Hello, sweet Sugar Pie! Lately, I’ve been thinking about all the things that I want to share with you…things that I’m excited about and I think you will be too! You know when you try a new product, read a new book, find a super helpful App for your smartphone, hear an amazing Podcast, or cook a new recipe and it’s changed your life so much that you can’t wait to share it with your friends? That’s how I feel!
Last week I started a new series called Recipe Roundup, where I did the work for you in searching for some yummy new recipes and rounded them all up to share with y’all (click here to read that post)… this week I’m starting another series called Oh My! Have you heard?
This is where I’ll be sharing things that I LOVE (so much I wanna marry’em! Heehee!).
As I mentioned above, sometimes I’ll be sharing a Podcast I love, or a book or a Smartphone App but this week I’m sharing a product that I don’t want to be without! So here we go…
Oh My! Have You Heard about Thayers Witch Hazel Toner? Goodness. Gracious. It’s pretty amazing! I use it every night and morning after I wash my face. I actually look forward to using it because first of all it smells like fresh cut roses and it makes my skin so smooth and soft! It reduces the size of pores, helps with breakouts, acne, calms redness, it’s wonderfully soothing and so much more! (It also soothes, small cuts, bug bites and poison ivy!)
It’s all natural and comes from the Hamamelis Virginiana shrub. It’s blended with Aloe which is nutrient-rich, and also contains Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E, giving it excellent skin-brightening and anti-aging qualities (anti-aging?…sign me up!! Heehee!). In addition, the Glycerin in Thayers formula seals water into the skin, helping to keep skin supple and hydrated, while simultaneously promoting healthy skin cell maturation. You can read about all the goodness here!
I first found it at a health food store up in Springfield, 45 minutes away, but now I just get it here because it’s so much more convenient. I squirt a little on a round cotton pad and wipe my already cleansed face and neck. It’s so refreshing! Click here in this affiliate link if you want to check it out.
Now, I’d love to hear about your favorite product that you rave about to all your friends! It could be anything from your favorite kitchen gadget to your favorite moisturizer…whatever it is that you would not want to be without…please share in the comments below and help a girl out! Lol!
Bless your family…keep home sweet!

Yep, I have that exact item in the drawer in my bathroom. I use it twice a day after cleansing. Smells great, doesn’t sting my face, and leave my skin soft feeling. Good stuff.
I’m so glad you started a couple new series for your blog. I look forward to your posts so much. Thank you for all that you share.
I love your blog – have subscribed for years ! Great new series – I love knowing what other women ‘couldn’t do without’ – I have learned about so many great helpful products that way…..Thanks for a great blog – really enjoy it. Oh ! Almost forgot – my favorite product that I have used for many years is Olay Regenerist Moisturizer. Such a great product at a reasonable price.
Hi, Ruthie. I’ve loved and subscribed to your blog for years. You have blessed me so much throughout the years with your words of encouragement and example. I was wondering if you had a list of music that you used to play on your blog? I would go to your blog sometimes just for the music. It was always perfect for the appropriate season! Just wondering. Thank you for being so encouraging.
Howdy Aunt Ruthie!
I’m going’ try the Thayer’s Witch Hazel, sounds perfect for what I have been looking for!
My favorite find is a cleaning product, Mr Clean’s Magic Eraser!
They are awesome! Make it soooooo easy to clean your bath tub/ showers; any stubborn stain usually comes right off…like magic!
I have given these out to anyone of my friend/family who hadn’T tried this incredible product….cause who likes to spend time scrubbing and scrubbing?!?
Was painting the other day and found out that the magic eraser would just “melt” the paint off my hands…no fierce scrubbing required!
So enjoy your posts and blog!
Blessings to you and yours!
Hugs,
Debbie
Yep,heard about that,would love to try it!Love reading your posts,so glad you have decided to do more!!!Have a great day
You are truly a wonderful woman who brings smiles to my face every time I read one of your posts. Your warm and happy messages are a wonderful part of my day! Thank you!! xox
My best friend recently bought a bottle of this for me and I LOVE it! I love how it smells! Can’t wait to read more of your favorite things.
One of my favorite products is extra virgin coconut oil. I use it as a moisturizer, feed it to my dog with his pill tucked inside, have baked pies with it, used it in my hair, on my legs, and the list goes on. I generally get mine from a healthfood store…not all brands are the same quality. :0)
I just wanted to share some of my beauty favorites. One of my favorite things to use on my face and body is the Old Homestead Soaps and Lotions. The are made with fresh Goat’s Milk and leave your face and body soft, smooth and moisturized. I used to have dry skin problems but I don’t anymore. In fact I think my wrinkles and crows feet are getting smaller. The soap and lotion comes in different scents or unscented. If you want to try it go to http://www.oldhomesteadsoap.com. I grantee you will love it as much as I do. I won’t use grocery store soap again. Thanks for your recipes, tips and decorating ideas. Keep them coming!
I would like to recommend an author of inspirational romance (Christian) novels. Linda Goodnight is an incredibly talented, New York Times best seller, from Oklahoma. You can find her books at Walmart and Amazon. Please let me know what you think of her precious stories.
Hi! I bought your fall ebook from your YouTube link – Pumpkin & Hay Rides, but I’ve not received any link to download it. Forwarded my payment email & enquired about it, but have not received any response, so I’m hoping you can see this here?
Can you help? Thank you! :)
I believe you can also find that witch hazel at select Target or Walmart stores..
I like the old tyme look of it..but then again I’m a sucker for vintage and vintage inspired things..my current obsession is Soap n Glory..the smell reminds me of something my grandma would wear..
