We've been to Costco a few times and I found some new items I'd love to share with you.
I thought that this Keto pancake mix looked good. I'm glad I tried this out as the pancakes were easy to make and taste good.
Look at the yummy Keto pancakes I made.
This cauliflower rice is so easy to heat up in the microwave. It makes a great side dish for dinner.
Our friend recommended we try the miso-glazed cod. This is frozen fish that is baked in the oven and ready in minutes. I'm glad we tried the codfish as it tastes delicious.
We use Matcha powder in our protein shakes every morning for breakfast.
I decided to try these Magnesium vitamins.
I couldn't resist buying myself a bouquet of spring flowers.
I use Biotin for my hair, skin, and nails and I hope it's helping! LOL.
I have bad allergies and these Claritin RediTabs seem to help me from sneezing and having an itchy nose.
I am in love with these MakeUp Eraser clothes to take off my eye makeup. I like that there is a mesh bag included in the set to clean the makeup clothes.
I picked up a pair of these Birkenstock dupes for myself and my daughter. They were a great price and perfect for the summer.
I needed new shorts for summer and I found these in the store. I bought them in black and blue and they are from Tuff Athletics. I liked them so much that I just ordered two more pairs of these shorts on Costco.com.
I picked up all three books shown below at great prices. I know when I'm shopping at Costco if I see a book I like to get it. Sometimes when we go back again you might not see that same book again.
I just finished reading The Four Winds by Kristen Hannah. I'm a big fan of this author and I enjoyed reading this book about the Great Depression.
I picked up this book and I thought it looked interesting. I remember seeing this book mentioned in Ann's blog Our New Vista.
I just started reading The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi.
Known for her original designs and sage advice, Lakshmi must tread carefully to avoid the jealous gossips who could ruin her reputation and her livelihood. As she pursues her dream of an independent life, she is startled one day when she is confronted by her husband, who has tracked her down these many years later with a high-spirited young girl in tow—a sister Lakshmi never knew she had. Suddenly the caution that she has carefully cultivated as protection is threatened. Still she perseveres, applying her talents and lifting up those that surround her as she does.
Heather also likes sharing about the Costco items she finds. Have you bought anything from Costco lately?

Hello blog friends. There is a new update that the Follow by Email Widget (Feedburner) email subscription will be turned off as of July. It means that subscribers to your blog by email will no longer receive updates when you send out a new blog post.
When I saw this notice on blogger I knew that it would be difficult for me to figure out how to set it up on my own.
I have a blog friend, Linda from Life and Linda who designs blogs. I've been very happy with the blogging help I've had in the past with Linda for different tech issues on my blog.
Linda did a helpful blog post about the changes with Feedburner that you should read.
I contacted Linda and had her change my email subscription service over to Mailchimp. Below is what my new Follow By Email Widget looks like.
I love my new email subscriber widget and it was a pleasure to work with Linda. If you would like to see other samples Linda has done for the new email subscription set up, you can click Here.
If you need a new blog refresh or other blog services by Linda you can visit her Here. Linda also decorates beautiful tablescapes and runs a fun blog party called Love Your Creativity Link Party.
If you read this Linda - Thank you for your blog assistance and help with setting up the new email subscription with MailChimp. You are my fairy blog mother.

Hello blog friends. I recently bought some spring beauty items that I'm loving from Ulta Beauty. I thought it would be a fun idea to share some of them with you.
I was interested in buying some new self-tanners that didn't have a bad smell. In the past, I used to buy the St. Tropez Self-Tanning lotion from Ulta but it had a smell and the cost was $42 for a tube. I decided to take a look at some YouTube videos and I discovered Abbey Yung who reviews a lot of self-tanners. She recommended the self-tanners shown below.
Tanologist Face & Body Drops
I love using Tanologist Face & Body Drops with my Aveeno cream. I take my cream and add two drops and mix them and apply it to my face evenly. In a few hours, I have a light tan. There is no smell to this product and the drops are clear liquid. You can also apply these tanning drops to your body. The price is $19 for 1.0 oz. I bought it in the medium shade.
Tanologist Express Tan Mousse
I love using this Tanologist self-tanning mousse. It's so easy to apply to your body with a Tanning Mitt. I love that the mousse comes out in a clear foam and there is no smell to this product. In a few hours, you have a golden tan. I found no streaking on my skin with this self-tanning product. For a 6.7 ounce bottle, it's only $16.99 and I bought the medium shade.
** There was no sticky feeling after using both of the self-tanning products.
E.L.F. Camo CC Cream
I was interested in trying out this E.L.F. Camo CC Cream. I like that this CC Cream has an SPF of 30. I thought that this would be good to use for the spring and summer months to protect my face from the sun. The color I picked is Fair 140W and the shade is a little too light for me. It's a little hard trying out a skin color by looking at a chart online. I think this shade will be good to use mixed with a darker shade or I can just use this for the winter months. It was $14 for the tube at Ulta.
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara
I was so excited to try out this Maybelline Mascara after seeing its trend on Instagram Reels. I love how this mascara makes my lashes look so long without even curling my eyelashes. I liked this so much that I bought a tube for my daughter for her birthday! The price is $11.49 a tube from Ulta. I like buying some of the drugstore brand mascara's and how well they work instead of buying high-end mascara.
Kate Spade New York Perfume
I took a chance by buying this Kate Spade New York Perfume for my daughter's birthday. We both like the way this perfume smells and it has a light scent that is not overpowering. Ulta had a special when you buy a perfume you could get a bag for free.
This is the free bag that came when you made a perfume purchase. This bag will make a great beach bag for my daughter to use this summer.
Thank you for reading Ulta Beauty - Spring 2021. Have you bought any new beauty products this spring?

Hello blog friends. It's been a while since I've made and shared with you any crochet projects. I was working on another crochet Appa, but I took a break from working on it.
I had my monthly zoom knit/crochet meeting last week. I needed something easy to work on for our meeting. I was happy when I found this free crochet pattern to make these boho triangle coasters.
You may remember seeing this photo from my Friday Favorites - May blog post. These coasters are fun to make and perfect to use for summer entertaining.

Hello blog friends.
I have my Friday Favorites - May Edition:
My daughter came home from college for a visit last weekend. We had a great time celebrating my daughter who will be turning 21 years old tomorrow. I can't believe how fast the time has flown by!
I decorated our mantel with decorations for her birthday.
I cooked one of my daughter's favorite pasta dishes for dinner. We also had a delicious strawberry shortcake to celebrate her birthday. We had a great time with my daughter but she had to return to college Monday. She will be finished with school in two weeks and I look forward to spending more time with her this summer.
I was pleasantly surprised on Tuesday when these beautiful roses were delivered to me. The roses are from Venus Et Fleur and they will last one year with no water necessary. These gorgeous roses are from my daughter. I just love how pretty they look and they smell amazing!
I had my monthly zoom knit/crochet meeting this week. I was inspired to make some crocheted coasters. I love crocheting small projects and using cotton yarn during the warmer months.
I took Bosco for his evening walk the other night and saw these pretty tulips. I love looking at the green grass and pretty trees.
On my way into a store I noticed these unique painted rocks and a few of them say peace and love. These painted rocks reminded me of Linda's Crafty Corner who loves to paint the prettiest rocks.
My daughter brought home some snacks she didn't want anymore. My husband and I enjoyed snacking on these animal crackers. I remember giving these crackers to my daughter when she was little!
Wishing you a happy Friday and Mother's Day weekend!
Hello blog friends and happy May!
It's that time of the month again where we can share our Amazon Prime Purchases at Tanya's blog. I always enjoy taking a peak at what other people are buying at Amazon.
My Daughter's Purchases:
SIWENGDE Compatible for iPad Air 4 Case 2020 with Pencil Holder, iPad Air 4th Generation Case [Supports Pencil 2nd Gen Charging] Shockproof Smart Shell iPad 10.9 Inch Stand Cover (Pink)
My daughter recently bought a new ipad and she needed a new case cover.
2 Pack Jump Rope, QILEBI Tangle-Free skipping Ropes with 5 Pcs Resistance Loop Bands, Adjustable Jumping Rope with Latex Workout Bands for Home Fitness Gym, Slim Body, Strength Training & Speed Training for women men
My daughter ordered this jump rope set with the workout bands to work out in her dorm room.
Disposable Face Masks, Clinivex Colored Face Masks of 50 Pack, 3-Ply Breathable Face Masks with Nose Wire.
Look at these fun and colorful face masks!
CELSIUS Sparkling Peach Vibe Fitness Drink, Zero Sugar, 12oz. Slim Can (Pack of 12)
Having a fitness drink with zero sugar, and vitamins added is the perfect drink for working out.
What I ordered for us:
Yoosteel Gold Initial Necklaces for Women Girls, 14K Gold Plated Dainty Layering Paperclip Link Chain Necklace Personalized Coin Initial Layered Gold Necklaces for Women
I know that layered chains are all the rage right now. These necklaces come separately so you can wear just one or both of the necklaces together. This initial necklace will look great with my spring and summer outfits.
Lamicall Cell Phone Stand, Desk Phone Holder Cradle, Compatible with Phone 12 Mini 11 Pro Xs Max XR X 8 7 6 Plus SE, All Smartphones Charging Dock, Office Desktop Accessories - Silver
I ordered one of these phone stands for myself and I love it. When my hubby saw it he decided he wanted one for his desk too. I ordered him one in black.
ZIZOR Women's Rhinestone Open Toe Slippers with Memory Foam, Ladies' Faux Fur House Slippers for Women Slip On, Cross Band House Shoes for Indoor Outdoor
I was in need of new slippers and ordered these because of the good reviews. These slippers are so comfortable and they can be thrown in the washing machine to clean.
