Phoenicia
downtown
How
much fun would it be to get off of work in downtown Houston and walk over to an
international shopping experience, a ready-made gourmet dinner and perhaps some
vino and music?
Months
ago I shared my love of Phoenicia Specialty Foods on Westheimer Road in
Houston. It’s a sprawling warehouse of fun from bread that comes from above –
on conveyor belts – to coffees, jams, canned fish and anything else you’d want
from around the world. I found the downtown market, and a great paring space,
and had a quick bite for my first ever Astros game.
There
was plenty to choose from, but in the essence of time, my husband and I chose a
roasted chicken, olives stuffed with cheese and flatbread with feta. We just found a seat and tore into that
chicken, while watching fascinating people through the window as they headed
home or ventured in to dine with us.
Hair
clay
If
vegan clay in your hair sounds good for your pixie or pompadour, think about my
poor curls. Wait, NEUMA’s
neuStyling Texturizer and
Clay is working for me, too.
They actually had me a promise of “textured, frizz-free finish with volume,
shine and movement.” Natural
ingredients certainly can do the job. My curls are more manageable and soft. The
texturizer (with sunflower seed
oil, aloe, apricot oil, horseradish and burdock) issues from a beautiful pump
bottle and the clay is in a plastic jar. Both have a floral medallion logo and
tout a “beautiful, sustainable” product. I like it a lot.
More good summer
looks
It’s what you’ve been
looking for if you’re just about any age woman with facial emergences you
shouldn’t have to deal with. Here’s something that covers with a bit of color
and acts as a make that fights acne as you wear it. with multi-tasking makeup that
fights acne while you wear it. Hydroxatone’s Anti-Acne CC Cream contains
salicylic acid to clear and prevent breakouts, controls excess oil, moisturizes
and visibly reduces redness. It feels so good and works just right for me.
Purge,
baby: This next
stuff went on soft, stayed on 10 minutes and left my face the softest that I
can recall. Makers say the purging Bioelements Kerafole mask smoothes,
hydrates and reveals fresh, radiant skin. If I do say so myself, the citric
malic acids, ginkgo biloba, kelp, chamomile, orange clove and tea tree, lemon
and lavender oil are said to do this: calm, tone and revitalize, while ridding
the skin of impurities and reducing pore size. Sometimes, you’ve just got to
treat yourself. It can change your attitude.
Sunny days: I’ve been walking around with
my hand over my neck because the sun can damage a little bit at a time.
Bioelements RayDefense protects without some artificial and synthetics products you
don’t want and shields against damaging UVA and UVB rays that can cause aging
lines and wrinkles. I’ve been applying this high quality sunscreen/moisturizer before
daily walks. We Southeast Texans have got to have our time in the sun.
