~The Handbook of Beauty~

I don't know about you but during the summer for me the grooming seems to slip a bit. In anticipation of the family reunion with John's cousins that we are going to later this afternoon I'm about to head up stairs for an over haul.
Hum, let's see what this pretty Lady does to get herself in shape. OK, I have an old robe. Nope no makeup on for the last few days. I can wash my face. Hum, tired eye treatment....not so much. No time to fuss with new makeup ideas right now, moving on to #7. Face massage and mask, I can do that.
Off comes the old nail polish and face mask. What is a tired foot treatment? We'll save that for another day. Major pedicure work needed here. Exercise, check. Hair, check.
Well, you get the idea. Hope you've enjoyed this tour of my 35 cent beauty book and that you are enjoying this lovely weekend with a fresh mani & pedi and a sparkling scrubbed face.

Hugs,
Sue

  3. Hi Sue :)

    I just gave myself a mani pedi because my fingers and toes were scaring me LOL Why is it that beauty goes to the wayside when it's summertime? I'm off to pluck my eyebrows now ;)

  4. So after enlarging the photos so I could read the print... I smiled as that was similar to the routine I followed yesterday, but I'm wondering.....where is the advice about clipping the nose hair that has appeared since turning 50 and those pesky chin hairs:)....and then there's that whole business about being able to bend over and get ones toes close enough to see them to paint! Looks like a fun book tho - what year was it written?
