Beauty and the Beast Tips

Hi Bingo Balls!

It's getting chilly and rainy this month around the world and it's leaving us stuck indoors. What are some things we can do to entertain ourselves?

I thought about maybe having an indoor treasure hunt, nah.

Maybe taking a bubble bath, nah.

I could bake some cookies but then I remembered that I don't bake.

You can definitely play Bingo in the Sun but what is there to do when it's raining?  ;)

Thanksgiving Splurging!

Ok so there is plenty of tips out there to help you from overeating this Thanksgiving. I say it is what Thanksgiving is all about and there should be NO rules as far as what you put in your mouth......well almost anything you put in your mouth!

I started out with creating a list of how not to go overboard with eating and thought hey who am i kidding i can't give advice i won't follow!

However if you do overeat and feel a bit sicky have plenty of Pepto-Bismol, Alka-Seltzer Tagamet!

Once that tummy is settled head over to 123 Bingo for the $1,000 TURKEY DINNER JACKPOT

Hi Bingo Babes!

I woke up to the sun shining so brightly in the UK and thought I slept through to spring. There are currently 31 more days until we get there. Spring begins on March 20th this year.

I love tulips and I'm always looking for a way to make them last longer once they've been cut.

Martha Stewart says:

STEP 1

Start with a very clean vase. Fill it about 1/3 full with fresh, room-temperature water; tulips last longer in shallow water. Add cut-flower food to the vase. You can also nourish flowers with a solution of one teaspoon sugar and two drops liquid bleach per gallon of fresh water.

STEP 2

Hold each stem next to your vase to gauge how much you'll need to trim. Using a sharp knife, cut stems at a 45-degree angle so they won't sit flat in the vase. Cut away any white stem tissue for better water absorption. Remove any leaves under the water line to prevent rotting.

STEP 3

Recondition your tulips daily: Recut the stems, change the water, and add nourishment. Keep in a cool area; heat reduces bloom time. If tulips droop once arranged, try this: Insert a pin through the stem just below the head; then pull it out. The holes let air escape to expedite the water flow. Keep in a cool place for longest life.

Don't you just feel like tiptoeing through the tulips with me? What is your favorite Glorious spring flower?

Without sounding trite i am right with you tulips are my favorite. I remember the first year i planted them around the side of my house. They had to be planted in the fall and i waited anxiously in the spring for them to pop up but they never did! Did a bit of research and discovered i planted the bulbs upside down  :'(.

Ugh that's awful lips but I bet looking bet it's pretty funny! You had to be livid LOL

Hi LBB'ers!

Winged eyeliner can be tricky. Ladies there is a fool proof way to get the perfect cat eye. And if you're a guy that likes to rock some eyeliner pay attention to achieve a sharp Bingo Liner.  ;)

"Place a piece of Scotch tape (about 1″) along the outer part of your eye toward the tail of your eyebrow, using your lower lash line as a guide. Take your bent eyeliner brush (or any super small makeup brush) and apply your eyeliner along the tape, connecting it to your upper lash line to form a triangle shape—this will give the illusion of a wing."

Love those cat eyes soooooo kewl!

Hi Bingo Balls!

Forget the beauty and let's talk about the beasts. Halloween is coming up and I was wondering if anyone has any parties coming up and please share some cool costume ideas. I've got a party happening on Halloween and I plan on painting my face like a day of the dead skull.

I may even have time to play a spooky game of bingo at Vampire Bingo!

 

In the shower and your singing so good even Simon Cowel would be impressed! Shampoo your hair, reach for the conditioner and oh no the nightmare of nightmares…..your out of conditioner! No problem…….here is a quick fix. Fabric softener, yes I said fabric softener! Just a dab of that just this once will get those tangles out of your hair and leave with soft smooth locks!

 

Oh my is it for real? I just can't believe that you can actually use fabric softener as an alternative conditioner???  ??? ??? ???

I have not personally tried it, but rumor says it works!
