Yesterday, I did the unthinkable. I went out without my earrings on. For me, that is akin to going out naked. And, in particular, as I like dangling earrings. They jingle. They swing with the beat of my steps. They make me feel whole. I know that must […]
I often, jokingly, note how perfect my skin is. Well, not jokingly. Rather mischievous humilty. My skin is rather perfect. I stayed away from makeup and chemicals while younger. I had seen the facial wreckage from years of makeup use. I did not want that. Hence, fairly smooth […]
