My mom's friend Frankie does this and she is quite a woman. Long ago my husband and I got in a Coleman canoe and paddled from my mother's home to hers across a river in Northern Idaho. <br /><br />Her home is full of memories. She has a hugh clock that used to be in station in Los Angeles. Mom gave her my childhood Easter basket so it is in the mix, too. <br /><br />But I am like you, Hostess. Too much cramps my style.

Is it OK for your skin. I agree with Adrienne that it breaks capillaries. I like to think that I've always been conscious of practicing random acts of kindness, perhaps been more aware of it this month, but it's part of my usual consciousness. I'm enjoying the slower pace right now, and have been doing a lot of knitting. Also getting in a lot of time at my studio and painting. Wonderful outdoor walks too.

I think you're smart to do it yourself so you can control the intensity and stay away from delicate areas. Some people have thick skin and can really benefit from micro treatments. I am not one of those people. I have to be very gentle! <br />I am still practicing my acts of kindness. I think I am on #20 of #28. I like that by doing this, I am keeping kindness in the forefront of my mind. So when someone cuts me off, instead of getting mad, I think - oh, she must be in a big hurry or maybe she just didn't see me. I am trying to think the best about people rather than the worst. <br />You and I wear the same lipstick! Don't you just love the creamy texture and great colors? And the price is pretty great too. <br />xo, AAdrienne Shubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05826463555838820028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-38726324070577776282013-01-10T07:39:47.197-08:002013-01-10T07:39:47.197-08:00No supplying here either.

I love it - on slightly damp skin.<br />Off for my Thursday walk and to exchange Belfry tickets - not very exciting but wonderfully predictable and soothing in that very predictability.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.com
