{Real Bride: Carrie} Veggie Tales: A Vegetarian Bride's Revenge!
I'm about to tell you something you might find shocking. But hold onto your hats, because our wedding is going to be a….MEAT FREE ZONE!
That's right folks! I am a longtime vegetarian and Zach rarely eats meat nowadays. So we won't be serving anything that used to breathe and have eyeballs at our wedding. I think a lot of our non-vegetarian friends and family members are surprised we're doing this. But really, even if we were hiring a caterer, I wouldn't want to pay for people to eat in a way I don't believe in. Because we're cooking all the food ourselves, of course we're not going to serve meat. I don't even know how to cook it!
I hope that people aren't upset about not eating meat and I really hope they enjoy our food. If it forces them to try something new, then good! Maybe some will realize that it is possible to eat a satisfying and delicious meal without meat. Maybe some will freak out and slam burgers before they come. I don't really care. At least we'll be showing off our values (and our mad cooking skills, hopefully) on our wedding day!As a side note, I have been to several weddings at which vegetarian options were not even offered! Both times the couple knew that a few guests were veggie, but I don't know if it slipped their minds or they just didn't care. Last time my friend and I (the only two vegetarians) couldn't even eat the salad or pasta salad because both had bacon in them! We ate only bread and potatoes and thus got extra drunk and rowdy with no food in our stomachs.
Maybe I have a slight vendetta, but after not being able to eat at weddings I've been invited to, I am super pumped to turn the tables on everyone and not serve any meat! I promise that the food will be delicious and that there will still be lots of protein (beans, guacamole) and cheese (we're not vegan).
Is it crazy to have a totally-veggie reception? Do you think people will freak out or enjoy the food? Have you ever been invited to a wedding you couldn't eat at?
Meatless Mondays: A Broke-Ass BLT Sammich.
Put down that meat – its Monday, yo!
We here at Broke-Ass HQ like to keep lunches light, easy, cheap, and palate-pleasing… so the BLT has become a common default for our mid-day meal. But we've put our own special spin on this oldie but goodie, taking it from a porky classic to VEGGIETASTIC. It's quickly become Hunter's favorite sandwich – he begs for it on a near daily basis!
By subbing out healthier alternatives for the bread, bacon and mayo, and by adding the creamy goodness of avocado – this sammich brings the decadently creamy, crunchy and salty flavor party to your mouth, without all the narsty saturated fat!
- 2 slices of your favorite bread. (We love Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Grain Breads. The sprouting process activates beneficial enzymes which cause the grains to sprout and become living and nutrient-rich. Plus, they're the YUM.)
- 3 slices veggie bacon (Vegan Alert! MorningStar has egg in it, but there are vegan alternatives like Lightlife Smart Bacon)
- 1/4 ripe avocado
- 1/2-1 Tbsp. Mayonnaise (We LOVE Vegenaise – a non-dairy mayo alternative that beats out mayo in taste tests among all our friends)
- 1-2 leaves romaine lettuce (has more nutrients than iceberg)
- 1 fresh tomato, sliced
- Salt/Pepper to taste
First, toss your bread into the toaster to get it nice and warm and toasty just the way you like it. While that's running, saute your bacon slices over low-medium heat in a nonstick pan until it just slightly begins to brown on both sides. A squirt of oil in the pan will help it crispify. (Hint: the lower and slower it cooks, the better it is!)
When the toast is ready, slather one slice of bread with your 1/4 avocado, mashed. Spread the other slice with your mayo (or mayo alternative). Stack up your lettuce, tomato and bacon slices… sprinkle with a little salt and pepper… slice it up, and VOILA! A no-fuss, no-muss, healthy twist on an old favorite.
Admiring that professional construction? Using the avocado as glue for the tomatoes, and mayo as glue for the bacon, helps to hold the sammich together like a happy, tasty family. And just look at how happy it can make a hubby! Who could resist?
Got a Meatless Monday recipe to share? Want to see me de-meat-ify your favorite? Hit me up in the comments, and happy cooking!

Indianapolis-based lithium-ion battery manufacturer EnerDel Inc. has named Dave Roberts chief executive officer. Roberts joined the company in 2011 as deputy general counsel and chief IP counsel. The appointment comes after a U.S. Bankruptcy Court confirmed a reorganization plan for parent company Ener1 Inc. in February.
June 4, 2012
News Release
Indianapolis, Ind. -- EnerDel, Inc., a provider of advanced lithium-ion battery storage systems for grid energy, transportation and industrial applications, today announced that it recently appointed David Roberts as chief executive officer (CEO). Dave joined EnerDel in January 2011 as deputy general counsel and chief IP counsel.
As part of its parent company�s restructuring plan, which took the company private at the end of March 2012, EnerDel has also hired Richard (Dick) Quirin as its new chief financial officer (CFO) and bolstered its management team to grow and expand its business. Prior to joining EnerDel, Dick was CFO at IMMI based in Westfield, Ind. He is a certified public accountant (CPA) and has more than 35 years experience for companies like Rockwell and Rolls-Royce/Allison Engines.
In addition to a new CEO and CFO, the company has also moved several of its executives into expanded roles as group directors within the company, including: Robert Kamischke (U.S. cell manufacturing); Sean Hendrix (chief of engineering); Dave Hahn (program management, grid energy); David Osborne (program management, transportation); Vitaliy Pereverzev (sales and marketing); Tomasz Poznar (service); Mike Alma (Asia and global procurement); Trent Scott (human resources); Brian Sinderson (communications and external affairs); and, Steve Wirtz (quality and document control).
�We now have a strong management team in place to help support the needs of our current customers like Federal Grid Company, Portland General Electric, Toro, Lightning Motors and Volvo,� stated CEO Dave Roberts. �Solidifying our management team has been a critical first step in helping us regain our leadership role in the advanced battery industry. This group � and the entire EnerDel team -- will be diligently working to secure new business to support the growth objectives that are integral to our revised corporate strategy.�
Future Growth Strategies
In addition to EnerDel�s current customers, it has re-focused its efforts to develop advanced lithium-ion battery storage solutions for medium- and heavy-duty transportation (buses, trucks, rail and other mass transit applications), grid energy storage (bulk energy storage, residential and community energy storage, and UPS back-up for mission critical applications), and industrial, task-specific applications.
�While electric passenger vehicle sales have been slower to develop for several reasons, we are encouraged by the interest in grid energy storage and medium and heavy-duty transportation applications. Our sales efforts are focused on these areas, because they represent markets experiencing stronger growth and where we have proven experience,� continued Roberts. �After an extensive strategic planning effort, we believe we have a solid blueprint to provide customers with a line-up of production-ready energy storage solutions to meet their needs.�
EnerDel has also moved ahead in its joint venture (JV) with Wanxiang Group, which is the largest tier-one automotive parts supplier in China. Wanxiang Group�s customers include SAIC, Changan, Haima, FAW, Dongfeng, Chongqing Chang�an (Suzuki) and Yutong (the world�s second-largest bus maker) and Hangzhou State Grid among others. The company is also the second-largest stakeholder in Guangzhou Automobile, China�s most profitable domestic car company, which also has joint venture partnerships that include Honda, Toyota and Fiat. The JV recently received its business license by the Chinese government to design, manufacture, sell, distribute and provide service for lithium-ion battery cells and packs for the transportation and grid energy storage sectors in China. EnerDel has a 40 percent stake in the joint venture.
EnerDel has also consolidated its manufacturing facilities in the U.S. to two locations in the Indianapolis area, which was initiated when the company leased manufacturing space in Greenfield, Ind. The company�s corporate headquarters has also relocated to Indiana.
About Dave Roberts
With an engineering and legal background, Dave brings a diverse experience into his leadership role with EnerDel. Prior to joining the company, he held several positions of increasingly responsibility at Caterpillar, Inc. in Peoria, Ill., where he started with a focus on patent and licensing matters for various technologies and ultimately assumed the role of corporate counsel in the company�s commercial law department. Dave began his legal career with an emphasis on patent counseling and acquisition at Senniger Powers, an intellectual property boutique firm in St. Louis, Mo. Dave was also an engineer at Lockheed Martin Control Systems (now BAE) in Ft. Wayne, Ind., before attending law school. Dave earned his Juris Doctor (JD) degree, with honors, from Indiana University School of Law and received his undergrad degree in materials science and engineering from Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa.
About EnerDel

Alastair Nisbet has reinvented his Tower Grove East gastropub to feature rustic American cuisine such as barbecue and chili. Tender and tasty smoked meats include baby-back ribs and St. Louis-cut spare ribs, pulled pork and chicken. The restaurant's four chilis - including one made with the fearsome bhut jolokia chile, possibly the hottest in existence - are available individually or as a sampler. Fans of the original Shaved Duck menu should know that the beloved duck confit and duck-fat frites remain. The beer selection, featuring four revolving draft beers and an extensive selection of American craft brews by the bottle, is one of the city's best.

Edwards at Talladega Superspeedway
The Car
Edwards on Talladega:
"One thing about this weekend at Talladega is that qualifying is going to be exciting. If I weren't in it, I would tune in to watch because it will be entertainment. Jimmy and I have discussed this and know it will be three rounds of instant insanity. I have a feeling that it might be more dangerous than the race from a standpoint of tearing the race cars up. I really don't know what to expect. I am glad that we are in the position we are in with points and a win going into this weekend. It's going to be interesting. Our plan is to go for it and put our Fastenal Ford Fusion into Victory Lane."

A cardinal rule of disability discrimination law has been that an employer must make reasonable accommodations for a disabled employee, so that the individual can perform the essential functions of his or her job, but not for the individual's personal convenience or benefit. Another cardinal rule in the Tenth Circuit is that, if a disabled employee is unable to perform the essential functions of his or her job, the employee is entitled to transfer into any vacant position for which he or she satisfies the minimum qualifications. Recently, the Tenth Circuit issued a decision making significant changes to these two rules. In Sanchez v. Vilsack,[1] the Court ruled that an employer was obligated to transfer a disabled employee into a vacant position, for which she was at least adequately qualified, despite the fact she was already performing the essential functions of her existing position, because the transfer would facilitate her medical treatment.
In Sanchez, a U.S. Forest Service employee in Lufkin, Texas fell down a flight of stairs at work and suffered irreversible brain damage. The brain injury resulted in a permanent loss of fifty percent of the employee's visual field in each eye. The employee requested a hardship transfer to the Albuquerque, New Mexico office because Lufkin did not have the specialized therapy she needed to adjust to her condition, because Lufkin lacked public transportation, and because her friends and family were located in Albuquerque. The request was denied.
Although the employee had some difficulties getting to work and performing her job (for example, she was provided a special office where she could dim the lighting as needed), she performed the essential functions of her job. When she took a temporary work assignment in Albuquerque, the employees there recommended she not be given the position on a permanent basis. Eventually, she took the lower position of accounting technician in Albuquerque, with a pay cut, and filed a disability discrimination case under the Rehabilitation Act.
The Court acknowledged that, before this case, the accommodation of a disabled employee by transferring him or her into a vacant position had been limited to situations where the disabled employee was not able to perform the essential functions of his or her existing position.[2] Reviewing a hodge-podge of decisions of the First, Seventh and Ninth Circuits, and some EEOC regulations that - according to the Court - delineate reasonable accommodations beyond the strict boundaries of a disabled employee's work space, the Court overturned a summary judgment previously awarded to the employer.
The other appellate court decisions relied on by the Tenth Circuit held that reasonable accommodations must be provided to a disabled employee - not only to permit the employee to perform the essential functions of the job - but to allow the employee to have equal enjoyment of employment privileges and benefits, or to pursue therapy or treatment. The EEOC regulations referred to by the Court have virtually no relevance here - the regulations merely provide for accommodation to permit employees equal enjoyment of employment-related privileges and benefits, and equal access to restrooms and break rooms (these physical areas are not the workplace per se, but obviously closely-related work benefits). Here, there was no allegation that the plaintiff had been denied employment privileges or benefits.
[2] Smith v. Midland Brake, Inc., 180 F.3d 1154, 1162 (10th Cir. 1999) (transfer is a reasonable accommodation if an employee, "because of disability, can no longer perform the essential functions of the job that she or he has held.").

Track and Field | Saturday, April 24, 2004
Willamette Men in First and Women in Third after Day One of NWC Track & Field Championships
TACOMA, Wash. - The University of Puget Sound is acting as host for the two-day Championships. The Championships will continue tomorrow beginning with field events at 10:30 a.m.
Kari Holbert, from Willamette, set a new NWC and Baker Stadium record in the finals of the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Holbert shattered her own NWC record, lowering her mark from 11:18.9 to 10:59.44. Willamette's Jacob Stout easily won the men's 3,000-meter steeplechase, leading a dominant performance in the event for the Bearcats. Stout crossed the finish line in 9:12.86, as the Willamette runners took six of the top seven places in the event. George Fox's Michael Owen finished fourth with a time of 9:26.10.
Jonas Welsch, from Willamette, jumped 6.94m in winning the men's Long Jump. Welsch's jump was a NCAA provisional qualifier. Willamette's Lindsey Patterson won the women's long jump with a mark of 5.50m, also an NCAA provisional mark.
In another win for the Bearcat men, Zach Larsen jumped 2.02m in the high jump to win the event and mark a provisional NCAA qualifier.
Matt Gassaway, from George Fox, won the men's javelin with a throw of 60.00m, a NCAA provisional qualifier. In the women's javelin Pacific University's DeeDee Arnall just missed an NCAA automatic qualifier, winning the event with a throw of 43.15m, just off the 43.40m need for the auto.
In a preliminary heat, Pacific Lutheran sprinter Carrie Larson ran a personal best on her way to breaking her own Baker Stadium record in the women's 400-meter hurdles, recording a time of 1:02.05. Larson set the previous record just two weeks ago at the Shotwell Invitational held April 10th. Larsen and Willamette University's Shannon McGrane (1:02.99) will go head-to-head in tomorrow's highly anticipated final.
Team scoring after the six finals completed today and the NWC Multi-events held last weekend in Spokane, Washington has the Willamette men's team (91.50) in front of second-place Linfield (59), followed by George Fox (43).
On the women's side, the Pirates of Whitworth (71) hold a slim lead over Linfield (63), while defending champion Willamette (46.50) is in third.

|Anaheim Public Utilities
ANAHEIM, CA - (October 7, 2011) -
This year's Public Power Week, held Oct. 3-9, also marked the 25-year anniversary of the nationwide event. Anaheim Public Utilities, along with more than 2,000 other electric utilities across America that serve approximately 45 million Americans, utilized the week-long celebration to educate its customers on the benefits of being served by a publicly-owned utility. Anaheim Public Utilities is locally owned and governed, has excellent power and water reliability, and provides some of the lowest rates in the county.
Special exhibits, games and bucket rides were held on Thursday, October 6 at the Downtown Farmers' Market, which offered an interactive way to educate residents, students and visitors about the role of its utility. The always popular "bucket rides" proved to be a big hit with the 4th and 5th grade students from Salk Elementary School. Students were treated to a 55 feet climb into the air and gave them a unique opportunity to view the city from a different perspective. Booths and displays provided the visitors information about the various electric services, energy-saving tips, and information from the dedicated employees who help design and operate Anaheim's century-old electric utility.
Materials distributed also focused on Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait's "Hi-Neighbor" initiative, which encourages residents to get to know their neighbors. "While the majority of power outages and water interruptions our customers are likely to experience are short term, we want our community to be prepared and to know what to do if they are without water and power for an extended period during a major disruption," said General Manager Marcie Edwards. "And by working with their neighbors they can be more effective in staying safe and resilient."

Bristol man in charity race up London's 6th tallest building
Posted: February 28, 2013|
A REDLAND personal trainer is setting his sights on the tip of a London skyscraper as he prepares to race to the top for charity.
David Sully, 34, will be climbing the 920 steps of Tower 42 to raise money for housing and homelessness charity Shelter.
His 'Vertical Rush' charity attempt takes place on March 5 in London's sixth tallest building.
David said he was inspired to take up the challenge while lying in bed.
He said: "I spotted this on a breakfast news show two or three years ago while munching on bacon sandwiches in bed.
"I promised myself while sipping a can of pop that I will do this challenge – so here I am raising money for Shelter by doing my first ever Vertical Rush".
David has been getting support with his training from Kingsdown Sport Centre since he signed up last autumn.
The gym instructors designed a programme full of jumping exercises to prepare David's legs for his tough tower racing challenge.
David added: "Everyone at Kingsdown Sport Centre has supported me every step of the way. The gym instructors have given me the best support I could have hoped for."
He encouraged people to sponsor him to boost his support.
All the money raised will be donated to Shelter, to support its work with homeless and badly housed families.
The charity estimates that every two minutes across the UK someone faces losing their home.

New Books from LLILAS in 2010
Posted: April 2, 2010
LLILAS announces the publication in 2010 of two new titles in its Translations from Latin America Series, copublished with the University of Texas Press. The award-winning series was initiated in 1988, the first of its kind to publish translations of important works from Latin America in history and the social sciences.
El Lector: A History of the Cigar Factory Reader by Araceli Tinajero, translated by Judith E. Grasberg, traces the practice of reading aloud as a hard-won right deeply embedded in the culture of cigar factory workers. The tradition still survives today in Cuba, and Tinajero traces its inception there in the nineteenth century and its eventual dissemination to Tampa, Key West, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico. She uses personal interviews, journals, and newspapers to show how the reading was organized, how the readers and readings were selected, and how the process affected the relationship between the workers and the factory owners. In interviews with present-day and retired readers, Tinajero records testimonies that otherwise would have been lost forever, creating a valuable archive for future historians. For more information and to order the book, visit UT Press.
The story of the founding of Radio Venceremos, Broadcasting the Civil War in El Salvador: A Memoir of Guerrilla Radio by Carlos Henríquez Consalvi ("Santiago"), will be published later this summer. This first-person memoir is translated by Charles Leo Nagle V with A. L. (Bill) Prince and an introduction by Erik Ching. Radio Venceremos was the main news outlet during the 1980s war in El Salvador for the FMLN (Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional), the guerrilla organization challenging the Salvadoran government. The radio broadcast provided a vital link between the fighters in the mountains and the outside world. Santiago gives a riveting account of the early years of the conflict, a rebellion of poor peasants against the government and its U.S. benefactor. Originally published as La Terquedad del Izote, this gripping memoir also tells the broader story of a nationwide rebellion and its international context—the intensifying Cold War and heavy U.S. Involvement in it under President Reagan. For more information on this book, visit UT Press.

Comes with 1/2 oz & 1 oz soft squeeze bottles, coupler cap (to hold tip), 1 machined stainless steel half inch blunt tip (18 gauge). These are NOT used to pierce the skin. They are used for applying henna on TOP of the skin. Be sure to keep the applicator full of henna. As the bottle empties it gets harder to squeeze.

Glycolic Acid 35% Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional)
- Entry Level Professional Strength Peel; approx. 15 full facial peels per bottle
- Minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen growth
- Ideal for dry skin, hyperpigmentation and premature aging
- Evens skin tone and minimizing areas of discoloration for all skin types
- Cumulative benefits and optimal results with weekly treatments
Glycolic Acid is a superficial peeling agent that is made from sugar cane. It is often considered the most active and beneficial of the Alpha-Hydroxy-Acids (AHA).
Glycolic/35 works beneath the skin to stimulate collagen and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Working below the surface there is generally very little visible peeling with the Glycolic/35.
With repetitive and continuous use, improvement to skin tone and texture occurs.
Once inside the skin's cell, glycolic acid will serve as a catalyst for the formation of new collagen which will reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the skin's surface.
Glycolic acid has been proven to be very effective in the treatment of hyperpigmentation, melasma, actinic keratosis, acne, and oily skin, as well as other cosmetic uses.
Choosing the Best Peel: Skin Laboratory offers different types of chemical peels to help with things like exfoliating the skin and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. If you are looking for the BEST peel for your condition, the following list will help you select it. The peels effectiveness is not limited to these conditions:

Supermoon observers see mysterious object over Texas

SAN ANTONIO -- While observers looked to the sky to catch the supermoon's gleam Saturday, a mysterious fireball caught the attention of many from Texas to Florida.
At around 9 p.m., a flying object split in the sky and then the two pieces faded away from each other.
The American Meteor Association received 95 reports about the fireball, although details vary from witness to witness.
According to the association's website, a fireball is another term for a bright meteor, generally brighter than magnitude -4. Several thousand fireballs occur in the Earth's atmosphere each day, but little are visible to people.
Excited observers also flocked to social media to report the sighting. Many asked their friends if they too saw the fireball, and others thought, maybe, it could be something a little more extraterrestrial.
On Twitter, Mike Elliot wrote, "Just saw the longest slowest meteor burn up over Taylor Texas. #meteor anyone else see it?
Neither Open Minds nor the Mutual UFO Network, extraterrestrial and UFO researchers, have stated whether the sighting could have been a UFO.
While alien believers discuss the possibilities, the association's calendar states it is common to see meteors around this time of year.
According to the association's meteor shower calendar, July and August are the months for Delta Aquariids, Alpha Capricornids and Perseids.

The Age of the False Eyelash
I'm 43 today, and you know what? I like being 43. I don't have much practice at it, but I think it's going to be just great.
I will say that I've never felt that any certain age was old. And while I'd sometimes like to have the muscle tone I had when I was 24, I wouldn't trade what I now know. What I understand. What I get. What I feel. What I believe. So I think I'll stay right here where I am. Until next year, and then I'll willingly and enthusiastically cross over into the land of 44.
There are two things I miss about being really young, however:
1. Muscle tone. I already mentioned that. But I'd really like to have abs.
2. Eyelashes.
I still have eyelashes. And they're fine. But I used to have thick, long eyelashes. It was just something I never really thought much about. I never had tan skin. I never had a huge, heaving bosom. I never had silky black hair or piercing blue eyes. But I always had pretty good eyelashes.
But over the past couple of years, two things have happened:
1. My eyelashes aren't really that thick anymore.
2. Lots of women have started wearing false eyelashes.
This has had an exponential effect on how I perceive my own eyelashes. False eyelashes are showing up everywhere: on the news, on Real Housewives, and on Real Housewives. Boy, do they lay 'em on thick on Real Housewives. And I have to say, I do think they're attractive. And one time when I was on the teevee for a morning show appearance, a makeup artist put false eyelashes on me. I loved them! I felt like a cat. ROOOWR! And as I watched a clip of that TV segment later, I could tell that my eyes had more definition than normal.
Dang, I thought as I watched it. Am I going have to start wearing these things?
And so far, on my show on Food Network, I have not worn them. And that is because I do my own makeup for the Food Network show, and I'm not very good at applying false eyelashes. I used to wear them in ballet performances, but they were huge and thick and very long (stage makeup) and precision wasn't as important as just slapping them on in time to lace up my pointe shoes.
So recently, I decided to get some false eyelashes and experiment.
(Note: I don't have any photos of me wearing these lashes. I need to practice more. For now, I'll just show you ones I'm experimenting with.)
I thought these were nice. Kind of light and feathery. A little long, though—I wondered if they'd touch my eyebroww. That would be weird. That would tickle.
I think this is along the lines of what most of the housewives wear. They're a little sixties mod in their density and heaviness, and while they might be neat for a vampy photo shoot here and there, I don't see them being a fit for my cooking show.
Well, I don't have any vampy photo shoots planned, either. But you never know.
I really like these single clusters, which you can place strategically in your lashes just to bump up the fullness or length here and there.
I like them…but they are incredibly difficult to apply. At least they're incredibly difficult for me to apply. I don't get it! Help.
I think I like these the best. They emphasize the outer corners of the eyes, adding a nice pop without making it look too thick or artificial.
I've just got to figure out how to put them on just right.
Then I've just got to figure out how to take pictures of myself putting them on just right.
Meantime, do any of you girls wear false eyelashes? If you do, are you totally sold? Have they become a regular part of your makeup routine? Or do you just whip 'em out for parties and special occasions?
I have a feeling they won't be going away anytime soon.
And that makes me want to lash out.
(Sorry. I'm corny.)

Happy Happy Birthday Ree!!! I have never used fake eyelashes, except those fun ones for Halloween! The best stuff for growing your lashes is by "Image" This stuff is fabulous and you can put it on morning and night. Amazing stuff!!
Aimless On Sunday, January 8 at 1:50 pm
I am somewhat of a pioneer woman myself and I absolutely love false eyelashes. I too have had a reduction in the volume of eyelashes that I used to have. I'm 42, humm? They aren't a part of my regular make regimen but I do love them. What I don't like is a sloppy application. I see that a lot since I'm an optometrist. If you're gonna wear them take the time to practice as you mentioned. It will pay off:)
ksgrammie On Sunday, January 8 at 2:27 pm
Belated birthday wishes…it would be great to be 43 again….that's when my life really began. I highly recomment false eyelashes…have been wearing them since my mid 30's and feel almost naked without them. After a while you forget what you looked like without them! Have some fun…try 'em…you'll like 'em.
julie On Sunday, January 8 at 2:40 pm
My daughter asked permission to buy some. I figured what the heck and was impressed at her skill in applying them and the sass to wear them. I did catch her trying to go to school with them on and I had to draw the line. She is 14 but no need to gussie up for high school just yet. I am getting some for me (shhhh) : )
Vickie On Sunday, January 8 at 3:03 pm
I have bought so many of these and for the life of me can't get them on without looking like a spider lives on my face! Help—-anyone?

Take the make-up person next time and learn from her!
Katy Mc On Sunday, January 8 at 3:23 pm
My daughter had do wear them for dance this year and I bit the bullet and wore some as a sign of support for her. The did make my small eyes look more awake and alert which was great on a 4 performance weekend. I found if I put on eyeliner first, it gave me a better target to aim for. I haven't worn them since….tooooooo lazy.
Laura C On Sunday, January 8 at 3:31 pm
Happy Birthday to you!! I can't really curl my eyelashes, so I'm doubting I could do the fake lash thing. Maybe we should just pop prenatal vitamins and avoid the trouble. I hear those work wonders
Donna B On Sunday, January 8 at 4:35 pm
I had a friend who got the first pair, and she had two issues…one, they were so long, they did touch her eyebrow and it was a little weird she said. Two, the glue was itching her badly…so much so that her eyes kept watering. She took them off within a few days of spending, I believe, about $80 for them. She got a second set, the singles, just intertwined with hers, and I think she liked those better.
carolyn in ms On Sunday, January 8 at 4:39 pm
This makes me think….where else on your body would you want to add short, bristly, black hairs? Nowhere, that's where. But they look good around our eyes. Go figure.
Amy On Sunday, January 8 at 5:14 pm
Happy Belated Birthday Ree!!! Thanks for all the laugh and memories… Wouldn't it be great if our thighs got thin the way our lashes do!?!?!?
Nana On Sunday, January 8 at 5:20 pm
A little late here, but a most happy 43 birthday to you. They say a woman's most beautiful years are from ages 35 to 45, so you are doing well. Although almost 20 years older than you, I have noticed thinner brows and eyelashes since menopause. Checking into the thyroid issues is good advice, as well as adrenal glands. You are likely entering the pre or peri-menopausal stage, which can last 5 to 10 years. Ugh, but all this may come into play about thinning hair. Most likely, thyroid will be fine, so chalk it up to age. Using eyelash curler is a must, as well as black mascara. You talked about using heavy black eyelinter. You might consider trying brown or dark brown with your coloring with black mascara. Black eyeliner is very harsh on fair-skin women, and they eyelashes might show up more with brown. If you take the plunge on fakes, keep them at outer corners, only, otherwise they will look dated.
marilyn d. On Sunday, January 8 at 5:40 pm
can't wear 'em at work–somehow, it would go beyond merely tacky to lose a fake eyelash (or several, in the "tiny lash" category) in the operating room. i did wear them in the distant past–like in the 60s, mod days (remember twiggy?). and always be sure to put them on just above your lashes–not on your own lashes. otherwise, you'll deplete your personal supply of eyelashes, pronto!
Liz Mellinger On Sunday, January 8 at 5:50 pm
Happy Birthday Ree! I have used false eyelashes a couple of times and I loved them and how they looked. My aunt wears them everyday and quite frankly I'd love to be a fly on the wall when she applies them on every day. Too much work for me on a daily basis. You should post a picture of your lashes.
Mary On Sunday, January 8 at 6:00 pm
You should try Lilash. It's like Latisse but you don't need a prescription for it! You can find it online.
Natalie Michelle On Sunday, January 8 at 6:35 pm
Happy Birthday!! you know all that babble above (i noticed while scrolling down, not entirely sure about what all was said but from what i saw while skimming) about having to go get your thyroid tested if your eyelashes are falling out and such, my mom now 55 put it best, thats just a bunch of horse pucky, you get older you have children, you're tired and you rub your eyes a little more and your lashes come out, big deal.
I'm 22 and i sometimes use false lashes if im trying to look elegant for an event,evening party, or just want to look fabulous, they can be a little intense for the everyday but boy are they fun and they really make the eyes pop without having to layer up on the mascara
the best tip ive found when it comes to putting on some falsies is to let the glue sit on the lashes for a little longer before placing them on your face. theyre a little tackier and the glue wont get into your eyes. also if you have an unsteady hand try using tweezers to hold them and help place. its more accurate than trying to push them on with your finger

collette On Sunday, January 8 at 7:30 pm
I do not apply fake lashes very well, my daughter wears them every weekend when she goes out, in spite of having awesome lashes! Mine are thinning due to age and thyroid issues. Best mascara to thicken them is L'Oreal Double Extend. The primer does an excellent job at thickening the lashes.
Laura On Sunday, January 8 at 7:35 pm
I used to get lash extensions and loved them! My mom got them as well because she noticed her lashes weren't as full as they used to be. They are a little pricey, but definitely worth the money because if applied correctly, no mascara is needed and they add just enough volume.
Evelyn On Sunday, January 8 at 7:36 pm
Ok, so I am like 10-12 years older than you and I hate to tell you but the eyebrows go next. Yes, the days of nice eyebrows are also over. Lol. But I just recently got very very brave and had permanent eyebrows applied, AKA tattoos. Not as you would think, very very nice and subtle. Loving them!
Celeste On Sunday, January 8 at 7:47 pm
I have been wearing falsies for at least 20 years, way before they became so popular. Mine used to look like they do now with falsies. I have it down pat and LOVE them. Sometimes I think I should teach a class on how to trim, shape and wear them
Celeste On Sunday, January 8 at 7:50 pm
HaPpY BiRtHdAy!
Stephanie On Sunday, January 8 at 7:54 pm
At my hair salon they now do hair extensions for eye lashes! I haven't had it done (yet), but it is more permanent and you do not have to apply any glue to your eyes!
Kelly c. On Sunday, January 8 at 7:55 pm
Okay – I have led a sheltered life and I have a couple of questions about false eyelashes. Are they one time use only or do you reuse the suckers? How long after you glue them on should you wait until you put contacts in? Do you put mascara on then and your real lashes to make them all seem the same? Help me sistas.
Lisa S On Sunday, January 8 at 8:05 pm

Happy belated BIRTHDAY! I hope you were spoiled (at least got to take a long bubble bath).
I've tired out false eyelashes a couple times. I LOVE the way they look but had a hard time placing them. It was fun to have thicker lashes though.
LCWM On Sunday, January 8 at 8:32 pm
They were also popular in the 70's. I wore them and loved the look but you actually pull out your own lashes getting them off so you soon have to wear false ones because your real ones are so thin. I like the lengthening products available now. You put a thin line at the root of your lashes every night. It works. They grow longer.
Jojo saucy von Trapp On Sunday, January 8 at 8:32 pm
I would definitely be worried that I'd serve someone eyelash soup…!!
Melissa On Sunday, January 8 at 8:48 pm
Yes! I have been wearing them! Wore them for The Nutcracker (another mom put them on for me!) Decided to put them on for New Years. Makes me feel more glamorous! Not doing it every day though. The housewives probably get lash extensions at the salon I would venture to say!

Hi and Happy Birthday!!! I just found your website from a friend who had made your knock u naked brownies and thought I had died and gone to heaven!!!!! I was intrigued by the eyelash post, because I do semi-permanent eyelash extentions;) You should check out my website. I am currently the only Advanced certified lash technician in the state of Indiana that does them. So all this being said I would love to give you a set!!! Come here or fly me there;) I think it could be fun for both of us:)
Holly On Sunday, January 8 at 9:29 pm
The other day on the news they actually showed a youtube video of someone using fly's legs as fake eyelashes!! AAH! It was awful. I have actually never had many eyelashes. My eyes are mostly bald! However, I married someone with beautiful eyelashes most likely b/c I was envious! Now my children have beautiful eyelashes but they always fall out into their eyes and then we have that to deal with. But I guess eyelashes have their pros and cons. And happy birthday!!
Wendy Paul On Sunday, January 8 at 9:38 pm
That's funny that you posted this. Because I just read some pointers from another blog I follow. I have done the professional extensions, but for budget constraints, I am doing my own. I like the Duo 301. Makes the outer lashes full without overdoing it. It does take practice. Here's the link http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/how-to-false-eyelashes/
Happy Birthday!
Lian On Sunday, January 8 at 9:46 pm
Have you heard of Blink? My hairdresser introduced it to me. It consists of a lash primer, an eyelash curler that is AAA battery operated, and a mascara. First you apply the primer just like a mascara. After it dries for a few seconds, you use the curler which is almost instantly hot. You simply hold the curler on your lashes and push them up so they curl. This helps the primer dry, too. Then you apply the mascara. While these are not false eyelashes, the process really enhances your own lashes. It's like applying a little coat of paint to your lashes to make them look thicker and more defined. So I don't wear false ones, but I use this on special occasions. And when you take it off, you use warm water on a tissue to wipe your eyelashes. When it comes off, it's like little tubes that have been on your lashes. HIGHLY recommend this!

Funny, I am 43 and used to wear self-applied false eyelashes everyday to work at a magazine in nyc in my 20s. I used a toothpick to spread glue thinly along edge of lash, let it tack up A bit and then applied – no mascara. I am much less glamorous these days (mama in atlanta) but noticed the lash frenzy several years ago and started using revitalash. It takes several months but really works and with an eyelash curler and trish mcavoy lash curling mascara (the best) its pretty great results. Ps I tried the lash product Brooke shields promotes too, latisse – it made my eyelids turn grayish – alot of ppl love it though.? Sorry such long response!

Ree: happy, happy birthday. You make me laugh, I'm thinking she's doing exactly what I do. Yes abs would be nice but eyelashes would be so much easier. Aging (I'm 54 but still think I think like a 20 something year old, you mean I'm not hip – ask my college age kids hah – hah!! ) isn't as bad as Hollywood and all the glam magazines make it out to be as long as you are happy with WHO you are it doesn't matter what age you are. Wear it proudly. Love the place you are at even if it isn't perfect. Short lashes, long lashes it's all good.
Karen Russell On Sunday, January 8 at 10:10 pm
Happy birthday Ree!
I'm 48 and notched my eyelashes thinning, so I started using Latisse and I love it! It's expensive but I shopped around and found bottle for $125 and I don't apply it according to their instructions. I use my own brush and one drop for both eyes. My bottle supposed to be a months worth and I'm now on week 14. Love it! And you can dye your lashes (by a professional) for about $20-$30.

Hi Ree, Belated Happy Birthday,
Here is a good guide I came across that gives you the step by step how to apply the single false lashes: http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/how-to-false-eyelashes/
Anne On Sunday, January 8 at 11:17 pm
Happy birthday, Ree! Well, I admit that I did try them just last week. I've always had short, thin eyelashes so you can imagine how happy I am that falsies are IN!
Niteowl Nancy On Monday, January 9 at 12:58 am
Happy belated birthday, Ree!
RedNatV On Monday, January 9 at 1:44 am
Happy Belated Birthday! 40s are the new 30s! I am a new 29 year old, and false eyelashes are not for me. In HS, the girls were them to prom or formal dances and they were not for me then either. My lashes are blonde and fine so I stick with Clinique's double lash or high impact mascara in black….It works for me! Try it!
Ashley On Monday, January 9 at 2:27 am
I use falsie for special occasions and I love them!! I should do it more… What I do and it works well is I squeeze a blob of the glue on the back of my hand. With a pair of tweezers I lightly drag the edge of the lashes through the blob so that a thin line of glue is across the whole lash. I start with the inner part of my eye and get in close to the mirror I use the tweezers to push the false lash line into my real on move over a touch with the tweezers and repeat till it's all done. I go over once more making adjustments if necessary and then keep my eye closed while it dries. Touch up any liner as gently as possible. I still like to add one sweep of mascarra before I apply them b/c my natural lash color is fairly blonde and it helps blend it better.
Kelly On Monday, January 9 at 6:29 am
First, Happy Birthday! For my wedding day, I had the overly-priced, semi-permanent eyelashes applied…in fact, they were mink false eyelashes and they lasted almost 6 weeks. Expensive? Yes. But the second I saw the pictures from that day, the hefty price tag was feel worth it! I have blonde, thin eyelashes and it made a world of difference on camera! Plus, they're just FUN to wear Happy eyelashing!
Katie @ NYCitified On Monday, January 9 at 6:32 am
I totally love the look of false eyelashes, but I just can't make the leap to regular use. I mean washing the dishes with false lashes would be like cleaning the toilet in a wedding dress. I don't know, maybe I should just give it a shot!
Emily On Monday, January 9 at 7:05 am
I used to put these on my mom, you should have your daughters give it a go! It was always a good laugh!
Melissa L On Monday, January 9 at 7:21 am
Happy Birthday Ree!! Sorry I missed the actual day!!
Becky Haltermon On Monday, January 9 at 7:22 am
I always wear fake eyelashes on NYE, though it has taken me several years to get 'em right. The trick for me is to trim the lashes so they aren't too long. Plus, once you do, you'll have a long piece for the top of your lid and a smaller piece for the bottom lash line.
Here's pictures of this year's lashes… http://pumpupthefrump.blogspot.com/2012/01/coruscation-and-carhartt.html
I bought theater-quality eyelashes… You could see those puppies across the county!
Margaret On Monday, January 9 at 7:25 am
Happy Birthday!
The only time I used lashes was with my Halloween costume–they were gold tinted. I bought some, but never wore them. I think I might consider it if the occasion was right. . . .I honestly don't see that happening in my future though.
Lynn from Baltimore On Monday, January 9 at 7:46 am
Happy Belated Birthday! I've never had good eyelashes. My lashes are short, transparent (literally, my stylist told me they look like fishing line) and won't curl. For about 18 months, I've been getting lash extensions. I very nice lady glues individual false lashes onto each of my natural lashes. I go about every 3 weeks to have them filled in. For the first time in my life I have great eyelashes and I am loving them. It's well worth the $60.00 it costs me each time. The bonus is that it shortens my morning routine. I little mascara on the tips of the lashes and I'm done. I'd highly recommend the process.
KellyP On Monday, January 9 at 8:08 am
Hally belated birthday Ree! I am too afraid to try falsies, but they look so pretty!
KellyP On Monday, January 9 at 8:09 am
Of course I meant "Happy Birthday", d'oh!
Bobbie H. On Monday, January 9 at 8:16 am
Happy Birthday, Ree I used to always wear false eyelashes in the 1970's.
They would fall off at the most embarrasing times!
joy On Monday, January 9 at 8:21 am
happy b-day!!! hope it's grand and good.
skip the lashes. or at least, i will skip them in less than 10 years when i get there. never had good lashes, never will, and know that if I personally applied fake ones it would be scarier than having none.
delane phillips On Monday, January 9 at 8:26 am
I immediately thought of Lucille Ball and Peter Fonda in the parenting movie. Lucille's eyelash comes off at the party!!!! That's more my style!
Dayla On Monday, January 9 at 8:29 am
I get eyelash extensions! I've been doing it for about 3 years and LOVE LOVE LOVE them! Google Novalash, I get them "filled" every 3 weeks and am always getting compliments on my lashes. I don't wear mascara nor do I have to curl my lashes (Sooo amazing and totally worth it)!
Laura B. On Monday, January 9 at 8:47 am
Happy birthday, Ree! My birthday is today…I'm 32. I do occasionally wear false lashes. I'm an amateur belly dancer, and when you're performing on stage, they do WONDERS for making your eyes more visible from the audience. I love the way they look, but they're enough of a pain to put on and take off that I don't ever bother with them except for performances. Always remember to let the glue get nice and tacky before you put the lashes on!
Daughter of eyelashmama On Monday, January 9 at 8:55 am
My mother has and will always wear false eyelashes. She almost missed the birth of my son because she could not find her falsies. And she will not leave the house without them. She actually had my father stop at Walgreens by the hospital so she could buy a pair and some glue and put them on in the car before she entered the hospital. Her email address is even eyelashmama@—-. She gives lessons to ladies all the time. – Not kidding! She will run into someone at a store and they will remark about her lashes and how they don't know how to put them on, etc. Next thing you know they are off to Ulta or Sally beauty supply and buyig supplies and my mom shows them then and there. But I for one, have never worn a pair. But I have thought about getting the semi permanent ones at the spa.
Elizabeth On Monday, January 9 at 8:56 am
Happy Birthday Ree!
I don't do false lashes…right now..maybe I'll give it try:)
Lori S On Monday, January 9 at 9:38 am
Happy Birthday Ree! This is so funny! I purchased some false eyelashes a couple of weeks ago in hopes of filling in the "gaps" if you will. I too always had nice thick long lashes, but at 50 – they have thinned a bit. Like I said, I have had them in my drawer for 2 weeks now and just haven't had an occasion to try them, but I guess going in to work is as good a reason as any! I'm going to try them tomorrow!
Elaine in Kansas On Monday, January 9 at 10:00 am
Happy Birthday! Hope you celebrate all year, and then the next and the next. Do something that you never have before……Enjoy it all! Keep chuckling!
Charity H On Monday, January 9 at 10:14 am
Happy Late Birthday! We have the same birthday! I dont think i could handle the fake eyelashes. I would be one of the people who didnt put them on right and be talking to someone with one of the lashes dangling from the side.
Yaya Cheryl On Monday, January 9 at 10:28 am
Happy B-day Ree-Ree!! I'll be 65 at the end of this week and I love Latisse. It hasn't changed my blue eye color. It does make my eye lids red right after washing my face, but soon goes away. It has made my lashes thicker and longer. My rx drug card pays for it as my derm gave me an rx for it. Also, when the lids get droopey enough to interfere with vision, insurance will also pay for that. A friend even had to have lid tendon work done as she had waited a very long time for correction. Blinc.com has heated lash curlers (sans clamps), wonderful mascara and eyebrow mousse. Great stuff.
Jamie Glawson On Monday, January 9 at 10:29 am
Happy Late BDay. My son turned 16 on the 5th! I have tried the false eyelashed and have had them professionally done. Doing them myself became a hassel and the professional tinting and lashes just became inconvenient for the appt time and an expense I just did not want or need. I have discovered Maybeline Fasies mascara. It is GREAT!! I just apply, let dry and apply again. It is great for a night out. They even have a dramatic version which is what I use now because I have pig eyelashes….straight and transparent blond!!
Lori On Monday, January 9 at 10:35 am
Happy 43rd birthday Ree, I hope you had a great one! I've never tried false eyelashes but at age 54 I could sure use them, I understand about lashes getting thinner just like the hair on my head as I age ; ) I'm looking forward to finding out how they worked for you and what the trick is to applying them.
LER On Monday, January 9 at 10:43 am
Red Cherry Lashes, yo….. I believe they can be ordered online . I have yet to try the them as I have just recently delved into the land of lashes myself, but from the reviews I have seen, they are the best for the price. They are not synthetic and have invisible lash bands. A lot of people prefer the half lashes as they are easier to apply. In my experience, the more sort of wild and un-uniform the lashes are, the more realistic they look. Ardele does the Whispies which is pretty close to what I am trying to explain.
Patience my friend. I am told that once you get used to the application it is no problem. lol
Mikkell On Monday, January 9 at 10:47 am
Happy belated birthday! I would have NEVER guessed 43 and you look wonderful! I have tried falsies before b/c I have poker straight eyelashes with blonde tips. So basically it looks like I have no eyelashes lol. It took some practice but I loved how it made my eyes look. The ones I purchases were a bit overdone though. I like the thinner ones that you were showing that you just put on the outer half. I didn't have any trouble with mine coming off. Good luck! You look wonderful! Love your blog!!!
Kristen On Monday, January 9 at 11:02 am
Eyelash extensions are where it's at! I love mine, get them done about every 3 weeks. Love that I don't have to apply mascara, already thick, black, long, and gorgeous!
Anna L. On Monday, January 9 at 11:04 am
Eyelash extentions are the very best choice. I put them on clients for a living. Although they are more expensive (about $200 for a full set, and $40 for fills every two weeks) they stay on until your natural lash falls out. You wake up every morning with a full set and they hold up through everything, even swimming daily.
Maggi On Monday, January 9 at 11:04 am
Oh My Gosh! I have a regular girls night at my house, and it was getting kinda boring having just themes for the food. SO, this month it's 50's ladies night. Everyone is encouraged to come in their pearls and aprons and go all out. I just spent last night researching false eyelashes and those Mod ones kept coming up as the top bargain eyelashes!
Jen @ Caved In On Monday, January 9 at 11:13 am
I only wore false eyelashes at my wedding and loved them but I'm terrified of trying to do them myself. I'm excited to see how it works out for you. Our receptionist in my department wore the vampy ones for two months and looked like she had wooly caterpillars on her eyes. I don't recommend that look.
Lynna On Monday, January 9 at 11:15 am
As soon as I finish this, I'm going to read the comments…maybe someone has the answer! I have started using them onstage and I have a TERRIBLE time getting them on so they stay and so they look okay. Thanks for raising this issue!
Heather @ That Uncomfortable Itch On Monday, January 9 at 11:18 am
I haven't tried them but have been wanting to. When Stressed I pick at the lashes of my right upper lid and end up bald there. So gross, I know. My 14 year-old daughter wants me to try them so I look normal.
I'm looking forward to seeing your pics and maybe getting up the gumption to try out a pair myself.
Patricia Calef On Monday, January 9 at 11:25 am
Its so funny you mention eyelashes as I justed watched a segment on them on my morning show in Sacramento (Good Day Sacramento). Happy, happy birthday. Wait till you turn 50. Gets even better.
elz On Monday, January 9 at 11:34 am
I wear them for parties only. Since I don't wear them that often, I can "feel" them when I'm wearing them. Very off-putting. The last time I wore them, I came downstairs, my husband took one look at me and said, 'Something is on your eye." Thanks, honey.
Whitney On Monday, January 9 at 11:38 am
I just started using the individual lashes – and I LOVE them. They've become a part of my every day routine. The key for me, that I learned is to put a drop of the adhesive on your hand and let it setup for 2 full minutes and get tacky. Then use tweezers to dip the end of your lash in and put them on your lashes (not your eyelid). I tap them into my eyelashes. Tap, tap, tap at the end.
Bethany On Monday, January 9 at 11:45 am
I love the MAC eyelashes! I wore them for my wedding. They took forever for my best friend to put on me, but it was so worth it. I think they're the most natural looking. I don't even normally wear makeup, so I don't wear these often. Okay, since I got married three years ago, but LOVE them!
Rowena Philbeck On Monday, January 9 at 11:47 am
Happy belated birthday. Yours is on my Granddaughers birthday.. She turned 14. My birthday is today…!! No I have only tried lashes at Halloween. Mine are thinning out as well. They would be fun to wear as long as they don't look to thick and un natural looking. I probably would try them if I ever went out for a nice evening. Probably won't happen any time soon. But I would say go for it.
Michelleeeee On Monday, January 9 at 11:48 am
Here's a very helpful how-to video, on applying false lashes:
scarlett On Monday, January 9 at 11:58 am
the late kevyn aucoin suggests in his book "making faces" that you wait a moment after applying the glue to the lashes for the glue to get "tacky". it's supposed to make the lashes easier to apply. ()and maybe prevent the intense burning that comes with the glue dripping into your eye….you're also supposed to slightly curl your real lashes so they'll 'hold on' to the falsies. and then apply mascara over both real and fakes to finish.
good luck!
Jenny Spillane On Monday, January 9 at 11:58 am
Happy Birthday Ree!! Try RapidLash!! It works similar to Latisse, but is available over the counter and it really works!!!! My mom bought me some for Christmas and I was very skeptical, but it truly has made my lashes longer and thicker and people have really noticed. I have had a few people ask me if I have lost weight because the added lashes make my eyes look so much bigger.
Nancy On Monday, January 9 at 11:59 am
When I got married a few months ago the girl who did my makeup used the MAC set lashes. She said they were easier than the individual ones. They looked amazing and I loved them once I got used to wearing them.
Trish Merlino On Monday, January 9 at 12:02 pm
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I wear false eyelashes all the time whenever I want to look extra special. M.A.C. are the ones I like best. I go for the ones that aren't long and look more natural. The best way to apply them is…….apply a little mascara to your own lashes. Put the glue on sparingly. Let it dry a little bit so the glue will stick right away. Use tweezers to help you place them as close to your own lashes as possible. And use a makeup mirror that has a magnifying side.
Kellye On Monday, January 9 at 12:11 pm
I wear the individual ones when on Dates. I've tried the strip kind, but I usually end up looking like Carol Burnett when she did the "Sunset Boulevard" parody, so, yeah, NO.
The key (for me) to the individual ones is my super duper crazy magnifying make-up mirror. Otherwise, I'm sure I'd be gluing them onto my forehead.

laura On Monday, January 9 at 12:11 pm
ree, you have to try a new mascara i found at ulta ( dont know it you have them there ) but it called " they're real " if you put on 2 coats, you will have lashes like you cant believe i love it !! kinda expensive $22 but well worth it
TERRI On Monday, January 9 at 12:18 pm
NO! But you must try Benefit's mascara called "They're Real".
They seriously can look like you are wearing false lasshes.
Best mascara I ever tried and I only use 1 coat,
Melanie On Monday, January 9 at 12:34 pm
Happy Birthday! I use the Mac Full set as well. The glue from Walgreens is about the same as Mac's and tons cheaper. The stylist from Mac applied them and cut them to the correct size. I can get about 5-8 "uses" out of them.
Misha H On Monday, January 9 at 12:39 pm
Happy belated birthday Ree! I have also noticed more women wearing false eyelashes. I have not tried them and not sure how good I would be at applying them as well. I bet they would look nice though.

Happy Birthday Ree from one Jan. baby (4th) to another~Hope your day was as special as mine was!
danielle On Monday, January 9 at 12:44 pm
Happy birthday! I wore false lashes once- on my wedding day. I enjoyed it as a special thing, but wouldn't want to go to that fuss on a regular basis. I'm too low maintenance for that.
Brandy On Monday, January 9 at 12:49 pm
Happy Belated Birthday! Your is the same as husband's as well as my mother- in- laws! Every year my father in law teases her and say she will never get a better gift than my husband!
Anyway… I haven't tried false eyelashes yet but really am curious to see which you will choose. I would like to try them also, but feel I may be "all thumbs" when it comes to it and would end up bugging my eye or they would fly off in the middle of dinner! Cant wait to hear how you make out and see the pictures of the post! Thanks for your great blog, I enjoy it very much!
Rhona On Monday, January 9 at 12:54 pm
My eyesight has gotten so bad that I was having trouble seeing well enough to apply mascara without getting it all over my eyelid. I decided false eyelashes would be the ticket. Turns out you need to have even better eyesight to put them on.

I wear the singles every once in a while. I LOVE them. However I could not do it every day. I for one dont think it is healthy for your natural lashes and two who has the time? When I have tried the full lashes it is painfully obvious they are fake and I dont like that. Best of luck and Happy Belated. <3
ReneeO On Monday, January 9 at 12:58 pm
Latisse! Latisse! Latisse! I have been using it a couple years too. You are right–having long lashes is so exciting. It makes such a difference and you need less makeup. If you have blue eyes, caution, cuz it could turn them brown. I have brown eyes already so I'm going for it. Been using a couple of years with no problem. It will darken the skin on the eyelid a little. I just use an eyebase to fix that. Truly I think the lashes are worth the trouble with that. I apply it with my own eyeliner brush instead of the brushes that come with it (making sure to not contaminate product) and it lasts a full 6 months. Those brushes are designed to just waste product. I will never stop using Latisse!!!!
BeckyR On Monday, January 9 at 1:00 pm
I'm 45 and would love to have thick dark lashes. But I must admit the only time I've worn false eyelashes was a couple of times when I was clowning. I found some long rainbow eyelashes (that matched my wig). I tried them, but they made me feel very sleepy. But they did look cute.
Hope my experience makes you smile.
Frances On Monday, January 9 at 1:01 pm
Ree, first Happy Birthday!!!! Only 43, I wish…… I am going to be 59 on Saturady….. I don't feel bad about it but next year turning 60 will be a tough one for me. 40 never bothered me, 50 didn't either but just thinking about the 60 is giving me butterflies… enough about me, now onto you and the eyelash thing! I am too scared to try them so I found a Estee Lauder eyelash primer. Its amazing and my eyelashes look way longer and thicker. I have a girlfriend that has the eyelash extensions. Now they look amazing but you have to keep it up, every three weeks which I would find a hassle and its expensive, up where I live anyways. Over the years my eyebrows got way thinner, I think I plucked them too much so I use an eyebrow powder that you can use dry or wet. It lasts all day. Let us know if you try these and help us all to get the guts to give it a shot!
Angela in GA On Monday, January 9 at 1:35 pm
I started wearing them for pageants because my own lashes are shorter and scarcer than most and mascara only helps so much.
I was taught by a woman in her 70's with more make up and rings than you can shake a stick at (think old school Jersey.) BUT she wore them every day and had since she was 20. So…
She said put a mirror on the table in front of you, let the stuff dry for a minute and inner corners first. After 3 trys, I have a 90% success rate for first try.
Debbie Bee On Monday, January 9 at 1:36 pm
Happy Birthday, Ree. Here's your present: a web tutorial on individual lashes from the wonderful, inspirational Lisa Eldridge. http://www.lisaeldridge.com/video/1961/individual-fake-eyelashes/
This is so helpful and informative. And all her tutorials are mesmerising
Good luck x

Do I have to Marinate Venison?
Depending on the cut of the venison, you may or may not have to marinate venison. The leaner the cut the more you would need to marinate it to add flavor and decrease its toughness. If you do choose to marinate make sure you marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 days.
