Sharon: 'Get your Autumn Glam on!'

Flying over the Cascade Mountains
October 2013

Summer's over.  Autumn is here.  And with that, our surrounding colors change, from the leaves on the trees to the colors in your wardrobe; from your home decor to the color of your lipsticks.  Our colors turn from summer cool to autumn warm, so look for those burnt oranges, deep chocolates, and flaming reds (Destiny found hers) for your wardrobe, make-up and home decor.

Destiny is busy helping Jacquie
get her GLAM on!

"Open those eyes real big, Mom," Destiny instructs.

A few Autumn TiPs:  

   Pick out what you're going to wear the night before; this will save time when you're dashing around with coffee in hand.

   Make sure you start the day with a healthy smoothy (in one of Jacquie's previous blogs).
 
   Brighten your smile with a burnt orange lipstick.  Oh yeah, don't forget to brush those pearly-whites.  I can apply my make-up in five minutes, so there's no excuse not to add some GLAM to your pretty little face.  The hair?  Well, that's another story, and since I don't like fussing with my hair, I take every short-cut possible.

   Take time to go for a brisk early morning walk, or a leisurely evening stroll.  As the days grow colder and darker, exercising is essential.  Choose something you love to do...well, perhaps like is a better word (the GLITS gals love to zumba once a week together at the local dance studio)

I found my Autumn blouse!

Now, wasn't that fun and easy?  Now, go out and knock em' dead!   Be joyful.  Our joy comes from the Lord, so spend time with Him.  Acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.

Go in peace.
  The presence of the Lord be with you
on  your way.

Judges 18:6 NKJV

Sharon says, "Summer's here! Get down with your bad self!"

Keeping cool in Belize

Summer's here so if we want to stay cool we must shed some of our clothes. Yay!  And perhaps a few pounds.  Bummer.  I've been trying to shed some pounds for months now, with not much success.  I lose ten, gain six.  Lose two, gain one.  So today I made a decision.  Whether I lose or not, I am going to join our Golden Hills Country Club so I can have access to that gorgeous swimming pool.  My plan: to drive our golf cart down the lane, park it, and lounge by the the cool blue sparkling waters all summer long.  In the mornings, at midday, or at twilight.  And while I'm there, I'm going to float on my back, dog paddle, and perhaps swim a few laps.  I refuse to allow these extra pounds keep me from enjoying my sun-filled southern sultry summer days.  

I've already joined my daughter and granddaughter for a night out dancing at the club (a one-hour weekly www.SaSuBe.com dance class.)  All I can say is WOW, what a work-out!  I'm sure that I'm making my Aunt Eunice proud.  Since entering my mid-sixties, I've learned that no matter how much, or how little, we do for our health, the important thing is to keep moving.  Do I hear a big Amen?  Okay, a little one will do.

How about you?  What can you do this summer to get down with your bad self ?  Perhaps walk the dog an extra block?  Park the car a little farther from the Piggly Wiggly Market?  Don't shut me down now ... you know I'm right.  Okay, I can hear someone saying,  'So why don't you walk to the pool instead of drive your cute little golf cart?'  Bummer, again.

Remember, whatever you do, be creative--have fun with it and add a smile to that pretty face--you always look better when you're smiling!

I wish you smooth summer days and may oceans of creativity flood your soul.

Popcorn always looks cool!

Why hasn't anyone asked me to go clubbing?
