Great Foundation Finds

As a woman closing in on the big 5-0, with large pores, dry skin, dark circles and those annoying fine wrinkles(OMG will the list EVER end?), I am constantly trying new foundations. The ones available to everyone at drugstores are the ones I mostly try. They are in most women's budgets.

I have two new ones that I really like! I use them together. The first is Revlon PhotoReady foundation(spf 20). It really reduces my pores. It doesn't feel heavy at all, yet gives great coverage, even for dark under eye circles:) It also has a very sanitary, easy to control pump.

Then I usually follow with a loose powder to set the foundation. However....I am now using ANOTHER foundation for this job. It is Revlon ColorStay Aqua(spf 13). A mineral foundation. It has a self contained brush in the lid, very sanitary. It also has sparklies for a luminescent look. And you really feel the "aqua" part when you apply it. You don't need much if you use it to finish your foundation.

This combination seems to last all day. However, summer is around the corner, and then we will have the sweat test. I have had good luck in the summer with ColorStay products, so I am confident this one will be just fine.

Aging sucks! But thanks to Revlon we can fool some people! LOL!! With everything on the market and all the technology, we can cover and shrink 10 years away!!! When that doesn't work...accessorize!!! Take the focus away from you with clothes and jewelry!!!LOL!!!!

BEST GLASS CLEANER!!

I want to share another awesome discovery with everyone! Sprayaway Glass Cleaner!!! Wow is this stuff great!

I have been using Invisible Glass foam(in most automotive departments and stores). Don't get me wrong..that is good too. But Sprayaway is better!! I wanted something to keep in the car. I saw this by the Windex, it was the same price, so I tried it. AMAZING! Plus it is a little cheaper than Invisible Glass.

I then Googled it and found the reviews for it on Amazon. Everyone agrees with me!

Oh Sprayaway....where have you been my whole life?!

Family Feud: Name something that gets passed around: A Joint...

I know its wrong, but I think this is hilarious!! Poor Steve Harvey...he handled it great!

A Wonderful Christmas Eve

I had my sisters kids over my house for Christmas Eve. It is going to be our new tradition. For quite a few years they would go to the nursing home to celebrate Christmas with their mom, who passed away in March. She suffered a stroke at a very young age and spent the last 8 years in a home.

Her one joy in her life was her grandson Eddie. He's 4 and full of life. Her face lit up whenever he was there. Tonight he was the 5th generation to play on the family piano. The piano my sister loved.

To make things even more perfect...we had deer come up to the house to snack on some birdseed. He got to see them. I told him they were reindeer taking a quick break. How perfect was that?

I hope I did my sister proud. I think it was one of the best Christmas Eves ever...at least until next year!!!

My perfect car would have.......

Remote doors(just 4 more buttons)...perfect in the rain or when your hands are full
A 12 volt plug in the trunk
A built in AC converter in dash AND trunk
A built in 12V cooler in the trunk
Fold out tables in the back seat(on the back of front seats)
A fold out table in the front that swings side to side
A built in battery charger under the hood with retractable cables
A television high on the dash
A small built in laptop
A little glove box size microwave
Start my car with my cell phone
Heated floors
Heated wipers
The option to change dash light colors
50 mpg(a girl can hope)

And I would like all this in the car I have NOW. I LOVE my car! But this list would create a stress free life:) Traffic jam? No problem...someone honk when it's time to go.

Michigan vs. Michigan State

My friend Karen and I's yearly battle was on all week. Friday was our grand finale. Here is what I did to my Sparty friend's car. Had more but it was quite windy, but I was happy with the result.




I will NEVER grow up!LOL!!

Lovin' The New Downy

I absolutely love, love, LOVE the new improved Downy!

It is supposed to smell fresh for a week.

Well, I washed all of our throws, preparing for our chilly Michigan fall.

It has been TWO weeks and every time I grab one I can still smell it.......aahhhhh. I think I put a little extra in now just because it smells so good.

Now if they would just come out with a carpet freshener. Hey...that reminds me! I have throw rugs I can wash! Yea!!!!!

FYI TIP....I have used liquid fabric softener mixed with water in my potpourri burner

Freshens the whole house. It smells like you have been doing laundry all day..LOL!

More Waste of Taxpayers Money in Michigan

I just need to vent a little(please read the article). My great state of Michigan, which has a ban on baiting deer, is wasting money going after someone that has deer eating from his bird feeder. The case was tossed but they are wasting even more $$ by appealing the decision.

They expect this man to prevent it somehow. Hmmm. Does that mean everyone with fruit trees, gardens, bird feeders, etc, should expect to end up in court?

The deer are actually owned by the state. So maybe THEY should control them. Maybe people should sue the state of Michigan when their gardens are destroyed. Or when their vehicle is totaled from hitting one of the state's deer. They obviously feel this is possible.

A Girls Best Friend

Twist ties and duct tape!!!! Two of the best inventions EVER! Notice how they have not changed? Ever?
That's because they are already perfect. No room for improvement.

Not what you expected, huh? You thought I was going to write about chocolate or diamonds, didn't ya?

Well I save all my twist ties that I can. I use them to tie cords, especially on seasonal appliances like fans and space heaters when they are packed away. And all those cords for media? All streamlined! Woohoo! Cords in the junk drawer are nice and neat, even though I have NO idea what they all go to. LOL!!

And the best thing I ever did with duct tape(I have a few colors) was fix this annoying hole inside a purse. Quick, easy and out the door. No more fishing for items under the lining!

Oh I just love my twist ties and duct tape! I can conquer the world with you by my side:)

Honoring The Victoms of 9/11-We Will NEVER Forget

This truck driver has all the names of the victims from 9/11 on his truck. The police pull him over just to have their picture taken by it.

Necklace Displays

I got a bunch of easel back necklace displays for 10 cents each. It really pays to work in retail sometimes:)

I plan on covering them with black satiny material and trimming with pink fur. I can't wait to do one so I can post the pic.

So I am set on jewelry displays for my booth. Keeping everything pink and black. I even plan on getting a black pop up awning and hanging pink lights underneath. I have a black banner with pink letters to hang in front. Now I have to get black or gray indoor/outdoor carpeting to cover cords and give off the right ambience.

SHARE YOUR BEST PRACTICAL JOKES!

Hey everyone out there in cyberland!
I LOVE good harmless practical jokes. I want everyone to post a comment and share the best one you have done or someone has done to you.

Getting old SUCKS!

Ok. I've been wearing dollar store readers for a few years now. They are so perfect for a mizer like myself, that also has to color coordinate everything. I have readers for every outfit and every occasion. HOWEVER.........I found them so inconvenient AND highly breakable. They were also making my eyes WORSE. I couldn't even read prices in stores. Which to a cheapskate, I mean MIZER, like myself, that is a sin.

So...I broke down and went to an eye doctor, aka eyeglass salesman.

Let's just say my insurance was geared more toward prices in the 1970s. My mouth dropped when I heard the total. They are probably worth more than my good old compact car!!! Hell, just the lenses are!!!

Anyway.....I got those fancy dancy progressive lenses. Yes. I can see again and the glasses actually stay on. But here is where the fun begins.

First...I can't stop wearing them low on the nose(kinda sounds like a rap song) They sort of DO NOT work that way.

Second....If I move too fast things kinda go wacky for a second. Especially my computer screen. They make even more fancy dancy lenses for this purpose, but I said NO! Can't fathom what THEY would have cost!

Third...Where the hell did my peripheal vision go?

Fourth...I'm not sure I WANT to see everything THIS good!

Alright. I know it takes time to get used to these. Everyone has told me this. But I hope I don't get pulled over and asked to walk a straight line. I could be the 1st person arrested for failing a sobriety test and be sober! LOL!!!!! I can see them smacking their breathylizer and assuming it was broken. "Sorry ma'am. We're gonna have to take ya down to the station while we check out our equipment."

Boy does getting old SUCK!!




The frames ARE super cute though.

Hot weather tips

Keep the sun off your skin as much as possible. Actually wear more clothing consisting of loose fitting breathable fabric.

Run cold water on your wrists every hour

Use covers at night with a hot water bottle filled with ice water. Put it behind your ankles or knees.

Put an ice pack under your left arm. Close to the heart.

Wear cooling bandanas around your neck(carotid artery)

The point is to keep your major pulse points cool

Or be like me~sit your butt in the airconditioning or right in front of a fan with a nice cool drink:) Being out in this kind of weather will cause wrinkles girls!! Hot sun is VERY bad! Bad, I say!

Craft Show Preparedness!

I'm slowly collecting items to create a beautiful professional looking booth. I want people to feel like they are in a boutique not a pop up awning:)

My new banner will be hung on pink fabric. My new labels will be used for new earring cards. They are 1 1/2 inches round and I am putting them on pink 2 inch round cardstock.

I Tried a New Mascara

And me likey!

I have been thinking about wearing false eyelashes for about 2 years now. You know how the eyelashes get thinner as you mature(politically correct term for old). I have such a hard time with those horrible mascara wands. HATE THEM! But 'tis a necessity.

Well I bought the new L'Oreal Telescoping Explosion today. The (magic)wand is awesome.

It's the little round ball one and boy can you get each and every lash. I put a test swipe on my wrist and it will not wipe off.

I really suggest giving it a try!

I have included a pic for everyone, because, if you are like me, I stand there staring at everything trying to remember which one I wanted to try:)
