Super Savings Saturday – 4/15/17

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday.

This week was filled with fantastic savings! For less than $10.00, I came home with toothpaste, medicine, hair care, and laundry detergent. That alone would be a great price, but $6.49 will be coming back in a refund, making it super extra awesome!

Rite Aid:

Purex Free & Clear, sale price $1.99, plus $1.99 Plenti Points!

Walgreens:

Even though this is my least favorite store to coupon at, there were so many things on sale that I gave it a try. Good news: it worked perfectly!

I did multiple transactions to roll rewards.

Transaction #1: Colgate Advanced toothpaste, sale price $2.99. I used a $0.75 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $2.24 plus $2.50 Register Reward.

Transaction #2: Repeated the Colgate deal.

Transaction #3: Two boxes Wal-Dryl allergy relief tabs, sale price $3.00. Total: $6.00. I used $5.00 in Register Rewards and $1.00 cash, plus I received another $5.00 Reward.

Books I Love – Complete Guide to Bible Journaling

I’ve always believed that every person has a spiritual side. Some of us feel comfortable identifying with a particular religion, but there are many more who reject traditional methods of observance. In the Jewish community, it seems like people are disengaging left and right, in search of alternate ways to practice their faith.

If you hate performing rituals, never attend temple, and don’t pray on a regular basis, but still yearn to grow spiritually, The Complete Guide to Bible Journaling should be on your book shelf.

By focusing on art, which is something most ladies enjoy, it’s easy to explore the Bible in a less structured way. As someone who already has a strong faith, I liked reading the pages first, then going back and creating. For my sister, who is not religious at all, it was the opposite—she simply enjoyed coloring. Even though we’re on different ends of the spectrum ideologically, we both had fun doodling, taking away different things from the experience.

With over 150 paper designs, 270 colored stickers, and 60 designs printed on translucent vellum, we sure had a lot to choose from! There is so much versatility, too, since the designs can be used like a regular coloring book, traced, used as Bible margin art, or as bookmarks.

The Complete Guide to Bible Journaling is divided into six sections:

Getting Started – How to begin and how to choose the best Bible for you
Tools and Techniques – 12 different methods, including page prep
Artist Profiles – Shares the individual stories of contributing Bible artists
Shanna Noel, Karla Dornacher, Valery Sjodin, Sephra Travers, Valerie Wieners-Massie, Rebecca Rios, Tai Bender, Krista Hamrick, Jennifer Rydin, Rebekah Jones and Christina Lowery
Gallery – Showcasing examples out of the Bible, in the Bible, and different styles
Resources – Artist websites, various social media groups, & other ways to connect
Bonus section – This was my favorite! It’s filled with the tabs, stickers, traceable patterns and more.

No matter which medium you prefer, this book has it covered: lettering, drawing, coloring, painting, embellishing, stamping, stenciling, and so much more. I don’t have much artistic ability, but I sure know how to go wild with a box of Crayola!

The Complete Guide to Bible Journaling combines faith and creativity into one neat package with lots of appeal.

Painful Pregnant Feet Need MommySteps Maternity Insoles

3 Replies

Soreness, swelling, and widening of the feet are all common during pregnancy, leading to an uncomfortable experience. I had these symptoms coupled with dizziness—all of which made me feel very unsteady walking around. It seemed like every part of my legs hurt from hip bones, knees, ankles, and toes!

I tried using special lotions, compression socks, heated booties, foot pads, and even bought a few pairs of new shoes. While those provided minor relief, there is a better option available: MommySteps™ Maternity Insoles.

Unlike regular shoe inserts from the store, MommySteps are heat activated. You simply warm them in the oven and shape them around your own foot for a custom fit. They can be re-adjusted up to 3 times, allowing for continued growth as pregnancy progresses and more weight comes on. Each MommySteps insert provides a cushioned cradle, with optimal arch and heel support.

There are two styles available, Casual/Flats (Black) and Athletic/Active (Blue). I didn’t notice much difference between them and found that both worked equally well, depending on whatever shoe option I needed for a particular day or occasion.

MommySteps come with a 60-day comfort fit guarantee, so satisfaction won’t be an issue. Anyone struggling with foot/leg pain will definitely consider them worth every penny. It would also be a useful gift for someone who’s expecting.
