Eucerin Calming Creme
January 16, 2009
When Al and I were getting ready to move from Atlanta to the greater Chicago area, I spent hours on end shopping the catalogs and eBay for snow boots, down coats, wool hats and scarves and tiny lil snowsuits for my sweet baby Bean.

I know you're thinking, oh no she didn't...and I'm sayin...oh yes I did!! I heard a "supah stah" talk about how she used a raw egg as a facial mask and I thought, what the heck, my face hasn't been masked in a few months, weeks, days, I could probably manage this type of mask.

Lucscious Lashes for a Price
January 4, 2009
I've always been blessed with long lashes, but in recent years I've noticed them thinning a bit. I don't know if this is supposed to happen in old age or if I have some undiagnosed disease or what (I'll go with old age, if you don't mind) but it certainly wasn't part of my master plan.
