Product Testing: Clean & Clear Makeup Dissolving line
I just started my very first BzzAgent Campaign – testing Clean & Clear’s makeup dissolving line and sharing my thoughts on it with others. Since I currently use – and really like – Clean & Clear’s MORNING BURST® Shine Control Facial Scrub, I thought this was a great campaign for me to start with. And I get to share the results with y’all!
I received:
- Clean & Clear makeup dissolving facial cleansing wipes
- Clean & Clear soothing eye makeup remover
- coupons and a couple trial packs of cleansing wipes to share with friends
- Clean & Clear makeup bag
So far I’ve used the facial cleansing wipes twice. I was only wearing a touch of foundation (more as a concealer) and a bit of mascara, so there really wasn’t much makeup to remove, but it did take it off nicely. I use Mary Kay mascara and generally just use water, as I’m quite terrified of getting any sort of cleanser in my eyes. These facial wipes did an excellent job removing the mascara completely without making black smudges under my eyes, and they didn’t bother my sensitive skin in the least. The jury’s still out on how clean they left my face feeling when I was done. I’ll keep you updated as I use them more. And I plan to try out the eye makeup remover later this week (a good excuse to play with eye liner and everything!) and will post my thoughts after I’ve done so.

Updates Overdue
I’m working on a new website for A Lady in Waiting – something that will be more cost effective and hopefully easier to update. If you have any suggestions for changes, please let me know! What do you like? What do you not like? What would you like to see added, deleted, easier to access, or changed in some way?
In other news, the next issue of the magazine has just been proofread. A few small edits and it’ll be on its way to the printer. Praise the Lord! Thank y’all for your patience. Please keep sharing about the magazine with friends and family. The more people we have subscribing and submitting content, the faster the upcoming issues will be completed.
And, finally, the e-newsletter. I’ve not sent one out in many months. Dare I say close to a year? If you were receiving the e-newsletter when it was still being sent out, could you please tell me what you liked or didn’t like about it? I’d like to start it back up again, but I want to make sure it’s helpful to those who are reading it!
Have a beautiful week! Enjoy the spring!

Swagbucks
I’ve just discovered Swagbucks this past month and like it so much I wanted to share. 
I’ve been a member for 3-4 weeks now and have already earned 33 Swagbucks, mostly by using their search engine. Just 12 more and I’ll have enough to trade in for a $5 Amazon gift card. I’ll probably be saving them up for awhile instead and getting some airline miles.
It took about a week for me to get used to searching with Swagbucks instead of Google, like I was accustomed to. Downloading the search bar was a big help. Once in awhile I still switch over to Google when Swagbucks doesn’t come up with quite what I need, but most of the time the results it comes up with are quite sufficient.
Why not give Swagbucks a try? Use them for your everyday online searches and you can be redeeming your “bucks” for gift cards in no time at all!

27 Days of Thanksgiving – Days 22-27
Family
It has been one crazy week here as we’ve spent the last six days packing, loading the moving truck, unloading the moving truck, cleaning, and trying to do a bit of organizing and set-up. The last of the boxes was moved into the house at 1:15 this morning. It’s official now – the Bentley family has moved. Praise the Lord, we’re finished!
There’s still lots of unpacking, set-up, organizing, and re-arranging to do, but we’re all here. All together again.
That’s what I’m most thankful about in regards to this move. Our family being together. And the fact that I have a family that likes to be together. I am so blessed.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

The Intangible
I’m typing this post from a Panera Bread, thankful for the free wi-fi they offer. Tomorrow we pack the moving van and wave goodbye to McKenney, on our way to the official beginning of a new verse in life’s song. Today I’m thankful for memories. For the dreams that keep us moving. For the prize that we keep running towards.
Today I’m thankful for the intangible. Faith, hope and dreams.
Blessing book entry day 19: my parents and their marriage that has not only lasted, but thrived for 31 years
Blessing book entry day 20: having a place to call home for so many years
Blessing book entry day 21: the hope that I have a home in Heaven
What are you thankful for today? How are you sharing it? Post a link to your blog entry/ies here!

27 Days of Thanksgiving – Day 18
Enter His Gates
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.”
Psalm 100:4
When we enter into prayer, how often do we enter with thanksgiving? How often do we step into the courts of the Lord offering praises to our King? I know that all too often my prayers begin with me, not with Him. Today I’m going to start working towards entering into my Father’s gates with thanksgiving and praise.
Blessing book entry for day 18: I’m thankful that He holds me and my future in His hands.
What are you thankful for today?

27 Days of Thanksgiving – Days 16 & 17
Thank you for this person, Lord.
I thank my God every time I remember you. Philippians 1:3
How often do we thank God for the people He brings to mind? When you suddenly find yourself thinking of a friend, a family member, a co-worker, a government leader . . . do you thank the Lord for them? There is no one on earth God did place here. No one He did not create and does not love. The next time He whispers someone’s name in our ears, let’s remember to tell Him thank you for them and ask Him to bless and guide them.
Blessing book entry for day 16: my sister Anna
Blessing book entry for day 17: my nieces and nephews
Who or what are you thankful for today?
