<p>Today, I share with you the secret to flawless skin. </p>

<p>Token male readers, if there is a woman in your life and a gift-giving occasion approaches, then keep reading.  If not, then you may want to go here or here instead. </p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>Lately, I have been a wee bit overobsessed with "uneven skin tone". </p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>Ladies, you know exactly of what I speak.  Token male readers, if you are still reading, you are puzzled and scratching your head. </p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>This time of year in my fair city is dry, dry, dry. </p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>Today's forecast:  high 74, sunny, bluest of blue skies, 18% humidity.  [Go ahead and hate me if you're snowed in right now.  Or hop on a plane (when you can get out) and come and join me.  :-) ]</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>Holy lack of moisture, Batman!!! </p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>Low humidity = dry and flaky skin. </p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>i.e, not pretty. </p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>i.e, you can forget about foundation, unless you fancy brown flakes on your face.   Ewwww....</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>What's a girl living in The Valley of the Sun to do during the winter? </p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>Go without foundation and deal with "uneven skin tone", of course! </p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>And then waltz around life believing that everyone is noticing your "uneven skin tone". </p>

<p><strong>Actual text message from me to David aka Captain Adventure:</strong></p>

<p><strong></strong> </p>

<p><strong>Me:  </strong>Out of curiousity, did u notice any "uneven skin tone" on my face when u were heare for din-din last week?</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p><em>(waiting for reply)</em></p>

<p><em></em> </p>

<p><strong>Me:</strong>  Be brutally honest.</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p><em>(waiting for reply)</em></p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p><strong>David:</strong>  No. </p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p><em>(Token male readers who have read this far are still puzzled and scratching their heads.)</em></p>

<p>Ladies, YOU know that these eensy weensy beauty flaws drive us to distraction. </p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>We all want to feel good about ourselves as go about our day!  We all want to feel beautiful!  We all want flawless skin! </p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>We all want coverage that won't turn into brown flakes in the winter!</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>Ladies, I save up your pennies and drive to Greatest Department Store on Earth or visit <a href="http://www.Nordstrom.com">www.Nordstrom.com</a> and treat yourself to Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer.</p>
