So NBC’s Brian Williams got suspended for six months without pay.

I  have to say I like Brian Williams, but did he really think he could lie about events that never happened? Come on, we all lie about stuff, but most of us are not making a boatload of money to deliver the national news.

Maybe we can get NBC to start suspending all of these politicians that lie on a regular basis. Now that would be sweet.

 

Beauty Army subscription-Review

This was a mistake, which I quickly cancelled.  The cost is $12 per month.  You do get to select what samples you get, but they are small and maybe one or two uses.  I was doing research on beauty box subscriptions, and Beauty Army seemed like a good value.

 

It did come right away, and I was immediately disappointed. I did get some L’Oreal eye cream and a tube of brightening serum.  I got several hair products. Barely worth $12 in my opinion.

Physicians Formula Touch of Glow Nude Wear Foundation-Review

This foundation is brand new and I love it.  I’m always on the lookout for a great foundation.  I’ve been nursing a sample of Clinique Even Better liquid, only wearing it on special occasions because I didn’t want to fork over $27 for foundation.  The new Physicians Formula Nude Wear is better than the Clinique Even Better and only costs $14.99 at Ulta. There was a buy one get one 50% off sale and I used my rewards points along with an Ulta coupon and only paid $8.69.

It’s one ounce and comes with a quality brush to apply. I got Light and the color matches perfectly with my fair complexion. The coverage is light but covers well. It imparts a dewy glow that my mature skin loves. I used a little loose powder on my cheeks, and I was good to go. You only use one drop on the brush and it easily covers your entire face. The label says “weightless fluid foundation dresses skin in an illuminating veil of radiance delivering just the right amount of coverage, while remaining virtually undetectable on the skin” True, true and more true.

The foundation does not have an SPF, which is surprising for Physicians Formula. But I always wear a 30 SPF in my moisturizer anyway.

If you are looking for a great high end type liquid foundation, the Nude Wear Touch of Glow will be your skin’s new best friend.

Will a dent come out of your head???

About two months ago I dented my forehead.  I was in a hurry and whacked my head on my car door. I do believe I saw some stars, and it hurt like a mother effer.  Surprisingly it didn’t bleed, and I thought for sure I would have a gusher on my hands.  No bump just a small bruise for a few days and a red line.

I didn’t notice the dent until I saw a photo of myself recently. I wear glasses and have really poor vision. But jesus, a dent in my head??? It looks like someone pressed their finger down and it stayed that way. I look like I got into a bar fight, and got the crap beat out of me. I know scars add character, but I do believe I have filled my quotient.

Should I be worried? I’ve never had a dent before.  Is this what it truly means to be old?? Hell, I’m only 56, and was dent free prior to this.  Sure I have some pox marks on my forehead from when I had chicken pox as a kid, but I wear bangs so you really can’t see them.  But this dent is huge. WTF!?!?!?!

If anyone knows of how I can get rid of it, please let me know. Maybe I could try some Silly Putty as filler. Dented forehead 2-5-15 Do they make flesh colored spackle?

Made it this far now what??

65 or 25, good words to live by!

Well today I am 65. Entitled to Medicare and retired. Somehow between my ears I never got that memo. The time has just disappeared. We are never old there unless we want to be. The great thing about social media is that people connect with that mind not with a preconceived idea of who you are from an outside wrapper.

My era was one of once you are forty you might as well be dead. Well we hit forty and we figured that fifty was ancient. Fifty came and went and well now Seventy is the new thirty. Yea dream on. The best thing that you can do in life is just hold on. Do the best you can with the time you have. Want to travel? What are you waiting for? Retirement?? Hell do that stuff while all the equipment still works. It doesn’t last forever you know.
