RE putting on sheer hosiery...I lear...Hi Jennifer,<br /><br />RE putting on sheer hosiery...I learned from my mother when I was a little girl (I'm 69 now) to wear a pair of cotton gloves (the 'old fashioned' white ones) when putting on hosiery and tights. Scrunch one leg at-a-time down to the toe and work the stocking up gently to the knee (for pantyhose types), then do the other leg. Stand up and work up the rest to the waist. This works beautifully and saves punching a nail, especially long thumbnails, through the stocking. I still have the pair of gloves my Mother used. I keep them in my stocking drawer and enjoy a lovely memory every time I put on hosiery. Higher-end department stores still sell gloves, but the nicest and most beautiful (and usually less expensive) can be found in antique stores - also, great-grandmother's attic for free!<br /><br />Cynthia-ClaireAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-39365571596855760382016-12-02T15:19:46.814-08:002016-12-02T15:19:46.814-08:00Really enjoyed the vlog of your Japan adventure an...Really enjoyed the vlog of your Japan adventure and how nice to have your little one with you. As for your search for a good eyebrow kit/pencil, I've really liked using Urban Decay's Brow Box. They have a kit for blondes and one for brunettes. I purchased mine at Ulta and use a Real Techniques eyebrow brush to apply( though the kit does come with a small brush, I prefer a longer handle.). <br />Thank you for such a wonderful and inspiring blog and books and congratulations on all your success.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-52965733146237245012016-11-29T19:15:53.609-08:002016-11-29T19:15:53.609-08:00I enjoyed your vlog!

I really needed a good laugh, and your battle with Japanese appliances delivered. :-) By the way, have you looked into the new Netflix original The Crown? It might help fill the void left by Downtown Abbey.

He is indeed a poised baby and seems calm and interested in the world- just like his Mama. It was wonderful to see a glimpse into your trip, Japanese food and culture, and the great beauty products. As always, what I appreciate most is your authenticity. Thank you for making poise attainable, genuine, and sometimes less than airbrushed-perfect. <br />I also want to thank you for introducing me to the Chanel eye-shadow palates and blushes. As a woman of color with a yellow skin undertone, I have never previously been drawn to Chanel. Sadly, their foundation colors never work very well on my skintone. However, because of your resounding praise, I have tried their eyeshadow palate and blush. There is simply no going back to anything else. Their colors, textures, and quality are beyond compare. So as with so many other things- thank you! Happy Holidays to the Family Connoisseur.

You looked amazing and thank you for sharing all the cultural highlights with us in your Vlog. So, did you ever go back to the drug store and buy a darker shade of the eyebrow pencil? Your dresses looked so pretty, as did your makeup throughout the video, and with your beautiful skin, your natural look is pretty, too. Also, from your earlier "packing" video, you mentioned that you took one pair of black tights and three pairs of nylons, two of which were the Donna Karan nude and the Commando nude. Was the third pair a see-through black or another pair of tights? As we've been experiencing cooler weather, even here in California, I'm curious about your color choices on the nylons. Welcome home and thank you for sharing those wonderful moments with your little one.Vicki Zimmermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11637208825504359610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-61805558624030669412016-11-29T10:24:41.179-08:002016-11-29T10:24:41.179-08:00Hi Jennifer,

My research has unearthed so too many options with a mixture of reviews.<br /><br />Help!<br /><br />RebekahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-81375570024736535952016-11-29T05:14:13.476-08:002016-11-29T05:14:13.476-08:00When I am in museums in Manhattan, I am always imp...When I am in museums in Manhattan, I am always impressed by the elegance of the visitors.
