I finally saw some signs of fall this week. We had a a couple of rainy days and nights, followed by a couple of cool days that began with thick fog! I don’t know about you, but I’m not a fan of driving at night, and I’ve always hated driving in inclement weather!
But driving under inclement weather conditions is a lot safer if you perform proper automobile maintenance and headlight restoration.
October is Headlight Safety Month, so it is the perfect time for drivers to address a key safety issue on America’s roads that rarely comes to light: dim headlight bulbs and hazy headlight lenses, which may lead to reduced visibility.
One solution to this problem is the 3M Headlight Restoration Kit. Available in Pep Boys stores, this kit is designed to restore headlight lenses that are losing clear visibility. This increases the visibility capacity of fogged, yellowed, cloudy or hazy dull looking headlights by improving their performance.
I’ve had my car for 10 years, and it’s a 1999 model. I’ve been able to keep the car in good condition for the most part, but the headlights are definitely hazy!
Here’s an example of a Before and After results of using the 3M Headlight Restoration Kit:
And not only is it effective against those hazy, yellowed headlights, but it is also very easy to use! I usually count on my husband or my to take care of anything having to do with the car, but even I can do use this kit!
Go by your nearest Pep Boys store to pick up this kit and keep your headlights shining bright throughout the fall and winter seasons!
With the coming of the cool fall weather (not to mention, the cold winter ahead), I love to make warm hearty meals like soups! Bertolli has a fantastic line of Meal Soups, Risottos, and Meals that go from the freezer to the stove top, to your table in minutes!
I love Bertolli! Their products smell and taste so fresh! And they are just as good as food from a fine restaurant or something made from scratch!
Earlier this year I tried their Roasted Chicken & Rotini Pasta Soup, and I really enjoyed it, so I was thrilled when I got the opportunity to try some new products from Bertolli! [Read more…]

Have you ever visited Gardenieres? It is a fantastic site featuring great projects and tips for your garden.
Is there a garden project you would like to take on this fall? I checked out the project videos over at Gardenieres, and one of my favorite ideas is to to plant an orchard. In the following video Teena tells you a little bit about the foods in her orchard:
I have always thought it would be great to grow some of our own food in the back yard. When I was a kid, we grew corn and tomatoes in our yard for a little while, and I always had relatives who grew various crops.
Today my dad has some apple trees and pear trees in his yard. And we have a pecan tree in our own back yard. Last year I picked up some pecans from our back yard and used them in my cakes. It would be great to add some apple or pear trees to our own yard. I imagine it would make for some great baking ingredients!
Miracle-Gro has great products to help you out with any gardening project you have in mind! Miracle-Gro® Garden Soil for Trees & Shrubs can help you to grow your own orchard.
Just mix with one part native soil and build a mound in the hole and score roots. Water thoroughly after planting your tree or shrub, then daily until plants are well established. Cover area with mulch. Enriched with Miracle-Gro® Continuous Release Plant Food, the Garden Soil for Trees & Shrubs has all the essential nutrients to promote vigorous blooms, foliage and root growth; and it feeds for up to 3 months.
If you would like to get great gardening tips or chat with other gardeners, check out Miracle-Gro Facebook page.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of No nonsense for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
I love shopping for new clothes and accessories, so I was thrilled when I got the chance to review the No nonsense tights and leggings. No nonsense enables women to update and change out any look by simply adding some stylish, colorful and affordable leg-wear.
My style is very eclectic. I wear just about every color imaginable from pastels to earthy tones. And my style ranges from cutesy and relaxed, to bold and fun, to conversative and chic.
During the fall and winter seasons, I mostly wear sweaters when I go out. Usually I wear them with jeans, but I also wear khakis, corduroy pants, and other slacks. The pair of leggings I received were grey corduroy. I immediately decided they would look great with a sweater. I selected a navy blue sweater (with a white camisole underneath) and a pair of black shoes. Here’s the outfit:
I also recieved a pair of No nonsense tights in the color grey. I was really excited that I recieved this color, because I knew it would go perfect with this new top that I got. The top is heather grey with a black shell and belt. And I put it together with a black skirt and flats.
The tights were also very comfortable. And I must say, I usually buy pantyhose to wear with my dresses and skirts, but I really liked the quality and thickness of these tights, so I think I will definitely purchase a pair of these in black and perhaps some other colors.
No nonsense products are available in food & drug as well as mass retail stores, so it’s never been easier to get the look you want for less!
For more information, check out No nonsense on Facebook. And also take a look at this video featuring Jill Martin, the new No nonsense Brand Ambassador and Emmy Award-winning tv personality and co-author of the New York Times bestselling style guide, “I Have Nothing to Wear!”
