As someone with both sensitive skin and skin issues like exzema (which isn’t bad but occasionally flares up) and mild roseacia, I know that it’s important to take good care of your skin. There are so many different products out there. You don’t even need to visit a department store counter — the beauty section of any general retailer has dozens upon dozens of products. A lot of these, though, have chemicals in them and who knows if that is really something you should be rubbing into your skin? Shira Esthetics offers a great selection of natural skin care products, including some great anti aging creams. Their skin care line includes Omega-3 fatty acids, Oxygen, Seaweed, Aromatherapy, Glycolic acid, Vitamin C, and Dead Sea minerals. They’ve been creating skin care products since 1957, and continue to stay on top of the lastest research. They also offer classes at spas and salons. And if you’re local to New Jersey, you can take classes on site! Sounds great to me.

Flower Basket Shawl, Take 2
I’ve made some progress on the shawl over the weekend. I know it doesn’t look like much, but the lace is time-consuming for me because I am being very careful and taking my time with it. The lace-weight yarn is hard for me to get used to, but overall it’s going well and I’m really enjoying it. I think it will be beautiful when it’s done and if things continue to go well, I will easily have this done before the wedding, and probably even before the shower in September if I want to wear it to that!
The Lights of Broadway
I realize that I’m spoiled because we live relatively close to New York City and I’ve had the opportunity to see many Broadway shows. In fact, Drew and I rarely think twice about it. If there is something that we want to see, we can usually get his mom to watch the kids and head into the city for the afternoon. But sometimes it can be difficult to get tickets. Popular shows like Wicked can sell out, and while it might not be an issue for someone who lives locally, if someone is only in town for a few days and really wants to see a Broadway show that could really put a damper on their visit. SoldOutBroadwayTickets.com offers tickets to many sold-out shows like Jersey Boys and The Lion King. And their parent company is a member of the Better Business Bureau and The National Association Of Ticket Brokers, so you can feel comfortable ordering tickets from them. Next time you’re trying to get tickets to show and you’re having trouble, give them a try.
A bright and shiny new… car!
Oh yes, cue up the music, it’s almost like being on The Price Is Right. OK, not really. But it’s still very exciting. Yesterday Drew got us a sweet deal on 2007 Toyota Corolla and a super great trade in on the Elantra! I don’t know how he does it, but he did get a screaming deal. It’s silver with gray interior, fully loaded, and he’ll pick it up tomorrow. I haven’t seen it yet (though I did cruise the lot the other day so I’m sure I saw it in passing). Later this morning we’re going to head over there so I can take a better look. Whee! I’m so excited!
