February 2009

To better understand my excitement, it might help to know a little bit about my very complex complexion. I have extremely reactive, sensitive skin. I also have some hybrid form of rosacea and acne, a little keratosis pilaris (KP) and let's not forget the eyebrow eczema! All of this is shaded in nicely with just a bit too much redness. Fortunately, all of these conditions are in a mild state and with proper care are not terribly difficult to manage. We must work with what we are given, even if it is a rainbow-colored complexion. Be proud of it, I am. Hopefully, my rainbow will be someone else's sunshine!

Goddess Granny here! We all have our own personal and ever so frustrating beauty-related "issue" that drives each of us up a wall: I've yet to meet of or hear of a female (or anyone from that matter!) that no matter how much they have going for them, how much they have access to, or how much they can spend in both time and money that isn't just miserable about that "one lil' annoying 'thang" on a regular basis.

Mine is gaposis...no,it's nothing you can coverup with a breath mint,it's the simple fact that I'm basically built like a Barbie on steroids and my body is a nightmare when it comes to fitting clothing properly. I go from a "classy Mimi of 4" to downright "sleazy" in a matter of seconds if I dare to wear a fitted blouse or God forbid, an animal print, LOL! (and I do love them!)

I can rarely button anything in front as it's intended!

Hi Lovelies! It's another Body Beautiful Wednesday with your host Jeanasina and I hope this day is finding everyone in the pink! When I think about pink - two things come to mind. Pink glowing youthful skin and a nice supple round delicious Hostess Sno Ball pink snack cake! Yeah baby! That's what I'm talking about! Recently my Harley Man and I went for a walk and after walking in the winter wonderland that is Minnesota we had pink healthy glows to our faces and we walked our pink faced selves into a day old bakery and there on the shelf, waiting for me, was a beautifully preserved package of my old favorite, Hostess Pink Sno Balls! My Harley man said "YOU WANT THOSE?" He looked at the drool flowing down my face and noticed my eyes which were now as big as fried eggs as I stared at the package and he realized that YES, INDEED, I DID WANT THOSE! I carried my prize home like a treasure and when I finally ate it, I moaned with pure ecstasy with every single bite I took - it brought back so many youthful memories of absolutely loving those Hostess Sno Ball concoctions! I learned today that those Sno Balls first came out in 1947 and like me they are 60 years old!
No wonder I can relate to them! I'm sure my face was pink that day with the feelings of new found love or in this case, an old love come back to give my lips and taste buds a melt-down! My Harley man sat next to me and watched as I moaned and purred, grinning like a fool with a big coconut and marshmallow chocolate cake cream filling smile on my face! He said something like "I'm glad you are happy dear."That's a good man.

Meg here! I do it all the time! Maybe I'll want to change tops after trying to get the "perfect outfit" together...I'll put the deodorant on last most of the time. Sometimes I forget though, and there's nothing more annoying then catching those white streaks down the side of my shirt.

I use to try to keep baby wipes in my bathroom, on hand for times like these. If the shirt was made of anything besides cotton then I'd have a moist spot where my streaks were. Great. Now I don't have deodorant marks but I am left looking like I have some freak perspiration issue.

I don't have a baby in my house and now I don't have the wipes either! I have a big girl product specifically made for getting rid of those deodorant mishaps..The Smudge-Sponge to the rescue!

I like how these also work great on getting mineral makeup off my t-shirts, because, yeah. I am a little clumsy. There's a bunch in a pack so you can put one in your desk, car, powder room and be confidently streak-free!
