After a week long sojourn, I have returned to San Diego

So? What'd I miss?! Tell me everything

(pics and other things inside)

Welcome to our bi-weekly Healthy Living CF!

Ok, let's do things a bit differently this week. Let's talk about about skin care, morning/evening routines and "beauty treatments". 

What are your must-have- items? I'm speaking make-up removers, cleansers, cremes and all that good-smelling (and mostly overpriced) jazz.

Do you follow a strict routine in the mornings/evenings, and if so, what's it like? 

Do you use face masks, mud mask/baths, peelings etc? How about getting spa treatments and mani/pedi's at the salon and waxings? What about massages? Or do you prefer the home-spa variety to relax and treat yourself to some down time?

Are you in need of some new, good products? Is there a specific product line you can recommend to those in need? Do you know your way around the hygiene/cosmetic/beauty-aisle jungle?! Are there more products stocked in your bathroom than you actually use?!

Come in and let's talk about it. 

Of course, if you feel all meh about the suggested topic, you're more than welcome to jump in and share whatever your want to share or ask for advice!

And while around, maybe feed a tree or two?

We here at ADF are a friendly, helpful bunch!

If you have a request for a type of story or a book,
this is your spot.

If you are unsure about something that has to do with ADF,
ask here.

If you have amnesia about a fic,
this is the place to ask about it!

If you are unsure about something that DOES NOT have to do with ADF,
ask here as well!

I found myself awake at 3:30 am local time and unable to go back to sleep. I finally said "f*** it," and got up, since I work from home and why not just start work before 4:30 am?

You know those weird Snowball dances...at like a wedding reception or something?  You dance, and you pull someone else in... and they pull somone in... etc?  I pulled in a PIXIE VAMP.  Who else can grab a friend to get things hoppin'? P.S.  Pixies trump just about anything.

Ain't no shame in drinkin' on a Tuesday! Currently enjoying some Crystal Head Vodka in my iced coffee. What's your go-to drink? Share a recipe.  Bonus points for sharing a memory of an embarrassingly sloshed moment. And yeah... I can't post pictures.  so if anyone could supply some Karen Walker, Lucille Bluth, or an equally awesome boozy-babe, I'll love you foreverrrrrr!

Gabrielle Union!

HELLO FOREST!

How are ya?

I've been really busy lately but wanted to stop by and talk about Outlander.

I'm reading Echo in The Bone so I'm almost through the whole series...and man it's been one wild ride!

A lot has been happening in the fandom lately from butt groping to whether or not to share bts pics, to who is going to play Roger? (I'm personally hoping Richard Rankin will and last to Ron Moore sending a friend of mine flowers in the hospital..... So nice!

Have you been keeping up with all the behind the scenes pics?

Check out this of the duel...

 or Claire's beautiful dresses? I'll post more in the comments.

Come chat with me!

Come out and play!

I ran into a friend who recently got hitched and her married name is the same as her maiden name.  Got me thinking about the name change.  Did you or would you change your name?  Hyphenate?  I changed mine and it was a pretty even name trade.  Do you think you traded up or down?  Did you love your maiden name but don't love your married name or vice versa?  Are you happy your Mom married your Dad because she had a terrible maiden name?  LOL.


Trees today are:
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon-LOVE HIM SO MUCH
Kaplan, still selling me on nursing school
Malt O Meal--Colossal Crunch~No idea what that is.

so I just got an email announcing that I can pre-order the 10th Anniversary Edition of Twilight, available with additional content.

mic drop

10 years?

How is that possible?

Also, I did chuckle on the outtakes.  It never fails to feel like she's 'learning' from fandom :)
