The Giving Tree

Once there was a tree..... and she loved a little boy.

 And every day the boy would come and he would gather her leaves and make them into crowns and play king of the forest. He would climb up her trunk and swing from her branches and eat apples. And they would play hide-and-go-seek. And when he was tired, he would sleep in her shade.

And the boy loved the tree.......very much.

And the tree was happy.

But time went by. And the boy grew older. And the tree was often alone.

Then one day the boy came to the tree and the tree said "Come, Boy, come and climb up my trunk and swing from my branches and eat apples and play in my shade and be happy"

"I am too big to climb and play", said the boy. "I want to buy things and have fun.

 I want some money. Can you give me some money?"

"I'm sorry," said the tree, "but I have no money, I have only leaves and apples.

 Take my apples, Boy, and sell them in the city. Then you will have money and you will be happy." And so the boy climbed up the tree and gathered her apples and carried them away.

And the tree was happy.

But the boy stayed away for a long time.. and the tree was sad.

And then one day the boy came back and the tree shook with joy and she said, "Come, Boy, climb up my trunk and swing from my branches and be happy."

"I am too busy to climb trees," said the boy.

 "I want a house to keep me warm," he said. "I want a wife and I want children, and so I need a house. Can you give me a house?"

 "I have no house," said the tree. "The forest is my house, but you may cut off my branches and build a house. Then you will be happy."

 And the boy cut off her branches and carried them away to build his house.

And the tree was happy.

But the boy stayed away for a long time.

And when he came back, the tree was so happy she could hardly speak.

 "Come, Boy," she whispered, "come and play."

"I am too old and sad to play," said the boy.

"I want a boat that take me far away from here. Can you give me a boat?"

"Cut down my trunk and make a boat," said the tree. "Then you can sail away...... and be happy."

And so the boy cut down her trunk and made a boat and sailed away.

And the tree was happy....

but not really.

And after a long time the boy came back again.

 "I am sorry, Boy," said the tree, "but I have nothing left to give you----" "My apples are gone."

"My teeth are too weak for apples," said the boy.

"My branches are gone," said the tree. "You cannot swing on them------"

"I am too old to swing on branches," said the boy.

"My trunk is gone," said the tree. "You cannot climb--------"

 "I am too tired to climb," said the boy.

 "I am sorry," sighed the tree.

"I wish that I could give you something------ but I have nothing left. I am just an old stump."

"I don't need very much now," said the boy. "just a quiet place to sit and rest. I am very tired." "Well," said the tree, straightening herself up as much as she could,

 "well, an old stump is good for sitting and resting.

 Come, Boy, sit down. Sit down and rest."

 And the boy did.

And the tree was happy.

Drugstore Favorites

Here are some of my favorite products that are available at local drugstores.

Maybeline Falsies mascara. It's THE mascara for me.

Does not smudge, curls all day long, makes my eyelash thick...list goes on.

And I don't mind throwing it away every few months.

I'm in love with the quality of Maybelline's lipstick.

This was my first low end lipstick and the quality is very comparable to the high ends.

Color payoff is great, moisturizing enough and the color STAYS on.

I haven't tried all the colors yet but my favorite is Ruby Star. (It's a very pretty watermelony color)



Palmer's Cocoa Butter Concentrated Cream.

It's pretty much same with the rest of the Palmer's, but the packaging is so much easier to carry it in my handbag than the other versions.

I use it on my hands, elbows, leg, feet... everywhere and anywhere.

Plus the smell of the Cocoa Butter is so heavenly.

Ecotools Retractable Kabuki Brush.

With the case, I don't have to worry the brush being dirty which is perfect to carry it in my bag.

I use it daily throughout the day for my quick makeup touch. (Great for face powder and blush)

First time using Yes to Cucumber brand but I'm really liking it.

The smell of the cucumber is very refreshing and does a great job of wiping off my makeup.

I like that the wipes are not too thin, but sturdy enough to actually clean my entire face.

Interested to start using other products in this line.
