I have three new favorites to share with you. I always appreciate personal endorsements and perhaps you do, too.
I am thoroughly enjoying this new devotional book, Devotions from the Front Porch by Stacy Edwards. My husband gave it to me for Valentine's Day so I have been using it for a few weeks now. Of course, the cover spoke to me because of my love of front porches! Each devotional is just a page long, incorporates an appropriate Bible verse and include a pretty color plate. Naturally I cannot share an excerpt due to copyright, but I will say the topics range from rocking chairs to rain puddles and all are meaningful and beautiful. I would most definitely recommend this book. By the way, he found it at Cracker Barrel which is not surprising since I find their merchandising to be exceptional. The author has two other books ( Devotions from the Garden and Devotions for the Beach) and I am sure that they are equally as good.
When it was necessary for me to replace my brush about six weeks ago, I happened to purchase a Wet Brush Pro. I didn't seek this brand as I was previously unfamiliar with it, but I thought it seemed like the best choice after examining all of the options at the store. I must say that I truly love the way it brushes through my wet locks and works quite well when I dry/style. After the fact, I looked it up online and discovered that the manufacturer claims it to be a good detangler and I concur. This particular style is also supposed to reduce dry time and for someone with thick hair like mine, even a few minutes can make a difference! It replaced my wide vent-style brush and I would definitely buy another one like this.
Raise your hand if you like almonds. Keep your hand up if you like wasabi. If you're a fan of both, I suggest you try Smokehouse Almonds Bold. They are delicious and have just enough wasabi flavor to make your nose tingle! My parents gave me this bag for a Valentine's Day treat and while I have always enjoyed Smokehouse brand almonds, I find this flavor to be outstanding. A few almonds can be a healthy snack, but keep in mind these do have a higher sodium level. I believe the bag reads that a serving contains 115 mg. per 28 almonds. That's really a lot of nuts for a quick snack, so you can consider serving size as it's likely you wouldn't eat that many at a time. I think the American Heart Association recommends we consume no more than 2,300 mg. of sodium a day. At any rate, I think they're great!
