2022 Favorite Things

I missed last year but have compiled a list that is for 2021-2022. 

Most of these things are edible ha ha. 


Magnesium is something that most of us are lacking. This Calm Creme by Lemongrass Spa (Yes, I am still a consultant but I don't do parties anymore) is an excellent way to get magnesium. I was making my own magnesium lotion until they came out tight this. It is available in the lavender/vanilla scent or peppermint. Use on feet, legs or anywhere with sore muscles or cramps. 

I actually found this stuff in 2021 and have since forgotten about it. Milk Street coffee sugars. They have several different varieties but we liked this one best. Really good in tea (or coffee, if you're into that....)


Savannah Bee Honey. Whipped Cinnamon. I have tried other brands of whipped cinnamon honey (trying to save some money because this stuff is $18 a bottle) but they cannot compare. These people know what they are doing and this stuff is amazing. 


Uh yeah. They make it in chocolate too. This, along with the Prana Chai (see below) makes for a fantastic chocolate chai. I am not the same after using the Savannah Bee whipped honey. 
Due to the stress of 2022 I have given up caffeine. A decision I do not recommend. However, it send me on a search for a good decaf chai. My favorite of decades, Tazo Chai, puts chicory in their decaf (I hate chicory) - so that was not an option. I had to go to Australia (figuratively) to find Prana Chai. Their decaf blend is perfect for me. Discovered this brand at a coffee shop in Donegal, PA. Researched online and am now a fan. 

Ashwagandha. This herbal supplement is good for lowing cortisol levels and helping to reduce stress. I take it daily now. Over time it has really helped. It isn't one that works right away (though hemp oil or gummies do!), but takes time to regulate. 



Lemon balm tea is very calming and soothing. Need a stress/anxiety relieving tea? This is it. Tastes like lemon. Really good on its own or with some honey. 


These little maple candies are the size of a mint and are so yummy. Just a little treat to myself. My three-year-old grandson often asks for one of my special candies. He enjoys them too. Natural ingredients. 


Speaking of maple....these Quinn Maple Almond Butter Filled pretzel nuggets are perfection in salty pretzel goodness. Quinn pretzels are mostly natural (some seed oils) and are so crunchy and satisfying. This flavor though. Nothing like it. 


We've actually switched over to Quinn pretzels in general. They are really good and good for you. I find them on Thrive Market or iHerb. Crunchy pretzels with great flavor. Love them. 


Counterfeit Kingdom. Digs into the NAR movement and shows how deceiving it can be. People, read your Bibles and learn truth so you can discern what all of this stuff is. Biblical Christianity is all we need. 


Hope you enjoyed my list. 

Merry Christmas!

Selling items on Craigslist and common scams

I'm selling a couple of things on Craigslist. I've done this a few times before and always, the first interested parties I hear from are scammers. This time in my listing I specified that I will not take money orders and asked that scammers not contact me. Here's the first interested party that I heard from: mr robins journeycristina@gmail.com Is it still available for sale... I replied: Yes it is. Here's the second contact from the first interested party. Note that the name of the sender and the email of the sender are different than the ones from the first contact: Clyde Wright fisherr.mattyy@gmail.com Hello, Thanks for the swift response, just to let you know that am okay with the condition and price of the item, am ready for its purchase and my form of payment will be by sending you Check via UPS next day delivery.

The Tool Box

I can hear my husband clanging tools around in the garage. He's going through his twenty-four year collection and putting together a tool box for our twenty-two year old son.  Gulp. When did we become parents of an adult who is able to move out and live on his own? He's coming home tomorrow to collect the furniture he's chosen from our house and some other things. He's been gone for a few years but has always come home for summer and holidays. This time it's permanent. There won't be any more summers at home. I won't have to tiptoe around while he's still sleeping. I won't have to chase him out of the shower because he's been in there for a very long time. I won't have to buy Cooper cheese or boxes of Macaroni & Cheese anymore.  The tool box Wayne is putting together for him will last him many years. He'll hang pictures, tighten bolts, and fix small accidents with it. It'll stay by his side as he begins new chapters...

choose your own way

While I was being a good wife this morning, completing the one task my husband asked of me (using the squeegee thing to push melting snow and ice out of the garage after he left for work), I had time to think about life and all of it's stuff. I haven't had time to think or write much over the past year due to life, but I have a few moments now....so let's think.  We live.  We die.  We go to heaven or hell. That's the cycle for each of us. But it's our choice. We decide in advance where we will spend eternity. I am woefully tired of the  They are partying in heaven together posts each time a celebrity dies.  Because they probably aren't. As Christians, we trust the Bible is true. If we read it and believe then we know, by their fruit, if someone has a relationship with the Lord. Not by how funny they were or how loved they were or even by how kind they seemed to be. Their influence doesn't matter. Their popularity doesn't matter. In the end, all that mat...
