Simply Cosmetics



I was lucky enough to review this all natural make up. It was smooth on my skin and felt so light. The custom powder foundation is a mix of cocoa, cinnamon, nutmeg, coconut, and many other natural ingredients. The natural ingredients are great which means I don't have to worry about having a reaction to any harsh chemicals that can be found in other foundations. This is definitely something I will be using more.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Breakfast Casserole

Things have been busy these last few with school getting started and getting back into Girl Scouts. I find that casseroles make dinner (or any meal really) so much easier.

Ingredients:
1 can biscuits (any type you like)
9oz ground sausage (I used the sausage crumbles)
1/2 lb of ground beef
2 cups cheese (we like ours cheesy)
6 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1pk sausage gravy


In a greased 9x13 pan cut or tear up 1 can of biscuits. It doesn't have to be perfect.


I baked the biscuits for about 10mins at 350. I did not bake them the whole time because I knew I would be putting it back in. During this time brown your ground beef and sausage.


Since I used the sausage crumbles, I did not get a lot of grease. If you do, drain it. Sprinkle the ground beef and sausage mixture over the half baked biscuits.


Sprinkle cheese over top of the mixture. Beat together the 6 eggs and milk and pour over top.


Make the sausage gravy according to the package and pour over top.


Bake in the oven for 30-45min at 350.


It may not be the healthiest breakfast but it is one that will fill you up and hold you over until lunch if not longer.

Rain Painting

Rainy days can be no fun. This is a little something you can do to break up a rainy day plus the kids will like playing in the rain. This is super easy and the kids will have a blast!

Supplies:
heavy paper
washable markers
rain

 

 Gather all your supplies and start drawing. You can use dots for dot art or just plain draw. You can't go wrong.

After you finish drawing take your picture outside and let the rain hit it. You don't want too much rain on it or it will wash away the marker.

All that is left is to let it dry. How the art comes out really depends on how hard it is raining.
