Thursday, November 8th, 2007One of the worst things about being a teenager, at least for me, was having acne. All I wanted back then was to have clear skin. Of course, I knew very little about acne or what caused it so I spent most of my time trying to cover it. Until I allowed a doctor […]
My Teenaged Beauty Princess
Monday, October 15th, 2007 Back when I was 14 I was buying my makeup at Murphy’s 5&10. I thought that buying brand names like Cover Girl was a big deal. It wasn’t until I was out of school and earning my own money that I even considered buying high end makeup.
My own daughter is 14 and while […]
Self Improvement Thoughts
Wednesday, September 26th, 2007I’m on a roll here, I guess. I’m just kind of excited about finally finding an eating plan that is working for me. Each time the needle on the scale moves down a notch, my self-esteem rises and my determination gets stronger. And my mind begins turning, thinking of more ways to improve myself. […]
Laser Hair Removal As A Reward
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007I’ve been doing quite well on my diet and I’m trying to come up with an interesting reward for when I reach my first mini goal. I like non-food rewards, of course, and usually something to do with pampering or beauty. Since I was thinking about going back to Hawaii looking so much better […]
Daughters!
Saturday, August 25th, 2007 I realize that I did not listen to my mother when I was young. I just didn’t think she had a clue - about anything! Honestly, though, I never thought that my own daughter would feel the same way about me.
Maggie is getting little breakouts on her face. Instead of following my advice about […]
One More Thing
Monday, August 13th, 2007 I just realized I forgot to mention something really important. My new 10x mirror - WOW!
I have a 3x mirror and a 5x mirror. I love them both. But this 10x mirror is something else completely.
First, it’s small which is good since there’s really no reason to have a large magnifying mirror. If I […]
Nail Polish Update
Monday, August 13th, 2007 For those who may be interested, the Sally Hansen nail polish purchased for $2.50 is holding up just as well as the more expensive Opi polish.
One difference, though, between the two brands is the consistency of the polish and the ease of application. The Sally Hansen polish is thicker and more difficult to […]
Nail Polish Ponderings
Friday, August 10th, 2007 Last week when Brian and I stopped by the mall on our anniversary, I picked up two bottles of Opi nail polish. For those who don’t know about Opi nail polish, it’s a high end brand. Two bottles came to around $16. I love the colors and they seem to stay on well.
Today when […]
My Favorite Things
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007 I love reading magazines. I love freebies. I love cosmetics and girly things. Put all that together and I’m just giddy with delight!
Now, keep in mind that I’m sharing all this with you because I like you. I could just keep this to myself so I have a better chance of getting more stuff. […]
What’s With My Nose?
Wednesday, July 11th, 2007 It happened to me again. I went to the mall with my daughter and we stopped by several areas of the cosmetics department. We looked at eyeshadows and blush; we sampled lipstick and glosses. And, naturally, we lingered over the fragrances.
My daughter found several that she really liked; I found two. And both, believe […]
