I have a cat story for you. I adopted Stella, my black cat, in March 2020. I learned later that I was the third person to adopt here in 3 months. Her original owner had abused her as a kitten and then surrendered her to the shelter because she would not behave as they wanted. By the time I learned all of this, the pandemic was raging and I was committed to her. But she is a very strange cat, and if I don’t behave as she wants she shuns me. I went away for a week in April and I’m still being ignored- except when she wants feeding, etc. I have learned to be compliant. I live in Texas and it’s already very hot. Unfortunately the air conditioner stopped working this weekend, and because of the Memorial Day holiday I couldn’t get it fixed until yesterday. Stella became more and more angry as the heat continued and she continued to plot her revenge even as the house cooled down. Please remember that Stella is a very strange cat. She doesn’t attract or scratch- she’s much more subtle. She hid in a dark corner under my desk which is built into a wall. I spent the day calling out for her and crawling under every piece of furniture (except the desk), going through the darkest reaches of the closets while feeling more and more certain I would find the still corpse of my cat. I have a vivid imagination. I have one friend Stella is comfortable with and I asked her to drop by after work. I started at one end of the house and Brenda the other. As soon as Stella heard her voice, she called out. Twelve hours I searched the house and called for her without success while Brenda called her once. And then she expected me to feed her. She went back to ignoring me after dinner. I told her if she wasn’t nicer to me soon she could go and live with Brenda. What she doesn’t know is Brenda has dogs. Stella hates dogs. Maybe then she’d appreciate me and my dog free home. Greetings from Texas.

Another great boot sale haul!
Some tips from a pro MA:
If you want to use pass on the makeup brushes, they can be washed in a clarifying shampoo or Dawn dish soap if it’s available in the UK. Then give them 1 part alcohol, 2 part water rinse to sanitize. Squeeze out excess water and lie flat to dry off the edge of a counter.
Spray your compacts with 99% isopropyl alcohol and toss the lipstick and any other cream or liquid in the bin.
The little half moon brush did not come with the MAC compact. The vented space is for the sponge that comes included.
Speaking of MAC, as an on-air talent you can apply for a MAC Pro discount card that will get you 35% off in the UK. 😊

The "You are my sunshine" sign caught my eye. My late husband used to sing tht song to me all of the time.

Hi Mr C! Nice haul! So any liquid eye make up is a big No no. You could get a very nasty eye infection of it. Those eyeliners i would propably throw straight to a bin, they are a really good Petri dish for any bacteria. Oh and that crystal is an Amethyst, it is said to protect you from alcoholism😅😂.

My favourite Amethyst crystal & basket ( fill the basket with crystals as long as they don’t touch each other ) will look naturally stunning 👍

Hi Mr. C! Another fun boot sale...yay! Love the giant tray basket bassinet thing & what a great price! As a medical professional I'd stay clear of any used or opened liquid, gel, or cream makeup that's not brand new in package. They can grow bacteria on them and you could end up with a nasty pink eye or some kind of skin infection. Actually I'd just stay clear of any used makeup in general. Even if they are slightly used or are testers because folks have put their fingers on them, run them in or on their eyes, &/or lips. It's just better to be safe than sorry. 😉 Always love seeing the kitties in your videos. Have a fab rest of the week! Much love from Fort Worth, Texas! 😊🏡🌼

Tiny little tester farrow and ball paints perfect for crafting, do very well on outdoor pots after being varnished as well. Testers are so expensive.

Love the basket. You could use with varius seasonal inside on the center of the table. You did well on all the other items. Careful with makeup, and wash brushes hot soapy water. You can never be to safe. Looking forward to your renovations, I am still painting my kitchen, endless changes. It is apx size of your kitchen.

I shuddered when you mentioned putting makeup brushes in the washing machine, I could never do that with mine. I use a proper makeup brush cleaner too because I know it won't irritate my eyes like shower gel would.
I agree with what you say about face powder, it sounds like a gimmick from MAC to get you to buy more products. It reminds me of the story that you should buy a new mattress every 7 years - that was spread by Dreams so they could sell more mattresses.
I think I would have picked up some costume jewellery at the bootsale and maybe some old tins.

Love the Bali floater tray thingy …..the cats will love it

[frugalfixer]

You can very easily swipe away the top layer of the powder to sanitize it. Even if it’s your own powder, you’re can scrape away the top layer if you haven’t used it for awhile. I have had MAC studio fix powder and cream foundation compacts that I’ve had used for two, or three seasons with no problems. So, as you Brits say, “crack on” lol”!

A blob of shower gel under a warm tap. Rub the make up brushes and rinse. All the 'historic' dirt and grime will come out and like new x

[dianehackett]

Mr C if you’re gonna get into ya crystals keep one of the large makeup brushes to clean them with, I find soft makeup brushes are very good to dust crystals with ❤

[WildflowerNJ]
