Review – Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Daily Sunblock

Neutrogena UltraSheer® Liquid Sunblock

I live in Las Vegas, NV where the summer sun is extreme. My son, who never burns, got his very first sunburn this summer because of how hot the sun is out here. He gets his darker skin coloring from my side of the family, but not from me directly. I am very pale, with lots of freckles and I burn VERY easily. I also have very oily and sensitive skin. I hate using most sunscreens and lotions because of my skin type. So when Neutrogena asked me to try out and review their new Neutrogena UltraSheer® Liquid Daily Sunblock, I was excited but skeptical. Could it really protect my skin from the sun in Las Vegas and keep me from feeling like I had my own personal oil spill?

Blah Blah Blahgging

I know I’ve been totally neglecting my blog lately.   I think part of it was because I’ve been feeling very blah lately.  Partially because of the heat here in Las Vegas (we’ve been having excessive heat warnings for the last week.  It’s been getting over 115 here), and partially because my “day job” has been getting very busy.  But really it all comes down to the reality that I have just been lazy.  I know you’re shocked, me lazy!  LOL!

Favorite Friday – My Favorite #Poker Rooms

Favorite Poker Rooms

I absolutely love playing poker.  It’s my favorite past time.  The poker game that I always play is Texas Hold ‘Em, because it’s the game where you not only have to have skills in strategy and poker hands, but also in reading other players and how to use your chips to your advantage.  There is a lot of psychology that goes into playing Poker, which makes it a very mental game.  Which is one of the many reasons I love playing it.  It challenges me in so many ways, that I’m always learning something about myself and other people, and this translates over to life as well.  This is why I love playing poker so much!

Review – Tuxedo Junction Las Vegas

Tuxedo Junction Las Vegas

My oldest son is 16 and he’s in high school.  He attends a charter school here in Las Vegas which is mostly homeschool, but once a week he goes to campus for “class” and has P.E. classes 2 times a week.  The school has all sorts of cool things to participate in, including student council and a Prom!  The prom is for all high school students, not just Juniors and Seniors.    This is a formal event and has a theme of  “The Red Carpet”.  So Roger needed a Tux.

Stick Shift!

This is Steve’s Jeep.  Isn’t it cute!  It’s a stick shift.  Steve’s been trying to get me to learn to drive a stick shift from the first time we started dating.  he’s taken me out a few times, both in his car (which was a Ford Contour) and the Jeep.  But I’ve always been too worried to really learn to drive it.

Restaurant Review – Market Grille Cafe

marketgrille

I generally don’t like doing negative reviews.  I know it’s supposed to show that your neutral, objective, but I am kinda old fashioned in thinking that if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.  However, when you come across something that makes you feel just a little bit ripped off and you want to warn others, you have to bite the bullet and let it all out.  Unfortunately, this restaurant fit that bill!

Writing Prompt – The Last Time I Cried

The writing prompt is from Build Creative Writing Ideas from his 20 free writing prompts page.  The one that I felt I needed to use was this one:

18. Describe the last time you cried that didn’t relate to a movie, television show, play or book.

tears

The last time I cried that wasn’t realted to a movie, tv show, play or book (which happens quite often actually) was on Saturday, Jan 24, 2009.  Just a short 4 days ago.  I found out something that happened recently that not only hurt me, but my mom and older sister as well.  My neice, who is my brother’s youngest daughter, is getting married this summer.  Which should be a happy thing, but it’s not… at least not for the family members out here in Las Vegas.  You see, my mother and I are specifically, by  name, not invited to the wedding.  Not on accident, not out of respect, or anything good.. but out of simple petty meanness.

This isn’t a short story that can be explained in a few paragraphs, so bare with me here while I go back in time almost a decade (wow it’s really been that long!?). Read the rest of this entry »
