Recommender Pam

Hi, I’m Pam! I’m a wife, mom of 4, nanny to 12 grands, a lifelong learner, problem solver, and someone who loves finding beauty or purpose in unexpected places. I work in higher education and genuinely love what I do. My family, faith, and church community are a big part of my life, and I also love fashion, makeup, decorating, and finding a really great bargain. I've found new freedoms as I’ve gotten older in realizing that I don’t have to dress or decorate according to someone else’s rules. If I love it, it works. That might mean breaking a few “rules,” or choosing things simply because they make me smile. I think I’ve gotten better at choosing what brings me joy and I’m looking forward to sharing some of those favorite finds with you!

Pam’s Recommendations

  • Wonderskin Lip Oil

    Wonderskin Lip Oil

    This stuff is liquid gold. I'm a lipstick girl because my entire face is pretty much the same color. I love this for a natural look. It actually gives my lips a natural pretty color and I don't have to wear a heavy lippie. No feathering or transferring! True magic. Where has this been all my life.

  • TYLER Glamorous Laundry Wash Detergent, Diva

    TYLER Glamorous Laundry Wash Detergent, Diva

    Someone always says what perfume are you wearing! Men and women alike! It isexpensive for laundry detergent but my secret is to add this little bottle to a big bottle of free and clear detergent. Still smells great, cleans my clothes and I literally smell like I'm wearing expensive cologne when I'm just washing my clothes. PS colognes are migraine triggers for me so this is worth the splurge.

  • ANRABESS Womens Wide Leg Palazzo Pants with Pockets

    Womens Wide Leg Palazzo Pants with Pockets

    These pants are perfect! Dress them up or dress them down. Comfy and flattering on so many body types. Short girl friendly but my tall friends also love them. I've got two colors and will be ordering more.

  • SexyHair Style Frenzy Matte Texturizing Paste

    SexyHair Style Frenzy Matte Texturizing Paste

    A little of this makes a big impact. Great for texturing and adding some volume. Just a little tossle and you can really shape your hair into style. I've used it when I've had long or shorter styles. I always have this on hand.

  • Aquaphor Healing Balm Stick, Skin Protectant

    Aquaphor Healing Balm Stick, Skin Protectant

    Cracked heels don't want to see this coming, keep it by my beside. Also great for a multitude of other skin issues. Keep one in my purse too.

  • Stonewashed Cotton Quilt Set

    Stonewashed Cotton Quilt Set

    Hot sleeper? Check! This might be a little Spenny but worth every penny. I have tried so many comforters, duvets etc and hated them all. This is my holy grail. It's soft and breathable. I also love the look of it on my bed.

  • Mixing Bowls with Lids - 12 Piece Plastic Nesting Bowls Set

    Mixing Bowls with Lids - 12 Piece Plastic Nesting Bowls Set

    These bowls are not only beautiful but very functional. I can't resist something that's pretty and functional. Made me throw away all of the mismatched containers in my cabinet. Worth the money spent for that reason alone.

  • Storage Bins with Lids

    Storage Bins with Lids

    Grabbed a set of these to help organize my hall closet. Love the lids so they are stackable and the window to see what I've stored. Great organization find. I always need help in that department.

  • Happy Planner Disc-Bound Planner

    Happy Planner Disc-Bound Planner

    My office goes crazy for a good planner. This one actually starts in July for teachers or anyone that lives life by a fiscal or academic calendar. Great size, plenty of room to write or doodle in and you can add extra pages. If it's not on my calendar or planner it might not happen.

  • Gingham Shoe Laces for Sneakers

    Gingham Shoe Laces for Sneakers

    Just for funsies, elevate your tennies with a cute pair of laces. How fun is that. Started with the black ones but I'm a die hard Raven so you know I had to find some red ones!

  • Loving Tan 2 HR Express Self Tanning Mousse

    Loving Tan 2 HR Express Self Tanning Mousse

    Huge fan of this self tanner and I've tried them all. It's may be more pricey than others but it's got more staying power and less odor.

  • AmLactin Daily Nourish Body Lotion

    AmLactin Daily Nourish Body Lotion

    Speaking of self tanning, this is a perfect companion. This dermatologist lotion hydrates but also exfoliates which is much needed to keep your self tanner from darkening those spots and freckles. Some people don't like the smell but I don't use it for the fragrance I use it because the lactic acid exfoliates and renews your skin.

  • Palladio Under Eye Brightener

    Palladio Under Eye Brightener

    Need an eye brightener that won't look cakey or dry. This is it. Great for using under eyes to hide under dark circles and hollows. Perfect highlighter cream that isn't heavy. I love the soft pink for a natural look.

  • ColourPop BFF Crème Gel Liner

    ColourPop BFF Crème Gel Liner

    Great little drugstore eye liner. So budget friendly but just as good as the expensive brands.

  • e.l.f. Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray

    e.l.f. Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray

    Yes, Elf! Don't count them out because it's cheap! Love this setting spray! Keeps my makeup in place, doesn't feel tacky, no heavy smell and it's a bargain!

  • Amazon Kindle Scribe

    Amazon Kindle Scribe

    This is a bigger ticket item but I always get asked about this in meetings and at conferences. It's a great for taking notes, creating to do lists and emailing to yourself or someone else. It lets you write or highlight in kindle books. Has a built in notebook and if your an avid reader I like this much better for reading than my regular kindle. Check it out and see what it's capable of!
