New Blogger

on the

Block



Take time to visit a brand new blogger. Rosario can be found at Crown of Thorns. Crown of Glory. This young lady is wise way beyond her years. Stop by and say hello and make her feel welcome.

Also new and waiting for you to stop by is Mark in Spokane. Mark is an attorney and we will forgive him for that 'cause he's a really neat guy. His blog Libertas et Memoria, to quote him, is "a blog on law, politics, faith and culture from the capital of the Inland Northwest." What makes me particularly happy is to have a blogger so close to home. It seems like most my blogger buddies are in Ohio or Minnesota.


Patrick Archbold over at Creative Minority Report has started up his screenplay writing with a bang. Stop over and read The Ineffables - Scene One. I can't wait for Scene Two.





Avon Calling


So guess who called and left a message? No, it wasn't the Holy Father, although he might call later. It was Ebeth over at A Catholic Mom Climbing the Pillars. Even my husband, who is not a huge fan of blogging, looked at me and said, "a blogger comes to life, cool!" I haven't had a chance to call her back yet, but I've had the message playing on continuous loop for the entire morning just to hear her cute accent.

Elizabeth (ebeth) is my new Avon lady. I'm into saving time and money and ordering on-line is a great way to do this. Avon, the largest cosmetics and skin care company, has some really fine products available. And guys, it's just not for ladies. Allow me to introduce you to some things I have purchased in the past few weeks that I think are exceptional products.





I just started using the Anew Clinical Deep Crease Concentrate and I am beyond impressed. Since I tend to knit my brows when I am in deep thought (about once per year), I had developed two little lines. In just a few days of using this stuff the lines are all but gone. Now if it would just make my hips disappear life would be really good.









For all you cold weather types (including you guys who are reading), Dew Kiss is the best lip balm I have ever used. EVER! And you can't beat the price. It's not waxy, shiny, or smelly.








And ladies, if you're as outraged by the price of lip liners as I am you can't beat the Glimmer Sticks. They're on sale right now for $2.99 - yep, ya heard me, $2.99 for a lip liner that winds up and down - no sharpening needed! Be still my beating heart.

Stop over and visit ebeth. She has an Avon link on her sidebar. Or, for those of you in a hurry here's her Avon home page. Shop the catalog, place your order and for a mere $3.00 UPS will bring it to you. And maybe Ebeth will call you, too!

Oh yes, absolutely! As a matter of fact, I'm currently using an anti-aging cream that is rich in protein, lightweight, potent, and helps smooth and hydrate the surface of the skin, creating a softer and more resilient appearance.

I like lip gloss with glitter in it. And YES!! I'm absolutely outraged by the price of lip liner. At that price I might as well douse my lips in crude oil!

Don't get me started on split-ends.

:0)

Libertas et Memoria link doesn't work...

Oh, Tom! LOL.

I got a ton of Avon products (two big shopping bags!) at a foo-foo Hollywood party thing I went to a long time ago, and though I'm far from running out, I am very impressed with their product quality. I especially like the mascara--no clumping. (I'm not much of a mascara wearer, so when I do wear it, I'm extremely picky.)

Rosario said...

Thank you for the advertising :D

you are officially in my blogroll now. You'll see me around :)

Adrienne said...

Oooops. Thanks Mark. All fixed...

Adrienne said...

Katie - Do not, I repeat, do NOT encourage Tom.

If you don't have a regular Avon lady consider ebeth. I LOVE having the stuff just dumped on my porch. Quick and dirty as Tony [Soprano] would say....

Ebeth said...

Adrienne! Thanks for the plug, you rock! My husband always makes fun of me and my accent, from upstate NY to Houston, TX, usually people don't know where I'm from. Well, until I say something like, "Putting gas in the car and using a charge card"

HugS!!
