L’Oréal Lumi foundation review

Hi ya Gorgeous! Happy Memorial Day! 

This video is part greeting for the holiday and part review of this new foundation that I am loving! I found it first at the CVS but didn't buy - then, found again at Walmart and purchased for $5 less! I admit, this did get a bit chatty. 

So to skip ahead to the actual review go to the 7 minute mark to begin. If you would like to try the L'Oreal True Match Lumi foundation - this Amazon affiliate link will take you to the page - and thank you for shopping with me! https://amzn.to/3goAalO

Rolling Thunder today in Washington DC - a remembrance for POW/MIA

 Hi ya Gorgeous,

Oh my prayer for you is that today, you are enjoying your loved ones, good foods and fun!  Though, as all of the good timin' is going on, please remember the reason why we in the United States, have tomorrow set aside, it's known as Memorial Day.

Memorial Day is a solemn day of remembrance for everyone who has died serving in the American armed forces. The holiday, originally known as Decoration Day, started after the Civil War to honor the Union and Confederate dead.  It has continued to be honored and celebrated as a way to give remembrance and  honor to the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971.

To everyone riding today in Rolling Thunder, be safe, have fun and most importantly, 

 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!

Use the hashtag #ROLLINGTHUNDER on social media to find videos of the ride happening! It's a beautiful thing to see. Ooh rah!

TGIF-Murad Skincare Prescription via Rita and oh so Dagoba this Friday is!

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Are you ready for the weekend? This long holiday weekend? It's Memorial Day, time to honor the fallen military and respect those military who are currently serving the United States worldwide.

From my heart to yours, THANK YOU USA MILITARY!

This weekend is odd: it had a full bevy of plans and events. They got cancelled. I would have traveled with my son, but I had the events. Now, in trying to rebook the events/gigs for the weekend, I am getting an inordinate amount of spam! Darn it!

So let's talk:

It's Friday, #TGIF! There is a whirlwind going on! In the meanwhile, I need to be practicing better self care. Enter my Murad Skincare routine prescribed by the most gorgeous gal ever, Miss Rita the esthetician at the Murad Spa in El Segundo CA.

 Now the spa skincare prescription regime!

Bless God it's Memorial Day!

I enjoy Memorial Day for the time of remembrance to honor fallen soldiers and those military persons who have sacrificed for my freedoms. Below are some ideas of how to help active duty soldiers.

Remember to pray for soldiers and their families. It works!

• Send your support to members of the armed forces. Any Soldier is a great organization where service members post what their units’ needs and wants. You can send letters and packages directly to the unit and it will get into the hands of those who don’t get much or any ^mail first.
• Visit your local veterans hospital. Take flowers or homemade goodies and spend some time listening to those who fought and lived to tell their stories.
Our community suggested more great ways to help copied and pasted from the comments below:
• Donate handmade greeting cards for troops to send home. Join Operation Write Home in sending blank handmade greeting cards to write home on.
• Volunteer to assemble care packages. Help Operation Gratitude assemble care packages to send to troops deployed in Afghanistan , Iraq , and on ships at sea. (via Cathy)

p.s. speaking of Memorial Day, just how grateful are you for the service and sacrifice of the soldiers of the United States of America? If you pass a veteran, or an active duty soldier, be sure and tell them how much you appreciate them. Better yet, if you see a mom of a soldier, tell her thank you for raising such an amazing son or daughter! Thanks!
