What is a Facebook Interest List?

It's a way to stay on Facebook even longer- Oh Geez!  Just kidding of course but I see myself looking at these lists daily now. 


Looks like you can create lists for your News Feeds by subscribing to your favorite interests.  You can subscribe to other people's list or create your own.  You make your list public, just for friends, or just you can see it.  I love how custom we can make our lists.

I found how to get there by:

  • click on HOME (right hand upper button)
  • click on MORE left hand side columns (mine was under Apps) 
  • click on Add Interests
  • it will give you suggestions and I went through and subscribed to several lists that I liked,
  • you can make you own lists too by clicking on Create List button- right hand side upper corner- See red circle (below). 


I made my own list: I love Giveaways- you can subscribe to it!

Have fun making your lists!

I've Been Banned From Using the Word "Play Date"

My 10 yr old son last night informed me NOT to call his "hanging out with his friends" PLAY DATES anymore. Oh... my bad!  Yesterday, I asked a dad if we could get our kids together for a play date and my son kicked me.  I thought at first he didn't want me asking but then the look on his face made me think...WTH did I say wrong! So when we got back home he informed me how embarrassing I was asking for a "playdate".  Hold on Buddy...I've been using PLAY DATE for years now and didn't realize play date sounded so babyish to you until now.  I asked him what he would rather have me say and "hanging with his friends" was the response I got.  Hmmmm... so I guess next time I will say "Mr. K can our boys HANG OUT soon"   Just wait my son,  I'm sure there are going to be far more times I embarrass you and I will do it with a smile on my face just like my parents did!

Review: Eraselet- Bracelet Eraser

REVIEW: I have to say what a cute product. Erasers are always being lost at our house- not even sure where they go but hey these Eraselets have worked wonders all week.  I even caught my 10 yr old using one the other night when he told me earlier those are too babyish for him.  I showed my daughter to turn it inside out and use a finger to help erase, it took her a couple times but now she is PRO!   She wore a couple the other to school and when she came home she didn't have any on, she gave them out.  I recommend Eraselet Braclet Eraser!

Want to WIN your own Eraselets:  ENTER HERE

PRODUCT INFO: The Eraselet® was designed for porous paper such as notebook paper, elementary lined paper, construction paper, low-end copy paper, newspaper; paper that kids use everyday in schools across America!  The Eraselet® is not recommended for laser copy paper, glossy paper or paper that has a film on it.  The most common way to use the Eraselet is to simply stretch it to the tip of your thumb or index finger and erase- use it inside out though so the outside stays clean :)

REVIEW- Ouidad Climate Control Frizz & Flyaway Fighter



I received a sample of Climate Control Frizz and Flyaway Fighter and  Climate Control Shampoo and Conditioner.  I have to say I really love this product.  I used it for both my hair and Lil Mama's hair.  If you have Curly Hair please try Ouidad products I know you won't be disappointed.  

My hair is so long and thick  right now that I get mad everyday trying to style it so its usually in a rubber band on top of my head.   The past 3 days (since using these products) my hair hangs so nice and NOT FRIZZY!  Yesterday,  I went to the grocery store and 4 people came up and told me  "What beautiful hair you have"  one lady even touched it and said she always wished for hair like mine.  My hubby even noticed the NO FRIZZ and asked what I did different.  Sorry to say I'm not going to post pics because I don't like having my picture taken with my double chins, LOL!   With the compliments I've received I'm going to tell you that it works just wonderfully on my thick wavy long hair! 

Now my daughter's hair is a big thorn in my butt because everyday it starts dreading up no matter what, so its usually in pony tails or braids.  I love her hair down but it takes a lot of work and within a couple hours its all dreaded and frizzy again.  Yesterday,  I washed her hair with the Climate Control Shampoo & Conditioner then combed through it with no fight!  When I was done I sprayed the Control Frizz and Flyaway fighter and BAM this is what she looked like!  We all loved her hair!  All night I was saying "Oh I love your hair".  When she got up this morning I just had to spray some water and the Frizz control on it and she was ready to go!  That hasn't happen all school year!

Review: Perfect Energy- New Chapter Organics

Last week I received a 5 day supply of PERFECT ENERGY and PERFECT CALM.  I decided to do "1" each week so last week I did Perfect Energy and I loved it.  In the past I've taken energy "vitamins" and felt jumpy and jittery all day but Perfect Energy didn't do that so THANK YOU New Chapter Organics.  

I took one 3 times a day (morning, afternoon and evening) and I was very productive through out the whole day.  My house was clean everyday and I'm not saying that it gave me energy to SPRING CLEAN (lol) no but I kept up on everything everyday with little effort.  Usually, I pick 1 or 2 days that I do housework but last week I did something everyday and wow that felt good.  What felt the best is I wasn't wanting to sleep after I got off work or just veg out in front of the TV. Also as some of vitamins that I have taken in the past I had a hard time falling asleep at night, not this time. 

 I was very productive last week and I have Perfect Energy to thank for that!  This week I will be testing the Perfect Calm

PERFECT ENERGY:
Product Info:  A complete multi-vitamin, Perfect Energy contains a combination of 23 whole-food vitamins and minerals formulated to promote optimal health while targeting the nutrients your body needs to sustain energy production, like whole-food complexed Vitamins B, C, E, and Selenium.* Yet another unique feature of Perfect Energy is the Vital Rhythms blend of flower essences which encourages mental focus, fortitude, and perseverance during times of stress.

Next Monday I will post my review on the Perfect Calm.  I will need it this week for sure~ I have a Book Fair I need to get ready for, finish off the Read-a-Thon this Friday, PTA Meeting on Thursday, plus all the other 100 projects I have going. 

Want more info on New Chapter Organic Products: http://www.bestpricenutrition.com/new-chapter.html

I did receive a 5 day Free Trial of the Perfect Energy and Perfect Calm and my view on this product are my very own.  I will not endorse a product that I haven't tried myself.
