Product Recs

Two product recommendations this morning:

1) BB Cream. Ladies, if you aren't using it as your foundation, stop reading this minute and hie thee to your nearest drugstore or beauty counter! I've only tried one- Loreal- but I can confirm that it is FANTASTIC. Skin tighter, tone even, small wrinkles spackled. It's not heavy at all, which is so nice. It is the miracle it claims to be. Want to test it for yourself? Do what I did- apply your regular foundation on one side of your face and BB cream on the other to compare. The difference was very apparent for my skin. Get a shade lighter than you think you need.

2) Mio. It's my new favorite beverage. I usually drink water with either a splash of tea or lemonade in it. We got the lemon-flavored Mio to try. I use one squirt in 16 oz. of water (about half the smallest intended amount) and it's GREAT lightly flavored water. Zero calories. And the portability factor is awesome. It doesn't need refrigeration and it's tiny, so you can carry it anywhere. Find it in your bottled juice and powdered drinks aisle at the grocery store.


Saturday 9: Christmas Carols

1) What's the first holiday song that comes to mind?
"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"

2) Are you sending cards (either by postal service or email) this year? If so, have they gone out yet?
Not sending any this year

3) Can you see any holiday decorations from where you're answering these questions?
I'm in the living room, and I can see several things. Stockings, A&M Football candles and ornaments on the mantel (thank you, Angel), some Christmas knick-knacks...

4) Do you wrap gifts in paper or take the gift bag route?
Most of them are wrapped in paper. Gift bags are good for certain gifts, but if I can, I prefer to wrap in a box. I love the ripping of the paper. It also takes longer, thus prolonging the anticipation, versus yanking something out of a bag.

5) The holidays are an important fundraising time for charities. Here's an opportunity to do a shameless plug for your favorite. What organization or cause do you wish got more support at the holidays, and all year around?
MD Anderson Children's Art Project - Purchase products featuring the art of young cancer patients at MD Anderson in Houston, to benefit patient services!

6) Andy Williams was famous for his family holiday specials. What TV family would most like to spend Christmas with?
The Modern Family gang. OMG this week was freakin' hilarious. My favorite line:

"There's something about going to work that makes you feel like... I don't know... you're worth something. No offense, Mom." -Haley

7) The holidays are a big time for travel. Where did you go on your first airplane flight?
Frankfurt to Houston

8) Does the weather have an impact on your mood?
When it's cloudy, I tend to be sleepy. Happy, but sleepy. There's a dwarf joke in there somewhere. 

9) Snack time! You're about to make yourself your favorite sandwich. What ingredients do you need?
I would never have an entire sandwich as a snack, but OK... Reuben: rye bread, corned beef, Thousand Island dressing, Swiss cheese and sauerkraut.
