It Works!

I've purchased several products throughout my 25 years on this earth, hoping that they really do what the ads say they do. Up until this week, I've been disappointed.

When I buy my deodorant, I base my purchase on how it smells. Every now and then, I like to try a new scent so when I was due to buy another one, I decided the try this...

(wild rose)

Not only did it smell good but there was an added bonus that it would "minimize the visual appearance of hair over time". I wasn't holding my breath on the bonus just in case it would end up disappointing me.

But it didn't! I've never been able to get a "clean shave" with my under pits, no matter what razor I use, whether I use shaving cream, soap or nothing. Not only have I gotten the cleanest shave in my life after using this deodorant but the amount of hair that grows has minimized! I wonder if I could swipe it over my legs and see what happens?

It feels good to not have been cheated by another product. Thanks Dove.

Today I'm Feeling...

It's A Great Day!

I finally got my wedding rings over my knuckle, after 6 months of not being able to wear them.

AND

I found Frosted Cheerios at Wal*Mart! Yippee!

*Sidenote*

While in the drive-thru at In-N-Out, I saw something familiar on the car in front of me...
She's also a Ranch gal! My screen name for the last...hmmm...10 years, has been Ranchgal. Not because I live on a ranch. In fact, I don't think I've ever stepped foot on a ranch. But Blink 182 has an album named Dude Ranch, so take that ranch and slap on a gal to the end of it. The things you do when you're 15.

Already?

Um...wasn't it just Christmas? How is it already February? Not sure how we got here but I'm glad it's arrived. February is full of fun things to celebrate!

Brusha Brusha Brusha

(I just so happen to have a picture of me brushing my teeth. This was the morning of my brothers homecoming from his mission. My dad takes pictures of everything.)


I don't think it's because of where I work but I like flossing and brushing my teeth.

I had stepped away for a bit last night and LaVor poked his head into the bathroom. "What are you doing?" he asked. "Brushing my teeth, " I responded. He laughed and told me I was funny.

It's recommended that you brush your teeth for 2 minutes. My dental hygiene routine takes me about 15 minutes. Not that I have dirty teeth, I just like to ensure that they're nice and sparkly. There really isn't a better feeling than running your tongue along your teeth and having it be nice and smooth.

The Perfect Spot

I came across a blog this afternoon, of a family that lost their little girl yesterday morning. She was born with a disease that the family knew would take her little life shortly after birth.

I'm not going to let the two diaper changes in 2 minutes bother me anymore.
