Sunday, October 27th, 2013

So I am now going to be trying to use my blog more often than I have been, so I am going to try and post more. Hopefully a few time a week.

Here is some info I haven't posted. My name is Raya Whitehouse, I am 28, turning 29 November 2nd. I have a husband of 4 years named Dave (though we have been together for 15 years. And I have a daughter named Cassie.

I love to draw animals, though I am not good at humans at all. I love to read, I read all kinds of different novels, including teen fiction. I like playing games on my iPhone 4 and facebook.

We have 2 male dogs. Lucky, he is a brown and white, medium size, Shih-tzu/Poodle. He is now 3 years old last May. We also have Jersey who isn't really ours but my mother-in-laws, but we watch all the time. He is a small black miniature poodle. He is about 6 months old now.

We have 3 cats, 2 male and 1 female. 2 are fixed. The one male and female are siblings and have been fixed, named Stormy and Angel, they are about 7 years old now. The other male is my daughter's cat Oscar. He is a year old now.



So today is Sunday and my daughter has her friend over. She likes to having a friend with her all the time so there is someone her own age to be with. She had the friend over night last night and they stayed up till 12:25 before they went to sleep and had me wake them today at 9:30am.

I am a BzzAent and get to try out products for free, in exchange for an honest opinion. This post is about Burt's Bees® Intense Hydration. I have started to use the following products (and their following is their description)

When i used these two products together, in one day my skin felt softer and wasn`t as dry as it used to be. I have continued to use these and will likely buy the rest of the line later on.

It has an awesome scent, and it isn`t too strong of a smell. It absorbs very quickly.

BzzAgent - Burt's Bees® Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin

Being a bzzagent is great, you get to test new products, and say how they work or dont work for you.

Awesome product. Has no scent to it. Great for my sensitive type skin, i know i will be buying more of this product to use later on. I was given the facial wash and the cream, and using them both together really seems to help.

I got some samples and handed them out to a few friends and they are working for them as well. The price is pretty good for something that such a good reaction to sensitive skin types.

Trend Micro Titanium

As a BzzAgent I get to try many different types of products and this one is a very great thing. It protects your computer against viruses, as well as can back up photos/videos/etc. and it has parental controls that can even time your child(ren) how long and/or when they are on the computer.

Left at the Alter

Kimberly Kennedy takes her tragic experience of being left at the alter and offers hope to all who have experienced rejection in any area of life. She takes us through the 5 stages of rejection: Denial and Isolation, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance. She uses Bible verses as a way to show women how a relationship with Christ should be the central matter in their lives.

Her sister writes part of the story as there are details that Kimberley can’t recall because of her shock.

The book ends with steps for dealing with rejection and moving on.

All in all good book to read.

The Way Home (DVD)

A family is leaving for vacation, the father doesn't put the 2 year old boy (there is 3 children in total, but the 2 oldest are in school) in the van as asked by his wife, he lets him play as he goes back in to look at his computer. The son then disappears and the parents start to look, they go and search the house and yard and he doesn't turn up so they go to all their neighbors to see if he has been seen by them and no one has.

After 30 minutes the police is called. Father takes off to look by himself for his 2 year old boy "Joe". Father starts to think about how he was ignoring his children, for his work.

All in all this was a pretty good movie, I got tears in my eyes a few time while watching it.
