6 Months to Christmas

By -
Don't panic.  Just sayin' its 6 months to Christmas. :) 

Today is product day here at the EYES blog. ;) 

 Shout out to my stylist Shanelle.
I told her I wanted an "ashy" blonde instead of gold this time. 
Love it.  Much closer to my dishy water natural color. 
I use UNITE with tonifier shampoo, to keep the tone.
It works. I noticed a huge difference when I ran out last time. 
 This is a foot scrubby.  Sorry, I didn't keep the packaging.
Grocery store find.  Keeps my summery sandal feet looking and smelling nice.  
 Zach plays tennis with a man from China.  His wife works for Wrigley.  He gave him a case of their new gum.
I can't try it due to sorbitol issues, 
but everyone at work loves it.  I share. ;) 
I haven't found the correct way to really wear my bolder band. It does work well when I'm getting my 10,000 steps in.  
Speaking of, I don't get my steps in everyday. I am however, much more aware of my sitting time.  
Most days I get a good 8,000 steps in. 
Not good enough. 
Must walk more. 
As one of you said,  my wrist pedometer keeps me accountable. 
I haven't lost it yet!  Love the wrist style.  I lost all the clip ons with a few days in the past.  

Last Product update should involve knitting right?  
Karen has this Fix a Stitch tool.   I want one. I know they sell them at Three Bags Full.  
Handy little tool sure helps !
I know I can ask for it for Christmas

I was just thinking about that Christmas thing the other day. I'm thinking there will NOT be a lot of Christmas stitching this year.

I have so many other ideas in mind.

It is about that time of year I start thinking about finding the perfect gifts for the holidays and tuck them away.

You introduced some interesting products too.

My husband's birthday was yesterday and he stated that his birthday is 6 months to Christmas Eve and where we live it would probably be cold. We were hot and sticky yesterday when we were walking around.

I love ash blond and the picture is so pretty! Your Bolder Band will be pretty around your pretty ash blond head as you walk. I walked a lot of steps today. According to my Fitbit it was 10,000 plus. That's one, heehee.

I am a gum chewer so I must try Swerve. Thanks for the product reviews.

Great reviews! I want a new shampoo. Do you wash daily? I didn't have to when I was walking, but running makes for a sweatier head...

Love my BBand too, but I'm pretty sure I don't wear it correctly either.

And true confessions... I swore when I saw the title of your post.

I've never heard of the Boulder Band. I need to Google it later.

I haven't tried any new products lately because I rarely go shopping.

I think I have gained 10 pounds from all my World Cup sitting and knitting. I need one of those gadgets to shame me into getting up and moving around more. I think I know what I'm going to ask Santa for this Christmas.

Hey even if you haven't hit your mark, you are VERY aware of your sitting time. I think I need to get one of those....

I've already started putting gifts away for the holiday season - but I have a buttload of birthdays that month too - so if I don't start early, I go crazy

Fun post! I'm going to dye my hair this weekend. I am going every other time to the stylist. I think my natural hair color now is just gray. Fun product reviews! I like that there is a chewing gum with the name swerve. hehe.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
