Home Hair Removal That Works

Olay Smooth Finish Facial Hair Removal Duo for Fine to Medium Hair

Ever tried home hair removal products only to be disappointed? Yeah, me too! Finally, I can say that THIS product is a winner! Happy dance. 
 
I really don't want to spend extra time at the salon to get waxed, when using this product only takes about ten minutes total, in the comfort of my home.  Only downside is. . . it isn't for eyebrows. 

With a pricetag of about $22.47, as well as containing enough product for several uses (depending on 1. how often you use it  AND  2. how much you use), makes this an item a good buy.  It comes in two varieties, depending on the texture of your hair.  Not to mention it was not irritating to my skin.  Of course that doesn't mean it won't be for you, so always test in a small area just to be sure.  

     Tip: after using hair removal system, apply either Aloe Vera or baby oil to soothe skin.  

Around the house:

Bissell 3-in-1 Stick Vac Lightweight Vacuum

 

 

 Every mommy needs one of these! Let me just tell ya, after we installed hard wood floors throughout our house I purchased sooo many brooms, dust mops, dust pans... basically spent a small fortune on anything to keep the dust and the dreadful dog hair off the floor! I had a janitorial shrine in my laundry room!!
Then one day I saw this little beauty sittin' there on the end cap at our local Wal-Mart store! I was hesitant to buy it at first, but heck on Black Friday special for $8.00, I thought I'd give it a try. To make a long story short... my cute little Bissell made  my "best purchases of all time" list. It works better than a broom and dust pan, and you don't have to worry about cleaning out the dust mop. Just dump the canister out when needed!
It's also the perfect cleaning tool for little hands that want to help around the house! Macie and Addison love to "vacuum" the wood and tile surfaces with "Barbie the Bissell"... tehehe, I like to give all of my best friends nicknames!
You can still buy one at most Wal-Mart stores for around 20.00 bucks! I've had mine about two years and still working perfectly! I did go ahead and buy one more for safe keeping,  just in case! ;)



It's All About Saving Time

Planning ahead.  Oh how great that sounds right?  If we could only plan ahead.  

It doesn't have to be painful.  It really can save so much time without having to put forth a whole lot of effort.  

For example: 

Going to brown some ground beef tonight for tacos?  Why not brown a couple pounds at once and put half in the freezer?  Use a freezer bag, put the desired amount inside, and throw it in there...the freezer that is.  When ready to use for chili, sloppy joes or homemade pizza...just pop the frozen, browned meat into the microwave until desired temp and VIOLA.
Add the meat to whatever you're cooking up, without having to brown and drain the meat.
You just saved some time in your future MOMMY! 

 Don't be stubborn about saving time.
Make a big ole batch of beef next time you're in the kitchen and freeze it up!

Safety First

In the kitchen:

Use a pizza cutter to cut up pancakes and waffles!

Yep, a pizza Cutter. It saves time and cuts down on the mess!

 

 

 

 

Put icing in condiment bottle (can be bought at dollar tree stores) to decorate holiday cookies and treats with the kiddos. Way less mess than using bowls of icing and eating utensils!!!
