Satin Sale

Hi. I never know how many people read my blog, or even just stumble across it, but I wanted to use it as another avenue to share the Satin Hands Sale I am hosting ...

Mary Kay's Satin Hands Pampering Set, recently revised into the Peach Smoothie formula, contains 1 Peach Smoothie Hand Scrub (exfoliant and cleanser), 1 Extra Emolient Night Cream, and 1 Hand Cream in a cute orange bag. It is regularly $30, but I am offering it on sale right now until May 4th for $20. If you buy two sets, the third set is only $15. Mary Kay is offering a great special to consultants currently, and I wanted to offer a special price to customers, especially as Mother's Day, graduations, weddings, new babies, and all sorts of great things are coming up soon!

Brides, there are many ways I can help make your day easier. Contact me for a free color consult and facial, and tips for those gorgeous wedding photos! Graduates, are you still looking for that perfect job? Let me help you with that professional, polished look for your interviews! Class reunion attendees, need a little help with a fresh look, some slimmer thighs, or younger looking skin? Let me help with a make over, a microdermabrasion treatment, and showing you the new Cellushape product!

Check out all of our new products, and your favorite ones on my personal Mary Kay website, www.marykay.com/sarah_rahija! Thanks, and have a great day!

(when you purchase through my website, make sure to enter the word "blog" in the COMMENTS section, so I know to give the discount - when you pay with a card, I always have to add in the tax and reconcile it personally, so the discount will be added then.)

Eternity Focus

I received a link from my lovely friend Valerie today, announcing the newly available CD for the group Eternity Focus, based out of Lebanon, KS. Now why is this exciting and special to me?? Well, when these girls were very small, Valerie and I, along with two of our friends, Dara and Amber, had a singing group called SAVeD, and we traveled all over the area singing at community functions, county fairs, churches, ... We met this family during that time, and they were as cute as could be. We watched them sing and dance to all of our songs, and it was precious! We watched them grow and we performed at some of the same events. I saw them perform at Gaylord, KS, for Watermelon Day in September, and couldn't believe my eyes (and ears!). It was so precious watching them, on the same stage we were about 10 years ago, and listen to Erin sing along with them. As we were listening to their sound clips from their new CD, Avery was singing and patting her leg in time with the music. What a precious connection we have in the joy of worshiping our Savior!

If you have a minute, check out Eternity Focus at their website and listen to them for a bit!

Phew!

Well, I was getting a bit worried that I was not going to be able to continue blogging, as Blogger switched over to the "new" system, and I needed a Google account to login, but I got the issue taken care of, and it only took me a minute! Phew! You're all saved and I'm sure, relieved, to know that I will be able to carry on the blogging of the exciting life and times of the Rahija family, and other related people/issues! Carry on, carry on!

Packing in Reverse

We are here!

Settled? No.

Living without feeling cramped, despite the fact that half of our things are still in boxes around us? YES!

We are loving life in Lawrence, and the fact that we do not have to drive for 15+ minutes to do anything! We are close to friends, our "family", David's job, and everything else we do! We are partially throuth unpacking, and each time we make another empty box, we do a little "woo hoo" dance around here! This morning, Rachel and Lisa came to take our empty boxes, and there were lots of them! The kitchen is done, Erin's art area is done (with two whole kitchen cabinets all to herself!), Erin's room is unpacked and is a beautiful princess castle, thanks to both grandmas, Aunt Krista, the grandpas, and Daddy. The castle walls are precious, and her window seat is a dream come true for her. We still have to put up the canopy and chair rail, hang the clock, and make a picture line (much like a clothes line, where she can clothespin her creations up without pushpins or clips that little sister might like to eat), but she is really enjoying her castle each day, her electric keyboard, and dressing up like a princess! The rest we are unearthing bit by bit, one box at a time. I usually get through 5-8 boxes a day, and although that is slow, I am sorting, throwing away/recycling/freecycling, and organizing as I go, instead of having to do that three years down the road, like we did the last time we moved.

Anyway, I just wanted to share that we are becoming a part of Lawrence now, and feel at home here. We love our home, our neighborhood, and our town. May God use our home for His purpose!
