Paw Print Solar Lights for a Whimsical Garden

cosmos seedlings
Finally, it's beginning to feel springy here in the Philly area! It's time to prepare for our summer gardens. I have started some cosmos in a sunny kitchen window. How fascinating it is to watch little seeds come to life. It's a miracle really. A little dry seed goes into the dirt and becomes a beautiful flower in a matter of 7 weeks. 

My little butterfly/hummingbird garden not only brightens my day with beauty, it also gives me some much needed garden therapy stress relief, a little exercise, and a nice dose of Vitamin D! 

I stopped in Boscovs Department Store recently, strolled through the garden department, and came upon these. Simply a must have for the cat lady that I am! 💕😺💕 

solar powered animal paw lights

Solar Powered Animal Paw Lights. They were only $19.99 and were on sale for $14.99. 

I saw them on Amazon in Colors too! Here is my Amazon Affiliate Link to shop:

These little paw prints instantly created whimsy in my garden!!! I just love solar powered lights and find they hold up well all year long. Plus, the sun charges them for free! There are strings of solar lights on my deck from last summer. They made through the cold, snowy winter and still light. 

The sun charges solar lights by day so they can shine at night. Cloudy days don't charge them well. The lights are dim and don't stay lit very long after a cloudy day.
solar powered battery pack
The paw prints are super easy to install.

Attach the Stake
Slide the plastic stake onto the solar battery pack.
 
Find the Perfect Spot
Find a sunny spot to place the solar battery pack. Be sure it's not near any nighttime light source. The lights won't turn on unless it's dark. 

Choose your Setting
Turn the switch on the battery pack to "on" or to "flash" if you prefer.
 
Create your Design
Arrange the paw prints and gently push the stakes in the ground. 

Let the sun charge them up and watch them glow when it gets dark!

They are LED lights, therefore they are nice and bright with bluish white light. A sensor allows the lights to go on when it get dark and turn off when it gets to be daylight automatically.

White Bumps Under Eyes: Milia

Have you noticed that you have little white looking bumps under your eyes? Some people call it chicken skin because the bumps look like plucked chicken skin. 🐔 Most likely those little white bumps are milia. They can feel hard or pearly. These bumps are not acne. Milia can occur when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the outer layer of skin. Keratin becomes trapped and builds up. A small benign cyst can form which is the milia. It's a cyst!?! Don't let that word scare you. They are harmless, but unwanted bumps.  They can occur on any area of the skin that tends to be on the dry side. They cannot be squeezed out like a blackhead or pimple because they have no opening. A layer of skin covers them. A hole must be created in them using a needle, then they can be extracted out.

Why does my lipstick change color on my lips?

So, you found a gorgeous shade of peachy nude lipstick.... right on trend. It looks amazing in the lipstick tube but when you put it on, it turns orange within 15 minutes!  It happens to me all the time. Pigments in the lipstick react with the chemistry of the skin and change color. This color shift is due to the pH of the skin. Our skin has an acidic pH of 4.5 to 5.5. It varies slightly from person to person which is why lipstick changes on some people and not others.  The oil, sweat and bacteria on our skin create a protective layer called the acid mantle with its pH of 4.5 to 5.5. The acid mantle can change due to how we treat our skin.  The skin pH can change due to the environment.  The sun, as well as pollution, can affect skin's pH.  What we eat can affect the pH of our skin.  Sweating and cosmetic products can also change pH.  The skin will always try to get back to 4.5-5.5 no matter how we abuse it.  Use gentle pH balanced skin care products, eat a healthy diet w

Dermatofibromas

This post is all about dermatofibromas and some remedies to help make them look better and ways hide them. It includes my Amazon Affiliate Links to help you find the products I talk about. Q. I have this brown bump on my leg that won't go away. What can I do about it? A. It could be a dermatofibroma. I see them often on my leg waxing clients. A dermatofibroma is a tan to brown benign raised bump more common in women than men and occur commonly on the legs. The bump feels hard under the skin and can be itchy, tender and easily irritated. A doctor will tell you not to worry about it because it's benign, but it's kind of ugly! Dermatofibromas are also called Benign Fibrous Histiocytomas. They are the result of some sort of injury to the skin such as an ingrown hair or a bug bite.  Be careful when shaving because a dermatofibroma may bleed and become sore if nicked. Don't think you can get rid of it by shaving it off. It will be an awful looking sore and will j
