Happy Father's Day

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Father's Day! Cheers to all ya'll havin' a wonderful celebration with the fathers in your life!

One more thing ...to all the single moms, who are doing double duty as both parents, we salute you!

Women went to work during the war, and some really liked it and didn't want to return to home life.  Some liked it but did want to return. Since this time, the role of women in the home and the workplace has shifted, and women have began to shoulder both the home and the work, and the family.

To each woman at home with the family on this fathers day, just know, for you, today is "FaMother's" Day!  Celebrate yourself and the success you have in raising a family, while maintaining the home and working while also serving in your community!  Thank you for your dedicated efforts!

Now, how about some videos from the Youtube channel that showcase some great gift ideas for Father's day.

Hello Gorgeous! Happy Memorial Day weekend! A special thank you to all the men and women of the armed forces past and present for their service and sacrifice.

I appreciate you and all that you do! God bless the USA!

Now let's talk about men: if you have need a Father's Day gift or to upgrade your hygiene routine, consider some L'Occitane to do it with.

The L'Occitane brand is made in France and free from parabens and petrochemicals.

These 3 body care products are great for staples in your daily routine: the Verdon Outdoor Moisturizer with spf 30 which is a non greasy, fast drying, fresh scent and most importantly-dries matte on the skin so your face isn't shiny, just protected.

The BAUX deoderant is alcohol free and fast drying on the skin, so no sticky armpit here!

And my personal favorite of the trio is the shower gel-it smells amazing, and is good for hair and body. The description below is from the website http://www.loccitane.com and is a great description of the scent and product. I liked it better than how I was going to describe it-so enjoy. Now go get some for you and your dad, grad, birthday or any day!

The rugged aroma of L'Occitane Eau de Toilette. Redolent with authentic A.O.C. lavender, blended with the peppery, nutmeg scent of burnt wood. Purifies the body, cleanses and shines hair.

Remember: you are beautiful! Or...handsome in this case!
