Free For The Taking!

You just never know what you will find in your local listings.  Last week, I was thinking about decorating the house for the Christmas Season and thought it would be nice to add some fresh pine or fir boughs to the outside of our house.

And that's when I spied an ad offering all the pine boughs I could cart away for free!  A very generous woman who lives about 15 minutes from here had to cut down two large pine trees and she had more tree than she could handle cluttering her yard.  Luckily, my dad was visiting so we made two trips and filled the back of the truck each time.

Here's what I made after visiting our local dollar mart for a few economical accents.

We filled all three window boxes with pine

 and then added clear lights for a soft shimmer

I used the dollar mart accents and the leftover pine here

(I already had the containers from my summer flowers)

Here's our front door now

So if you're looking for some cheap and easy Christmas exterior decor, check your local listings or call your nearest Christmas Tree growing farm (if you have one in your area).  You just never know what's up for grabs!  

With a little snow (you know it's coming!), it will be pretty as a postcard!

Softlips Winter Flavors Lip Balm 12/21

Aloha Friday - Flowers Edition!

Aloha Fridays are brought to you by Kailani in beautiful Hawaii at An Island Life where Friday is the day to take it easy while anticipating the coming weekend. Today I'm going to link up, take it easy and ask a question.

Earlier this week, I posted about the pretty red roses my hubby surprised me with.  If you read me on a regular basis, you already know he never buys me flowers on specific holidays so this was a total shock.  To compensate,  I keep a nice bouquet on our table on a regular basis and I should mention that I use his money to buy them with.  He's off the hook and I'm happy.

So this week's question is, "Does your significant other buy you flowers on a regular basis or do you treat yourself?"

Softlips Winter Flavors GIVEAWAY with Review (Ended)

Winner is Kat E

Anyone who has been reading me for a while knows how much I love natural products so when the generous folks at Softlips offered to send me a selection of their fabulous Winter flavors to review, I was thrilled.

And their timing couldn't have been more perfect. These 100% all-natural lip products arrived just in time for our first snowfall and the beginning of a long cold Winter.

I couldn't wait to try all four yummy flavors which are so easy to apply in balm/stick applicators (Sugar Cookie, Sugar Plum Berry, Winter Mint and Sugar and Spice).  And just like last time, they all went on very smoothly and I love the added bonus of SPF 20 protection.

So If you're looking for creative ways to incorporate Softlips in your gifts this Christmas, check out this fun "So Merry, So You" Video for some fab ideas.

You can buy any of the Softlips PURE 100% Natural lip care products
