The Holy Grail of Exfoliation

I have found the holy grail of exfoliation! This is my absolute favorite at-home tool EVER so far! This has totally replaced my loofah. Back in the early part of December 2019, my mom and I went to Walmart to grab a few things. We were shopping for a few things we actually needed to get, but really just spent time together talking and meandering through the aisles. She told me she had bought a pair a pair of shower gloves, but she really would like to find something that exfoliated a little better. We looked at all the options Walmart had to offer when I saw these bad boys. They are the Equate Beauty Charcoal Gloves, and Walmart sells them for just $2.98 currently. They have held up well and still working as if they are brand new. Here's their link: Equate Beauty Charcoal Gloves.

My mom and I each bought a pair! Let me just say - these are both great for a "dry brush" rub down to exfoliate all your parts, and they are great just to use as a loofah/washcloth combo. I wash them at the end of every shower and hang them to dry just like you would your loofah normally, and then once a week throw them in the washing machine (again, just it's recommended for you loofah). Keep in mind that if you don't like it a little stout on the exfoliation, you might select another option on Walmart or Amazon (see affiliate links on my blog to both). But if you do and like your skin to glow and feel supple and smooth, simply add your favorite body wash or soap bar and lather away!

Sorry, I’ve Got to Call Them Out

Sorry everyone, I have got to call out a group and I hate to do it but it’s time —> “some” Medical Professionals. I really do love you all, and there are so many things we couldn’t survive as a community without you, but there is this one thing I see pop up. It’s apathy for the non-exciting sports injuries. Two weeks ago yesterday, our youngest who is a freshman, was playing his beloved football game at school. Towards the very end of the game during the 4th quarter, our son made a great tackle, but he also took a knee to the center of his chest. You know, of course it was just right where the shoulder pads didn’t cover: in the center. He shook it off until the end of the game (this kid will play through most anything!) We iced him down and watched him overnight and by the next day the very bottom area of his sternum was incredibly swollen; it looked like a tennis ball was under his skin! However, Saturday that was all but gone but still the center of his sternum hurt. We iced...

Opportunities - Unlike toilet paper in 2020, they are not few...

My family is my WHY. Doing something good for the “big picture" in life it is more than just intrinsic value. We are designed to give and to receive, and it should come joyfully from the heart. It is humbling and empowering to know that Joy wrapped up in one little package can be so motivating. With that being said, doing good should be evident for yourself as well as those you work along side at work, at church, at home, or any given relationship. Life is short - tell others what they mean or risk them resolving to their own ideas of what they mean to you. It's in our nature. Giving praise where praise is due is fundamental in knowing how we have done, and that we are valued. It shapes our experiences. Without it we will always flounder about and come to our own conclusions, no matter how ridiculous they may be. Doing something good for others extends past your reflective talking points, pushes you past your routine, and is something each of us crave as humans. Life is flui...

Back in the Saddle - Check out my ETSY Shop!

It's been a while! I am starting my blog again, because it's 2023, and we have SURVIVED and will continue to SURVIVE from the last few years on this wild ride of a world we live in. I created my own ETSY Shop, and my first item is a flexible and forgiving Budget Planner called The Budget for Surviving Life! My ETSY Shop is called - you guessed it - The Ever Evolving Smith - because that is simply who I am. I evolve. I learn something new daily. How fun is that? We are here to not only survive, but grow, and thrive - and that is what we all dream of right? We share love and hope, laughs and tears, throw in a little sass (or throw up hands) sometimes, and do our best to enjoy the time we are given. Printables (instant downloads) are not my only plan with my lil' shop, but it is a great start. I love what I created and I will use it myself. I have spent some time brainstorming, and have jotted down tons of ideas. I don't know about you, but I literally get a natural high...
