Making beauty blogs personal again, online spaces of real women sharing their ideas and experience, instead of being a small publisher/marketer who owes brands to produce the most professional looking images that would sell the products for them.Gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561470171631737626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-12454302465782179352015-11-01T23:08:07.773-05:002015-11-01T23:08:07.773-05:00Yes, it is, Marsha.

It's one of the spare bedrooms at the front of the house (our master is in the back), and has two large closets (the storage bins you can see in some of the shots are for my dreaded project of sorting through my clothes). As you can see, the elliptical takes a massive space in the middle, so I can't wait until we build an actual gym and move it out of there. The walls not occupied by windows and closets are lined with Ikea Alex units. I can't sau that it's my dream setup, but nothing rivals the efficiency and modular versatility. <br />The large TV is to make working out a bit more tolerable (I can even project You Tube videos to the TV from my iPad. There's nothing like Lisa E, looking larger than life). Underneath it there's a book case that mostly holds fashion, makeup, perfume, and entertainment books, as well as royal biographies.Gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561470171631737626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-57731751227696640382015-10-28T11:45:35.645-04:002015-10-28T11:45:35.645-04:00Lovely shade of blue on you, I have to hunt for th...Lovely shade of blue on you, I have to hunt for this lovely shirt colour.

It feels so much more personal and realistic, so much more what I think blogging was originally meant to be, than the way many blogs are done these days.<br /><br />I love blue eye shadow with my brown/hazel (brown mixed with olive green and gray) eyes. I find I can wear true blues, blue/violets, true greens, and some yellow greens (mainly olive) as eye shadow, but blue/greens (like teal and turquoise) clash with the olive in my eyes and look weird, and pinky-purple eyeshadows tend to bring out too much red in my eyes and complexion. I love my Make Up For Ever eyeshadows, which are wonderful quality and have a great range of different blues and greens (not so with the violets, although a couple of nice purples). I want to try the Kjaer Weis eye shadow Blue Wonder (as well as Cloud Nine, Grace, Divine, Green Depth, Pretty Purple... )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-15233577453677210542015-10-26T07:56:29.663-04:002015-10-26T07:56:29.663-04:00Was that your playroom?Was that your playroom?marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05273288116543315060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-6214477503456791132015-10-26T00:01:30.308-04:002015-10-26T00:01:30.308-04:00Thank you, my friend.
