My Weekend

This was a long weekend. It started Thursday as that was my daughters 12th birthday. We had a pool party at her Grandpa's house. Only one of her friends showed up, but it was her best friend and she didn't mind. The water was too cold for me to join in the fun!

On Friday, my oldest daughter had a basketball game for the Special Olympics. She was a 'helper' for the challenged children. It was very fun watching everyone play.

On Saturday, my oldest daughter had 2 more basketball games to play to see who won the Special Olympic tournament. Her team came in second place. We all enjoyed watching all the children and adults have fun playing! There was a little boy there named Mario and he had Down's Syndrome who was just the cutest little thing! My son kept talking about him because he liked his name. My son is really into Super Mario Kart for the Wii. I don't know where he gets that from!

Saturday afternoon, we went to a softball park to watch my husband umpire some games. I'm not really into softball, but I do enjoy watching my hubby do his job.

The only time I was at home was late at night and sleeping for about 6 hours before the next day started. I really enjoy my sleep, so I was a happy camper when I got to stay home today and do 5 loads of laundry and listen to my children argue! LOL

Hopefully tomorrow I can ChaCha and clean my house as all the children are going back to school from having a 2 week Spring Break. If anyone wants to come party with me, just let me know! Ha Ha!

My Opinion on 3 Olay Regenerist Products

I received these products for free to test, 1 Regenerating Cleanser Cream, 1 Wrinkle Revolution Complex and 1 Regenerating Serum. They were all full size and not samples.

The Regenerating Cleanser Cream said that it was supposed to exfoliate to detoxify and speed cells' natural regeneration process. It lived up to what it said and my expectations. It was not rough on the face and actually left my face feeling smooth. This came in the size 5 FL OZ and I used this product twice a day for two weeks.  I would recommend this product if you are in the market for this type of facial cleanser.

The Wrinkle Revolution Complex was supposed to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and be used twice a day. I did not notice any difference in my fine lines or wrinkles and used this twice a day for two weeks. It does not say how long to use the product before seeing results, but maybe I'm impatient, but after two weeks, there should have been some type of subtle change. It came in 1.7 FL OZ and there is still a lot left in this little can. I would not recommend this product if you are looking for something that works quickly to reduce fine lines or wrinkles.

The Regenerating Serum was supposed to leave your skin feeling velvety smooth with a younger-looking, regenerated appearance. This lived up to what it said and my expectations. I loved how soft and smooth it left my face feeling. You can use this product one or twice a day and I used it once a day. It comes in 1.7 FL OZ. I would recommend this product if you like to have soft, touchable skin.

I loved the scent on all of these products. They do have other products in the line which look like they might be fun to try, but I only got to try these 3 together. They are made to work with one another. 

Just remember, these are my opinions from testing out the product and my end results. I enjoy any comments you leave about these products to try to change my mind about purchasing other products in this line or even the ones I didn't like very well!

Just Starting

 This should be interesting. I'm just starting this blog and we shall see what happens. I'm a shy person and don't really have a lot to say, but I will try to do my best with what I have in mind for this blog.

I work from home for an internet search company named ChaCha. I have been with them for 3 years. I also do a lot of surveys with different companies. I get cash, gift cards, and points which I can redeem for cash or prizes. I also get test products to try out. I think this is the best option out of all the others. I do get paid for trying them out, but I always like to find out what is new in the market place before other people.

I'm trying to get my daughter into surveys to make some extra cash or get some test products, but she finds it boring. It does get boring after a while, but I keep telling myself that this is extra money or gifts that I did not have before.

I've always been a shy person. I think it stems from moving a lot while I was little. It always made me sad when we moved because I would make friends and then have to leave. Maybe that is why I haven't made a lot of friends in my lifetime. I don't like being sad. I prefer to laugh and enjoy life. I think laughter can really make you change your whole attitude on life. I know I feel better after laughing. My husband can make me laugh just by laughing because his laugh is contagious!

I have 4 children. 2 boys and 2 girls. I think that is a good combination. I was only wanting one of each, but God had other ideas. My oldest, Bobby, who will be 20 in April, is hopefully living the life that he wants. We don't speak much, it's a long story and I'm not going to tell it here, but I know he is in God's hands. My second oldest child is Kiara, she will be 12 in a few weeks, thinks she is about 30. Sometimes I think she is also because of what she does around the house and the way she acts. The third oldest, Naomi, is 9 and is a little spitfire or spunky, whatever you want to call it! She likes to try us all the time. The fourth oldest, Xavier, is 5 and loves to get dirty and break things apart. I think most boys are like this!

That is a short summary of my life and children and hope to do justice with this blog by keeping up with it and letting you all know what is going on.
