HOBBY THEME - June 3-9, 2012
Sorry if I got a bit overanxious, but internet connection is spotty here at my mother-in-law's home in Japan, so I jumped while I had a chance. Plus, I'm a day ahead of Max (hope he'll forgive me for starting his thread and if not, that he'll move this to the right one)...[center]MNS Orange/Cedar/Black Pepper |
I hadn't shaved since Wednesday morning when I went to work, so this one felt particularly good. The MNS whips up just as well on this side of the globe as it does in DC. The suds were lubricious and the Gillette wiped me clean. So far, we're having a nice visit with the family. We had some wonderful ramen yesterday and off to the onset today! Hope all is going well where you are located...
SOTD - 'HOBBY THEME' - Sun June 03rd - June 09th

Brush: Simpson PJ3
Soap: Irisch Moos
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel
AS: Booster Mosswood
I'll start the themed 'Hobby' SOTD with one of my favorite hobbies and pastime. The wonderful world of cactus. It's been a passion of mine since I was a kid. Unfortunately living in Belgium didn't yield much enjoyment owning many. Imagine the joy when first living In California and now Vegas I'm really in cactus heaven. I'm a bit limited in the cactus I can grow because of the freezing and colder winters we have in Vegas as opposed to Southern California, Arizona,... But I winter wrap the few that can't take the cold to well. I've been to all the national parks, try to visit every cactus garden wherever I go and take as many pics as I can. I have my own little cactus garden in the yard and spend at least 30 minutes a day making sure they are all doing well. It's my little getaway and zen oasis.
Wishing everyone a blast in this week's SOTD.
