Now, this weather has got to go. It’s important, I know, to have spring rain…it
helps the lake, it helps the flowers and trees, it helps, it helps. But you should see our driveway and
yard. Things are super muddy around
here, like walking in fudge. But, yes,
there will be sun and drying winds. This
is temporary, I know.
A couple weeks ago I talked about introducing essential oils
into some of my daily routines, which I have continued to do although have not
improved on incorporating as much as I want to. I do still love the frankincense
and coconut oil I am using on my neck and chest. Working on those imperfections
and happy with the results. A drop of
lemon oil in my water every day, several glasses a day, and a mix of lemon, lavender
and tea tree oil to spritz on my counters.
Using my diffuser more often and saw a great little recipe for a spring
fragrance called Shamrocks. Tee hee
hee. Love that.
A few years ago I started watching a make-up artist on You
Tube. I liked her because she was fun,
funny, impertinent and did not give a care about what people thought. She entertained me and although I am not into
make-up so much, I liked watching her. I
was maybe a little depressed during those days and needed a boost. I put her right up there with smutty romance
novels and the Bravo housewives franchise.
I cannot get enough. Shocking,
right? Is there anyone out there more shallow than me?
Anyway, when I started watching this young woman, I also
started paying attention to some of the products that seemed to pop up in a lot
of places but were often very expensive and not something I was going to spend
money on, since I am not a make-up person.
However, I was intrigued by one product that seemed to get mentioned a
lot. Tarte Shape Tape. I do not understand why it is called Shape
Tape as it is neither for shaping nor taping.
It’s concealer. The product
reviews were ridonkulous, as they say, and recently I pulled the trigger and
ordered some to be sent in a plain brown unmarked envelope to my home.
This stuff is pretty good.
It’s good on wrinkles and discolorations – okay, bags – around my eyes. I have learned how to blend and smooth and it
truly does take a smidgen of this stuff to work. I use it all around my eyes because I do not
use eye shadow but the eyelids aren’t what they use to be, and this stuff
really does go on thin and not settle into lines and wrinkles. It’s good stuff and I recommend, if that
matters to you at all.
So I guess what I am getting at with all these new ideas and
items is that it’s not too late, I guess ever, to try to improve yourself and
your surroundings. It would be so easy
to just accept what I have, what I know, at my age, but, I really do want to be better, look my best
healthy self, feel my best healthy self.
That being said I had to run an errand yesterday and WOW am
I glad I didn’t see any one I know as I did not do my eyes, or my hair, or my wardrobe for that matter. If
you did happen to see me, thanks for ignoring me and sparing me the anguish it would have caused both of us.
