Now before you start reading this, brace yourself because its going to get sad. I advise you to just click out of this entry if you're not the type to appreciate raw emotion. Thats exactly what this is going to be.
I woke up a few hours ago because I went to sleep around 8PM. Its currently 3:00 AM as I write this. I was laying in bed and I kept feeling anxious and I know every time that feeling occurs I have to get up. Most of the time when this happens to me thoughts and feelings clutter my brain and I start to lose my breath. I tried to over come the feeling but it wouldn't go away so I made my way into the living room. I didn't even put the T.V on I just sat there in my own thoughts with my head clouded.
I started to feel so sad and it drives me crazy when this happens because it comes out of no where. Sometimes I wish I could wake up one day without anxiety and just live life like a normal person. I don't know what it feels like to just go through a day without having to catch my breath or stop my heart from racing. Anxiety truly can have you feeling like the whole world is crashing down in a matter of seconds.
With that being said, good old anxiety got the best of me tonight. As I sat here trying to overcome my sadness all of a sudden I started thinking of my aunt. I would like to share with you all one of the hardest things I've went through in my entire life. Losing one of the women I held closest to my heart would be it.
My aunt, who I know as my Titi, passed away on August 4th, 2011. I was turning 20 that year and even now 6 years later when I think about it I still feel the same. My Titi was in her late 30's when she passed away. The passing of someone you care about is never easy, but when its unexpected its even harder. She wasn't sick, no she wasn't sick at all. In fact she was heart broken which hurts me even more. I'm not going to go all into detail about that but knowing that my Aunt left this earth feeling the way she did kills me inside.
The moment my world turned upside down:
Now for the people who know me, I have the most dramatic family ever. This is probably something everyone thinks at one point or another about their own family, but I really do. Haha. Side bar; This entry might run all over the place. Just stay with me.
Okay so on this particular day my sister and I were on our way to our old best friends house for a night of turning up and drinking. We were all so excited because it was a girls night and we were all going through our own little side issues. I remember sitting in her room and my mom had called me telling me she couldn't get in touch with my Aunt.
My Aunt has three beautiful daughters. At that time she was living in Brooklyn with her youngest one. So my Aunt was a talker, kind of like me but worse. She could talk to you for hours and hours and LOVED being on the phone. As I'm writing this I'm laughing because that sounds like me. Anyways, she would call my Grandma every single day. The reason my mom called me was because on this day no one had heard from her. Now this was very unusual, but me being 19 and my mom being herself, I brushed it off. They were so worried something may have happen to her and I'm like "Okay mom, shes fine stop worrying." Not even knowing in about an hour my life would take a turn.
Still thinking we're about to have such a fun night, we were getting ready to start drinking. I was in the kitchen with the girls when I received another call. This one being the one I never want to get again.
"She's gone, my sisters gone, she's gone." My mom said as she cried. I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to believe her. I didn't believe her. She kept crying and telling me my Aunt had passed away. I never felt such a feeling in my entire life the way I did at that moment. Everyone around me found out the news from hearing me on that call. I couldn't tell anyone anything. I ran, and I mean I literally ran. I opened the front door and I just couldn't stop. I broke down. I couldn't be near anyone. It wasn't real to me. The only thing I could do was get away. I sobbed and ran at the same time. I didn't know where I was going but I was going. I didn't feel anything, I didn't lose breath. It was like I wasn't even there.
When I finally stopped I called my Dad. I tried to tell him what happen but he couldn't understand me through the hysterics. I couldn't even understand myself. I kept saying "It's not real, its not real."
My mom had come to pick my sister and I up which I dreaded. I knew it would only get harder from there. I knew my grandma would be heart broken and my mom would be the same. I tried so hard to hold it together for them, I just couldn't. I didn't sleep that night at all. I didn't even want to be at my house. Everything reminded me of her. Every single part of that home to this day reminds me of her, it hurts.
I remember playing with my Grandmas hair as she was trying to sleep, wishing I could take away her pain. Each one of us were broken inside. I wanted her to fall asleep so bad just so that she wouldn't hurt for a moment. The thought of never speaking to my Aunt again just replayed over and over. It literally had me sick to my stomach. For days I couldn't eat or sleep. I felt so guilty. I felt guilty that I was on this earth and she was not.
I would just cry randomly. I was such a mess. Words couldn't explain the hurt I was feeling. The thought of my 3 cousins not having their mom here anymore baffled me. There were so many things I was trying to wrap my head around. My mother losing her sister, my Grandmother losing her daughter. I couldn't imagine any of this ever happening.
The only thing I could do to comfort myself was listen to Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, cry and write. I wrote out all of the things I wanted to say to my Titi. I could have went on for days in that letter, but I knew eventually it had to end. One of the hardest things I ever had to do was read that letter at my Aunts wake in front of everyone who loved her.
My aunt was one of my best friends. She means the world to me. She had the biggest heart of anyone you could ever meet. All she did was care about the people she loved and making them happy. She was so proud of her kids and her nieces. She loved each one of us so much and always showed it. My Aunt had a rough life growing up. She went through and overcame a lot of obstacles that I wish she never had to go through.
If anyone in the world deserved me to muster up my courage to read that letter it was her. I could barely get a word out without crying. I didn't care that people were watching. All that mattered to me is that she heard what I had to say. I didn't want to stop speaking because I knew once I stopped it meant goodbye. I never wanted to say goodbye.
People say losing a loved one gets easier with time. I think thats a lie to make us feel better. To help the hurt surpass thinking one day you wont feel like someone punched you in the gut when you think of that person. It doesn't happen. At least not with me.
I wouldn't wish the loss of a loved one on anyone in this world. The feeling I got tonight broke me down. I cried like a baby. I cried those cries where you gasp for air because you can't catch your breath. I'm glad I cried because I needed to. It led me here. Writing this entry at now 3:47 AM.
One thing I know is my Aunt would be proud of me. She was always proud of me and I know she really would be now. I still have dreams about her. One time I dreamt she had called me. I remember in my dream thinking this isn't real. I didn't want the phone call to ever end. I wanted to stay on the phone with her forever. I was so happy to talk to her. I was so happy to get one of those long ass calls that I could never get a word in for, just like I used to.
If I could apologize to my Aunt it would be for thinking I had more time. I never expected there to be a day I would wake up and she wasn't here anymore. The weekend before she passed she asked me to sleep over her new apartment. She was so happy to move there. I know she just needed company. I wish I never said "another weekend." Another weekend never came.
I love my Aunt with all of my heart and I wish I could hear her voice again. I wish I could just hug her and cry to her. I wish I could let her know how much I love and miss her. I wish I could take away all the pain from my Mom, my Grandma, and her daughters. I wish I could go back in time and have that sleepover.
This has to be the most open I could ever be and most true emotion I could ever share with my readers. As I sit here trying to see the screen through my tears I'm truly happy I could share this because I know someone somewhere is dealing with a loss like I have. I know someone can relate to this gut wrenching feeling and I hope it makes them feel a teeny tiny bit better to know they're not alone.
For the people who made it to the end of this entry, thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to get a look into what makes me really me. I'm a strong individual but even the strongest people can break down sometimes too. My Dad always told me when you cry it shows you have a soul. Well boy oh boy tonight I know for sure I have one of those.
This entry is dedicated to my Aunt.
Danielle Stiuso ♥ Rest peacefully Titi ♥

Best Hair WaxHealth & Beauty
American Crew Liquid Wax
American Crew is known for producing top-notch hair products for men (though we're sure women can use them too!). With this product, American Crew shows us that it knows how to make top-notch hair waxes as well! The American Crew Liquid Wax comes in a liquid form and allows customers to shape their hair however they want. This versatile hair wax gives you the ultimate flexibility in terms of styling while also providing a medium hold on your hair. This hair wax ensures that your hair will be able to move and not feel stiff. You'll get a natural look and hair that stays in place, without the rock-hard feel.
The liquid wax functions like a hair wax but also contains the styling properties of a hair gel (hence why you're able to manipulate your hair easily). The hair wax has also been noted to work well on many hair types and has even been stated to work well on short, thinning hair. One customer referred to this hair wax as "liquid gold," saying it definitely helps to provide volume and texture to your hair. For a 5.1-ounce bottle, you can get the product for a reasonable price of $12. There are some customers, however, that said they wish the product's hold was a bit stronger and another customer said their hair felt a bit dry after using the product (though we're sure some conditioner can fix that!). Still, if you want a quality hair wax that gives you flexibility, we recommend checking out this product
Dashu for Men Super Mat Hair Wax
The Dashu brand understands how important it is to have your hairstyle last throughout the day. With the Dashu Super Mat Hair Wax, customers can rest assured that their hairstyle will remain intact for the whole day. The hair wax, exclusively made for men (sorry ladies), works well with medium to short length hair types and provides a super strong hold on hair. In addition to its strong hold, the hair wax provides customers with a matte finish, so if you're one who likes your hair to look natural and not very shiny, then this product will be good for you.
Although this hair wax has a powerful hold, you will still be able to style and manipulate your hair as you desire. The hair wax also contains natural and beneficial ingredients such as argan oil and black bean extract which can help to strengthen your hair as well. If you're into waxes that have a scented smell, then unfortunately, you'll be out of luck with this product. This product contains a neutral, organic smell due to the natural ingredients in it. The product is also made in Korea, but luckily the pricing isn't so bad, costing a moderate $12. If you want a hair wax that's going to give you a lasting hold and a natural look, then look no further than this product!
Maneuver Work Wax by Redken
No products found.
Next up on our list is Redken which is another top brand in the hair care industry. The Maneuver Work Wax by Redken is a product that makes it clear why this brand remains on top in the industry. The hair wax allows you to do exactly what its name states: maneuver your hair. With this wax, you can style your hair in any way you desire. The hair wax provides a medium hold on your hair and best of all, this hair wax can be used on many hair types and lengths! Just getting out of the shower and need to get your hair prepped for the day? Feel free to use this hair wax on wet hair or towel dried hair.
Here's another great thing about this product: It can be used on men or women's hair. That's right. This reliable hair wax has no bias and can be used on anyone's hair. Customers have praised this product for not being greasy and creating heavy buildup in your hair. As an added bonus, customers have also said that this product has a long-lasting shelf life. The product has also been said to feel light but provide a good hold, according to some customers. The only qualm we have with this product is that it's on the slightly pricey side, coming in at $13 for a 3.4-ounce bottle. Still, with its versatile features and great reviews, we find this product worth making our list.
TIGI Bed Head Wax For Men
- This product is made of high quality material
- Beeswax, cera caranauba and a blend of polymers provide separation
- Pliable wax with matte definition
TIGI is a brand known for making great pomades, hair roll-on sticks, and creams. With that said, it's no surprise that TIGI would be great at making hair waxes too. The TIGI Bed Head Wax proves that bed head hair can be made to look stylish and cool. The hair wax gives customers the flexibility to style their hair any way they want. The hair wax also provides a distinct matte finish to your hair while giving your hair a natural look. Not looking to have overly shiny, hard to the touch hair? That won't be a problem when you use this hair wax!
Although the hair wax gives you a very natural look, it has been said to have quite a strong hold on hair. The hair wax is also made with beeswax, cera carnauba and a blend of polymers to provide separation thus making this product pliable on hair. With its quality ingredients and superb hold, this hair wax is humidity resistant, meaning you don't have to worry about those spikes falling flat due to hot weather! The product is also available for an affordable price of $11 for a 3-ounce bottle. Customers have also noted how much they loves the smell of this product; but some others have stated that they wish the product provided more texture and a bit more gloss to their hair. Nevertheless, the TIGI hair wax contains some great features to give you a naturally-styled look, making it worth our list!

Next on our list is the brand, Challenger and we must say this brand is definitely a top contender in the hair care industry. The Challenger Blue Matte Styling Cream certainly makes its mark in the hair wax world with its superb features. The hair wax provides a medium-firm hold on your hair while holding its shape. This hair wax can easily be applied to damp or towel dried hair. A great feature of this product is that it does not leave flakes in your hair like some pomades do. Additionally, this hair wax doesn't clump like a clay, meaning you won't have any unwanted residue or buildup in your hair. This hair wax provides a natural, matte finish that is considered a popular look today. The product won't make your hair shiny and it works well on short, medium, and some longer hair styles.
The hair wax has a clean, subtle scent that smells good, but is unnoticeable on your hair. If you're the kind of person that likes their hair to smell like their product, then this product doesn't do that. Nevertheless, the hair wax is water soluble and easy to wash out. Also note that you won't have to use shampoo every time to rinse this product out (meaning you can save on shampoo). Due to its compact size, this hair wax is also travel friendly and is easy to carry around in a backpack, satchel, or suitcase! The biggest drawback of this product is its price which costs a hefty amount of $18 for a 3-ounce bottle. Still, if you're looking for a high-quality, versatile hair wax, this could be the one for you!
Gatsby Moving Rubber Hair Wax
- POWER STRIKES -Strong holding power keeps hair spiked all day-
- Recommended hair length:Very Short, Short
- Styling Power :(10/10)
Earlier on this list, we reviewed a great product from Korea. Now we move to another great product this time, made in Japan and by Gatsby, a leading hair care brand. The Gatsby Moving Rubber Hair Wax shows us you can get a firm hold while also still having a great amount of control over your hair. The hair wax contains a very strong holding power, making it perfect to get spikes in your hair that will last all day. Even with its strong hold, the hair wax enhances movement in your hair, meaning your hair won't feel rock-hard and stiff. The soft texture of the product blends easily throughout your hair and allows you to reshape your look as many times as needed (after applying the product once).
The hair wax is formulated with a smoothing polymer, that allows for a non-sticky, light, and natural finish. The hair wax contains a pleasant, mild green-apple fragrance that will not linger or compete with other applied fragrances. The product is nicely paraben-free and does not make your hair very shiny. The product itself, rates its styling power a 10 (out of 10) and its shine is a 2 (out of 10), meaning it doesn't provide much shine at all. The product comes in at a reasonable price of under $10. The only downside we can note is that this product works primarily for short to very short hair meaning it isn't very compatible with longer hair styles. Nevertheless, if you have short hair and like this product's quality features, then this product could be for you.
Style Sexy Hair Control Maniac Wax
- Sexy hair short sexy hair control maniac wax is a superior wax that supplies extreme control and definition to give you...
- Gives your hair a shiny, finished look with no flyaways.
- Supports the root and gives free-flowing volume.
The Sexy Hair company shows us that it's dedicated to making their customers hair, well, sexy! The Style Sexy Hair Control Maniac Wax couldn't have a better product name in which this hair wax is all about controlling even the most unruly hair and ensuring it looks "sexy" afterwards. The hair wax provides an extreme hold on your hair, but also allows you to style your hair any way you desire. This sleek hair wax also ensures maximum definition of your hair and works to preserve your hairstyle for the entire day. You won't have to worry about a tilted mohawk during a very windy day, cause this hair wax has your back!
Unlike most other hair waxes, this hair wax provides you with both a firm, all-day hold and a visible shine. Even on the product's bottle, it states how it provides a 7 (out of 10 we presume) shine and a 7 hold, meaning this product has a pretty strong hold and provides a good amount of shine on a scale of 1-10. The hair wax also helps your hair acquire texture. Customers have praised this product for controlling frizz and for not making your hair feel stiff after usage. What isn't very praise-worthy is the product's small size of 1.8-ounce for a price of almost $12. Though you won't get a huge amount of wax in your bottle, there are great things to be said about the amount of wax you do get, thus making this product worth our recommendation.
Gummy Wax Keratin
No products found.
The Gummy brand shows that it's all about giving you the perfect, "extreme" look and a lasting hold with this product. The Gummy Wax provides a maximum hold on hair without making your hair feel stiff. While customers will be able to have their hair stay in place with this product, they will also be able to freely style and shape their hair as they wish. The hair wax has been said to leave a softer, moveable hold and does not make your hair very shiny. A few customers have noted that when they used the product their hair was still able to "move with the wind." One customer said that their hair shaped into a new, wind blown look (which, if you like that, should be okay with you).
Nevertheless, the product works with many hair types and has been said to work well with thick, wavy hair. Many customers have said that the hair wax also provides your hair with volume and feels lightweight on your hair (though, a few customers said it was too lightweight for them). The product is also water based, meaning it's easy to wash out of your hair. Best of all, this product is infused with keratin which can help nourish your hair and scalp with each use. The product is also free of alcohol meaning you won't have to worry about your hair or scalp drying out. The product is also available for a very affordable price of under $10, for a reasonable 4.7-ounce bottle. So if you want a product that holds your hair without damaging it or making it stiff, we recommend this product.
Schwarzkopf Osis Flexwax Cream Wax
Next on our list is the brand Schwarzkopf. With a name like that, you can figure it'd be a memorable and well-known hair care brand… and it is! Known for making the Got2B hair care line, Schwarzkopf makes it clear that it knows how to make all types of hair products, and hair waxes are no different! The Schwarzkopf Osis Flexwax Cream Wax is a forced to be reckoned with for its ultra strong hold on hair. Though the product provides a very firm hold, it is in fact flexible and gives you the control to manipulate your hair how you want.
The cool thing about this hair wax is that it is gluten-free. That's right. For all those allergic to gluten, there's finally a hair wax out there for you to safely use. Another great thing, that many customers have noted, is that the hair wax is good on many hair types. One customer noted how they have thick hair and that most waxes didn't work for them until they came across this one. With many great reviews about the product comes some not so good ones, however. A few customers have said that the product feels a bit greasy and tacky and isn't the best for spiking hair. Also the product is slightly more pricey, at about $14. Still, many customers have said that the product is able to shape and mold hair well and it smells pleasant, making it suitable for our list.
Paul Mitchell Dry Wax Firm Hold
No products found.
It wouldn't be a complete list if we didn't feature the Paul Mitchell brand. Known for making salon-quality products, Paul Mitchell is certainly a force to be reckoned with in the hair care industry, and their hair wax only further proves our point. The Paul Mitchell Dry Wax Firm Hold is a quality product that can be used by both men and women. That's right ladies and gentlemen, the Paul Mitchell brand doesn't discriminate! The hair wax provides a firm hold on your hair but also contains styling properties, making it easy for you to manipulate your hair how you want it.
The hair wax can be applied to either dampened or dry hair, so no matter if you like to style your hair right after a shower or when you're about to head out, you can use this product anytime! As stated by customers, this hair wax has been praised for having a great smell. Customers have also praised the product for not feeling sticky and for not leaving residue. The hair wax can be used on many hair types as well, with some customers saying it even works well on wavy hair. The biggest drawback of this product is its price, which will cost you a steep amount of $19 for a 1.8-ounce bottle, making it the most expensive on our list. Still, for being a trusted hair care brand and for delivering a wax with great features, this product is worth our list.

Councillors at the Planning and Policy committee meeting on Monday voted overwhelmingly in favour of requiring ashtrays to be removed and smokefree signage to be displayed, as part of permit conditions for having tables and chairs on Council owned footpaths. The permits are part of the council's Signs and Use of Public Places Bylaw and will still need to be signed off at a full council meeting in late August.
Smokefree Health Promotion Advisor Julie Beckett said: "We are very fortunate to be working alongside such a wonderful proactive council. The leadership that PNCC has shown in moving towards the Government's goal of a smokefree country by 2025 has been heartening. I'm not aware of any other council in the country that has smokefree criteria as part of their relevant bylaw.
"PNCC also led a remit, which was supported by 53 of 76 councils present at the Local Government New Zealand AGM in July. The remit called for central government to make legislation for all outdoor dining and drinking areas to be smokefree. PNCC is truly leading the way for improving the health and wellbeing of their communities, and in turn contributing to reducing inequities in health."
Throughout the country smoking rates have reduced to below 16%, yet rates for Maori remain high. However, recent data from Statistics New Zealand indicated some very positive trends for Māori in Palmerston North. The proportion of Māori females in Palmerston North who were regular smokers dropped from 43% of Māori females in 2006 to 31% in 2013. The proportions for Māori males were 36% and 27% respectively. The most significant change for Māori females was in the 15 – 24 years age group, dropping from 43% in 2006 to 26% in 2013.

A long-term interest of the Hilton Laboratory is to uncover the molecular circuitry regulating lineage commitment, proliferation, and differentiation of skeletal stem cells, cartilage cells (chondrocytes), and bone cells (osteoblasts). Dr. Hilton's lab uses genetic and surgical mouse models as well as primary cell culture techniques coupled with molecular biology and biochemistry to answer questions regarding skeletal stem cell self-renewal and differentiation, chondrogenesis, and osteoblastogenesis. The Hilton Lab's research focus is divided into three overlapping research programs that include: Skeletal Development, Skeletal Disease, and Skeletal Injury, Repair, and Regeneration.
The Hilton Laboratory is affiliated with the Departments of Orthopaedic Surgery and Cell Biology as part of the Duke Orthopaedic Cellular, Developmental, and Genome Laboratories within the Duke University School of Medicine.
The Hilton Lab has recently developed a novel, patent-pending technology for the isolation, maintenance, and expansion of skeletal stem cells for eventual use in orthopaedic regenerative medicine applications.
Current Projects
- In our Skeletal Development program, projects focused on identifying the mechanisms by which several cell signaling factors: inhibit cartilage formation; induce chondrocyte trans-differentiation; promote osteochondroma tumor formation; and regulate digit number and identity
- In our Skeletal Disease program, projects aimed at understanding the mechanisms associated with joint cartilage maintenance and osteoarthritis
- In our Skeletal Injury, Repair, and Regeneration program, projects geared toward elucidating: the cellular and molecular mechanisms of fracture and critical sized bone defect repair; novel approaches to the isolation, maintenance, and expansion of skeletal stem cells for use in orthopaedic regenerative medicine applications; and the appropriate means for integrating biologics and biomaterials to induce skeletal regeneration and repair

Plans, trains and alpine motives
August 13, 2003
SOMEWHERE IN THE NEEDLE MOUNTAINS – My head is filled with zippers, Velcro, pull strings and packing sacks, water filters, freeze-dried food and sleeping bags. It's a stuffed sack of tents, fleece pillows, forks, Powerbars and stinky socks.
When the alarm goes off at 3:15 a.m., I'm already awake, a reluctant recliner, half-inside my bag, half-out, searching around for my headlamp to pierce the black all around me. It's moist inside the tent, like a sponge that won't dry, and I smell the wet outside the zippered door from five hours of hard rain the day before.
I start to unzip the tent. I'm about to find out if we'll get to climb our third 14er in two days. I'm secretly hoping we can't.
I look out at the sky. Stars. I yell over to Greeley residents Jon and Jess Cooney's tent. "How's it look?" I say, already knowing the answer.
"We're up for it," Jon says.
"OK, I'll be out at 4 a.m.," I say meekly.
Recommended Stories For You
I know I need to go. It had taken us so long to get here, at 11,000 feet, camped at the base of the Needle Mountains in between Durango and Silverton. It took nine hours of driving the state's two-lane highways and a train ride on the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and more than seven miles of hiking with a pack that felt like Santa Claus strapped to my back.
All of this was to climb Sunlight, Windom and Eolus, three 14ers so remote we can't even see them from our high camp. The mountains are difficult, with enough exposure to shake the nerves of a tightrope walker, but if you count just getting to the darn things, they're the three toughest 14ers in Colorado.
We got two of them out of the way yesterday, so we don't want to do all that again just to climb one mountain.
My wife, Kate, stirs, and I envy her. She's not going. She doesn't have to prove anything. She's taken all this camping and hiking like a veteran. She went with us yesterday, when we climbed Eolus and Sunlight for 10 hours. She's not obsessed with climbing all the 14ers like I am.
As I wrestle with my boots and roll outside, into the dark, I begin to think Kate has the right attitude. She groans as I close the tent. I think she's dreaming about Ziplock bags.
When your world is 750 little items you need to camp and climb, your dreams are clogged with them, too, and so it's hard to separate the worlds between awake and asleep, especially at 4 a.m., when we start walking up the trail that will lead us to Windom.
Light fog rises from the sopping plants, further blurring the line between the two worlds. The uncooperative moon refuses to light our way, so I have to use a headlamp, which gives off the glow of the night light I used to use when I was a kid. The ground is soft. The air is cool. And three questions go through my head.
Am I awake? Am I asleep? And why, exactly, am I doing this?
If you couldn't tell from all that whining above, I'm kind of a wuss when it comes to camping. I don't sleep well in a tent. I prefer to shower every day. And, as you saw up above, you're constantly looking in your pack or your tent for something.
So it's funny to start the trip on July 25 in such a tourist trap, a place built to look civilized and attract sight-seekers, not people who like spending whole weekends climbing mountains.
The trap is the railroad. You start in Durango, a tourist's delight in its own right, where residents and many visitors spend a lot of time and money dressing to look casual and "outdoorsy," like they don't care about their appearances. There's a McDonald's right next to the trail, proving once again that the monster corporation always seems to have the best locations even if it serves the worst food: It's packed when we go in for our last bite of civilization.
We grab our packs and load them on the train in a special car, the one where the hobos would sleep if they caught a ride. A worker tells me we'll have to flag down the train by waving our arms under our knees when our trip is completed.
"Make sure you don't stand on the tracks when you do that," she says.
She says all this without cracking a smile.
When you board, the first thing you hear is a railroad worker who says the snack car is stocked with wine and beer and a DVD of the trip is $25 on the train and $30 in the gift store, so you'll "save" $5 by buying it now. I wonder how much T-shirts cost.
The train's off, and a guy walks down and takes out tickets.
"Getting off at Needleton, huh?" he says. "You and a lot of other people."
I suddenly notice other hikers are on the train, and I realize we're not going to be alone. Even a difficult, long trip like this one attracts dozens of people, demonstrating more than anything else just how popular the 14ers are now. It's easy to tell them from the tourists: They wear wool socks, boots and Patagonia shorts, they tend to be thinner, and they spend most of their time getting up out of their seats, stretching and pacing.
The train really doesn't start earning the $60 it charges you until at least an hour after you start. You'll start to see the Animas River then, and soon the train will pass high above a ridge, where you can spot the whitewater from what seems like thousands of feet down. The river is sparking, the color of water amusement park rides, only a lot more natural.
I'm enjoying the fact that the most danger we're facing is getting splattered by water and taking a cinder in the eye from the steam engine when the train's brakeman announces Needleton is approaching. A lot more danger is on the way.
OK, now I'm reminded of the No. 1 reason I'm not a huge fan of camping. My backpack seems to crush my legs, my back and my spirit as we head up to camp. It's a long way to Chicago Basin at 11,000 feet, where most people camp for the night.
Mosquitoes and flies swarm around our heads, attempting to dart in our mouths and give us a little protein.
When we finally get to the basin and find a spot to camp, Kate and I spend some time figuring out our new tent, purchased just for this trip (I sold my solo tent on eBay). Jess and Jon make couscous and chicken. Up here, it's a gourmet meal (OK, by my standards, it's gourmet at home, too). They also bring cards. They rock.
I filter all our water by the stream and settle in for a restless night. My gangly, long body is great for hiking but not so great for sleeping in a bag. My arms constantly fall asleep.
The mountains await, but I have yet to see our goals.
We're on the trail around 5 a.m., hoping to climb all of them in one day. That air of anxiousness, of uncertainty, that always hangs in the air when attempting a peak, is doubled out here. The trip is so involved, so long and difficult, that getting them done while you're here is paramount. I obsess about the weather, about my nagging ankle, about Kate and Jess and Jon.
Jon wants these as badly as I do, yet he's much calmer. He's got a little perspective as well.
His father was passionate about the 14ers but had a heart attack on Longs Peak, and by the time he made it down the trail, where he could be treated, he had half a heart left.
Instead of spending his last years bummed, he decided to start from scratch and climb all the 14ers, even the ones he had already done. He climbed 50 of the 54 before he died.
I can't say that's what is driving Jon to do all of them. I think he thinks they're really fun, too. But some of the best memories of his father were climbing with him. Same with my father. One day, maybe we'll take our kids up together.
We won't start with these three if we do. Eolus is more than we bargained for, a climb over slabs of cliffs featuring something called the catwalk, a ridge no wider than a sidewalk in places with sheer drops on both sides. I love that stuff, but I've done many mountains. Jess isn't quite as excited. Kate, who is even less excited than Jess, stops with more than half the ridge to go and sends us on our way.
When she's on the ridge, waiting for us to return, a Fort Collins resident who has climbed 51 of the 14ers asks Kate if she's stopping there. Yes, she says.
"That's OK," he says. "This is where I stopped last time, too."
He greets us on top.
When we get back and head back down to Twin Lakes, at 12,500 feet, the clouds start to come. We've got to climb Sunlight or Windom, or we won't get all three in. It will be impossible to finish the two tomorrow and get back in time for the train.
We start up Sunlight, and, after a debate, continue through dark clouds at 13,000 feet. We hear thunder at 13,500.
We hand Jess and Kate our packs and decide to run up. The thunder remains distant. It's not the smartest thing to do, but these are not 14ers you can easily get another day. We get to the ridge just below the summit and start to head up when the thunder gets louder.
OK, you're not supposed to be on the ridge during the lighting storm. I can barely make out Sunlight's famed, exposed summit block. We're less than 10 minutes away. I really want to experience it, but I take heart in the fact that many people stop before it and count the mountain.
I reward myself the extra 100 feet and count Sunlight. I call them prudent points. Our party, especially Kate, agrees. If you have a problem with this, you can helicopter me to the final 100 feet and I'll be happy to climb it for you.
Now we have to get down, and we race back to camp. We dive in our tent an hour later, and thunderstorms rattle our campsite for five hours. It rains that whole time. I boil water in the rain and serve freeze-dried meals. Now I'm discouraged, tired, wet and sore.
It's the first time I question why I'm here.
The second time, of course, is back where we started, heading up the trail, determined to get Windom, and this trip, done. It's July 27, and it's early, and by the time we reach Twin Lakes again, it's still dark. But it's been fun so far. I'm ready to go on.
Windom is the easiest of the three, and it turns out that way, but it's still exposed and tough for the last 300 feet. Jess, ready for an easier mountain, isn't too excited again. I'm glad Kate is back packing up. It would make me nervous to see her on this rock with so much air around us.
We're on top at 7 a.m., early enough that we've got the 14er to ourselves, a rare occurrence these days. And I'm reminded why, exactly, I do this. Everyone got to accomplish something: Kate proved to herself she could do a tough hiking trip, Jess overcame her fear at the exposure and climbed two great mountains and Jon and I knocked off three difficult 14ers. I enjoyed the company of good friends.
It's also a beautiful reminder of what's out there.
We make it back, Kate gets properly wowed over our early return, and everything's packed. She's a good girl. It was fun to do these with her.
A pack of goats get a little too close, perhaps reminding us that we are, after all, only visitors. I shoo them off by hissing like a mountain lion. They look amused more than frightened.
The hike back is fun but difficult because of the stupid pack. We play leapfrog with several groups, they pass us and then we pass them, and then we just pass groups and make it back to the train an hour early.
One of the best showers and dinners of my life awaits us, but as we wait for the train, I enjoy talking to the same groups of people we've seen all weekend. It's the nature of the trip to spot the same people over and over, on the train, on the 14ers, in the basin. We all go over our adventures, trying not to brag and failing miserably.
Hikers, generally, are the nicest people I meet. It's probably because they're doing something they love, and they're living life. So they're happy.
The train stops, and the tourists on the train cheerfully ask us about the trip while wrinkling their noses at our smell. Many others, lulled by the chug-chug-chug of the train, are taking the most expensive naps of their lives.
We're now a part of the sights they're seeing on the trip. They snap our photos.
It will be the closest they come to the adventure we just had. And that's the biggest reason why I do this.
I am determined to never let that happen to me.

Hi all,
I recently got together with this girl. She has 2 ex's, the 1st which i don't know, the 2nd which i've seen and talk to before. She told me she lost it to 1 of them. I thought it was with the 1st guy which i don't know so it didn't affect me much. We had sex and after that we talked about our past sex lives. It was then i found out that she actually lost it to the 2nd ex, which is the one i know of. I start to feel very fustrated and it had been affecting my mood. Because i actually know the guy, the images of him tooking her virginity keeps haunting me. I know it's the past and i should let it go but the thought of see him again in the streets again makes me feel very uncomfortable. The guy's a jerk and my gf was stupid enough to believe his sweet talk as it was very obvious he wanted her virginity. I told her to delete every post on social media regarding him and blocked him, including discarding all things from him. And she did. Even thought I know she really loves me and i also love her very much, the thought of a guy that i know took her virginity makes me feel very uncomfortable every time, even after she remove everything of him from her life. We've been talking about spending our rest of our lives together but i don't know if i can as this thought will just keep coming back to haunt me time to time. I'm very confuse now...
Need advice...
u dun so childish leh
It is sex between 2 consenting adults. Please la, not as if your friend rape you gf before. You very narrow-minded.
Accept her for what she is...sex is not everything in a relationship dude...
First, sex is between consenting adults, otherwise it's called rape.
Second, it happened in the past. Anything could have happened, eg someone had sex with prostitute, one of you had multiple sex partners, etc. It would be quite difficult if you would only want a gf who is a virgin.
Third, focus on what you can control. You don't like the guy, fine, cut him out of your life. You already made your gf remove anything that has a connection to him. Don't need to go beat him up or something.
you shouldn't be bothered about that. It was in the past. What matter now is she is committed to you already, right ?
wtf pussy post am i reading, seriously?
u need psychiatric help pronto
Its the past, where let it affect the present
It's really none of your business.
Who took your virginity?
You shouldn't care about it for now man, cherish the time with her instead of thinking bout it.
Why care? It was her choice who she wants to have sex and lose virginity with, not you
Grow up little boy....
Well it is very normal nowadays... Why date her in the first place, you need to grow up.
love her for who she is if u love her
wts.. nowaday who care the girl is virgin or not..
I don't think so
Its just virginity... as long as shes still tight... no need to worry right?
Virgin or nt who cares?most important she is hot..
abi naw
Suck for you to know so much cheer up bro
everyone has a past. just make sure shit dun happen in future will do
look forward
Look past it if u love her

Ever since the above image was released last year. It has had fans asking if the series is going to go back to the origins of 'Sherlock Holmes' in Victorian London and it seems the answer is yes, but only as a one off.
Earlier today it was revealed that the Christmas special, which will air sometime in December is to take place in old London town during the reign of Queen Victoria or fairly close to that period.
Steven Moffat has said that this Victorian episode is a one off and will be separate from the new set of episodes, which will hopefully premier in early 2016.
Moffat told Entertainment Weekly: "The special is its own thing. We wouldn't have done the story we're doing, and the way we're doing it, if we didn't have this special.
"It's not part of the run of three episodes. So we had this to do it – as we could hardly conceal – it's Victorian. [Co-creator Mark Gatiss] and me, we wanted to do this, but it had to be a special, it had to be a separate entity on its own.
"It's kind of in its own little bubble."
The writer confirmed that filming for the special is almost complete, adding that he is very pleased with what they have produced.
Sherlock's special will air later this year ahead of a new three-episode series.

Mercury moves into Aquarius today.
Yeah, so what? I hear you say. I'm not an Aquarian, you say, so it can't affect me.
Yeah…nah. The thing is, the movement of the planets provides the planetary or astro weather forecast for all of us. That means that like it or not, Aquarian or not, for the few weeks that Mercury is in Aquarius, whatever part of your chart is ruled by Aquarius will be where you start to ask more questions, look for more knowledge, want to know stuff. It's also a good few weeks to do some future planning, get your head around the latest and greatest app or social media platform and to have that relationship talk that you've been needing to have. Actually, I lied about the last one. It's not a great time at all to do communication that is deep and meaningful in nature. Wait for Mercury in Pisces for that – and bring tissues….just saying.
Want to know more? Of course you do. Duck over and have a look at last year's post. The link is here.
Mercury will be in Aquarius until February 26.

Jumpgate Evolution and Gran Turismo. And just the same, there it is, smack dab in the middle of a recent interview Gamasutra conducted with NetDevil's Scott Brown. Brown says that in Jumpgate Evolution, instead of merely relying on a level-based progression system, you can achieve ranks in specific classes of weapons and ships in a manner not unlike Gran Turismo's license system.
Brown goes on to talk about their priorities when it comes to putting the game through beta, the lessons they've learned from both Auto Assault and Jumpgate Classic, and the iterative development strategy they've employed. The interviewer also expressed shock--as many have--about the game's relatively lilliputian group of developers, with only 13 people developing such a brilliant-looking game. It's worth a read if you consider yourself a pilot-to-be.

Aue ataahua i tenei ra
Kia ora everyone from the Good Ship R Tucker Thompson. Yes it has been a beautiful day after a hearty send off at Whangaroa. The trainees hoisting sails on departure with Latesha and Shontelle sharing the helm, as the wind filled in and breath brought the putatara to life. Sails set, tacked, released and re set, we eased down the harbour with new dreams. Introducing ourselves to each other we then had lunch and began preparing for the week, stowing away clothes and bedding, learning the various aspects of ship life as we journeyed south to Motukawanui.
Anchoring in Waiiti, Lil Tuck was soon lifted from the foredeck and with Maioha and Toa heading for shore.
We were soon all on the beach before Wiremu gathered us in for some taonga takaro, (life sports) for an hour of much entertainment and testing. The winners were soon swimming, Hunter almost lost his footing but as a loser, first had to fetch a log from the far end of the beach!!! Then swim, then a hill climb as we all got to know a little more about each other. Back to the ship with Tom and Nicholas rowing Lil Tuck, then it was swim swing manu time Toa, Rua, Gabriel, Cody creating much laughter. The cooks were in the galley preparing the cake mixture for the birthday tomorrow of the ship we are all blessed to be aboard, yes the R Tucker Thompson will be 31 years old. Congragulations!!
Now we are settling into the evening routine of classroom activities, the ship quietens a little between bursts of laughter, dinner creeps through the ship as the mighty cake leaves the oven. Lil Tuck hoisted back aboard we prepare for our first night and anticipate tomorrow.

Solomon Islands became a Party to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control on February 27, 2005.
Smoke Free Places
Smoking is prohibited in some indoor places, including hospitals, health clinics, primary and secondary schools, and most forms of public transport. In other indoor workplaces, the law prohibits smoking generally, but permits owners/occupiers to create designated smoking areas within indoor workplaces. Public transport is smoke free with the exception of commercial watercraft, on which outdoor smoking areas may be designated.
Tobacco Advertising, Promotion and Sponsorship
The law prohibits most forms of tobacco advertising and promotion, though some notable forms are not restricted, including internet sales, point of sale product display, reverse brand stretching, and retailer incentive programs. Although sponsorship by the tobacco industry is not prohibited, there are some restrictions on the publicity of the sponsorship.
Tobacco Packaging and Labeling
Rotating health warnings are required to appear on 70 percent of the front and 30 percent of the back of tobacco product packaging. Health warnings on the front surface must include picture and text, and health warnings on the back surface are text-only. The types of warnings required to appear on the packaging of smokeless tobacco products is uncertain. Misleading packaging and labeling, including terms such as "light" and "low tar" and other signs, is prohibited.
Roadmap to Tobacco Control Legislation
The Tobacco Control Act 2010 is the primary piece of legislation regulating tobacco control in the Solomon Islands. Its provisions include restrictions on smoking in indoor places and on public transport; restrictions on tobacco advertising and promotion; and packaging and labeling requirements. The commencement date of the Act was established as May 31, 2012 by Legal Notice No. 34. The Tobacco Control Regulations 2013 were issued by the Minister for Health and Medical Services in December 2013. The regulations contain detailed requirements around health warnings on packaging, testing, and smoke-free signage.
Review Status
This country's legal measures were reviewed by our legal staff. No in-country lawyers or tobacco control experts reviewed our analysis.

Sometimes it's the smaller things that give the greatest job satisfaction as a local councillor. I had a number of approaches from local residents and businesses to see if I could get the lamp posts on our historic bridge painted. The bridge is the pedestrian link between the village car park and the village centre and first impressions count.
The street lighting team at Northumberland County Council reacted speedily to have the lights painted whilst the bridge was closed overnight for resurfacing of the south side roundabout. Up a ladder in October painting lights in the middle of the night is great service!
Big thanks to Ian Wylie for the great picture.

White Night Melbourne 2014
White Night was a celebration of Melbourne's Urbanism and culture on an unprecedented scale. From the National Gallery of Victoria in the South, to the Melbourne City Baths in the North, the city was turned over to the people to explore, feel, participate and spectate over 100 separate activities and installations. Estimates suggest that half a million people flooded in to the Central Business District to take in the festival. At its peak, Swanston Street seemed to have narrowed with the sheer volume of people taking over the street.
Flinders Street Illuminated
Perhaps the most iconic aspect to White Night was the Flinders Street Projections. The artwork created by Electric Canvas transformed the Flinders Streetscape into an intense canyon of colour and movement.
- Flinders Street Station Illuminated
- 'Wonderland' Flinders Street Illuminated
- The Forum Illuminated
- Drawing on Architecture in Chapter House Lane
The State Library of Victoria
The State Library was projected upon both inside and out. From the outside images of roman antiquities artificially aged the neoclassical facade back 2000 years. Moments later a brilliant projection of macro scale plant forms transform the facade into something else entirely.
Once within the reading room, the viewer is exposed to a 360 degree projection entitled Molecular Kaleidoscope 'Virus One Billion Times'. The animation features super sized virus cell structure and DNA chains that pulsate colour around the room to an intense soundtrack composed by Franc Tétaz. The reading room is a perfect location for this expression which mixes science and art so successfully.
Melbourne Central Shot Tower
Of all the fantastic projection and illumination pieces on offer during White Night, one of the most eye-popping pieces was I Heart Melbourne by Kollide Projections. The way that the artist used the brick canvas to create an illusion of folding and sliding bricks was brilliant.
National Gallery of Victoria
One of the most popular attractions of White Night was National Gallery of Victoria. The iconic stone facade designed by Roy Grounds provided the perfect canvas for elaborate projections of tattooed bodies by Nicole Reed and The Electric Canvas. The piece entitled Tattooed City played upon the link between street art on our buildings and tattoos on our skin.
Within the gallery, The Melbourne Now exhibition was in full swing with some additional events such as a silent disco and a RRR Radio Live broadcast.
Aside from the beautiful Roy Grounds masterpiece, a clear highlight is the much publicised 'Bin Dome' by Dr Rory Hyde. Constructed primarily from plastic rubbish bins sourced from Ikea, the geodesic dome sits boldly within the space. It is a sublime piece of design which highlights the confidence and competence of Melbourne's architectural industry.
Naturally for a night like White Night it would not suffice for the dome to be used as a chill out space. Instead a mini dance party was taking place in front of a live DJ to ensure a dynamic audio and visual experience was combined.
Purple Rain
Who would have thought Melbournians would queue for up to an hour, just to see rain. Who would have thought that this wait would be well worthwhile? Purple Rain was an installation art piece by Pierre Ardouvin which creates a truly remarkable sensory experience. Set against the backdrop of the Old Melbourne Gaol, participants are equipped with transparent umbrellas and then enticed into a purple mist. Naturally the experience is capped off by the amplified soundtrack, Purple Rain by Prince.
White Night 2014 was an experience like no other Melbourne has seen. Part arts festival, part street party, part exhibition, Melbourne has never looked more like a cultural hub. Key to this is the world class architecture, the cornerstone of Melbourne's cultural expression.
Architecture is for Everyone.
Michael Smith is Director of Melbourne architecture firm Atelier Red + Black, and this article originally appeared on The Red and Black Architect blog.

Jackfruit, do you want fries with that?
Matt Hall, Senior Horticulture Extension Officer.
Interest in meat substitutes is growing as people are becoming increasingly aware of the social and environmental costs of traditional meat products. Innovative developments to improve the product qualities of cultured meats are progressing, yet there are key considerations around its acceptance with consumers which are yet to be addressed. Plant based alternatives, such as jackfruit, offer great opportunities for this growing market as they are naturally grown, have a similar texture to meat and are truly sustainable. This article lists some ideas on the potential for processing jackfruit as a meat substitute, see the full article on LinkedIn.

Series: standalone

Genres: Historical Fiction
Pages: 400

I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
From the acclaimed author of Secrets of a Charmed Life and A Bridge Across the Ocean comes a new novel set in Philadelphia during the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918, which tells the story of a family reborn through loss and love.
In 1918, Philadelphia was a city teeming with promise. Even as its young men went off to fight in the Great War, there were opportunities for a fresh start on its cobblestone streets. Into this bustling town, came Pauline Bright and her husband, filled with hope that they could now give their three daughters--Evelyn, Maggie, and Willa--a chance at a better life.
But just months after they arrive, the Spanish Flu reaches the shores of America. As the pandemic claims more than twelve thousand victims in their adopted city, they find their lives left with a world that looks nothing like the one they knew. But even as they lose loved ones, they take in a baby orphaned by the disease who becomes their single source of hope. Amidst the tragedy and challenges, they learn what they cannot live without--and what they are willing to do about it.
As Bright as Heaven is the compelling story of a mother and her daughters who find themselves in a harsh world, not of their making, which will either crush their resolve to survive or purify it.
Pauline and Thomas Bright drop everything behind Quakertown when they make the move to Philadelphia in 1918 because the city is the heart of new beginnings and promises.
Thomas has been asked by his uncle to come help him at the funeral home, because his uncle is getting old and does not have any children of his own, with Thomas being his favorite.
Now Pauline and her three daughters, Evelyn, Maggie and Willa have a chance at a better life as they navigate their ways around the new series and adapt to life in a funeral home. But then the 'Spanish' flu sweeps across the globe and as Pauline and the girls watch loved ones die around them, they take in a baby that had been orphaned by the disease and he becomes the source of their hope.
This was a story told in two parts. The first part deals with Pauline and her three girls as they move into the funeral home and how there is just so much hope in that move. Hope for a better life for herself and for her daughters, better schooling. That hope ends up being briefly crushed when Thomas, the father, get's called by draft into serving at war and Pauline stays at the funeral home with the children as the flu sweeps across Philadelphia, claiming many lives.
It was interesting and engrossing following their lives in the funeral home as well as learning more about the events during this time, not matter how difficult it may have been. The flu ended up claiming a lot of lives of people they knew and the war changed the lives closest to them.
It is a story of family, hardships, lost, love and triumphs with the second half, a strong focus on the years following the events that drastically changed their lives.
I adored following the sister's chapters separately because I adored how the author handled each of their stories, and how each sister grew with the events affecting their lives. It was wonderful, the writing was amazing. There is always something about Meissner's writing that simply enthralls me and has me craving for more. I never wanted the book to come to an end. I liked the setting, I liked learning a bit about what happened in the American history during that time. The amount of death and from a funeral homes perspective was both cringe worthy and fascinating at the same time.
The characters were well fleshed out, each sister standing out on her own within their own chapter. Each sister affected not only by the flu, the death, but also by the war and the people around them.
The twist in the end that Meissner delivers about how their actions have also influenced others had been both brilliant and heartbreaking.
The story was beautiful and well told, though at times not easy to read just proves how well the author can get you so invested in the characters and the feelings that it something that stayed with me long after I was done with the pages.
I adore this author and cannot wait to see what she has to tell us next.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Friday the death of toppled Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi meant NATO's military intervention in the North African country had reached its conclusion.
"Clearly the operation is coming to its end," Sarkozy told reporters.
Earlier on Friday, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe told Europe 1 radio that NATO's military intervention was now over, but he said France would assist the interim authorities in the transition to a democratic government.
"I think we can say that the military operation is finished, that the whole of Libyan territory is under the control of the National Transitional Council and that, subject to a few transitory measures in the week to come, the NATO operation has arrived at its end," Juppe told Europe 1 radio from India.
The Libyans "have their destiny in their hands," Juppe said.
"The operation must now conclude because our objective, which was to accompany the forces of the National Transitional Council in the liberation of their territory, has now been reached," Juppe said.
"Our goal was not to kill Qaddafi. When I say us, I'm talking about the coalition, of France within NATO. Our goal was to force him to relinquish power. It was then up to the National Transitional Council to capture and judge him," he said.
French, US and British forces spearheaded the air campaign against Qaddafi's military by the NATO military alliance, which has launched nearly 1,000 strike sorties since March 31.
France was even involved in the ex-strongman's capture when one of its aircraft fired a warning shot at a convoy of vehicles to stop Qaddafi's escape attempt.
President Nicolas Sarkozy on Thursday hailed Qaddafi's death as "a major step forward" for Libya and urged the country's new regime to pursue democratic reforms.
NATO's Supreme Allied Commander, Admiral James Stavridis, is due to issue a recommendation, "probably (Friday), for the end of the operation" in Libya, a NATO official said earlier.
Another senior official also said Thursday that military planners would recommend "within a day or so" whether to call a complete halt to the mission or "to halt the strikes and continue monitoring for a couple of weeks."
A final decision to end the NATO mission will rest with the ambassadors of the 28-nation alliance.
Since March 31, NATO warplanes prevented Qaddafi from crushing a rebellion that erupted in February while daily bombing runs left the fugitive former leader's military in tatters, allowing the ragtag rebel army to take over the country in August.

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYBODY!! What are your guys' plans for the weekend? I think I am going to go see Allegiant at the movies tonight with my friends. Today I have a mini review on one of my favorite, new additions to my makeup collection. The Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer in Nude is a favorite to many and I am so glad I was able to try it out! I love tinted moisturizers and BB creams so this was a great product for me to try.
I love light coverage foundations and creams. This one is very great for feeling like you're not wearing a lot of makeup and looking like you have the most goddess-like skin. Isn't that amazing? It's great at covering up redness and imperfections while your face doesn't feel extremely cakey—which no one wants. It gives off a nice dewy glow so it isn't very matte, however; it does reduce fine lines and also hydrates your skin.
The website says that this moisturizer has vitamins C and E that act as a protection from gunk and grime. Even more ew. It also has an SPF of 20 which is great too! I also have very sensitive skin so this is a great alternative for people who react differently to certain products. I think especially during these months leading up to summer, it's important to wear SPF (even just all year round because the sun never hides!).
I have had trouble in the past trying to find a great moisturizer that didn't just fall off my face during the day or not cover up any of my imperfections and this one really worked. I know the price point for some is a bit expensive but, a little goes a very long way. May I even suggest the travel-size foundation shown above. I have been using this foundation for over a month now and there's still a ton left. The only downside of the travel-size is that there are only like two shades to choose from. The original size has about 15 shades.
I hope I can try out more of Laura Mercier in the future like her powders and other face products. Is there a specific one I need to try out? Happy Friday all!
Xoxo, Nat
"I created this product because I wanted to give skin a fresh, healthy, no-makeup look with a soft hint of color that evens and enhances without hiding the skin."—Laura Mercier

Mistress Maeva walks her slave and orders him to smell its old tennis shoes like its socks and feet all in sweat and very odorous. She puts Scotch tape on the mouth of the slave and rubs his feet and shoes all over his face to make him feel the divine aroma of its feet. She uses also the mouth of the slave like a ashtray not to pollute nature.
