Some of my new favorite things...

Let's see... (I know I totally over use ... both here and on FB, but I just can't help it, I'm kind of addicted). First up, is readthescriptures.com . I LOVE this website! I'm really bad about reading my scriptures, I'll be the first to admit it! But this site sends you your scheduled reading everyday thru your email. And it keeps track of how your doing with a little progress bar. Kinda juvenile, I know, but it helps motivate me! And then I have this email glaring at me all day--so I always get it done early, so I don't feel guilty wasting time later on FB or searching for blogs about Rainbow parties for Kiah's bday in a few months.

Next up, is Nanocleanse . I guess you kinda need the backstory for this one. All my life, I've had relatively good skin. The occasional zit, but never bad acne. Until I got pregnant with Kiah (3 1/2 years ago), since then, I've had a steady little mountain range on my chin. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good. I'd tried some of the inexpensive OTC products, and they'd work at first and then my skin would get used to it or something. Well, either Mike felt really bad for me or got tired of me complaining, not sure which, but he did some research and ordered me Nanocleanse. Now first off, it's expensive--$30 a bottle. But it works. I've been using it for almost 2 months now and my chin is clear! Yay! I'll still get an occasional zit--but just one, not a mountain range--and it goes away in about 2 days. Oh yeah, the best part is that it's just a cleanse--not a whole system. Just massage on your skin for 1-2 min morning and night and you're done. That's it. It's a great product, I'm finally happy with my skin again.

Okay, what else??? I read all the Percy Jackson books this year and really LOVED them!

Here's some old favs that are worth mentioning again...
Swagbucks ---seriously, if you're not signed up, you're missing out on FREE MONEY. We've earned over $100 in Amazon gift cards just for using SB as our search engine.
My Chi flat iron--one of the best gifts I've ever received, I owe my mom for life!
Oh and two of my newest fav websites...
Our Best Bites
(How perfect would these be for Kiah's Rainbow Bday party?!?)
And My Baking Addiction
(We made these for dessert yesterday... YUM!)

Well, I guess that's it for now! I'll keep you updated when I find more great stuff!

I hear you about distractions. I've got many! But yours are meaningful, at least ie. the scriptures. I love that site! You are such a fun mom and friend. :)

I love this post. I think I should post some of my favs so that I can return the favor you have just given me to others. Definitely checking out some of those favs. My sister showed me Swagbucks and yes I am a fan of free money.

I just finished all the Percy Jackson books too and I totally loved them! He has another series that's kinda similar, the first one is called The Lost Hero. I haven't actually read it yet, but it's on my to do list.
