An All Over the Place Long Post: You Have Been Warned
*Let's start with cats. Hee hee.
This is Pippa. She was my foster 3 years ago.
She is Beatles' mom.
She is STILL waiting to go home with somebody.
Pippa doesn't show well. She often just sleeps during visitor hours.
She has come a really long way.
She is very particular.
She likes to drink from the cat room faucet.
She loves the laser pointer.
You just cannot force yourself on Pippa.
I've seen her come to really love one or two cat room attendants over the years.
She needs an old experienced cat person to adopt her.
If you know of anyone who wants to even try by fostering her first, please let me know. I have seen a soft side of her and I think she has potential.
* On with the next thing: products.
I still love the smell of Noxzema.
It was the first thing I bought as a teen ager on my own.
I still love a good Noxzema wash.
I was considering buying the Clarisonic, but I think I won't.
I know they are expensive, but so is a facial right?
Something tells me it will just sit on the vanity.
What do you think?
I tried the Benefit dark circle eye cream.
I still have dark circles.
You know what works?
A sun tan.
Too bad I don't want skin cancer..
or I'd just get more sun.
What's your secret to getting rid of dark eye circles?
* I love to photograph farms.
I don't particularly like to photograph cities at all.
Considering the amount of dirt I see on The Incredible Doctor Pol series, you'd think a city could not be dirtier than a farm.
In my mind, farms are so beautiful that even the poop can't make it less beautiful.
*Sometimes I have a deep desire to raise animals.
I know everyone says rabbits poop and poop and poop.
If I ever live in the country, I will raise cute fluffy angora rabbits.
I swear I will.
Please don't tell Fireman this.
Some dreams need to be kept under wraps.
*Do you have a dream you keep to yourself?

My secret dream is a world without snakes in it!! Now all the nature people can jump on me. Every time I say I hate snakes and kill every one that I find in our yard, someone tells me how wrong that is. So I try to keep my feelings a secret.
Meh to the clarisonic, sounds like a great idea but I cannot be faffed with spending half an hour on a bedtime 'ritual' with a dozen pre-cleanse, cleanse and après-cleans products before doing serum, oil and moisture. Does the day really need so rigorously sucked from your face then everything you took out replaced with stuff from a jar? I love beauty potions and gadgets but if its at the expense of extra snooze time then its straight in the bin!

Ps the only cure for dark circles is even darker sunglasses as nothing really works. I've tried everything from drinking gallons of water and grated spuds on my dark circles (apparently a miracle cure) to mega expensive creams and serums (guaranteed to work) and I still have dark circles that scare me. If you find the solution do let me know.
I use Dove soap and Neutragena moisturizer - that's it. Anything else causes Rosacea to flare.
Secondly, I've never found anything that helps with dark circles. TONS of things for puffiness, though. I don't have Puffy, I have Darkness.
Thirdly, the smell of Noxzema is so strong in my nose/brain right now. . .
I've given up on dark circles. I use concealer that lightens them up a bit. And I just started using lemon juice on a cotton ball in the morning and evening under my organic moisturizer. I'll let you know if it lightens them up.
I love the smell of Noxzema too, but I can't use it. There is something in it that makes me break out in a terrible rash. Maybe I could just buy a jar and take a sniff now and then.
I love Noxema also and it keeps my skin fairly moisturized. And...fortunately I don't have dark circles to worry about.
I hope Pippa finds her furever home soon - she looks sweet.
I stopped looking in the mirror at 60, It serves no purpose other than to upset me. Nature has to take its course. Sigh....
Scary night for storms, eh? I was worried to death about Son in Michigan.
Yes, rabbits make a lot of piles of poop, but they sure are cute! (I'm hoping that bunny poop makes great fertilizer for the grass, because they dropped a lot on my little plot of grass this winter!)
Anyhow, I cannot believe you just brought up Noxema?!? Crazypants! I want to run out and open a jar in the nearest drugstore and huff it now. As you can see, I'm bonkers for the smell too. Yes, it smells like my youth to me, in a good way :)
Your posts are always good Kathy. I like hearing you think.
Hugs,
Meredith
