Hello Friends, I hope all is well in your world. Now that I am over the age of 50, I have started thinking more and more about the skin I’m in especially my face. We’ve all heard that too much sun exposure is bad for your skin – too late, from 1976 to 1979 I’d bake every summer at Rehoboth Beach and even now I enjoy laying in the summer sun but not as long. Drink more water – I wish I could drink the recommended 32 oz, or is that 64 ounces daily, heck I’m lucky if I drink 8 oz every 3 days, that is of course unless coffee and wine counts.
Get plenty of rest – who me, the person that doesn’t get into bed until after midnight and then tosses and turns because my mind won’t shut down? Don’t smoke – too late, although I am a quitter, 5 years clean, (yeah me) I did smoke for over 30 years. Now more than ever I have to pay closer attention to how I treat my skin to avoid any further damage.
I recently ordered a bottle of Foxbrim 100% Pure Argan Oil from Amazon.com and started using it as a moisturizer for my face. After removing my makeup and cleansing my face, I put 2-3 drops on the back of my hand then using my fingertips apply it to my face, eyelids and lips.
Foxbrim 100% Pure Argan Oil is unbelievably light, easily absorbs into my face leaving it feeling nourished. Now that I’ll be spending more time in the sun, this product will definitely be up front and center as part of my daily moisturizing and makeup routine.
Foxbrim 100% Pure Argan Oil can also be used a hair treatment and pre-shave oil, but I think I’ll let my mini men try it for those purposes then I’ll let you know what they think.
How do you love the skin you’re in?
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!
This is an old post but I think it’s worth repeating, especially as the weather warms.
If your face is naturally oily or perhaps you get that “afternoon glow” on your T-Zone, here’s a money-saving tip: don’t spend your money on store-bought cosmetic blotters, just grab a toilet seat cover and make your own.
If you are out and have to use a public restroom, grab a few of those toilet seat covers. When you get home cut them into small squares which you can then store in a small plastic sandwich bag, or envelope to keep in your purse or makeup bag.
Afternoon Glow?
Now you have your own home-made (FREE) blotting cloths.
What are some of your money saving beauty tips?
I hope to see you again this evening at 6:00 for the #WWDParty!
Stay Blessed ~ No Stress in 2014!

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay
This has been a week of highs and lows and I am not even going to talk about the zany weather. Life is so very fragile, I am asking each of you to tightly hug and tell someone that you love them tonight before the clock strikes midnight! I also want to say, “thank you” for being part of my life, I will probably need to borrow some of your strength as time goes on…but we’ll talk about that later, in the meantime. please say an extra prayer for the “Blake Family”.

Hello Friends, I hope you had an enjoyable weekend!
As an Avon Independent Sales Rep I probably have more cosmetics than I need but I like trying new products so that I can spread the word to my customers or answer any questions they may have. I don’t particualarly like to spend a lot of money on makeup and usually stick to an under $5.00 price point but I was curious about the new Mega Effects Mascara.
The $10 cost made me a bit apprehensive as well as the fact that it looked a little more complicated to apply and I don’t have a lot of time in the morning, but I bit the bullet and ordered it. The first morning I tried it I ended up poking myself in the eye and getting smudges on my lower lashes, I was trying to use it like a traditional brush.
The WonderBrush handle is like a mini paint brush that is adjustable, and is shaped to fit the natural curve of your lashes.
I am going to be honest and say that it took two mornings for me to become comfortable in using it but now it’s just as quick to apply as any other mascara. It provides great volume, there’s no clumping, and it’s easy to remove at night.
This was definitely worth the price.

Hello friends, I hope your day was stress free and you are now home relaxing comfortably in anticipation of next week’s madness! I do not shop on “Black Friday” but I do like to look for bargains the week before Thanksgiving. Today I stopped in at Kmart in Exton, PA and found several bins containing the summer line of various cosmetics, including Milani and Wet n Wild. I’ve never used Milani but have heard good things from YouTube Vloggers so for the price I decided to pick up a few products.
Milani Lip Sticks were $2.50, purchased Creamy Cocoa, Fushia Freeze and Orange Gina.
Milani Lip Glosses were $2.00
Milani Eyeshadows were $3.00, purchased Fusion, Intermix and Drench in Gold
Milani Nail Art was $2.00, purchased Art of Gold
Wet n Wild Bronzer was $1.49, purchased Princess 741A
Wet n Wild Foundation/Primer was $2.99, purchased Medium
I saved a few dollars and added to my cosmetic collection which is always a good thing.
Have a great night – Smooches

No makeup, heels or jewelry, only shorts/tanks, sandals and a bathing suit for 5 wonderful, sun-filled days. Whether it’s called a VACATION or STAYCATION, living “the Life of Riley” is a beautiful thing. Sleeping in late; eating breakfast on the back deck; poolside lounging; laughing with and loving family and friends was the perfect way to spend the long July 4th Holiday. It was also the first time that we did not go out to watch fireworks, I did however, watch Wawa Welcome America and loved Lauryn Hill’s surprise performance. I was also able to watch more of the Twilight Zone Marathon, “Time Enough At Last” with Burgess Meredith is my favorite episode! I did do a little yard work and paid the price with my annual case of poison ivy – oh how I hate the itch!!!
I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend and now it’s back to reality!
