Graham Cracker Eclair Pudding Marksville Style

You will need a box of graham crackers
2 packages for vanilla instant pudding (we used french vanilla)
3 1/2 cups of milk
1 12 oz tub of Cool Whip
1 can of milk chocolate frosting

You will need a 9 by 13 pan, bowl, whisk, and spatula.

Mix 2 packages of vanilla instant pudding with 3 1/2 cups of milk  in bowl with whisk then fold in cool whip with spatula.

While this is setting put a layer of graham crackers in the glass pan. Add half of the pudding mixture, another layer of graham crackers, then the rest of the pudding mixture, then the last layer of graham crackers.

Stick your chocolate frosting in the microwave and in small increments cook until it is pourable. I stir mine before pouring over graham cracker top. After you have spread the chocolate evenly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Cut and serve, can be sprinkled with powdered sugar if you like.

Wild Sweet Nibs

Love sweet nibs and these sweet nibs are sweet. Other nibs I have tried in the past were just bitter and unless you mixed them into recipes they weren't that good, but these Nibs are delicious.

I was also sent some wild chocolate that I mixed up with other ingredients for homemade hot chocolate. Yummy!

Sweet Nibs are a great item to add to your baking supplies and while you are at it you can snack on a handful while preparing your recipes.

Wild Foods has a whole bunch of vegan, non GMO, Fair trade items to choose from.




You can find Wild Sweet Nibs here and Wild Chocolate here.

Sonic Skin Care System

Today I would like to tell you about this nice Sonic Skincare System from Bright Therapy. This is much different then my other two skin care systems as it has a few extra heads that are new to me. This system does need 2 AA batteries in order to run which are not included.

Personally I like my rechargeable system better but this one is great for when there is no power or you are on vacation. I like that this one has a brush for men to use. As soon as my husband shaves I am going to have him give it a whirl and let me know how he likes it.

You get five heads soft, medium, and firm brush, sponge, & Massage. The newest one and one I love the best is the hydration or sponge head because I use this to apply my face serums and it works great.

You can find this Sonic Skin Care System on Amazon.

Calming Ocean Waves

I have never personally been to the ocean and it is on my bucket list to do so sometime before I leave this earth, but until then my sister send me pictures when she visits the ocean and I can listen to Calming Ocean Waves when I am feeling stressed out.

I can listen to this while I am doing yoga, meditating, and even trying to get to sleep. Very soothing. This would even be great for children having a hard time getting to sleep. This is 60 minutes long which means it is long enough for pretty much anyone to fall asleep too. A new favorite to my relaxation CD's.

You can find Calming Ocean Waves on Amazon.



REST AND RELAX TO THE SOUND OF SOOTHING OCEAN WAVES Do you love the sound of the ocean? Do you feel calmed by hearing waves gently break on the shoreline? This CD will allow you to bring these soothing sounds and their relaxing effects into your home. 

Whether you are unwinding after a stressful day or needing assistance falling asleep at night, this CD can help.

Enjoy this hour-long ocean track without the distraction of big crashing waves and squawking seagulls. All you will hear is ocean waves breaking gently onto a sandy beach.

This CD is 60-minutes of continuous, relaxing ocean waves that will help you relax and sleep.

Peppermint Essential Oil

In our home Peppermint Essential oil is mainly used for headaches and I could have used this yesterday but because I was feeling so much stress I didn't even think about it.

Here I am today pretty much headache free just feeling a little bit of residual stress from yesterday other than that I am feeling well. I can't fix things that are beyond my control.

Another use for peppermint essential oil is to be a drop behind your pet's neck, helps keep fleas away and makes them smell awesome. We also put a few drops in our candle wax for scented candles as well as in our Oil Diffuser for a fresh scent in the air.

I am use to bottles having droppers or just be open mouthed but I really like how this one has a little rubber piece that lets a few drops out at a time. I don't have to measure anymore and can just tip and drop.
