I will gamely share this personal revelation with the internet, that sometimes, our medication has side effects and surprisingly, those side effects rarely make you better looking. The exception is Grandma Lavender's eye drops, which give her gorgeous eye lashes, that she trims because they get too long! Shocking, I know.

Anyhow, my estrogen therapy drugs keep me estrogen-free and so I'm experiencing the trickery of menopause. I realized this weekend that I had white fuzzy whiskers and no one told me! My first choice was professional waxing but I couldn't see anyone fast enough for my liking. Which led me to use.... Duct Tape. It totally worked and didn't rip my skin. Take 2 inches of tape, stick it to your face, rub on, hold skin tight and rip off. However, my hair was really, really fine so maybe that's why it worked.

This next bit of information isn't as valuable, but this morning I got up without crutches!!! I've been using them for a month and a half since my L2 vertebrae "resettled", rather painfully. It was a glorious moment and a real coup, in my opinion.

Have a fantastic Monday and fill out the poll "my secret beauty routine focuses on...". It's on the right of the blog main page :).
