April Goals

It's so crazy that it's already April. Each year goes faster than the year before. I must be getting old.

-Get together with a friend or 2 for lunch 

-Get rid of all the stuff that I have for Goodwill (I have stuff in my car & in my closet. I need to get it out of the house).

-Go see my Mom. She isn't doing good.

-Re-pot my plants that are getting too big.

-Take more pictures.

-Do 2 You tube videos.

-Sit outside on a nice day.

Current Mom self care

Someone sent me a sample of 1 of these body soaks, so I decided to go buy 1 & I saw this 1. I definitely need this 1, pain & fatigue. I don't really take baths, but I soak my feet in a foot bath. I did take a quick bath today. The 1st time in a long time. I really like this stuff.

My face has been breaking out a little bit lately. I think it's from stress. Between my Mom & my daughter, things have been rough. So I've used this charcoal mud mask a few times. I like it.

I found a new baby lips at Walgreens. Its has oil in it. It's called My Pink. It brings out the natural pink in your lips.

Nail Files. Week # 309

Today I have on Sally Hansen Color therapy~Ohm my Magenta. This is a pretty burgandy color. I love the color therapy polishes.

Help name the Merrimack Budweiser Damatian puppy

• The Budweiser Clydesdales East Coast Hitch Team is welcoming its newest member: a Dalmatian puppy who will join her sister Merri as another companion to the famous Budweiser Clydesdales.

 

• For the first time ever, the brewery is opening it up to the public to vote for the Dalmatian’s name on their Home of Bud Facebook page. The vote is between Lilly, after Lilly Anheuser, or Mackenzie, which with Merri, makes MerriMack; a tribute to their brewery right here in Merrimack, NH.

 

• The Home of Bud Facebook poll shows Lilly is in the lead. But, I wanted to bring this to the attention of the state of New Hampshire.

 

• Merrimack and New Hampshire, don’t miss this one-time opportunity to name a Budweiser Dalmatian. Go to the Home of Bud Facebook page, vote for Mackenzie and make the “Merri” and “Mack” Dalmatian duo a reality! 

 

• The East Coast Budweiser Clydesdale hitch team is currently on the road, but the whole team, including Merri and her new little sister will be back at the brewery in the last week of May.

 

Keep an eye one the BudweiserTours.com and @HomeOfBud Facebook and Twitter social media channels for updates on their return.

She is so adorable. Can't wait to see which name wins. I like Mackenzie. What name do you like better? Don't forget the poll ends on Sunday.
