Never Soggy Cereal

We came across an amazing product that we had to share - Obol. This bowl has two sections, an upper area for your cereal and lower reservoir for your milk. You can scoop the cereal and then the milk for a perfect bite every time. Obol can always be used for milk and cookies, soup and crackers and chips and salsa.

We always like a good amount of milk with each bite of cereal and now have found a great way to make that happen. How neat are these?!

The Right Way to Apply Perfume

You may never think about how you apply your perfume and you just spritz away. However, there is a "right" way to apply your favorite scent.

* Do not apply perfume on top of any scented lotion or oil. This will alter the smell of your perfume.

* Rubbing your wrists together crushes perfume by breaking down the small fragrance molecules. This gives you poor wear and wrong proportions of different notes.

* Don't use more than a single spritz if you are using eau de parfum that's in an atomizer. Body mists and eau de toilettes are more dilute, making them better for all over spritzing.

Girl Scout Cookies

It is time... Girl Scout Cookie time! Girl Scouts are everywhere selling their sweet treats, which are almost impossible to avoid. And, there is a new cookie in town - Savannah Smiles.
