DIY BEAUTY, LIP GLOSS

-




There was an advantage to working with
young women before I retired.  Some of
then knew the best beauty tips and tricks.
I would of try them out if I thought  they 
were age appropriate for me.  Here are 
some DIY lip glosses I have made. The
web sites I have also included have DIY
recipes for lip gloss.





DIY BERRY FLAVOR LIP GLOSS

 1 pack favorite flavor drink mix
petroleum jelly
empty recycled container
( mint tin or juice  bottle cap)
small recycled mixing  container
disposable gloves
old newspaper or towel

 Prep your work surface with newspaper or 
old towel. In a micro-wave safe container, 
heat jelly until melted. Jelly will be very hot
BE CAREFUL!  Carefully remove melted jelly 
and  add drink mix until you get the desired
shade you like. I wear disposable gloves to 
avoid getting stained hands.  Stir and mix
until drink mix has completely dissolved. 
Fill up your container and let lip gloss cool. 

 TIP:  

 Save the caps off my 64 oz bottles of juice
or save my mint tins  to use for 
my lip gloss.

 Use pre-sweetened  drink mixes if think lip
gloss is too tart! 














CHOCOLATE LIP GLOSS

 cocoa powder
petroleum jelly
empty recycled container
( mint tin or juice  bottle cap)
small recycled mixing  container
disposable gloves
old newspaper or towel

Prep your work surface with old newspaper
or old towel. In a micro-wave safe container,

BE CAREFUL!  Carefully remove melted jelly 
and add cocoa  until you get desired shade
of brown.  I wear gloves to avoid getting 
stained hands. Stir and mix until the drink
mix has completely dissolved.  Fill up your 
container and let lip gloss cool. 

 TIP:

 Substitute ground cinnamon, allspice, or pumpkin
pie spice for cocoa

HOW I AM AGING GRACEFULLY, WELLNESS

  I didn't want to acknowledge that I was  getting older.I got offended when store clerks said, Yes ma'am".  I realized that age 40 was old to most young people. I couldn't deny aging any longer when I  fell one morning sprinting out of bed.My friends and I had a good laugh because  all of them had fallen out of bed too.We shared our techniques for arising safely out of bed each morning.  We check to see which joints are working.I admitted that I  hold onto the wall until my joints loosen up. Most days my joints tell me  when a storm is coming.  I have had a few allergic reactions  pop up to foods  I have been eating since childhood.This is very annoying.I would be devastated if I ever developed any allergy to coffee or chocolate. I have to make my coffee  weaker now and I can live with that!! I can eat too much dark chocolate since it gives me indigestion.   Hey,  I know what to do. I'm resourceful, I only eat a little at a tim

SPANISH LLADRO ANGEL FIGURINES SENIOR MOMENT COLLECTIBLES (SMC) I began collecting angels after  I saw an article in the guide post  magazine. The lady had a picture of her angel collection on the first page. I thought this was a great  hobby. Now I have three curio cabinets full of angels. My husband realized I was  a serious about my angel collection. He began buying me beautiful angels for my Christmas present.  He even  bought me the curio cabinets to put them in.  I even had friends who collected  frogs, elephants, penguins, and sock monkeys. We helped each  other hunt for collectibles.Some of them bought me angels when  they traveled overseas. I have   beautiful angels from Africa and Hawaii because of my traveling friends. MY TIPS FOR COLLECTING: * Do research on the Internet for list of items people collect * Choose one item that interest you.  Some people do theme collecting like vintage toy

THE JEAN SCENE 4 WOMEN!

I love wearing jeans. They are  more enjoyable when they fit well. They flatter your figure. I am very envious when I see  a classy senior lady looking good in her denim outfit. I  have seen that crisp white  shirt, flattering jeans and a nice pair of boots. I was inspired to put more effort  into my attire after I saw a jeans show on Rachel Ray show.  Her guest explained that you have to find the correct jeans for your  body type.  I know they make  skinny jeans to fit every woman, but I must pass on this style. I have seen some denim styles that  I have tried to copy. They are classy and flattering. Here are some of the styles:
