Ending the Relationship - The Why

50 Shades of Sharon is All About Recreating Yourself at Any Age and More

At the age of 65 (will be 66 in 33 more days), I'm starting a blog! My main topic of conversation today is why I'm recreating myself (again) at my tender age.

About a month ago, I decided that my 10 year relationship with my domestic partner had become toxic. How do we know when a relationship becomes toxic? I found this explanation (among many) on the internet, of course. 

Healthy or toxic relationship? Let's evaluate. – RAMPAGE

Not all of the listed signs may apply. I tend to think that if most of the signs apply, you are in a toxic relationship. I want to add that you ARE allowed to terminate a toxic relationship. 

Taking this into consideration:

You now have the why.

Stop back tomorrow and you'll get a glimpse of the HOW the recreation will take place! 

 BEAUTY TIPS

I have 5 years experience in the cosmetic, skin care, and fragrance industry. After leaving the fabulous  and colorful world of beauty products, I continued to learn and experiment. Here's something I'd like to share with you.

Today's Tip - Cosmetic brushes should be kept clean, conditioned, and dried properly.

Save money on expensive cleaning sprays and solutions for your make-up brushes. It's super simple to mix a bottle of brush cleaner. These items are probably already in your home. 

Mix together (in a spray bottle)

Bottled water  - 1 cup

Shampoo - 1 tablespoon

Hair conditioner - 1 tablespoon

Leaving a Toxic Relationship - When Enough is Enough

Rubbing alcohol - 1/4 cup

Empty spray bottle 

Shake well! Your cosmetic brush cleaner is ready to use.

Drying your cosmetic brushes properly is just as important.  

Never dry your brushes in an upright position. This will cause the brush to fall apart because water trickles down into the base, and causes the glue to become loose. 

The best way to dry a brush is upside down, and that's not always a choice.  So, sop up excess water with a clean hand towel giving the brush-head a gentle squeeze, reshape the bristles, allow the brush head to hang over the edge of the counter while drying.

Miller's Tavern in Vegas July 7, 2022

Image
Miller's Tavern is a great place to chill out. Sitting on a well-groomed golf course called Palm Valley,  it's located in the Sun City Community in Summerlin, Las Vegas, NV.  This is an adult community and requires that at least one member of the household must be at least 55 years of age and no household member can be under 18. Needless to say, it's a quiet and peaceful place. Today, I met with a group of 18 people at Miller's for lunch and play time. The group's favorite game is Rummikub, a tile-based game for 2-4 players. It's a great past-time on a hot, summer day in the desert.  About Miller's Tavern If you live in Las Vegas, NV, Miller's is a fun place to dine and enjoy various activities. This full service restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the bar or in the dining room. If it's not to hot, another option is the outdoor patio facing the golf course. In the bar area, gaming machines offer Poker, Black Jack, and Slots, just to nam...

Death Does NOT Become Her

Each life experience changes the things that lie within the deepest chambers of our hearts and the inner core of our souls. Among those experiences is the death of a person that you loved more than most.  January 1, 2020, the clock struck the hour of "death" and the bad news was delivered. My brother was found dead in his bathtub. My mother was in her room on the second story, oblivious to the passing of her only son.  Earlier that day, my brother's neighbors noticed a build-up of deliveries on his front porch, and the mail had started to accumulate. One of those neighbors decided to investigate the scene. He went up to the door, knocked, rang the bell, approached the side door and slider, but to no avail. The windows were locked, and nothing could be seen from the outside.  The police were summoned. Upon arrival, they banged on the doors, yelled out, but no reply, no signs of life. They decided to force entry. The odor of death was in the air as they yelled out the word ...

Las Vegas Fun Times

Image
Las Vegas Fun Times is my new baby! In all honesty, I wasn't ready to launch this new meetup group. Much to my surprise, when I stepped-up to the plate to become the Organizer of  "Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives!", the new group went live. Yikes! It had been sitting in "draft" mode since early April.  Needless to say, I began my day scrambling to get things up to par. With the graphic in place and my intro complete (at least for now), I posted my first event, Happy Hour at The Hawthorn Grill. As luck would have it, a dear friend is celebrating her 70th birthday this month.  I'm very hopeful that this will be a memorable birthday for my Vegas sister.   Getting back to giving birth to a new group, I'm excited once again! Life is giving me new things, and I'm welcoming and embracing the new adventures and opportunities. I'm feeling right at home again; doing my happy dance.  "Good Times" by Chic
