These are a Few of My Favorite Things
Planning what to give all the special people on your list can be stressful and overwhelming; or it can be fun and relatively simple. I hope that my recommendations will give you some ideas and take the stress out of shopping for all the special people on your list! The joy of giving is more delightful than receiving especially when you put some thought behind what’s important to the person and will make them feel special!

Home Made Body Scrub
You might recall that Lori shared her recipe for making body scrub, which was actually pretty simple even for someone like me who doesn’t do recipes! LOL I loved how soft it made my skin! This would be perfect to add to the skin care items for a self-care basket or bag full of pampering goodies! Take a watch…
310 Nutrition
Maintaining good health is important to me and probably to all of you and your loved ones! 310 Nutrition protein shake powder is both tasty and healthy! So far I’ve tried the chocolate, vanilla and coconut. When asked by a friend which was my favorite, I couldn’t pick just one. They were all great! I start my work week with a morning smoothie that keeps me full and is so tasty! I think the next flavor I want to try for the holidays is the peppermint! My step-daughter always gets us something health related for Christmas and I love it because it’s not always something I would think to get for myself. Why not give your friends and family a healthy start to 2022?!
