Hey, It's Okay

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

.....to can't believe this is my daughter's FINAL full week of High School. Her last day is May 29th. And then she's finished. Forever. Yikes.

.....to hope her final theatre production goes well this weekend. Her boyfriend is directing and she's in charge of costume and props. It's for Senior One Act Plays. Seniors are in charge of doing everything. 

.....to be glad Tommy is home from college. It's always an ordeal getting him moved out of his dorm and then having to deal with everything sitting in the front room. But it's okay. He's home for the summer!

......to be amused by Felon 47's childish rants on social media about Taylor Swift & Bruce Springsteen. He's like, what, 80? And he's triggered by them because they dare to speak out against his nonsense? Ha!

......to love this Rapunzel graduation lei that I had made for Natalie from the Lely Blossom Crafts store on Etsy. She's always loved the movie Tangled so it's fitting. She's not allowed to wear it for graduation since her school is strict about extra things, but we used it for photos.

Belkin Accessories Are Perfect For Travel

I was sent a package of #Belkin accessories. My opinions are my own.  #BelkinConnections #BelkinPartner

We have several trips planned for the summer. We're headed to the beach and then back to Walt Disney World. 

Of course we need our electronics to be charged to capture memories and to figure out where the heck we go if we get lost. (I say if, but it'll probably happen. I get lost easily.)

At Walt Disney World, you need to use the app for lightening lanes and reservations so the phone MUST be charged at all times. 

Belkin can help with all their fantastic accessories. And even better, many of their items are made with recycled materials AND use plastic-free packaging. 

We were sent some helpful Belkin accessories to use for our travels.

First up are the noise canceling over-ear headphones. These are perfect for my son Tommy. He has autism so sometimes the outside world gets too noisy. He says they are comfortable and truly cancels out unwanted sounds. 

They have 60 hours of total playtime & are comfortable. Perfect for airplane rides and if the destination is noisy, perfect for getting some quiet. It's been approved by someone with autism. 

Second is the Portable Charger. It's a Wireless Power Bank and has a built in pop-up kickstand so if your phone needs charged and you're watching a show, you can still enjoy. It arrived mostly charged so it worked & charged the phone quickly. 

Our phone batteries dwindle down fast at Walt Disney World, so I'm happy this is small enough to stick in the backpack when they need a quick boost. I can't help it though. I take a bunch of pics. Everything is fantastic at Walt Disney World. Castles! Food! Rides! Oh, and you know, my kids. 

Finally, this BoostCharge Pro can charge an iPhone, AirPods, and an Apple Watch all at once. And fast! We do not own an Apple Watch (yet), but we have AirPods and iPhones, so this is perfect. You can get one in white or black. It truly charges quickly. Yes, you can adjust the tilt as well! 

We'll be bringing these with us on our trips for sure. Keep Belkin in mind the next time you travel.

Musee Du Parfum Fragonard In Paris

 My daughter loves perfume. She owns many bottles. I think I own one? Maybe? I'll be honest, I mostly stick to the sprays from Bath & Body Works. But Natalie, she's always had more expensive tastes than I do. She has perfumes from Ralph Lauren, Billie Eilish, Judy Garland...

When we were in Paris, one of the activities was to visit a perfume museum. Natalie was thrilled over this! It was called the Musee Du Parfum Fragonard and it's FREE. 

She was even more excited when we got a free sample when we walked in. 

It did smell incredible. It reminded me of florals in the spring. 

We also learned the history of perfume--it's been around for centuries. It was neat to see the bottles from back in the day as well. And yes, our guide spoke in English. They do have English tours. 

There's Marie Antionette. She loved perfume, as did her husband. 

Look at all these beautiful bottles:

The tour took about 30 minutes or so and then we were led to the store where we could purchase the perfumes that are made by the company. We were given samples of a bunch of them. 

In the end, Natalie went with one that was described as vintage called Belle de Nuit. It is described as a rich harmony of fruits & flowers. As you know, Natalie loves her vintage clothes, so it's fitting she went with the perfume.

If you're in Paris, I recommend the perfume tour--or if you'd rather not do the tour, anyone is welcome into the Fragonard store. There are perfumes, soaps, and other items that smell incredible. Yes, you can order online as well if you cannot make it. Natalie would recommend the soaps and the Belle de Nuit perfume.
