Lee's Beauty Blog - All things beauty..

Here we are. It's been a bit since I posted anything. Things may be a bit different but be assured, but's still crazy me. I should have more time to blog; I'm no longer working. Yea, yippee and whoot, whoot!!!!! It's been coming for a very long time. If you follow me, you will know I have RA. My pain became so severe, it hurts to walk, Not the life I was expecting but I'm still alive. I haven't decided what I'm going to blog about. Jokes, real life events maybe. I don't know. We will just have to see. Thanks for stopping by. Lee

Well, here I am again. I've been busy at work. Busy at home. When my Aunt passed away in November, It was hard. We emptied all her things out of the house she  lived in for 60 years. I think 90% of it is in my living room. I thing I have her graduation dress of hers from High School. That would have been 1942. She was very special to me. She was like a second mom. It's amazing all the antiques she had in her home.  She still had my curls from the time I got my hair cut. I miss her so much and I see her everyday in things I do. Anyhoo..... Just a quick post to let my hoard(LOL) of followers know I'm still around.  Today I'm actually doing my nails. I'll post my masterpieces after. Thanks for stopping by. Lee Hugs to my B.

Yes, I know it's been two months since my last post. My health issues have carried over for two months and I have been exhausted. I was finally feeling better and I lost someone very dear to me. When I was born. I was blessed with amazing parents, my Nana and my Aunt Wanda.  Wanda has always treated me like her own. I spent every minute of my childhood that I could at Wanda and Nana's house. It was home to me. My grandmother taught me how to iron, cook and sew among other things. I lost her when I was 11. Both parents passed away in 2003. Wanda was always there for me. She was like a second mom to me. She helped me with anything she could.  She babysat my six kids when I was a single parent going to school. She treated my kids like they were her own. She was an amazing woman. She worked at Grand Coulee Dam when it was being built, she traveled and she truly loved life. She was a Christian and she devoted her life to Jesus Christ. Back in July when I had surgery on my foo...

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...
