Spring is Beginning to Bloom All Around!

And other beautifulness " )

************************

     Greetings from Uphill Farm---our little corner of rolling southern USA! Today was amazingly beautiful!...The birds were tweeting, the breeze was blowing, the fruit trees were budding and blooming, the honeybees were buzzing, the horses were grazing (tails and manes waving gently), the clouds were sailing overhead, the goat kids were frolicking....Well, you get the idea ; )

     Following are some pics:

     As this is a blog about beauty of all kinds, I wanted to share some tips that I have regarding how we ladies can pamper ourselves a bit in the area of skincare and fragrance. One idea that occurred to me is to NOT wash or wipe the residue of anti-aging moisturizer (I'm currently using AVON's ANEW Ultimate line)

off of your hands when you finish that step of your routine, but rather, add a drop of water to your palm, rub hands together gently to mix, and then apply to the backs of both hands! If you're like me, your hands are very hard working, and could use some beautification...especially as I would like to get solar nails for my birthday, and more attention will be drawn to my hands. I think I will begin to do this daily as well as using the same skincare steps to my neck and upper chest as I do my face--a lesson that I learned years ago! 

     The second tip that I wanted to share is to spritz some of your fave fragrance (mine is currently Imari Seduction by AVON-''A captivating scent of luscious plum and purple orchid and dark rose with tantalizing hints of warm vanilla. ")

onto a cotton ball and place it into your lingerie drawer! This makes your "pretties" smell so nice. You may refresh the fragrance as needed. 

     Just a few ideas that I had to share. Maybe you've come up with some ways to add a touch of beauty to your life...Please feel free to comment below and share your ideas with the rest of us!

Good morning blogger world !

 It is another beautiful day in the rolling countryside of Southeast USA :-)

We had a freeze last night, so there was a lovely covering of frost on everything this morning for my 8 a.m. walk with my dear daughter in law.

Now I'm sitting in the sunny crispness on my front porch swing with my cup of fresh, hot Colombian, awaiting the Farrier...

Lady, (a registered Tennessee Walker), and Splashmanian Devil, (a registered American Paint Horse), are both in their senior years enjoying a lot of free time-but they are still pleasant and ridable. Lady sports an especially thick coat of winter hair! I like to chase them around the pasture for our exercise time together some days. I don't have a round pen, so they like to try and hide in the corners and behind the trees, but I always "find" them, lol " )  They've gotten used to our little game, and keep looking at me to give them the signal to come in to the center with me for a horse treat and a good scratch! 

My New Skincare Update:

This is the line that I am trying out now...

So far, I'm really liking it. I DO see and feel a difference in my skin! I will say though, that it only takes a tiny bit of the Day Cream to do the job. It is a richer feeling cream than the Night Cream, (Counter to what you would expect), but I think it is because it contains SPF. I have found that gently "patting" it on using your fingertips all around your face and neck works well. 

AVON has a complete line of skincare for ALL types of skin---from teens on up. They also have a Naturals line! 

Just click on an image to connect with the AVON estore!

You can curl up with your mug of hot drink in your PJ's and shop 24/7....But you already knew that ; ) My AVON lady, Barbara Hardison has been great, and I'd like to support her business! Please fill her name in on the Representative Search and shop her store, won't you?

Well folks, I'd better go get the meat out of the freezer for dinner. I could sit here and chat with you for hours; there are SO many things we could talk about and share! SO many ways to add touches of beauty to our little world of influence. Don't forget to take time out for beauty today-observe it in your surroundings-surely there's something! If not,.....create some!! One of my absolute favorite sayings of late is:

"BE the change you want to see in the world..."

Go and Beautify!

(Then please come back and share how you did that where YOU are " )

Until next time, 

Lisa
