Loving Life in Idaho

Nicole on July 15th, 2009 My Arbonne plug ;-) We are all going to wear make up (if we are women, of course! :-)) Wouldn't you like to wear healthy products that won't harm you? Your skin absorbs all that you put on it in about 2 minutes. Make up in the U.S. is very toxic for the most part, that is why my hubby recommends that women DON'T wear it...until we found Arbonne, of course! Our colors stay on, are true, are full of anti-oxidants, anti-aging ingredients, NO ANIMAL PRODUCTS! you don't want to know what is in the nasty stuff you buy from the grocery store. In July, if you have $150 Retail order, Arbonne is paying your $29 membership for the whole year! You get a 20% discount for a year, a free product of your choice and you can join in on specials that I offer, too :-) I can customize your colors for you and teach you about proper application. Nicole's colors in this photo: Line Defiance Liquid Foundation in 6N, Bronzer (one of my faves!), Glow blush, eyeshadow

This week we are having a busy and very "summery" week, filled with activities with the family. My dad's dad, my grandpa Charles is visiting from Durango, Colorado. Also, my best friend's daughter, Shannon, is visiting from Missouri. This is the week that we are going to the lake lots, going to the water park and we will get away to McCall this weekend, a very dear friend is letting us use their house their. We are excited about the getaway :-) It truly feels like summer now! Of course, there is no internet in McCall and very little cell phone service and so I am telling the kids to take books and games etc. It will be nice to focus on the family this weekend.

Today will just be a quick note. I am just feeling grateful for all the wonderful people in my life. This past two weeks has been filled with birthday celebrations and gatherings with friends. I read again just recently that you have lived a good life if you die with 5 good friends in your life. I have so many more than that and I am grateful for you all :-) We had a really nice 4th of July at the Rhinehimer's. We met them as patients and also go to church with them. There were about 80 people there and I met two other families of Donovan's friends, and that was a huge pleasure, wonderful people and I am looking forward to getting to know them better. It was hot and a bit humid for Idaho, but felt so good to be amongst friends. We finished the evening at the Loewen's house and I really enjoyed that, although, I wish I weren't so sleepy. I am feeling a bit fatigued recently from all the painting and house work this past week, so I am working on giving myself a day of res
