Bath and Body Works 2016 Favorites

Hey guys, I am back with another post. The last three days have been super busy. On Monday, we have serious issues with our light company and was close to having power shut off, but that didn't have to happen. On Tuesday, we were supposed to go to the DMV and get a copy of my driving record. Somehow, our car insurance company thinks that I am driving and I don't drive for two reasons. One, Cayce has the car at all times. Two, we just cannot afford for me to drive at this time. So, we are trying to have our payments go back down. And yesterday, we just needed a day to just get away and not worry about bills or responsibilities, so we took a little family trip to Six Flags over Georgia. I will do a separate post all on our trip and that will be posted on Monday.

Today's post is going to be about Bath and Body Works products that I own at this time.
Golden Pineapple Luau Pocketbac
I absolutely LOVE this scent. I first tried it when Cayce got the lotion for my Mother's Day present

Golden Pineapple Luau body lotion

Wild Honeysuckle foaming hand sop
I bought this scent off Amazon because I could never find it in the B&BW location that I go to

Japanese Cherry Blossom & Peach Bellini Deep Cleansing hand soaps.
I also got these two off Amazon just because.

Golden Pineapple Luau, Paris Amour, and Country Chic Fine Fragrance Mists
The Golden Pineapple Luau was free during a limited time offer, buy anything to get a free fragrance mist and of course this being my recent favorite scent... had to get it.

Paris Pink Champagne & Tulips and Endless Weekend Body Cream
I bought these two along with two others for my birthday

Raspberry & Sweet Mint and Lavender & Spring Apricot body lotion
Cayce also got these two for me for Mother's Day

Seaside Pink Jasmine & Endless Weekend
Mother's Day gift. I love these labels...so cute

Tahiti Island Dream body cream that I bought during my birthday and Wikiki Beach Coconut that was a Mother's Day present.

So, as ya'll can see.... I LOVE Bath & Body Works products. I am always "window shopping" their website and filling my cart. I will probably have a Bath and Body Works haul again around my birthday in December. Hope you guys enjoyed this post and leave me a comment on your favorite B&BW products.

June Favorite Recipe

Our favorite recipe for the month of June was porkchop fajitas. I usually make chicken fajitas but we didn't have any chicken, so we used porkchops and it was an instant hit with Cayce and the kids.

First I cut 5 porkchops into bite size pieces and browned them in butter seasoned with salt and pepper. Then I mixed in the fajita seasoning with a little bit of water and tossed in a half chopped bell pepper and a half of onion.


This pork fajitas were so delicious that they beat chicken fajitas for us.

The kids enjoying them:

It is becoming stressful again and my summer is not going the way as planned. I am just ready for Cayce to go back to school and the girls to start back next month.

Danse Macabre Review

Book 14 of the Anita Blake is mostly sex. Seriously. It's basically a porn book. The time in the book is in the span of 24-36 hours. 

But the big, I mean BIG thing in this story is the pregnancy scare. She is talking to Ronnie who was once best friends with Anita, now their relationship is strained because Ronnie is fixing to move in with her boyfriend and she is not excited but doesn't want to leave him because the sex is so good. She is jealous of Anita because Anita always wanted a monogamy and she has 7+ boyfriends.

The one thing that is starting to bother me about the books is that Laurell K. Hamilton gives unnecessary info dumps about what they are wearing and job descriptions, like she expects someone to pick up this book and just understand what the hell is happening.

Anyways, Ronnie gets pissy when Anita makes out with Micah and Nathaniel in front of her and drops the pregnancy bomb. Out of Anita's 7 boyfriends there are two possibilities of baby daddy. Nathaniel or Richard.

Now, on to the rest of the book, Jean-Claude has invited a variety of Masters of the City to a ballet performed by vampires. These master vampires also brought along candidates for Anita to choose a pomme de sang for her to feed the dreaded ardeur. In this time span of 36 hours she has sex 5 times with 7-8 guys.

Also, Anita has to fight off Belle Morte and the Mother of Darkness.
This was not one of my favorites because it mentions nothing of her two jobs.. vampire executioner or animator.

Fourth of July 2016

Our 4th of July was awesome. The only con of the day was the heat. The temperatures were in the 100's yesterday, and inside my house it was 80+, needless to say my air conditioner is definitely getting a beating. Cayce had to work till 5pm, so it was just me and the girls at home. We relaxed and watched movies until Cayce got home and then we started cooking. I grilled some burgers and made mac and cheese and we also cooked ribs. It was so delicious that I forgot to take pics. But I did take pics of President Snow.


President Snow has made my beach bag is bed. He sleeps there all the time.

Cayce also bought some boxes of sparklers for the girls. We can't do fireworks where we live because it's heavily wooded and I am not about to start a fire...not about that life.

After we went through two boxes, we sent the kids to bed, and Cayce chilled out by playing Fall Out 4 while I went back and forth between watching YouTube videos and listening to Hamilton on Spotify. I am addicted to Hamilton... I want to see the show SOO BADLY! That's on my bucket list to see a Broadway show sometime in my life. Hope all my US followers had an amazing Independence Day and your bellies are full of good BBQ.
