Refreshing and Cleansing {Pure & Essential Minerals Review)




I forgot how refreshing a good, cool, mud mask treatment can feel! I used to do mud masks all the time as a teenager to help open up my pores and refresh my skin. It's been many, many years since I've actually had the time to splurge and pamper myself at home! I often think about it but there are so many other priorities as a homeschool mom that I often push things like painting my nails or giving myself a good facial treatment to the side.

Okay, I'm a sucker for anything made from the Dead Sea. It brings back good memories. Hiking up a mountain, by moonlight with friends and camping overnight by the Dead Sea where David was hiding from Saul. Priceless. Oh yeah, and being awoken by wild camels grazing along the mountain top. Floating in the Dead Sea and being foolish enough to rub my eyes directly afterward. Yes. Experiences like this are once in a lifetime and treasured dearly, so I was certainly eager to try Pure and Essential Minerals Dead Sea Mud Mask.

Honestly, it was everything I was hoping for. First of all, you only need to apply it for 10 to 15 minutes or so. I was thinking that it would need to set on my face much longer but it does what it needs to quite quickly. Then, I absolutely love the texture and consistency. It's not too gritty but rubs on smooth and silky. You do need to apply generously, which is not a real issue since there is enough in each container for a full years worth of treatments if you do it once a month. I love the way you can feel the coolness of the mask setting in after about five or ten minutes. The mask then hardens and you know that it's almost time to wash off. Once you feel it starting to crack then you can wash it off with warm water and a washcloth. Your face then feels clean, refreshed and rejuvinated! I highly recommend this mask for a fun, home, facial treat!

Original 13 Colonies Fact Cards (Free Printable)

These Thirteen Colonies Fact Cards were created for my kids as we studied early American history. What a pivotal time in our history!

From the first colony in Virginia, until all thirteen stars on the first American flag were represented, these cards are a perfect review for your homeschoolers. Use them to drill the first thirteen colonies so your child can recite them with ease, and have them dictate the information on the cards to help them remember a small fact about each colony. Feel free to print these out and have your children write facts that they learn about each colony on the back. Go ahead and laminate them, too!    Simply right-click, save, and print to use this resource in your homeschool as you study about the original thirteen colonies in America. Use the facts for dictation, copy work, or discussion in your home. Disclaimer: All co...

With lessons, field trips, meals, and unexpected errands filling up your week, even the simplest chore chart can help your home run more smoothly.

The Pencil Grip Inc. {Review}

We have found what we have been looking for in The Pencil Grip Inc .'s 24 pack of Magic Stix Washable Markers . These markers are the perfect fit for a homeschooling family such as ours. I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
