Undereye Puffies And Bags

I was definitely unhappy with my baggy, tired eyes and did some product research. I found these cruelty-free products for me and for you, pigeons! First thing, clean face! I apply my serum and moisturizer and used a new eye cream. I heard that caffeine was an effective de-puffing active ingredient. While my skin care products settle in, I drink coffee and get dressed. Then, to ze make-up! After applying my foundation and blending, I apply concealer in dots. This is a very thick and creamy formula so use a light touch! I blended with a small brush and Beauty Blender. As the concealer settles in and dries, I apply blush and lipstick/gloss. I do my eyebrows. Then, using a small blush brush I PRESS setting powder into my undereye area. Because the eye cream and concealer have dried and the powder is very fine-milled, the powder does not settle into creases. Miracle. When you’re done with your eyeshadow, whisk the undereye powder away with a small fan-shaped or an angled brush. Fina...

Ordinations And Installations

‘Tis a shame that there is no comprehensive, authoritative resource for the planning of ordination and installation services in the Free Church, which leaves each minister and their congregation flailing a bit in the planning of the liturgy. These services are extremely important in marking the moment at the culmination of ministerial formation or search and call process by which a layperson becomes a minister, and a minister becomes the settled minister of a congregation. It is a fairly simple matter to call upon one’s colleagues to find out “what they did” and to pass down the theological and ecclesiastical import of each element of the liturgy: eg, the Act of Installation, the Charge to the Minister, the Right Hand of Fellowship. I know that the Unitarian Universalist Association Department of Ministry has a file with orders of service from these ceremonies, and I assume that this may also be true of other denominational headquarters. Given that such resources for planning of ord...

Optics

Wow, wow, wow. What a time. Like you, I have been immersed in national news and spending considerable time as a keyboard warrior. I am fortunate to have the month of August off, and I took it OFF. I am taking it off. It is not over for another seven days and I am pulling myself back from rising panic. I needed this time to rest and heal, to reflect and get in touch with how I am doing body, mind and soul. I found a local therapist after four years of searching. I met twice with a nutritionist and started tracking my food a month ago, pulling out of a bad streak of compulsive overeating. I have exercised daily and loved it. I have read a lot and soaked that in like thirsty soul after a drought. I have paid close attention to how much I can fairly accomplish in a day and how much mental and spiritual and emotional energy it takes to accomplish the things that ministry requires. I have been surprised by the results, but it’s necessary that I know those things. I have spent a good...
