Miss Lippy!

Remember that character from Billy Madison, Miss Lippy? I loved that scene where all the little kids are taking a nap and Miss Lippy is eating paste… too funny! Anyway – I’m not a lipstick person. I never have been. I have pretty thin lips and when I put it on – it just looks so foreign. Thick, pasty – you get it on your teeth, it stains mugs, glasses – I end up with it everywhere!! Well, when we got our Seasonal Assortment last month, there was a “Lip Tint Trio” included, perfect for gift giving! I thought, “there’s a great gift for my niece!” What is really nice about it is there are three shades, now usually if I have to – I’m attracted to the peaches, browns – warm colors.

Well, I couldn’t resist – I broke open the pack. Took the lid off “Berry Charming“. Gave it a sniff. Mmmm. Nice. Okay, I’ll try it, I’ve opened the pack – taken off the lid – can’t possibly give it as a gift now. That stuff is great! There’s a nice touch of mint that makes your lips tingle! And, it’s almost transparent – just a touch of color. Not garish, or thick – really nice.

Okay, it’s all mine now – I’ve used all three colors and I’m not giving this set to anyone. I will however, buy new sets for gifts. It’s the perfect stocking stuffer, it’s all natural – no toxins, no chemicals and affordable – three full tubes for $ 12.99, that’s not even one tube at Macy’s!

Bees!!!!

Well, I know I was going to tell you about the 2009 Seasonal Assortment – but first I must tell you what happened last night. I was weeding the flower beds – beds I’ve had for a very long time, when one stubborn weed just wouldn’t come out. I yanked, yanked, yanked – then an overwhelming buzz came over me. Ouch! Ouch! I was being stung by what felt like a million bees! I ran towards the house screaming, “help me, help me” – my poor husband came flying out of the house – I’m batting at my head, stamping my feet – yelling, “get the hose, please – hose me off!” Well, my husband, who’s had cancer and only has one lung moved like the wind and was hosing me off – I’m still screaming, ripping off my clothes (not necessarily a good thing) and trying to get the bees out of my hair – when I hear my husband going into a breathing attack! Horrible! I’m upside-down under a stream of water telling my husband to breathe through his nose, trying to get his breathing under control, finally – it’s working. What a mess we are! Anyway – I’m on fire – crying my eyes out – the worst pain I’ve ever felt (I’ve had three sons all by natural childbirth too!) I can’t take it!!! I found 7 stings on my body and one in my head. Okay, I’m becoming calm – but those stings were like jabbing fire! My husband, the man who saved my life, says “put this on it” – this was Watkins Petro-Carbon Salve. I’m like, “what? I’m dying here” he said, “trust me.” How can I not trust the man who saved my life? I open the tin, get some of that grease on my finger and gently dab it on the spots. Wait, what just happened? It’s going away?!? I’m telling you, swear to God – the pain went away. I was amazed. Totally. I still have some swelling but that pain is gone. I know I’ve recommended products in the past, but you seriously can’t go wrong with this. Click on the “buy Watkins” link and get some, it’s worth the $ 4.99!

Shopping Day!

Well, it happens once a year – the Fall/Holiday assortments become available! I can’t tell you how excited I am! Now, you know I’ve subtly hinted around in each of my posts about Watkins products, duh? Well, today I purchased the 2009 Seasonal Assortment! Loaded with gifts for giving, new mixes and seasonings – and Pumpkin Butter! OMG, who doesn’t love that? You take a nice, toasted whole grain muffin, warm from the toaster of course, and spread some Pumpkin Butter on it! I’m telling you – it’s the Holidays! Honestly, there’s a Lemon Soap/Lemon Lotion set in a wire basket that someone’s getting for Christmas! It constantly amazes me that the products I love, eco-friendly, natural and affordable can be delivered to me in no time. If you do anything for the holidays, bake, give gifts, decorate, anything – I urge you to go to the “buy Watkins” link and just browse. You won’t be sorry! I can hardly wait for the package to come and I just placed my order! Don’t worry though, as soon as I get that package – I’ll be on to tell you about it!
