🖤🧡BONAPARTE FALLS APART by Margery Cuyler 🖤Halloween is almost here! Time to get to the library and check out your Halloween books before they’re all snatched up! (Or you can purchase some on Amazon and start your own Halloween book collection!) 🧡This week, I’m talking about our family’s favorite Halloween books and fun activities to complement each book. All books are available on Amazon—and at some libraries. 🖤First— ‘Bonaparte Falls Apart!” Bonaparte is a skeleton and he’s falling apart and it’s shaking him up! 🧡School is starting and Bonaparte doesn’t want to be teased. What’s to be done? 🖤Well, it’s time to bone up for the first day of school with his new friend, Mandible. 🧡A must-read for kids of all ages—and older kids will understand all the puns throughout the book. 🖤Included are 2 fun skeleton activities we did—making skeleton cupcakes and a fun science skeleton activity of putting together a skeleton & naming all the bones. 🖤🧡Supplies, directions, and all the nitty-gritty details here: link in bio

❤️WHY SUGAR SCRUBS? 💙Ever wonder why sugar

❤️WHY SUGAR SCRUBS? 💙Ever wonder why sugar scrubs are so great for your health and skin? 💚Here are a few reasons why (more in the post) *💜Sugar scrubs exfoliate dead skin cells that build up, mix with bacteria and clog the pores. When that happens—hello blackheads and breakouts! *🧡Dead skin buildup can cause your complexion to look dull and blotchy. Sugar scrubs trigger blood flow and make the skin glow! * 💙When you’re young—use scrubs 2-3x per week. When you get old (like me)—use them 1x a week. When you’re young you have skin turnover more often but it slows down with age. 🖤Last—it’s almost Halloween—throw a Sugar Scrub party for your teenage daughters/granddaughters. This recipe is easy to follow, and in the post, I have all the reasons why you need to use a scrub. 💚Plus—teen girls LOVE anything that keeps their skin healthy and glowing! 💜No teenage girls or granddaughters?
