It’s the unofficial start of the summer – a long, sunny, warm weekend devoted to family togetherness, outdoor events, and community.  We spend the time to honor all of our men and women in the military who have fought for our freedom and paid the ultimate price—and to those currently serving our country I also want to thank you for your service 🇺🇸

I have spent a LOT of time outdoors this weekend out in the sun, and my skin sure could use a little TLC.  Make this easy sugar scrub at home all summer long to keep your skin glowing with just a few supplies, and package into a small mason jar or decorative jar. Finish it off with a colorful ribbon for a perfectly giftable presentation.

This homemade exfoliating scrub is a wonderful way to pamper your skin, leaving it softer and smoother. Use this sugar scrub on rough areas on your skin every few days for the best results.

Red, White an Blue Sugar Scrub Ingredients

Supplies:

Directions:

  1. In a small bowl, combine sugar and grapeseed oil. Stir well.
  2. Divide the mixture into 3 bowls.
  3. Add 3 drops Forget Me Not Soap Colorant to one bowl filled with sugar scrub and mix until color is fully blended.
  4. Add 4 drops Cherry Soap Colorant to one bowl filled with sugar scrub and mix until color is fully blended.
  5. Layer the sugar scrub into your jar, filling it ⅓ of the way with the blue scrub, ⅓ of the way with the white scrub and the remaining ⅓ with the red scrub.

Enjoy your softer, smoother skin all summer long! 🙂

Knott's Berry Farm 100th Anniversary

It’s official! Knott’s Berry Farm has officially reopened. They’ve safely resumed regular operations with limited capacity & new reservation requirements. Park goers can enjoy the summer-long, Knott’s 100th Anniversary Celebration. “The Knott’s Family Reunion” looks to reunite family and friends in a safe and fun environment after a year-long closure due to COVID-19.

Knott's Berry Farm

If you grew up in Southern California then most likely you grew up on the farm and have lots of fond memories of Knott’s throughout the years. During the Knott’s Family Reunion and Anniversary Celebration you will find many items throughout the park that are filled with nostalgia. It is definitely a walk through memory lane! They make for some great photo ops to bring back all the feels of your favorite attractions from years past. I have so many memories from Knott’s that I cherish. Below is one of my favorites, when I first met Snoopy!

New and unforgettable experiences await in honor of the park’s 100 years of history and family fun for all. During the 100th anniversary celebration, guests can experience the brand-new Knott’s Bear-y Tales: Return to the Fair, a 4-D interactive dark ride that pays tribute to the classic attraction from 35 years ago.

Tom & Jerry Blu-Ray

Who else grew up watching Tom & Jerry cartoons?🙋🏼‍♀️🐱 It was a childhood favorite of mine to watch. I was happy to be able to share this with my niece and get to watch her face light up as she met Tom & Jerry.🎉 There is something magical about meeting a new friend for the first time. I think she is totally Team Tom, what do you think?❤

❤
🎉
One of the most beloved rivalries in history is reignited when Jerry moves into New York City’s finest hotel on the eve of “the wedding of the century,” forcing the event’s desperate planner, Kayla, to hire Tom to get rid of him, in director Tim Story’s “Tom and Jerry.” The ensuing cat & mouse battle threatens to destroy her career, the wedding and possibly the hotel itself. But soon, an even bigger problem arises: a diabolically ambitious staffer conspiring against all three of them. An eye-popping blend of classic animation & live action, this new adventure stakes new ground for the iconic characters & forces them to eventually do the unthinkable… work together to save the day!
❤

Available on Premium Video on Demand (PVOD), Blu-ray, DVD and Digital.
