Where Do You Shop? - Share Our Lives

November 11, 2024

 

Hello friends and happy November!  I am joining Joanne from Slices of Life for the monthly link-up Share Our Lives.


This month they are discussing - Where Do You Shop?



Where I food shop:

I belong to Costco and BJ's and this is where I do most of my food shopping.  I tend to buy paper products like paper towels, tissues, and toilet paper at Costco.  I like BJ's for buying food in smaller quantities.  I like that I can buy cold cuts and cards at BJ's.  I bought a huge bag of Halloween candy at BJ's for only 13 dollars. 

If I need to buy anything quick I will go to our local Foodtown or Met Fresh Supermarket for food items.

I love Trader Joe's!  We don't have a TJ's that is close to us, so my husband and I like to plan a visit in advance.  We usually go out for breakfast and then shop at Trader Joe's.  I love their prices for food, and they have nice candles and beauty items.  I also like to buy beverages, ciders, and beer.  My daughter likes their wine.  We always have a huge shopping cart full of items.

Where I buy my clothes:

Whenever I shop at Costco I have to be careful because I love looking at their clothes.  Most of the time I will come home with some sort of clothing.  I love their leggings, sweaters, coats, PJs, sneakers, and boots.

I also like buying clothes at Macy's, Gap, and Old Navy.  When I went to London last year I bought a wool coat at Primark.  There is a nice Primark in Edinburgh, Scotland.  My daughter and I bought some sweaters and she bought a skirt in a pattern that looks like a kilt.  There is a Primark store in my area that I like.  

I will start my Christmas shopping this weekend.  I am hoping to do some mall shopping.  I want to get a lot of shopping done to avoid large crowds of people.  I also like doing shopping in small local stores and online shopping.

Hello friends and happy October!  I am joining Joanne from Slices of Life for the monthly link-up Share Our Lives.


This month they are discussing Sweet Tooth Cravings.



SWEET TOOTH CRAVINGS:

Most of my sweet tooth cravings are usually in the fall and winter.  It usually starts around September when I crave a pumpkin spice latte and a pumpkin muffin or donut.

Sweet Tooth Cravings I  Love:

  • pumpkin bread and muffins
  • zucchini bread
  • brownies
  • oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies
  • apple pie and pumpkin pie

Summer Sweet Treats:

  • ice cream
  • gelato


Halloween Candy:  I love the mini bars of chocolates.  I usually buy a huge bag of candy to give to the trick-or-treaters.  If any candy is left over, my family and I will pick on the chocolates.  We sometimes have a lot candy left over and my husband will give it out at work.

  • m&ms
  • snickers
  • Hersheys
  • kit kat
  • 3 musketeers
  • milky way

What are some of your sweet tooth cravings?

Finding Peace in My Day - Share Our Lives

September 9, 2024

 

Hello friends.  It's the second Monday of the month which means it's time for the Share Our Lives Link Up.  This month the topic is Finding Peace in Our Day.  



I'm happy that I can find a lot more peace in my days.  My husband and daughter both work hybrid. 

I still get up early in the morning to eat breakfast and then make lunches for whoever is taking lunch to work.  Drop off at the subway whoever needs a ride in the morning.  My husband takes care of Lucy first thing in the morning since he is the first one up.


First thing in the morning I get the laundry going and do morning chores.

Either in the morning or afternoon, I will take Lucy out for a walk.  We meet other people with dogs which is nice.


One of my favorite ways to find peace in the day is to read a book, read some blogs, and work on my blog.  I will sometimes watch a show that is streaming.  One of my favorite shows is Emily in Paris. 

After that, I start to prepare and get our dinner ready early.  I then go to the train station to pick up my daughter or husband from work.  

Another way I like to find peace is to go to a morning or evening exercise class like Zumba.  I have gym friends whom I love to see each week.  

After dinner my husband and I have a few shows we like to watch together or we will both read our books.

How do you find peace in your day?

Finding Peace in My Day - Share Our Lives

Favorite Make Up and Hair Products - Share Our Lives

April 8, 2024

 

Hi friends.  This month for the Share Our Lives 2024 link-up, they are discussing our Favorite Make Up and Hair Products.


I am sharing at Joanne's blog, so let's take a look at what makeup and hair products I like to use daily.


These are some of the products I use for my hair:

I use this all-in-one spray after I shampoo my hair.  It works great as a de-tangler for my hair.

Next I use this thickening spray in my hair.  My hair is thin and this seems to add in volume and make my hair look thicker.  I've been using this product for years.  I then blow dry my hair with a Conair round brush blow dryer.

I like to use this hair spray for my hair.  This hair spray makes my hair stay in place.  It doesn't make my hair feel sticky.  I usually buy this hair spray in a large can and a two pack from BJs.

I usually shampoo my hair every other day.  If my hair looks flat the day after I wash it I will add in this texture spray to my hair.  It makes my hair look fuller.

If I don't wash my hair the next day I will use a hot curling brush for my hair.  It's from Calista Tools.  This tools works great for my hair and it adds body and volume. 


Here is a list of the makeup products I like to use:
  • Concealer - Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser - #121
  • I like to use this during the spring/summer on my face: Maybelline Dream Urban Cover-full coverage protective makeup-sunscreen SPF 50 - #120 Classic Ivory - I also sometimes use NYX Can't Stop Won't Stop Powder Foundation - Natural
  • Eyeshadow - For everyday wear I use - Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Color - Rosegold.  I also like to use an eye shadow palette from Huda Beauty - Nude Light.
  • Blush - Milani Baked Powder Blush - #03 Berry Amore
  • Eyeliner - NYX Retractable Eyeliner - Golden Olive
  • Eye Lash Curler from Sephora
  • Mascara - Maybelline Sky High - Black.  I also like to use Essence Lash Princess Curl & Volume Mascara - Black 
  • These are my three favorite eye brow pencils - NYX Precision Brow Pencil - Blonde, Anastasia Brow Wiz - Blonde,  No7 Eyebrow Sculpting Pencil - Blonde
  • Lip Liner - NYX retractable lip liner - Nectar
  • Lipsticks - NYX Lip Lingerie - Bedtime Flirt, Revlon Colorstay Matte Lite Crayon - Take Flight
If I am going to the gym I will wear concealer, eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick.  I do not use foundation if I am going to do a workout at the gym.  If I am at home I will wear concealer, eyeliner, and mascara.  Sometimes I do not wear any makeup if I am not going out and I want to give my face a break from wearing makeup.

I hope you enjoyed taking a look at my favorite products I use on a daily basis.
