I take 200 mg of magnesium every night. Wonder if its too much or not enough???

I'm supposed to be taking at least 500 mg per day.

I see Richard again...okay cultesses...who let Richard escape?!

Uggg, I haven't seen the bottom of my spare room closet in YEARS! I MUST clean it in the next week though...appraiser coming out... YIKES!!

I am in love with my order.

So, today I'm wearing the free gift Sunlight Finishing Dust as a primer all over my face and eyes. Very nice, I like this.

Used my usual Sunlight concealor on my dark circles and spots.

Then Golden-Light foundation. I guess the guy in the book knew what he was talking about cuz this looks dang good on me, lol. I might be ordering a full container of this one.

On my eyes...HOT CHOCOLATE...very good base color. It's a good neutral light color.

Then I put on GINGER PEACH Love at first glitter! LOVE THIS. Very light peach!

Then I put on SAMBA LESSONS. Great eyeliner with a touch of sparkle!

Last, but not least Floating Feathers as a highlighter.

When I have more time to play (woke up LATE) I'll try this as a highlighter on other parts of my face, but for today just at the brow bone.

Cheeks: WAFFLE CONE :wub: Very nice soft peachy color...now that I'm at work and have gone in to check myself out in the mirrors I wish I had put more of it on.

I followed all that up with a little of my Natural Reflections finishing powder and some peachy shimmery lip gloss that I have.

I think I need a spreadsheet.

Also, does anybody own a full-sized foundation?

Not yet, but just by judging how long the tiny little samples last, I'm thinking the full sized container would last a while...from the pictures I've seen of the full sized foundations, they are huge. But, yeah, if it were me, I'd order 3 anyway.

Heres my current lineup: Any input on the blushes for medium skin would be great!

Jump Rope (blush)--haven't tried this one yet...it just came yesterday, so probably will try it within a day or two...looks really nice in the jar

Best Friends (blush)--same comment as for Jump Rope, lol

Weekend Getaway--this was the first blush I ordered and I liked it...it's a slightly darker peach, but it didn't turn orange on me--think I need to try this again (I have TOOOO many blushes )

Mango!!!

Well, what are you waiting for?

Beautiful new picture

Thanks! Got sidetracked by the whole phart/dating thing.

I have seriously NOT wanted anything to do with dating for forever... Something must be wrong with me...oh wait, maybe it's the off-gassing thing.

I've decided to do something wild and crazy and order the peach lip gloss... :lol:

Well, I've ordered all the pinks I THOUGHT would look good on me, and that didn't quite work, so I'm going to order the ones I think will look horrid and see what happens.

By-the-way...just looking at the jars in my order....I think I'm in love with Ginger Peach! Who knew!?

(_{yeah, ok, like reading about people making spreadsheets about the frequency and quality of their farts. You know what I mean}.)

Hum, I don't have a spreadsheet for this yet!

Does anyone get air hunger during detox baths?

Sort of...it's kind of rolled up into the whole I-can't-breathe-feel weak and nauseated thing when I stay in too long. It doesn't happen every time though.

So I forgot to update you all over the semi good news!!!

Very good news!!!

These.......off gasses.......now let's clarify. Are these not so much PRIMARY types of farts as more......ancillary? Just the wee extra ones that leak out, but can't really be counted?

Nope, pretty purposeful....soooooo I guess that makes them PRIMARY, very, very noxiously primary!

What does IND mean?

It means "indeterminate", which basically just means they saw something there, but weren't comfortable calling it a positive--it also doesn't mean it's a negative either--there IS something there.

Welcome Jayhawk!

<just had a zipper fart - which brings my three-day total to about - not kidding - six? seven?>

Still can't count 'em....still off-gassing apparently.

Aw sheesh, I missed the rock chick, lol!!! I actually didn't watch anything except the very first guy...the one they made turn around to sing.

Just had a good look. I am clearly seeing the face of Michael Jackson. This is sick....Michael Jackson on me arse!! What can it mean?....

Hey post it...Michael might see something on your arse that looks better than his face and do more plastic surgery!

DONNA!!! I was all flustered this morning, in a disarray, when I couldn't find your usual "crack of dawn post" in our cult makeup thread....for an hour or so until you showed up and posted all was not right with the world

Yeah, stupid work! They actually made me work, and before that I was busy trying to get my refinance paperwork done and copied so I can overnight it back. Stupid non-fun stuff!

You always make a spreadsheet!

I can forward a few.

Donna, you'll have to let us know about the free sample concealers.

Definitely!

yeah. I want some that can conceal my unwashed dishes and the minus signs in my bank account.

Yeah, nothing I've found so far conceals any of that, nor the 2 years of dust on any piece of furniture in my condo, nor the pile of who-knows-what-all-is-in-there that's been on my spare bed for at least a year.

Did mention that when I went on vacation in October, I had a much easier time because my suitcase was STILL on the bed from the last vacation I took the YEAR before. Yeah, I work overtime trying to find appropriate concealors.

So, now I'm frantically trying to stuff junk into whatever space I can find because I will be having an appraiser coming out within the next couple of weeks.

Phew, feels good to confess!

Are you still going to try to go in and get checked out?

Yes, but I think it can wait until my annual exam in April. The pain seems to have improved without caffeine, so I am hopeful I can wait it out. If it gets bad again even though I'm off caffeine/coffee, then I'll make an appointment right away.

MY ORDER CAME!!!! I wasn't expecting it until tomorrow! I've hardly had time to look at it, but from what I've seen so far, I'm going to LOVE this batch of colors! I'm also trying some of the foundations in the Golden category...according to one of the books I've been reading, because of my ethnicity/racial makeup, I am "warm", lol. I always thought I was cool, so I'm going to try these and see what happens.

I mixed Olive Light with Fair Medium today and it's almost the perfect color...I put a brush load of minerals on my face and it hardly showed, lol.

The free samples that came with the "special" look interesting: Ivory, new Sunlight Finishing Dust and Bisque Color Corrector.

So, I don't know if I've tried this before or not...it wasn't on my spreadsheet, lol...I tried Favorite Hoodie (a blush) as an eyeshadow, and like that very much that way. I used Dark Brown brow color for a liner (and again used the lip brush as an eyeliner brush--love it).

AbiJ,

Hello and welcome and thanks for your review! I guess that's why there are so many mineral companies...something for everyone. I have to agree about BE...made my face break out and itch.

Well, I waited until 5:20pm yesterday for my order, but I finally had to leave.

Aw, sorry it didn't come in time!

I'm not sure we should be voting multiple times... Seems a tad skewed...

Yeah, It's great for them to see there's an interest in it, but it won't do much good if they won't keep publishing it because not enough people buy it.

I had terrible TMJ problems...the pain was so bad that all I could do was just sit there and cry. Oddly the pain went away when I had my amalgams taken out. It's been a year now and I haven't had more than a mild aching since then. My jaw also doesn't "click" anymore when I open my mouth. I used to click all the time.

Julie,

It seems to be better this week, although I tried to do a stretch on my fitness ball yesterday and it did hurt...had to reposition myself. I haven't had as much of that breath-stealing searing pain.

I'm very sad to think it might be coffee but happy that it's probably NOT cancer.

I'm going to try one more experiment...I'm going to try a little decaf for a week or two and see if it's the caffeine or coffee in general. I have to say that coffee in general tested badly for me in BioSET, but I've supposedly been desensitized to it, lol. Caffeine also tested badly I believe. Well, most things tested badly.

Some of you probably peruse the "natura" threads at EM more than I do (and someone probably already posted this, lol), but I found this buried in one thread...it's about how likely oils are to be comedogenic(sp?):

Can't get much more gluten-free than pure oil, lol.

Yeah, read something about the possibility of being allergic to silk, lol:
