Newtown, Connecticut
Anita, this is a touching and beautiful tribute. I cannot put words to the grief I feel, even from afar and not personally knowing anyone affected by this tragedy. But I think this affects all of us in some way. I know for myself, and I can hear it in your post, too, that our hearts are broken. May God be with those who are bearing such excruciating grief.
Dearest Anita, this is a wonderful post and i'm so touched by the beauty of it. What happened in CT is so unbelievable and horrible. Life goes on for these parents and christmas is coming without their kids ... And you are right about the borrowed breaths and stolen moments - sometimes, they are our only rescue and possibilty to find faith, hope and love. Hope your sunday is filled with these moments dear one! xox
ReplyDeleteDear Anita: In God I find refuge when i cannot find answers or when I question the purpose and sense of life. In Buddha's teaching, I find peace and calmness. I will pray to day to accept the cruel imperfections of life. With only a few degrees of separation, I will spend time with my friend today, whose son lost his little friend on that fateful morning. May this horrific act of insanity be a wake up call to parents, to society, to guns video games designers whose mass marketed videos are solely based on violence and have desensitized the act of killing, to Hollywood...please invest in movies that show the good in people... Let us hope and pray.
ReplyDeleteAs one mother said, the only difference between me and 20 other grieving mothers is chance and luck. I was in that town almost every weekend and considered moving there. It hits too close to home and makes me hug my son just a little bit tighter over the holidays.
My heart goes out to those suffering and I pray that comfort finds its way in to their hearts.
A beautiful and moving tribute to a senseless tragedy. I am just reeling from this.....there really are not words to convey the sadness. I grieve along with all those families. I just cannot imagine. I hope God will keep them close under his wing and protect and guide them during these dark days. I hope you have a relaxing Sunday, Anita.
ReplyDeleteHi Anita. Thank you for your lovely comments about my work. And thank you for sharing with me about Violet Skiles. I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at her art.
You asked about my header. Yes, I did do the drawings that are used in the header. But Karen Valentine used them to create my blog design. She is wonderful. You can see her link at the bottom of my sidebar.
Thanks for stopping by and chatting!
I could not listen to the music at this time as well. Music tends to create such powerful emotions and I already am over the top. The emotions come in waves and as I write they come even more and I am only an observer I cannot imagine being one there. Even without the music your post is an expression of the love within and surrounds us in our sorrow.
ReplyDeleteSafe in the arms of Jesus
Holy days and Holy nights
We humbly fall to our knees with grief knowing that we took prayers out of schools, but now we pray in our schools. Now we know when man fails, we need our savior so desperately. He is the only one who can heal the hearts of mankind in such grief.
You were one of the teachers I thought of that day.I thought,how can these teachers all over the US keep teaching with peace of mind.Knowing how I personally struggle with anxiety, the Lord knew I couldn't handle being a teacher in these days.May the Lord of all give you complete peace daily as you teach.Love Denise...............and please, You both have a blessed Christmas-Enjoy eachothers company.
What a beautiful tribute to the children and adults who lost their lives in Connecticut. The song you chose is perfect.
When I saw that white horse, it took my breath away. Our white horse Dapper went to heaven several years ago. I always picture him greeting the people who arrive in heaven. I could see several little children riding on his back showing the children the sights of heaven.
Such a beautiful post, so much expresses what is in my heart. You always can capture visually what we all feel in our hearts.
Oh my goodness Anita .. this is an amazing piece. Your speak the truth, they are angels.
I've had to take a little bit of an ostrich in the sand approach with this. It's so painful .. I can only take so much. The hearts will never heal. The scar will remain and I pray the families will recover to some degree.
Wishing you a season filled with love and gratitude.
Dear Anita,
A beautiful tribute and poignant post.. a most shocking, heartbreaking and sickening tragedy that I am at a loss to understand.
Christmas... always a time of great joy but now tinged with so much sadness...
Thank you for this.... you have such a way with beauty... and every post you create inspires me to try that much harder.
Enjoy the holidays and I wish you and your family a heathy, safe and happy Christmas... Much love, Vicki xv..

Hello dearest Anita!!!!
My husband & I were deeply saddened & SHOCKED by what happened in CT last Friday!!!! I really don't have many words- it's so difficult to wrap my head around- WHY?!!!! Why did that kid do such a horrible thing!!!!
I cry every time I see CNN and those beautiful children's photos and those amazing teachers!!!!! All heros!!!!!
It's so amazing to see all the family and friends supporting them. You can see how close these families are. I pray for them and only wish them peace and healing.
I can't believe Christmas is coming so fast!!!!
We're supposed to get some strange weather overnight. It's been mild here (50's) but it's supposed to storm overnight & get COLD!!!! Snow is expected north of here.
I wouldn't mind a pretty snowfall but I think we're too south of the storm.
Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday evening....
Luv & Hugs,
You are creating in your basement! What joy...are you almost done? Please do take a photo and share!
Well no more school for me for 2 weeks..yahoo...but I am afraid I may have caught the BUG..my stomach is doing something crazy tonight and I am praying I am not in for a long night...my students all have this dreaded stomach flu...I will try to go to bed early tonight and try to sleep it off...Have a great evening my friend...only a few more days tell Christmas. xo
Dear girl,
Replying to your glorious message over at mine. Before I enter lighthearted banter, I am more than aware that this post of yours was very sensitive, and about something terribly distressing. I have posted already on that subject. Something that still continues to shock me.....
Onto lighthearted banter. Y Fronts are men's pants. They have an upside down Y shape on the front and are not attractive. Google them!
Why are you on your own? Don't like the sound or thought of it.
What's going on?
x x xx x x
Hi Anita!
Your post is very moving...
I have been so deeply saddened by the shooting in CT...
it's such a nightmare. I am saddened for the tremendous grief that the families will endure,
Many years ago, a friend of mine lost a child ... Her daughter was going into sixth grade (same age and grade as my daughter, Rachael) when she caught a virus that was so deadly...it took her life in 24 hours.
I will never, ever forget the heart wrenching grief that my friend suffered. Every holiday, every major event that Rachael experiences, I think of my friend...
People think they know how to stop this... Gun control, armed guards...
Only teachers know how violent media (movies and video games) have become such a part of the lives of the young men we teach.
I have students that have Xbox in their bedrooms and never sleep at night. They are so addicted, their parents have no idea how to control their sons.
They come to school tired, dazed and with no homework done.
Having an armed guard might help if a gunman is "polite" and comes through the front door... But when you have an assault weapon, or any weapon for that matter, do you worry how you're going to enter a building that is half brick and half GLASS?
I think the "talking heads" which includes our politicians ... forget what a school looks like!
My classroom has so much glass!
My daughter, Amanda's classroom is on the first floor and one wall is solid windows.
How foolish it is for people to think that a new "rule" or door locks will help.
I'm sorry I just made a speech!
Thank God for his precious son, Jesus, who brings peace and joy and love to the world,
And we do need "a little Christmas" right now...
Pure Christmas...in our hearts always ...
Joy and love to you!
~ Maria
Anita first hello, I saw your comment on Amish again about that comment moderation for your blog. I did post a comment for you on your Dec 8 post on how to do that, so I have copied and pasted it for you again here.
I thought that I would answer that question on your own blog instead of my own, so here is that answer again and if you should have any questions please feel free to ask me. You can also shut down comments for one particular post if you wish, so I'm not sure if that was what you were going for with your question.
I looked for an email address on all of your blogs but had no luck so I would have emailed you that instead of posting a comment. Merry Christmas to you and your family and I truly thank you for having stopped by my little blog with your great comments, I will still be blogging when I get back in late Spring, only this time it will be on a much more limited basis (part-time) with only my own images of the country side and Amish life thrown-in. Your non-Amish pal........ Richard
Here is that comment that I copied.
Hey Anita....... I saw your question so I'm here to hopefully answer it. Ok first go to where it says "settings", then click on "post and comments".
Then Anita it will say "Comment Moderation, that is where you can pick from "always or sometimes and never. For myself right after Christmas since I will be gone from my blog for a while I will be going the "always" route, so when I get into my dashboard I will see any comments that have been left for me to check and approve to be published.
I hope this helps and please feel free to ask again if your having trouble with that. I maybe should have gone this way from the start to help prevent any salty language which I sometimes get or spam, hope to see you on the Little House post this Thursday which will have the last recipe for this week.
Singing is that the act of manufacturing musical sounds with the voice, and augments regular speech by the employment of each musical notation and rhythm. I am very impress with your vocal course opportunity.

The conditions you mention have been present with the fglrx drivers for some time. However, not all users experience these X crashing problems; in fact, most generally do not have those problems. I have worked on over a dozen ATI fglrx systems so far with the 2.6.17/2.6.18 kernel and not a single one has had any problems, granted they were using FC5/FC6 and not Slackware.
Your statement of ATI releasing drivers without testing them seriously, is inaccurate. ATI maintains a relatively large Beta testing team that is comprised of the public as well, and with that said each release generally goes through a fair amount of testing.
Your best bet for seeing this problem resolved is to submit those bugs to the unofficial ATI Linux BugZilla. If I recall correctly, those bugs are already in the system so just be sure to add your details appropriately.

To explosively pound out a liquified dump, typically in to a toilet but not exclusively, that sprays uncontrollably all over the sidewalls of the bowl and your own ass. Due to it's uncontrollability and power, many people have spackled there pants, own legs and anything in a 4' radius just short of sitting down. It often resembles what pudding being fired out of a shotgun would look like.
I drank 20 budweisers last night and went on to spackle not only my undies but the toilet bowl, seat, my legs, shoes and bathroom floor.

ITC Avant Garde Gothic®
- Designer: Tom Carnase
- Design foundry: Adobe
- Source: ITC
The ITC Avant Garde Gothic® design was one of the first typeface families released by ITC – and continues to be one of its most popular. The basis for the typeface was created in the late 1960s for a new magazine conceived by the forward-thinking publisher and editor, Ralph Ginzburg. The publication was called, fittingly, Avant Garde. Herb Lubalin created the logo and Tom Carnase drew the alphabet based on Lubalin's sketches.
OpenType® technology makes a complete version of ITC Avant Garde Gothic possible, offering the full breadth of Lubalin and Carnase's design. ITC Avant Garde Gothic Pro includes all the original characters plus a suite of additional cap and lowercase alternates, new ligatures and a collection of biform characters (lowercase letters with cap proportions). The original design contained a suite of 33 alternate characters and logotypes; ITC Avant Garde Gothic Pro more than doubles this number.

Arroyo, Feldman enter opener on hot streaks
Reds righty on scoreless run; Cubs foe coming off hot month
For the second time this month, the Reds and Cubs will meet for a three-game series, beginning Friday at Great American Ball Park.
Cincinnati goes into the weekend looking for results similar to their matchup at Wrigley Field in early May, when the Reds swept the Cubs to kick-start a streak in which they've won 14 of their last 18 games. Chicago, meanwhile, hopes to avoid dropping its third series of the season to the Reds; Cincinnati also took two of three the last week of April.
The series opener will be Bronson Arroyo's first start against the Cubs in 2013. Unfortunately for the Cubs, they couldn't have run into the 36-year-old right-hander at a worse time.
Arroyo heads into Friday coming off back-to-back shutout outings against the Brewers and Phillies. Giving up five hits in each of those two starts, Arroyo most recently went 7 2/3 innings on Saturday in Philadelphia, though he said he wasn't as sharp as he'd like to be.
"Everything worked out today," Arroyo said. "I didn't think anything was outstanding, but everything collectively was a good mix against this lineup."
The good news for the Cubs, who wrapped up a three-game series in Pittsburgh on Thursday, is that their starter on Friday, right-hander Scott Feldman, is in the midst of his own hot streak. Since taking the loss in each of his first three starts, Feldman is 4-0 with a 1.37 ERA in his past five. He also has a pair of shutout outings in that span, including 6 2/3 scoreless innings in an 8-2 win over the Mets on Saturday.
"His last five starts, he's been as good as anybody in baseball," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said.
It's been more than just Feldman, however. The Cubs staff as a whole has recorded 28 quality starts this season.
"Throughout all of baseball, you see runs are down and pitching is up and the quality starts [are up]," Sveum said. "St. Louis, Cincinnati, these guys have some really good rotations and then you put their bullpens in the mix and that's why they're 10, 12, 13 games over .500 because they get ahead in games and close them down. The pitching is as good as we've seen in a long time."
Reds: Coming home
Friday marks the Reds' return to Great American Ball Park after a nine-game road trip. Although Cincinnati improved on its early-season road woes by going 7-2 on that trip, the team has played its best ball at home this season.
Entering the weekend, the Reds are 16-6 in Cincinnati, making them one of the best home teams in baseball. The Reds began the year winning their first five home series for the first time since 1967, when the team won its first seven. Heading into Wednesday night's games, Cincinnati ranked third in the Majors with 120 runs scored at home, while the team's 2.87 home ERA ranked in the top five.
• Joey Votto (11) and Brandon Phillips (10) each extended hit streaks on Wednesday against the Mets. Votto went 2-for-3 with two RBIs, both of which came on his seventh home run in the third inning. Phillips also notched two hits and drove in two runs, giving him the NL lead with 40 RBIs.
• After Wednesday's game, Reds manager Dusty Baker revealed that Sean Marshall wasn't available because of possible inflammation in the 30-year-old left-hander's throwing shoulder. Marshall spent more than two weeks in April on the disabled list with left shoulder tendinitis, and he didn't feel quite right throwing before the game.
"We were kind of erring on the side of caution," Marshall said. "I did a little bit of exercise after the game. With this extra day of rest [Thursday], I will be back to how I've been feeling."
Cubs: Pitchers who can hit
Along with having one of the best rotations in baseball this season, the Cubs also have arguably the best hitting pitchers in the Majors.
In his first appearance of 2013 on Tuesday in Pittsburgh, Matt Garza hit a two-run double that gave Chicago pitchers a Major League-leading 13 RBIs this season. Two days before that, Travis Wood hit a two-run homer, which allowed the Cubs to join the Brewers as the only two teams to receive two home runs from their pitchers this season.
• The Cubs are hitting .216 with runners in scoring position this season, the lowest mark in the National League.
"The pitcher is on the ropes, not you, and I think that's our biggest problem in those situations," Sveum said. "We're letting [the pitchers] dictate the at-bat and we're not dictating those at-bats."
Worth noting
• Since the beginning of the 2012 season, the Reds are 17-5 against the Cubs, including a 6-3 record at Great American Ball Park.
• The Cubs' series in Cincinnati is the second leg of an eight-game road trip that started in Pittsburgh on Tuesday and ends on the South Side against the White Sox.
• In 51 career at-bats against Arroyo, Cubs left fielder Alfonso Soriano is hitting just .196 with 15 Ks.

I went to a local fair and they had an exhibit featuring Star Trek- it had props, costumes, scripts, sets the whole 9 yards everything you could want to see and more!
Now I am more of a Star Wars guy but I do love me some good Star Trek too! Lately, Amy and I have been working our way through the Star Trek movies (Thank you Netflix!). I started to think about what benefits/skills the Captains would bring to youth ministry:
Captain James T. Kirk
GO with the feeling inside- While Kirk went with his gut reaction, we have the Holy Spirit to guide us, and if we were smart we'd listen to it.
Keep a diverse team- Spock, McCoy, Uhura, Scott and Sulu. This is a team that is made up of people with different strengths and weaknesses. In ministry we often try to do everything on our own, but the fact is we all have weaknesses. We need to find people to work with who can fit within our weak spots and we need to let them shine.
Keep learning- If there was anything Kirk did really well, is he learned from others so he could adapt and be flexible. We need to do this in ministry to keep fresh, otherwise we become stale and less effective.
Captain Jean Luc Picard
Have your priorities in order- Picard always put his crew or the people he was helping before himself. He also made sure to always complete his prime directive of every mission. There is an order of who we need to take care of: Our families and ourselves then others- if we don't take care of ourselves we will be useless to work with anyone else.
Ask for help- One thing Picard did well was ask for help. When he knew he was beat he would get help. We need to do the same thing in ministry. Sometimes we need to get ideas from other people, sometimes we just need help getting a task done. No matter what you need help with, make sure you ask.
What are some leadership lessons you have learned?

how does this compare to SLim? SLim has even fewer dependencies; X11, libjpeg, libpng, freetype.
Phoronix: SDDM: A Lightweight QML-Based Display Manager
A Phoronix reader has announced his work on SDDM within the Phoronix Forums this weekend. SDDM is a very lightweight display management that takes advantage of Qt's QML...
how does this compare to SLim? SLim has even fewer dependencies; X11, libjpeg, libpng, freetype.
Last edited by cynyr; 01-19-2013 at 02:54 PM. Reason: Fixing link to SLiM
Yes but arent slim themes harder to write and get the same level of functionality in comparison to lightDM? The goal of lightdm was have a clean, modern, standardized core and then the greeter frontends could all be distro-specific with no problem. Want an update to lightdm? Rebase off mainline, slap your greeter right back on and youve got all the same benefits all the other distros do but still your branding.
Why yes, clearly *shaders* were the thing missing from login managers...
Slim themes are harder to write and somewhat restricted. In SDDM you write your theme however you want, just call the needed functions for authorization/shutdown/reboot when necessary, just like using a library. So you dont have to worry about the restrictions of the backend when designing your themes. Animations, transitions and all other stuff are bonus points.
Regarding LightDM, lets say I just wanted to scratch an itch and I am simply sharing it now.
What is wrong with adding the ability to use shaders? If most of us the window managers that are composited and gpu-accelerated, why shouldn't the display manager be? Why should we restrict ourselves and theme designers? Display manager is the one first things a user sees it has to be attractive, IMHO.
I would start right from QML2 and require OpenGL (ES), if I could use Qt5 easily in my distro of choice (Arch). If you dont want eye-candy or have a hardware that doesn't support hardware acceleration, you are free not to use it. Thanks.
I think a login manager should authenticate via:
* Bluetooth and NFC security tokens and smartphones
* USB sticks, dongles and security tokens
* Smart card
* Fingerprint
* LDAP and Active Directory

Ceramic Tools Round Brush
KatieHair Get's CaughtI have thick hair and this brush works great until my hair gets caught in the handle. I think I have the technique down to make sure it doesnt get caught, but its just painful and annoying. Not worth getting this brush for the hassle of loosing your hair in the handle, but a different one without this problem!posted Jan 28, 2008Link to this post
JoSmooth, Shiny HairWhen blowed dryed right, this brush definitely gives smoother, shinier hair than just regular blow drying. It doesnt work "magic" but I could definitely see the difference.posted Jan 23, 2008Link to this post
Tamara BerchtVancouver, BCGood BuyActually a brush that works as it should! Its cheap, works well when blowdrying your hair, and comes in good sizes. My hair sometimes gets caught in the brush between the handle and the round section, but overall helps dry your hair faster, holds on to an average amount of hair well, and is great for giving a little curl at the ends. I would buy this brush again if I had to.posted Jan 20, 2008Link to this post
CindyNot For Fine HairI have fine, shoulder length hair and purchased the medium size brush. I found the brush wouldnt hold my hair at all, my hair just fell off. Maybe the smaller brush wouldve been a better fit, but I also didnt like how the brush felt. The bristles seemed rough. I returned this brush.posted Nov 18, 2007Link to this post
Lisa VerhagenKenosha, WIJust OkNice brush but not what I expected. It seems plasticy to me and not ceramic like the title suggests.posted Oct 25, 2007Link to this post
BecSydney, AustraliaGreat BrushI have heard ceramic brushes are good so I tried these ones as they were very resonably priced. Infact they were so reasonably priced I brought all the sizes as I wasnt sure which size to use and as it turns out I use them all. I use the large brush to dry my hair off straight, the medium ones for waves and curls and the small one to tame my frizzies around the front. I find that if I roll parts of my hair up around the brush and heat the ceramic brush up with my hairdryer and leave them in a few moments until they have cooled it leaves me with lovely natural curls. These ceramic brushes are terrific. Thanks Ceramic Tools xoxoposted Sep 25, 2007Link to this post
KayTempe ArizonaCeramic Brushesthis is my first time using ceramic brushes. I have fine, thing hair and I get excellent styling with these, without all the wear and tear that other bristle brushes can do. Dont know why I waited so long to try one.posted Aug 17, 2007Link to this post

SarahToronto, OntarioCreates Shine But Snags The HairI bought two different sizes, which is nice as you get a slightly different look when you alternate using the two. The only thing I dont like is that my hair gets snagged on the handle as I rotate the brush when blowdrying. Does make my hair really shiny when used with my ionic blowdryer.posted Feb 5, 2007Link to this post

Customer Ratings:
I bought this for my neck and chest area. I could not believe how fast it improved the texture of my skin. The small bumps smoothed out and my skin looks healthier and brighter. It is not greasy either so there is no reason not to use it under clothing. I am really happy to have found another PC winner!!
I bought it as it is on sale and did not have such high hope. But this one is a winner! I just got myself another one while it is still on sale! I love my elbows now.
I love this body treatment. It leaves skin softened and healthy looking. I even use it on face and neck. I've been using it since April and just ordered another bottle a couple of weeks ago. The real test will be winter, of course, but I'm enjoying this for now.
I got this for my neck and chest, hoping to help lighten some sun damage. It's a lovely moisturizer. I use with the 10% AHA body treatment and don't need any additional lotion for dry skin. It goes on smoothly and soaks right in leaving smooth feeling skin. Not greasy or sticky. It does have a bit of scent, which is unusual for Paula's choice products. I'll write back again in a few months about my sun damage. The pump works well and dispenses a smaller or larger amount as needed.
After falling in love with so many PC products, I had high hopes for this one after I started seeing "kninkles" (knee wrinkles) on my legs. Loved the texture and was great for my legs after shaving without being greasy. Unfortunately, even after religious am and pm use for the life of a bottle, I don't see any improvement in the firmness of the skin around my knees. A great moisture cream, but I have used many others with the same results for less $. Bummed.
This is the body lotion I've dreamed of. Scented body lotions give me headaches, some are too greasy & sticky and others have unnecessary sparkles. I've only used this a couple times but omg its amazing. It sinks right in! To the point where ur skin just feels soft & there r no remnants of the lotion left. It makes my skin feel like a baby's bottom! Love that it has anti-glycating carnosine for the body! My only wish is that it also had niacinimide in it to get that benefit for my body skin too.
Like this product for legs arms and chest. However they need to correct the packaging. For some reason the pump stops working about half way through. Tried to open the jar but was unable.
Hi there! We're sorry you've had difficulty with the pump on this body lotion. Please contact our Customer Care team so that we may assist you with a replacement product.
I have been using this on my neck and chest for 3 weeks now and I have noticed amazing results. My chest was very crepey due to sun damage and after only 3 weeks it is so smooth! The deep lines on my neck are less noticeable now as well. I also use the Resist Intensive Wrinkle -Repair Retinol Serum on two deep lines on my forehead and marionette lines on my face and they are almost gone! Thank you, Paula's Choice. I will never go back to the previous skincare lines I have used!
I've been using this in conjunction with the 10% AHA lotion. It's fine on most of my body but on my chest (decollete area) I've experienced red bumps and sandpaper like skin. I mostly ordered it to reduce those "chest wrinkles" you get after you sleep on your side and this isn't helping. My chest just looks red and irritated.
Thanks for your review! Please contact us to discuss this concern; we're wondering if perhaps your chest area got some sun exposure after using this product, as AHAs do make skin more sun-sensitive. Protecting skin daily with a product rated SPF 15 or greater is essential when using an AHA exfoliaint in an effort to have younger-looking skin.
The thin skin on the tops of my feet and backs of hands looks plumped, the "dents" over my shinbones seem smoothed out, and even the old scar marks on my knees have faded, making my legs look smoother and more even-toned. Love this product!
Using this lotion with a 2% BHA liquid, the results on the KP on my arms and legs have been amazing. The dry, rough bumps are almost completely gone, and the scars are fading too. Excellent product.
I was beginning to notice some lines across my neckline typical with ageing so decided to give this a try. I'm always skeptical with skincare products and with having sensitive skin I need to be extra careful. Thankfully this was a FANTASTIC choice! The skin on my decolletage and neck has improved after a few weeks of using this cream and I can't recommend it enough!
I have finally found a product to help smooth my chronically dry, patchy, mildly psoriatic elbows and knees. I've only been using it a few days and already the difference is incredible. I understand this product is intended as a spot treatment as opposed to an all-over body product, and thus far any spot to which I apply it is rendered smooth, silky and healthier looking. Well done, PC!
This is a great find. So much better than any body lotion I've ever used. I use it on my legs (maybe 2 pumps) and arms (1 pump each). Believe me that's all you need. It is not the same as slathering large pump fulls of body lotion all over your body, so don't expect to do that with this product. I've been doing that for years with different products and have never had these kind of results. Smooth soft skin after just a couple of uses. I am 58 years old with sun damaged skin.
I bought this product specifically for my legs. Was hoping it would make them smoother and get rid of red marks and dry skin due to shaving. Unfortunately I used the entire bottle and saw absolutely no difference. Would not buy again.
Hi there! We're sorry you didn't find the RESIST Retinol Body Treatment helpful for your concerns! We would recommend contacting our Customer Care Team for assistance with a refund or credit, as well as tips on why you didn't see results.
I am very happy that I purchased this product. I use it over my entire body. However, due to the size of the product, I mix it with a simple body moisturizer that comes in a larger volume. I am still able to achieve baby soft skin all over my body even by mixing this product with a less expensive, but highly rated (on Beautypedia) body lotion. Very impressed! Will definitely continue to purchase!
I use this every morning and night over my upper arms and shoulder and skin shin area. I use a pump on my feet as well in the AM. I have used this for the past two months. After using PC AHA my skin was no longer dry and this stuff made it glow. The bottle design ensures stability. It's a great price and even if it went up I would still buy it.
I used this body treatment in combination with the RESIST Weightless 2% BHA Body Treatment & had AMAZING RESULTS! My skin is feels SOFTER to the touch, is noticeably firmer, and looks better!! I use it neck down, on skin that experiences seasonal dryness but is fairly normal with acne on my arms and back. My only complaint is that this RESIST Retinol Body Treatment does not come with enough product to be used as a body moisturizer.
I've been using this at night every other day as a night time moisturizer on top of my antioxidant serum and it works great. Thanks again!!!
I LOVE THIS STUFF!!! I have always had issues with breakouts and redness on my chest. After I shower, this is the only moisturizer I use on that area - and it makes my redness go down SO much and I don't have as many breakouts. I will forever repurchase!!! Plus its good for anti-aging so its a win - win!!! P.S. Paula's choice has the BEST customer service...my last bottle was frozen (b/c its so cold where I live) and didn't work and they are now sending me a new one! LOVE this company!
This is the perfect moisturizer for my sensitive, dry skin. I can use it on my face or allover my body. I like to use it after a bath. I tried the skin recovery moisturizer but I prefer this as it really moisturizes better, but use the skin recovery cream as an eye cream or maybe when it's hot in the summer. Retinol body treatment is expensive for my usage so I just use it 2-3x wk and other lotions and creams other times that I already have. I also love the skin rec toner and antioxidant serum.
I bought this to use on my neck and loved the way it left it so soft! I have a very oily T zone but decided to try it on my face also and absolutely love it! It is never greasy but leaves my skin so soft. This is my go to face & neck moisturizer from now on.
Age 43. This is a budget & rosacea friendly retinol product for my face & neck. It's sold 'for body' & I bet the 'face' one is even more effective but this one has enough for me to see improvement with face/neck skin texture without spending more. I am thankful for the option to get sample packets to try before purchase. Now I gotta figure out which sunscreen to try. PC is A+. Thank you Paula & staff! : ) Great customer service.
I've had dry patches of skin on my shins for a couple of years now and this is the only thing that has come close to clearing it up (I had tried a few things, including creams prescribed by a dermatologist). In fact, the raw/red skin on my shins looked tons better after just one use of this amazing product, with improvement after repeated applications. Also, as a few others have mentioned, I have tried this on my winter-dry face, and it soaks it right up and plumps up my skin beautifully!
I use one pump of this product on my dry hands at night followed by PC's Body Butter. Within one bottle's worth of use, about 2 months, I noticed the brown spots on my hands had faded significantly and my hands looked about 10years younger (I'm 40 and have lived in Southern AZ my whole life). Count me impressed Paula. This will continue to be a staple in my nightly routine.

How does Resist Retinol Skin-Smoothing Body Treatment differ from the other retinol products Paula's Choice offers?
The percentage of retinol needed for efficacy is generally between 0.01% and 1%, which is quite a range, but further proof of just how powerful retinol is! For more on percentages of retinol in Paula's Choice products, see our article Which Strength of Retinol Do I Need?

This past June, Yoamna and Scott Miller got married. Yoamna's father, Joseph Picone, was diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension in the spring of 2002, and the prognosis was not good. Yoamna says, "Here it is, 10 years later and by the grace of God, I am so happy and proud to say that on that very special day, my wedding day, my dad walked me down the aisle."
Yoamna wanted to honor her father in a special way, so in lieu of traditional wedding favors, she made a gift to PHA. She gave each of her guests a PH ribbon pin and a card explaining PH, her and her father's story, and how PHA has helped over the years. Yoamna says, "If it weren't for the support and research PHA does, my story would not have had such a happy ending."

Wonderful Table!
By BarbW
from Kansas City, MO
Love how versatile this table is, so much so that I've ordered two so far from Carol Wright, and I first bought one from Walmart. It is light weight so it's easy to move around, even on rug/carpet, I didn't have any problems dragging it to where I needed. Easy to pick up and move around too! I use it to eat on, work on my laptop, and write or pay some bills the old snail mail way...our kiddos use it for homework, laptop time or to do art work on. It's pretty sturdy as it's still holding up after a few bumps. I can easily adjust the height or angle of the top and I love, love, love that even my youngest can fold it up and "make it disappear" as she says because it slides so nicely out of the way under any of our beds and our sofa. It wipes clean very easily. I've seriously had no issues what-so-ever with this table. I love everything about it.
