When Beauty is A Treatment!!!
Ladies, let's have fun with this one!! This week, the topic is beauty, and no matter how much we would like to admit that it doesn't affect us...let's face it...it definitely does (and we LIKE it!!) I know that I like to "beautify" myself...as well as anyone else around who will let me "beautify" them...can we say "make-overs" anyone? Poor Mackinzie, at the age of 1 she is stuck tolerating me and my beutifications. Each morning, I have to put her piggy-tails perfectly in place and accessorize them with the exact shade of "oh-so-pink" bows to match her equally adorable outfit. And if her curls are not as curly as I like, I even give them a extra spring before she leaves the house! No, we aren't Toddlers and Tiaras...yet...but that's why I have you girls to keep me in line!!! If I bring Mackinzie to Bible Study with a tiara on her head, blue eyeshadow, fake eyelashes, spray tan, and a purple feather boa, that's when you may need to pull me aside for a "come to Jesus"!
So...here's our question for the week:
The Hebrew term translated "beauty treatments" in Esther 2:3 means "cosmetics, beauty treatments , precious ointments, soaps for bathing." If you're home right now, go into your bathroom, look in the cabinets, and make a list of as many items as as you can find that fall under these categories.
Have fun!!!

Shampoos...
Biologe shampoo/conditioner, Aussie clean and mend, Aveeno Nourish and shine shampoo and conditioner, Tea tree oil shampoo
Curl spray, curl cream, 2 kinds of lotion, 2 kinds of foot lotion
And that's not even mentioning the junk drawer with all manner of randomness...
Jeff said that he felt left out and wanted to participate! So...here's his list:
1. Toothbrush
2. Deo
3. Razor
4. 2 bottles of cologne...which he says the only reason for having 2 is because I bought both bottle for him
I have a lot more than I actually use. It's time to clean out at my house too. I start with Biolage shampoo, oil of olay soap or bath & body works shower gel, mary kay(MK) 3 in 1 cleanser, & MK shower/shave gel.
Then on to MK moisturizer, foundation, powder (2 kinds), blush (2), eyeshadow (2sets), liner, MK hand scrub/lotion.
Then hair, root boost, mousse, 2 kinds of hairspray, (one for very flat days and one for not so flat days). There's also various gels, sprays, slickers, etc. under the sink that I forget I have. There's also formula 719 to tame the frizzies.
The the under the counter stuff that I never seem to have time to use, lotions, bubble bath, foot scrub, nail polish/remover, and the list goes on and on...
This time of year I invest in a varitey of fragrant and moisturizing lotions, from the basic (Lubriderm) to the luxurious (Obsession). We also have a menagerie of soaps and shampoos, conditioners and creams. And I have a bag of cosmetics: concealer, foundation, powder, mascara, several swatches of eyeshadow, lipsticks, and blush. It's a job to keep the bathroom counter organized! We girls may have a corner on the market, but even my husband Wally is finicky about his shaving gel and cologne!
