Project 365 – June 14 – 20

Summertime is truly here and the heat is pretty bad and on top of that, there hasn’t been much rain. It’s the rainy season in Florida now and our yard is really showing some stress.

I also found out that Ernest, the trusty dog, doesn’t like fish tasting food.  He loves his buffalo and venison and wants it back.  So, I won’t be experimenting on flavors for him anymore.

We had a frog in the mailbox.  I’m sure he was trying to get away from the heat and I got Glenn and new Atlanta Falcons remote for football season.

I used Weeds and Wildflowers Sweet and Simple kit #6 for the layout below.  I just love the pink colors in this one and I really love combining the other Sweet and Simple kits to make my weekly layouts.

Everyone have a great week and stay cool,

Top Mounted Sinks

I have a white sink that I just can’t deal with anymore. You can’t clean it, it stains very easily and it scratches. I am ready to get rid of it and start looking for a decent top mount sink

I had a stainless steel sink in my last home and loved it!! It cleans well and it was really deep to wash big pans. MR Direct Sales stainless sinks are made with 16 gauge steel which is thicker than Kohl and Blanco sinks. I like that. Remember, you use your kitchen sink every day and you want one to last. I love their selection of top mount sinks. Easy clean up and they always look great. And now that stainless steel appliances are a big hit, why not have your sink match too.

The picture shows a great sink with 2 wells, one smaller than the other. Its just the 2 of us in this house, so I don’t need a very large sink for us. I just love the idea of having the smaller bowl with the garbage disposal in the smaller bowl.

They also have beautiful granite sinks that are made with green materials and is coated with Silver Ions, which kills 99% of bacteria on contact. What a great feature! I love the colors offered and these look great with granite counter tops. You can choose one with double bowls or one large one.

Play Around in Memphis

This is a sponsored guest post written by Memphis Travel on behalf of Memphis CVB. Post powered by Sponzai.

More than just the home of the blues and barbecue, Memphis gives you plenty of ways to play around, with fun things to do no matter who you are or what you like. Of course, if you’re into Elvis, rock-and-roll and mouth-watering ribs, you’ve got to check out Graceland, Sun Studios, and the Rendezvous. But Memphis has much more to offer than this holy trinity of southern culture, with enough to see, do and eat to make it the perfect location for your next long weekend getaway.

The families out there (or the wild at heart) should be sure to check out the Memphis Zoo, one of only four U.S. zoos with giant pandas. Recently ranked the #1 zoo in the U.S. by TripAdvisor.com, the Memphis Zoo lets you get up close and personal with the animal kingdom. And with the recent addition the Northwest Passage, home to Polar bears in a see-through underwater exhibit, and the zoo’s newest section, Teton Trek, kids and adults alike are certain to have a blast.

Don’t let your midtown experience stop at the zoo; the Cooper-Young and Overton Square neighborhoods are just down the street. Ask a local Memphian where to find a tasty bite to eat, great local music and ice cold beer, and they will probably direct you here. Speaking of beer … the environmentally conscious visitor can enjoy a locally brewed beer by Ghost River Brewing or walk through the natural landscape and educational facilities at the Lichterman Nature Center.

Memphis has museums for just about everything. From the Civil Rights Museum, Cotton Museum and Fire Museum in downtown to the Brooks Museum, Children’s Museum of Memphis and the Pink Palace Museum further east, the number of places to have fun while you learn are as bountiful as the barbeque restaurants. Families, friends, sports fans, history buffs, self-proclaimed food critics – Memphis has everything you need to keep everyone happy.

So when you visit Memphis, stay a few extra days. Even the locals don’t run out of things to do. And to make it easy, memphistravel.com is launching a new travel guide to help you plan your next vacation. Simply choose from a list of interests and you’ll be given a sample itinerary with lots of great ideas. You can also register for a chance to win one of twelve trip packages that include tours, gift certificates to Memphis’ favorite restaurants, hotel stays and more. Go to itinerary.memphistravel.com to get started.

Project 365 – June 7 – 13

The beginning of June sure has been hot this year and it seems we all have been a bit lazy this past week. Even Ernest loves to take it easy on his bed during the day.

We did have a couple days of rain and I love the clouds at night and how they glow sometimes.  We also enjoyed a basketball exhibition from some kids from church at Chick fil’a.   Which gave us an excuse to eat at our favorite fast food restaurant.

I used Weeds and Wildflowers Simple and Sweet #6.  I love all these kits for each month and I love mixing them together sometimes.

Have a great day,

Wen Hair Products

I have extremely thick and very course hair and live in Florida. This is a combination for very bad hair days almost every day of the year. Frizzy, out of control, colored, wavy hair are just a few words to describe what is on top of my head. Not much to brag about and  I am in desperate need of hair products that would work my problems.

I recently read about the products by Chaz Dean. He has a great clientele of celebrities and their hair is always beautiful. What I really loved about this product is that the cleanser doesn’t suds up and strip the hair of what makes it shine and feel soft and smooth. They are free of free of harsh detergents, sodium laurel/laureth sulfates that are found in most shampoos. And that’s exactly what my hair needs. The leave in conditioner and remoist products seem perfect for my course hair.

I have used non-sulfate cleansers before and my color was preserved longer, my hair was more vibrant, manageable, healthy, shiny, hydrated and I really loved my hair!  And the best part was, I didn’t shed my hair as bad as I do now.   So ask me why I quit using that product?  Who knows.  But I need to get back on board and try the Wen products and see if I can get that great hair back again.

The Wen products prices are perfect for my budget and they give you a 30 day guarantee.  So, I think I have found a new cleanser again.
