Body foundation

Hello!

I have put bronzer, and shimmer on the body before. Who hasn't? You know. The face, the arms, the legs. Sometimes the occasion calls for it. I would not trade the Scott Barns' Body Bling glow for anything. It is good!

I have not put body foundation on yet, but I would be willing to try the KKW Beauty Skin Perfecting Body Foundation. Kim Kardashian West, are you listening out there? The summer sun brings out the desire to touch up the skin in all of us. It can get uneven, with the best of efforts. And if you haven't seen the sun so far this year? Although I can't imagine it, you could probably use it more than the lot of us. Just saying!

It is way too hot for pantyhose. It has been here in the Sandhills region of North Carolina since early May. Even if it had not been, pantyhose are more irritant than attribute. I can not begin to tell you how many pairs I have ruined before they got past the ankles! I will go bare legged in 20-degree weather even, if I must! Well, I reckon I must!

Have fun in the sun whether you use shimmer, bronze or foundation this summer!

"Happy July 4th Week!"

Shalom!

A real good scrub

Hello!

If you know anything about me, you know that I like a good body scrub, and I think I have come up with one of the best. It is quite simple, really. I take equal amounts of sugar + salt, and add it to grits. I add it to the same amount of grits some of the time, but less at others. Little to no "rubbing it in," and you have nicely smooth skin for pennies on the dollar! Add essentials oils to it for a yum, yum, yummy smell!

A Kate Spade store opened at the Carolina Premium Outlets a few days ago! The word is, a Michael Kors store may open too! Bring it on!

There are 22 more days left until the first day of summer, Friday, June 21, 2019! Who would have thunk? It felt like summer days ago in this record breaking heat! Oh me, oh my.

"Happy Weekend!"

Shalom!

It's my birthday month, and I want seersucker!

Hello!

Oopsy daisy! It's been a while! I do apologize! No, I haven't been on an extended vacation. It is a bit of a long story; but, one day I will tell - almost all! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! But; I must admit, I had not blogged in so long it took nearly seven days for me to remember my password! Good grief! I know, right? Anyhow...

And do you know what else took a while? Figuring out how to shave under my arms! Gosh, darn! Instead of going up and down, or down and up, go sideways! It takes less of a swipe! Call it easier on the skin, if you will. Just saying...

Do you know what I am craving? No, it is not chocolate! That was yesterday! Today, it's seersucker! What a fabric for this early hot, humid Sandhills weather! I do declare! Put in on sale; already, will 'ya?

I'm into pearls, too! For a real humdinger of a pearl necklace, the seemingly endless 80" pearls are all of that and a bag of chips! I am telling you!

The month is quickly coming to close! I'd better make my move on that seersucker, and the pearls pretty soon! I consider it 'early Christmas gifts!' Speaking of which, there are 217 days left until Christmas, Wednesday, December 25, 2019! Mark that on your calendar!   

"Happy Thursday!"

Shalom!

A blanket is a coat too

Hello!

Well, it goes something like this!

It was cold yesterday. For us here in the Sandhills, anyways. So I wore "a pink bubble jacket," with a zip on/off hoodie. In other words, a down jacket, or a puffer jacket. It was; needless to say, pretty warm. I even started sweating, but I didn't dare take it off.

This southern born and bred gal likes cold weather, but also likes to stay warm - without the bulkiness that that usually entails. It is still cold outside today, but I could not even begin to think about wearing the "pink bubble jacket" again. Maybe another day! I tried on various silk, denim and wool jackets. Nothing was quite doing it for me.

Off to the bed I go from the wardrobe; be that as it may, thinking. Then it hit me! There on my bed was "an orange crush" blanket for one! It was perfect for my tan wool fedora with a floral brooch, deep green long sleeve velvet blouse, gray corduroy slacks, and navy flats! It popped, as we like to say in the fashion industry! And, it is fun to wear too. Call it something different from the usual, if you will.

The blanket for one can be wrapped at least two (2) different ways! There are more I know, but I didn't have the time to experiment this A.M. It can be folded into a triangle; for one, and laid across the back with the narrow ends facing forward. Tie, if you would like. It can also be folded in half, and tucked over a shoulder or under one or both arms. Pin together with a brooch (or a clothes pin - ha, ha, ha), if you would like. I opted for the latter. It was quite easy, really.

Duh, you are probably saying! People do it all the time! I don't, but it sure is fun!

"Happy Wednesday!"

Shalom!

Grits + butter = smooth feet!

Hello!

When it comes to beauty, I like nat-u-ral!

Quite by accident, I discovered that ---

1)  Grits make a great exfoliator! For the hands, the elbows, the knees, and the feet! Especially, the feet! But, it's also good for the entire body! Who knew? I knew, that's who!

2)  Slathering room temperature butter on freshly exfoliated, damp hands, elbows, knees and feet is such an aaaaah moment!

But just so that you know, I do not apply butter to the entire body. I do apply a tiny amount on the face and neck before or after regular moisturizer, if I need a little something extra. Shucks, I rarely ever even "lotion up!" I don't often need to! It must be all of the water I try to chug-a-lug, and the fruit and vegetables I try to eat! Yes! Yes!

"Happy Today!"

Shalom!

Angela

Best sweet potato pie ever

Hello!

The best sweet potato pie ever was made ... by me! But, who else?!!!

It is all about the method, a more sure and efficient method, I might add!

"Do not boil the sweet potatoes!" It dilutes the natural flavor to pert near nothing, and 'ya try to regain it all by adding a ton of sugar! It ain't necessary!   

Peel, wash, grate, mix other ingredients in, bake! Done! Mmmmm, mmmmm, good!

Don't believe me? Try it, you'll like it!

"Happy Today!"

Shalom!

Angela
