Well, do not be surprised if I tell you I am NOT PART OF THE NORM!
I have spent MY WHOLE LIFE gathering odds and ends and saying YES to my families furniture.
(TRUE ANTIQUES) that I could NEVER afford.
I am of the mind to LIVE with what you LOVE.
SO that includes THE ITALIAN and BANKSY AND BETTY AND THEODORE!
Why get rid of the things that bring you JOY when YOU have reached THE AGE to ENJOY IT?
Who cares if the KIDS left behind have to DEAL with it!
THEY WILL EITHER LOVE YOU MORE OR BE SWIMMING in YOUR THINGS!
YOU WILL BE LONG GONE.
IT IS NOT YOUR JOB TO EMPTY YOUR HOME of MANY YEARS!
(Excuse my BLUNTNESS)
They too will have memories of moving it into the HOUSE or MOM BUYING IT!
I too had a vintage shop for many years so that is a HOBBY/PASSION for me.
During the PANDEMIC I have stayed home unless it was grocery shopping or Doctors appointments.
I NEVER GOT BORED!
I ENJOYED MY HOME MORE THAN EVER……..
THERE WAS always something to read or clean or re-arrange.
Which brings ME GREAT JOY!
Why do you own it if it does not bring you JOY in the FIRST PLACE?
NO to THAT MARIE KONDO who made a GOOD amount of Money telling you how to live!
AND as far as the” LOOK” of the house. It is what I CREATED with the stuff I found or people had discarded.
Thank You for your thoughts, MARIE
BUT THIS GAL WILL KEEP ON LIVING WITH THE THINGS THAT BRING HER JOY!
I STARTED THIS POST A FEW MONTHS AGO;
SO I MUST HAVE READ SOME ARTICLE THAT TRIGGERED THESE EMOTIONS!
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY RANT……. SHALL WE MOVE ON TO SKIN CARE?
DEAR READERS
ON TO FACIAL JOY!
with
I recently WON a bottle of ARGAN OIL from a 95 year olds INSTAGRAM FEED.Boy,OH BOY has that changed my face in a way no other cream or potion has done in the past!My skin has NEVER felt so smooth and soft!Now I have DRY to NORMAL skin so I know this might not be for EVERYONE but if you have an inkling to try a new product I highly recommend this!It is $79.00 for a bottle which lasts a long time as you only use a drop or two on your face.ARGAN OIL can be used in your hair as well……….or your BODY!
I apply in the morning and let it SOAK IN before I put my foundation on……at least an hour before.SO, it can go to work on MY SKIN!Without any other creams or potions BOMBING IT!I get up drink my water and then make a coffee and then have to GO PEE and thats when I am close enough to the OIL to APPLY after I wash MY FACE with a BALM!Have you tried a BALM CLEANSER?
AGAIN ANOTHER PRODUCT I ADORE!
SO, let’s do the math!
Which I am HORRIBLE AT…….drove my FATHER CRAZY!
Which by the way;I found his BABY RATTLE this week and he would have been 100 this DECEMBER!
It was engraved.
Does anyone do that ANYMORE?
(I LOVE ENGRAVING AND MONOGRAMS!)
Odd to think of your parents being that old!
Back to MATHEMATICS….SHALL WE GO?
Double check me!
OKAY, The PRICE is $79.00 per bottle divided by 30 days in a month is $2.63 a day.
Which is $1.31 Morning and $1.32 AT NIGHT!
I am worth it and SO are YOU if you can make it happen!
There will be ZERO Botox Injections or Fillers in MY FUTURE, so I might as well keep the skin as subtle as can be.
As I tend to touch it frequently!
Well, blowing the nose and the occasional dark hair that NEEDS a LIFT out!
LA CONTESSA in 2020
As you can see not so many lines on the face.
AND that eyebrow looks FIXED just awful!
Believe me I didnot touch it I do not even know HOW TO EDIT THAT!
The neck has STARTED TO GO which is inevitable as both MY PARENTS had the GOBBLE GOBBLE LOOK!
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE WRINKLES HAVE TAKEN OVER!
It was NOT that LONG AGO I CAN RECALL having THREE LINES AROUND MY EYES!
THESE LINES HERE SEEMED TO HAPPEN OVER NIGHT!
I TEND TO BE A SIDE SLEEPER……..COULD that be another REASON?
OR THE STRESS WE LIVE WITH TODAY?
GOAL’s………………..NO STRESS!
HARD TO DO IN TODAYS WORLD!
EXCUSE THE CLEAVAGE!
I had my ROBE from COAST AND KOI covering it as I normally wear a TEE SHIRT under this design!
Here you can see how the FACE has a certain glow to it!
I had no foundation on here.
Just eyeshadow and lipstick.PLUS MY MGMOROCCANGOLD!
I even bring the ARGAN OIL down to THE GIRLS……….so I did not waste any of the residue on MY HANDS.
