It’s night, I’m about to go to sleep. My teeth are brushed, my face washed and moisturized and I’ve applied some eye serum to the area around my eyes in a vain attempt to fight off wrinkles. As if that was not enough, my lips are tingling – they are plumping up.
Today, my last day on listia (I have to cut this obsession), I got a package of Avon products I “won” last week. The fun of that particular auction was that I didn’t know exactly what I was bidding on (though I knew I’d be getting a bottle of True Glow perfume
Nope, I’m glad you asked, but nope, I don’t think for a minute that my lips need to be plumped up. Then again, I don’t think for a minute that a couple of creams (one you put /on/ your lips and another one you put /around/ your lips) are going to plump up your lips (though apparently they are also supposed to smooth them away, making the lines less noticeable). I actually think it’s pretty ridiculous to want to plump up your lips in the first place – I have nothing against plump lips, but really? I can’t help but to think of Desmond Morris’ The Naked Ape
But it’s not my thing. That said, I got this product and I’m going to use it. Until I get bored, that is š

I’ve always been a huge fan of Mastermind
The game came without instructions, so we played it at first with the rules I remembered, which unfortunately were much harder than the actual rules I looked up later, but still the kids enjoyed it. The one problem is that Camila, my 5 year old, keeps cheating, though perhaps she won’t as much now that we’re making the game easier.
In all, I’d recommend this game for both kids and adults and I’m glad I got it.
Today Mike was late on taking Camila to daycare, which gave us some extra time for mommy-Camila time. We used it working on the Orb Factory Sticky Mosaics Jewelry Box
The results are quite nice. We only have one side to go (and probably not enough tiles, as they’ve gotten lost all over the house in the last months), but the sides that are ready are quite pretty. I think Camila is looking forward to using it as a jewelry box in the future (for all the jewelry mommy makes her and she never wears).
I’m thinking that I’ll probably get her the fairy mosaic box
A couple of weeks ago I found the Girl Crush Magic Hair Beader
What you basically do is put a few beads in the applicator, then slide in a strand of hair, and push the beads onto it. Then you put a smaller clasp bead to prevent the other ones from falling. The one problem I’ve experienced is figuring out just exactly how big that strand of hair should be. Too much hair, and the beader won’t work. Too little hair, and the beads will fall out. If you manage to get *exactly* the right amount of hair they will stay in and can look cute – but otherwise you are in trouble. I beaded Mika and Camila’s hair today, and I’m expecting that they will come back with no beads on their hair. This wouldn’t be too big a deal as I have a bunch of pony beads I can use, but I only have a few clasping beads that I really don’t want to lose š
I wasn’t particularly careful on beading the kids’ hair – the picture below shows how messy Camila’s head looks – but I think that with some care the beads could look quite cute.
All in all, it was a good purchase.
