I love my lips! My dentist commented on them once years ago and it stuck with me -- that he sees a lot of lips, and if he thought mine were great, then I must at least have that going for me! :) The power of a compliment!

Lisa - I love your blog. Really takes me away. I especially love reading about and trying out your beauty finds. I'll have to go with the shopping carts too. I always put mine away because I watch those poor young guys straining their backs to return them and I hurt too. Love, Kat
ReplyDeleteSunny days and beautiful sky anytime of day or night
ReplyDeleteDate-walking anywhere. Sitting in a canoe while my husband fishes.
I am 44 - wife to awesomeness, mom to 5 (4 original + 1 in-law), nona to 4 AND I want to be an artist when I grow up :) I'm finally getting back to my art after years of leaving it on the back burner (raising kids, homeschooling for a time, helping my 11 year old battle cancer and 2 subsequent relapses - now 18 and in remission currently, PTL!). YOU ARE AN ENCOURAGEMENT AND INSPIRATION TO ME - thank you! I had to chuckle at how many of these I would have answered very similarly….yes!… gray all the way! And ALWAYS in my kitchen: avocados, sweet potatoes, almond butter, and black licorice
ReplyDeleteFavorite Music: I like a lot of music, but lately I've been listening to a lot of P!nk, both her solo stuff, and her collaboration work (going by her given name, Alecia Moore) with Dallas Green as the duo You+Me.
