My boyfriend hates Cracker Barrel with a passion. The country music, the food, the long wait time, there isn’t a single thing he likes about it. We are obviously polar opposites because if someone says, “Want to go to Cracker Barrel?” I’m all like, “Get in the car! I’ll drive!”

Ok, so yeah, no offense to anyone that loves it but the country music does get on my nerves too but I like sitting on the “front porch” playing checkers as we wait for them to blare our name on the intercom telling us our table is ready and I like the high cholesterol, salty food. I mean it’s not something great to eat daily but every once and a while is yum!

I know, I know! I know what you’re thinking! You’re thinking, “But you missed the most important part!” I was getting to that. Patience!

The country store!

That’s the very best part. There are so many fun things to buy! Old time candy, home decor, and of course, bath, body and beauty goodies. I can spend hours browsing the store.

I’m a complete child and he’s a complete adult in the relationship so I do beg to go and he always humors me but no longer! NOW I can get my favorite hand cream crack and stay healthy by not eating Cracker Barrel food!

Here’s how you can snag it too. P.S. It smells like Fall so you NEED IT.

Niod Sanskrit Saponins is something I don’t exactly get but I keep around as the third and final step of my face cleansing in the Summer. I know you’re right? That was all sorts of confusing like WTF am I even talking about.

Niod Sanskrit Saponins is what the Ordinary describes as “an intense cleansing balm”. It’s actually just a weird earthy smelling cream. It’s not a makeup remover but it is something that will get your face a bit more squeaky clean while reducing oil in a major way. Any skin type can use it, even my dry skin! It acts best with blemish prone skin as it decongests pores and removes oil and dirt from them.

It’s Summer and my skin is letting me know that lately. I’m prone to dryness and the AC will contribute to that dryness but Summer def brings more oil product for me.

That’s where Niod Sanskrit Saponins comes into play.

Good Morning friends!

It should be 11:00 AM and bright and sunny in Gotham when this hits your social feed! I’m writing it at 5 AM though and I’m a little bleary eyed and trying to wake up. How’s your day going? I have a pretty packed schedule today but I hope to make it to Michael’s when it first opens today to hit up the Fall decor section! BRING ON AUTUMN!

Most importantly, I’m looking forward to getting some mail today. Who stalks their UPS/Fedex/and mailman? Show of hands? I do! My UPS man once asked me on a date and if I wasn’t in a relationship I think I’d say yes because imagine that? Full access to UPS services because the UPS dude is your boyfriend. If you’re on Tiktok I highly recommend looking for UPS and Fedex hashtags as some of these guys have hysterical Tiktoks. One UPS guys gives treats to all the dogs on his route and films it! Amazing! Another one does random dances the back of his truck! Amazing! And of course, there’s the adorable, tenderhearted, style icon Fedex driver Johnathon Cainee! Not only cute AF but so nice and lovely to his fans! My Fedex guy is 50, tattoo-free, married for 30 years, and in love with my dog! He is not a Johnathon Cainee LOL!

Cute or old, sweet or grumpy, thank you too the people that get me my mail and packages. You all work very, very hard! During the Holidays, on rainy days and snowy ones, and when a lot of the world was home you were still out there getting us things we needed.

I’m glad things are starting to get back to normal here as I did miss doing online ordering. I stuck to essentials as 99% of the time when things were bad but now that things are a tiny bit better I started doing regular orders.

So, here’s some makeup and beauty I’m currently looking forward to getting in the mail today and this week!

Are you shopping fragrance in stores yet? It’s a little hit and miss around here as a lot of Sephora and Ulta stores are still very much closed! There’s still plenty of fragrance around in a variety of places though! Walmart, Target, Bath and Body Works, etc….But there is something you should NOT be doing when you go to these stores!
