During this heat wave, it strikes just the right note.<br /><br />Makeup: Keeping it light and summery with a side of glam compliments of Tom Ford.<br /><br />Frequently Worn Item: Sunhats!<br /><br />Guilty Pleasure: Crazy Rich Asians and I just purchase the sequel China Rich Girlfriend.<br /><br />Food: Salads, salads, and more salads.<br /><br />Bane: Nada<br /><br />Joy: An impromptu trip to New Zealand to visit my step-father and his family. They rolled out the red carpet for me.<br /><br />Anticipation: A break in this dry, hot weather! It's been particularly harsh because of our severe drought.<br /><br />Wishlist: A new carry-on bag.<br /><br />Random Thought: Why do so many people think replacing grass with rocks and astro turf is the answer to cutting back on watering during a drought? Those things create radiate more heat and they don't replenish the oxygen in our air. Native plants do the job, are more esthetically pleasing, and help the atmosphere.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591893495803781535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-32677340270894912032015-06-30T18:17:58.211-04:002015-06-30T18:17:58.211-04:00A current joy, other than your blog, is the smell ...A current joy, other than your blog, is the smell of a variety of herbs and scented geraniums on my patio. <br />Really liking Tarte (cruelty free) LipSurgence for summer lip tint.<br />One other joy is going to sound strange to the carnivores out there. As a vegan for 30 plus years, I never enjoy the smell of my neighbors grilling meat all summer. It ruins my evenings! I recently started burning incense outside and it's helping so much! I recommend this to anyone suffering horrible outdoor smells. I always loved incense, but find it too smoky indoors, so this is really working great.

And got a great bottle of vintage Vent Vert and another of Scandal for surprisingly decent prices (on my mini break am willfully ignoring the fact that in the last month I have balanced this good luck out by purchasing two bottles of Joy parfum that turned out to be factices - with boxes with signs of wear, slight evaporation stains and all the relevant papers for bottles with actual perfume inside - very realistic. Ugh!). <br /><br />Food: You've reminded me how absolutely delicious really good cottage cheese can be. It's been ages, but I used to get cottage cheese from Mayfield, a dairy company here in the South. Am not sure if it's still as good as it used to be, but am going to go out today and get some - fingers crossed! I also just got some Cefalu Mediterranean salt - am infinitely grateful that I have abnormally low blood pressure, because I can't even imagine a life with salt restrictions. Very high on my wish list is a large pink salt block to cook on. And DH and I are both becoming seriously addicted to cherries this summer - managing to erase many scary childhood memories of eating cherries with worms in them.<br /><br />Books: Sarah Caudwell's Thus Was Adonis Murdered and am about to start Manil Suri's The City of Devi.<br /><br />Music: Aaron Copland - don't care what people may think about him. I adore his music. The incredible optimism of parts of Appalachian Spring and Rodeo can bring me to tears.<br />AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-88762795254714612622015-06-30T13:22:07.278-04:002015-06-30T13:22:07.278-04:00Definitely sharing your charger(s) bane.

Micaleff's Pomelos and I will be sad when I run out and can't find it anymore.

It is available as an e-book, but since it's told in pictures as much as in words, paper is the way to go.<br /><br /><br />Music: Peter Gabriel's cover of Magnetic Fields' "The Book Of Love."<br /><br /><br />Fragrance: Guerlain's Heritage. Monster sillage, mega longevity.<br /><br /><br />Food: Homemade oatmeal cookies with dried cherries. Also green salads with balsamic-dijon vinaigrette.<br /><br /><br />Joy: Marriage Equality. I may have to start dating again.<br /><br /><br />Bane: Northeastern Ohio is very soggy due to all the rain. It's not a tan, it's rust! If I could transfer most of it to the Pacific Coast, I certainly would, and in a nanosecond.<br /><br /><br />Anticipations: A favorite cousin's (third) wedding on July 11th, my 55th birthday. Also, a bottle of Tom Ford Grey Vetiver......which I plan on getting with birthday money.<br /><br /><br />Gratitudes: Cats. Friends. Computers. Farm markets.<br /><br /><br /><br />Lawrence and Rosa del Gata in soggy, soggy OhioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
