Recommendation for Ext. Paint Color - Cream
Comments (23)Hi JG - we're getting ready to paint our house this spring too, and I've been pretty much paralyzed by color choices. IÂve made color mistakes before, and the exterior of my house is a pretty big deal. We have a gray-brown roof too, ours is steel (newly installed last fall). ItÂs supposed to be charcoal gray  and the little piece IÂve been carrying around in my purse does look gray  but on my house, I think it looks brown. Hubby says itÂs because the house is currently painted a (unflattering) brownish color, my eye is picking that up when I look at the roof. IÂm starting to think IÂm colorblind or crazy. Anyway, IÂm finally ready to buy my first sample color. ItÂs BM Revere Pewter HC-172. WeÂre thinking of a blue for the trim. ThatÂs hubbyÂs pick, and IÂd be okay with it. You house is really sweet, and I think could carry any of those colors. I really like the green. Louisburg Green is a very nice color. My boss painted her bedroom this color and raves about it. IÂve actually got the color chip right here in front of me  green is an option weÂre considering too. Like you, weÂre already surrounded by lots of trees and other greenery, so I was afraid a green house would get "lost". Good luck with your quest - I hope youÂll show "after" photos!...See MoreFace cream recommendation
Comments (26)I hesitate to recommend anything because I admit to being biased and reluctant to change anything about my routine that has worked for me. I do think if you are having very dry skin issues you need to look at more than just moisturizer. Start with basic hydration (are you getting enough water intake, for example, and watch the caffeine, sugar-based drinks). Next look at whatever you are cleaning your face with and make sure it isn't drying. Then look at your moisture regime. Most of us, as we age, need to change up whatever has worked for us in the past. I layer, first using a fruit-acid exfoliant, then a Vitamin-C & E antioxidant serum, and then Bobbi Brown's Vitamin Enriched Face Base (day) or Bobbi's Hydrating Intense Night Cream (night). If my face gets really dry I use Bobbi's Extra Repair Moisturizing Balm (I sometimes put some of this on before I go outside to run in the winter). It's not cheap, but I get compliments on my skin all the time. And most of these products last a long time because it doesn't take much. Make sure your makeup isn't giving you a dry look too....See MoreRecommend a under eye concealer?
Comments (14)Boing eye concealer by benefit works well for me. The right shade is really important, IME. Too light makes things worse. I find a bit darker than my foundation is better than too light. http://www.sephora.com/boi-ing-indistrial-strength-full-coverage-concealer-P1273?skuId=1073980&om_mmc=ppc-GG_194585799_15762231519_pla-83842464039_1073980_50233217079_9029606_t&country_switch=us&lang=en&gclid=CIqMsLz3ydQCFYFqfgodzyILFw&gclsrc=aw.ds...See MoreEye cream for sensitive skin?
Comments (11)Almost forgot...I also have liked Vanicream products which I’ve been using this winter at night, after hearing about how they can repair your skin's lipid barrier. That may be another good one to try, and it’s downright cheap at $11/16 ounces compared to lots of other face creams. I buy it at Target. I like that it has no scent or parabens. I use it on my face and eyes at night. When we have less dry weather and aren’t running the heat all the time, I probably will switch to something lighter at night. i also just switched this week from using a commercial face wash to goat's milk and oatmeal soap. It feels better on my face than standard face wash, so that may be something else to check out....See More
