A Rainy Monday afternoon post ~ random thoughts.

L'Occitane Almond Milk Cream smells delicious and is so full of moisturizing properties...
I highly recommend it as it delivers on it's promise to soothe and hydrate dry skin.
The L'Occitane Shea Butter is fabulous too, especially the hand and foot creams.
Have you ever tried their range of products?
They have a fabulous website and now there is a shop located downtown in our city.
It's a sensory treat to walk in and sample their wares and the knowledgeable staff are ready to assist.

It comes in a convenient size and lasts quite a long time.

A little goes a long way.

The jar is quite attractive so there's no need to hide it away.

I keep it on my bedside table to remind me to use it.

Organic Angelica Water and Essential Oil

Eye Roll On

(Patent Pending)

Suitable for sensitive eyes.

For the delicate skin around the eyes.

On the box it states that with use it will 

~ reduce the appearance of fine lines by 18% ~

~ reduce puffiness by 11% ~

~ reduce dark circles by 12% ~

I'm hoping that this will perform as well as the box suggests.

The skin around my eyes is starting to look more crepe-y

and I have some puffiness when I wake up in the morning.

I've got lots of random thoughts and a rather disjointed blog post today...

perhaps it's because I had a super busy weekend of preparing and hosting the baby shower.

Which I will post about on another day...

Foliage is standing in for flowers today.

I may not have mentioned this but Chester thinks flowers are to play with and will not leave them alone.

So far every arrangement has been "de-arranged."

Here he is helping me do the laundry, ready to pounce.

If he's not in the laundry basket 

he's on top of the clothes.

I think he's more like a dog than a cat as he follows me everywhere

and Pepper is never far behind!

New book

some easy reading

The book is rather like a clutch purse.

I do enjoy Candace Bushnell's style.

I loved "One Fifth Avenue" and "Four Blondes."

Last year I read the "Carrie Diaries"...

these books are what I consider to be  "mental snack food"

a light entertaining read

nothing that requires too much energy...

pure entertainment.

It's what I need and crave after a busy day at work.

(and a freshly brewed pot of tea.)

I've got my tea, the cat is on my lap

I  can hear the rain coursing through the down spouts.

It's a wet day today...

It's warm and dry in my wee Humble Bungalow

I am feeling grateful for a roof over my head and food in the fridge.

Our local community food banks are having difficult keeping their shelves stocked.

At school we are having a food drive.

It was suggested that each student donate one can of food 

with over 500 students enrolled in our school that would be a substantial boost to help.

I think many families will bring more than one can...

it's the least we can do.

Hope you are snug safe and warm.
