Time Flies!

Wow, I have been very busy. Too busy to write about all the nice things in the beauty world that I like. My house is a mess and right now, at 9:15 on a school night, I am planning lessons for my classroom, and I still need to pack a lunch and put away the mountains of clothes on my bed. Do you ever have those times when you have started several projects and haven't finished any of them, and you continue to take things out of closets and drawers but you don't put anything away, and it all just gets away from you and there is no stopping? Welcome to my crazy, mixed up world. For example, right here on my desk is a lovely little vase with pretty pink flowers from a wedding I went to on Saturday, and sitting right next to them is a can of WD-40. Does that make sense? I think not, yet I am in no hurry to find a better place for the WD-40...it has sort-of become a part of my landscape here.

So, what I like right now:

1. Pink flowers--I bought some pink peonies at Trader Joe's today and they look great. The pink English roses and calla lilies at the wedding were awesome. And the pink pillows I made, that the cats like to shed on.

2. Softlips lip balm. It is in a tube. Kareen inspired me to try it. It's nice, and on sale at Walgreen's. And it does NOT form an occlusive barrier.

3. The mini peanut butter cups from Trader Joe's. Yum.

4. The geranium soap from Pangea. They are an organic and evironmentally sound company that makes lotions and soap and stuff. The soap came in this little cardboard-ish box that has seeds right in the paper. You soak the box and then plant it and then herbs and stuff grow. Neat! The soap smells yummy. I got it at Cost Plus, but I think I have seen the line at natural food stores, too.

5. WD-40. It's handy to have around.

That's all for now. I need to lesson-plan and figure out how much more I cram into the brains of my third graders in three weeks. Summer is coming!!
