Anti-Puff Eye Roller

Now whoever invented this THANK YOU! 

After seeing the commercial and the state of my eyes these days I decided to give it a try. I was able to buy it at Walgreen’s for $12.95. It’s a small roller that has a refreshing caffeine gel formula and you put it under your eyes during the day. I did it in the morning to help those “Yes, I’m getting older by the minute bags”. I did feel and see a difference within a week. It wasn’t a dramatic change but it made my eyes feel so good! I had a customer ask me what was different about me and in my head I believe my eye pillows are deflating so I shared with them what I was using.

I think anyone with eye pillows should give this a shot and it’s not going to break the bank either.

Grocery Tips-USA Weekend-Great Money Saving Article July 26, 2008

* Buy local.  We go to the farmers market by our house every Tuesday and get fresh veggies and yummy fruit. 

* Check out Food Co-ops they offer discounts to members.

*Cut/Print Coupons- Couponmom.com is a GREAT site because it offers freebies, advice, other discounts, and more.

*If you shop at Kroger go to kroger.com and click on P&E esaver-choose your coupons and type in kroger card number and they will be automatically downloaded to your card.  Next time you go shopping the cashier will apply the downloaded coupons.

Cool Cake-JELL-O “Dive-on-In” Cake

Prep Time:1 hr 15 min
Total Time:4 hr 15 min
Makes:15 servings
1 pkg. (2-layer size) yellow cake mix
2 cups boiling water
2 pkg. (4-serving size each) JELL-O Brand Berry Blue Flavor Gelatin
1 cup cold water
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed
56 Mini OREO Bite Size Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
6 TEDDY GRAHAMS Graham Snacks
5 ring-shaped chewy fruit snacks
4 bite-size fish-shaped chewy fruit snacks

PREPARE and bake cake mix in 13×9-inch baking pan as directed on package. Cool completely. Invert cake onto large platter; remove pan. Using a serrated knife, cut and scoop out a shallow rectangle from center of cake, leaving a 2-inch border of cake on all sides and a thin layer of cake on the bottom. Reserve removed cake for snacking or other use.

STIR boiling water into dry gelatin mix in large bowl at least 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in cold water. Refrigerate 1-1/4 hours or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites). (Or, see Tip below for quicker set method.) Pour thickened gelatin into center of cake. Refrigerate 3 hours or until set.

FROST borders of cake with whipped topping. Decorate with remaining ingredients as desired to resemble a swimming pool. Store leftover cake in refrigerator.

Kraft Kitchens Tips:

*Insert bite-size fish-shaped and octopus-shaped chewy fruit snacks into gelatin “pool” before refrigerating for an added treat!
*Shortcut For a quick-set gelatin, simply add 4 cups ice cubes to the dissolved gelatin mixture in place of the 1 cup cold water; stir 8 min. or until gelatin begins to thicken (spoon drawn through leaves a definite impression). Remove any unmelted ice. Pour thickened gelatin into center of cake; continue as directed.
*Make it Easy For easy removal of cake, line pan with foil before filling with batter.

* Go to BedandBreakfast.com for a list of B&B that have deals.  (Now maybe I can get the hubby to go to B&B for our anniversary in Sept)

* Bookit.com offers half-price gas cards and flight credits up to $200 on some packages.

* Join Choice Hotels’ Choice Privilege’s program and, after 3 stays you can receive a $50 gas card.

* Price-Shop: go to GasBuddy.com to get best prices wherever you go-just enter your driving info.

Homemade Slushie Recipe-from Family Corner

In my inbox this morning was my weekly newsletter from http://www.familycorner.com.  In the newsletter there are always crafts, things to do, parent info, and recipes.  One article caught my eye immediately, HOMEMADE SLUSHIES.  Every week my kids say “Can we go get a Slurpee” my response is “No, sorry too expensive”.  The main reason I don’ t do this is because the closest 7-11 is 25 miles away and it would take me at least 45-60 minutes to get there. Traffic and the cost of gas just sucks!

I know this will help on those HOT days we have been getting lately.  Plus it’s very easy too make.

Slushies

1 package of unsweetened Kool-Aid drink mix, any flavor
2 cups of water
1/2 - 3/4 cup sugar
4 cups ice

In a blender, combine Kool-Aid, water and sugar. Blend. Add all the ice and blend. Done!

Variations: For Coca Cola, simply add one can of Coke and enough ice to cover and blend. Or add a scoop of ice cream before pouring in the slushie, yum!

NOTE: It is best to use a blender with an “ice crushing” feature on it.

http://www.familycorner.com/family/kids/2.shtml

Have fun and have a slushie good time this summer, lol!
