Things I'm Thankful For! Days Nineteen and Twenty
Another combined post! My apologies. I have been super busy. That also means that this post will be short. I have had so much stuff that I'm doing that I have been running around like a chicken with its head cut off. On with the post!
Anyway, today I am thankful for my Nintendo 3DS and my Pokémon games. Why this? It keeps me entertained when I travel and helps me de-stress. I do not have very many games for it, but my favorite ones that I have are my Pokémon games. I have a couple of other games for it, but not many. Why Pokémon? My love for Pokémon is deep and will never go away. I have been playing Pokémon since it first came out. Yep, I was around for Pokémania and still love it. Sure, others might think that it is a game for kids. I disagree with that though. While its primary target is for children, I have found that as I get older and the new generations come out that there are ways to make it a bit more challenging for me than the games were when I was a kid just playing through for the story. Now, I play not just for the story, but also for the experience. Pokémon Y has not disappointed me so far! On that note, it is also a really long game for a Pokémon game! Jeez! I am barely halfway finished and I got it a few days after it came out.
Well, until next time!
Stay de-stressed and wonderful!

Things I'm Thankful For! Day Eighteen
Good evening everyone!
I am ridiculously thankful for doughnut molds. Making doughnuts without them is a pain in the butt. Now I can make cake doughnuts whenever I want and in whatever flavours that I want. Awesome! Also, it is super fun to make the little mini doughnuts because a single regular size cake mix will make about 10 dozen of them. It is amazing to look at! All those doughnuts...Now I am just making myself hungry. I am going to go make doughnuts.
Until next time!
Stay wonderful and beautiful!

Product Review! Pré de Provence 100% Shea Butter Extra Dry Skin Treatment
It is product review time again everyone!
Today I will be reviewing a wonderful product that I've used for a couple of years now. I am not entirely sure why I have not written a review for it, but here it is! Pré de Provence 100% Shea Butter Extra Dry Skin Treatment is the review for the day.
If you have dry skin you know how much of a problem it can be to relieve that. Most of the time you go out and by lotions and creams in an attempt to relieve the inching and discomfort. For some odd reason I have ridiculously dry skin on my hands and scalp. I used to carry around hand creams and use them like nobody's business. However, when working with fine jewellery that does not bode well. The residue gets under your rings and fingernails which can make your skin turn colours if the chemicals in the cream react with the metal of your jewellery. Not good. Even worse is that it gets on the merchandise. Large gems and rings tend to show fingerprints and it gets worse if you have lotion or hand cream on your hands. Even if you do not work in the jewellery business you end up getting fingerprints everywhere and dropping things because your hands are slick. Finding a product that does not leave a slick, greasy, or oily residue is very difficult.
The good news is that Pré de Provence 100% Shea Butter Extra Dry Skin Treatment does not have very much of a residue of any kind. It is wonderful! Best of all, it does not really have a smell to it. This means that it will not mix funny with your perfumes or colognes. As the name says, it is not a lotion or a cream. It is a butter. Yep, you read that right. Since it is a butter it absorbs into the skin better in the same way that your kitchen butter will absorb into your food. Also, because it absorbs into the skin and does not stay on the surface you do not have to keep reapplying it over and over and over again. It also does not get everywhere like some creams and lotions will because it has a thick texture.
So, the bad thing about this product? Well, honestly it is a bit expensive. Granted, because you do not have to apply it as often it lasts longer than most lotions and that sort of makes up for it. Even so, when I purchased my most recent tube of it I spent $13 for the small tube! It seems a bit ridiculous for what it is. Since it works though, I do not mind that much. Also, the thick texture is a bit of downside. Wait, I thought you said that was a good thing. Yes, it is a good thing because it does not get everywhere and it is easy to close the tube back because it does not run. That is also a down side because it is sort of difficult to get it spread over your hands. You might also end up getting too much because you feel that in getting more it will be easy to spread. Not true. Using more will only give you that much more that you have to spread out. So, in that sense it is not very good.
Overall, it is a good product. I would recommend it to anyone. I always keep a tube of it in my purse and am more than happy to share it with my friends when they ask for some.
Hope you found this helpful! Until next time!
Stay beautiful and amazing!

Things I'm Thankful For! Day Seventeen
I hope everyone has had a happy Sunday!
I am thankful for the wonderful website called ThinkGeek. Another website? Yes, another website. Why another website? This is not just any website. This website is the best site for nerds and geeks like me. You all should know by now how nerdy I am. This has basically anything and everything you could possibly want from various franchises. It even has stuff from Doctor Who. Amazing!
Once again this is a fairly short post. I have to wake up early in the morning.
Until next time!
