Women will try anything to keep their skin looking supple and smooth. The illusion of youth is a powerfully motivating force.
And while I admit to buying my fair share of high priced creams and lotions in a feeble attempt to push back the hand of time…. even I have a limit.
Here it is:
Yes…
Snail mucus.
Because someone, somewhere, at sometime saw this…..
And thought, yup….
I got to get me some of that!
Mountain views.
Valley views.
Vibrant autumn color.
And love locks… Cathedral ledge has it all.
Even lovers with a sense of humor.
It was glorious… and that was only the front half.
Walking along the sides, we made friends.
Took 100 more pictures….
And simply marveled at the beauty of nature.
Even the husband was quiet.
Honestly, there’s only so many times you can say wow.
It really was a special spot.
This way?
Beautiful.
That way?
Fabulous.
Gaze in wonder.
Take picture.
Repeat.
There were rocks!
And trees!
And they made me realize how blessed I am to live in a truly wonderful part of the world.
We made one final lap along the fence line…
And strolled a few final steps across those marvelous rocks…
I tried again…. unsuccessfully… to get a double selfie where the husband actually looks at the camera.
But no matter.
We took one last look and bid goodbye to a place I’d revisit in a heartbeat next time we’re in the area.
Okay ladies, (Or men. I won’t discriminate) have you ever been to Ulta beauty?
I hadn’t until the other day and my only question is…. why the Hell did I wait so long?
I was like a kid in a candy store, happily skipping up and down the product laden aisles. It was lovely… and I came home with bags full of wondrous scents, war paint make up, lotions, soaps and spackle face creams.
A little known fact, but true nonetheless.
The guys will never understand, but a woman’s search for the perfect mascara can be life long.
We need it…. like air.
Am I right?
Of course I am.
Never underestimate the power of cosmetics.
So imagine my excitement when I found this –
Yes, you read it correctly.
Mascara that claims to be better than sex.
You know I had to try it.
The applicator is hourglass shaped…
For obscure Marilyn Monroe reasons.
And while my husband will be glad that I can honestly report it’s not better than sex.
Believe me when I say…
It’s pretty damned close!!
River's world.....
