Bone Appeteet! from Aunt Eunice

"Aunt Eunice's Beauty Secrets"

When I went to see the movie Julie & Julia today with my dear friends, Mabel and Bessie, I walked out of that movie house inspired from my head to my toes.

~ First, my passion for cooking returned, so I invited Mabel and Bessie home for dinner. I opened a can of tomato soup with new gusto, plopped it a plastic bowl--oops--landed on the floor--oh, well--then threw it in my microwave, and walla! Together we savored every delicious bite! I highly recommend Julie and Julia to all the chefs out there who need a fresh inspiration.

~Second, from this day forward, I'm taking my blogging to the next level. If Hollywood can make a movie from that girl Julie Power's blog, then why not mine? My future beauty book can do as much for women in the bedroom as Julia's cookbooks did for them in the kitchen.

~ I don't know who I love more, Julia Child or Meryl Streep. I've been told that I have the looks of Julia and the talent of Meryl, so anything is possible!

~ I'm going to my attic now to find the box where Julia's cookbooks are stored, so until next time, Bone Appeteet!

Noxema, take me away! from Aunt Eunice

"Noxema is the key to opening up your past."

Last week when I was vacationing in Iceland, my niece called me long distance to ask me how I got my peaches & cream complexion. 'Darlin', I told her, 'I bought a jar of Noxema years ago, and I never looked back.' Well, Sharon called me today with her wondrous update. 'Aunt Eunice, as soon as I slathered that Noxema on my face, I was suddenly taken back in time.'

Have you ever had a fragrance take you back to that special place in time? Well, Noxema did that for Sharon. Suddenly she was in 8th grade, lying on her bed with the window open. That gentle breeze touching her skin made her forget that she was fighting a face full of zits (plain English: pimples). She felt as if she had the peaches & cream complexion of that beautiful stuck-up girl who walked by her every day at school with her nose up in the air. 'I should have continued using Noxema instead of all that expensive stuff that's advertised as the miracle invention for erasing wrinkles forever.'

So run on down to your nearest pharmacy and buy yourself a jar of Noxema, or whatever takes you back to that special place in time!
Yours truly, Aunt Eunice

Summer Beauty Tip #2 from In-house Beauty Editor Aunt Eunice

Do you really want to see the real you this summer? Then go lie on your lounge chair in the direct sunlight with a magnified hand mirror. Are you with me? Now look directly at your reflection--what do you see? Are you still with me? Don't fret darlins, the first time I did this (last month at Turtle Pond), I went into such a state of shock that my best friend Gertrude had to call the paramedics! When they arrived they thought they had lost me. When I heard the cute ambulance driver say to his blonde Kenny Chesney look-alike assistant, "No loss here" that did it! I jumped up & marched back to my lounge chair--I was on a mission! I proceeded to pluck every last gray hair from my chin, counted every wrinkle, and decided right then and there to make an appointment with Gertrude's bo-tox guru.
~ After saying all this, remember: no matter what you find in that mirror, beauty is only skin-deep--you just have to remind your handsome ambulance driver of that fact!
Yours truly, Sun-kissed Aunt Eunice
