I have tried—and enjoyed!—many of their products, but my absolute favorite is the Ultimate Ocean Mineral Collection. Full of super ingredients from the land and sea, they offer superior cleansing and moisturizing for any skin type, helping skin to repair and rejuvenate.

The 4-piece collection includes everything necessary for a skin care routine:

Not only do these products smell nice and work well, we have peace of mind knowing that they are never tested on animals and every order comes with a 365-day, 100% hassle-free, money back guarantee that even includes shipping costs! (When a company is willing to stand by their products at that level, quality is a given.)

Wild Winter Weather

Are most of you experiencing wild weather, too? Here in New England, it’s much warmer than usual and we haven’t had any snow yet.

It seems like it’s one extreme to the next. Last winter we experienced the snowiest season in 40 years while tomorrow it’s supposed to reach 66 degrees, shattering the all-time high record set in 1870!

I’m not complaining about a warm day—far from it!—but this is just plain weird. I have lived here for most of my life, and to step outside in late December without a coat is just unheard of. Instead of the usual flakes, it’s been lots of rain lately and it feels more like fall than winter.

No boots, no scarves, no sleds/skis—where are you guys?

 

How hot/cold is it in your area?

$5.00 Date Night

Leave a reply

Date Night is something that can really help a relationship. Ideally, it’s a special time to spend alone together while communicating and growing closer as a couple. In reality, it can often be a huge stressor and waste of money. The last time Hungry Bear and I went out for dinner and a movie, it cost over $60.00 and the food/service was terrible! Plus, we worried about getting back home on time.

Rather than going out, we really do prefer at-home date nights. It gives us total control over the time, the food, and there’s no need for a baby sitter. Also, the savings are huge!

Here’s a recap of our $5.00 Date Night:

Earlier in the day, I stopped by Market Basket and picked up some snacks: Diet Coke 2-liter ($0.99) and party-size bag of Lay’s chips for him and pretzels for me ($1.99 each). There is a Redbox machine out front and I used a free code for Jurassic World (Anyone else remember watching the original 1993 version in the theatre? I do). 

We ate dinner together as a family, then put the littles to bed early, allowing us to watch the movie and eat our snacks with relative peace and quiet. Afterwards, we spent about an hour leisurely talking and trading foot rubs. I can’t even tell you how nice this little break was, nothing fancy, but quite refreshing and something affordable for every couple.

Sure, a fancy night out on the town is a treat, but a nice evening at home can be just as enjoyable.

 

Do you have an affordable idea for Date Night? I’d love to hear it.
