A break in the forest
Walking through the woods back to my house.

I had quite a haul from Ulta this week - lots of good things that I will break down slowly.  Some of it will be gifts but most of it is for me - I have to be honest!!
I very kindly received this lovely snake skin bag filled with all of these products -
 some are full size!

 This is what I use to wash my face every day - it is gentle even when using my Clarisonic.
 Ulta had a special - buy one - get one 50% off so that is a good deal for me.  I cannot always find this in stores and I don't want to run out since I live in the middle of no where!

This is the body wash I use all year - though formulated for winter, it is moisturizing without being oily and making the shower slippery!  As a rule, I cannot find it locally so I stock up when I find it on Amazon:

 I like many of the Hourglass products and have all of the Lighting Powders - they give such a soft glow without being sparkly.  So I thought I would try this:
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush  - Dim Infusion (Light peach - one of the lightest colors) - info from the website:
"Discover a new way to blush: This groundbreaking hybrid combines the customized lighting effects of Ambient Lighting Powder with a spectrum of breathtakingly modern hues"
I am not a big blush person as I have some redness to my skin - but the color was so pretty.
Color on a tissue and under the forearm - it is a very finely milled powder so you can build on it if needed - I won't need to - just a quick swipe will be enough color for me.  This will definitely last!
But it does not have the soft focus effect that the Lighting Powders are known for - so one blush will be enough for me.

Artisan organic greens for lunch:  I try to be good!
But sometimes you need a doughnut!
                                    

I recently read about the high cost of a migraineur's meds.  When she started using it in the 1980's it cost $180 for 10 doses.  Her most recent prescription cost almost $15,000.00 for 10 doses. NO, that is not a misprint!  It made me so mad I thought my head would explode!  I believe in
a competitive market but this is just outrageous.
This year I had one medication jump from $6 to $80 in one month and it's an old generic med!  Something is very wrong in the pharma industry.  I shudder to think what it will cost at the first of the year.
Be well my loves.

Pink isn't just a color ~ it's an attitude!

  4. Wow $15k that's insane. The artisan organic greens look so pretty, almost so much that you don't want to eat it and just look at it. It would be awesome if you can link up to http://the-wardrobe-stylist.com/2016/09/27/diy-thanksgiving-ideas/
