Hmmm, in this edition of Wednesday Wisdom with Steph I think she has given Hicktown a new name…
I’m sure that if you are a true blue reader of my aunt’s blog (which I’m sure all of you are… ), you have heard plenty of stories of how redneck and southern our little small town of Chatsvegas is. Today I was at the hardware store with my dad. Patiently waiting of course… I was casually looking here and there and around the parking lot while sitting in the truck. No one was around but there were plenty of cars. It was one of those awkward moments where you think you might catch someone doing something extremely embarrassing but instead you start wondering if someone is watching YOU. Anywho, i glanced over and I see this really old ugly beat up rusty van. I call it a redneck van. To those of you who don’t understand how it can be both redneck let me explain. Murray County is full of rednecks. No joke ask anyone around here. It is the capital city of rednecks. So on the side of this van it has markings to which you would know as car paint. On the windows it is talking about how the owner of this redneck van sells Avon. you know…the makeup. Ok ok. Weird that someone selling Avon is driving that because you would think they would take a little pride in how they look. I don’t know. That’s just my opinion. So what is so amusing about this van?? Wellll…..its Chatsworth and we are known for being dumb. Even though some are not…alot are. LOL On this window these are the exact words. ” Saleing Avon” and then the phone number is right under it. Who taught this person to spell!? I thought that was a common word that everyone and their dog knew how to spell. Helloooooo. Typical Murray Co. education for you I guess. Let’s just help out our reputation a little. Thats a great idea!! haha. Oh yea. And not only is it on there once but its on the van multiple times in multiple locations. The woman walks out of the store, gets in the van, and drives away. She is wearing holey sweatpants, a ginormous t-shirt, and has nappy hair and NO MAKEUP on. I don’t know about you guys but I would definitely not buy Avon out of that van or from that woman. LOL My boyfriend told me I should’ve left a note with the correct grammar but by that time she was already driving off into the distance. Goodbye my dear illiterate redneck friend. Goodbye!! And my wonderful aunt said to take a picture but once again, it was too late. Poo. So lesson of the day, do NOT write on your car unless you know the correct spelling. 
TaTa….See you next week!

My daughter and my niece, both being college kids, are very aware of their appearance. They are both constantly concerned over things like is their make-up too heavy, the condition of their skin, is it the right shade, etc. Neither of them like to look too made up but they want even coverage that makes them look natural and healthy.
Bare Minerals meets their expectations and then some.
As you can see, my niece is a little comedian. She does however love Bare Minerals and the quality and selection of their products.

Did you know that women consume an average of 6 pounds of lipstick in their lifetime and that 60% of lipsticks contain lead? Yeah, me either. It is kinda scary. Lavera, which means truth says : Our commitment to you, our customer, is to provide the purest and best performing certified natural personal care products possible, with the health and safety of you & your family in mind.
They are a company committed to providing products that are safe for you and your skin. Products that contain natural ingredients. Products that are good for you and the environment. Heck, you can even send in your old lipstick, that probably contains lead and they will match it with one of their products.
Lavera was the first manufacturer to provide 100% mineral based Sun protection. They received the “Innovation Prize of the Year” award in Europe at the Biofach – the largest natural product expo worldwide – several years in a row. Their SPF 15 Lip Balm, Family Sun Spray SPF 15 and Kids Sun Block Spray SPF 25 are just a few of the winners. I have been using the Lavera Anti-Aging Sun Milk for the last week and I really like it. I love the way it smells, the way it feels and the way that it protects. It is smooth, it doesn’t sting your face like other sun protection products. And, the fact that I am 39 and am trying to be very aware of what I put on my face and how I protect it makes me love it even more.
I have also been using their organic translucent lip gloss. Lavera Organic Mineral Lip Gloss offers the wholesome purity & glow of organic extracts. Emollient and non-sticky oils of Vitamin E & Jojoba are repairing moisturizers. Crushed Natural Minerals add shimmer & an anti-aging Sun protection. Natural Berry aromas make this pure & luscious lip treatment a must have in your cosmetic bag. This is probably my most favorite product in my bag at the moment. I LOVE this stuff. Shimmery, feels good, tastes great on my lips, anti-aging. You just can’t get better than that. I did gasp however when I saw the sticker price. $16.00 for lip gloss was a little of a shock, but I do love it.
Lavera Volume Mascara with Advanced Shaping Brush adds lasting volume & length to lashes for beautiful, bright eyes! Nourishing extracts of Organic Jojoba & Wild Rose Oils deeply hydrate allowing flake-free volume throughout the whole day. This pure, paraben-free and heavy-metal-free formula rinses off with a mild cleanser and is ideal even for very sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. To me, mascara is mascara. I know how they all claim to do this or that, but I haven’t seen much difference in how they work other than that some irritate my eyes more than others. Lavera’s mascara is great for people with sensitive eyes just as all of their products are great for people with sensitive skin.
Lavera, which means “the truth” and represents the philosophy and commitment to the purest organic ingredients and the absence of synthetic preservatives, additives, petroleum-based ingredients, emulsifiers, colors and fragrances. In order to assure skin tolerance, dermatological tests are done on volunteers with sensitive skin, no animal testing is performed. Great Company, Great Products!
