Hmmm
Thursday, August 21, 2008
Thinking about my frugal book project. My husband unearthed some of my old budget columns from the newspaper I used to write for - I have to read them and get inspired. There is also my manuscript for my frugal book of years ago - maybe that's around somewhere, too.
Racking up the freebies at all the sites and enjoying my free games at winster.com - I like slot social.
Found out how much my appearance is improved by penciling in my blonde eyebrows. My husband always comments on how pretty I look when I do! The new wax eye brow pencils are great & mine came from the 99 Cent store, too!
Enjoying old flicks during Turner Classic Movies' month of stars - old Barbara Stanwyck movies - and Edward G. Robinson! Boy they churned them out in the 50's - good, too. Reminds me of my NYC area childhood most pleasantly, even if the flicks are ganster ones!
Oh - thrifty tip - successfully repainted an aging plastic barrette with semi-congealed silver nail polish while watching the old movies - actually did two. The thickened polish created a very nice silver surface and the two barrettes are now restored to action! (I am wearing my hair up a lot in the summer heat and the barrettes are continually missing in action!) Also works for eyeglass frames/sunglass frames, costume jewelry and you could try it on plastic headbands/other hair accessories, too.
The Tippi Hedren updo is apparently coming back in style and I watched a how-to video on a fashion site. But I hate to tease my hair! Will try it sometime, tho - in the meantime I have half of it, held up by my barrettes and no hair spray necessary.
