I don’t know a single child that doesn’t want a pet. Even if you already have pets, your children want more. Maybe your significant other wants a pet, but you just don’t have the time, patience, and/or money for a pet. Why not get them the next best thing? Get them a pet that has some of the responsibilities of a REAL pet, but is really a TOY!? It sounds crazy right? I thought the same thing! I am so excited to tell you about the toy of the year!!

Have you every wondered what was in your soap? Not all soaps list the ingredients, but when they do, do you ever wonder if they listed everything? Or even more importantly, do you wonder how it’s made? I take a lot of time reading ingredients because I am just a curious person. After years of reading soap, shampoo, lotions, and other ingredient lists, I am now interested in making my own soap! Not only are you in control of the ingredients, scent, and textures, you can feel accomplished after making your own soap. It is a fun and unique experience and I know a subscription box that will send you everything you need!

Something that I have always loved is a girls night out! Getting all dolled up, laughing with the ladies, and drinking wine. It is always so fun. Whether it is in the home or a night out on the town, you want to look your best and feel your best. Why not dress your wine glass up too? I know you are thinking, “That sounds strange.” It is actually a really cool and fun idea!

Before I begin with anything, I must begin by telling you that I am addicted to candles. I literally have a closet for my candles. It’s a guilty pleasure, I admit it. Since I do have this love for candles, I know the struggle, more than the average person, of trying to light one. Have you ever tried to light a deep candle with a regular lighter? You either burn yourself or you have to flip the candle upside down or to the side to light it. It is so annoying and it is a struggle. Also, for non-smokers, it’s annoying because I can never find a lighter. I have been using our grill lighter, but that is only if I can find it! One thing that I never though of was a candle lighter. Did you know that there are lighters specifically made for lighting candles? Did you know you could actually light your candles with ease?

Do you ever get sick of drinking the same thing over and over again? Obviously drinking soda, juice, water, or anything else is an every day thing. It isn’t exciting or fun. It’s just what we do to survive. The majority of us don’t make our own drinks. I mean, we pour them in a glass and drink. That’s it. We don’t have a say so of what goes in them, how sweet they are, or how carbonated they are. We purchase them from the store and drink them. That’s it. With that said, have you ever thought about making your own drinks? More specifically speaking, have you ever considered making your own soda? Yes, it is possible for the average person to make their own soda. Why not change your daily routine? Why not make something, as simple as drinking, FUN? I love the idea of turning every day routines into an activity or a game that the entire family can enjoy! How does that sound to you?

I need lip balm, just like the next girl does. The problem with me is that I never remember to put it on and frankly, I am not the biggest fan of sticky stuff on my lips. I hate lip balm that wipes off onto everything or that my long hair sticks to. Ugh, or even worse, is a lip balm with a disgusting smell and taste. My thoughts on lip balm are bitter, no pun intended. I never even buy any because I feel like I am never going to find a lip balm that I will actually wear. Well, never say never folks…

I always need more kitchen towels. I use them for everything. Probably more things than I should. I use them to clean the counters, clean the stove, dry the dishes, to dry my hands, and much more. In my home, kitchen towels are like bobby pins- they are always needed and can never be found! They always disappear. Does anyone else have this pesky problem?

For the past few years I have kept my Cotton Swabs and Cotton Balls in the bags/boxes that they come in. I kept them under the sink and would have to inconveniently reach under it every time I needed one. Sometimes I need one quickly to use for my nails or makeup (I know, such a girly reasoning). I don’t know why I never thought of a more convenient way to organize these. When I bought my vanity, I added some cotton swabs and cotton balls to my makeup organizers, but that still left me without a great organizer for my bathroom.
