During his press conference, Trump said he has turned his businesses over to his sons. That eliminates any possibility of conflict of interest. He said. Right. His sons will receive business offers they never dreamed of. He he also acknowledged that Russia did the hacking but said it was the fault of the […]

~~January 10, 2017~~ THANK YOU, MERYL As always, many have spoken from the ‘other side’. They have derided her actions and demeaned her message. I have done the opposite. I strongly support her and thank her deeply. These are words that resonate with those who still have a functional brain. HortyRex© The Cecil B. DeMille […]

Woo hoo! Love this blogger!
When your looks start to fade, a part of you dies because beauty is power if you know how to use it and when it’s gone you’re diminished. It sounds petty to admit you sometimes get what you want because you’re pretty, but it’s an advantage, a big one! Who wants to give that up? Who wants to watch it happen in the mirror? So what do you do? You have a couple of choices:
-The “Fuck It” option whereby you let your looks go and you spend your time, money and energy on something else. This option allows you to eat what you want, when you want it. (Within reason. Too many carbs and you’ll end up with a slew of maladies, spending all your time in doctor’s offices and at the pharmacy filling prescriptions.) If you choose this option, you must buy your clothes at Macy’s-from the Alfred Dunner…

OMG! This lady and I were twins separated at birth! Great age related post!
My lovely mother, Trudy.
I turned into my mother yesterday. It’s good because Mom was fun, neurotic and beautiful until the day she died. It’s bad because at the age of 55, I became . . . gasp . . . a youthful senior citizen. It’s been looming for awhile, this thing called old age: worsening eyesight, wrinkles, diminishing physical ability. But yesterday, my intermittent knee pain hit with a vengeance while it was raining. Dear God, I’ve gotten to the point where I can predict the weather with my arthritic knees. I remember my mother talking about rain as she flexed stubby gnarled fingers. I would listen half-heartedly, mildly amused, a little grossed out. And now, sadly, it’s me.
There are a lot of awful, yet fairly universal, things that happen as you age. Since doctor’s don’t hand out pamphlets on what to expect, although they should – Dip…

Today, we’ve learned that Paul Ryan, the leader of the Republican Party in the United States of America, where I live and work, has stated his party’s intentions to defund Planned Parenthood. With that in mind, I thought I would share some brief history. In 1800, the average birth rate for the American woman was […]

That evening’s trip proved yes, you can take acid at 60 and survive. The purer, the better (naturally), but we aren’t always privy to personal chemists, regardless your age. It’s not easy to hunt up a LSD cooker. I could have done one last venture on psychedelic mushrooms but kismet placed the man with Chinese […]

Right, when monkeys fly out of my ass! Really, don’t we have more important things to do in our country, you know like prepare for the Russians to take over.
Republicans have decided that they are prepared to spend billions to build the “big, beautiful wall” that Trump promised on the southern border. When it comes to investing in our children and our future, there is no more money. But when Trump promised to build a wall across the southern border, which he […]

This sounds like a great product for thinning hair! I know I’ll be trying it! Thanks Kathryn!
Happy Saturday! I admit, I hardly ever clean my make up brushes. I know it sounds gross, but I don’t have any skin issues, (other than getting old) so it’s never been an issue. I saw a post about this brush cleaner and thought I would give it a try. I’ve used liquid brush cleaners which worked okay, but they never seemed like they got the brushes that clean. That of course was when I actually would clean my brushes, like I don’t know, maybe once a year. Yuck! I don’t use my brushes for any liquid applications, so I didn’t think it was a big deal.
I bought this Japonesque Solid Brush Cleanser at where else, Ulta for $20. The package is two ounces, and I’m sure will last me for a very long time. I bought the unscented version, but it’s made with goat’s milk and smells delightful. I actually washed all 17 of my make up brushes. This soap did a great job and I used very little. I have an IT foundation brush that I use for powder foundation that probably was the dirtiest. That took several spins through to get really clean. The rest of my brushes, just one swipe. This really is a great product, and when I’ve used all of it in oh I don’t know ten years or so, I’ll definitely repurchase.
Here’s the description from Ulta’s website:
Maintain the beauty of your brushes with Japonesque’s gentle goat-milk cleansing balm in this Solid Brush Cleanser. Effective emollient formula quickly dissolves make-up and impurities to deep cleanse and condition your brush bristles for effortless professional brush cleaning. Freshly scented and coconut scented solid formulas deliver instant mess-free results and is the perfect travel-friendly cleansing companion.
Thanks for stopping by.
