Hello Fellow Travelers!
There are few things I look forward to these days, mostly I push myself a little further and a little harder every day, at the gym. I know it sounds boring, it is. That's the life of a brain cancer patient; boring and hard. I have taken the time to really learn the game of Baseball, listen to my child and appreciate my spouse. I thoroughly scrutinize any mail that comes my way. One piece of mail I look forward to receiving is the monthly issue of InStyle, it's full of pretty things; pretty clothes, pretty accessories, pretty rooms, pretty food. And, if you are style-challenged, like me, they lay out the outfits page after page with prices, websites and all the accessories. I have my mom to thank for a wide variety of publications I receive every week/month. This was a really good thing because when you first come out of brain surgery (and I wasn't warned about this either) you're partially blind and what you do see, floats in space so it's nearly impossible to focus on or read anything. This subsided after awhile and I'm back to reading books but I still thoroughly enjoy my monthly InStyle. It's just so lovely!
One aspect of this monthly stylish bounty is that there are easy to follow directions and step by step instructions on every trend covered, broken down into age groups 20's/30's/40's. After the 30's, the instructions on what to purchase/use become a little murky. The directives for beauty if you were born before 1970, are non-existent. At the most advanced age group they recommend heavy machinery and grout for skin treatment. Maybe we're not supposed to read it.
I take issue with the lack of information, or style directions offered to anyone born before 1970. There must be lots of ladies who are fashion-crippled, like myself, born before 1970, like myself, and have money to burn, not like myself. What are we supposed to read? Not all (or any) of the women I know have stylists; we need those instructions! Spackle and a Dremel Tool! Bring it on! But I need directions!
