At the beauty store yesterday and tested Benefit’s Hello Flawless Oxygen WOW liquid foundation and so far I’m impressed with it. It has a really nice, glowy finish that’s not too bright nor greasy looking. It also has good coverage. I tried it yesterday without primer and today I tried it over their 15 hour…

Every now and then I get these spam mails about “events” at yoga places and it seems clear to me that they’re just businesses trying to make money. If it really were about healing it would be free. The teachers would get day jobs just like the rest of us. Far too many yoga “teachers”…
