Intentional glamour
In my opinion, glamour is intentional. We all make a choice to present ourselves a certain way, and I define glamour as the intent to enhance one's appearance in a specific way, showing "personal style." I often see some person out somewhere who has really put himself...
Have you looked into YogaToes? I have a pair and I swear they have kept my hammertoes from getting worse and might even help more severe hammertoes. You can even pop them in the freezer for extra relief on hot days. I wear mine when I'm soaking in the tub or watching TV, and I also use them as...
I only recently started feeling emboldened to start dressing in accordance with my lifelong interest in vintage clothing and eras since I found this place. I'm 33. My real-life friends still do things like buy me flip-flops, but here I felt supported in doing something that others I know...
I hate having to get my hair colored. It quickly fades from a nice rich brown to a washed-out reddish brown toward the ends. I just saw some photos taken of me over the holidays and realized I really can't skip a salon appointment or I have two-tone hair!
I'm a sucker for a nicely-kept pair of leather shoes. Surprising how few men I see sporting anything other than athletic shoes. Chunky white running shoes make me want to run the other way!
I write in my diary very regularly, except when I get too busy. I like to look back and see what I was doing, say, a year ago today. Sometimes they remind me how far I've come. I have to laugh, for example, at the diaries from the years when I had a stressful career that I hated. I used to take...
Oooh, the half-moon is my new go-to manicure! I paint my nails once a week with a nice dark color using those french manicure strips as a guide over the moon area. Once the polish is totally dry I peel off the strips, and touch up with OPI's "correct and cleanup" nail polish remover pen. I top...
Ok, I went back for another round of BPAL and this time I think I got it! My new signature scent is my own mix--one big bottle of Black Dahlia with an imp of Hell's Belle mixed in. I also tried a few of the Dragon's Blood mixes in imp sizes and they were nice, too. So, I may be a BPAL convert...
For a good pale pink I always go with Essie's Ballet Slippers. I buy it at my nail salon, but you can also find it online and it is one of their best sellers, a good all-purpose pale pink for many different skin tones.
Sometimes I wear OPI's "I'm Not Really A Waitress," a good deep red, but...
I think the right red lipstick, more berry than tomato red, would look great with eggplant. I wear a lot of eggplant and burgundy and I like to wear either a medium rose lipstick or a deeper berry red with it. I'm sure you're going to look smashing.
I dislike terms of endearment from anyone who is not actually dear to me. I would want to slap a strange guy in a bar who called me "baby." That said, certain people I know often call others "hon" or "babe" and even if I don't personally like those terms, it's a personality trait I accept in...
I hate that backhanded compliment/unnecessary qualifier "for your age," as in "She looks great, for her age." Forget that, how about just "He or she looks great!"
Hmmm, it seems you did wind up with less of a front bang than the example you referenced, but in order to get the flip, you probably just need to experiment with rollers or a curling iron. I always like a shorter cut for summer, myself!
When my mother died, I got her Bible, and tucked between two pages was a love letter my father wrote to her when he was away in the Korean War after they were first married. It was nothing racy, just day to day stuff, but one line in particular--"I feel so all alone at night without you to...
I'm not familiar with Kiddieland, but if you have fond memories of Riverview (or just wish you did) The Riverview Tavern in Roscoe Village (Damen and Roscoe) has bits and pieces of it all over the pub, as well as some good beers on tap. I really wish I lived during the good old days of the...
