You're Welcome

Simplify your life! Why would I waste time doing something when there's an easier way? I am going to share with you 10 ways I make my life easier. Hold on to your pants - you are about to be blown away. And disclaimer - I am typically behind the times with most things. We do not own cable television for instance so I never typically know what is going on in the world. So some of you will read this list and think, "my pants did not blow off." So I apologize ahead of time.

1. Online banking.

Who left of you is not doing this and why? I can't remember the last time I bought a stamp and I can't even tell you how much a stamp costs. 40 cents? No clue. Paying my phone, electric, and gas bill in 46 seconds while sitting on the toilet while my kids are in the bath is the best invention ever. EVER.

2. This thing:

Whatever the heck this thing is has saved me on many occasions. You use it to open lids. I got it as a wedding gift and it was one of the best gifts ever. This and my flower print screwdriver that comes apart and has any attachment you may need.

3. Dollar Shave Club.

Holy heck where has this been my whole life? Lets have a reenactment shall we?

(Tony yelling) "Babe we don't have any more razors!"

Me: "Not true my sweet potato! 5 new ones just came in the mail for $3.64. We never need to leave the house to buy razors again!"

Tony: "I knew I married you for a reason!"

4. Young Living Essential Oils.

Tummy stuff? Here's some peppermint. Feeling low? Here's some joy. Think you're sick? Diffuse some thieves. This stuff has saved my life and made my life so much easier since my friend told me about this two years ago.

But oh you picked up your lavender from CVS and also picked up a chemical burn in the process? No folks! Not a darn chance! I will only buy from YL. The purest of the pure, they've been in the essential oil business for 21 years so they have had a beautiful amount of time to learn how to achieve the purest of the pure essential oil, they have a Seed to Seal guarantee because their stuff is distilled slowly at low pressure low heat so as not to lose the therapeutic properties of the plant, you can visit their farms - you know I could go on and on right? They are the best of the best. Don't waste your money or time on anything else. And if you have, come to my house and we will compare our stuff. And I will win. Boom.

5. Winder Farms delivery.

Food delivered to my door every Tuesday morning that I have picked out the night before? So if I need something it just shows up and I don't have to leave my house with children or wondering if I put on deodorant? Yes please! Minimum purchase is $10 a week and you can skip weeks. Amazeballs.

6. AAA

I have been a member of AAA for about 12 years. Yes you can get a tow, jump, get your keys out of your locked car but this is not why I do it - never dealing with the DMV is why I do it. Tags expiring? Walk right into AAA and hand over your car registration money for those cute stickers that the government makes you get every year. Need to add your husband to the title of your car? AAA will do it! The DMV would mess that stuff up. And ruin your life.

7. Thieves Cleaner.

I use this stuff for everything. EVERYTHING. And you don't have to evacuate your family to use it. I spray it on my countertops, windows, mirrors, ants, carpet stains - 1 bottle typically lasts me a year and costs about $22. One capfull per spray bottle and then you just spray away and wipe with a cloth. Easiest thing ever. Makes cleaning quick quick quick. Smells like cinnamon and Christmas.

8. Essential Beauty Serum

I use this on my face morning and night and my skin has never felt better. I do not use face lotion - I use jojoba oil with two drops of this stuff. Lasts me about 2 months. Costs $19.

9. Wine in a box.

Nothing more to say other than you're welcome.

10. Unfiltered Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

Add some to your water for digestive stuff, clean with it, I use it in my hair about once a week - gets rid of build up and my hair is so soft and shiny after. Itchy scalp? Mix a little with water and pour it on your head. Itch is gone and your smile will return. Stinks to high heaven but at least my hair and scalp feels great.

And there you have it folks! May you all rest a little easier tonight because of this info!
