Iconic

 1886 Vintage... I have always felt a love for times past.  The look, the feel, something super feminine and simple.  A new line from AVON is just that, Iconic.  

The classic design. The simple feel.  The products you love.  The products you remember from childhood.  Maybe something Grandma used.  Something your mom used. For me, it was being at my babysitter's house when the AVON lady came over to show her newest products.  I was gifted a strawberry-scented bracelet that transformed into a pen.  The memory is so short, so simple, and so special.  Memories come from a scent, a feeling.  Funny how you can be teleported right back to a certain moment....

Your favorites are available now! Check out the line { HERE } Perfume, hair serum, lipstick, body gel, jewelry and more.  Let the scents take you back.  What are your first memories of AVON? Tell me in the comments below.

Ain't no bugs on me!

Summer into fall means more time outdoors enjoying morning/evening walks, sunsets, camping trips.  If you're anything like my family, we're a sweet treat to our neighborhood mosquitos.  Bug Guard is your Deet-Free, hypoallergenic option to keep bugs away when you're enjoying time outside making memories.

Helps repel mosquitoes, deer ticks, gnats, no seeums, sand flies and biting midgets are no match. Choices include with or without SPF, aerosol, lotion, pump or towelettes.  Based on when you're encountering these pesky little critters, you may want a couple options.   It always amazes me how well this stuff really works for being deet-free.  No harsh chemicals, so its safe for kids and adults.  Repels for 6-8 hours depending on which one you choose.

Multi-Taskers

Products that provide more than one use are not only thrifty, but just plain smart! I love a good, practical multi-tasker.  That brings me to bubble bath. 

When I think of bubble bath, scenes from old westerns come to mind.  The saloon girl slips off her skivvies behind an old wood screen, hair up, she climbs into a claw tub of bubbles that seem to perfectly cover her up in all the right places.  Yup.  Not much beats a nice bath. I especially when paired with a glass of wine, a good candle and my DVR. { Its the perfect time to indulge in  "90 Day Fiance" and their zillion spin offs. }

While bubble bath can't be beat for its original purpose, I've used one bottle of this liquid gold for more things than I can count on one hand! Its a power horse around the house! 

Below is a list of creative ways to use Bubble Bath that maybe you hadn't thought of.  Be sure to grab yourself a bottle or two next order, if for nothing else than "just in case"!! 😁

1. As a bubble bath! Feel like a diva in a tub of bubbles that leave NO bathtub ring to clean.
2. Give your car a bath! It makes a great car wash.
3. Laundry Detergent. Smells great and no fabric softener needed!
4. Handwash delicates.  Bras, panties, you get the picture.
5. Pre-soak for stains. Really helps to attack stains before they set in.
6. Dish Soap. Preferably the sensitive, unscented, but in a pinch, any will do.
7. Pet shampoo.  Choose the sensitive, unscented for your furry friends.
8. All purpose cleaner.  Windows, floors, countertops, appliances, tabletops, light fixtures, blinds, etc.
9. Shampoo your carpet.
10. Use the bubbles for upholstery: furniture or car interior.
11. Stain remover.  Dip a damp cloth into undiluted bubble bath to work the stain out.  Water may leave a stain, but the bubble bath won’t.
12. Grease stains no more.  Put straight bubble bath on the spot.  Let it sit a few minutes before washing.
13. Makes a great substitute for hand soap (more on this in a later post!)
