I do very little with my face but a few careful precautions and tips like you shared go a long way! I have pretty thin eyebrows too, thanks to my low thyroid. Fortunately I still have hair on my head! But I used to have TWICE as much. Ah, the joys of earthly bodies and aging!<br /><br />You are so lovely, your before picture is equally as stunning! And the one with you in the presence of God, you had me laughing!! <br /><br />xoMelissa @ The Inspired Roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711494549892860307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-51132938394707966702010-02-22T17:08:27.337-05:002010-02-22T17:08:27.337-05:00Great post!

My top 10 movies include 'To Kill--Mockingbird" "Rear Window" (my fave) and -- of all discrepancies - WWII movies -- "Best Years of Our Lives" "While You Were Gone" up to "Battleground" and more, anyone? I'm such a movie fanatic, though, I have top 10 genres rather than lists...I will be back....I Wonder Wyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15711651118123762132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-13494667958400660042010-02-21T09:37:43.234-05:002010-02-21T09:37:43.234-05:00You're full of beans.

It's a habit I am fairly religious about. I like Clinique's Super City Oil Free sunblock (I think that's what it's called). It has a slight tint to it, and is very very lightweight. I like it b/c it doesn't feel greasy.<br /><br />I am very late returning visits this weekend. :s I laughed about the "decaf hazelnut" comment from your son.

I just kept looking at your before picture just thinking, "She's so beautiful!" : )<br /><br />You seriously cracked me up with the "presence of God" thing. <br /><br />And I TOTALLY agree with you about curling your lashes and using mascara. I have okay lashes but they are stick. straight. I mean, STICK. STRAIGHT. If I didn't use an eyelash curler, even if I used mascara you couldn't see my eyelashes! When I asked my husband for a $17 Sephora eyelash curler for Christmas in 2008, he thought I had lost my mind. But Oh, the joy of having a decent curler! <br /><br />You are so right about looking our best having a positive impact on our attitudes. Even when I stay home all day I like to put makeup on, just so when I look in the mirror I'm not all, "BLECH!" at myself. :DHeathahleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03526348513736437292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-61042592535446744482010-02-20T16:16:47.672-05:002010-02-20T16:16:47.672-05:00Dear Richella, you are beautiful, inside and out. ...Dear Richella, you are beautiful, inside and out. :)Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03946043005796746807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-42572492390774193162010-02-20T15:42:37.793-05:002010-02-20T15:42:37.793-05:00You're my SITS Saturday partner -- and I just ...You're my SITS Saturday partner -- and I just blogged this week about my Georgio-armani make-over!

I spend about the same amount of time on my makeup as you. Glad you shared your favorite products...especially the sunscreen. I have to agree with you about the mascara. (As a teen I once had mono. I was sick in bed, wearing no makeup and a guy friend came to visit. He took one look and gasped..."you have no eyes!") <br /><br />There is no doubt, the best beauty radiates from within...and in that respect, you glow! = )Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02158977330746847962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-14194745613729558632010-02-19T19:46:30.313-05:002010-02-19T19:46:30.313-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02158977330746847962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-74798397755328124522010-02-19T16:05:25.386-05:002010-02-19T16:05:25.386-05:00You're a natural beauty Richella and look beau...You're a natural beauty Richella and look beautiful.

I'm 50, and spent way too much time in the sun when I was in my teens and twenties, and I'm now paying the price! I have crows feet and lots of freckles even though I'm a brunette with dark brown eyes. So... good advice you gave about the sun screen. I use it now, but wish I would have been wiser in my earlier years. And you are absoulutely right about inner beauty.<br />Blessings,<br />Caroline in CAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-39903947775486947242010-02-19T14:06:06.887-05:002010-02-19T14:06:06.887-05:00Hi Richella!

I am not happy with my foundation makeup anymore as it seems to only accentuate the lines I'm trying to conceal! I want to try mineral makeup, but are you saying you want to try a different kind of mineral makeup, or just a different kind of foundation makeup altogether? Well, whatever the case, you really do look great, and yes I had trouble with the camera too! Nice to meet you today! This has been fun and quite the experience to remember!
