The Inn's three acres of flower and vegetable gardens allow TE a truly unique "garden to table" dining experience for our guests. The gardens were designed with a series of linear walking paths amidst the 100% organic vegetables, edible flowers and herbs.
Espaliered 100% organic fruit trees adorn the bead board fences along the paths. Cisterns of rainwater collections provide an inviting green approach to the watering of the gardens. Our gardners are always excited when harvesting seasonal bounty for our chefs. We are always delighted to have our guests visit the gardens, and find repose in the beauty of nature.

Now it seems things are going to get very messy as some Nigerian banks have taken over telecommunications company, Etisalat. Recall that they had attempted to do this earlier, but was stopped by the intervention of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Nigerian Communication Commission.

The Etisalat takeover occurred following the breakdown of its negotiations with Nigerian banks over its USD1.2 billion loan.
According to reliable reports, the takeover followed the collapse of the effort by Emerging Markets Telecommunications Services, EMTS, promoted by one-time Chairman, United Bank for Africa, UBA, Hakeem Bello-Osagie, to reach agreement with the banks on debt restructuring plan in the protracted $1.72 billion (about N541.8 billion) debt impasse.

Crinkle your nose kind of fun
We saw ol' crinkle nose this weekend, so you know what that means -- I can't edit the photos fast enough to please Brennan's fan base. More cuteness to come, but this will have to do for now.

I almost gave up on making Cinnamon Streusel Banana Bread. I had tried several different recipes that sounded really good, but was disappointed with how they turned out. They were okay, but not nearly as good as I thought they would be. I decided to make one more attempt. I searched again and found this recipe at Canadian Living. I'm not sure why this particular recipe caught my attention, because I'm usually drawn to recipes that have photos–and there wasn't a photo shown with this one. But for some reason, I decided I needed to try this out, and I am so glad I did!
I changed the recipe a little by doubling the streusel mixture…and then instead of just sprinkling the streusel on top of the bread before baking, I also sprinkled a layer of streusel in the batter itself–and that's what made it so good! If you decide to try this, you may think, like I first did, that the amount of streusel you're putting into and on top of this bread is way too much. But when you taste it after it's done, you'll be glad you used all that streusel! Some of the streusel on top of the bread will fall off when you remove the loaf from the pan, but there will still be plenty of streusel for you to enjoy.
So if you're a streusel-lover, I think you'll really like this bread. As you can see in the photo above, there's a yummy layer of streusel in the bread and a substantial amount on top of the loaf. Double the streusel yumminess! This recipe makes one 9×5″ loaf.
CINNAMON STREUSEL BANANA BREAD (adapted from Canadian Living)
- 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 large)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (I used unbleached flour)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 Tablespoons cold butter
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9×5″ loaf pan; set aside.
Prepare the streusel: In small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in walnuts, then set aside.
Batter: In large bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla. In separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; stir into banana mixture. Then stir in walnuts.
Spoon HALF the batter into greased-and-floured loaf pan. Sprinkle batter with HALF of the streusel mixture. Add the rest of the batter over the streusel mixture in the pan, then top with the remaining streusel.
Bake at 350 degrees for 60 to 70 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (my baking time was 70 minutes). Let loaf cool in pan for 15 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely.
You can wrap the loaf in plastic wrap and store for up to 2 days, or wrap in foil and freeze for up to a month.
Hope you enjoy this bread as much as I did! Are you a streusel-lover too?

signed & delivered dear cybertoothtaigress
Your help is quested. Please sign and forward the following petition on behalf of my sweety-pie 90-year old aunt. Aunt Monica is ultra-alert, quick-witted, very charming, and as does everyone, she deserves quality of life for the rest of her days on this planet.
An Appeal to Congresswoman Castor and the Media – Abandoned 90-Year Old with Possible Cancer
If interested, please also Like the Facebook post about the petition
by searching [ Karen Tai, Tampa, FL, email@example.com ]
from within FB.
With heart-felt thanks and trust that goodness prevails.
Posted to Facebook this morning:
My first-ever petition failed; only 13 signatures were garnered from a few thousand outreached to. Clearly, the failure to rally support for my 90-year old aunt is not about my friends. All of my friends, including Facebook Friends, are caring, compassionate, concerned citizens. So what caused the petition to fail?
First, a quick bit of background.
My energy is that of an organized doer. I like things tidy and neat, and I am very proactive when things need doing. However, one size fits all is irrational in most anything in life. While I try to organize and motivate others into action, I respect that everyone's path, passions and m.o. are unique to every individual.
Even so, most of my online Friends, and likely yours, are take-action-doers. They broadcast and request prayers, host events, participate in other's events, share ideas, dreams and wish lists. There are many cool doings throughout our online communities, and that is one significant aspect to their lure.
So what caused the petition to fail?
I wracked my brains for a time, questing an answer to why my appeal for help for my aunt so thoroughly tanked. Crunchy schedules? Energetic overwhelm? Fear of repercussions? Bad writing? Wrong audience? The reasons remain unclear, and are likely an amalgam of these possibilities.
What remains clear is my aunt requires that referral for a thyroid specialist, an Endocrinologist, a specialist of our choice – not a specialist of her doctor's insistence.
Sadly, we can no longer trust my aunt's doctor of 20 years. Her doctor is diagnosing my aunt with something she does not have in order to cover-up his mishandling of her thyroid. Very saddening, and hugely appalling.
We are not looking to sue. We need that referral. Those nodules on Aunt Monica's thyroid need to be examined for possible cancer, and her hypothyroidism requires treatment.
We need to ensure quality of life for the rest of Aunt Monica's days on this planet. She deserves that.
So I pressed the reset button on my 90-year old aunt's scenario.
A new petition was released this morning. This new petition focuses on a different audience – someone who serves our country/state, and the media – in addition to re-extending outward to my friends, including my FB Friends. The petition is directed FL Representative Kathy Castor, the 10 NEWS INVESTIGATORS team, and NPR.
There is no Thomas Edison, here. Hopefully, it will not take 10,000 attempts to succeed in connecting with the people who will help Aunt Monica. :-D
Please sign and forward the petition.
An Appeal to Congresswoman Castor and the Media – Abandoned 90-Year Old with Possible Cancer
Thank you, and, PEACE-ON!
Excellent Linda Yes dear Eddie yes & dear Sagenhoney your petition is signed
Hi, I'm a very new member but I've just heard about Monsanto and couldn't believe what I read. I came across it while speaking with someone this morning. Do you have any info on this and what is the general consensus of this company? Thank-you and hope to be on this site many times.

When something really good happens, we say, ―Thank you, God! When something really bad happens, we say, ―Oh God, please no!‖ In such moments are we not at least hopeful that there is a God who hears us? Helen Schucman said that the purpose of the Course was to help us come to an awareness of the presence of the Inner Teacher. Becoming progressively aware of the Inner Teacher enables our finding a way home. There is a Self, a loving, wise, gentle, guide who knows the way Home. This Self knows our deepest heart's desire and the decision we…Read More
Light Work: Fatigue And How To Get Through It
I've been there, in that place where we are so filled up with light and love and the wish to save the world, that any of the darkness hurts so deeply. I think that all of us lightworkers have been in this place at least once or twice before. Because we do want to save the world, after all, that's what we KNOW we are here to do! But it's not always as easy as scooping the earth up in our arms and carrying it, all by ourselves, to a better, more peaceful era. Though sometimes I wish it was…Read More
Principles of Energy Medicine
Energy medicine recognizes energy as a vital, living, moving force that determines much about health and happiness. In energy medicine, energy is the medicine, and energy is also the patient. You heal the body by activating its natural healing energies; you also heal the body by restoring energies that have become weak, disturbed, or out of balance. Energy medicine is both a complement to other approaches to medical care and a complete system for self-care and self-help. It can address physical illness and emotional or mental disorders, and can also promote high- level wellness and peak performance. The essential principles…Read More
Lightworkers: Perks and Pitfalls
Being a Lightworker means committing to doing God's work of co-creating a world of peace and love through forgiveness and service to one another. A Lightworker can be a healer, a poet, a teacher, or a parent, but being a Lightworker means doing our best to live the Christ Life. Being a Lightworker means anchoring the Light of God into the world. If our work is not Guided by the Light of God, then it's simply not Light-work. Why It's Called Light-Work Instead of Light-Play One of the most obvious perks that comes from being a Lightworker is that it…Read More
Angel Numbers And Their Connection To Earth Angels
How do you stay connected to Angels and higher dimensional beings? Numerology can be used to help us get closer to our Angelic guides and higher dimensional selves. Here are some of the ways in which Angel Numbers and Numerology can provide loving angelic guidance to Earth Angels and Light Workers. What is an Earth Angel? An Earth Angel is thought to be someone who was previously a higher dimensional being who decided to incarnate here on Earth to have a human experience. Earth Angels are called to help the Light Workers and other beings trying to raise the frequency…Read More
Karma & Grace
Today, those of us seeking our own personal spirituality are especially aware of the influence of karma and grace. Let's explore these two forces, and let's begin at the very beginning. In conceiving us, God gave us the gifts of individual consciousness and free will. With these we were to come to know ourselves to be ourselves, and yet choose to be one with the Whole (God, others, and ourselves). Only with independent consciousness and free will could we choose to be God's companions and co-creators. Yet, these powers are often compared to a two-edged sword, because they can lead…Read More
The Spirit of Your Mind, Your Money, and The Mystery School of Cash
There is a power within you to create and master your mind and your money in brand new ways that is your natural birthright, which I refer to this as The One Command process. I discovered this great ability when I came to a pivotal moment in my life where I faced the cross roads of loss of my home and investments or a life of financial abundance lived with joy and peace. In many ways the understanding that arrived was more than a miracle, and in others it was one I had prepared for all my life. The One…Read More
The Ascension and God's Children
You were born during a very special age of evolution. Not only for Mother Earth and all of her children, the Earth Angels; the plant, mineral, and animal kingdoms, the ocean and its inhabitants, but also for the human race. This is the time for all of us to make the shift to a higher vibration and frequency. The Ascension is called the "Graduation Time" for humanity and all of God's Earth born children. The ascension is much like a quickening that is referred to in the book of Revelations as the Armageddon. The Christian bible is only one great…Read More
Manifesting with Joy!
By Robin Rose Lately the question of manifestation has been coming up in my circle, and I have to really think about what the process of manifesting entails. Why do things come to some and not others? I have one daughter who can manifest like nobody's business. She just puts out to the universe what she wants (no matter how absurd it is) and 9 out of 10 times it happens for her. Now, her sisters are confused by this because it is not their experience. These girls have been raised by the same parents and taught about life in…Read More
Message From Mother Mary
From the Divine Mother Mary given to Robin Rose on 6/8/2018 Oh, poor of heart, hear my plea. My own heart is breaking for the sadness I feel in you. There is a vast and growing schism between you and the Father who loves you so dearly. The noise of this world is screaming louder and louder and you have become so accustom to it that you can no longer hear the still small voice that lives within your being. You are so sad and off balance from this world, this world of appearances, that its becoming more and more…Read More
The Birth of Christ Consciousness
The year 2012 . . . the year most ancient civilizations foretold to be the end of civilization as we know it. We certainly heard a great deal about it in conferences, magazines, cable shows, and of course, on the internet. But beyond all the hype, is there any truth to the 2012 message? Do human beings have anything to be concerned about? Were these ancient masters and shaman mistaken or perhaps exaggerating? It would seem the answer is no! Earth Changes are Coming! The earth's geological and archeological records, as well as the channeled readings of Edgar Cayce, tell…Read More
11:11 Another Opportunity In Our Ascension Process
This is truly a miraculous time. In September 2015, the Earth was bathed with Celestial Light in frequencies beyond anything Humanity or the Earth have ever been able to safely receive. This influx of Light was infused with Gamma Rays that were specifically encoded by our Father-Mother God to be assimilated by each person's I AM Presence and used to recalibrate our DNA structures. This event exponentially moved the Earth's Ascension in the Light, and the Divine Alchemy of Humanity's physical Transfiguration into our 5th-Dimensional Crystalline Solar Light Bodies, forward a quantum leap. This recalibration of Humanity's DNA has been…Read More

… the pressure is back on, after yesterday's time-out. But first, with a nod across the Mediterranean to our man in Tel Aviv who started the ball rolling with this vid, here's a homey piece of real life, as it plays every single day, in this humble (yet proud and clean) French home. Granted, as evidenced on the clip, the pace does get exhausting. But once addicted to the thrill of show business, who can resist the high? Must be something like the one provided by Columbian marching powder, although I wouldn't know from firsthand experience. Seeing what it did to some of my colleagues and friends was sufficient excitement for me.
Back to the unrelenting press of words – the community blog beckons with none other than the canine writer herself. Coming right up after the Sunday market and sundry matters concerned with the upkeep and maintenance of our earthbound existence.
11:30 Funny. I had no conscious recollection of that September 7 Cattle Call post I mentioned yesterday (nor of its attendant illustration) when I glued these together a few months ago (yes, I know they're crooked). But if I look at the stuff I jotted down on the day I threw these postcards together, I was angsting about going forth and getting rejected by yet another literary agency. Amazing all the stuff that collects just below the radar of our awareness. Had you asked me yesterday morning what was the illustration on the September 7 post, Id' have been completely blank. (If anyone doubts that, check what the Freudian imp just did in the preceding sentence. I'd have corrected it but I'd have missed out on a perfect case in point.)

Humphrey DeForest Bogart was an American actor. He is widely regarded as a cultural icon.
The American Film Institute ranked Bogart as the greatest male star in the history of American cinema.
After trying various jobs, Bogart began acting in 1921 and became a regular in Broadway productions in the 1920s and 1930s. When the stock market crash of 1929 reduced the demand for plays, Bogart turned to film. His first great success was as Duke Mantee in The Petrified Forest, and this led to a period of typecasting as a gangster with films such as Angels with Dirty Faces and B-movies like The Return of Doctor X. His breakthrough as a leading man came in 1941, with High Sierra and The Maltese Falcon. The next year, his performance in Casablanca raised him to the peak of his profession and, at the same time, cemented his trademark film persona, that of the hard-boiled cynic who ultimately shows his noble side. Other successes followed, including To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep, Dark Passage, and Key Largo, with his wife Lauren Bacall; The Treasure of the Sierra Madre ; The African Queen, for which he won his only Academy Award; Sabrina, and The Caine Mutiny. His last movie was The Harder They Fall. During a film career of almost thirty years, he appeared in 75 feature films.

Author's Note: The purpose of this series is to establish a vehicle through which to explore some far darker themes than I normally do through a series of short individual chapters. Some suspension of disbelief is required, and the narration may shift depending on the perspective of each piece. If you're reading a chapter in this series for the first time, please read the short Introduction for the background and set up.
"Hey Jenna, check this out." Jenna looked up and glanced across the counter. They had both been working the register near the end of a typical day, and Anton had been watching the monitors for several minutes now.
There were a handful of kids in the store, and apparently two of them had decided to utilize the changing rooms for some fun. On the screen was a girl on her knees in relatively tight confines, giving her boyfriend a blowjob. Jenna had noticed the punk couple when they first came in, it was hard not to. The girl was taller than average, probably five foot ten or eleven, fairly thin with a shocking red Betty Page haircut in a short black skirt and beat up t-shirt.
Her boyfriend was taller still with spiked jet-black hair in tight jeans and a beat up jacket. For punks they were a bit more on the poser side, a bit too well groomed to be actual street kids, and Jenna smirked a bit at their feigned teen angst. Now, looking over at their unknowing performance, her dismissal of them seemed a bit premature.
They both watched the scene develop for a few minutes in silence. The girl was giving some sexy ladies get happy to max smalltits and homemade good head to her boy, who was leaning against the wall, his pants down to his thighs. Eventually she lifted her own shirt to give him access to her breasts, but the angle of the camera didn't provide a good view of them. One thing was clear, though, and that was that after more than five minutes, the two didn't seem to be in any hurry, and potentially were going to take it further.
Anton looked at the clock, then over to his partner, nodding to the three remaining customers on the floor. She read his mind and casually walked out from behind the counter to the nearest one. "We're going to be closing now, if you don't mind," she said quietly, motioning towards the exit. "If you have any purchases to make, please do so." She gave each the same suggestion, more or less urging them to leave even though it was not quite closing time.
None had anything to buy, and all three allowed themselves to be ushered out without much concern.
After locking the door behind them she returned to the counter, leaning over it to watch the monitor some more. Sure enough, things had progressed. The boy's pants were now completely off, and he had his girlfriend up against the wall, fucking her from behind underneath her skirt. "What do you think?" Anton asked. "Do we just go in there and bust them for public indecency?
Think they'll buy it?" "I dunno," Jenna said thoughtfully, trying to balance her ardent desire to join them with a clear-headed way to do it safely. "They don't seem the type to put up a fight, but then it's a pretty weak charge to try and blackmail them with.
What if we separate them? One upstairs, one down here. Although to be honest I kinda want to get my hands on both of them." "I bet you do. You know what, fuck it. Let's just go in there and drag them out. The shock of it will probably freak them out for a second, and if we just jump right in maybe they'll go for it." Anton paused, waiting for her to think it through. He knew she was totally hot right now for both of them, and he personally couldn't wait to get his dick up that skirt.
"Who knows, maybe they're as perverted as us. I mean, look at them." While they'd been discussing, the scene had gotten even livelier still, with the girl bending fully over, her hands almost to her ankles as he pounded her.
And they could actually hear them now from across the store. It didn't really seem like they had any reservations about what they were doing. "Ok," Jenna said finally. "But I get to go first." And she sprang playfully from her perch, all but bolting over to the dressing room door. Anton smiled and grabbed the keys to the rooms before following along, deliberately taking his time as she waved at him to hurry. Once at the room he started taking off his clothes.
"Aren't you going to strip?" he asked when Jenna didn't join him. "I'm just gonna drag him out here and suck his dick while he watches you fuck her. Assuming that's what you're planning on doing with that." She glanced at his hard on. "Yup!" he said with enthusiasm as he put the key in the door and pulled it open in one deft motion.
The young couple inside had no time to react before he'd reached into the tiny room and pulled the boy off and out of his girlfriend, passing him over to Jenna who promptly pushed the red wap com xxx pani nikalna back against the wall next to the doorway and got on her knees in front of him.
He let out a feeble, "What the fuck.," but Jenna had his dick all the way down her throat so fast he was pretty much stunned, and not necessarily displeased with the trade off.
The girl, who's back, or rather ass, had been facing the door didn't really see what was going on. She'd been deep in the throes of her passions, still bent over at the waist, and only started to stand up sensing the commotion behind her before Anton had entered the room and pushed her up against the back wall.
At the same moment as Jenna blonde teen lilly ford gets the chance to taste jmacs monster cock getting her boyfriend's cock into her mouth he lowered himself slightly behind her and shoved his own stiff rod up and into her fully wet pussy, holding her tightly with the weight of his body. "If anyone's going to be fucking in this establishment, it's going to be us, understood?" Before the girl had a chance to scream, or even react, he was fucking her as hard as he could with the intention of overwhelming her with the excitement of it.
Whether it worked or not, she didn't make any noises of protest for the first minute or so, and actually began to moan again when he didn't let up. Outside the room Jenna was giving the boy what had to have been the best blowjob he'd ever received, stroking him completely into her mouth, burying him until her face pressed against his taught, hairless abdomen. Sensing him getting close to cumming she undid her pants and pushed them down over her hips as she face fucked him, slowing her pace to enjoy his young cock in her mouth a bit longer.
Inside the room, only feet way, they could both hear Anton talking to the girl. "Is this what you wanted when you came in today?" he asked when she seemed to start enjoying it.
"To be fucked by the man who's store you thought you could use however you wanted, you fucking slut." He was really giving it to her now, pressing her hard up against the back wall with her skirt bunched up around her waist. Her above average height gave him a perfect angle to get himself deeply into her, and her cute young butt made fantastic slapping noises with each thrust. "I bet your sweet little pussy hasn't had any big man cock in her yet, has she?
Oh, but I can tell she's liking it now." The girl only moaned louder, not resisting but letting herself be raped. "And I bet your boyfriend's about ready to give it to my partner right about now, isn't he Jenna?" He raised his voice to sure they'd hear. "Oh yes he is," came her response. She'd grabbed his dick and had turned herself from him, getting down on her hands and knees, bringing him up behind her.
"He's gonna fuck me alright, and he's gonna fucking love it!" She brought him right up to her pussy, plenty wet already in anticipation, and let him push it in.
"Come on, you nasty little punk. Stick that hard young dick in my hot cunt. Oh yeah! That's it!" He'd slipped it in and was nailing her in no time, making her even more turned on. "Mmm, nice. Fuck me just like that. Fuck me nice and hard like a good slut deserves." The boy had his hands on her hips, moaning hard as he fucked her just outside the door of the room where he could clearly see his girlfriend getting almost identical treatment.
"You guys are fucking insane!" he eventually found the courage to say. "You okay in there, Cassie?" From the back of the room he heard her mumble an almost incoherent assent under her moans. "Yeah." she cream pie zoe zane hardcore and granny. "Mmm, I think I'm gonna cum." Her voice trailed off as she started shiver a bit beneath his relentless pounding.
She was silent for a moment as it began to break in her, then she let out a series of long loud screams, cumming hard and continuous while Anton didn't let up, building himself to the same place. He managed to go another minute or two, but finally let it go, pulling out and shooting a huge load onto her, creamy ass. Meanwhile Jenna was slamming herself back against the boy, forcing him to give it to her as hard and as fast as possible, knowing he was surely about to cum.
"Come on, fuck toy. Fuck me harder than that. Fuck me until you give me that hot cum. Oh yeah!" She was almost ready to orgasm, and wanted to feel him swell and stiffen in her to get her over the edge.
"Come on, baby, give my sweet pussy your cum. Give it to me." She was talking it right out of him, feeling him suddenly grow and become impossibly hard.
She reached back with one hand and grabbed the back of his thigh, making sure he came inside her. When he released it he slammed her hard, thrusting his hips and knocking her forward onto the floor. With his legs straddling her thighs he fucked her furiously as his cum shot into her, making her orgasm explode, turning her words to lustful cries that filled the whole store. Anton stepped back and leaned with his back against the door jam, looking at the pair on the floor.
The boy had withdrawn and sat back, his slick erection slowly fading, while Janna rolled over and sat up. In the room the girl was sitting on the little bench in the corner, pulling on her panties. Anton finally spoke. "I'm Anton, and this is Jenna.
Obviously we own this place. I assume you're name is Cassie?" The girl nodded. He turned to the boy, "And you are?" "Trent. And you guys are either totally crazy or totally awesome." Anton looked over at Cassie. "You agree with that?" He was trying to gauge her reaction to having essentially just been raped. "I'd have to say the same thing," she said sheepishly, avoiding his stare. "Are we in any trouble?" Internally he felt a huge sigh of relief knowing they still had the upper hand, but didn't show it outwardly.
From her seat on the floor Jenna gave a little laugh. "No, sweetie, not exactly, although what you were doing in the first place was absolutely wrong. But I think what we just did about it kind of makes up for it, don't you think?" Cassie thought about it for a second, but Trent immediately chubby boy with bear gay, having just gotten to bone two women for the first time.
To bring the point home, Anton spoke up. "If you agree with that, Cassie, I don't see the need to get anyone else involved. Not the police, not your parents." She looked up suddenly, wide eyed, and he knew he'd hit the mark.
"We can more or less call it even if you like and leave it at that. Like our own little law of the jungle. And to show you there are no hard feelings, go ahead and pick out some stuff you like and we'll let you take it, free of charge." They all got dressed again and the two kids found some stuff they liked which Jenna bagged up for them and gave them at the door as she let them out. "Now this has to stay between us, remember, or you'll have to face consequences that will not be at all pleasant." The two nodded their agreement and left.
The next day around four-thirty, Cassie came back to the shop and found them both behind the counter. They looked at one another but said nothing.
"Hi," the girl said, nervously. "I, uh, I wanted to thank you for being so good to us yesterday. It was really cool of you not to turn us in or anything, and it was, well, really fun what we did." "Well, you're welcome," Jenna said.
"Have you been a good girl and not told anyone?" "Oh yeah, totally!" she said in a hurry, "Nothing like that, I mean, you know, never. It's just that, I was wondering, um, if I could. I mean, that if you needed someone. If I could get a job here?" They smiled at each other, and then back at Cassie. Anton said, "Hm, well, That's an interesting idea.
We don't really need anyone, but we could probably find something for you to do around here." He looked over at Jenna and winked. "Tell you what. Why don't you go with Jenna upstairs and she'll start interviewing horny beautiful gal gtes her booty hole screwed. And in a little bit, when we close up, I'll come up and join you." The smile that came across Cassie's face made her look absolutely delicious, and Jenna was more than happy to have been given the opportunity to evaluate her.

I want you to know that you are deserving of love. And I don't just mean the love you're your family, partners and friends. You are deserving of love from yourself. You deserve to look in the mirror, stare yourself straight in the eyes and proclaim your love to yourself and mean it. You are deserving of your own love.
I want you to know that you can accept your body now. That doesn't mean when you've lost weight, put your makeup on or altered your appearance in any way at all. Accept yourself exactly the way you are, right here and right now. We're all plagued with that inexplicable desire to look different than we already do. But, know that you are a gift and so is the body you are blessed to have. The fact that another woman might be beautiful doesn't mean that you aren't. By all means, look at those you see in the media and celebrate their beauty, but also celebrate your own. You can accept your body now.
I want you to know that you are not alone. Whenever you're feeling lonely, scared, anxious or anything in between, know that there's someone out there who understands you and will support you. Don't be scared to reach out. Allow yourself to be vulnerable in front of others. Lower your walls. Find a tribe who can support you. You are not alone.
I want you to know that you are stronger than you think. Sure, each and every day can seem like a battle at times. But you're here, and that's incredible. Recognize your strengths, each and every one of them. Strength comes in many different forms, from getting out of bed when you don't want to, choosing love after heartbreak and simply showing up in life. You are strong.
I want you to know that you are enough. You are enough simply because you were born. You do not need to earn the right to be enough. You do not need to be the perfect mom, the perfect wife, the perfect employee, own the nicest house or be anything other than being yourself to be enough. You are enough.
I want you to know that your body loves you. It's not trying to punish you with a bit of extra weight around your hips, or uncontrollable acne or a nose you find unattractive. Your body is doing absolutely everything it can each and every day to keep you alive. Cherish it. Appreciate it. Take care of it. Your body loves you.
I want you to know that you can choose happiness right now. Happiness is not a jean size, a new car, a fancy job or a perfect life. Happiness is a choice that you can make no matter where you are in your journey. Happiness is focusing on those things you have to be grateful for each and every day. Happiness is a mindset and one you have the power to choose. You can choose happiness right now.
I want you to know that above all else, your truest Self only wants you to has ever wanted is for you to become your very own best friend. Show your body and mind the love it deserves. Place your hand on your heart and proclaim your love for yourself. Accept every last bit of you- the good and the bad. Know that you are not flawed- you are a gift to this universe, and you deserve your own acceptance. Understand that you are never truly alone because, through thick and thin, you always have yourself. By all means, reach out to others but also be your own shoulder to cry on, no matter what happens. Be there for yourself.
You are strong.
So even when the going gets tough and life starts to get you down, remember, you're already enough. You already are beautiful, unique and stronger than you know. Celebrate yourself, take care of that incredible body, do things you love, choose to be happy and most of all, be your best friend.

Higher Education & Research Citation Impact in BRICK countries moves towords world average, impacting innovation and wealth creating according new sciencewatch report
February 27, 2013 Leave a comment
See on Scoop.it – Dual impact of research; towards the impactelligent university
Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Korea—the BRICK nations—have repeatedly been noted for their growing influence in the global economy and research landscape, and are often referred to as "emerging." What would move them from emerging to established?
To capture a better understanding of their progress, we reviewed data on R&D spending, human capital, research publications, and patent filings—key indicators of the sustained, diversified research innovation base enjoyed by many of the G7 knowledge economies. The data not only confirm and quantify the rising status of countries beyond the G7 axis as a group, but also spotlight the individual complexities that offer a richer tapestry behind the "emerging" label.
For the analysis, this report draws on data from Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge, Derwent World Patent Index, and third-party data, including the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Red de Indicadores de Ciencia y Tecnología (RICYT), and the World Bank.
The authors: "Investment in higher education and research builds up a country's knowledge capacity, its ability to use discovery and innovation to create economic wealth, and its potential to realize benefits in health, culture and the quality of life. The increases in output that reflect the growing level of investment will not immediately be translated into world-class research because, as we noted, it will take time to train a new generation of researchers. It will also take time to draw the quality of the new research to the attention of the rest of the world.
That said, we can already begin to see strong signals of improving research impact among the five BRICK countries (as seen in Figure). In order to get a handle on research 'excellence,' we have used the frequency with which publications are cited by later works as an index of their impact on the rest of the research community. Citation rates vary by field and citation counts grow by year, so the actual citation count is adjusted (or normalized) for both discipline and year of publication as a ratio on the appropriate world average in the same Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge data, to give a Relative Citation
Impact index (where world average = 1.00)."

Rebecca and Dennis McEuen - Owners and Propriotors of Running Wild Yarn
For over fifteen years, we have been selecting and breeding Cormo Sheep. The objective of our breeding
program is to further propogate a hardy, fine fleece animal. In 1998, we began have our Cormo wool processed into roving
and yarn. The reponse we have had to these wool products has been phenomenal. Recently we began blending our Cormo wool
with Angora rabbit and Alpaca fiber to create that luscious feeling and visual luster.
We currently
raise 65 head of Registered Cormo sheep, plus Angora rabbits, Huacaya and Suri Alpacas, and commercial sheep. We offer breeding
stock and orther animals for sale periodically. Check our stock for sale page or contact us for more information.
Our goal for the coming years is to provide high quality wool and alpaca fleeces
in natural colors. While others continue to breed out natural colored wool for white, we are striving to bring you
natural colored wools while continuing to produce the fine fiber that is the hallmark of high quality cormo and merino
We love to share our story with others. So feel free to return to this page, as we add new pictures of
our ranch, our animals, and especially the excitement of our family as they learn life's lessons here in Montana.

Kandrakar is said to be the centre of the universe, and housing the protection of all planets and beings. The one in control is the Oracle, he will with the help of the council of Kandrakar, judge the faith of planets. The oracle and the council then elect five guardians, who will represent Kandrakar, and do all the field work. Kandrakar was founded by the five nymphs. Xin Jing who most of us already know as the nymph of the elements, she is part of a legend that tells how Kandrakars came to be. The four other nymphs were named Oneide, Téa, Ebla and N'ghala. Oneide was the nymph of life, and made everything possible. Téa was the nymph of the sun, she made Kandrakar bloom. Elba was the nymph of the moon, she gave Kandracan its magic, and N'ghala was the nymph of the stars.
The road to Kandrakar, have been told by Yan Lin. She told Hay Lin that to get to Kandrakar you had to walk the air-coloured bridge. Though we have seen many ways to get to Kandrakar. The girls got permission to go to Kandrakar by their own will, the oracle is the only one who can give this permission. The girls don't even need the heart to travel there. We have not yet seen the air-coloured bridge Yan Lin talked about.
Kandrakar looks like a big sterile fortress. It is in all white and light blue colours. The looks of it is very heavenly and is sort of a dream world. The inside of Kandrakar is much like the outside, all same colour and dream like style. The fortress is en constant change, most of the rooms are changing shape and size. The members of the council also have a room each (we have been in Yan Lin's room once) and they are able to change it as they please, here they also have private bathing and sleeping areas. The oracle however is in total charge of the overall looks of the fortress. When Endarno/Phobos was the oracle he changed the inside of the fortress to a much more gothic style, and much more medieval majestic style, with a lot of red and gold.
The council of Kandrakar is placed in the temple of the congregation. This is also where the oracle goes public with his thoughts and decisions. In the middle of this room (where the oracle is placed) there is a small pool where the oracle can see the saturation of where ever he'd like. There is a prison which is located some where both inside the fortress and in a tower at the end of the empire of Kandrakar. Yan Lin was once the keeper of the key to this place. Each prison cell is designed to keep the specific person locked inside. The cell for Elyon was designed to slowly drain her of her powers, and the chains where resistant to her power of light.
Another room worth mentioning, is the room which Yan Lin showed to girls where the girls could see all the past guardians carved into the walls. This is one of the countless meditation rooms on Kandrakar. These is mostly used by the Oracle.
Another very important room is the chamber of the aruameres. This is the room where the elements can be overlooked be a keeper. This use to be Luba, but she interacted with the elements and the caused a chain reaction, which made all of the elements end up in only Cornelia. This lead to another reaction, when all elements end up in one person, the old guardian Nerissa is awoken.

You like Hold Your Horse Is. Although… you may not actually know it yet.
Signed to Big Scary Monsters (need you any more recommendation?) they have tunes as awesome as their name. Unless you think Hold Your Horse Is is a rubbish name – in which case the tunes are actually lots more awesome and you're not.
If you're one to shy away from big crunchy riffs because yr not a fan of the growly vocal style that so often accompanies post-hardcore then keep reading – for HYHI are the band for you. Said riffs are as bludgeoning as anything that, say, Pulled Apart By Horses have come out with, but are accompanied by a much more indie-friendly vocal. Basically it's proper rock music that you can sorta dance to (providing you're not too fussed about how coordinated you are) and can definitely sing along to – thanks to the clear vocal.
Their brand new song and cameo-tastic video 'Forgive And Forget' hit the interwebs yesterday and you should really watch it right now.
It's also a free download from the bands website.
You should consider this a a full-on endorsement of Hold Your Horse Is. And something of an apology that they didn't make Track of the Week with 'Forgive And Forget'. Assume that at some point in the next few months they'll take the spot however.
If the above video's not enough for you then there's a bit of material available on their bandcamp for 'pay what you like', some stuff on Soundcloud and the shop has further goodies that you can purchase.
Whilst you're investigating them and Big Scary Monsters you should totally subscribe to the BSM '11 collection. It features 52 songs (one each week of the year) plus a free CD from a selection from the BSM catalogue. This week's track is from Walter Schreifels, the sometime frontman of post-hardcore heroes Rival Schools. It's fantastic.

Press release
After the critically acclaimed and overwhelming debut album 'Gluid' in 2006, we now finally have it's successor, entitled 'Twee' (Two). That it took some time is not surprising, producer Bram van den Oever (aka Gluid) has been busy…
Mid 2007 the project 'Binnensuis' was released by esc.rec. in a limited edition. This was a half-hour soundtrack for a performance in which the symbiosis of monologue, dance, theatre and music made sure that you were irresistibly drawn into the wonderful but insane world of the main character.
Many theatre soundtrack commissions followed. From 2007 to early 2010, Bram van den Oever almost continuously worked on (live) soundtracks for theatre plays and dance performances. Intensive processes in which music primarily serves to complete the greater picture. In this period he also shined with a Gluid composition for the Herfsttonen festival in Okkenbroek, released by esc.rec. as well. The little time he had left in between jobs, he spent on sketching and finishing most songs for this album.
In comparison to his debut, 'Twee' is probably a bit less introvert, although entering the world of Gluid continues to be an immersive experience. Which is a good thing. Compositions have grown even richer in texture and sound. The production methods have also changed somewhat. Where he once restricted himself by only working with field recordings as a source material, he is now free of these restrictions and has introduced actual instruments into his music. Field recordings still play a major role in his compositions though. One restriction remains and that is the equipment. This album was almost entirely made on the nearly fossilized AKAI S2000 sampler and ATARI 1040 ST computer. Amazing.
With his debut and other projects, Gluid has raised expectations high. Expectations he gracefully fulfilled in this new gem. Enjoy.
Check some reviews of this release overhere.

Tommorrow morning I'll bid central Oregon farewell- at least for now- and begin the trek back to New York. It's gonna be hot; I'll be going through the Southwest and then the Deep South on my way back home.
This time around the route is a little more conducive to Music-Nerd Tourism- we're talkin' Texas, the Mississippi Delta, Memphis, Nashville etc. I may even stop in Vegas– try and catch the resurrected Elvis before I go to Graceland to catch the forever-resting Elvis.
Keep an eye out for posts from the road. So long Oregon! You've been a kind host.

FILE – In this Dec. 15, 2003 file photo, singer/songwriter David Bowie launches his United States leg of his worldwide tour called 'A Reality Tour' at Madison Square Garden in New York. Bowie, the innovative and iconic singer whose illustrious career lasted five decades, died Monday, Jan. 11, 2016, after battling cancer for 18 months. He was 69 (AP Photo/Kathy Willens, File)
David Bowie's death from cancer at the age of 69, which was announced early Monday, drew tributes from the world of politics, religion and astronomy as well as entertainment.
British Prime Minister David Cameron and Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby both spoke fondly of listening to the "Space Oddity" singer's music while coming of age of the 1970s. Welby, who holds the most prominent position in the Anglican Church, called Bowie an "extraordinary person."
"I'm very, very saddened to hear of his death," the archbishop told the BBC. "I remember sitting listening to his songs endlessly … and always really relishing what he was, what he did, the impact he had."
Others paid tribute on social media, led by British Prime Minister David Cameron, London Mayor Boris Johnson and astronaut Tim Peake
I grew up listening to and watching the pop genius David Bowie. He was a master of re-invention, who kept getting it right. A huge loss.

EU High Representative Federica Mogherini will on 5 February welcome Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili to Brussels, to take stock of the good progress made on the Association Agreement between Georgia and the EU. A key point on their agenda will be the significant increase in Georgian exports to the EU over the last year, achieved thanks to the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area that is part of the Association Agreement.
Materia Fashion House, a key player in the local clothing industry, was one of the first Georgian companies to benefit from the EU4Business-EBRD credit line that opened up under to the new agreement.
EU funding helped Materia modernise their equipment and introduce best workplace health and safety practices for a newly built factory. This has allowed the company to expand, increase their exports and lead the evolution of the Georgian fashion scene.
"The EU credit line was the best fit for us. We focus on boosting our competitiveness, increasing the quality of our products, taking care of and creating better working conditions for our people," said Lado Giorgadze, CEO of Fashion House Materia.
Clothing produced by Materia can be spotted on international fashion shows as well as in various public institutions in Georgia: the army, police, post office staff and many more. The company works closely with the Georgian rugby federation producing uniforms for the national team's junior players and a wide range of rugby clubs.
The EU4Business-EBRD credit line is a joint initiative between the European Union and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) targeting small and medium-sized enterprises in Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. All three countries are signatories to an Association Agreement and benefit from signing up to the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area with the EU.
Since 2009, the EU has contributed €35 million in Georgia triggering €711 million loans to local companies helping create more than 2,400 new jobs.

The entire revenue record of the district has been digitized and is being accessed online by all the officials for their work. Earlier, the database access done manually would take time and cause delays. With this, Kolhapur has become the fourth district in the state to go completely digital in its revenue department work.
The issue of inclusion of names of legal heirs to a property card often causes confusion and disputes. To avoid this, the state decided to digitize records for faster access and resolution of disputes. The project to digitize all property and land records began in 2013. The work involved digitising all 7/12 extract receipts, which is the basic document required to establish one's ownership over a piece of land.
"Over the past three years, the district has digitized all the 10 lakh 7/12 land extracts. Soon, mutation work will also be completed, which will significantly reduce the waiting period for 7/12 extracts and its updation," said Pratap Patil, district informatics associate.
Land ownership changes hands and requires addition or deletion of names on the extract. There are 35 different types of land-related documents and it is a challenge for a person to handle cases randomly. This affects productivity and leads to technical errors, Patil added.
Over 50,000 documents are processed every day across the district for reasons such as land purchase, change in name, inclusion of nomination or successor, caste certificate, etc.
Digital accessibility to land records, its ownership and mutation will solve major problems and ease the entire procedure of land sale, lease or transfer of ownership. As large scale land acquisition needs document clearance, the corporate sector will also benefit from the digitization process.
Girish Raigabage, former chairman of Credai (Kolhapur chapter), said, "It is important for us to get all clearances from the revenue department to undertake construction activities. With digitization, we hope to finish the procedure in less than a month. Earlier, we would have to wait for around six months to get the clearances."
A department official said there are over 130 village administrative officers (talathis) in Kolhapur, of which, more than 100 have received laptops with internet connection and printers to access the software of land records.
District collector Amit Saini has decided to seek more funds through DigitalIndia initiative to get lease line internet connectivity at circle level. This would bring high speed internet connectivity for faster processing of documents.
The complications related to land records in Kolhapur city delayed the work of digitising revenue department records in Karvir tehsil. In Kolhapur Municipal Corporation area, land documents are called property cards.
However, in some cases, land was still registered as 7/12 extract instead of property card. This caused confusion and counting of certain land records. It took almost two years for the administration to solve some problems.

This wiki is a community-maintained resource about everything there is to know about IPFire. Join us and help us improving it!
Use the search and find answers to everything about IPFire. If you cannot find what you are looking for, join our community and talk to fellow IPFire users, developers and everybody else involved in the project.
The Domain Name System (DNS) is used to translate human-friendly computer hostnames into IP addresses. Dynamic DNS (DDNS) usually is used in environs where an ISP doesn't offer a static public IP address. To enjoy the benefits of DNS in such cases Dynamic_DNS has been developed.
A Dynamic DNS provider assigns the current used address to a chosen hostname. Every time the public IP address has changed, an update request is required to point the hostname to the new address.
This technique allows people to provide and access services running on systems protected by IPFire in environments with dynamic WAN addresses.
IPFire ships an update client which supports various dynamic DNS services. The configuration page can be accessed from the Services section of the menu bar in the IPFire WUI.
Here you can configure how the DDNS client will try to get the current public IP (red) address.
By using the first option (default setting) the update client uses the assigned IP address of the red interface. If your IPFire system is hidden behind a router you may want to select the second option, where the public IP address will be determined by an external server.
In the "Add/Edit a host" section, a new DDNS host can be added or an existing one modified. Just pick the desired DDNS provider from the list, fill in the hostname and your login credentials and press the add button.
Detailed information about the required input for differnet DDNS provider can be obtained from here.
The last section on the page contains a list with all configured DDNS hosts. Each entry easily can be enabled/disabled, edited or deleted. An additional button allows to perform an update for all entries.
A green coloured entry indicates this DDNS entry as "OK", which means the hostname points to the current red IP address. If an entry is coloured red, an update is required. A blue coloured entry points to a disabled entry, where a black coloured one simple indicates a non FQDN hostname.

Genetic privacy? *shrug*
It takes more than just a biological blueprint and circuit diagram to reconstitute a cyborg.
Cloning or genetic modifications shouldn't hurt the sense of individuality - bring it on. In the future it may have all the characteristics of a pointless exercise - to worry about others having access to your entire genetic code...
You drop so many copies of your DNA every minute that it'll take extreme and possibly impractical effort to keep secret. The issue should probably register no more importance than whether or not others know what type of CPU you run. Letting others have knowledge of your DNA and other system information constitutes something of a security risk, but the biological/mechanical/electrical hardware alone doesn't define you the cyborg. Just as critical can we consider the information structures,memories,storage and the 'software' running on your CPUs and neurons...and... more and more, the 'network'
With perpetually networked cyborgs, at what point in cyberspace does an individual cyborg begin and end?
Individuals seem often to consider memories to form a fundamental part of the definition of self..
The future may increasingly see the 'network' acting as a shared memory for countless cyborgs... still very much individuals ... but with greater pools of commonality than the non-augmented humans.

Subscribe To Go Behind The Scenes Of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy With A New Featurette Updates
I've already subscribed
When one thinks about spy thrillers, the obvious names that pop up are James Bond, Jason Bourne and Jack Ryan. These movies are typically filled with fast cars, fancy gadgets, and highly stylized action that always ends with the hero triumphing over evil. Tomas Alfredson's Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy, however, appears to be a completely different kind of film. Starring Gary Oldman as a protagonist past retirement, the story centers on a hunt for a mole in MI-6, but seems to be much more methodical than action-packed. But don't take my word for it. Check out a new featurette about the film that was released via the film's official website.
Every time I watch any footage from Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy I have to remind myself that Gary Oldman is the same guy who played the over-the-top sadistic cop in The Professional and the white Rasta pimp in True Romance. The film premiered just a couple days ago at the Venice Film Festival and was the subject of much critical lauding, some already saying that this might be Oldman's year to win his first Oscar. Guess we'll have to wait and see on December 9th.
For more on Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, including news, images, trailers, posters, and more, be sure to head over to our Blend Film Database.

I've been reading Mary Oliver's poetry rather steadily over the last year or two, so, when I got hold of her latest book, Thirst, I was excited and couldn't wait to start--but I was totally unprepared to be "blown away," as they say, by the poems I found.
The book jacket tells us that the Pulitzer Prize winner ventures into two new areas with this collection and one of these is her discovery of faith.
Oh my! For those of us who supposedly live a public life of faith each day, it is humbling and yet wonderfully inspiring to read such openness of someone's faith journey. And, of course, since it is Mary Oliver, it is expressed marvelously.
Here's one of my favorites--though I have others. Watch for them in the weeks to come.
It doesn't have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch
a few words together and don't try
to make them elaborate, this isn't
a contest but the doorway
into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.

This post is long overdue and serves as a sweet treat after my last post. I promised I would review the Bobbi Brown's Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation SPF 15($46.00) when I bought it and then I bought the Maybelline New York Super Stay Full Coverage Foundation ($12.00). I absolutely love both and, in my opinion, I feel like the Maybelline New York Super Stay Full Coverage Foundation can be used as a dupe for the Bobbi Brown's Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation SPF 15. While I love both of the foundations, I realize that they were a shade or two off. Maybe I'm a little snobby but I really wanted to find a foundation that actually matches my skin color. There was just one problem standing in my way.
I had no idea what my undertone was until I marched myself into Sephora and asked for help. A part of me was leaning towards buying Fenty Beauty's Pro-Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation($34.00) but I needed a shade reference! After finding out that shade 440 matches me perfectly, I thought about buying it. However, beauty vlogger Jackie Aina's "What We Never Knew We Needed? Beauty Bakerie Foundations" convinced me I needed to start paying attention to the Beauty Bakerie brand. It's not that I didn't pay attention to the brand before but I just never bought anything from them.
It's no secret that I'm big on supporting black owned businesses so I was very happy to send my coins to Beauty Bakerie when their Cake Mix Demi-Matte Foundation($28.00) launched a couple of weeks ago. After watching beauty blogger Jackie Aina's video "What We Never Knew We Needed? Beauty Bakerie Foundations,", I decided to buy the Beauty Bakerie Wake & Bake Hydrating Face Oil($28.00) as well. The oil claims to work for all skin types from dry to oily and is vegan. Although I'm not particularly snobby about things like this, I am trying to be more mindful of the products I put on my skin so this was a huge plus for me. I purchased the foundation in the shade #11 and it looks like a brown bottle of yummy goodness.
For extra measure, Beauty Bakerie slipped another foundation in the next shade up in my package (they did this for everyone who ordered their foundation for the first time). I thought this was a nice touch because sometimes our skin isn't exactly one shade and it made me really respect the brand that much more. The other thing I love? They created a shade system that numbers their darkest shade as #1. Typically darker foundations are at the end of the shading system with most brands but CEO Cashmere Nicole decided to change the game.
Which Foundation Ranks #1?
After careful consideration and periods of wearing each foundation, I am hooked on Beauty Bakerie's Cake Mix Demi-Matte Foundation. That's not to say that the other foundations in my makeup bag are trash because they are far from it. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the foundations I listed but I love the Cake Mix Demi-Matte Foundation because it matches my skin color perfectly. I feel like it makes my skin color pop. I mean, it's like they took my skin color and made it flow in a pretty bottle and marketed it to perfection. This is how you represent for the brown girls.
One Small Tip
I typically use a foundation brush to apply my foundation but I decided to try something different. I decided to apply the Cake Mix Demi-Matte Foundation with the beauty blending egg that was also included in my package and I prefer using that better with this foundation. From my experience, this product works better if you work in sections because it dries down a little quicker than most foundations. If you are going to use a beauty blender, be sure to pat the product into your face instead of dragging it across your face.
Honestly, I may be only buying a good chunk of my makeup from Beauty Bakerie from now on. I'm hooked. It gives me the same feeling I get when I walk into my favorite bakery, The Cake Shop, in Tallahassee, Florida. I have to stop at this bakery whenever I'm in town because they are amazing at what they do.
If you haven't stopped by Beauty Bakerie, I highly suggest you do because this is a brand that caters to many skin types.
