I was fortunate enough to be able to try out Ivory soap through Influenster. And I am very happy to say that I am glad that I did! Ivory is a wonderful product to use as a facial cleanser - it left my face feeling so smooth and soft, and the scent was nice and light.

I also liked that half the bar wasn't gone after one use - this seems to happen a lot with bars of soap, which is why I usually stay away from … [Read more...]
Lighted Willow Branch Candles
I don't know about you, but I absolutely love candles. For me, sitting in a room with just candles lit makes me much more calmer and I feel at peace. I have a fascination with just starting at a candle and watching it dance around. With a child, though, I do not get to do this as often as I would like to.

Sometimes I would use lotion afterwards and sometimes I would use baby oil. Now that my daughter is older, I like to sometimes put in … [Read more...]
