No.245: Five Favorites for May

1 // PRODIGAL POTTERY
I stumbled on Prodigal Pottery on Etsy and immediately loved their mission.  From their About page:

Prodigal Pottery is handmade at King’s Home in Chelsea, Alabama by women fleeing domestic abuse.
Our ceramic art therapy program offers jobs to women in our homeless domestic abuse shelter and helps equip these women with skills in pottery and ceramics so they can take the steps necessary to start new lives for themselves and their children.
100% of the proceeds from Prodigal Pottery goes to support the women who hand make the pieces and the ministry itself. Thank you for your support of Prodigal Pottery. Because of your support, we are able to change the lives of abused women through the gift of art!

I bought this soap dish in white and it’s simple and beautiful.  Just what I was looking for to place next to my kitchen sink.


2 // “THIRSTY THURSDAY”
This sounds like a happy hour theme, hah!  In actuality, it’s just a handy reminder for me to water my plants every Thursday.  Simple and catchy enough for my scatterbrain.  My houseplants are thankful for it!

3 // NATURE’S MIRACLE SPRAY AND WIPES
We’ve had Lucy for almost eight weeks now and these are two items that have been worth their weight in gold!  You know that lovely wet dog smell?  We use the bath wipes after we have to take her out in the rain, which has been happening a lot this spring.  The hard floor cleaner has also been a life-saver after accidents.

4 // BOOKLY APP
Bookly is a free app that is great for readers like me who love numbers.  I used Bookly to help me track my reading time for #25in5 (which I totally failed, BTW) and it was interesting to see stats like how fast I read and how much time I read each day.

5 // ACURE HAIR AND SKINCARE
So I’m still on my shampoo bar kick, but I needed some help with the oil buildup it produced.  I found this clarifying shampoo which has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates and is also made in the USA.  So far, so good!  I also bought my oldest their cleansing stick and acne spot.

P.S. Have you joined Poshmark yet?  For a limited time, Poshmark is doubling the credit to $10 for your first purchase if you sign up with my code BWFARMHOUSE.  I hope you love it as much as I do!
