Oh lashes, where have you gone?

One of the many joys of after 40 life in my experience has been lash thinning. My once luxurious, black, batting, eyelashes, are now lighter in color, and very sparse. Darn aging crap. I comfort myself with the idea that all of the wisdom I have obtained all of these years is beginning to crowd out my beauty juju--- and oh, I do want to be wise. So like any strong woman, I adapt.



There are products that can help.  I have tried Latisse with good results.  It does have a few downsides-- price, requires discipline, you must follow the directions to get results-- so for the rebels among us it is a waste of money.

I have also heard good things about some of the other serums out there, though I have never tried them personally.  I have many a recipe for DIY serums and mascara formulas involving coconut oil and charcoal, but let's be honest-- ain't nobody got time for that.

But, low and behold, I have found a product that gives me long luscious looking lashes, in my budget, with no discipline required.  If you haven't tried it yet, you should.  It is no hype, it works.  Like anything worth having, it takes a little practice.  You may find it irritating at first.  But friend, it is worth it.  It is Younique's 3D fiber lashes.

 I don't sell it, I don't even have allegiance to a particular Younique rep, but you should be able to find someone who sells it easily enough.  Be careful though, you want to make sure you are working with someone who is actively working their business, not someone who is trying to get rid of old inventory.  This is important, because this product is amazing, but has a shelf life.  If it is old it is very irritating, it'll burn your eyes out, and that is NOT pretty.  I am not implying that the stuff is toxic.  If you want toxic, you can find it in just about every mascara on the market, nasty stuff.  3D fiber lashes is made with green tea fibers, and the placement gel dries out and loses it's effectiveness after 3-4 months, leaving you with fibers in your eyes.  This is not a bad thing. You should be throwing away your mascara every 3-4 months anyway, they are doing you a favor.


You will still need a base of mascara before applying the 3D fiber lashes.  I recommend using a less toxic version.  There are a few good ones out there.  I am partial to Ava Anderson.  It doesn't deliver big amazing lashes, but it does provide a nice, safe base, for your 3D lashes.

Enjoy! Please share this with your friends!

Networking can be expensive!

I went to a cool women's networking meeting the other night. It was with an organization called Heartlink . It was at some one's house. An awesome dinner was served. Tables set, lovely hospitality, and about 20 very interesting women were there. We each got 3 minutes to introduce ourselves and tell a bit about our business's. Most of the women knew each other already. Many of the women present had business's that sell through direct marketing. Most of the big ones were represented, and a few new ones I had never heard of but found interesting. There were also women with other business's like insurance, legal services, printing, etc... It is great to meet like minded people, and I can definitely see the benefits of attending regularly. The bad part however, is it leaves you wanting to go shopping! All of a sudden, I MUST have the new mango cutter from Pampered Chef, and I am yearning to freshen up my candles, and I NEED a hole new wardrobe from CABi . ...

The Sky is Blue

I want to thank all of you who lift my family up in prayer.  I thank all of you who give us encouragement.  I try really hard to see the cup 1/2 full, and most days I do.  I was feeling a little down last night, but today is a new day.  Blue skies remind me of how much I am loved.  Have an awesome day friends. And.....on a side note.... Go Viewpoint Patriots!!! We are in the playoffs! Wooo Hoooooo!

I believe

I believe....... That marriage is a lifetime gig That it is up to us to take care of those in need, through families, churches, relationships, etc... That family is serious business, parenthood is a gift, a treasure, something to take dead dog serious. That I have a right, and a responsibility to protect my family and those who can't protect themselves, from would be criminals, and anyone else who is attempting to infringe on our rights as stated in our constitution. I believe that without faith in God, and a conscious decision to submit to him, people are lost in a pool of ever changing self centered nonsense, and are subject to what ever the politically correct, hip, educated mantra of the year is. Stuff is awesome, shiny cars, flashy jewels, exotic vacations, are all delightful--- for a little while--then when the shiny wears off, and the financial impact starts hurting--- the result is damage to the most important thing--- family, and submission to God.
