Pardon the pun, but these cupcake toppers take the cake! Such a cute and easy way to dress up cupcakes for Halloween.

I especially love the spider topper, although that ghost is a close second! Click the photo to be taken to the website. These are on our Halloween party wish list for sure!

I have seen some other, not as attractive, versions of water globes. And I have always thought that they were a wonderful idea, and a great way to make sure that our plants never dried out due to my own forgetfulness. But I really couldn’t bring myself to buy the ones “seen on TV”. However I found a very nice, attractive version at Gardeners Supply Company. Right now they have a special going, take 10% off orders of $50 or more (now through 10.08.08).

I may have to take advantage of that special and get some of these water globes! Click the photo to be taken to the water globe page.

I love these flame free candles for Halloween. Not only do they look great, but they make spooky sounds too! They are battery operated and come in a spider web design or a witch design. I think they are both wish list worthy and would love to have some for my Halloween decoration collection.

One of the things that I have struggled with for my whole life is very dry hands. In fact, when I was young my mom used to put Vaseline on my hands before bedtime, and then I would have to sleep in gloves. They were so bad that they would crack and bleed, and often they still do if I am not diligent about putting on lotion often.

So of course when I got the chance to try out Skin MD Natural I was excited to see if it would work well to keep my poor skin from cracking. Let me just say, I love this stuff! I love the way it feels after I put it on, because it doesn’t feel like there is lotion on. I also love that there really isn’t an obvious scent. It’s perfect for those of us who are sensitive to smell. From the website:

Skin MD Natural™ utilizes the finest effective natural skin care ingredients for dry skin treatment along with the latest advances in dry skin care technology to hydrate and protect the skin.

This is an entirely new concept in skin care requiring a new classification: “Shielding Lotion”. A shielding lotion keeps moisture-robbing irritants away from the skin while the proprietary “super” humectants hydrate the skin throughout the day.

An accumulated effect of Skin MD Natural is fully realized after only a few days of daily use. Depending on how dry your skin is the first few days may require reapplications after only a few hours. Usually, after a few days of continuous use, only one or two daily applications are necessary for complete dry skin care.

I have to say that I really could tell a difference after using it for a week. It worked very well keeping my hands soft even after being in the garden working in the dirt, which is very drying to skin.

Highly recommended!
