Mother’s Day Gifts

Mother’s Day is almost here!  What do you get your mom for this fast approaching day?  Some might get flowers, her favorite candy, or maybe something out of the ordinary like Aruba jewelry.   Some might give her something to go with a hobby or a new book release of a favorite author.  Whatever a mother gets, it’s the love behind the gift that makes it so special.

Fashion

Do you keep up with the latest fashion?  I don’t, and I must admit that my mother-in-law keeps up with it more than me.  I’ll sometimes ask our daughter if something is in style that I’m not sure about.  It’s not that I don’t have an idea about what’s in style, but I don’t keep up with what’s the very latest fashion.  I know some brands, but some brands like apple bottom I don’t know about.  Wearing what’s comfortable and stylish enough for me is what I like to wear.

Age Doesn’t Matter

I’ve come to the conclusion that age doesn’t matter when faced with the problem of how to get rid of acne.  Sure, when a person is a teenager they expect to have acne at some point.  But even when well past the teenage years, and I’m talking about even when you have children and grandchildren, acne can pop up every now and then just to aggravate you.  It might just be one small pimple, but still it’s a nuisance.  Acne is no respecter of age!

Buying Shoes Online

There are a lot of people who buy shoes online, and there are a lot of sites that sell shoes such as mbt shoes.   Apparently, there’s a big market for that. I don’t know about you, but I’m hesitant to buy shoes without being able to try them on first.  Shoes that are tight and ones that let my foot slip to the end of the shoe bother my feet.  There must be a policy with online shoe sites that let’s you send them back if they don’t fit.  I’ll have to check that out sometime.

Resolutions

Now that the holidays are over, I have five pounds to lose.  That’s one of my traditional unspoken New Year’s resolutions.  I thought I wasn’t going to gain but just a couple of pounds, but after Christmas week was over then it turned into five.  One thing I don’t have to deal with is adult acne.  That’s good!   I’ll just concentrate on eating healthier, cutting back on what I eat, and trying to work in at least a couple of walks a week.

Personalized Gifts

Have you ever had personalized jewelry?  I remember having some as a child, and I thought it was very special.  Several years ago, a friend gave me a key chain with my initials on it which was a thoughtful gift!  Maybe part of what makes a personalized item special is the fact that it’s unique, and the person giving the gift had to go to extra effort to get the gift personalized.  What about you?  Have you ever had anything personalized?

Holiday Attire

The holiday season is just about here, and many people will be attending all types of festivities between now and the new year.  Some get really dressed up with bow ties, but we’re more casual.  There will be a couple of activities we plan to get dressed up for such as a special Christmas concert, but for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, we dress casually and comfortably.  Does your family dress up for special dinners?

T-shirts

My favorite things to wear if I’m at home or out running errands are jeans and a T-shirt.  I either wear a solid color T-shirt or one from where I went to college or maybe one I bought on vacation somewhere.  Some really cute vintage t shirts are available that look like they would be fun to wear, and someday I might get one of those.  There’s just something so comfortable about T-shirts!  I guess they’re a favorite of a lot of people and will always be in style.

Wardrobes

Now that I’m working full-time, I’m glad I already have clothes that are perfect for wearing in a school setting.  Back when I was a stay-at-home mom and did volunteer work at a food pantry, I wore jeans all the time.  Now I wear nice pants and tops, shirts and vests.  I have no need for special occasion dresses, but I do wear dresses to church sometimes.  However, when the weather turns cold then I tend to wear pants most of the time.  That’s the extent of my wardrobe.  What does your wardrobe consist of?

A Beautiful Way

It used to bother me a few years ago when I would look in the mirror and see new wrinkles, and so I would use wrinkle eye creams and facial moisturizers.  Although I still use those things, it doesn’t bother me near as much when I see new wrinkles.  That’s just a part of me now, of who I am.   I know people who have wrinkles, yet they have such a beautiful and caring spirit that I don’t pay much attention to the wrinkles.  I focus on what’s in their heart that shines through in a beautiful way!
