Gertrude's Secret

It is a special week around here. This week I have two friends who are turning 50. (It seems to be going around these days.) And I was wondering what type of small present I could give them to commemorate their coming of age...

Enter Gertrude.


Gertrude has a lot of life experience. She's actually 90 years young and thinks that 50 is just the beginning. The only problem with 50, she says, is that renegade hairs start sprouting from your chin and lip and God knows where else...she even saw one the other day when she was putting on her brassiere...Now don't ask where that was...

And the problem is...we start getting hairs just about the time that we begin losing our eyesight...Somehow, I imagine that our younger friends must overlook our dishabille when a gnarly-looking coarse hair moves up and down on our lip as we delicately sip our afternoon tea...


Don't worry. There's help.


Gertrude is sharing her secret and recommends tweezing just after getting out of the pool or the shower...And she says that Tweezerman makes the best tweezers. They will grasp even the most evasive hairs...and she recommend a 10X travel magnifying mirror so that you can see the blasted intruders.


So I made a little case to house my friends' new beauty tools...And I've joined the fight against female facial hair. It's a cause worth fighting for!


And as I'm walking out the door to take it down the street, there is a light dusting of snow on all the trees and bushes...

It's the perfect setting to show off the fabric postcard that was sent to me by my BNF in France Veronique~ Thank you Veronique! This is my first-ever fabric postcard and I LOVE it.


And as for the rest of you, I'm in the category of being too blind now to see your unwanted facial hair. So to me...


Until next time!
