In Beauty Banter 1368988517.203 Yes, I still do a 'leg check' daily to make sure there are no strays popping up. So far, so good. Glad to see I'm not the only one with surprise eyebrow hairs that grow 1/2 inch overnight. Or the gray eyebrow hairs that grow straight out like a wire brush? Anyone? And now I sometimes find eyebrow hairs on my eyelids -- what is up with that??!! Those are danged painful to tweeze out.

Can we talk leg hair? Is it just me.... have the rest of you noticed that one day you shave your legs and then it doesn't grow back again ever? I'm happy about this, of course. It happened about 8 months ago, last fall sometime. One morning I shaved as usual, and my legs have stayed smooth ever since. I have maybe 20 hairs on both legs combined. I still shave with a blade occasionally just to exfoliate, but I could just as easily use a pair of eyebrow tweezers. I'm thrilled at this devel...

I can brush and swirl it on as thin or as thick as I want and it covers my darkish spots and my even my rosacea. Might not work for everyone, but it gives me a perfectly smooth complexion. I used to use the Revlon Colorstay and it's a great liquid foundation for coverage.

Lately, if a beauty show is on, I change the channels. Borrrrrrring. Continue Reading In Beauty Banter 1368876059.61 It amazes me how some plain vanilla discussions can turn nasty here..... maybe it got poofed by mistake? For me, I've quit wearing makeup because of my summer job outdoors. All I bought beauty-wise this last week was stronger sunscreens: Neutrogena 100spf spray and Neutrogena 100spf lotion. And, 2 more bottles of 40 Carrots Vitamin C/Retinol serum. Continue Reading In Beauty Banter 1368616572.553 Thanks again -- I assume Physician's Formula is available at Walgreen's? I work outside in the sun am tired of spritzing on the Neutrogena spray sunscreen several times a day - it makes me greasy. I was hoping to find a powder. Thanks for your help! Continue Reading In Beauty Banter 1368614954.707 When I was a teenager in the 60's, my mom used to harp on me about keeping my face pristine clean and always always cleansing before I went to bed. Back then I had acne and keeping my complexion clean was keeping it healthy. The acne went away (mercifully!) but it's now a habit to cleanse well at the end of every day. Continue Reading In Beauty Banter 1368567583.517 Thanks Sooner and Lowry -- a co-worker told me she's used different sunscreen face powders. Unfortunately she couldn't remember the brand names. Guess I'll just ask at Walgreens. Yes, I was hoping for a favorable review. I appreciate your help. Continue Reading In In the Garden 1368374139.97 I'm a lazy gardener - used to write articles for various newsletters and mags about lazy gardening. I've got it down to a science! My 'style' (if that's what it is) is definitely not formal, even tho I like to color-coordinate and make little vingettes of textures and leaf shapes. I do a lot of work in the spring transplanting, cleaning out, mulching heavily (lasage gardening), then let the foliage and blooms run amok. I'd rather sit back, relax, and look at the lovely colors and shapes than actually do any work after late May. I spend the summer plotting and drawing plans for the next ... Continue Reading
