Time for a little Club Sheba

Oh, Sheba, we all loved Jackie. So elegant…everyone wanted to emulate her.

My friend Gloria met her before the inauguration and was at the inauguration with the VIPs. She said Jackie was the most exquisite woman. Truly an icon.

@loaf,

Missing you much. I hope all is well in your neck of the woods. 🙂 We have a lot of rain. ♥

Hugs to you Loaf. ♥

@bichon18,

Being Truly Thankful

Our gratitude deepens when we begin to be thankful for being alive and living the life we are living.

Often when we practice being thankful, we go through the process of counting our blessings, acknowledging the wonderful people, things and places that make up our reality. While it is fine to be grateful for the good fortune we have accumulated, true thankfulness stems from a powerful comprehension of the gift of simply being alive, and when we feel it, we feel it regardless of our circumstances. In this deep state of gratitude, we recognize the purity of the experience of being, in and of itself, and our thankfulness is part and parcel of our awareness that we are one with this great mystery that is life.

It is difficult for most of us to access this level of consciousness as we are very caught up in the ups and downs of our individual experiences in the world. The thing to remember about the world, though, is that it ebbs and flows, expands and contracts, gives and takes, and is by its very nature somewhat unreliable. If we only feel gratitude when it serves our desires, this is not true thankfulness. No one is exempt from the twists and turns of fate, which may, at any time, take the possessions, situations, and people we love away from us. Ironically, it is sometimes this kind of loss that awakens us to a thankfulness that goes deeper than just being grateful when things go our way. Illness and near-miss accidents can also serve as wake-up calls to the deeper realization that we are truly lucky to be alive.

We do not have to wait to be shaken to experience this state of being truly thankful for our lives. Tuning in to our breath and making an effort to be fully present for a set period of time each day can do wonders for our ability to connect with true gratitude. We can also awaken ourselves with the intention to be more aware of the unconditional generosity of the life force that flows through us regardless of our circumstances. AMEN!

Cherie,

Good Morning to you and Captain yeah I sure do remember how he got that name.
Amy named my husband and she was spot on. ♥ Prayers to Kitten as I believe yesterday
was an appt. for her.

I will talk about the ENDGAME in a couple of weeks I don’t want to spoil it. I will see it
sometime this week. Escape it is but also fun and enjoyable. 🙂

Cinco de Mayo is Sunday. I love Mexican Food. ♥ Have a great date I plan on one too.
Cherie many thanks to your mom and I put up a lot of details on the SKINN Care Line. ♥
Like Amy I am waiting for the presentation. 🙂

@southernlights55,

I still think it is a great idea to help those in need. Great job thinking of others. 🙂

Southern you are lucky to live on a high hill. We have mild flooding but it’s not over.

I am trying to stay dry it’s the chill in the air that gets to me so I have to wear a light
Marla Wynne Jacket out with Poppy. It’s all good because I know the dog days of summer
will be horrible. I am going to enjoy this slight cool spell. ♥

Skincare Products For Your Skin | SKINN Cosmetics

Skin is the biggest organ of the human body, so why skimp when it comes to a beauty routine? Keeping a consistent skin regime with quality ingredients I can trust is key to getting that youthful, dewy glow. Ok, maybe I don’t want to look exactly like a Kardashian, but a little skin refreshing is always on my to-do list.

With literally thousands of options, it can be hard to cut through the clutter and get to the skincare products that actually produce results. Skinn Cosmetics is no newbie to the world of beauty. They pride themselves on only using the most effective ingredients, no fuss packaging and focus on results that speak for themselves. That’s why I’m getting all the heart eyes that they are now available at HSN! From cult favorites to cutting edge innovations, read on for the top 10 beauty must-have products that will get you fresh-faced and fabulous.

Exfoliate
Say goodbye to dull skin with fan favorite DermAppeal Microderm Abrasion Beauty Treatment. Reveal the soft, supple skin just below the surface using the unique power of VC5 Crystal Technology, a formulation with five stabilized forms of Vitamin C. It’s a refreshing way to get a spa-like treatment at home, without the spa price! Try the version formulated for the body and the neck area to get that new skin rejuvenation feeling from head to toe.

Protect
A serum is going to deliver a highly concentrated dose of skin loving ingredients and really set the foundation of your beauty routine. After cleansing, rub the PEP40 Sérum Riche Multi-Matrix With 40% Peptide Complex in circular motions to help to tighten, plump and firm the look of skin. Packed with powerful polypeptides that work to stimulate collagen production, this exclusive to HSN serum is the perfect blend of science and practicality. For a serum that boosts the power of healthy olive oil to hydrate and protects the delicate facial skin, try the Oleo Anti-Aging Serum. This one works hard to keep the moisture in and the bad stuff like air pollution, out.

Don’t forget about the skin just to the south of the face, the overlooked neck area. Neck skin can get particularly thin and increase in sagging as we age–no thanks! Adding a serum that is designed specifically for this delicate area to your skincare routine can help to lift, moisturize and gently exfoliate. Apply the Skinn Cosmetics Neck Armour Serum to the neck, décolleté and jawline with upward strokes after cleansing for a radiant, firm glow.

Hydrate
After serums, nothing is more important than an ultra-effective moisturizer to hydrate, plump and protect the skin from environmental irritants. Get a dose of powerful fruit and hyaluronic acids with the luxurious PEP40 Peptide Skincare Face Cream. Smooth on after the PEP40 Serum twice a day for an improved look of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin radiance.

If uneven skin tone is your beauty nemesis, fight back with the Skinn Cosmetics Collagensis Crème Reverse Intensive Daily Treatment. This rich and intense multi-tasking best buy has been proven to help diminish the visible signs of aging while improving skin texture and tone. There’s even an option that works while you sleep–it’s like your beauty superhero!

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul so keep those peepers fresh and cool with the innovative Skinn Cosmetics Ice Depuffing Eye Moisture Balm. Toss this handy eye treatment in your bag to soothe and improve the appearance of puffy or tired eyes. The botanical extracts will deliver a cooling sensation that will leave you feeling refreshed, whenever you need it!

This is my look today as we are chilly and raining. 🙂
