Fri-YAY Faves!

Posted on by SummerC

It’s Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Fri-YAY! Gettin’ down on Fri-YAY! Everyone’s looking forward to the weekend!

Another fun fact: I tend to use song lyrics or movie quotes in everyday conversations. If you don’t have the song or movie memorized, you probably think I’m crazy or wondering what I’m talking about. Or at least that’s what usually happens. 

So on Friday’s on want to highlight a personal favorite of mine. It could be anything – beauty product, handbag, food,  pet – you just never know!

Today’s fave : Dr. Denese Hydroshield Ultra Moisturizing Facial Serum. This stuff is freaking amazing. I’ve never found anything that moisturizers so well. I put this on right after cleansing, morning and night. I let it ‘dry’ for 5’ish minutes, then apply my moisturizer over that. It truly does plump fine lines and basically makes then disappear. You can use it around the eye area. A few drops is all it takes, so the bottle will last forever. I’m obsessed with this stuff, people! This probably wouldn’t be great for oily skin, but as I age, my skin gets drier and drier. I found discovered it by accident early last fall in a QVC Beauty Tube that I purchased (more on that later). I’m not sure how I will like it in the heat of July/August, but last winter it was HEAVEN!

Here are the ingredients: Dimethicone, Glycine Soja (Soybean Seed Extract), Ceramides, Retinol, Tocopherol, Linoleic Acid, Linolinic Acid, Octyl (Ethylhexyl) Cocoate, Lecithin, Glycolipids, Phenoxyethanol

Have a great weekend!

Here I go again on my own…

Do you have that rockin’ 80’s hit stuck in your head now? I do! But since I now have started and failed stopped three blogs (that I can think of, off the top of my head) it felt like the appropriate theme song. So here’s to number four. Why do I think it will be a charm, you ask? Because I have the desire to write. I have the desire to share what I know/learn/try even when I fail. And the first three attempts were WAY too specific to keep going or even hold MY interest and I was the one writing the content.

My dreams to start a blog go back two years. At that time, I SWORE I wouldn’t jump onto the bandwagon that was “lifestyle” blogging. There are millions of them out there, guys. Why would you want to read mine? How would anyone even find mine? So I tried to find a niche (or two) and as you read up there^^, they were so specific I couldn’t keep it up. So here we are. June 2015. My birthday month (#38. As in NUMBER 38, not HASHTAG 38). New blog – a Spinkle of SummerTime. A sprinkle because you are going to see a little bit of randomness like, well, SPRINKLES! And SummerTime because that’s me. This is where I can share whatever I want!

My first passion is beauty and style. I’ll be sharing A LOT about navigating these years that are the late thirties. It’s tough! Skin changes, body changes and, can I still wear this or am I trying to look like a teenager type stuff.  I’ve had to totally revamp my skin care and make up in the last few years! With the late-thirties comes METABOLISM changes…so I’m on a constant quest to eat better and be more fit, but don’t expect much from that area…I’m a wee bit inconsistent. I also love to cook and bake, so expect to see some recipes. Mr. SummerTime and I LOVE to do projects around the house. In a few weeks, we are moving to a new (to us) house just down the street from our current home. There will be lots of renovations and make-overs coming! We also love to travel, so I’ll be sharing my trip recommendations too. See? I have way too much to say and can’t stick to a niche. So welcome to a Sprinkle of SummerTime. I hope you’ll stick around with me in this adventure we call life! ❤
