Unique Custom Gifts at Gifts.TrishaLyn.com

Since a conversation with my dad in May, I’ve been trying to figure out a good domain name for a new shop, run 100% by me and not a 3rd party, to see my unique custom gifts that I make mostly by hand at.  I toyed with several ideas, but never pulled the trigger.  I finally found it sitting right in front of me – and I already own it.  So, introducing Gifts.TrishaLyn.com!

Oakland Athletics Manicure 2016 Edition

If you’ve been following me for a few years, you’ve seen I’ve done an Oakland Athletics themed manicure for my first game every season.  This year’s first game manicure has come later than the others considering I’ve been unemployed.  However, thanks to Lorenza’s ticket deal booklets and Free Parking Tuesday, I went to my first game last night for the 2016 season!

Proactiv 3 Step Acne Treatment System Review

According to the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 54% of women over the age of 25 have acne.  I’m here to say that, unfortunately, I think I’m one of those 54%!  I’ve never been really good at following a facial care routine, so I’m not sure if it’s actually acne or just dirty pores, but when I was given the chance by Facing Acne to try Proactiv, I jumped at it!  I had a friend in high school that used Proactiv right when it came out and raved about it, so I was excited to finally try it.

Handmade Gifts with Love

Having found myself recently unemployed, I’ve had a lot of time on my hands.  So I’ve been putting those hands to work producing more handmade gifts for friends in exchange for both money and thanks.  Many have involved my trusty Cricut but others are more, well, hands-on like a small commissioned cross-stitch ornament I’ll be working on this week.  I’d be happy to put these hands to work on your custom, commissioned gifts as well!
