Skin Lightening Treatments

Donna — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 01:33:50 +0000

Last week I was watching some late night talk show that had the great Janet Jackson on. I haven’t seen the beautiful Janet Jackson in a while so I was glad to see that she is still around, busy as ever and looking great. I know how hard her brother’s (Michael Jackson) death was on the entire family, but they are still standing strong and plan on still entertaining the world the way they all ways have through out the years.

I couldn’t help wonder if she was using some type of skin lightening product, much like the skin lightening treatments that Michael became famous for using. The pictures of the both of them from back in the day definitely look like a skin lightening product has been used as well as a good amount of plastic surgery all the way around. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have an issue with cosmetic surgery or skin lightening products. I just wish that they were more up front and honest about it, when it is so apparent to everyone that their appearances have been altered. It’s really no big deal now a days. I do believe you would be hard put to find a celebrity that hasn’t tried to alter their looks.

University of Alabama Apparel

Donna — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:19:07 +0000

For Christmas I found the best deals on some University of Alabama shirts that I just couldn’t pass up to get for a friend at work who went to that university a few years back. When she moved up here a lot of her belongings were lost in the move and she really was into her Alabama apparel and was really broken hearted when all of hers went missing.

We have become quite close this past year and so. We have started eating lunch together most days and have gone out a few times after work on a more personal level, which has been fun. I don’t have a lot of friends here, I left all of my friends when I moved down here almost 7 years ago. It’s hard to make new friends when you are a mother and work full time, there isn’t a lot of time for me and my needs, so it works out well to have a good friend at work considering how much time we spend at work.

It was so cool to draw her name at out Christmas gift exchange this year since I knew what would really float her boat this year. So many times you get stuck with a name for someone you really don’t know or like and it can be tricky finding the perfect gift. I really hate just buying a generic gift for anyone, putting a little thought and consideration can go a long way when you buy a present for someone.

Fur Jackets and Fur Vests

Donna — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 23:43:35 +0000

Been taking some time checking out various fur jackets for sale online. I received numerous gift cards for Christmas that I am taking my time deciding and researching before jumping in and actually using them on a shopping excursion. I’d love to use the gift cards for fun things, but in actuality there are more important things that I could be using them on and a nice fur jacket would be splendid.

Today’s fur vests are cool also, something that I’ve been interested in checking out for some time so I’ve been looking at fur vests for sale as well on the good old World Wide Web tonight. We have had a very mild winter so far, but I just know that we will be paying for that later on down the road and I’d like to have nice warm outer clothing on to help keep me toasty warm. Cold weather and I just don’t see eye to eye these past couple of years so I’m grateful for the mild winter so far. But nothing good lasts forever, am I right?

Man I can’t wait for spring.

Skin Care Issues

Donna — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 04:20:37 +0000

My oldest daughter will be celebrating another birthday next month. The birthday’s just keep coming and coming, don’t they? Coming from a large family, there is always a birthday or anniversary looming just up ahead.We have so many that now we try to focus on just the kids when it comes to gift cards and Christmas presents.

This kid has always had sensitive skin and then when puberty hit she has had her hands full dealing with acne and still is. I’m not surprised, I still have occasional break outs and I’m and old lady in need of some anti-aging light therapy. Your face is never not in need of some type of special care for heaven’s sake.

Check out this cool info-graphic that I found and sent to my daughter for her to see, learn and possibly enjoy as well.

Argan Conditioner and Argan Shampoo

Donna — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 22:36:10 +0000

Last night I finally tried the Argan Shampoo and Argan Conditioner that I received as a gift for Christmas through our Secret Santa party at work and I have to tell you that I am really impressed with the way this stuff makes my hair feel and look. They combine seaweed extract with Argan oil and Vitamin E so that it gently cleans and moisturizes the scalp and the hair and by golly it really works wonders. I’ll have to make sure and thank the co worker that drew my name, it is suppossed to be a secret but secrets are impossible to keep around that place!

Happy Birthday, Mom

Donna — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 19:36:48 +0000

It’s my mom’s birthday. I have to look up the date of the year and do the math to figure out how old she is, but I have to do that with everyone in the family now. The only one I know exactly how old they are is my brother, who is exactly 10 years younger than me.

I sent mom a Hallmark card and a gift card to a nice restaurant, so hopefully she will have a nice meal without having to cook. She was planning a nice quiet day at home, hope she enjoys her special day.

Pro Plants

Donna — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 04:09:11 +0000

The center pieces that I ordered from http://www.proplants.com/ were a bit hit at yesterday’s Christmas dinner. My mother is a very difficult person to please, she seems to always find something to find fault with each and every time I host an event at my house. Last year she was very unhappy with the decorative turkeys that I used for centerpieces at Thanksgiving, she didn’t like the fact that she had to look at a turkey butt during the whole meal! This year she was most pleased with my selection from ProPlants.

Got Herself A Raleigh Accountant

Donna — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 03:43:37 +0000

Just got started settling in after the big Christmas dinner when the house phone rang with an old school friend on the other end calling to wish me a Merry Christmas. This was just so totally out of the blue since we don’t really communicate with each other all that much, but it was really cool hearing from her. She just recently married a nice looking raleigh accountant and moved south to live out the rest of her years in the warmer weather than she has been dealing with in Vermont for the past 25 years or so.

That was a nice Christmas surprise hearing from her, a nice way to end the day of Christmas 2011.

Was Santa Good to You?

Donna — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 23:38:40 +0000

Hope you had a nice Christmas. We had a quiet day, with a few nice gifts and lots of good food. I appreciated the quiet part – I don’t really like a lot of noise and swarms of people. It is much nicer to have a few good people close by your side.

Five Days and Counting

Donna — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 13:46:03 +0000

Just can’t get in the mood for Christmas shopping, but I realize that we are just 5 days away from Santa’s descent down my chimney. So I had better get busy. There are several people out of town that I won’t get to see in person this year, so I’m plucking a variety of giftcards from the kiosk at Kroger and sending out lots of cards this year. They today is the deadline to get things mailed using regular Post Office mail, so I’m heading out early and getting as much done today as I can do.
