Rythmic Gymnastics A New Begining

Recently I bought an rythmic gymnastics ball and rope off amazon.com. I am old, 42, but I wanted to improve my hand-eye-body coordination in an artistic and fun way.

I used a lot of YouTube tutorials, but especially these;

I've only been doing this a couple of weeks, but I cannot believe how much my ball handling skills have improved. And I have grown in flexibility like I never thought I could.

It goes to show you can do anything, just start with the basics and practice every day.

Suave Haul

Left to Right: Bodywash "Ocean Breeze," Bodywash "Milk & Honey," Bodywash "Verbana." Shampoo and Conditioner "Sun-ripened Strawberry"

I have allergies, so I really like Suave. Much of their product line is hypo-allergenic and full of natural ingredients. It is also very affordable and available at many drug and discount stores.

Ocean Breeze Bodywash is mild fresh, and tropical in a clean and invigorating way.

Milk & Honey Bodywash is my favourite Bodywash by Suave. It is very moisturising and has a silky feel. The soothing scent is of wild honey.

Verbana Bodywash is a creamy, relaxing potion with the scent of almonds. It goes on silky smooth in the shower.

Sun-ripened Strawberry Shampoo and Conditioner are my favourite hair products. The scent is light and fresh and of natural strawberries. The conditioner is very moisturizing and the shampoo does not strip the hair but leaves it feeling clean.

Overall I'd call this a successful, inexpensive haul from Suave. I'd definitely buy all these products again.

E.l.f. Haul

OK, so I had a $10.00 USD gift certificate to Target. There is only so much one can do with $10.00. I decided to splurge a bit on E.l.f. make-up and brushes.

First off I needed eye primer, and the $1.00 Sheer eye primer does the job. I have been performing with a dance troupe lately, and this was simply a necessity.

Next up I got the $2.00 E.l.f. blush, in blushing. It is a nice cool pink, with some shimmer. I only have three lipsticks, and this seems to look good with all of them.

The concealer brush I picked up was only a dollar, and made from natural fibers. Which I prefer. It is not the same as the tannish-yellow concealer brushes from E.l.f.years back. It might be good for concealer, as well as detailed eye shadow work.

The Bronzing and Total Face brushes were $2.00 each. They are no longer made from natural fibers, but vegan synthetic fiber. The old Total Face brush was really one of my favourites, so I hope this new one works for light dusting of powder.

The Bronzing brush I got for blush. It looks reasonable to do the job.
