What's new

Greetings friends. There is so much going on right now that I have decided to wait for another time to write a post about it. In the meantime, this is it. Since I bought the battery operated candles (below) I have noticed that they keep going on an off on their own. Which is very strange as they are just plain handmade candles - nothing special about them. I almost think it may be my mom's spirit in the house as her urn is living with us still ...

Last weekend, I won an Avon bag from playing a punchboard at the Sinking Spring VFW - I spent $11.00 and got two signers. The first prize was handmade jewelry and I won the second prize ...  

I purchased yet another colored mascara on EBAY from Chanel  called Noir Allure mascara. I was reluctant to try an orange color, but this one looked rather dark so I thought I would give it a try ...

Chanel Noir Allure Mascara "Orange Bruni" - (Dark Orange)

I really liked it and so I decided to also order the other two colors from EBAY from the Chanel Noir Allure mascara collection ...

Chanel Noir  Allure Mascara "Lila"- (Lavender/Light Purple)

   "Rouge Intense" - (Bright Orange-ish)

Any of these colors could be worn for the Fall/Autumn holidays!

And last but not least, a few new kitty pics....

This and That ...

Blessed Sunday everyone! Just a quick post for today. My mermaid and merman earrings from ETSY arrived this past week. They are a bit smaller than I thought they would be, but I really love them! ...

Yesterday, I finally got my (much overdue) hair cut ...

Odds and Ends

Greetings, friends (and whomever else happens to still be reading my blog anymore). Not much exciting is going on lately so I am just writing about little things. Next Saturday, I am finally going to get my hair cut after almost seven months. My hair grows fast and I can not wait to get it cut. For many years I refused to wear my hair short, but since I had gotten it cut a few years ago in order to look more appropriate (in my view anyhow it looked a lot more professional at my age) for job interviews, I found that I really liked it and I wanted to keep it short from now on.

Seven months ago ... 

Now ...

I love to play with colored mascaras mainly because they are a lot of fun. So I could not wait to try out ColourPop's BFF new color, "Swell Season" which is actually teal in color ...

I very seldom wear eye shadow anymore, but I really love their shimmer line so I also tried these two new shades ...

"Ladybird" .

"Roy G. Biv"

"Obvi"

"Purple Prose" and "Pink, Inc."

"Blew Ya' Mind" (colbalt blue)

I have recently begun using L'Oreal Voluminous White Primer for my lashes. It not only helps to lengthen your lashes, but also brings out the color of the mascara you are using ... 

I also found another ColourPop shade which it would appear was discontinued at some point. It is called, "Sugar Pie" and I am dying to see what it looks like. I saw it on Ebay this weekend and ordered it. It was fairly cheap so I figured "why not" ...

"Sugar Pie"

Just a quick word about these Colourpop colored mascaras. They are pretty; however, you need to apply at least two coats in order to see, them on your lashes. But, they are quite affordable and you get more "bang for your buck" than with many of the other brands I have found. 

Yesterday, hubby went to Petsmart for some cat supplies and brought home a special little goody for me ... lol

This and That

Even though the holiday is officially over and it is now the weekend, still, the noisy fireworks continue to terrify our cats. But, the fur baby I feel the most sorry for is Charlie, our outside kitty. I hope he is okay - he never showed up last night for his dinner as he so religiously does. Hopefully, he was just hiding out somewhere SAFE!

I just found out this past week that an old friend and acquaintance,  Mike "Magoo" (his nickname) from Flanagan's Pub had passed away of a heart attack. Mike had been a local patron since the opening of Flanagan's Pub in 1982. I loved his personality - always offering a smile and an interesting story or two ...

A snapshot of "Magoo" and me.

I most especially enjoyed his stories from New Orleans about "Madam Laveau". 

So, who exactly is "Madam Marie Laveau"?:
