Favorite Things Friday!!!!

This is my newest favorite find. I know it is not a “name brand” item but it is still wonderful all the same. That’s what makes it even better. I came across this Skin Renewal Night Cream when an acquaintance of mine gave several of her companies items to go in a gift basket for a friend who was about to go through chemotherapy. I thought to myself that I’d like to try this particular item. I had been experiencing the signs of my 50+ age and wanted my skin to look more refreshed. I’m always leery about night creams because they tend to break my skin out. This product did not break out my skin and the first night I used it the next morning my skin did look more refreshed and there were less noticeable lines. So stop by your local CVS Pharmacy and give it a try. If you do let me know what you thought!

So I have to say this is my newest favorite thing!!! If you don’t have one of these you need to get one. I have used mine three times this week and plan to use it tonight to make a chicken/potato soup. This is the Emeril Lagasse Pressure Air Fryer Plus. I chose it instead of the Instant Pot because it also had the air fryer. While most recipes out there are for the Instant Pot, it is pretty easy to convert them to this and the air fryer is a definite plus!

Favorite Things Friday!!!

Late Fall, Winter, and early Spring in Texas can be a wonderful time. While the weather can be unpredictable, it can, also, provide for some of the most incredible experiences. Last night was one of those nights. We spent several hours sitting around a warm fire outside with friends as we passed out Halloween candy to the trick-or treators. There is nothing like sitting around a fire outside where you can talk about your hopes and dreams, your children, your successes, your struggles, and your memories. Sometimes just sitting and staring into the flames is all your need. It’s relaxing and tends to soothe the soul and makes for great memories!

Came across this yesterday and knew I had to share it as my new favorite thing. I love this song “Love Won’t Give Up.” My favorite line in the song is “The Cross is all the confidence I need. Your love won’t give up on me. You never make a promise you don’t keep. Your love won’t give up on me.”

It’s Fall Ya’ll!!!!!! You know it’s Fall when Advocare makes available it’s Pumpkin Spice Meal Replacement Shake. It is one of my very favorite things and I always stock up while it’s available. If you want to order go to my “Advocare” page above, scroll down until you see the Pumpkin Spice Ad and then click on “shop”. It makes for a great meal replacement or even a good snack!

One of my favorite things to watch is a minister or pastor who can take the Word of God and make it apply to my every day life. Recently I came across the pastor of Elevation Church, Steven Furtick. Now he may not be some peoples favorite type of pastor but he has a way of speaking truth into an every day life like no one I’ve seen in a long time. The link below is one of his messages about anxiety. Our world today is filled with so much anxiety. Our kids face more anxiety and depression with every day and every invention of a new technology that is suppose to make our lives better and easier. If you have 20 minutes to take a listen to this message I think you will be very blessed. Have a wonderful weekend!

Great Grab & Go Snack!!!!

20 g of protein, 26 vitamins & minerals, ONLY 140 calories!!! Comes in both vanilla & chocolate. Go to my Advocare tab above to order.

One of my very favorite things is my Polar 400 Fitness Watch. If you don’t have some kind of fitness watch I highly recommend investing in one. There are some really good ones on the market. Polar is my favorite but the Apple Watch and Fitbit are really good too. It’s the only way to truly know if you are working hard enough when you are training.
Coreplex is one of the most complete multi-vitamins I have found on the market. The lifestyles we lead these days tend to keep us from getting the vitamins and minerals we need in our diets. So, this is a great product to help fill in the gaps. Plus, you can know it’s one of the best because it has the Advocare name on it. To order go to the “Advocare” tab above.
One of my new favorite things I’ve found is Gold Bond Strength and Resilience lotion. As we age our skin gets dry and loses some elasticity. I’ve found this lotion really helps my skin look tighter and firmer especially just above the knees. Give it a try and let me know what you think. You can find it at most grocery or drug stores.
Omegaplex is one of my very favorite products from Advocare. This product is Omega-3 fatty acids and supports cardiovascular health, the immune and nervous systems, and healthy skin, hair, and nails. My mother’s physician said Advocare’s product is one of the best you can find on the market. When my son had a concussion, his physician prescribed omega-3 fatty acids because of how it helps the brain to heal and function properly. That’s just the beginning why this is one of my favs!!! To order go up to the Advocare tab above and click to order.
  • This weeks favorite thing is Mary Kay’s Extra Emollient Night Cream! Its one of my very favorite things. You can use it as a night cream but it’s awesome as a lip balm or hand cream. If you’d like to order it you can order from my very good friend Jamie at www.marykay.com/jamiehackney She’s an amazing lady!!!!

One of my very favorite things are Bath & Body Works/White Barn candles. They are the best smelling candles I’ve ever found and there are so many fragrances to choose from. I love all the vanilla flavors!!!! Watch for when they have sales. Several times a year they sale them for half price. That’s the time to stock up!!!!!
This is one of my very favorite things. I drink this with every workout for added energy and the much needed amino acids my body needs replaced during my workout.
