Five on Friday - December 26, 2014

Happy day-after-Christmas everyone!  We are actually having one more celebration on Saturday at our house so I have one more day of holiday fun in front of me.  I literally can.not.wait to see everyone!  Of course, I still have tons to do to get ready so let me spill my five today and get back to the preparations.

1.  Leslie Sansone Videos
With January 1 and those New Year's resolutions looming, many of us will be thinking about dropping a few pounds in the new year.  In comes Leslie Sansone videos.  I'm not a huge exerciser and I'm definitely not in shape.  These videos are built on moves I can actually do and afterwards leave me feeling like I had a good workout.  


2.  Shower Tablets
Have you guys ever tried these?  My friend, Linda, put some in my birthday box and I finally had a chance to use one.  OH MY GOODNESS -- they are fabulous!  You just drop them in the shower (preferably in the stream of water) and breath in the goodness.  I don't know where these have been all my life, but I won't be without them again.  You can pick some up here.

                                 

3.  KidSmart
Looking for a last minute tax deduction?  Consider KidSmart.  Their mission is to ensure that children and their classrooms in the Greater Metropolitan Saint Louis Area have the basic tools for learning by transferring, at no cost, the community's surplus supplies and merchandise into the hands of teachers for school children in need.  I have personally volunteered for this organization and seeing the faces of children getting the school supplies they need for their classroom is truly heartwarming.  Check them out on their website here.

4.  Lia Sophia
Have you ever been invited to a Lia Sophia jewelry party?  Well, guess what -- they are going out of business.  Right now they are selling off their inventory so there's some good deals to be had.  I have a few of their pieces that are about a year-and-a-half old and so far are really holding up well.  You can check out all the deals on their website here.

                                         
5.  Quote
I'm going to leave you with this thought.  The new year is coming and it's a great time to clean up the list of people in your life.

                               

Hope you are able to relax for a few days after all the hustle and bustle of the holidays.  I have some fun stuff planned for the next few weeks so I hope you have a chance to drop by.

  10. I need to get some of those shower tablets! I always think about taking a bubble bath so I can use some aromatherapy stuff but my dumb roommate left the only tub in a disgusting state & so I've been avoiding it... I would love to pop those in my shower though!
