Did you ever try electric curlers, Orchid? I find they're quicker than a curling iron (and a little less damaging to our hair because there is sort of a cushion on each curler). My hair is really straight...ugh.



Haven't tried electric rollers..it just looks like too much work/time. I spend 8 min. in early morning with curling iron. It's just before 5:00 am when I'm doing my hair.

I have noticed because of gradual sun exposure even despite sun bloc, my face skin has grown darker enough that it is abit of a challenge to find a brightening blusher without it looking garish or too dark, as if someone slapped me across the cheekbone.

I do have straight hair, but thankfully it's fine and there's lots of it. It grows fast...so a good, chic haircut is the best beauty thing I could do to uplift my whole face. Enough that alot of guys at work will notice and compliment when I get a haircut. And this is possible..with absolutely no makeup. No I don't have smooth, flawless skin. I've reached a point where keeping fit and maintaining healthy weight is far more important.

Believe me, when the nerd-girl from decades ago, discovers a sport she loves, makeup fades in importance.
