Say Yes to Carrots. No, not eating them, but putting them on your face and hair. I was shopping at Walgreen’s and saw this new line of products that are sold exclusively at the store called Yes to Carrots. They’re a new range of skin, hair and body products made from organic fruits, veggies, and blended with Dead Sea mud. And the best news is they’re not that expensive. When I’ve finished with the products I’m currently using I’ll definitely be checking them out. Check out their Web site at www.yes-to-carrots.com. You can also buy the products from the Web site; you’re clicked through to Walgreen’s.

I thought fall had arrived, but now we’re back to heat and humidity. Cleaning up leaves isn’t much fun when it’s that hot, but it’s a chance to get outside and do some more free things before winter arrives. A couple of week’s ago we took a picnic lunch to our local park/lake and then went for a hike. This past weekend we strolled around one of the nearby lakes and then went browsing in antique stores. All free entertainment and a lot of fun.

And isn’t it amazing to see what ends up these stores? It seems like it’s not only antiques these days but yet more stuff people no longer need. One was a consignment antique store; some of the stuff was old, some not so old. Or I hope not that old because I remember growing up using some of the items they were selling!

I skipped visiting the library over the summer, but now I’m back to my reading schedule. My local library system allows you to put together your own reading list in an account you set up. From that list you can select the books you want, they’re placed on reserve and then you get an e-mail notice when they’re ready to pick up. Now if they’d only bring them to my door! Only kidding, this is a great and free service and I don’t know what I’d do without it. It saves both money and time. I have about 70 books on my current list. Some I know I have a long wait for... I’m number 278 for some of the more popular titles. But if you’re patient enough, look at the money you save.
