Hello blog friends. I haven't done a beauty products blog post in a long time. I thought it would be fun to share with you four of my favorite beauty products that I use regularly.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cream
I love using this cream on my face every morning before I apply my makeup. This cream is light and it soaks right into the skin on my face to make it feel soft and moisturized. This cream is unscented too. I can usually buy a large bottle of this cream at Costco.
It - Confidence in a Cream Anti-Aging Moisturizer
I love to apply this face cream at night time. The consistency of this cream feels a little heavier when applied to my face and it's perfect for nighttime use. If you have very dry skin then this cream is great to use for your morning routine. I've been using this cream since January and I think it works well to make my skin feel soft and moisturized and you don't need to use a lot of this cream.
Biolage All-In-One Coconut Infusion Multi-Benefit Spray
This spray is my all-time favorite hair product. I heard about this product a while ago from blogger Andrea at Living on Cloud Nine. I like how it works at taming my frizzy hair, it detangles the knots, and it adds shine to my hair. The best part is that it smells like coconuts and reminds me of the beach. Have you tried this hair product?
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion
I'm not sure if this is considered a beauty product but it's a favorite moisturizing lotion that my family likes to use. I like that I can buy this daily moisturizing lotion in a 2-pack at Costco.
What is your favorite beauty product?
Our friend recently went to Tim Hortons here in New York. If you haven't been to a Tim Hortons, it's a cafe and bakeshop that is very popular in Canada. We first discovered it when we went to Niagara Falls back in 2017.
Well, I had to find out where she went and it is located in Staten Island, New York. We decided to visit early one Saturday morning for breakfast.
Look at all of these yummy muffins and donuts.
Below you can see the breakfast meals. I decided to get a breakfast meal of an egg, bacon, and cheese on an English muffin and a coffee.
All of the assorted coffee was displayed on shelves.
As you can see in the photos they had a large variety of flavored coffee to choose from.
We bought a bag of medium roast coffee. When I make our coffee I add some of this Tim Hortons coffee mixed in with our Starbucks coffee. I am a mixologist! LOL. Starbucks coffee is very strong so adding in the Tim Hortons medium roast made the coffee not as strong tasting.
I kept it simple and had a regular hot coffee.
My egg sandwich tasted so good. I decided after eating the sandwich to try a donut and I'm glad I did. The old-fashioned donut was so yummy! I had a good time indulging in the donut and I split it with my husband.
I'm happy we made a trip to Tim Hortons for breakfast. Eating breakfast at Tim Hortons reminded me of our trip we took to Canada and the wonderful memories I have of Niagara Falls.
Have you ever been to Tim Hortons?
I enjoy shopping for seasonal items at the Dollar Tree store. We don't have any Dollar Tree stores close to where I live anymore. I knew I wanted to go to the store for some spring garden items.
We went to visit my daughter last weekend in Rhode Island for Easter. There is a Dollar Tree store that I like that is located right near her college. I'd love to share with you some of the garden items I bought.
I think this plaque will look cute hanging on the wall in my yard.
Dollar Tree has the cutest rocks that I like to add to my planters.
I picked up two packets of seeds because I like planting seeds in pots to grow during the warmer months.
I was so excited when I saw these flower pot huggers. I picked up three of them to decorate my pots.
I'm hoping that this garden flag will look cute hanging in my yard.
I picked up two of these garden stakes for the garden.
I picked up five packages of these fairy garden figurines to make a fairy garden.
I think these gnomes look so adorable.
Non-Garden Items:
I bought four of these small fabric organizing baskets that I thought would be great for the house.
I have seasonal allergies, so these small packets of tissues are perfect to use for my handbag.
Have you bought anything from the Dollar Tree Store lately?
Wishing you a happy Friday and weekend.

Hello blog friends and happy April!
I recently just finished reading the book The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. It's a historical fiction book that takes place during World War II. It's about two sisters and what they both go through and experience while living in France. I enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it. Have you read this book and did you like it?
April 4th through April 10th, 2021, is National Library Week.
I love reading books and in honor of National Library Week, I thought it would be a fun idea to do:
THIS OR THAT - BOOKS
Below I have circled my answers.
1. Buy or Borrow - I usually like to buy books online at Amazon. I've been to my library in the past but I'm a slow reader. I usually have to renew the book for another month.
2. Print or Ebook - I love print books as I love holding a book in my hands to read. Reading a book on the kindle is a great idea for when you are traveling.
3. Indoor Reading or Outdoor Reading - I like reading books indoors but during the summer months I like to read my book in the yard.
4. Classic or Contemporary - I like reading fiction, and historical fiction books.
5. Bookmarks or Dog-eared - I love reading with a bookmark. I have a collection of bookmarks to choose from.
6. Marginalia or Clean Pages - I like to read clean paged books. When my daughter was in high school she had most of her books with marginal notes on each page.
7. Speed-reader or Slow and Steady - I am a slow and steady reader. I usually read about 2 to 3 chapters each time I read a book.
You can play along and leave your answers in the comment section.
What will you pick?

Hello blog friends.
I thought it would be a fun idea to list all the reasons why I love spring.
1. Longer Days - I like that the sun stays out longer each day. I get excited to have more time to spend gardening and going for long walks.
2. Everyone Seems To Be Happy - Sunny and warm days seem to put everyone in a good mood.
3. Flowers - The spring flowers are blooming and the grass is starting to grow green.
4. It's Warmer Outside - I like that the weather is warmer outside and we don't have to wear heavy coats and scarves anymore.
5. More Sunny Days - It's nice to be outside and have the sun shining more each day.
7. Gardening - I enjoy gardening like in these blog posts HERE and HERE. I am looking forward to planting flowers, herbs, and vegetables next month.
8. Spring Cleaning and Organizing - Every spring I like to wash and clean our windows. It makes me happy to see clean windows. I also like to clean out our coat closet and get out my spring clothes and organize my clothes closet. I like to donate my gently used clothing to different organizations that are in need of clothes. This is the time of year we usually like to clean out our garage.
9. Spring Fashion - I like wearing spring shoes and sandals. This is the time of year I like to order some new spring clothing.
10. Cold Drinks - I love drinking cold drinks this time of year like homemade iced tea, iced green tea, and iced coffee.
What do you love about Spring? Wishing you a Happy Spring!
Hello blog friends. Welcome to Costco Finds - Part 2.
We bought a lot of awesome Costco items on some of our shopping trips since January. We split some of the items with my daughter to use while she is away at college. If you missed my blog post Costco Finds - Part 1, you can click HERE to read.
My husband likes to put this powder in his hot coffee.
My daughter and husband like to snack on these Parm Crisps.
We thought this looked like a good item to try out. My husband makes us protein shakes for breakfast and he will add this powder to our drink.
We've been eating this Vietnamese Pho for lunch. It's so easy to make with just adding water to the bowl and heating it up in the microwave oven.
This Skinny Pop is one of our favorite snacks.
We also like this vegan white cheddar chickpea snack.
We like these veggie crisps too.
My brother and sister-in-law gifted us this mini Nespresso machine for Christmas.
We've been using these Peet's espresso pods for our afternoon espresso. We like that they come in different flavors.
We bought this Ginger beer to make Moscow Mule cocktails.
We decided to try out this Kerrygold Irish butter and we like it.
I was happy when I saw these heavy duty Swiffer sheets. They are perfect for keeping my wood floors clean especially with having a dog.
My husband has been making us egg white omelette's for breakfast. He likes to use these egg white cartons and we add in spinach and feta cheese.
We love to use these green tea bags to make our iced green tea.
My husband and daughter like to eat these noodles for lunch.
I have been using these facial towelettes for years to take off my makeup. These towelettes work great for taking off mascara.
I thought this Make Up Eraser looked interesting for taking off makeup. I bought them for my daughter to use and she likes them and gave me a few to try out. I like the way these take off makeup with just wetting the cloth with warm water. To clean the cloth you just add soap and water. I usually wash it out by hand after I take off my makeup and then hang it to dry. These cloths work good and are great for the environment.
I hope you enjoyed looking at all of my awesome Costco Finds. I love shopping at Costco for their great bargains but I hate putting everything away! LOL!
Have you bought anything interesting from Costco?
