Bucket List or Something Like That

A few weeks before we went to Italy, the hubs and I began a bucket list. We are not on our death bed, but we I thought it would be fun to put it all down. It's kind of hard to just think of a ton of things all at once. Of course there are things we knew right away that would be on the list, but then we wanted to really reach. So we borrowed some ideas by searching other bucket lists. When I was in my mid 20's a friend suggested I make a list of 100 things I wanted to see, have, be, or do in my life. So I did. I wish I could find that list now. I'd love to see how many I've accomplished, or changed my mind on. So we add to the list when we think of new things or read about a place that inspires us. I just wanted to share the list as it reads so far. I've crossed out the things we've done. We have a lot of work to do! And I'm sure the list will continue to grow!
I included a few pics of the ones we've done!

Tomatoes IN YOUR FACE!

As some of you know, my husband and I went to Italy this past summer with another fabulous couple. It was amazing. This is just a quick post to share how I fell in love with YES to tomatoes facial wipes. They are a long flight life saver. I always can't wait to do three things after a long flight, brush my teeth, wash my face, and change my undies (why yes, I said that!)  These wipes just felt so refreshing. Even our men used them on the flight! The tomato wipes are for oily or blemish prone skin, and I think they make a world of difference for travel. Oh, and also on those nights that you really don't feel like washing your face before bed, I just grab one of these babies and take it to bed with me and scrub a dub while I'm laying in bed. Anyway, they also make a cucumber one that my dear friend Sara at Sara Goes West introduced me to. They are both great, but I've stuck with the tomato version of the product. So, I thought I'd share with my faithful followers! (right?)

Dry Shampoo

So I have the oiliest hair and skin ever! I always washed my hair EVERYDAY! A few dear friends (Sara and Cori) turned me on to the idea of using dry shampoo. Now I'm sold! I use the cheapest thing out there. Why yes, it has horrible ingredients listed (butane, and propane) on the can, but I can't seem to find any I like that don't have those ingredients. I use Suave, with the yellow cap. It's for blondes, and I just love it. It has a fresh scent, it gives me the most amazing body I've ever had. The only negative is that a few times I think it gave me a few dry spots on my scalp, just really flaky dime size areas that kind of itched. That sucks right? Well I found that I get those in the oiliest parts of my "spray zone." It seems to happen when I try to go three or four days without washing. So I try to just do an every other day wash now. Anyway, I started this post a few months ago, and haven't gotten around to finishing it. I just wanted to share for any of you gals that are blessed with the natural oils that I am so over!
