{Show and Tell}

 Where has the month gone too? Mercy, I can't believe September is almost here. I wanted to pop in this afternoon with a few new products that I am trying out. I love it when some of my blogging friends share what they've tried good or bad. It is always nice to hear the thoughts of others.

Several of my friends use this brand of foundation so thought I'd give it a try. I like Neutrogena products so why not try the foundation. I use Infallible 24 hour L'oreal Paris as its long lasting and gives a good coverage. For a few bucks more though I decided to give Neutrogena foundation a try. Though it's a great coverage and smooth finish I couldn't tell a difference really between the two products. I think I will stick to my old faithful L'oreal unless they go up in price. 

I do like the L'oreal.

I normally use a tea tree type of shampoo on my hair but I do like to change it up from time to time. I decided to try this. My hair is dry and my skin is dry so anything to give more of a moisturizing texture is what I normally stick too. I love the smell, lathers up nicely and was a great price at Walmart. 

I love a good bath wash and love the essential oil bath wash from Bath and Body but gave this one a try from Walmart. Smells good, nice wash, and it does hydrate my dry skin. Now, it did nothing for a calming effect as it says on the bottle but once again, price was good. Nice bath wash but I must say I've gotten spoiled by Bath and Body Essential Oil bath washes. 

I use this Castor oil all the time for my dry skin at night before bedtime. It's a great beauty product and good for so many things. Hair, face, body, feet and etc. It does go on thick so for my face I most often mix it in with a little Shea butter or Coconut oil. But, my skin soaks it in. It's good for so many different things. I do like this brand a lot. This was an Amazon purchase. 

I like this product by Maybelline. I like how it moistures my dry lips and it does give the effect of plumping but it doesn't last long to be honest. However, it gives a pretty shine and makes my lips feel good. I usually put it on before applying lipstick and then again after lipstick. 

I make batches of protein balls of all kinds often and freeze them for snacks. Marty loves them. You can get all kinds of recipes on line but these were made with peanut butter, some with creamy and some with crunchy. Honey and Oatmeal. I put a drizzle of chocolate on some and used coconut flakes in some. Good little protein snack.

Do you like Sushi? My youngest daughter and I along with her two daughters went and we did a little shopping on Friday and enjoyed a nice lunch at a place I've been wanting to try called, "Fancy Sushi Oakleaf". The location was Oakleaf but I am assuming there is a chain of Fancy Sushi's. I was not disappointed. If you have a Fancy Sushi nearby this was called, O.M.G. Was very good!

Wanted to share my newest Christmas ornament my youngest daughter gifted me. She saw it a Cracker Barrel and bought one for me, herself and her two sisters. Made me ready to decorate my Christmas Tree!  Well, if it wasn't so HOT!

Speaking of the youngest daughter, she (Marti Leigh) will be celebrating her birthday next Sunday but we celebrated her today with family with the lunch of her choice. I made Cuban Sliders, Italian Sliders, Pork Sliders a Charcuterie of different fresh fruits, Caesar Salad, Cake and ice cream. It all was so yummy and good for a change. I usually prepare the "Southern style cooking" meals for my Sunday dinners so hot sandwiches was a nice change. 

I hope that you all have been enjoying your summer.  I will close with a Bible verse that has ministered to me as of late. One thing I do know is that when I am seeking, listening, and paying attention to His still small voice that He always leads me. I hope your week is wonderful. 

Hugs and blessings, Cindy
