Can the average woman go completely, utterly makeup free? Writer Sarah Murray was up for the challenge.
At the end of last year, Kim Kardashian West showed up to a Balenciaga show at Paris Fashion Week wearing an off-the-shoulder trench coat with waist-length hair and not a stitch of makeup. We're not talking a dab of concealer here and there, or the 'no makeup makeup' look of 2015. No, we're talking absolutely nothing except, perhaps, some moisturiser.
Needless to say, it caused a stir. But Kim isn't alone. Singer Alicia Keys has recently ditched the warpaint too, claiming her decision makes her feel "the strongest, most empowered, most free and most honestly beautiful that I have ever felt". Locally, fashion blogger and influencer Jamie Ridge is known to go about her day without makeup, citing a lack of time as the reason she chooses a fresh face.
We know Kim et al. are not only genetically blessed but also have the best dermatologists and skin specialists on speed dial. Still, it made us wonder: how realistic is it for the average woman to go makeup free? I put my hand up to find out.
Giving it up
Having been a beauty editor for almost a decade, makeup and I go hand and hand, and the only place I go with a fresh face is a pre-dawn spin class. I love playing with makeup and testing it out, and enjoy the ritual of applying it to my face. For the longest time I've dedicated about 20 minutes every morning to my cosmetics regime. Along with a swipe of eyeshadow, I use foundation to cover hyperpigmentation, highlighter to give the illusion of a glow, brow powder to make my brows bolder and mascara to lengthen my lashes. When I'm finished, I feel put together, like my armour's on and I'm ready to face the day.
At first I fretted about the idea of going out without makeup, but then I started booking appointments. You see, the key to being makeup free is to enhance your skin and other assets so they're in top condition, and because technology is changing so rapidly, there's actually a lot you can do in that department. Think of it like a little cheat sheet. Sure, technically you're not wearing makeup, but you're utilising every trick in the book to get you (and keep you) looking good. To make things more interesting, I gave myself a tight timeline of just one month to turn my look around, from full face of makeup to makeup free.
First up was my complexion.
I started at Auckland's About Face, signing up for their Clear & Brilliant treatment. Using fractionated laser technology, it works to rejuvenate your skin, erase fine lines around the eyes and reduce pore size and acne scaring. What I liked best, however, was its promise to even out my skin tone and all but erase my hyperpigmentation.
But, as they say, beauty is pain. The heavy-duty treatment starts with a topical anaesthetic to numb the skin before the fractionated laser is used. Imagine the feeling of a really hot ballpoint moving across your face; it's uncomfortable, but bearable. Afterwards my skin felt hot and looked red, as though I'd spent a little too much time in the sun. For the following week, my face felt as dry as the Sahara desert. It was rough, too, and rather murky-looking.
Although three treatments are recommended, with my tight timeline I could only fit in two, but I have to say that for me the results were visible after just one. When the dry skin sloughed off, my hyperpigmentation was greatly reduced and my skin looked fresh, dewy and radiant.
"After fielding multiple compliments about my skin, I had the confidence to stop wearing foundation during the day."
After fielding multiple compliments about my skin, I had the confidence to stop wearing foundation during the day. My complexion had seriously never looked better. But the prominent lines stretching across my forehead, which I'd ordinarily try to hide with foundation, still bothered me, so I went to The Face Place to see what could be done about it.
During my comprehensive consultation, it was decided a few jabs of Botox in my forehead would solve the issue. I was in and out of there in just one hour, and over the course of the following week, I gradually began to notice the lines plump out. I felt as if it had taken several years off my face.
Next stop: lashes.
With particularly short and straight eyelashes, I usually use loads of mascara and an eyelash curler to create my desired effect. But I'd started to suspect that repeated use of the eyelash curler was actually pulling out and weakening my lashes. So I went to see Auckland specialists Lash Noir Ink, to find out about their latest treatment, the Yumi lash lift. Straight out of France, it's the crème de la crème of lash lifts, curling your lashes as well as lifting, darkening and thickening them. Best of all, the results can last eight to 10 weeks.
Co-owner Rebecca Hutchinson took one look at my sparse lashes and warned me they might look even more gappy when curled and lifted. Undeterred, I told her to go ahead; my lashes have never been my biggest beauty asset, so I figured anything that made them even slightly better would be an improvement.
The process took about an hour. Rebecca used rounded pads to first curl my lashes, then applied the keratin formula. Post-treatment, my lashes were properly bat-ready. I couldn't believe the change and vowed at that moment that I'd never use a lash curler again, and would only resort to mascara on special occasions.
I was dying to get my brows done at Lash Noir Ink too, but the popularity of feathering has resulted in a long wait-list. Also known as micro blading or brow embroidery, the semi-permanent feather-touch technique uses a tiny row of needles to scratch carefully crafted lines into the skin to mimic natural hair. It's a lengthy process and takes a couple of visits to fully complete your dream brows, with an annual touch-up to keep them looking on point.
Thwarted, I headed to Benefit's Brow Bar for a wax and tint — and the results were stellar. The owner of dark brows, I never usually go for a tint, but the staff explained that even the darkest brows have some lighter hair sprinkled through them, so a tint is the best way to achieve complete coverage. It didn't give the permanence of feathering, but I was very happy with the results.
In conclusion
As the month drew to a close, I found myself applying less and less makeup — and it felt really good. That said, the preparation required to become makeup free was pretty time-consuming and came with a hefty price tag.
So was it worth it? Absolutely.
Not only does not applying makeup free up much-needed minutes in the morning, but I feel much more confident about my appearance — as if I've got nothing to hide. I still like to wear makeup on special occasions, but overall I'm pretty content to go with only the skin I'm in — now that it's been enhanced to the be best it can be, of course.
But the results are written all over my face.

In any case, when the Americans proposed a "zero tolerance" rule on pedophile priests, the Vatican disagreed. That's the most damning thing about the child sex-abuse scandal; why on Earth would they disagree that there should be a zero-tolerance rule on child sex abuse in the priesthood?

Customer Reviews
Double Bergamot Earl Grey Decaf Black Tea
An error was made when my order was processed- I was sent the wrong tea. I contacted Stash and they sent me the proper tea at no charge, which really was above and beyond! So not only do they have fantastic teas, they also have fantastic customer service, and I am a customer for life!
The tea is s basically superb but i cant get enough bergamot!! A bit disappointed seems less bergamot than reg double.but still a fave
I have been buying from Stash for several years and they never disappoint. Great selections just missing Scottish Breakfast!
This is such a great alternative to chamomile before bed. Bold flavor with no caffeine
Great tasting tea. I wish I could get larger quantities shipped in one larger container, rather than the 5 bags this last shipment came in.

Cleddens Early Learning and Childcare Centre established in 2004. In April 2017 we moved premises to a new purpose built establishment on the same campus as the new Thomas Muir Primary school. More information can be found below:
Our Centre provides care and education for children 50 weeks per year, from 8am to 6pm. We are able to take in 9 babies, 20 2-3 year olds and 114 3-5 aged children. This is an increase of 30 children. We are not currently at full capacity within the 3-5 room; however with the increase in housing in the surrounding area, this may shortly change.
Cleddens EL&CC sits within the Woodhill area of Bishopbriggs South and we allocate term time places for children aged 3-5 years from this area and can offer extended day places year round to children throughout East Dunbartonshire. The majority of our children attend on an extended day and year basis and only a small minority fall into the lowest SIMD rank.
In 2016 Cleddens were successful in gaining communication friendly status, supported by the Educational Psychology team and Speech and Language Therapists. We developed our staff skills in 5 different areas; including staff : child interactions and the communication friendly environment. We have had to establish the new environment to ensure its effectiveness in supporting children's communication and we will continue to monitor this against the standards to continue with and to make further improvements; including how we continue to effectively communicate and engage with our parents to ensure they have information on their child's learning.
We have a tracking system in place that follows the children throughout their experiences through a skills learning journey to ensure that children are making good progress throughout the early level. As a staff team we regularly discuss progress with the children and parents. Where necessary we input support through local interventions, with involvement from parents, key worker, nursery teacher and support assistants. For further interventions involving other educational partners or outside agencies, we support children through wellbeing indicators and in deciding what level of support may be required. We have opportunities to discuss children with our partners during Support for All Groups. Our staff observe children throughout their play to plan and form next steps and consider interventions required through using Ferre Laevers observations of wellbeing and involvement. Our last Care Inspection in 2016 graded us as excellent in meeting children's individual needs.
Our priorities for the year ahead include embedding practices within the Centre that have been established within our previous setting and providing our staff team with any relevant training to develop this; including further nurture training for additional staff. We will continue to offer opportunities for our parents and carers to engage within the Centre, supporting our language groups – teaching French and taking part in our Triple P groups and primary care sessions.
We will be working with our Cluster group partners within Turnbull and Bishopbriggs clusters to develop our programmes of learning within Literacy and Numeracy with a focus on skills development and taking into account the Education Scotland Benchmark Statements; working towards children's achievement of a level. The staff team will have opportunities for moderation and working with cluster colleagues during in service days to further enhance their practice.
We will be supported by our link Educational Psychologist and East Dunbartonshire Council to implement the PATHS programme which will assist our Early Years Practitioners in enhancing the environment to help our young children develop self-esteem, emotional awareness, problem solving and social skills to support in making friendships. This will complement our existing initiatives in providing for children's individual needs and offer opportunities for leadership opportunities at all levels.

Hi guys
I have taken lots of photos during my build but not uploaded them yet. The webbit was my first ever build after taking this hobby up 6 months ago. I have enjoyed the build and found the covering by far the most challenging part and one I will seriously need to practice on.
The colour scheme was based on my seagull yak 54 which had a close encounter with a tree a few weeks ago. I would be very interested in your comments good or bad. I will be taking the 'wasp' to the field in the next week or so.
Lessons learnt
1 - PATIENCE (I have a tendency to try to get as much done as possible then rush and make silly mistakes.
2) DONT use cyano for the engine mount plate (mine is now curing with epoxy with two birch spars in the engine bay to add a little strength
3) COVERING - solarfilm is difficult to put on but much harder to take off when you have balsa locked everything (painful bitter experience after the first attempt at covering the wing)
4) TRY and enjoy the build process without trying to rush to the end of it
5) read the instructions first - I am not very good at this part.
Any how I am really happy with the design but cannot help thinking my webbit is going to be a very heavy one with my big battery/ engine/servos etc. It seems a big ask for the little sc15 engine but hey we will see in the next week.
Here she is - THE WASP WEBBIT

Cracking job Steve - a credit to you. If that's you're first attempt at building ist gone very well by the looks of it!
Part of the point of the Mass Build was exactly to encourage folks like yourselve to have a go at building - and hopefully learn first hand that its fun and not as difficult as it sometimes looks. Enjoy your WebBit - fingers crossed for the maiden.
Don't forget to put a picture in the "Finished WebBit Gallery" as well!

Yes guys it didnt look too bad, unfortunately the sc15 is not manly enough to get it off the ground. It appears I have built a remote control car in the shape of a webbit.
My last chance is to cut the strip to see if I can get it rolling a bit faster for a take off.
At least i have learnt a lot and my capiche build is progressing well. What a hobby!!!!!!

Hand launch?
Make sure you've got lots of space in front in case it doesn't want to climb and land straight ahead if it's too marginal.

OH dear! What a pity.
Thinking about it,....it might not just be the engine. Someone else was having trouble getting their WebBit to rotate - Grumpy Bill I think.
How much does it actually weigh? Can you get the weight down? Smaller battery? Any ballast fitted? If so can anything be moved around to lessen the need for it? How big a tank have you fitted? Could you fit a smaller one?
A couple of things you might want to try:
1. Squeeze the main undercarrage together a bit and if poss lower the tail by bending the tail wheel wire up a bit. This will increase the wing's angle of attack on the ground.
2. Give it a tad more elevator throw - best to do this on a special "elevator high rates" switchable setting - you might not want it that high in the air! This will help a little with rotation.
Worth a try - it just might give you that bit more upward urge you need on the ground.

I am using a 15 size engine which is within the recommended size range but had similar problems to you. I think I've got it pretty much cracked now so I'll tell you what I did and hope it's of some help.
I started with an 8x4 prop which seemed to give reasonable ground speed but I couldn't get it to unstick. I had been somewhat generous with the lead on the front and after removing 50 grammes it did look like it might get away. This has taken it from slightly nose heavy to slightly tail heavy (and lively - see below). Next step was to experiment with some prop sizes. No 7" prop could make it roll but a 9x4 matched the 8X4 for ground speed and still managed just over 10k revs so I decided to have a serious go at it with that. It worked but I have to make a gentle initial climb out until the prop unloads then it's just fine. It seems to me that a wide prop is working better than an equivelant deeper pitch prop, I might see if I can get hold of 9x3 and see what that does for it.
After I was looking at the plans again at home when I realised my tail wheel was holding the back end too high so I've gone from 1.5" wheels to 2.25" to improve the angle of attack available for ROG and that made a further improvement in breaking away from the ground; that was in flat calm so with a head wind there shouldn't be any problem.
Re the CG shift mentioned above - I presume this is the cause of a fairly sensative elevator, now its all trimmed out and I've had a few flights I think I could stick with it but I was looking for a little more comfort with this model so currently I've reduced the throws by 10% on each of the rates settings and added 20% expo in the low rate, 25% in the high rate. This set-up is still lively but I can fly happily with it like that. I may add a little more expo to the high rate.
You are right though a close cut strip helps

Some great advice thanks.
I have learnt a lot from this build. I used the same rx battery pack as I do for all my planes. In hindsight I should have used a smaller pack but I have kind of built it in to the fuz so cannot change it. The tank is pretty small so I dont think that will help. I will cut the strip and look at the tail wheel height.
I have tried a couple of different props (9 6 and 8 6)
The 9 6 is definitely no good and the 8 6 is marginal so I will try and get hold of some 8 - 4 and 9-4 props to see.
I have to say though it was still a good project and has really got me excited about building from plans. I am almost finished the wings and aeleron's of the capiche which is more complicated and the lessons learnt on the webbit have been great. I will be trying a warbird next.
Anyhow I am off to the strip to fly for a couple of hours before going to a wedding.

The model looks amazing. I like that. The orginal WebBITs flew on Enya 15's - some like Paul Heckles were on the Ballrace TN 15 - I'm wondering about the power out put quoted on the SC 15. My reason is that I spoke to a customer of some years ( and modeller of even more years) and he had an SC15 in his and while it flew, he didnt get a good take off when trying an ROG. Paul used to have something like a 9 x 4 or 8.5 x 4 and I think when he flew it at Sandown he had the 15 BB TN Enya with a 10 x 3 Graupner Grey prop. The Graupner grey is old school and not as pitchy as modern props. Makes me think that those using a 15 should go for less pitch.
I just back pedal'd to Ian's post and he's finding similar - less Pitch and more groundspeed will give a better take off and plenty in the air as it unloads.
I should add that the SC 15 loves Nitro. So at 15% you are only just getting going, - Regards fuel a 20 % synthetic/castor with 15 or 20% Nitro would make the SC 15 sing better. Some of the competition 18% synthetics would be even better, but that might leave you with no warranty on a lean run. Some manufacturers want use less that 18% and then only one with a castor percentage.
Hope to see all these WebBIts flying on Sunday!

Kate the great bottle availiablity
13 comments:
Hey Tyler, that is a pretty interesting strategy for bottle distribution. You should make sure it gets known in the beer geek community so that there isn't a big rush on any one day.ReplyDelete
And you can tell Tod that I said he has to share that bottle of Temptation with you....
OK, so 10 total over the first two days leaves ~30 cases at 5 per day, so we're looking at the following Wednesday, July 1st, as the potential last day to get a bomber until December? Did you guys decide on an individual limit?ReplyDelete
P.S. - I'm taking Tuesday afternoon off. Hope to see a decent crowd there and maybe some confused tourists wondering who Kate is.
- AnonymousMay 7, 2008 at 8:47 AM
37 BA's signed up for Tuesday and it's over a month out...ReplyDelete
A couple folks coming from IL/IN....I hope they get their Kate fix.
I am very pleased w/ this "release schedule"....works for many of us who may not be able to get up there on Tuesday.
- AnonymousMay 7, 2008 at 1:05 PM
Tyler - do you mean 10 cases on the 24th and 10 cases on the 25th? Or...10 cases total for both days? Will bottle sell on the 24th start at 2:27? Thanks.ReplyDelete
Well anonymous. we will have 10 cases available fore both the 24th and 25th. And yes the bottles as well as the snifters/growlers are not available untill 2:27pm on the 24thReplyDelete
Someone posted on Beer Advocate that Peter doesn't want to impose a bottle limit. The eBayers have got to be licking their lips over the possibility.ReplyDelete
It might be a good idea to impose a limit the day of based on the rough number of people counted in line to ensure that people get their bottles. Three Floyds took somewhat of a reputation hit because people were stuck in line without beer for DLD. The growlers should help there though.
- AnonymousMay 7, 2008 at 7:22 PM
You got 37 Beer advocates saying the are going to show Lets say it grows a little more to even Forty (but I figure that it will be more like around 80 or so in line ) You might want to limit the sales so everyone get at least a couple bombersReplyDelete
Oh ya where do we start the line. Hopefully they made the sidewalk bigger when they tore it up or things could get crowded
They don't let people camp out on the sidewalk overnight in Portsmouth, right?ReplyDelete
Hey Tyler,ReplyDelete
I am an avid homebrewer who (UNFORTUNATELY) will be out of town for the Kate the Great bottle release madness. It is arguably my favorite beer of all time (along with half the beer-geek community) and I am pretty sad I might miss it this year.
Is there any way you could give the basic recipe out so I could try and brew it myself? Just the basic grains and proportions, hops and yeast.
Thanks a ton!!
- AnonymousMay 13, 2008 at 8:33 AM
Hey Tyler- what time on wednesday will you start selling the bottles? What time does the gift shop open? Thanks!!ReplyDelete
Everything goes on sale at 2:27pm on the 24th bottles/growers/draft/tee shirts (I am not sure what the store is up to with this but something). The rest of the week the store will be on summer hours so I beleve that the store opens at 10am rather then the 11am it is now.ReplyDelete
Hey Tyler,ReplyDelete
I was just wondering does the shop sell any glassware? Primarily the snifters?
We are currently out of the snifters, bet we are ordering more! If you go to our website there is a link to the company store where you can see what we have as of now. But the store did just get a buch of stuff in that is not on the website so come on in and check it out.ReplyDelete

On Monday, August 21st, 2017, the skies above Oregon and other parts of America will be shrouded beneath the "path of totality" of a solar eclipse. Solar eclipses happen a little less than once a year, but total solar eclipses are very rare to witness firsthand. The last total solar eclipse to touch any of the 50 states of America was on July 11th, 1991, making it 26 years since Americans have been able to see one from home. Being such a rare opportunity, Oregon Tech and 53 other national collegiate and high school teams will be working in tandem with NASA to capture this historical moment.
Each team will send up a high-definition video camera attached to a high altitude balloon to get a clear shot of the shadow of the moon as it crosses the earth during the eclipse. These cameras will be streaming online through Stream.Live for those unable to attend the event. During a June test launch, Oregon Tech's video had impressive views of Mt. Jefferson and the Cascade Range and was deemed by NASA to have some of the best video quality of all participating teams.
Oregon Tech's team will be launching from the roof of the Crop Science Building at Oregon State University's campus in Corvallis, Oregon. The balloons are expected to reach altitudes of about 80,000 feet during the eclipse and will continue to an altitude of around 100,000 feet before they finally burst, capturing the shadow of the moon crossing the Earth from the stratosphere.

Gerry: Doc's Back Pain Cure Healed Me
WBAL TV 11 Sports Director Gerry Sandusky said he went through years of excruciating back pain but finally found a doctor who changed his life without surgery.
Currently, Sandusky said he is pretty happy to take on household projects like painting, but in the mid 1990s, he wasn't. He was having chronic back pain, and it hit a crescendo when his second child was born.
"When Zach was born 13 years ago, he had been home 10 days and I was putting him in his crib, and just when I leaned over to put him in, it was like a lightning bolt hit me in the lower back," he said.
He said he took painkillers and saw all sorts of doctors for a few years. He said he often thought "this is a bad day. I'll get to work but that's about it I couldn't lift heavy things, I got out of a lot of housework."
Finally a physical therapist asked him if he'd read a book by Dr. John Sarno, a professor at New York University and the author of several books dealing with back pain. Sarno said the brain is often running the back pain show. He called it tension myocitis syndrome.
"It's so consistent in hardworking, conscientious, responsible people who expect a great deal of themselves," Sarno said.
The doctor said it's real pain caused by stress, repressed emotions and anxiety -- not any physical ailment -- and it's benign.
"As I look back on it, I was so in the thought of, 'I'm overwhelmed, overwhelmed, overwhelmed.' And literally before I knew it, I was on the floor," Sandusky recalled.
He said he started a regimen of meditation and deep breathing and tried to change his thinking. He thought if his back hurt it was no big deal. And what happened because of it?
"I'm fine," Sandusky said. "(Sarno) changed my life. He changed the way I think, and not just with my back. When I start to feel overwhelmed and stressed -- the warning signs -- I just say, 'Whoa, check your thinking.'"
"The downside is that I get stuck with a lot more housework. I can bend, lift and move furniture. I can paint. I'm doing painting a lot more," he said.
The book by Sarno that Sandusky read is titled 'Mind Over Back Pain."

No one meets you at the station upon arrival, the town and its people are gloomily silent, electricity goes out for no reason and windows are framed with strange datura plants. Worse, there is no return date on your ticket! Are you doomed to stay here forever? Is this world even real? And could this all be related to the mysterious Mirror of Avatifa that broke many years ago?
Meet lovely Amanda living next door and fight the devilry together. Wander the desolate streets and rid Hazewich of the spooky forces that are trying to destroy your world!

Letters From Nowhere
I really enjoy the game. My only problem started when I had to replace my tablet. I think I must be signed on differently so I now have 2 different accounts in the game. My old tablet won't stay on. It will start up and randomly shut back down. I'm going to connect with your customer service department to get all of my G5 games back to each only being my main account. I did not realize till too late that I had mistakenly ended up with 2 accounts on each game so what I spent in each is separated. I want to merge everything to the main account as that is where all my friends that I played with are still my game friends. Not to mention I don't think I should pay for the same game twice now that I realize what has happened. G5 puts out great games and most all the games I play currently are G5 games. Been a lot going on so when things are back under control I will connect with the company to fix the mix up. I will update everyone on how well G5 resolves problems as well as how long, how hard and how polite they will be when I get this worked on.
At least it doesn't crash all the time
As G5 hidden object games go, this one is the most stable one I've played, so I'm giving it four stars.
The time limit for finding items, and the number of items to find in each location get more challenging, the higher the level you achieve, but the game also rewards effort, even if you don't manage to find all the items in time - for every certain number of failures, it gives you a prize for perseverance, which is one of the reasons I like it!
It would be nice if there was some way to be able to tell which scenes you've already found the stamp/black cat in, because I think I missed one, but I can't figure out which scene it was!
I also wish it wouldn't keep showing that hideous half-witch half-cat face as one of the "loading" pages; yes, I get that it's a creepy-themed game, but c'mon, who wants to have to stare at that disgusting picture twenty times a day! I would change my rating to five stars, if they'd only get rid of it.
Never anything new
I like the game yet I don't! It never does anything special for the holidays or time of year. The icon shows a Christmas picture which is so false! It still looks the same as it has for over a year now. Other things in the game that really really bug me is their advertising for other games everytime you finish a short game. Then you have to wait a bit before you can even exit out and not only once do you have to press the x to get out but twice!!!! One last thing that really bugs me is when you use a game helper (whatever you call the things to help you get through the game if your stuck) and you activate it before your time is up but by the time the hidden object takes to match up with your picture box on the bottom, you still lose. It's because the object takes its sweet time to disappear causing you to lose still! I hope that makes sense. I was going to give this game a 3 but now I've decided to give it a 2!
