Well, again the most important thing to do is keep the dead skin cells off the face....they build up every 22 to 25 days. When they aren’t taken off you just plaster them on with creams and lotions...month after month.
I can look at a womans face and tell right away if she has a buid up...it’s noticable...additionally the lines and wrinkles will be deeper for that.
When people have dematologists use various methods to smooth the skin...what they are really doing is getting off those dead skin cells.
I saw woman addicted to face treatments. There skin was so dry and tight...red and inflammed and yet still they wanted more! They are as badly disturbed as people with eating disorders...they see themselves very differently then what we see.
Oh I love recitals. I have been in numerous piano recitals growing up. Hope you have fun! ((hugs))
Ours are not just piano, but guitar, drums, and voice, and we all bring SNACKS! Yum Yum!
...per the puppy....that is just WRONG!! LOL!
What a precious graphic, M.L.!
And what a busy time ahead for you! I was concerned until I saw where you said you looked forward to these every year! I bet its wonderful and you can see all your progress for the hard work you’ve put into all this! When will this recital be taking place and where, for goodness sake??? LOL!
I know, Luv! You can tell the puppy is not a happy camper but gotta admit, its cute!
aterday!I was in piano recitals, too. Parents dressed us all up and each of us performed our ‘pieces’. Parents also gave their child a special gift. We had refreshments like cake and punch. And I can always remember I was nervous doing my selection and happy when mine was over!
I also remember my teacher was hateful and fussed at me a lot.
She was just out of college, just married and expecting her first child. She took all her frustrations out on the students, I suppose. She made me cry several times and I always begged Mama to let me quit.
Awwwww....they are soooo cute, Luv!
It IS cute! LOL! Puppy looks so embarrassed! :)
It does!! *grin*
Guess what my piano teacher’s name was?? Mrs. Presley! Elvis was on the scene a few years later...LOL!
What a pretty woman - Some people must have a pact with the devil or something like that. :)
A famous art collector is walking through the city when he notices a mangy cat lapping milk from a saucer in the doorway of a store and he does a double take.
He knows that the saucer is extremely old and very valuable, so he walks casually into the store and offers to buy the cat for two dollars.
The store owner replies, “I’m sorry, but the cat isn’t for sale.
The collector says, “Please, I need a hungry cat around the house to catch mice. I’ll pay you twenty dollars for that cat.”
And the owner says “Sold,” and hands over the cat.
The collector continues, “Hey, for the twenty bucks I wonder if you could throw in that old saucer. The cat’s used to it and it’ll save me from having to get a dish.”
And the owner says, “Sorry buddy, but that’s my lucky saucer. So far this week I’ve sold sixty-eight cats.”
I have two of them, because I have so many students. We hold the recitals in the “clubhouses” that are in the community. Since they don’t have tuned pianos in these places, I have to bring my own.
And the PA system. And my bass and amps, and usually a coffeemaker too! LOL.
I can fit the piano and the PA in my Vibe, but the coffeemaker and the amps go in hubby’s Mustang.
My First recital piece was Fur Elise. I practiced it constantly on my Mother’s lovely Steinert Spinet Piano which had a lovely soft action. I had it Perfect! So WHAT did my wicked eevil Piano Teacher do? She rented an 11 foot Steinway Concert Grand piano for the event. The action was so heavy and stiff that I was unable to put ANY nuance or dynamics into the piece! It was heinous, and I was so embarrassed I though I would DIE. I also wanted to sing “The Shadow of Your Smile” as my solo vocal, but the teacher said it was too sexy for a 6th grader, and she forced me to sing “Somewhere My Love” from Dr. Zhivago instead. I really don’t enjoy these things UNLESS I am running the whole show! (LOL)
And yes, goodies are always good to top a recital off with! Mmmm Mmmm!
Awwww.......look at those sweet faces! Who could resist them?
