Druide Facial Cleanser and Makeup Remover in Avocado Chamomile
We all have those days when we just wish we could cleanse our face and remove our makeup quickly without having to go through multiple steps and products in the hopes of getting more sleep time after a long day. I've been on the lookout for such an all in one skincare product for a while now, so when I came across the Druide Facial Cleanser and Makeup Remover in Avocado Chamomile, I knew I had to put it to the test. This was my first encounter with this brand, however I had read great reviews from a fellow blogger who recommended this particular item so when I saw it at my local health store I grabbed it straight away.
The Druide Facial Cleanser and Makeup Remover in Avocado Chamomile has a creamy texture that is slightly runny. What I love so much about it is that it is all natural, certified organic, vegan, and is gentle enough to use on the eyes because the ingredients are non-irritating. Chamomile is known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, while avocado is rich in fatty acids and is packed with anti-aging vitamins so that skin looks rejuvenated and moisturized. Other key ingredients include wheat and rice protein, shea butter, aloe leaf powder, vitamin E, magnolia flower oil and mandarin peel oil. You can just imagine how lovely this facial cleanser smells! Just a pump and all of my makeup is easily removed - it even melts off the darkest and most stubborn long lasting mascaras and liners I own. Despite all of these rich ingredients, it stills feels very light on the skin and has a very delicate, non-overwhelming aroma.
This hand down is the most "soft" and non-stripping cleanser I have ever tried, and I will go as far as say it is my new holy grail facial product. If you have sensitive skin like me, I cannot recommend the Druide Facial Cleansing Lotion and Makeup Remover enough. I was able to snatch it up for $13 in store, which I though was a steal for how pure this product is, especially when compared to other natural brands whose products start at $20+.
Have you come across a similar multi-purpose lotion? Please share!

5 Tricks to make Decluttering Fun
My Love for Words
Let’s face it, if I enjoyed decluttering my house never would’ve become cluttered in the first place.
Despite my love for making lists, I’m just not one of those born organized personalities.
Imperfectly pretty posies
Flourish & Knot
Sometimes things just don’t turn out the way you thought they would. Cakes fail to rise. Paint refuses to cure. Flowers… well, they can just be finicky at times.
Last Wednesday I went grocery shopping (which means I came home with $60 worth of groceries and $15 in flowers). I had had a rough day and really just needed spring. I set about preparing my haul.
5 LIES ALL MOMS TELL
Written Reality
Motherhood.
How can the most beautiful opportunity be the most terrifying and exhausting responsibility?
Regardless of how many kids you have or even how old they are, moms everywhere fall into the trap of trying to do everything for their families.
Sloppy Joe Cups
A Sprinkle of This and That
Last night, the hubby and I were talking about food we used to eat as a kid. TV dinners were hot and we both recalled how the back used to pop up into a scene of some sort. Kind of like a tv screen. Then there were fish sticks. I didn't enjoy them as much, but the hubby just loved them. How about Sloppy Joe? Do you remember those? Ground meat in a barbecue type sauce that is just smothered in cheese. Oh my...what an easy dinner! Delicious and fast! I think your kiddos need to be introduced to these little dinner treasures. If they already know about the Sloppy Joe, they're going to want some of this version for sure! It involves your muffin tin!!!

Easy Blueberry Cake with Whipped Lemon Frosting
Homemaking Hacks
I’ve been craving blueberry cake with lemon frosting or icing lately. How about easy blueberry cake with an even simpler lemon whipped cream frosting? I am not really sure if I’ve ever actually had it before, but seems I’ve been seeing this flavor combo all over lately. Tempting idea for this time of the year. I actually made this cake for Easter for a delicious change of pace. The beauty is that it’s really easy with the use of store bought cake mix and a very simplified whipped cream frosting.
Life With The Crust Cut Off
These roll-ups are quick, delicious and versatile. You can change the sauce up or the cheese, a honey mustard swiss combo sounds heavenly, or a bbq sauce cheddar, yummy! These are so easy to make you could even make a few different varieties to suit all your families taste for dinner.
Root Beer Float Martini
The Classy Chapter
The other day I was grocery shopping and came across root beer flavored vodka and of course I instantly thought of root beer floats. I’m not a big drinker, in fact, I hardly ever drink, but you can never go wrong with a good martini.

How To Plan Ahead To Make Healthy Cooking Easy
Ramblings of a Bad Domestic Goddess
Although, the thought of cooking after a hard and stressful day at work, or maybe a fight with your noisy neighbors, is a mood dampener; it often makes a lot of people settle for much less. Sometimes you just don’t have anything to cook! If this settling happens several times a week for you, some change in your planning habits is required.
Pragmatic Mom
What do we need to teach our kids about personal finance NOW when they are still too little to credit card or handle a checking account? And what about do as I say, not as I do? What if WE don’t have great personal finance skills ourselves? Does this mean our kids are doomed to a life of poor financial management?
