Birchbox & Baptism

During the past two months, I have been receiving one of the most excitingly mysterious packages ever! Let me introduce you to:

Thanks to this lovely lady blogger, Michelle, I was introduced to this wonderful monthly beauty subscription. For just $10 a month you can get a box full of amazing beauty samples for women (there is also a men's Birchbox option). With every box comes about 5-6 different samples ranging from make-up to lotions to hair products, etc. I have become absolutely OBSESSED! I have been telling all of my lady friends, and they all agree that for $10 a month, it is SO worth it. And if you absolutely cannot live without more of whatever sample you received then you can go to Birchbox and order a full size container of the product. So here I am to share with you 4 of my favorite samples I have received so far from both boxes.

From my October box:

1. Mox Botanicals Lip Butter

Straight from Oregon, this wonderful little lip sample is made with shea butter and jojoba. It makes your lips soft, smooth, and this Birchbox exclusive comes in a lovely pomegranate & fig flavor. This full size item is $16.













2. twistband™

In my October Birchbox I got just one of these fantastic hair ties, but for $10 you can get this lovely 6-pack, or a different color collection of them, for $18 you can get a 12-pack, and for $26, you can get a sampler set of 3 different hair tie collections and a 3 pack of twistband™ headbands. Yesterday I bought the sampler set and I cannot wait for them to come! These hair ties are made of high-quality, super soft, snag-free elastics, and when not worn in your hair it looks just as cute on your arm as well. They also don't leave any annoying crimps in your hair!

I will never got back to a regular hair tie again! I even went to the twistband™ site, and it works just like Birchbox! Buy a subscription, and get new twistband™ products every month for 3, 6, or 12 months!






From my November box:

3. Shea Terra Organics Whipped Shea Butter Body Crème

This little 1 oz. container is made with sustainably sourced African shea butter. Basically it is heaven in a bottle for dry, cracked, wintery hands. Super rich and creamy, this specific bottle also smells like bananas! Bananas & Baobabs is the name of this little whipped tub of heaven and for just $18 you can get a 19 oz. jar. No lie, this is going on my Christmas list NOW! What a deal!





4. ModelCo FIBRE LASHXTEND Lengthening Mascara

Last, but certainly NOT least, my all-time favorite "sample" from Birchbox yet. I quoted sample, because you obviously can't make a sample size of a mascara (at least I don't think you can, but you probably can, but that's okay because I am sososo thankful for this) so Birchbox sent a full size tube of mascara in this month's Birchbox and I am forever grateful because to buy a new tube of this would run you $24. I have promised myself to use this beaut a little as possible, to save it for only the most special occasions because I can not and may never justify buying a $24 bottle of mascara, no matter how wonderful it is. This bad boy's description starts out "Falsies without the fuss". In the formula are tiny lash-extending fibers to give you a wonderfully lengthy fringe. It also has a little mirror on the tube so you can use it on the go, even if I most likely will not.


I adore Birchbox. I adore make-up and beauty products, so for just $10, I can justify this wonderful subscription, especially if I am going to get a $24 bottle of mascara along with 4 other wonderful product samples. I am thankful for Birchbox this season.

I am also thankful for Jesus. This past Sunday I made a huge step in my life. I got baptized. Like most people, I was baptized as an infant, and unlike most people I was baptized again at about 6 years old. Both of those baptisms were decisions made by my parents, which I am forever grateful for, but this time I made the decision for myself. When I was younger, I didn't understand Jesus' story and what he did for me that day on the cross. I just thought getting dunked in a pool was cool, and just agreed with whatever the Pastor told me because I thought it was the right thing to do. This time I knew it was right because I felt it was right. I've been going to a church that was right for me, that I have loved since the first time I walked through the doors. Liquid Church is a contemporary Christian church that accepts anyone no matter what your past. Learning Jesus' story made it so much easier for me to tell mine. I knew I would be accepted there, and it was extremely overwhelming, yet exhilarating to take that step. I shared my story, Pastor Tom said some wonderful things about me, and then he and Pastor Dave, with their hands in mine, baptized me in the Holy Hot Tub in front of the whole congregation  I heard a massive applause accepting me and my story, and then saw a flash of a camera take my picture.

Pastor Dave, me and Pastor Tom

It is a keepsake I will have forever of the amazing step I took in my life. I am so thankful for all of the amazing people over at Liquid Church, and accepting me and my story. 

In a few days I'll receive a link to the service that was recorded that day, so if anyone is interested, I will post it here for you to view. Liquid Church has LIVE online services every Sunday for anyone interested or looking for a new church who isn't living in the NJ area. All are accepted.

God Bless,

Toyota Love

This past Monday, 8/27/2012, I said goodbye to my old green '95 Mercury Sable. Thankfully this is not because it broke down and died, but because my father and I went to the Toyota dealership near us and got me a lovely new-to-me '07 Toyota Corolla.

Out with the old. In with the new!

The new color: Sandy Beach. It just sounds comforting and relaxing, not something to stress about. Not that green is a stressful color, but my Sable was an old car. He didn't have a lot of miles for a '95, but he wasn't very reliable, and not so good on gas either. It was just time for me to get a new one. My father and I decided it would be best to do it now, rather than wait for the Sable to one day die on me and leave me car-less all of a sudden. 

Enter my lovely new-to-me Sandy Beach Corolla. We got her the Saturday before we got rid of the Sable. I love her. She has air (the Sable didn't), she's great on gas (35 mpg highway), and she's beautiful. Of course, she's also reliable, which is even better! I love her. I'm addicted to driving her. I find any excuse to go somewhere just so I can take her for a spin.

I miss the Sable a bit. He got me from A to B, but I started to just get sick of him towards the end. He was a boat, and didn't have air, and was just not nice to look at. His last act though was a generous one. He got me an extra $800 off the Corolla when we traded him in, which was definitely unexpected, but very helpful. Joshua and I drove him over to Toyota the Monday after we got the Corolla. It wasn't emotional. It was exciting. I loved him, but I love the Corolla so much more, and I am excited to have moved up in the world of automobiles.

I am so proud to be the owner of a beautiful 2007 Toyota Corolla, and because Toyota's are known to be so reliable, I am absolutely so excited and so thrilled to have her for a while. I'll keep her for as long as she'll last me.

2-Ingredient Banana Pancakes!

While perusing the blog of a good friend of mine, I found a wonderfully delicious and easy recipe for banana pancakes! Go check out her blog, Whatever I Want, here and check out the blog where she found the recipe, Blogilates, here! I literally just made them this morning, and could NOT wait to blog about it that I just had to do it NOW!

All you need are 2 simple ingredients, that you probably already have right now:

1 large banana

2 eggs

You'll also need:

a bowl

a whisk

cooking spray

a griddle/griddle pan

Now, onto the creating and cooking of a fantastically simple AND healthy breakfast!

Step 1: Add the two ingredients to a bowl, and mash them up!

To mash them up, I used a fork before whisking:

Step 2: After the ingredients are mashed up, use a whisk to make them frothy and light.

If there are some chunks of banana left that won't mix in
just let them be! That's okay!

Step 3: Once the mixture is ready, spray your griddle/griddle pan with cooking spray (or whatever non-stick oil you prefer to use), and put your griddle on medium heat and wait for it to get hot! That step is very important! They pancakes cook quickly if you let the pan get up to temperature, and then there won't be any wasted pancakes!

Step 4: Now that your griddle/griddle pan is nice and hot you can go ahead and ladle the batter onto it, and in 20-30 seconds the first side should brown nicely and be ready to flip!

20-30 seconds later...

brown deliciousness!

Step 5: Once the other side is done, put them on a plate, and PRESTO! You're done!

Don't wait to dig in to these yummy, banana lovelies! They're fluffy, moist, and über healthy! They taste like bananas (obviously!), but they don't taste like an omelette, which I'm sure is what you would expect, but it doesn't! 

And look! Here's a nutritional chart straight from the Blogilates website!

Look at all that wonderful protein! And under 250 calories! How fantastic?!

Not only are those nutritional facts so amazing, this recipe is also gluten-free, dairy-free, and all natural since there are no processed ingredients!

Healthy and delicious! It is possible people!

Go make these for breakfast RIGHT NOW and enter a Banana Healthy Heaven! Enjoy!

Crafty Daddy

I could not help but share this wonderful tip that I discovered the other morning.  When pouring myself a glass of milk, I noticed some sparkling letter stickers on top of the coffee pot. The coffee pot that only my father uses. They spelled out MEDS. I couldn't help but think "How clever?!". My daddy left himself a reminder on the coffee pot so that he doesn't forget to take his medicine every morning. Looks like I got my crafty side from daddy. Here's a picture to show exactly what he did:

So smart!

I just could not help bragging about my incredibly clever father. So smart.

FOUND MY CAMERA

I finally found my beloved Olympus Tough TG-310! And it was in the most obviously hidden spot... my car! Here's the story:

Two days ago I was cleaning my car out (because HOPEFULLY Daddy and I will be going car hunting on Saturday!) and as I was reaching over my bench seat to get to the old water bottles on the floor of my backseat, I spotted the oh so familiar camera case. It was in the pocket behind my front passenger seat! It has been with me this WHOLE time! I purchased it back in March after falling in love with my cousins on our Florida vacation because this little gem is waterproof to 10ft AND shockproof to 5 ft. 

Of course, with my luck, I "lost" it all summer and did not get a chance to use it for the coolest feature I bought it for. I am not dwelling though, because luckily it is still August, and there is still some summer left! My cousins are down this week, and we have a nice little lake over by grandma's house where we will probably hang out today, so I'm excited to get some use out of this baby.

So happy!

Don't mind the terrible picture above. I took that with my phone, because I obviously couldn't with the Olympus.

ALSO, the discovering of my camera could not have come at a better time! I have the most AMAZING idea for a new project I am going to start on right away, but it is a secret! I will be able to document every part of it with my Olympus now, instead of my phone, so the pictures will be 10x better, and it'll be a lot easier on my part! It might take me a while to actually finish said project, because it is a pretty big project, but I am confident that I will pull it off wonderfully. 

Here's hoping! Wish me luck!

Luscious!

Let's Talk LUSH, but before I begin, I guess I should say that LUSH did not ask me to write this post, nor will I receive any sort of payment for doing so. I just LOVE LUSH and have been meaning to brag about them for quite some time now! 

Now, where was I? Oh yes! LUSH! If you haven't heard of this company or any of their products yet, then you MUST go to their website here and check it out. All of the products I have purchased and used (except for one) I have absolutely adored! 

At LUSH they believe in creating fresh, organic products with only fresh and organic ingredients. They hand make every single item, and they'll even tell you when it was made when you purchase the item (either in the store, or when you receive the product if you made an online purchase) to ensure freshness! They never test on animals, nor do they purchase ingredients that were tested on animals, and all of the ingredients are vegetarian.

Uhh, can you say AMAZING? Seriously, I have never been more impressed with the company. Just that information alone made me fall in love with them, and after trying some of their products, I knew it was true love.

Now let me tell you about a few:


1. Fresh Farmacy $9.75/3.5oz. wedge: (No, that is not spelled incorrectly, that IS the name of the product)
  <--- That right there is my new best friend. My life savor. The reason I wake up in the morning. Made with calamine powder, tea tree oil, lavender oil, and other wonderful ingredients, this face wash is my saving grace. After trying countless products to clear up my face of all the acne, this is the only thing to really do the trick. Not only has my face cleared up, it also leaves my skin wonderfully smooth and feeling fresh. Not to mention it smells wonderful. Every morning I just dampen my face and the bar with warm water and I rub it all over until I'm covered in the wonderful wash. Then with my hands I massage it in for about 30-60 seconds until I'm ready to rinse. After rinsing I pat my face with a towel, and I instantly feel fresh and clean. My face is über greasy, and after my morning wash, I don't feel greasy anymore, but I also don't feel uncomfortably dry. When they make Fresh Farmacy over at LUSH, they make it in giant wheels, kind of like cheese.
 <--- Like that! When you order it online, you get a pre-cut 3.5 oz wedge, like the pictures show. If you go to a LUSH store, you may be able to get one bigger, but you'd end up paying more. That's because in the store they just chop up the "wheel" into different sizes, weigh them, and price them., whereas on the website, the price is the same because they're making specific cuts to make the online purchase easier. No matter what though, it is worth every penny! I first started using the product in May, and today I ordered my second bar because I am now JUST down to my last little bit of face wash. I love it!


2. Grease Lightning $12.95/1.5oz. bottle
 <--- This guy is the spot treatment I have been using, you can also use to cover your t-zone (if you're face is really greasy) and it sops up all the grease quite nicely. I don't use it too often on my t-zone though, because it dries out my skin, so I usually only use it on stubborn acne spots. It is a little pricey, but just like Fresh Farmacy, Grease Lightning is totally worth every penny. A few organic ingredients include grape juice, sea water, and organic aloe vera extract. 

This is a picture of the sticker on my bottle of Grease Lightning.

One of the really cool features I like about LUSH, I found when this guy came in the mail. On the bottle was a sticker with a cartoon picture of the LUSH employee, Susan, that made this product, the date when it was made, and the Best Before date. I almost felt like I knew Susan when this product came, and I felt even more thankful because of the way they personalized the product. You can tell they really do think about their customers, and want to make a personal connection with them. I felt like I almost knew Susan. And it turns out this was made 2 days before my birthday, as if it was MADE for me! THANKS SUSAN!









3. Stepping Stone $3.95/2.3oz. bar
 <--- Now I don't know about you, but my feet aren't the prettiest parts of my body, so this is where Stepping Stone steps in (see what I did there?) to save the day! Made up if jojoba oil, lemon oil, pumice, and cocoa butter, just to name a few wonderful ingredients, this pumice stone not only makes my feet feel smooth, but it also makes them smell wonderful! Just make sure not to drop it in the water, or else say goodbye to this little guy. He'll dissolve in a matter of minutes! All you gotta do is dampen your feet, and then scrub away OUTSIDE of the water. This product doesn't last very long either, because it tends to fall apart a bit easily, so good thing it is only $4! I also just purchased another one of these today!


4. Fair Trade Foot Lotion $22.95/7.9oz. tub
 <--- After I've scrubbed my feet with Stepping Stone, I use this deliciously smelling lotion, and it just ties my at home spa day together. I don't own a whole tub of this though. When I purchased the Fresh Farmacy and Stepping Stone at the LUSH store in AC, the sales girl gave me this lovely little lotion as a sample (Did I forget to mention you get a sample with very purchase, whether it is online or in store. Just another reason to LOVE LUSH!). Because I only have a little sample, I use this a LITTLE AS POSSIBLE because I love it so very much. The mix of peppermint, fair trade cocoa butter, and almond oil make this foot lotion smell just delicious. Not to mention it has been so very easy for me to keep this sample lasting as long as I have (remember I got this in May) because ye ol' phrase "a little goes a long way" definitely refers to the Fair Trade Foot Lotion. It relieves aches and pains after a long day at work, AND the sweet sales girl who have me this sample also told me it isn't just for feet. Put it wherever you feel sore, and it'll to the trick! Of course, since I'm trying to save every last drop of this heavenly lotion, I can't say I've done so.


5. Honey I Washed The Kids Soap $7.95/3.5oz. block
 Another sample I have received from LUSH (this time with an online order) was the Honey I Washed The Kids Soap. Some of the ingredients in this body soap are honey water, beeswax, coconut oil, and rapeseed oil, which really make this soap smell irresistibly good. Like honey and caramel had a baby and BAM it became this fantastic soap. It can be used for your hands next to the sink, or for your entire body in the shower. I used it for my hands only because I got a small sample that probably would have been wasted in one shot if I used it for my whole body, although it was very tempting. I will be buying a full sized portion of this very soon. Did I mention it is one of LUSH's best-selling soaps. Need I say more?


6. Golden Slumbers Bath Bomb $6.35/6.3oz. bomb
Ahhh, bath bombs. Never will I ever again take another bath without one of these beauties joining me. Whether it is Golden Slumbers here or another one of LUSH's 31 bath bombs, I will never have a boring bath ever again. All you do is fill the bath to your liking, throw in one of the bombs, and settle in for a relaxing, fragrant, and slow experience. This one has lavender oil, lavender sprigs, chamomile oil, and golden lustre in it. I was actually shocked to see actual lavender sprigs popping out and into my bath as the bomb slowly dissolved. I knew LUSH was all about fresh and organic, but this was kicking it up a notch. The golden lustre made me feel like a queen in the bath, and all the lavender and chamomile made me so ready to curl up in bed for a long night of Golden Slumbers. The wonderfully relaxing experience makes me excited for my next bath bomb adventure. The only problem? Which one to choose next?


7. Shimmy Shimmy $6.95/1oz. bar
<--- This right here is the ONLY product I have very much disliked so far in my LUSH adventures. The description says: Solid body lotion with a hint of shimmer. Why did I italicize hint, you ask? Because that is a severe understatement. Along with fair trade cocoa butter, shea butter, and clary sage oil, this lotion bar is PACKED with pink glitter. When I used it on my legs, the lotion part of it was interesting with the way you had to apply it. You need to warm the bar in your hands so that it'll start to melt and then rub it on your legs. It smelled wonderful, but after all is said and done, my legs looked like the tooth fairy threw up on my hands and legs. Of course, silly me, then decided to put jeans on afterwards, and the glitter transferred all over the inside of my pants. I was a glittery mess! The smell, like I said, was sweet and pleasant, but I would not use this again. I gave the rest of the bar to my sister, who is crazy for glitter, and would probably get more use out of it than I. Thank goodness it cleaned off easily.




Well, there you have it! All of the LUSH products I have used and loved (or not so much). Just one more thing before I'm completely finished with this topic. Whenever you purchase something from LUSH, in the store or online, you get this great catalogue, which looks more like a newspaper, called LUSH TIMES that tells you all about the great products. Not only that, but the employees of LUSH also star in it, telling you their favorite products, and what's new to try out! If you don't want to purchase something just yet, but would like a look at the catalogue  you can sign up for a free subscription on the LUSH website. Just look for the link in the top left of the page that says LUSH catalogue.

They just came out with a make-up line this past month or so, which I have been dying to try out. It is a little pricey though, so it'll take some convincing myself to do so. Maybe if I ever do, you'll see a post about that in the future. ;)

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful fathers out there, and especially to my own father. To show him just how much I appreciate him, as you already know, I decided to get my craft on and make him three, fairly simple projects. Like I stated in my last blog, I found them on Pinterest from a 100 gifts list that was compiled from many different blogs. I made a mustache mug, a vinyl record bowl, and a necktie eyeglasses case. I'll start with the necktie eyeglasses case, or as I like to call it...

Now you've gotta bear with me for this blog, because I seem to have lost my camera, so I've been using my phone for all of these pictures, which honestly sucks, BUT I promised to document and post all of the father's day crafts, and I was not going to break it. So here we go...

First I took a tie that I found at TJ Maxx for pretty cheap, and I cut it 17" from the point:

Like my pretty floral bed sheets. :P

Don't mind the casual atmosphere, I had to hide out in my room to do this, and oh hey, there's my kindle on the blog where I found the idea for the necktie eyeglasses case! :P So anyway, I cut the tie, and then needed to remove some stitching that would have got in the way of the project, like that label you can see in the picture. After doing this, it just so happened to open up the whole tie, so I needed to close it back up using a wonderfully ingenious tool:

Liquid Stitch for "Seamless Sewing"

How awesome is that?! So I stitched it back together using my new best friend, and let it dry for a few minutes before moving on (the bottle says half an hour, but I got impatient, and it worked out just fine). After this, I folded the top part over just a few inched and sewed that in place (with needle and thread):

I am not a great sewer (I feel like that's the wrong term... hmm...), so I probably should have used the Liquid Stitch, but I wasn't sure if it would hold all the folds once the project was done, since all of the layers became thicker and thicker as I went. So once I finished sewing over the fold, I then folded over the rest of the tie until the bottom reached the bottom of the   long seam running down the back of the tie. Hmm... hopefully the next picture will help with that awful explanation:

Helpful?

After I found where I wanted it to sit, I started to sew the sides, while being careful not to sew the pouch where the glasses/anything else will go. Again, my sewing job is NOT pretty. After I finished and showed my little sister (who took a couple fashion classes in high school), she looked horrified, and then told me I should have sewn it to hid the stitching, and then she tried to explain to me how to do that, while my face reflected more and more confusion. OH WELL, next time she can do the sewing if I can't use my Liquid Stitch. After my horrendous sewing was done, I added Velcro:

I added the softer side to the top, so not to scratch the glasses/anything else that goes in, and after lining up where that would fold over, I added the rougher side to the bottom.

TA DA!

NEXT!

This was SUPER simple, and oh so rewarding. First you take a record that will not be missed (because it will not be playable once all is said and done, I must put this for people out there who are not very bright - like my sister who, YES, did as that question). I asked my dad for one of his that he doesn't mind me ruining and he gave me:

Rod Stewart Foot Loose & Fancy Free

This worked out quite well for me, because I wanted something with a cool middle design on the record to add to the bowl. This one had a nice palm tree scene on it, so I was pleased. So, to start you must preheat your oven to 200 degrees F. Preheating is very necessary for this project. After that go fetch a cookie sheet and a metal bowl (that it about the size that you wanna end up with for your bowl).

Set them up like so. Wait for your oven to heat up, then place the items into your oven for about 8 to 10 min. You want the vinyl to get nice and soft so that it'll be easy to work with. 

Now, because I suck I didn't take a picture of what the record looks like on the bowl after the 8 to 10 min. have passed, because the next step needs to happen almost immediately, so I was kind of in a rush. Whoops. So use your imagination and imagine the record looks a bit warped on top of the bowl, and then follow the next direction. 

After the 8 to 10 min. are up, check the record (using an oven mit) to make sure it is flimsy enough to mold. If it is, take everything out (the bowl and cookie sheet are also hot, along with the record, so be careful). Here is where things get a bit tricky, and where I thank goodness Joshua was with me this day, or else I would've been in a bind while trying to do this alone. Take the flimsy record off the bowl, and have a friend flip the bowl, then put the record in the bowl so you can really get it to take shape and make cool ripples, like this:

cool right?!

This needs to happen pretty quickly, because the record will harden quickly. If it does to the point where it isn't molding without possibly breakage, then place it back in the oven for a few minutes, and try again. I had to do this at least twice, hence the lack of picture.

Now we've got a cool new bowl!

NEXT!

THIS was my all time favorite father's day craft. I had so much fun with this, and I'm not even all that artistically talented. 

To start I found a mug at Walmart for about $3. It is porcelain or ceramic, I'm not really sure to be quite honest. Anyway, I found the mug at Walmart, and I went online to find a mustache stencil (because I can't draw free hand to save my life) and found one I really liked and taped it to the mug:

I then traced this with a fine tip, black Sharpie marker/pen.

I then traced over this with a pebeo porcelain gel pen (which I found a Michael's).

After doing this, I opened up my pebeo porcelain gel (also found at Michael's) in the same exact color as the pen, and started to color in the mustache (which I had a super, awesome, fun time with!).

This is just one coat. Keep going until you get it how you like it.

It took a little while to get it completely covered, and Joshua kept me company, but I feel he may have gotten bored at times, because while I wasn't paying attention he decided to get camera happy and snap candid shots of me. And a 3 minute video, while I was obliviously having a conversation with him and my brother, which I am not posting.

I only liked this one, and I'm still not sure if I do. And yet here it is.

Now after you've scolded your boyfriend, and completed the painting to your liking read the directions on your bottle of gel stain. Mine said to let it air dry for 24 hours before baking at 300 degrees F for 35 min.

Done painting! Now you might see a slight different in size from the print-out to the painting. That is because I was slowly becoming a perfectionist during that time, so when I would accidentally paint outside my tracing, I would try and even it out on both sides. So instead of long and thin, we have short and thick. Oh well, I am still very proud if it for my first mug painting. 

So, since I had to wait 24 hours until baking, that meant I had to hide it somewhere, and since my room is a disaster area, Joshua and I brought it to his house. After the 24 hours were up, and after we both got out of work and back to his house, we whipped out his toaster oven, set it to 300 degrees F, let it warm up a bit, and set the microwave timer for 35 min.

Almost there!

After it was done, I took it out (with an oven mit!) and set it down on a pot holder on the counter to cool. After it was cool I checked the mug over and it was perfect, and while doing so I found a neat little piece of information that could have been quite terrible, if the directions on my bottle of pebeo required a higer level of heat for cooking. It said "OVEN SAFE UP TO 450 DEGREES". Well thank goodness I only needed it to be 300 degrees. I guess yesterday was my lucky day.

Now that my dad has received all of his wonderful new gifts, I am thrilled to say that he loves them! I had taken pictures of him with all three items, but my phone SUCKS and never saved the pictures. I would take new ones, but he's outside working on the house. He's repainting our shutters! The color is "Cherry Tart" by Behr. I'm pretty excited for the new change. 

That's all for today! 

Happy Father's Day!
