M "ELL" K Day

You are very lucky readers, because today is all Elli, all day. But first, this weekend. Friday night saw the arrival of my Birchbox:

This month's theme is obviously Hello 2017. I got another nice selection of products.

From left to right:
1) Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk - it says that it can also be used as a volumizer and texturizer. Must give that a whirl.
2) Amika Bombshell Blowout Spray - I don't blow dry my frizzy mop, but it says that it can be used to revive my style. Must also give this a whirl.
3) Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner - I have trouble with liquid liner. This one has a pen-style applicator, so we will see if that will help me.
4) Sunday Riley Good Genes All-in-One Lactic Acid Treatment - one pump will exfoliate, plump, even out pigmentation and boost my glow.
5) Pixi by Petra Glow Tonic to Go - exfoliating towelettes. These are already gone. I liked them, but I have a lot of exfoliator samples, so I will use those before I buy anything.

On Saturday morning, I was finally able to go for a run in the park. I saw my Egyptian Goose flock, and boy, are they getting tame. As you can see, they all walked right  up to me, looking for a treat.

The chicks now have their red feet and brown eye circles. I guess they will be having their own chicks by spring. Ma and Pa EGoose did a great job of raising their babies up.

Then we went over to my MIL's house to move some furniture around for her. When my mom passed away, Mimi graciously accepted a lot of my mom's furniture. She got rid of her very old stuff and is now using all of my mom's, which is of a very high quality ( and therefore, very heavy). While Doc and Nathan toted the barge and lifted the bale, Elli and I played with the grandkids.

She tolerated their ministrations for a while, then I got the "Get Me Out Of Here" look. When we got home, she took a gigantic nap.

Yesterday, I just cleaned the yard, did laundry and dishes, and got my car washed. Today, I have to work, even though it's Martin Luther King Day. This is what I wore:

These are very old black knit slacks, topped with a sweater from Cable and Gauge, and a red zip front cashmere cardigan from Neiman Marcus.

Here's a closeup of Elli, so you can see our mother-daughter style.

Here is a better look at the sweater. It has the red and blue bands at the sleeve edges, also.
My shorter necklace is garnet, and the longer one is KJL, and was my mom's.

And that's about all, except for some links:

Have a great MLK Day !!!
