Ear Lobe Wonders!

EAR LOBE WONDERS

My sister introduced me to something too good not to share!   LOBE WONDERS!  When she told me about them during my Carlsbad visit I was not overly impressed, but she did cause me to pay closer attention to my ear lobes...I discovered they are saggier than the last time I analyzed them.  Gravity is pulling everything down, even my lobes!!!  The nice thing about ear lobes, I now know, is you can comfortably remedy the "sag" with these little wonders I am about to share with you!

Here is the box, which I purchased at Claire's for $11.50.  You can also go to www.Lobe-Wonder.com to research and print out a coupon to use at a store near you!   On the left you can slightly see the round stickies, and a pair of hoops which I can now wear without seeing my stretched earring hole!  Smile!!!

I wore mine all day.  They are quite simple to affix and my ears did not feel bothered by my hoops at the end of the day, either!  Simple, painless, purposeful!  So, flaunt those hoops, diamonds, or gems and say good bye to stretchy, torn, saggy ear lobes!

Stop and Smell the Roses

Sophia's Gift

This has been a busy summer!  Truly, I do not know how we could already be entering the home stretch to summer's end!  Classes resume in August!  Sophia delivered these to my front door!  She knew, in her perceptive way, I needed to literally,  

"stop and smell the roses!"

I am reminded that it is the little things in life that matter so much, like sweet notes, kind words or a wheelbarrow filled with flowers!  I am grateful and touched!

Crazy About Owls

Owls

We love owls!  A little owl friend hoots around our home in the late evenings. Such a happy sound!  Last week we glimpsed an owl in the high hedge outside CostCo!!  Knowing we may spot her in her nest (it is said that she is sitting on eggs!) makes our CostCo run much more pleasurable!  

Out of recycled sweaters, the girls made these hand and cup warmers.  Their little OWL warmers help distinguish their own thermos and are so cozy to grasp.  The Nissan Stainless Thermos, available at Pete's Coffee on State Street in Santa Barbara, is  worth every penny!  No spills, easy to clean, and they last forever.  I have bought and tried many hot cups and these are hands down THE BEST.

Usually I am not drawn to abridged literature, but this story on CD is a definite exception!  We popped it in the car CD player on one of our 35 minute treks to Ventura for our IEW, piano, and guitar classes and were instantly hooked.  I drove slowly!  It is about nature and animals, but primarily about our beloved owls!  Though it is recommended for 6 to 10 year olds, my 10 and 11 year old daughters thoroughly enjoyed it, as did I.  Boys will appreciate it equally, if not more than girls!  Interestingly, the narrator is only 18! His story telling is so captivating!  Enjoy Owls in the Family by Farley Mowat!

My Anthropologie owl candle...what can I say?!  It is a perfect little hoot on my table!
