Introducing the "Butt Bench" Review & Give Away 8.17

Butt Bench bathtub seat comes in either a beautiful Cedar wood or Pine wood material. It will fit into any standard 30” wide bathtub. They are 29x12or15

Okay, I have to tell you I didn't think this board was going to hold my butt and it made me nervous at first, but this very sturdy and certainly not flimsy bench is fabulous.  As you know I have Spinal Stenosis and when you have pain or problems with your back or other joints it's hard to wash etc, without some sort of help sometimes.  Well, now I have that help, and I don't have to yell for anybody.  WOO HOO!  I have my independence back and I just sit my BUTT on this BENCH!  GOT IT!  BUTT BENCH!  I love this thing.  So, okay I know you're dying to find out, right?  Okay!  OKAY, ALREADY!  Besides you're going to need a BEFORE picture anyway, and here it is, and as soon as I get that surgery and have the sleeve done I'll have an AFTER picture for you too!  So check this out.  I have my independence back!  WOO HOO!  Thank you to the people at BUTT BENCH.~ and it's so easy to set it up too!

Also, I can shave my legs without putting my back in extreme pain or soak my legs and feet without jumping in the tub.  We have a very deep tub as you can see so instead of sitting on the edge of the tub, and straining my back, not to mention holding on for dear life I can soak my feet to take down the swelling.   I just sit on my Butt Bench and maybe read a book or put my head back and just shut my eyes for a few minutes, which is always nice.  Oh, and it comes in Cedar, Pink or White too!  If you're not in the mood for sitting you can always just put your Shampoo, Creme Rinse, or bath soap etc. on it too.  It's very sturdy and makes a great shelf for all your necessities.  Now don't laugh, but let me tell you how sturdy this bench is and how strong it is.  Look even my Butt fits this Bench!!!  lol shhhhhhhhhhhhhh no laughing!!!!  I love it and with my back I don't need any more help and I'm independent once again! 

 

So, what did  you say?  You want one?  Well, why didn't you say so!  What color (see below)?  My friends at Buttbench.com want to give my readers one all you have to do is enter below, and if one is not enough for you just go to their website at buttbench.com and you can order whatever you like there.  It's super simple.

  Come and enter for your seat next to cleanliness the easy way! "Butt Bench"

CARMEX STICKS & NEW POMEGRANATE FLAVOR GIVE-AWAY Ends 8.15

CARMEX NEW POMEGRANATE FLAVOR

It's summer & we're having fun in the sun!  Your lips can become dry and parched & make the corners of your mouth crack.  I hate that.  Carmex has SPF 15 to protect our lips.  So, I use Carmex and why because of all the different flavors, and now they have a new flavor out, Pomegranate.  Sweet, yet a bit tart!  Yeah, kind of like sweet tarts the candy.  hahaha Remember those?

Carmex has sent me a collection of six Carmex Sticks with SPF 15, and a bright yellow like the sun Carmex Beach Bag, which I've already used at our Toys for Tots picnic, and man it held my Carmex beach blanket, sun lotion, hand towel, and wash cloth, tissue, brush & comb, and hubby's guitar tuner, but most importantly my new Carmex sticks.  My son loves the lime stick.  My daughter liked the Cherry and I loved the new one  Pomegranate flavor.  These sticks are so very moisturizing and has SPF 15 Water Resistant Sunscreen.  My poor daughter is susceptible to cold sores, but with Carmex on the job pretty smiles all around.  I use to use another black & white brand... uh hemmmm, but I switched to Carmex.  Why you ask?  Because of the flavors, ingredients?  Oh hell yeah all of the above, but the real reason, you don't fix something that's not broke.  It works!  The new one sweet, but made my lips feel cool with a zing! So come join me, and pucker up! Don't let the heat make your lips all dry & icky.  I know everyone is different so try it... you'll like it! I do and so does hubby & if hubby likes it you know it's good because he's such a fuss butt!  When I told him what flavor this new one was I put some on and said, "KISS ME YOU FOOL"!  LOL  He did!  He likes~!  End of story!

So come on we have the best month of summer coming up in just a few days.  Plus don't forget Labor Day weekend.  Picnics, parties, a day at the beach, parks, fireworks and Carmex!   What more can we ask for?  hehehe  Oh, and don't forget the kiddies!  My granddaughters love the different flavors especially the cherry is a big hit with them.  NaNee can we have some all the time?  I think they like it because it's like makeup.  You know, lipstick?  Who cares as long as they use it and keep their lips moist.  No chapped lips in this family I'll tell ya!  Well, the folks at Carmex agree, and they're going to give one of my readers the same kit they sent me.  WOO HOO!  SHARE THE WEALTH WITH BUDDIES!

Aloha Friday Photo Flashback with a little Friendship on the side!

Do you know what these are?  These were my mom's WORLD WAR II WAR RATIONS for gas during World War II.  Can you believe it?  I mean "DAM"!  hehehe

And this was my Mommy back then too!  She was 4' 10" & a little hotty, right?  lol

Alicia at More than Words started "Friday Photo Flashback". I'm having a blast & you can too! Dig out your photo album! Alicia is back!  Woo Hoo!  Welcome back Alicia. So everyone stop by Alicia's and hook up with her after you pull out your old pictures to share with us.

Question Of The Week:   What are your favorite summer recipes?

Friendship Friday

Personally... and in fact, I just made it tonight.  I make my salad with everything in there I like.  I start with my lettuce bag (you know the one with carrots etc. all chopped up), and then I put a handful of feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, half of chopped onion, some pieces of chicken meat,  avocado, and cherry tomatoes all topped with light buttermilk ranch dressing.  It's sooooooo good!  Especially on a day like today!

"In Hawaii, Aloha Friday a day of rest. So we're doin' the same. On Fridays we're taking it easy on posting. Therefore, our hostess is asking a simple question for you to answer; nothing that requires a lengthy response.  If you’d  like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link at the very friendly place of Islandlife808.com. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends and find new followers! 

My question is:  Do you think we'll ever need to have (War) Rations again? 

Wow!  That is one loaded question, isn't it?  I think with the way economy is going now, yes!  I do believe we are going to be rationed on something.  Not sure what yet, but if this economy doesn't straighten up in one way or the other will have rations on something.  Especially with this planet and the way its been acting.  Instead of blowing our money to find out if a rats ear hairs is the secret ingredient to making better gasoline how about putting our studies on where can we grow vegetables and not have it cost an arm and a leg to consumers.  How are we going to take care of our animals, live stock, when it's too hot outside and there's no grass to feed them?  Some day we could have rations not only for gasoline, but what about FOOD?  Will the Sci Fi movies come to pass where the pink pill will be breakfast and the blue for lunch and purple for supper and the little green one for a midnight snack!  

Wasn't that fun?  Have a Great Weekend Everyone, and THANKS for stopping by, and following me.   Oh!  Don't forget"MONDAY'S MUSIC MOVES ME".   This week's theme is " FUNNY SONGS".  It was a big hit last time we did it so let's go another round!  ALSO, It's our 100th week & it's finally here.  YES!  THIS IS IT!  Our Gala Celebration of 100 wks. Rockin' & a Rollin' with y'all IS HERE!  TIME TO CELEBRATE AND RANDOM.ORG WILL PULL OUR WINNERS PROMPTLY AT NOON ON JULY 30TH CST.    One Grand Prize and four other prizes.  WOO HOO  "5" Winners shall be announded!  So stick around for the fun!   HUGS  & Have a great weekend!  Also, GOOD LUCK TO EVERY ONE!  HURRY AND GET ALL YOUR ENTRIES IN!
