Travel Time at the W.H. Stark House

Everyone that I know can tell you that I love to travel.  It must be a part of my sign, which is a Sagittarius.  I especially love to look at different books and web sites about Italy, Australia and France.  I would love to go one of those places before I die.  I think if I was a millionaire, I would never be home.  I would be out traveling the world and looking at the many great places, especially landmarks.  Landmarks are one of the greatest things to see in the world because it tells you a … [Read more...]

Who will be the winner?

I've been faithfully watching American Idol since the very beginning in 2002.   I have so much fun watching some of these people make a fool out of themselves because some of them are very comical. The funny thing is they think they can really sing when in fact they can't.  They must have stuff in their ears because they sound horrible.  So far, in my opinion, the best singer is Kelly Clarkson. She has an amazing voice and will always be remembered as the first American Idol … [Read more...]

Where do you go for your printing needs?

Since my husband has his own contracting business, he needs to have his own business cards as well as signature stamps for invoices and thank you cards with his company logo.  Vistaprint is always there for his printing needs.  They have great prices, a great selection on their products and the shipping is pretty fast.  We have never encountered any problems with our merchandise.  We have also ordered holidays cards for his best customers.  Not only do we use Vistaprint … [Read more...]

How long can you hold your breath underwater?

Can you hold your breath under water for two minutes? How about one minute?  I know I can't hold my breath for too long.  I could probably hold my breath for 30 seconds, maybe.17 minutes, 4.4 seconds is the new world record for a person to hold their breath under water.  It was done by the infamous David Blaine on the Oprah show today.  Can you believe it?  While I was watching the show, I got chills and there was a point where I couldn't even look at TV.  I even … [Read more...]

Works for me Wednesday – Beauty Tips

This is the information I received in an email from E.L.F. cosmetics.  I decided to post it on Works For Me Wednesday because it makes perfect sense.Did you know that old makeup can have contaminants?  That means you can keep lipsticks for no more than a year, eye make-up for up to 3 months, blush for 6 months and nail polish for 2 years. I had makeup that was well over their due date so I threw out a lot.  Although I threw out a bunch of stuff before taking this picture, you can still see I had … [Read more...]

Rules for Women – My Opinion, My way of Life

A few weeks ago, I saw an episode of Jerry Springer. Yes, I know that show is psychotic, crazy and down-right dysfunctional, but I watch it occasionally.  If it wasn't for my husband recording it daily on our DVR (he likes to laugh at them, don't ask me why), I would never watch the show.  This particular show was a bit disturbing to me.  It was about a young Hispanic girl (18 years old) that had two kids from an ex-con that is now dating a cousin of hers.  Even though she knew that her cousin … [Read more...]

Update

The day I wrote this,  I mentioned I would write a review on how well my eye shadow lasted. Well, I just have to say, I now give the E.L.F. eyeshadow a 10!!! It never creased, rubbed off and it made my eye liner last all day until I took it off right before I went to bed.  I absolutely love it!  I love it so much that I looked thru all of my "old" make up in my room and threw away alot.  Lipsticks, eye shadows, liners and much more.  I will post the picture … [Read more...]

CVS…………last minut

This week I didn't really think about going to CVS because I basically have all that I need and I truly don't need anymore stuff.As I was looking through my coupons and the CVS  flyer this morning, I noticed I could get some really good deals.  For some strange reason, I didn't see those deals before.  So I printed out my CVS coupon: a $4 off a $20 any beauty purchase that was emailed to me by CVS a few days ago, organized my coupons and made a list.  This is what I … [Read more...]
