Happy Halloween and NO Bones About It!! DIY Craft

Image
This craft is simply cute and only takes a few items to make. My grandson loved it when I gave it to him, he said "It's HALLOWEEN?"  I gave it to him the day we made it, he's only 4 years old and has no concept of time. But that made me happy that he loved it. Thanks Cathy for suggesting this craft. Here's what you will need: Marshmallows Mini Marshmallows White Chocolate Covered Pretzels Black Candy Melts Long Lollipop Sticks Toothpicks Clear Treat Bags String Hole Punch " No Bones About it " printable FREE to you our friends :) Instructions : Step 1:  Gather all your supplies to make these as quick as possible. Step 2:  Push the marshmallow onto the end of one of your lollipop sticks. Make the skeleton face with a toothpick and the black candy wafers on the marshmallow.

  Baked Mexican Street Corn  is a different way to eat fresh corn! We couldn't find the Cotija cheese so we used Feta instead.  We both thought the dish was pretty good although  Mom did not like the Feta cheese. Here's what you need to make this tasty recipe: Ingredients 4 ears Corn ½ cup Sour Cream ½ cup Mayonnaise ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder 1 teaspoon Chili Powder 1 ½ cups Cotija cheese crumbled **NOTE : We did add some cilantro, lime zest and juice to the mixture because I noticed the other recipes were calling for it.  Instructions Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and chili powder. (Plus, we added cilantro, lime zest and lime juice!) Cover and refrigerate until the corn is ready. Shuck the corn and remove all corn silk. Cover each ear of corn individually in foil, and wrap tightly. Place directly on the preheated oven rack and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the corn from the oven, unwrap the ...

Rodan + Fields Product Review

Image
We have a long time social media follower & friend that is an independent consultant for Rodan + Fields. Jeanette has sent us sample products before and we loved them. She reached out to us again and said that she had some product samples we could try. She sent us samples of  Enhancements Micro-Dermabrasion Paste &  Active Hydration Body Replenish. The samples were sent in a pretty blue bag with instructions to the products. The first product we sampled was the  Rodan + Fields Enhancements Micro-Dermabrasion Paste. It is a face and body sugar and salt based scrub that gently buffs away dull skin cells and dry, flaky skin. REVIEW : the first thing we noticed is the citrus scent. We applied it to our hands for testing purposes and after washing it off, it left our skin super silky and smooth. It didn't leave a greasy residue and our hands had a bright and vibrant glow. As we get older our skin tends to dry out and look like dried up leaves. Nobody wants that 😉 This...
