Back to School Already! What Do You Need to Prepare?

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Monday - I love Mondays and this is the last Monday before school gets back in session.
Sigh.
So. Not. Ready.

When I was a kid, I loved going back to school! Especially the new school supplies!

Today's video is a quick inquiry about what do you need to get ready for back to school?
Let me know in the comments!




And...a special shout out to my amazing niece who has just started her YouTube channel,

Mask Monday with Miss Spa Hydrate sheet mask

Hi ya Gorgeous!
I hope you had an awesome Father's Day celebration. Even for those who do not have a good relationship with a natural father figure, you can always go to Abba God and trust that He is a good good father!

I have really enjoyed blogging as much as I have these past weeks that my son has been road trippin' with his Grandparents across the United States. I'm writing this as he is en route to home!

I do have a the "Wine Wednesday" blogged and scheduled for you - and - I have a special event skincare blog post coming up for you, and there are some product reviews coming up also.

Though, for me, it's back to super summer Mom and Cub time! Oh Moms, especially you young moms with your lil bairns still nursing, listen to me, the time goes by so fast. I know. I know. Everyone says that and you are currently so tired beyond belief and there are so many sleepless nights!

But! Trust that it's just for a season and before you know it, you will have a tween who is planning on his 17th birthday party and how I can just put the birthday cake in a ziploc bag and he will eat it on his way to the Air Force Academy.  Whoa. Where does the time go?  I'm making it a greater priority now more than ever to soak in every moment I can with him because the time is short!

So speaking of short time, today is Monday and for me that means "mask" Monday. I have it scheduled on my Google calendar, synced to my phone, and also written in red ink on the desk calendar that I need to mask my skin. I have a plan to mask a minimum of 2 times a week and preferably 3!

I'm using the Miss Spa hydrate sheet mask and it's a must in the super dry, hot, windy Arizona weather! I sit down to read or watch a show and let the mask set, then pull off the paper and massage any serum left on from the mask into my skin and finish with my moisturizer.

 If you need a great mask, try this, I get mine on Amazon or you can find at Ulta Beauty!  Plus...I have seen a section at Walmart that has a wide assortment of facial masks! No excuses! Take good care of you!

Because you are worth it!

Ban Total Refresh Cooling Body Cloths : for desert people who are not used to humidity

 Hi ya Gorgeous!
Quick update from the Queen Mary and all her splendor!

The weather is amazing with a cool mid 70's but the humidity is also in the mid 70's. It's a bit like Florida! So my challenge is, I love the coast and the ocean, but the muggy humidity is not my friend!

My hair is one big puff ball! Oy!

I brought a long my sample of the Ban Total Refresh Cooling Body Cloths and thank goodness. They help wipe off the mugginess of the humidity.

The cloth leaves a light, dry, powdery feel on your skin and reminds me of using Gold Bond powder for sweaty toes in immitation leather shoes!
