Co-op

Last week my husband and I decided to try something new. We joined a co-op and yesterday was our first pickup. The group we joined is Bountiful Baskets.  The first time cost for a basic basket is $19.50.  After that it's $16.50 ($15 for the produce and another $1.50 for processing).  I am so glad we did it! The things we got are yummy, in great condition, and there is a nice variety. This is now going to be at least once a month thing.

Last night I made one of the bundles of asparagus.  I put oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, and a little cayenne on them, baked it and they turned out delicious! I also made a baked potato for my husband and he loved it.  the other nice thing is that anything that him and I don't like, we can give to our tortoise (more on her later)!

Garnier Olia

I have another amazing freebie to tell you about. As a Bzzagent I get to try out new products for free and tell other people about them. The newest one I tried was Garnier's Olia hair color. First, the bottle you mix the color in is super cute. It is shaped like a teardrop, which is funny because nothing about this makes you want to cry....BECAUSE there is no icky ammonia smell! YAY! It was so nice coloring my hair with the door closed and no dogs running under my feet or a husband poking his head in. The coverage is fantastic too. I colored my hair tow weeks ago and haven't noticed it fading yet. I do wish there was a larger selection of shades. I did go darker than I normally would have, but I am just holding onto hope that is because it is still new and they are developing more colors, or that the store I went to just hadn't gotten them all in yet. Overall I give it 4.5/5 stars for an at home color. The only reason it didn't get a full 5 is because, compared to many other at home colors, it was on the higher end of the price scale at $9/kit. If you could find a coupon or sale, I say go for it and try this out!
 

Shick Hydro Silk

So I received a Shick Hydro Silk razor for free recently by being a Bzzagent and I have to say, I'm in love! It feels amazing.  The moisture serum is really nice.  Not slimy or a dry powdery bar across the top of the razor.   I am thrilled and have fully switched over.  It's the only razor I'll use now.  I also love the fact that it comes with a suction cup to hang in your tub so you don't have to lay it down somewhere and it's always just right there ready for to be used.  This razor gets all the thumbs up for me!
