Our church was hosting Vacation Bible School at a local housing community this week. Our family volunteered to be in charge of Elementary crafts and tonight was our closing program. What a great week ! The kids were a blast and we met alot of new great friends also. We are all exausted but boy was it worth it........

All us ladies are experiencing the dreaded "makeup meltoff"...here are some tricks of the trade that seem to help your "face" from falling off in this heat...... **Switch to powders instead of cream formulas that tend to melt alot faster (i use Neutrogena Healthy skin compact makeup)
**Try eye and lip pencils instead of liquid liner and lipstick **Use waterproof mascara or a High Tech Mascara that stick to lashes better (i use L'oreal Double extend mascara) **Always keep blotting papers (found in any drugstore) in your purse or desk drawer..these have been a life saver for me over the years and keeps my face from looking like you could cook bacon on it !! You know that feeling that you have after you have waited all year and built up so much anticipation for that special vacation and then you go and have the best week of your life and then you come back to "REAL LIFE". I almost compare it to a mini deep depression for about the first few days when you get back. Destin was great while lasted but now we are back into the swing of "normal" life. Read all about my Destin vacation in "Travel and Tips". Here are some tips and ideas on how to make that dollar go a little further this summer. I am trying different ideas and these have worked for me !! **CHRISTMAS IN JULY..TAKE ADVANTAGE OF LAYAWAY AT LOCAL CHAINS AND BUY GIFTS THAT YOU CAN PAY FOR OVER 8 TO 12 WEEKS **GET OUT AND VISIT THOSE FARMERS MARKETS !! WHAT IS BETTER IN THE SUMMER TIME THAN LOCAL FRESH FRUIT AND VEGGIES. COMPLIMENT YOUR MEAT WITH LOW PRICED VEGGIES AND FRUIT THAT YOU CAN COOK ON THE GRILL, BEST PART IS ITS HEALTHY !! **TRADE DONT BUY BRAND NEW !! EVERY AUGUST IN MY AREA WE HAVE LOCAL CONSIGNMENTS THAT YOU CAN NOT ONLY MAKE SOME EXTRA MONEY BUT ALSO PICK UP SOME "NEW" CUTE THINGS FOR YOUR LITTLE ONES **TURN DOWN THE AC !! FANS ARE CHEAPER TO RUN THAN AIR CONDITIONERS SO YOU CAN RAISE YOUR THERMOSTAT UP 2-4 DEGREES AND TURN ON THOSE FANS...WE TRIED THIS IN OUR HOUSE AND SAVED ALMOST 10% ON OUR FIRST BILL I probably burn anywhere from 1-3 Yankee Candles at the same time in my house...its yet again another obsession I have !
