A misnomer – aging gracefully; pretty words for a difficult time for many who face new dragons at this certain time in life where physical appearance changes, yet some women bow gracefully to the onslaught of face and body alterations.

I admire the attitudes of many women whom just accept the changes, but I am a polar opposite to that kind of acceptance. I will use my last ounce of vanity to seek out the best methods I can find to combat aging. Sure, it’s inevitable; I’m not immortal, but most likely, I’ll leave this world wearing something leopard, a pair of stilettos (if I’m not caught dead at home on my computer wearing slippers), and sporting my signature orange lipstick and flaming red hair. All of these things became a part of me at a younger age, and I’ve maintained them for decades, so why would I cave?

Helping others

Jul18

I do volunteer work for several non profit organizations.  This meme is from my husband’s cousin, who is a Roman Catholic priest living in Baltimore, Maryland.  Father Tom is a wonderful person. While I am not a religious person, I have family members who are and are complete hypocrites.  My brother had to do community service after being arrested for assault. He has a panel truck and goes to pick up items people donate to a women’s shelter.  What they don’t know is my asspipe brother takes these items then turns around and sells them.  The shelter only gets what he doesn’t want.

He’s ultra conservative and decries anyone who takes government assistance. Yet when his wife was tragically killed by a drunk driver, he had no problems collecting over $500k in Social Security for him and his two kids. Now if a person of color did the same thing, well they are one of the “takers” according to my brother.  Did I mention that he became rich overnight due to his wife’s death?  Needless to say he’s a Donald Trump supporter and told his adult daughter that if she didn’t vote for Trump, she wouldn’t be getting a different car.  Her current car is a piece of crap, that is a death trap.  Nice relatives I have.

Don’t get me started on my loser sister.

Happy Monday!

This unfortunately seems to apply to a lot of people I know.  I guess the greater good is lost on them.  I’m more about helping others, not seeing the latest selfie or someone’s dinner. I don’t look that different from day to day.  Plus I don’t need the self affirmation either. These people I speak of are in their 50’s.  If they were 20 somethings, I would give them a pass.

 

Summer Flower Mani

Jul14

Hello!  I found this YouTube mani last year and did a twist on it.  I used fuchsia polish as a base with white and yellow for accents.  I have a dotting tool kit I bought at Sally Beauty last year  Cina 5 Piece Dotting tool set for $10.  I’ve been having lots of fun doing my own nail art.  It definitely gets better the more you do it. I did it late last night.  It’s hard for me to have plain nails anymore.

 

Here is the blue flower mani from the video.  It’s easy to do and looks really pretty.
