I went to Allergy Night at the new South Jordan Health Center at Daybreak the other night.  All this time I thought I was allergic to cats and dogs.  Turns out it's just cats! I took the free allergy test and I'm also allergic to few other things as you can tell by my arm :):)  They just poke your skin a bit (with plastic, not needles) and irritate it with their potions.  The staff was especially nice and helpful.  Plus the facility is so pretty!!  It really doesn't feel like a hospital.  It looks more spa-like. Dr. Kevin Wilson, M.D. was very informative about treatments and preventive measures.  I also learned way more about dust mites than I wanted to.  :)  Luckily I'm not too allergic to them, since they live in the home.  But if you are, there are ways to get rid of them....vacuuming, laundry, special pillowcases.  They can't live above 5,000 - 6,000 feet elevation or below 45% humidity. Due to the popularity of this event, the South Jordan H

My kids love to play with dress-ups.  I was able to review a costume from BuyCostumes.com and I chose the above Chef Child Costume.  We have a play kitchen and this chef costume goes great with it.  My five year old prepares meals and serves my three year old.  I love pretend play and they are quite good at it now. :)  In fact there are a couple shows that both of my kids can reenact.  They put a play on for us last night..lol The costume comes with a chef hat, chef shirt, rolling pin, pie server, meat cleaver, pan, strainer and a slotted ladle.  I also got a little gas stove.  Everything you need to whip up some pretend food. :)   The quality of this costume is great.  I feel like it will last for at least as long as both my kids can fit in it. Here my daughter is deciding what to make.  In the next picture she decided to flip pancakes..lol  The hat is a little big for her now, but I just flip up the back and it stays on fine. If one of my kids decide they want to be a ch

Lightweight..Summer/Spring Shawl..Italian Cotton Winner Lilia Vanini ( LiliaVaniniBoutique ) is on Etsy and has been involved with fashion for many years. Her interest began long before her involvement in Etsy.  Lilia has studied graphic design and loves writing about fashion.  This love for fashion turned to an interest in the  "handmade world." She lives between her two homes, Lima Peru, and Venice Italy.  Because of this, she has been able to learn the "best Italian methods and finishing techniques." I was able to review a jersey style infinity scarf and absolutely love it.  It is so soft, and can be easily washed--easy like a shirt (I still like to hang dry it). Any of these scarves help "spice" up a t-shirt, as well as a more "fancy" outfits.  I like the jersey style with my t-shirt and jeans best. ;) LiliaVaniniBoutique is a shop where you can find a variety of items including a couple of different kinds of sc
