Staying away from sugar can be a bit of a challenge. Some days not so much but other days a yummy, sweet dessert would be lovely. So, the other day was one of those days. I discovered a sweet fix to curb the sweet tooth. I went to Bath & Body Works and found a few items to curtail the sweet tooth. If I am not consuming sugar, then I could at least smell sugary sweet. I found 2 creams/lotions that were 75%boff of the retail selling price. I bought Groovy Watermelon body cream. It has notes of juicy pink watermelon, sugared strawberry blossoms and lime zest. Doesn't that sound wonderful, it is, because I am wearing that scent today. I used sweet almond oil mixed with mint body wash fragrance then layered with the watermelon scent. The other scent is Cinnamon Donut Swirl. The notes are sweet cinnamon, brown sugar and fluffy dough. That was a lotion since they did not have any body creams in that scent.
Then to top it off, I purchased a flavored lip gloss. It has the flavor of pineapple. I like that so much I just may have to go back and get another one and maybe try two other colors they have. See, God can take care of that sweet tooth fix for you if you just let Holy Spirit show you how to.
I live in a caring community, and we look out for each other. Early this morning I noticed 2 police cars parked outside by me and a neighbor. I opened the door to see if anything was wrong. They shared that someone placed a 911 call and asked me if I placed the call or even by accident. I got my phone, and I made no calls after last evening. They said the neighbor didn't make one either. She left me a text message and she called the dispatchers to see what happened. A ping went off in the area of the call. I think they went down the street to ask neighbors if they by any chance placed a 911 call. It was not much longer the police cars then left. This is a great neighborhood and community that looks out for each other. How many other communities would check with neighbors to see if they were ok after a 911 call came in. They did not just stop at one house but made sure the neighbors were ok. That is what I am talking about, caring neighbors & community all in one. Then it was trash collection day, and someone graciously brought my receptacle can back from the curb for me. I shared a rice dish I made the other day with a neighbor, and they said it was enough to last for 2 meals. Great compliment is when someone asks for the name of a dish you made.
God is good all the time and for sure He is good always. I was able to pick so far 4 carnations I planted from seed last year and several ripe tomatoes too. Dill and new chives planted by seeds are coming up just nicely. I have to refill my wasp catcher so as to not let them get me. I also found a suet bird feeder container I had so I hung a big hook in a tree and placed a new suet for the birds to enjoy. I have an abundance of blooms about to burst forth from my hibiscus too.
One more small goodie I purchased; strawberry pound cake scented hand sanitizer.
Count your blessings 1 by 1 and be thankful for the times Holy Spirit & angels saved you from mishaps, what do you think. Hey, if you are viewing this then be most thankful that you are able to view this and you are alive and can give thanks to God.
