December Cozy Things Giveaway

December 18, 2020 by Rachel

This post contains affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission if you choose to purchase through links I provide (at no extra cost to you). As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

I wish I could send these three items to everyone who commented on my Instagram giveaway post…thanks for participating!

Here are the sources in case you’re interested in collecting them for yourself (the coffee scrub makes an excellent stocking stuffer, I might add!)

The mug is hand lettered by Gale Nation. I love her work! This exact mug isn’t available any longer but you can find her other products here.

The coffee scrub is one I first tried from Grove Collaborative-a home essentials delivery service I’ve used for years and love. It’s gentle and moisturizing. {full disclosure: following my Grove link and placing an order gives you a free gift set and me $10 per referral}

If you can’t find it at your local store that carries Yes products, you can also order the scrub from Amazon, and right now it’s on sale for $8.86 plus a coupon for 15% if you add it to your subscribe and save order!

Sisterhood of the Traveling…BB Cream?

April 24, 2018 by Rachel

I have five younger sisters (yes, FIVE), of which I am proudly the oldest and tallest. {Someone has to be higher up in order to be looking out for everyone all the time.} If our faces didn’t look so similar, I might be inclined to believe the story that I was adopted (specifically, found on the side of the road), since they are all miniatures wearing ridiculously small shoes while I’ve been clomping around in size 10’s and towering over everyone like a giraffe since age 12.

Remember that movie about a magical pair of jeans which fit four different friends perfectly? We have our very own version of that, a sort of connecting thread.

Due to our height, and general body shape differences we have three camps: Very Petite Sister, All the Other Sisters, and Me.  No one can wear my shoes or clothes. I can wear their stuff only if it is giant-sized. However, there are two things which us Oldest 5 love and use frequently. And these two things we can share and share alike.
