AS WE WERE EATING CHEESY BROCCOLI SOUP, I saw a parked car through the window curtains that got my attention. On the porch popped an image of Lil Miss. She brought us HOMEMADE Cinnamon rolls. Yummers. She hadn't eaten LUNCH so we offered her some soup. She accepted.
Hot Soup Weather.
Got a nice visit in as well. The rolls were delicious by the way.
Hubby is taking a NAP as I type. We'll go to TOPEKA on a different day to return his too small house slippers. Perhaps we should wait until TUESDAY? No I need to get some Peanut Brittle to mail to my MOM. I'll have to sacrifice and not go on Tuesday when there's Senior Discount Day at the thrift shoppe. ha.
CHRISTMAS is quickly sneaking up on me.
Lil Miss coming over was a nice surprise. Being that I am still in my navy blue velour housecoat with messy bun on top of my head did not defer me from opening the front door to let her inside. There was a time in LIFE that I would not have been caught dead doing this. NO MAKE-UP? Mercy, I would have never been seen. These days I rarely wear make-up. Lipstick is common, but the whole eye glam workout, rarely.
I truly have relaxed about wearing make-up. I'm surprised I have changed so much and am comfortable with it. Fresh scrubbed face and smiles is the norm now. Some perfume. I look more AMISH than anything. I look like what a 68 year old use to look like before botox and facelifts became so popular.
I have moved from using facial cleansers with lots of chemicals to more natural substances. WITCH HAZEL for stringent which cleans additional dirt off the skin. ROSEWATER to moisturize and freshen up. Olive oil or Coconut oil for hair moisturizer. Same with skin moisturizer. As for natural treatments, I think this week I will pour white vinegar over my feet and soak them in a oversize pot.
In the Summer on a hot, sunshiny day, I will pour lemon juice over my hair and sit outside to let the sun bleach it lighter. That will be awhile though. Lemon juice works pretty well for a facial wipe.
Staying natural...can you believe it when added chemicals to products was supposedly going to make LIFE easier for us poor, backwards peeps in the midwest. In 2023, there is a back to nature MOVEMENT to be sauve in all areas of life. Foods, cosmetics, hair products, medicines, furniture, dishes, flooring, building supplies, cars, etc.
Interesting times we live in,
