Uplifting Story #2...Blessing Box

****UPDATED 8/5/23****

Roman Espinoza in Watertown, New York. Picture is property of CNN.


Here's an uplifting story for you called The Blessing Box originally reported by Konstantin Toropin from CNN on July 11, 2017.
It's about a man who builds a food pantry on his lawn so the hungry can eat. What a great idea! You know, it just takes one person to start something as great as a blessing box.
We hope you read the article and watch our video on this story. Maybe you even have a story you'd like to tell. Just drop us an email with your story and maybe we will feature it in our Uplifting Story series.



Keep it Sassy, 
Kelly

We Need Your Help with Purchasing Video Equipment - TIP JAR



We need your help with purchasing video equipment for our videos. Our equipment works okay but we'd like to have a better camera, lighting and a microphone. With the TIP JAR we can eventually purchase these items.

If you enjoy our videos and you'd like to help us out, even if it's a dollar, we would be so excited.  We have yet to decide the type of camera and lighting we would like to have, so we will let you know when we have figured it out. We really aren't all that savvy when it comes to all this technical stuff but we are willing to try. Can't fault a girl for trying. ;)

THANKS IN ADVANCE !!

Rodan + Fields Redefine Regimen Skincare Review


We girls were contacted by a Rodan + Fields consultant, Jeanette Shaver, to review Redefine Regimen Skincare products. She sent us samples to try. This review is based on 2 applications per step.

The first was the Daily Cleansing mask. It is an exfoliating kaolin clay-based mask that you gently message with wet fingers into dry skin, then leave on for two minutes or so until it dries, and rinse off. We all agreed it was a smooth application and dried within the allotted time of 2 minutes. It felt like it was tightening the skin and left a refreshed feeling after washing.

The second step was the Night Renewing Serum. Time-release technology works all night to reduce anti-aging and wrinkles. Former younger looking skin. Night renewing serum contains a proprietary blend of powerful peptides and retinol.  It had a silky feel while applying and dried verily quickly. You are to apply a moisturizer after this step. 

Jeanette also sent us a lip serum and this was a bit oily but felt good on the lips. Kelly thought it made her lips feel plump after the second application. This serum is suppose to reduce lip wrinkles.

All in all, we agreed that the products were worth exploring, although we don't know the prices at this point.




You can contact Jeanette Shaver for more information on Rodan + Fields products.

Uplifting Story: Trash Man Creates Free Library with Books Found in Garbage

***UPDATED 7/14/23***


We are bombarded with bad news all day long from most network news shows. We don't know about you but we are tired of the hatefulness we see day in and day out. So, we are going to make it our mission to bring you uplifting stories from around the world that have touched our hearts.
This story actually came from GoodNewsNetwork.org.

There is a garbage man in Bogota, Columbia who began salvaging books that people were throwing out. He hated to see them in the trash bins so he started his own library in his neighborhood.

When he decided to rescue the books from the trash, it created a "snowball effect" that inspired him to continue saving discarded literature.

Jose Gutierrez has since collected over 20,000 books for his FREE library. He appropriately named the library "Strength of Words". He opens up his home to the children in his community on the weekends. He doesn't limit his book-lending to children, he has sent books to FARC rebels who are preparing to assimilate into civilian life.

For more information on this awesome story go to Good News Network.

Check out our video about the TRASHMAN...






Keep it sassy,
Kelly

HOW TO: Take care of Blueberries



It's blueberry season and oh how we love to eat them. There are a couple of things you need to know:
1. How to store blueberries so they don't turn moldy.
2. How to make a delicious dessert using blueberries.

Here are some helpful tips to ensure your blueberries stay fresh:
1. Check for mold before you buy them. Mold spreads quickly when they are in close contact. One bad blueberry can make the whole bunch bad.
2. Don't rinse unless you have to. The key is to keep them dry in storage. Rinse what you will use or at least let them dry before putting them back in the refrigerator.
3. Make sure you blueberries are dry. If you've rinsed them, just make sure you use a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture and the air circulation will deter mold.
4. Refrigerate your blueberries. Make sure they get air, so don't put them in the crisper. Blueberries will stay good for up to a week when stored this way.
5. Freeze them if they seem overripe. Spread the blueberries on a rimmed baking sheet, let them firm up in the freezer, then transfer them into a resealable plastic bag and pop them back in the freezer. They will keep for quite a few months, which means you can make all kinds of desserts later in the year.

Kelly makes the most delicious blueberry sorbet. Here's the recipe she uses from Simply Recipes - Blueberry Sorbet.




We hope you watch the latest video on How To Take Care of Blueberries :)

July 4th 2017 - Let's Party!!! Drinkie Drinkie!!

***UPDATED 6/25/23***


It’s time for fireworks, hot dogs, flags and fun facts about our country and Independence Day. We girls also think it's time for some fun drinks!! Watch the video below and you'll understand what we're talking about.

The Fourth of July marks our country’s birthday. On this day in 1776, the members of the Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia, adopting the final draft of the Declaration of Independence, proclaiming our sovereignty from Great Britain.
There are many ways Americans commonly choose to celebrate this holiday – from family-friendly festivals, fireworks and parades to feasting on traditional foods like hot dogs and barbecue.

Here are 10 interesting things you may or may not already know about the 4th of July:
  1. Initially adopted by Congress on July 2, 1776, the revised version of the Declaration of Independence was not adopted until two days later.
  2. Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence on a "laptop," a kind of writing desk that could fit on one's lap.
  3. One of the United States patriotic songs, “Yankee Doodle” was originally sung by British military officers prior to the Revolution as a means to mock the disorganized American colonists who fought alongside them during the French and Indian Wars.
  4. To avoid cracking it, the Liberty Bell has not been rung since 1846. To mark the quintessential day, every fourth of July it is symbolically tapped 13 times.
  5. Americans consume about 155 million hot dogs on Independence Day alone; it is the biggest hot dog holiday of the year.
  6. The country’s 30th president, Calvin Coolidge, was born on Independence Day in 1872.
  7. In July 1776, the estimated number of people living in the newly independent nation was 2.5 million.  According to the U.S. and World Population Clock, the nation’s estimated population in July 2017 will be 325.3 million.
  8. Three U.S. Presidents, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe, died on July 4th; Adams and Jefferson died within hours of each other in 1826 while Monroe died in 1831.
  9. The “Star Spangled Banner” was written by Francis Scott Key during the War of 1812 and was not decreed as the official national anthem of the United States until 1931.
  10. In 1954, the words ‘under God’ were added to the Pledge of Allegiance.
How do you and your family celebrate the 4th of July? Have any additional fun historical facts to add?

Keep it sassy,
Kelly
