Everyone knows that I am like a kid at Christmas when a box from Sephora arrives at my house. In particular, I love getting brand new products that I have never tried before.

The Sun Safety Kit is available only at Sephora and is wonderful for so many reasons. First of all, 100% of the proceeds go to the Skin Cancer Foundation. Second, you get great sample sizes of sunscreen that will fit in every bag and backpack that you own. And third, you get to try some actual beauty products like bronzer and lip balm with SPF.

This kit is worth over $80 and is being sold for only $25. It is available in limited quantities only, so you need to take advantage quickly. Check out my video to see exactly what you get for your money. It’s a great value and would make a nice gift as well. Be sure to check out Sunshine Rewards for coupons and discounts because we almost always have a free shipping or gift with purchase coupon in addition to your cash back shopping.

Edited: The Sephora Sun Safety Kit 2010 has arrived! It is now a $210 value for $30

Up until recently, I had never heard of the Little Giant Ladder. And even once I had heard of it, I honestly did not pay much attention. That changed completely when I saw what it could actually do.

The name “Little Giant Ladder” is deceptive because it is not just one ladder. It actually can be configured into over 20 different ladders, including step ladders and scaffolding. It can be short enough to reach into cabinets or tall enough to put up Christmas lights on your roof. And I love the way that it stores–very compact.

Do yourself a favor and check out this video. You will be extremely impressed by the Little Giant Ladder’s versatility. Every home owner needs one of these.

The other day I noticed that I am missing quite a few spoons–my GOOD spoons! I remember as a child my mother always chastising us for losing the spoons. Apparently either my children lose spoons as well or it has been me losing them all along.

The good news is that my pattern is Oneida Capello, one of their Patterns for a Lifetime. I originally started collecting my set when I got married almost 10 years ago. Since then I have expanded my set and added serving spoons. Now, using their Open Stock program, I can buy just the replacement spoons that I need.

I love that my silverware is sturdy enough to be used everyday but fancy enough to be used with my china. We’ve never broken or bent a single spoon or fork (even the ones that found their way into the garbage disposal). If you are just starting out in your home or looking to replace old silverware, I can’t recommend Oneida enough. Be sure to check out Sunshine Rewards for the latest discounts (including percent off, free shipping, and open stock sales).

Here’s a short video highlighting some of my Oneida silverware. I’m sure you will see why I love it so much.
