Friday Favorites # 13

You know you are getting old when your two favorite things right now are your new minivan and vacuum. AHHHH!!

I never in a million years thought I would be driving a minivan (you can read all about purchasing our first minivan here). NEVER!! You can ask my hubby, mom, sister, etc. But one day 3 years ago it happened and we’ve never looked back. Okay, maybe a few times, but not many. No, really right now in our lives the ease of a minivan couldn’t be replaced. I NEED the sliding doors, they truly make my live SO much easier. I simply hit the button and everyone climbs in. Perfection. But, I must say there are still times when I am driving my minivan and I stop to think oh my goodness I am driving a van, seriously?! Who would have thought? Who am I? Then, I remember I am a mom to 4 little ones and that is the best job in the world; not the easiest, but the most fulfilling, amazing job I could ever have. And besides why does driving a minivan have such a stigma?  Why is it a bad thing? I still haven’t figured out why minivans have gotten such bad raps, but I am going to change that for now.

We bought a new Dyson vacuum a couple weeks ago and it is wonderful. I can actually vacuum our house in one swipe instead of having to go over and over the grime (Our old Dyson was losing its suction and that is awful when you have lots of little ones leaving crumbs all over that house.).

After the minivan and vacuum everything else on this list just seems subpar, but we’ll keep going anyway.

This makeup bag is amazing. It’s not really a bag, but it was the best description I could think of to describe it. It’s called the Lay n Go. It is pure genius and I love it. I love that when you open it up everything is right in front of you on the “counter”, but within two seconds you can have ALL your products cleaned up, the mess just disappears. Seriously?! Yes, it’s perfect. I use it everyday and besides this way I am always ready to go on vacation whenever, wherever (because that happens oh so often with 4 daughters, Ha!!).

My Easy Skillet Breaded Chicken had to be on my current favorites list. Seriously, I keep thinking about when I am going to make it again.

John Frieda’s 7 Day in shower hair treatment is amazing. Ever since I had McKayla and McKenzie my hair has never been the same; it’s straighter, flatter, and lacks luster. But, this product has given my hair new life. I love it.

A Friday favorites wouldn’t be complete without skin care. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love my night renewing serum. When I wake up in the morning my skin looks vibrant, silky, and smooth (less wrinkles). The serum is a retinol based product. Retinol is a form of Vitamin A. It works to repair photo-damaged skin, acne, and other sluggish skin conditions. It helps to normalize cell turnover, increase collagen deposition and bind moisture in the skin. It inhibits melanogenesis to promote a clear complexion and an even skin tone. Amazing skincare ingredient! Seriously, this product is a must have. You won’t regret it and if you do we have a 60 day money back guarantee.
