Friday Five No. 13

This post contains affiliate links.

It’s finally Friday and you know what that mean!!! It’s time for the Friday Five!!! For those who are new around here on Fridays I just talk about five random things…sometimes there is a theme and sometimes it’s just random. I feel like today is just going to be random. LOL!! Anyway, here we go!!

ONE. Yesterday I went to the Grand Opening of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Arkansas and it was so much fun! There was a choir singing and former First Lady of Arkansas Ginger Beebee spoke. The current governor, Asa Hutchinson, even declared yesterday National Ronald McDonald House Charities Day for the state of Arkansas. It was just so much good.

I also decided to head on over to the Arkansas State Capital, it was only a couple miles away, and walk around. I got some pretty neat pics and it makes me want to go on a tour of the inside. I haven’t been since I was in elementary school!! What a shame…

TWO. When I attended Megaphone Summit back in September I got a blowout sponsored by Thermaluxe and afterward got a new headshot taken. I say “new headshot” like I’ve had head shots taken before but I haven’t. All the profile pics I have have been really good selfies…HA! I really love this shot and will definitely look into getting professional head shots again when I need a new profile pic.

THREE. Last week I got the most awesome package from The Body Shop! For a limited time only and only at participating stores you can purchase a Body Butter and get a personalized sticker for the top of it! Because who doesn’t love a personalized gift? Especially one from The Body Shop?? I got the Coconut scented Body Butter which is my fave!!! Thank you Body Shop!!

FOUR. Next week is Thanksgiving. How did that even happen?? I know I say that about every month and milestone this year but it seriously feels like this year has flown by!! I have to work this Thanksgiving, oh the joys of working at a hospital, and so we are having a big potluck. I’m not sure what I will bring but you better bet it will be yummy!!

FIVE. I don’t know about you but I am a side sleeper from way back. I have slept on my side for as long as I can remember and never thought about the consequences it was having on my décolleté until I received an email from the wonderful people at SiO wanting me to try their product. At first I was skeptical…could some skin cleansing discs, a skin pad, and a skin serum really make that much of a difference in my décolleté? Well, then answer is simple. Yes, it can.

If you think about it do you really moisturize your chest area every night before bed? I don’t. I get my face an neck really good but it seems to stop at my neck when really I should be moisturizing my décolleté as well. And sleeping on my side is doing that area no favors at all. So one night before bed I cleaned the area really well with a cleaning disc, applied the pad and went to sleep. I was worried it would come off or slip around while I slept but surprisingly it stayed in place! The next morning I took the pad off and applied the skin serum and my skin felt wonderful and very hydrated all day long. The best part is that you don’t have to apply the pad every night, just once or twice a week and each pad is reusable and lasts for up to 15 uses!

The secret to wrinkle free skin is moisturized skin and so if you aren’t moisturizing your décolleté and keeping it hydrated it will start to wrinkle and make you look older than you really are. So if you are a side sleeper or just want to try the SiO Beauty system for yourself then check it out here! And THANK YOU SiO for helping a girl out!!

    I’ve never had a headshot taken either, but those you had made turned out fabulous. And I love to visit State Capitals whenever i am nearby. So much interesting history.
