Six days into 2018 and I'm writing the first post of the year! Unfortunately I haven't been putting much content out. Mostly because life and the holi-daze got in the way. But that's no excuse, since this blog is about "life" at peonieshouse. The thing is, there hasn't been much "life" going on at Peonieshouse. (My closet on poshmark) I've been a bad reseller. Haven't listed or shared much of anything. I keep putting tasks on my to do list regarding my reselling business. Yet, none of them get checked off. Apparently I don't like money. (Sarcasm)
Here's a small recap of what's happened over here. If anyone cares to know. Jajaja I'll share that first & then I'll be sharing a few products I feel are the absolute perfect gifts. Yes I know Christmas is over. But gifts can be given year round. & these are very useful in my opinion. I kinda wish, I would have received these in my stocking! (Hint...hint)
Let me get started with the recap...
Life sure does like to test us. Amirite? We have three cars and for some reason they all decided to fail us. Not completely, but they did need some type of repair. Now you may say, why do we need three vehicles?... We don't, but none are "new" models. One is my honey's car, which he's worked on for a long time. The other is a car we got for me to use when our son was born. But it gave us trouble and we had it parked for a while; Until we invested on it and fixed it. By that time we had already purchased the one I drive now. I didn't want to sell the second car, since we invested on it. & so we kept it for the husband to use as an off road type vehicle. Since they aren't "new" models they're obviously going to need more maintenance than newer car models. *sigh*
Between that and our son being sick constantly since mid September. Poor thing has caught pink eye, bronchitis, strep, and a stomach bug. Stress levels were definitely high around here. Also dealing with my mother's health issues. (Which I really don't want to get in on that, on this post)
I'm really hoping my son's immune system gets stronger soon. School stars again on Monday and we (mostly him), need a break from being sick.
I'll be starting school in 2 weeks. my last class before I get my Associates degree! & tranfer to a University! Which definitely scares me.
I really need to get myself together and work harder on the business because I really want to move asap!!!
Enough of my life... Here are the products that I am currently obsessing over.
First are these Elf brush cleanser wipes. There are 10 individual packs in the box and they are alcohol free! If there's one thing I have been terrible at doing, it's washing my makeup brushes. I don't wear makeup daily and I don't buy expensive brushes. I love these wet n wild brushes. Or these elf brushes. Both work for my routine, since I'm not a makeup genius.
I have been buying my cheap brushes, instead of washing them!!! There's my first confession of the year!
The box of the brush cleanser wipes costs $3 which makes each wipe .30 cents. That's a price I'm willing to pay to lengthen the time between washes. Also you can clean multiple brushes with one wipe.
This product I have been using for some time now. In my opinion, it's not only practical but also a thoughtful product to give to anyone. (Who uses jewelry)
It is a jewelry cleanser cloth! These are available for silver or gold jewelry. I have tried the silver cloth and it takes the tarnish off and leaves my necklaces shiny. Find the silver one here. Or both sets here.
Third product, I have not tested yet. But is definitely on my wishlist for the spring. It is a foot mask called baby feet. From what I've heard and read, these foot masks will make your feet peel off after 2 weeks of using them. The dead skin will peel off. Leaving your feet new, like baby feet. I can't wait to try before spring.
Lastly, this is kind of silly but I don't have one and need one. A pocket mirror! You can never go wrong with a pocket mirror. May sound vein to some people. But I don't want to walk around with a booger in my nose, or my lipstick smeared. I found these I included below.
That concludes the products I'm currently obsessing over and the recap of the crazy life we're living over here. I will try, try to be more exciting in hopes of being able to produce more content.
Sometimes real life can feel like a whirlwind but is just plain and boring for others.
Thank You for reading my thoughts and let me know your thoughts on the products listed above.
XOXO,
Carla
