A Touch Up

After the doctor, I got in there and started prepping for painting the children’s cottages. The children live in four cottages as of now and we are going to focus on those. Since we had paint donated, we will use those for their living areas. We had to sand and clean the walls and boy were they DIRTY (pronounce it with me- DUR-TY). They don’t look spic and span, but once a fresh paint of coat is on, I bet the kids will be so excited. The tough part will be to convince the little curious ones not to touch it when we’re done.


I think that anything we can do to make sure these children know they are important and special is something that we should invest in. I remember thinking how I could do something else for the kids besides painting their cottage that would be more useful. But the moment I saw how the kids were into it and willing to help changed my mind. You should see how wide-eyed they get that we are painting for them. Now, the job won’t be done by professionals, but it will be done with love and care. Some of the children are even taking their play time to help us as well. It’s quite a large task to take on and I remember how only a few weeks ago after painting the high school, I found out that I should NOT make this my day job.
Something as small as painting a room in their house, jumping on the trampoline with them, playing card games or just studying basic math facts together builds a lifetime of memories.

If we talk about the top five accessories that the woman always wants, then a handbag is certainly one of them. To carry the required items like mobile phones, pocket money, makeup items, credit cards or any other similar items, a handbag has become the necessity for every woman. It is not only stylish and elegant method to keep all of the important items collectively but also gives women a sense of pride..
If you have your eye on the Celeb trends at this time, you will notice facial hair is in fashion at this time. This is such a personal option for both women and men, bear in mind to take into account the extra grooming and skin problems that accompany growing hair on your face. A great day spa provides men's facials and may help cope with any ingrown hair, or any other issues.

Using the full color character artwork from the cover but without clothes, Marine and Mariyln are organized across the left with a basic pink hued background little else to actually draw on leaving it somewhat plain. Design is fairly simple using the selections across the right and also the navigation is easy with little on here beyond the show and also the trailers. Access times are nice fast and also the disc did not read our players' language presets because of the full English track being the second on the disc rather than the first..
