A Real Eye-Opener

Blame it on growing up with four brothers. Or just a dismally low beauty IQ. Whatever the reason, I always seem to be in the dark about skin creams, hair gels, and makeup tips. I’ve never colored my hair and still wash my face with soap and water each morning. But now, thanks to my favorite hair stylist, my eyebrows are oh-so-beautiful!

Of course, my brows had never been tweezed, threaded, or otherwise mistreated, so I was a bit unnerved when Rita offered a free brow wax at my next appointment.

It happened so fast!

“It’s a great way to open the eye area,” Rita said calmly as she smoothed aloe over my new brows, adding that the simple treatment makes a big difference for little expense. And I have to agree.

    I have never had my eye-brows done either! I am the master of hair gels make up and skin creams but the thought of someone yanking hair out of my face really freaks me out. Since it seemed to be a good experience for you I might just try it out! I’ve heard that once you do it one time you’ll want to do it all the time!

    I too have started having my eye brows done and rather enjoy the results. Have you had a pedicure? I was introduced to that a few years ago and just love them! :)

Do You Know About “The Daffodil Principle”?

I heard the story today from someone I admire. Now, I rarely read the sappy e-tales that circulate in cyberspace. But bear with me for a moment. In a nutshell, one woman made the decision to plant one daffodil bulb at a time, beginning in 1958. Over 40+ years, she planted some 50,000 bulbs, transforming [...]

National Humor Month

Any month that kicks off with a day dedicated to practical jokes is bound to be bursting with laughter and smiles. The calendar reserves most other months of the year to raise awareness to various illnesses and diseases, which is why I’m particularly fond of April. It’s National Humor Month; it’s time to laugh; it’s [...]
