I can't remember what we did at our wedding because it was a million years ago. We gave everyone in the wedding party Swiss Army Cards which promptly became useless a week after our wedding when 9/11 caused them to become illegal on planes. (I still have mine, sans knife.)
I think we may have prepared welcome bags at the hotel with, like, bottled water and maps in them? Since I got married before everyone carried Google Maps around in their pockets.
[eta: I will say, I have never received anything in a wedding favor bag that was anywhere NEAR as pointless and annoying as what passes for favors at kids parties. DOWN WITH TINY POINTY PLASTIC THINGS! PENCILS AND ORANGES FOR ALL! YES I AM THAT MOM!]

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I am not down with party favor bags at kids' parties, either. I am giving you cake and more than likely, a craft and other food. I am not giving you a present as well. Piss off. And no - I don't have organic juice. Red dye Kool-Aid, Bucky. Drink it and love it.

I'm suddenly wishing I made Avengers favor bags for the wedding.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I am amused. On the inside. Where the Winter Soldier would chortle too.
Two things, Epsom salts lotion isn't as laughable as I thought when I bought it. The Epsom salt soak in a mug isn't helping miraculously with the splinter in my knuckle though. A lot of my life revolves around Epsom.

I have a craft to make a snowman vase out of Epsom salts!

I worship at the altar of Epsom salts. And coconut oil. And bone broth.
Man, my needs are all about comfort.

Timelies all!
Ugh, I have this tickle in my throat that is making me cough a lot. I think I'm going to have to make a supermarket run for cough syrup.

brenda,
Epsoms salts...long, loungy baths while watching something on the computer. I use a step stool and a Mary Kay mirror to accomplish this.
Coconut oil...Pretty much everything at the moment. I made my own toothpaste, which I love. Put it in sauces. Fry with it. Use it around my eyes as a nighttime cream. (seriously reduced the crows feet, it has) Moisturize my hands.
Here is a nifty list of things to do with coconut oil.
Bone broth...I've always been a champion soup maker. It's a bit of a specialty. NOW? Off the chart flavor and nutrition. I cook up two batches from a couple of chicken carcasses and veg. Then, I take the filtered out bits, which have cooked for approximately 48 hours, such that the bones crumble when touched. I puree the mixture to make a soup thickener and put some in Cagney's food. By this stage, it is roughly free food.
eta: Todd and I had a brief conversation today about bone broth which featured the phrase 'chicken soup on steroids' as a curative. It's soooo warming and nourishing. I find a cup in the morning sets me up for the day.
In the last few days, I've made a potato and roasted garlic soup that is of the yum. Also, a cream of pumpkin soup that is equally delish...and really WAS free food as I was given the pumpkin.
