Nope. Not going to risk it. Just in case.:) Well here we are. A beautiful September day. Some would say chilly but I think it's a perfect. You can even see the mountains. We had had some wildfires recently and it's been really smokey.  There have been days you can't see across the street. I think thoses days are past. I pray God watched over anyne that lived in those areas. It would be scary as Hell knowing that at any given moment, you could lose everything. On to something cherry. While I was rehabbing after three surgeries, I decided to try my hand at acrylics again. I wore them for years but seemed to develop an allergy to them. SOmeone suggested that it might be the primer that I was allergic to, not the acrylics. So I tried a protein primer and I haven't had any issues thus far. For this look I tried my hand at "extended nail bed." I thought the thumb looked great but I need to keep practicing. In case anyone in wondering: Disclaimer:  I am no...

He's out in the middle of nowhere. If you have teenagers, they may have watched a show called "Charlie & Lola." My daughter loved that show. She was five at the time. Foxy was Lola's toy fox.m One day she lost him "out on the middle of nowhere." If you asked her where Foxy was, she would say, in her tiny five year old voice,l with her best British accent "He's out in the middle of nowhere." That's how I've felt these past two and a half months.  Like I was stuck out in the middle of nowhere. I had Achilles tendon repair on July 6th. I'm apparently clumsy as Hell because I fell trying to go to the bathroom and put my foot down. No big deal. There was no pain involved so I didn't think anything about it. On July 11th, Mr. Unhappy Gallbladder came out. Cool. No pain. I saw my Podiatrist who was unhappy that I fell but understanding. wasn't sure about the whole situation. Followed up with him a week later and we decided ...

When it comes to Wonder Woman! "Why?" you ask. Because Wonder Woman is the original female Super Hero. As far as the others are concerned, they are just knockoffs. She has been kicking ass since ass since 1941. Last year at Walgreens, they had some Wonder Woman items. My daughter was sweet enough to buy me the makeup brushes. They are nice little brushes. Today, I walked into Walgreens and hit the jackpot!! I found a different set of brushes for $12. I came across some makeup bags as well. These came in a set. The large clear vinyl measures 9 1/2 in wide by 7 1/2 in tall x 7 in deep.  It's trimmed with red and black and has a large gold star on the zipper pull. The second bag is a soft fabric with a zipper. It measures 7 1/2 in wide x 5 1/2 in tall x 5 in deep. The set of two bags was $10. The next bag is a soft fabric "weekender." It has a lot of room inside.  It's 9 in wide x 7 in tall x 7 in deep. There aren't any pockets  but I...

But the possibility is still possible. Not really. I try to always do the right thing. Be the better person. You know what I'm talking about. So I did my nails. Add then I had a revelation.  Do something different, I said. And here I am;. I'm going to cal it the "I wanted to love it...." blog post. I am sure that everyone has bought something and after you got home, realized that it wasn't what you expected. Unless you live in a booming metropolis...I don not, you would have to drive at least 50 miles to return something. Fortunately, I can always find someone to share with. And since I buy everything with my own funds, I promise to give you a brutally honest opinion. Lets talk about.........Lip Sense. Have you ever heard of Lip Sense? Long lasting lip stick that smells something akin to grain alcohol? Well I tried it. My daughter in law seemed to like it so I thought I'd give it a whirl. The color itself will run you $25.  If you want a gloss...

It's been a month since I've blogged. :( I'd love to say my life is so busy and exciting I forgot but I can not tell a lie. Health issues keep me tired all of the time. I'm feeling pretty good today so here I am. I think it's going to be a busy Summer at our house. I have three grand-babies on the way. One boy so far. I am waiting patiently on the other two.  I have five grandsons right now. I'm not going to lie, I was wishing for three girls but I will take whatever God has planned. I have a wedding in two weeks for my baby boy. He's not really a baby, he's 23 and 6'3" I believe. He is still my baby and I am happy for both of them. So I'm guessing the many of you have see water marble nail art.  I think it is beautiful. Every design is different.  The only draw back for me is the mess. I know there are many brands of "Nail Tape" out there but they are all latex based. I, sadly am allergic to latex. So it gets messy.  One day...

It['s been raining all day so I binged watched "The People vs. OJ Simpson." Talk about stupid people.  He was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt with DNA evidence and his Lawyers played the race. People were so mad because wsome rotten LAPD Cop used the "N" word they forgot Simpson was guilty. Derps. Rant over. Here's the idea to end all ideas. Nope, just kidding. I had this look all done and I wasn['t happy with it. Even though it looked almost exactly like the picture, I had to do something else. It looks like this: Black is absolutely the worst color for me to work with. Ugh!!!I can never seem to get it to look right. No matter how careful I am, it always looks messy to me. I saw this look on pinterest and thought it was awesome. Here's the link:https://www.pinterest.com/pin/394979829804834347/ Her's are so much nicer. Obviously Black polish is her Besties' So I used L.A. Girl Color Pop Darkness, L.A. Girl Color Pop Glitzy, P...

Hello polish fans: If you haven't seen my posts where I have mentioned that every month I receive makeup brushes from LiveGlam. The box is called "MorpheMe." These are really awesome brushes from the Morphe' Brush Company. All of the brushes I have from this subscription are soft and well made. These boxes will run you about $20 dollars. Here is a picture of a few of the brushes that I have so far: In case you might be interested, here's the link to LiveGlam. https://liveglam.com/morphe-brushes/?ref=mamacinco61@yahoo.com Now LiveGlam has started offering a polish and lipstick subscription as well. PolishMe, which came in my P.O. Box yesterday; and KissMe lipstick. Sadly, the lipstick box is"wait list" status. So wait I shall. Back to the PolishMe box. It comes in a cute little box, which I have already found a use for. As a child of parents who lived through The Great Depression, I save everything. It looks like this. In this ...
