Midlife Musings

Reflections on life from 40-something

Somethings I want to try– and also not

April15

So, I was reading my issue of InStyle this past week, and ripping out pages of stuff I want to try out. Yeah, I know, I am probably the last person you’d expect to read that mag, but I like it.

Anyway, item number one, and also recommended by my friend Deb, is the new croc shoes. They have new and different, not quite so hideously ugly, styles. Including these. Only, I want them in brown and pink instead of black on black. And then, there’s Aveeno Skin Brightening Daily Scrub. It was rated as one of the best beauty buys, and it is supposed to cleanse and exfoliate without being harsh and drying. We’ll see about that. And finally, the Neutrogena nourishing eye duos. I love an eye shadow, and these colors look yummy. If they are good for my skin, too, then I am sold. Dreaming by Tommy Hilfiger smells heavenly, but I don’t think I will be trying it anytime soon. I just got Poison in January, and I don’t think I can justify another spendy fragrance splurge just yet.

Here’s what I didn’t like so much: huge bags and ultra high heels. First huge bags look ridiculous on me, because I am little. And second, how can I juggle a suitcase, and chase kids while wearing 5 inch platforms? Now, I know I just bought some over the top high heels, but I plan to carry a very small bag when I wear them ;)

I'm Cass. I am a full-time mom to eight great children, a Christian and a blogger. I'm also a knitter, a reader and a movie watcher. And a collector of eclectic oddities.

For the first time in 18 and a half years, I have my own little corner again. Somewhere along the way, I seem to have lost myself, and now that I realize I'm missing, I'm on the look out for me. You maybe don't know what that means, but then again, maybe you do. Regardless, this is where I'll be when I'm not being a mother or a knitter. This is where I'll be just me. And if no one ever reads it, that's ok. I'll know it's here.
