Funny about the before picture. Sometimes I wonder how certain ones come out so odd! <br />That is so cool about the perfumes. I had a barbie perfume maker as a kid and I loved the jasmine so much I mixed some into each bottle. I guess I felt that everything deserved a little jasmine.'Yellow Rose' Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496382898548158316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-78759851791349086122012-04-26T01:25:28.271-07:002012-04-26T01:25:28.271-07:00Thanks for stopping by, Willow.

The lighting was stark and from above, and I looked about 80 years old, with bags under my eyes and all. Ewwwie! Oh well, vanity vanity, LOL!<br /><br />Got to tell you... due to allergies, I make my own perfume from almond oil and scented essential oils. A couple of days ago I made two favorite scents: Vanilla Rose, and Vanilla Jasmine.

My dear husband didn't understand paying 40 bucks to do what I've been trying to do at home with a "kit" (not very successfully, I might add). But I finally do. I may not do it often, but I now feel the freedom to do it when I WANT to, and I don't need to earn it. What a wonderful, self-loving feeling that is!! Very very nice indeed. :-)<br /><br />Yep... I have this secret little project that I am working on, and wanted uninterrupted time to finish... lots of purple, yellow, silhouettes. I'm stoked! Only those brave souls who venture over to my art blog will get to see it in a couple of weeks.

It's funny... I...I loved that quote, too, Deb! <br />It's funny... I first heard about that book from Mir/Princess Dieter, and bought a cheapie used copy on Amazon, thinking it wouldn't be too much of a waste of money if it turned out "eh". <br /><br />But wow, what a terrific little book! I didn't think I'd relate to the writings of a Navy Seal, who couches everything in battle/warrior/ops/fighting terms. But whoa nellie, I absolutely did! I can totally see how the principles he talks about translate into ANY kind of endeavor, not just battle. Better stop now.. I'll start quoting the book again, ha ha haRettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-23046602949202589442012-04-10T10:47:08.007-07:002012-04-10T10:47:08.007-07:00Thanks, Juliana.

LONG time coming and yes it feels SO GOOD!<br /><br />Funny thing too....went to see a financial planner a few weeks back...young girl...no kids...not married...maybe a year or two out of college....<br /><br />One of the first things she started listing that I SHOULD do ....just by my appearance...was to stop getting my nails done, stop coloring my hair, and not buying another "midlife" car when this one is paid off this year........and start putting that *waste* of money away in an IRA....<br /><br />I smiled politely and when I walked outside and got into my "midlife" car...(an 05 convertible) I laughed and remembered that wonderful scene in the parking lot in the movie fried green tomatoes! <br /><br />It took me YEARS and YEARS (and will continue to take more) that none of that is a "waste", it is a pure investment in my self....<br /><br />Can't WAIT to see what the less computer time produces....I know it is changing things for ME!Jules https://www.blogger.com/profile/13538697780110230554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-32037947042860052002012-04-10T06:44:40.704-07:002012-04-10T06:44:40.704-07:00First, I love the warrior quote!

Yes. I've been off the computer most of the week and have been feeling like I would be scarce for a while. Partly, of course, is that it's now hard for me to actually read blogs now that my eyes have had one more defeat, but beyond that, I've just felt the need to "reset".<br /><br />Last night, I actually reduced the blogs I follow to about 8--and most of those are not regular posters.<br /><br />I have had several thoughts on this, but since it's not my blog-I'll stop now. :}<br /><br />Hugs, Girlfriend. Enjoy the time off and don't get all "responsible" feeling about keeping up. :}<br /><br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
