I work w/ Chelsey. One day we got to talking about Devenir Aesthetics tattoo removal process. She had been thinking about getting a tattoo she got when when she was a teenager removed. I believe she said it meant 'Wild Thing', which I'm waiting for the stories behind that. Anyway, she said she was going to give Devenir Aesthetics a call, and see what could be done.
A few days later, she let me know she was headed to Devenir for her first treatment. Devenir has the latest tattoo removal technology 'Fotona' by Lumneis. The treatments are given by TRUSTED CERTIFIED Lase Technicians Alissa & Carol who have over 0 years experience just at Devenir Aesthetics. The average tattoo takes about 10-12 treatments, depending on the size and color(s). If you are thinking about getting a revision tattoo, getting the ink out of the area helps out a tattoo artist.

Today is World Turtle Day! I thought in honor of today I'd throw some love out to the little guy my Honey Ted & I ran into at the Texas State Aquarium in CC this past weekend! He's on a mission...
Turtle Day encourages you to discover the world of turtles and tortoises, and to learn how you can help to protect and help them to thrive. Some ideas include dressing up as turtles, saving turtles on roads, or getting involved in turtle research.

Word came out that my favorite player on the Chicago Bears team.. Brian Urlacher is retiring. Growing up in Omaha, Nebraska w/ no pro team to cheer for, Nebraska Cornhuskers were close, but I decided on Da Bears when I was in grade school. I was born in Chicago, but grew up in Omaha. I figured it made sense. BRIAN IS THE DEFENSIVE POWERHOUSE, and it's going to be hard watching the Bears play without him. I wish him well in his retirement, if that is really what he'll do. Could Brian pull a Bret Favre?
One of my favorite Urlacher moments...
THANK YOU BRIAN FOR PUTTING IN ALL YOUR BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS PLAYING FOR DA BEARS FOR SO MANY YEARS! YOU WILL BE MISSED ON THE FIELD! YOU ROCK BRIAN!!

Dr. Patel says that nose surgery is the hardest because you must take care in how it looks and also the function. He believes in keeping things natural and refreshed looking. He can create the finished look of procedures through the latest in photo-morphing technology.

This hasn't been my favorite American Idol season, but I think there is a BIG TALENT coming out of it! I think AI got lucky w/ this one. I'm Team Candice all the way. I got goosebumps and my eyes were watering last night when she sang 'I (Who Have Nothing)' the most popular first version by Shirley Bassey. Candice got a standing ovation for this performance, and it was much deserved. THIS WAS AN AMERICAN IDOL MOMENT! CANDICE ROCKS!!

Today is the celebration of the Chicken Dance! I'm a fan, but my hubby Ted isn't. When we got married almost 12 years ago, he didn't want it played during our reception. I of course wanted it, and the DJ must have known that, because I didn't ask for it. During the reception he had Ted & I get on the dance floor and have all our guests circle around us to represent the 'Circle Of Love'. Sounds like a 'Lion King Moment' huh... but it became 'Chicken Dance Moment'. Ted smiled and started doing the dance w/ me and pretty soon everyone at the reception was doing it with us!
Don't forget to break out your best 'Chicken' sometime today. Who cares who is watching! Have fun!
I'm not the smoothiest when it comes to putting eyeliner on. Especially when it comes to a liquid eyeliner. I usually have one line thicker on one eye than the other, and forget about a nice clean eyeliner line. I found some gel eyeliner by Jane at Nordstrom's Rack, so I gave it a try and found this is more of an eyeliner that goes w/ my skills. You use a brush to make the line, but the gel is a bit more forgiving than liquid and stays on way longer than just a wet eyeshadow eyeliner line, which I do on occassion. I was looking to see if I could find another affordable gel liner.
When I was in Ulta in Sunset Valley over the weekend, I discovered Rimmel London's Scandaleyes Waterproof Gel Eyeliner. Well, actually Ted ran acrossed it and showed it to me. It was between $5-$6 range, which was already a plus compared to what I was using, half the price. I haven't had great success w/ past use of Rimmel London. I tried a lipstick and it just didn't stay on, so I figured this would be the same way.
WRONG! I actually like it, or dare to say even MORE than LIKE it. I'm going on day 2 trying it. So far so good. It's easy to glide on w their brush. You can wipe without hassle if you go astray. My eyes are pretty sensitive, so they water easily with allergies and reactions to past makeups. This one.. ALL GOOD! So far doesn't make my eyes water, and it stays one when my allergies kick in. I'm a fan so far of this gel eyeliner. Thumbs up! I'll give it a week and see what happens. I'll let you know if things change. Might want to give it a try. See how it does for you!
