One of the reasons I love Thanksgiving is because it is an annual reminder to count your blessings and be thankful for the life you live and the special people that are a part of it.  Simple gratitude can make the difference between a life filled with joy and one filled with sorrow, for all too often, we are guilty of forgetting just how good we have it.

A tradition my family began last Thanksgiving is one where we each make a turkey having five large feathers.  On these feathers, we take the time to write what we are most thankful for and then decorate the turkey however we'd like.  During dinner, each person then reads aloud what they put on their five feathers and we all express gratitude to one another for the special things in our lives.

Now that the weather has turned quite cool, my skin is starting to feel the effects.  I've noticed that my skin is getting drier by the day and I'm not exactly thrilled with having to slather my entire body with lotion each day either.  On days that I'm so busy I don't know which way is up, the last thing I want to make time for is combating dry, winter skin.

That's why I couldn't have been happier to receive H-E-B's November Beauty Pick of the Month: A Selection of Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash.  With these body washes from Dove, you can clean and deeply moisture your entire body while you shower.

As you may remember reading in my previous posts, I was lucky enough to be chosen as a Maytag Dependable Laundry Mom!  With that designation comes the perk of trying out the new Maytag Bravos XL High-Efficiency Top Loading Washer and Steam Dryer in my own home.

I'm happy to report that I've been using the Maytag Bravos XL pair to clean my family's never-ending supply of dirty clothes for over four months now.  In this final post, I'll speak about my experiences and overall impression of both the Bravos XL and the Maytag brand itself.

I'll also tell you more about the new and improved stain-busting features of the Bravos XL duo and why this is definitely NOT your mama's washer and dryer!
