Annnnd just under the wire — a post for the month of April! Huzzah!
I am typing on a new laptop. Excuse me, Toshiba (Satellite C75D-A) — what have you done to the keyboard that it looks the same as my last Toshiba, but causes me to make infinitely more typos? I can barely get through a 2 sentence client e-mail without a typo, imagine formulating a blog post? Torture!
But I digress. I’ve been reading some awesome classics, paranormal YA, and Romance, my usual eclectic fare. I am one book behind on my 50 book Goodreads goal for the year right now which meeeeans, I need to read faster! Hah, since that’s not actually going to happen, I will use my usual cheat of reading a couple shorter Kindle books to bump up my numbers. What — like it’s easy to read 50 novels a year when you generally only have an hour to read every night?? Not so easy. In any case, I have a few freebie Kindle romance books I downloaded that look possibly good, and very short. Probably next up will be A SEAL’s Seduction, by Tawny Weber.
Now excuse me, but I couldn’t remember the name of the book but knew it had SEAL in it. So I searched for “SEAL” in Goodreads. How many romance novels can there be about Navy SEALs after all? Um, apparently, many! <<<200>>> pages on Goodreads with at least a few of them being romance novels on each page! WTF? There are whole series of SEAL romance novels apparently. Who knew? This could be a Pandora’s box for me — you may never hear from me again after this because I’ll be on a Navy SEAL romance bender – I just, don’t, know! Veeeeery interesting.
Beauty News
I randomly picked up one of these new CC creams you have doubtless heard about. I skipped right over BBs and went straight to CCs (insert bra joke: here). In any case, I bought the Physician’s Formula Super CC + Cream in the Light shade and I LOVE it. It’s just lovely. It really does color correct very well — I’d say overall uneven color and even skin texture were improved by 80-90%. Smooth a small amount on all over face, add just a TOUCH of concealer to any trouble spots, and voila! You are good to go! OK fine, maybe add a hint of blush also — all ladies need some blush — anyone who denies this either has a fever or is sun-burnt — really, we ALL need some blush people. Be that as it may, this CC cream is fabulous and I have already bought it twice at Rite Aid here in California for 40% off of $14, making it a serious bargain. And for those who are too lazy to apply SPF30 sunscreen every day, it already has SPF30 in it — win-win! It only comes in a few shades though — I hope they expand the line. I am using Light right now and bought a Light/Medium for the summer months.
Give it a try! And most places will return with receipt if you don’t like it, but I bet you will — so handy!
And with that…
Time for a… tea! It’s 11PM, after all,
