I wish I had a regimen to share with you but I'm lazy as can be, and I know, soon, I will be reaping the consequences of it! Glad your trying the natural stuff though, I think it will be so much better in the end! White eggplant? Saw 1 before, passed on it, but maybe not now!

We will take that over brutal winter any day!<br /><br />We have had quite a bit of rain but looking at the flowers and plant growth I would say Spring is here.

Okay, don't worry about all the head butting; my sister and her husband are doing exactly that, right now, while house hunting - it's only natural. I mean, we can't always agree on everything, right? I'm sure you will find the perfect chairs that you both love.<br /><br />The beach-y bathroom tile is beautiful. I'd definitely go for this, as it has a really pretty pearly effect, which reminds me of the sea.<br /><br />Yes, it seems that everytime you turn around, there's a new wave of skincare products and techniques that promise to help slow down the aging process. I've been blessed with pretty good skin for my age, but just as a good friend warned me a while ago, 'wait until your menopausal/turn 50, the differences start to show up quickly'. Guess what? She's right! (in my case, anyway):((<br /><br />Have a lovely week!<br /><br />xo<br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-14325644829120067432015-04-27T08:03:39.095-05:002015-04-27T08:03:39.095-05:00Hi Janie! You're always such a busy gal! Sorry...Hi Janie! You're always such a busy gal! Sorry about your weather - I understand as we've been teased with some warm weather and now it's cold again! Good luck on your chairs search. Looks like it was spa time at your house. How nice to find something that works so well. My skin has gone crazy since we've moved up here. From 100% humidity to complete dryness - my skin feels like sand paper. I'm poking stuff on it all the time! Anyway, about the Sherwin Williams Biscuit paint color - it's a very light beige color. I don't think there's any gray in it. It is just dark enough that it really looks good against the white molding. Good luck with your paint search too.<br />Be a sweetie,<br />Shelia ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-36792852632923311082015-04-26T14:43:40.714-05:002015-04-26T14:43:40.714-05:00OMGosh your cheesecake looks delish.

I bought some pansies for our open house last week. Congratulations on your writing. You will do well as you write so well. I think I told you that I had sarcomas in my leg 24 years ago.

David and I rarely go anywhere on week nights either. We just like to nest. Have you tried any of the CeraVe products? They are full of ceramides, niacinamides and hyaluronic acid, all of which are very good for the skin. Their products can be found at Walgreens and CVS. I will be anxious to see what you find for your bathroom. I am trying to decided what to do with the guest bath right now.<br /><br />Big Texas Hugs,<br />Susan and BentleySusan Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323206599839838089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-60009852852758586622015-04-22T01:15:15.852-05:002015-04-22T01:15:15.852-05:00Oh--weather!
