What I'm Reading This Week #14
Annnnd we're revving into Friday. source I must start with a teary goodbye to Val Kilmer. No lie, three days before he passed I got the song " How Silly Can You Get " from the movie Top Secret in my head out of nowhere. I hadn't seen a reference, heard anything about him and definitely hadn't heard that song in 20+ years. I said to the Mr "I wonder how Val is doing?" then I soon got my answer. I remember seeing Top Secret at the drive in with Mom when it came out. When Real Genius came out on HBO, it was one of the few movies my Dad and I bonded over, is in my top five movies of all time and is the Mr and I's love language after I make him king of the winter carnival. source Anyone who followed Val's career and personal life over the decades knows he got a little out of the box and didn't settle for norms which also included his approach to his throat cancer.

I never would have thought of this. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, it left my face feeling totally hydrated, soft and FIRM! Not something my regular stuff leaves me with (firm wise).
ReplyDeleteYou can also crush up some almonds (or use almond meal) or pulse some rolled oats to mix it in and use it as an exfoliator! Yummy!...err...I mean yahoo!
Wow what an awesome idea! It would be hard to not want to eat that mix though. :)
ReplyDeleteHi, I just found your blog via your comment on Beth's site. It's great, I've bookmarked and will be back often!!! Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteBeth- Definitely! I just got my lunch and saw that and thought "ooh, that looks good!"
ReplyDeleteRoz- Nice to see you! Welcome!
Ahh! You put it on your face? Lol! Freaky!
ReplyDeleteI know! But don't knock it til ya try it! I think I'm going to use it before I go out with others because it made my face feel so firm and lifted. Who knew!? :)
ReplyDeleteWho knew??? How do you come up with all this stuff?? That is really cool. Will have to remember this when I have some left over pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could take credit for it but I either saw it on TV or read it in a magazine about a year ago. I wanted to remember it for when I had a wee bit o' pumpkin left and finally had enough to use it!
ReplyDeleteYou make me smile and my family will thank you that they no longer have to eat pie with my face imprint in it! Whooo...just in the nick of time!
