You Know December Is Going To Be Busy When...

As a stay-at-home mom, I actually relish busy schedules where I'm running around and getting out and driving the kids crazy with random days that they don't see coming.  And, with Christmas coming, I've planned some great stuff to keep us super busy spreading the spirit around the house and the community and guaranteed to keep us hopping until well after the big day.  So, needless to say, we are getting excited to get started, but make no mistake, we are keeping busy in November, too! There are countless product party's, craft shows, and open houses and we're trying to hit them all! So far, we've gone to the Avon open house where I found some cool nail art, the Farmer's Market Christmas Craft Sale where I bought some local honey, homemade butter tarts and a wicked awesome lamp for the boys room! Then, on to Dundee Design show where I found a cool bling wallet and some wooden toys for the kids, and a Party Lite party where I not only purchased some amazing smelling holiday candles, but I won the door prize, thanks to my son drawing his Mom's name! This week coming up I have a Mary Kay open house which I hope to attend, Book Club starts, the Cookie Walk and the play Office Hours by Norm Foster (which Dave is in).  Next week keeps us busy with the Christmas Tree Walk and Gingerbread House Contest and my nephew Ranon's birthday!  It's busy, but we're having a blast!

Before

After

So, two weeks ago I started my battle with my dry feet! Every thing is almost perfect now except my right toe which is a little callous-y so it's taking a little longer, but I ordered some Avon callous creams that I'm going to add to my regimen of lotion-ing twice a day.  So, now it's up, up, up....the legs are going to be paid special attention.
Firstly, I have a bad habit of shaving against the grain which apparently causes large pores, which, I have to say, is my only complaint, really.  Plus, I have to really watch my bikini line.  So, I'm going to go through a super thorough shaving/ moisturizing, thing.  And then, as an extra treat to me, I'm going to start using Jergens Firming and Glowing Lotion and the Jergens Firming Lotion-not because I particularly need it, but because no that I am seeing such lovely tone in my legs, I'd like to make the most of it, so the idea is to do the glowing every three days so I don't go super bronze and the regular firming in between.
This morning I showered and exfoliated, so I'm going to now start in on the real work; cellulite wrap and then a soak with a loofah, followed by shaving with the grain (I don't need to Nair as I did that two weeks ago and there's not much growth-just touch ups) and then moisturize with my Jergens Glow! Party on!
