Duck Commander & Gas Monkey Garage Visit


As we were leaving Lego Land we decided to head to Gas Monkey Garage since it was a only a few minutes away. I definitely did not want to miss an opportunity to see Richard Rawlings
As we pulled up, they were filming . The gate was closed but the store was open. We went inside but he did not come out. I did see a quick glimpse of his back side but that was all.

YAY!!!! He finally came out of the back and into the store.  He came out and shook our hand. Frank asked if I can take a picture with him and he said yes. Afterwards Frank and Alex made fun of me saying that I looked as if I had lipstick all over my face because my face got really red. Seriously this man is very handsome. I totally regret not buying a T-Shirt. Everyone at the store was really nice. I'm so glad we stopped by.


Picture post of our trip to Duck Commander-Duck Dynasty.  Unfortunately we did not see anyone from the cast but we did see Korie Robertson in her SUV as she was leaving. We were pulling into the street when she was at the stop sign and I had my camera in my purse:/
Sorry if these pictures are in such a random order. I was having trouble loading them


My son said this huge duck call was on one of their shows. I must have missed this episode.

middle-Physicians Formula
Bottom right- Loreal Magic Finish (white one)







 
In all honesty, I really like the Pond's Luminous Finish BB+ Cream for my face. I have dry areas around my mouth and this really helps without me having to apply extra moisturizer. The Pond's BB+ cream gives me a nice matte finished look without using a finishing powder. It has a really nice smell to it also. This BB+ cream has SPF 15, gives your instant luminous coverage and helps reduce your dark spots after using it for 2 weeks and it wont clog pores. Its easy to use and I prefer to using my blending sponge to apply it. On dark spots, I just dab a little extra more on those areas with my finger. Overall I love my Pond's Luminous Finish BB+ Cream. Thanks Influenster and Pond's for introducing me to this new product.
This product can be found in mass retailers and drug stores for about $9.99

Fried Chicken from Kroger BzzAgent Campaign













I received coupons from BzzAgent and Kroger for free deli chicken, cocoa-cola, and Kroger brand chips.
www.bzzagent.com







Finally heading to Kroger to get my free meal

Thought I was ready to check out but I had the wrong chips

I accidentally grabbed the Private Select Brand chips but the coupon beeped and the clerk told me I needed to get the Kroger Brand:) This size bottle of Coke is perfect because we don't drink much soda. I'm the only one who drinks it when we do buy it. The chips are very good. They have 150 calories per serving.-8g total fat-180mg sodium- 1g sugars and 0g trans fat.


This is a great quick meal to pick up during the week when the day is filled with activities. The chicken is always warm at the deli. Unfortunately my husband was not able to taste the chicken and we had more than half left over. The next day I warmed it up in the oven. I wrapped the chicken in aluminum foil and set the oven at 325 degrees for about 25 minutes. It was still juicy. We are a big fan of Kroger Deli. My husband prefers the baked chicken, my son loves the fried chicken, corn dogs and fries and I love the burritos. Kroger deli makes my busy days easy when it comes to meal time.
