Vuxendagis – Adult Kindergarten

A great thing to offer a girl when she’s feeling gloomy is taking her to a great shopping center. Going into every single store and let her buy – or even just window shopping. I don’t mean it is exactly the best thing in world but it is quite close to be so.

This is an activity to be done mostly by BF’Fs that would love “shop walking” the friend. Sometimes the best friend isn’t available. Sometimes their guys would offer the companionship. Sadly there are a few who would enjoy the deed as it has to be done.

Today’s stiod stands on my conception of a term Husband use to utter sometimes: vuxendagis – that in fact means “adult kindergarten – in the context he uses. A place where people can have fun and looked after. The Adult Kindergarten or the Fun Store is to be a store in a shopping center. It uses the concept of kid’s care  center in shopping malls where you can leave you kids playing under the supervision of a monitor while you go shopping.

Your guy follows you quite gladly. You go together into the first store. He is a bit interested and gets bored the very first 20 minutes. You smile at him, give him the first shopping bag you’ve already acquired and tell him – I meet you at the Fun store, dear. After hours roaming (LOL) from store to store, you then find your guy flying a car simulation game. Isn’t

he a flight freak, what about car slot table etc. He looks at you with that sweet begging face: won’t you like going a round more. Take my credit card, dear…

The Adult Kindergarten will offer your grown up boy amusement options such as:

• Slot car table

• Comics library
• Beer tasting sessions
• Flight simulator
• Model railroad
• Plastic Models assembling corner – they gotta buy new models or just bring their own.
• Kite simulation program
• Video game machines
• Table games

… and the most important of all

• The match of the day – perhaps it will be needed to make a schedule and show either ice hockey or football (soccer as well as American) games.

Nail Polish with inbuilt brush

I don’t know what science is behind the shape and format of nail polish brushes. As far as I know, they have all the same type of brush: long and soft ones. I am pretty eclectic in buying this beauty item and have from the cheap Modha I have in my nails today to expensive Prada ones going through middle price/quality Natura and Avon. All of them have the same kind of brush.

All of them drive me crazy because the brush is longer than my nails. With more liquid than I need to have. When they drip in the way from the little bottle to my nail. I thought if things wouldn’t become cleaner if I got a smaller brush, that was directly connected to the liquid: such as some gloss, blush, base already use?

I bet it will become much more lithesome to paint nails by oneself  if the person is not a professional or skilled user of nail polish. Today I tried using the less of the brush and I managed making less mess than I use to do. That tells me a bit that my mess is often due to the gawky brush my nail polishes have.

My only ambition is having beautiful nails, painted in a short while and with more precision. I do believe nail polishes with smaller inbuilt brushes is the solution to our amateur skills.

Hair Make Up. Or hiding gray hair with mascara

I have to assume that this is not my idea but my little sister’s. I am experiencing this growing of some gray hair. A friend of mine insists in coloring the newbies with color pen, so to make me know I should have my hair dyed. Nonetheless it feels a bit early to go dying the whole head because of a couple of undesired uncolored threads. Usually when I am home by myself, I do not care about them.

I do care a bit when I dress my hair up and in the middle of the forehead the new hair color shines among the other black one. My sister advised me using a little of eyelash mascara to cover the grayish hair when I am concerned about it.

The stiod is just fantastic. You do not need to harm the whole hair with coloring, discoloring etc. It works also well to those who have already dared to dye the hair and have the bottom of its growing gray. I now thought of acquiring other colors of mascara and styling a bit with some dark blue or dark green highlight where the hair is lighter than I would like them to be.

You would agree that the mascara might stain sheets and the likes. I don’t see problem since 1)  when I dress up with hairspray, gel etc. I use to wash my hair before going to bed so not damaging my curls. 2) using long lasting water proof mascara is also a solution for those events you will sure come home late and have no will to wash you hair. 😀

Thanks Sis…

Stiod Sharing: Foldable High Heels

Have you heard of Marte den Hollander? No problem if not, I did not either until I thought I had an Stiod and went researching.

I kind of feel some stiod are mostly a wish. But however. This designer created these shoes with heels that can be folded into comfortable flats. It  just makes my wish/stiod true and I am pretty happy and hopeful I’ll see these versatile shoes on the stores.

Soon we will be able to rock and roll all night in high heels and rest in our way home, with a cute and comfortable pair of flats.

Useful welcome gifts – souvenirs

That is common in many kinds of celebration people give a welcome gift to those who are present. Wedding parties, Babies birth, birthday parties — even in funerals you might get some memento/ souvenir as a welcome gift.

These things can be cute, kitsch, fancy…  But save the sweet and edible ones, they are all but useful. From this blog entry, I figured out one that can be fancy and useful welcome (cheap) gift.

A clothespin with good taste patterns, some nice message and/or the name of your baby. If you put a magnet behind it, people can use to metal boards or on the fridge’s door so to hold notes, memos, recipes etc. Or even your babies pictures when they come to his/her one year-old party!

Thanks for the insight, O Jeito Brasileiro
