I’ve already given the Tresemme Fresh Start Dry Shampoo pictured below a test drive.  Now, mind you this is on weekend hair, which for me is extremely oily!  If I can manage it I will not wash my hair Friday OR Saturday night.  It depends on if I have something social or not.  If I [...]

Friday night was pizza with a friend & that was totally worth it.  The rest of the weekend was the typical “feeding the MAN” situation: grocery shopping, picking up prescriptions, doing bills, a Walgreens stop (that one was strictly for fun, so it wasn’t only un-fun spending LOL.)  I definitely feel my part in this big machine [...]

I love my hair again!  I was tempted to chop it off but realized that I wasn’t ready.  I’ve never hesitated like that so I thought I should wait until I’m sure.  Usually, I’m like, chop it off!  It’ll grow back!  Anyway, here are the photos:

I’ve re-trained the bangs to do what I like now that they’ve grown [...]

So, I got another bad haircut.  When will I learn?  No. More. Great. Clips.  And I completely dropped the ball & don’t think I even deserve to complain since I didn’t bring a photo of what I wanted.  My friend Jo asked if I brought a photo & I totally did a palm to the [...]

My friend Angie had Game Night at her house last weekend.  It was tons of fun – there was lots of yummy food & drinks.  We rocked out on Rock Band, played Scattergories, Balderdash & Taboo.
Also, Chrissy (again!) brought her magic, bottomless boxes of makeup to share.  SUCH an awesome night – good friends, great [...]

I am a magazine junkie.  I get most fashion magazines by subscription.  If I don’t subscribe I end up paying full price at the store.  Anyway, I learn random things with each one & here is this month’s installment from People StyleWatch:
I might try this version of the bob soon.  Slightly shorter in back.  Not [...]

I got the tip off that CVS is having their yearly makeup clearance sale – thank you Budget Chic! – and hustled my behind right over there!  I went on Tuesday night plus again on Wednesday morning to another location. I love makeup & I love clearance makeup even more!
Having all those great deals made [...]

Below is a photo of all the powder, tinted moisturizer, pore minimizers & primer I have tried lately:

From left:
Cover Girl powder – OK, but no SPF, a little too dry (am I never happy?)
Neutrogena – really good but too tinted, must be careful applying
Avon Magix – freaking awesome (so far), see comments below…
Clinique pore minimizer [...]

At one time I had found a very good answer for my oily skin.  It was a Biore lotion that came in a pump, had spf 15 & had some sort of reflective technology to help even out the skin tone.  It was in a tall, skinny pump container.  Anyone remember it?  Well, I can’t find [...]
