Hello. It's been awhile. So what's new I am an Lilla Rose independent stylist  www.lillarose.biz/CarlaCombs I am also a Pink Zebra Independent Consultant  www.pinkzebrahome.com/Carlacombs  more to come soon.

I have been busy. But I took a moment to use Garnier Olia Oil Powered Permanent Color instead of my usual brand. I just wanted to take a moment and let everyone know what I thought. First I got it for free in a bzzcampaign since I'm a bzzagent. Love those free products to try. I have tried many that I continue to use that I would of never tried without it being offered in a bzzcampaign. Garnier Olia was one of those. I would of never tried it. I thought my usual brand was fine. Now that I tried it and its been weeks later I love it. I did have trouble choosing a color. But I am very satisfied with the one I have chosen. I love how healthy my hair is even after weeks. Garnier Olia was super easy to do myself. I had no dripping problems. The instructions was easy to follow. Oh and the best part is the smell. It doesn't have the chemically ammonia smell. It actually smells like flowers. Oh yea I just said that. It smells so nice. My kids and husband didn't even know that I col

It's been awhile. I just wanted to share blog I read this morning. I think most of us can relate especially if your a woman. So I hope you all enjoy. http://chicagomama-brenna.blogspot.com/

What's new? Well almost done with the apples. A few I peeled, cored, quartered apples and cooked in a wide, shallow pan with sugar and cinnamon till they were tranparent. I will use the quarts of that for pies or topping for cakes and ice cream. Yesterday I made banana struesel muffins and double chocolate zucchini muffins. Mmmmm good! I also made a southern rice chilli and fried green tomatoes. I love to cook and bake as long as someone else eats it. LOL:) I've considered putting some recipes on my blog but recipes are a dime a dozen. If anyone wants a recipe that I use just send me a message and I will be happy to share. No recipe is worth keeping secret. Good recipes are meant to be used and shared with others. Our chickens are laying an egg a day. Since we have 10 chickens that makes 10 eggs a day. They seem to be very happy and doing well. We've gotten a few double yolk eggs which I'm told is good. Happy chickens make good eggs I guess.

Our apple trees have done great this year. So we have a large amount of apples. The big thing I'm doing is apple butter. That's something my kids and family love. Plus it makes great gifts. I make alot of muffins and quick breads for my family so I am also chopping and freezing some for breads and muffins. I've been a week working on apples and probably have about another week to go to have all the apples done and gone. Thank goodness school started cause I couldn't handle apple butter in the kitchen with all the kids running around it.

So it's been awhile. Anyway, it's summer, kids are out of school, it's super hot, not much else going on. My oldest son will be a senior this year in high school, my daughter a junior, and my baby is starting middle school this year. Wow! Where did time go? Right now I'm nursing my daughter from surgery. She had all 4 of her wisdom teeth surgically removed yesterday. She is feeling ok I guess under the circumstances. My son has been working alot his first paid jobs. He's loving it.
