Lady Bird’s legacy
I
officially get why artists want to paint bluebonnets. The Lady Bird Johnson
Wildflower Center has made me even more Texas proud, if that is possible. Maybe
climbing the tower for a panoramic view was my favorite, or coming across
exercise equipment in an open field of flowers, or noting how the visitors
center had just-picked fresh flowers so you’d know just what you were
observing.
The
gift shop is cool, too, and would you believe that way down Austin way, I heard
my name called and there was a woman from Orange.
Summer
health and beauty
Hope
you’re absorbing everything from road trip adventures to the proper amount of
fun-in-the sun, with sunscreen, of course. Here’s some summer health and beauty
finds to enhance your indulgence time:
* Wet Brush: Just holding
the smooth bamboo and evergreen wood of Wet Brush Earth feels calming. It’s
personal time. I could bond with it. A hairbrush is an everyday tool many don’t
consider replacing. Inspect yours for age, sanitation and durability. Use Wet
Brush in the shower. It’s also good for dry brushing of you and wigs and extensions. Proceeds
go toward Charity: Water – an organization that brings clean drinking water to
communities in developing countries.
What
a brush and what a cause, but wait, there’s more. Wet Brush USA lets you detangle for the Stars and Stripes.
That’s in the press materials, I didn’t make that up. This plastic brush with
patriotic markings also has bristles of ease and 20 percent of sales support
Wounded Warrior Project. Time to replace your brushes? Take a look at these
options.

Rootology sent me samples of Breathe Free, fast-acting, non-drowsy nasal and
sinus relief to help with congestion, sinus pressure, sneezing, runny nose and
itchy eyes. Rootology makers say they offer a relatively new product, a blend
of 13 powerful herbal extracts that are gaining traction within the yoga and
fitness communities. Aside from cinnamon twig (for unblocking phlegm in the
chest and Magnolia Flower, for 0pening nasal passages and relieving
headaches, many of the 13 extracts
are new to me, such as ledebouriella root, for itchy nose and eyes. They come
in capsules. When you can breathe again, get moving.

Whish has added an ULTA exclusive Blue Agave variety and they’ve done a great
job with Three Whishes Sugar Scrub, featuring raspberry seed and organic bamboo
powder. Well, that’s new. There’s more good stuff in the brown sugar mix you
can’t wait to rub in. A body oil with olive leaf extract and jojoba seed oil
feels so good on skin that had a tad too much sun. The bottle pumps out
soothing moisture. Ever tried Whish Shave Savour Hair Inhibiting Gel? Less
Fuzz, Smoother Skin is what they promise. It’s designed for that after sun or
after shave and after wax hydration. Organic shea butter is one of the stars,
but chapparel extract is what inhibits hair growth. What will they think of
next?
