Just after burning some lavender oil, and since today is a bit greyish and windy, Ernie asked if he could take a nice relaxing bath with ducky, using the oil for moisturizing the skin. I said well yes and placed the burner on the windowsill, so as to give them some natural light (no sun today). Will have them out before skin gets to wrinkly serving them some nice tea and wrapping them in warm towels
I write this with truth and vulnerabilty....
Yesterday I turned 50. Leading up to the big day I began to feel anxious, and not in a good way. I don't know what it was but something about it just really bothered me but I didn't know why. Lots of other people turn 50 with grace but I was having trouble with it. There was just something that made me feel anxious about it, like an impending doom was waiting for me right around the corner. I am an overthinker and I have lived with anxiety as long as I can remember. As a kid, my stomach would hurt (alot!) and it wasn't until my adult years that I put two and two together. When I am stressed, my stomach aches, so much that I can hardly eat. Sometimes it is days before it settles again. Tension also builds in my neck to the point where it causes headaches and sometimes migraines.
The day came and went without an issue. I took the day off work and went out for the day (see my previous photo about that) and I enjoyed myself very much and afterwards my nerves settled back down. Today I reflected on it and I kind of laugh about it now. I look back on the last 50 years and wonder where the heck did the time go and wished I had done some things differently and how I missed out on certain opportunities because I lacked confidence in myself. For example, I wished I had chosen a different career path, one that is rewarding and pays well enough to do the little extras in life that otherwise cost money, like travelling. I would love to travel more but the cost of living has skyrocketed so much, I have no idea where I will ever get the money to do that. But even still, all of that isn't really important. What is really most important to me and what I am most proud of is my family. ❤
So for this side of 50 I promise to go easier on myself and practice more self acceptance and try not to worry about the things I have no control over. It doesn't help worrying anyways. Also I know fully well that aging can't be stopped. I am not high maintenance and can't be bothered to go to spas. I use Ivory soap and moisturizer on my face and wear very little makeup. I am a less-is-more kind of person and always will be. I want to accept that aging is truly a gift, one that is denied to many. I really just want to be a better person than I was yesterday.
Thanks for listening...I hope everyone is doing well. :) xo

I've been on a bit of a beauty bender recently. ;P
I needed a black mascara so thought I'd try this out. The mascara smells like the dolly girl perfume which is weird to me (do eyeballs really smell that bad??) but it covers well so I won't complain.
Besides the winking mascara tube makes it worth it. ;)

Not finding a larger body of water, the hippo was resting in a small pool not much larger than its body hunkering down to stay cool. You could see the animal was not very comfortable there with its skin turning pink, so when our jeep approached the hippo got up and started walking away. This is my third image of the hippo. You can see another one in the first comment section.
Hippos secrete a reddish oily fluid sometimes called "blood sweat" from special glands in their skin. But the fluid is not sweat. Unlike sweat, which some mammals (including humans) secrete onto their skin, where it evaporates and therefore cools the body, this fluid functions as a skin moisturizer, water repellent and antibiotic. It appears red when exposed to full sunlight, which led the first European discoverers in Africa to call it "blood sweat."
Hippos mostly try to avoid direct sunlight by lying in water during the day and feeding at night. Their skin is very sensitive to both drying and sunburn, so the secretion acts like an automatic skin ointment. It also protects the skin from becoming waterlogged when a hippo is in the water. The detailed chemical composition of this secretion, which is unique to hippos, remains something of a mystery.

#TimeForCrab continues! This year we invite all builders across the community and the globe to participate in a month-long open crab collab, spanning June 22 to July 22. The task is simple:
1. Build a crab
2. Post your crab with the tag #timeforcrab
3. Repeat!
All crustaceans are welcome, and your build can be anything recognizably crustacean-inspired. Be it an actual crab, a fantasy crab, a mech, a spaceship, a castle or anything else - just make it vaguely resemble crab! The primary venues of Time for Crab are Flickr and Instagram, but feel free to share your crabs far and wide. Spread the word, and invite your friends to join!
The ambition is to make this an annually recurring month-long open collab, always taking place in this same timeframe. Let's get the ball rolling.
It's Time for Crab!
My 13-step program. Clockwise from upper left.
1. Blank Canvas – Get a really close shave, wash with soap and water, moisturize skin and lips, then apply makeup primer. You can also use Lumify eyedrops to get rid of any redness.
2. Pluck, Tape and Beard Cover – get eyebrows as shaped as you can without looking too out of place, and give yourself an instant eye and neck lift with some good surgical tape. One of the few advantages of losing your hair, is that the tape sticks better. Use a reddish/orange lipstick to balance the color of my facial hair, and under eye bags if needed.
3. Concealer – I use two shades of concealer. A lighter one for under eyes, and areas that you want to highlight, then a medium for the rest of the areas that need some smoothing. This also includes my chest area.
4. Foundation – Apply a cream foundation evenly over your entire face, neck and as far down your chest as needed to even out the skin tones.
5. Powder – I use a light powder over everything to take away any shine, even out the tones and make it easier to apply a powder contour.
6. Contour and Brows – For me, it’s mostly shading on my jawline and neck, making my nose look narrower and highlighting under my eyes and the bridge of my nose. Use an eyebrow pencil to fill in and shape eyebrows.
7. Eyeliner – It definitely gets easier with practice. I have watched a lot of tutorials and the best one for me was Aly Art on YouTube youtu.be/3d1zD_3STdw . This is just one she does for eyes, but she has them for just about everything.
8. Eyeshadow – I think it is a smoky eye, but I don’t really know. A little dark shade at the bottom, light at the top and medium in the middle. I keep almost all the color on the outside half of my eyelid. I use whatever color I think is going to look good with my outfit, and sometimes a little pop of white on the inside corner of my eye, but that is starting to look like a 1990’s thing, I think.
9. Lashes and Mascara – I use glue on fake lashes most of the time, but sometimes it’s just my natural lashes with mascara. Another skill that comes with practice, and don’t use too much glue. It takes less than you think to hold them in place, at least if you’re just hanging around the house.
10. Lip Liner – I just slightly over draw my lips with a lip pencil that is a little darker than the natural shade of my lips. Over draw slightly more on the top, and only really in the middle of by bottom lip. It helps me not look so frowny.
11. Lipstick – This is the best part.
12. Hair, Dress and Accessories – Just kidding, this is really the best part. When it is all complete and that first look in the mirror
13. Okay, one more step. Smile! It took me a long time to get comfortable with my smile, but it is worth the effort.
Finally shaved and moisturized. I'm wearing my new vintage tights. I was almost moved when I took them out of the envelope and saw them shine like this. They remind me so much of the pantyhose my mom wore when I was a child. It is probably thanks to them that my passion for this garment was born.

Still sulking; will Christy and/or Janis, notorious and relentless hackers, manage to penetrate? I wait nervously, drinking moisturizer faster than I should.
This was the first outfit I wore during Keystone. On that Thursday morning, I seemed to be all thumbs, with the first thing being false lashes giving me all manner of trouble. This is the first thing I do after getting my face shaved and moisturized. This is because a clean canvas seems to mitigate troubles associated with adhesives and I avoid messing up foundation while wrestling with eyeliner and so forth. Anyway, I finally got the damn things on and all went well until my lips - my lipliner pencils had their tips cleaved off and I couldn't figure out how to extend more product easily. It turns out you need to shove a small stick into the hole at the end and use a fair amount of force to push product upwards. What a goofy design. After that, things went reasonably well until photography time. I couldn't seem to get good photos because the room was so bloody dark (my limited knowledge of photography not helping matters). I thought all was lost and, in my frustration, I abandoned the effort and went to mingle with friends, which is really what this is all about anyway. Going through the mess of darkish photos later that night before bed, I found a few gems. One is this this portrait, which blew me away. Probably because of the way my eyes look.
Now, I'm almost 54 years old and with makeup and such I perhaps shave off a decade (we all do). I have wrinkles and emerging bags under my eyes, of course, but I don't mind them at all - it shows I've been around awhile and I like that. I'm thin-ish, weighing in at about 170 pounds, and I mitigate undesirable bulges with a waist cincher. I add curves by wearing pads and forms under less-than-sexy undergarments. So, it's all fake. Physical fake. I don't use face apps or otherwise manipulate the structure or texture of my face and body. I want what I see in photos to be me; if they are ugly (and believe me, many are), I delete them. Still, the iPhone camera is forgiving in this case because it doesn't always pick up pores and small wrinkles, and the lighting in this very spot appears to have been exactly right because I don't see much in the way of wrinkles and unflattering shadows.
I can't really see up close without my reading glasses, so I'm never sure if what I'm doing is working until after the fact. My poses are generally pretty good, if a little stiff sometimes, so I like to mess with my selfies by fooling about spontaneously to see what happens.
With all that preamble out of the way, imagine my pleasant surprise at seeing this photo. But it is a moment in time, with all elements exactly in place. Despite the capture of a fleeting moment in the right conditions, it's a photo that makes me very happy.
A bit on the ensemble: I love ruffle dresses, especially with opaque tights. This one, purchased from Macy's, is adorable and it's fun to wear. Black cardigans strike me as a must-have staple in any woman's closet and looks awesome with dresses like this (I also need to wear it because it helps hid my thuggish arms). The booties, by Charter Club and also purchased at Macy's, are awesome in terms of look and fit. I highly recommend them. I loved the way my fingernails looked so that explains the staged placement of my hand. Most of the time, I get my nails from Static Nails online.
*Pro tip: The secret to mitigating man hands while pursuing eonist adventures? Coldness. I like to be in cool environments when en femme. The result constricts blood flow to extremities, making one's hands looks smaller. It's not always possible, to be sure.
