it out for her just mistakenly thinking this would in some way make the communicating proces easier). DBHE&WIE: I don't know what that is. Me: (stunned, but I'm used to working with stupid people on the phone...here's my attempt to 'dumb it down') the stuff the clothes are made of--cotton, taffeta..? DBHE&WIE: Oh! Oh, I don't know...let me transfer you to alterations. Long story short: alterations first language was NOT English. She transferred me back... Hung up--called another location. They're going to call me back tomorrow to let me know. ps Tanlee-you owe me.

9 Months and Counting...

Where have the past 9 months gone?? I keep looking through her pictures/videos from the day she was born and the next weeks that followed...I can't believe how big she's getting. She is so fun and full of personality. She has always been an "easy" baby: she's slept through the night since about 3 months, usually follows a (rough) nap schedule , eats all the fruits and veggies that we send her way, she's healthy and generally a happy baby. Oh, and she's about a 100 on the cuteness scale from 1-10. She's not afraid to speak her mind; she's VERY vocal. She is very curious and adventurous; she's crawling, and climbing and standing (unassisted-for a few seconds at least)...this girl doesn't miss a thing! Every time we have a check-up the Dr. just laughs at how active and curious and vocal she is and says something to the effect of, "she's going to be fun ." ...bringing a whole new meaning to the word fun... I can't ...
