My mother almost never wears make-up, so she relies on me to do her make-up for her, but since I don't have her skin (not yet, anyway, but at least this reminds me to slather on the sunscreen; my mother barely wore sunscreen in her younger years and now the repercussions are all catching up with her), I am clueless as to how to workVictoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328210665966835173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-45116525013699002192012-08-17T19:36:40.962-04:002012-08-17T19:36:40.962-04:00Hi Charlestongirl; Hi Kate,

I missed all my sisters-in-beauty :-) Vacation was great--a few days in Paris, a week visiting family in Brittany, and two weeks in London taking in some of the Olympics with friends.
