Vibrating Mascara?

From the land of vibrating bristles.... first toothbrushes, now mascara? If you just can't seem to apply your mascara evenly, maybe you need battery operated help. Two brands now have jumped onto the vibrating wagon! Estee Lauder has TurboLash, with 7,500 vibrations per minute - that's $30. Then there's Lancome Oscillation, with 7,000 "micro-oscillations" per minute - that's $34. If those are too steep for your wallet, for about $14.99, there's SpinLash; the lower priced battery operated mascara that can be found at Target & CVS.

Being able to keep your mouth closed while applying mascara... priceless!

You can print up a ballot and bring it with you, so as not to forget your choices!
And just above my blog face is a link to early voting information!

Ticketing aggressive drivers

Broward County has begun an aggressive campaign against aggressive drivers. The Broward Sheriff has given the green light to ticket tailgating, horn honking, light flashing, speeding, lane changing drivers. City borders? No problem. Even if the officers are outside their jurisdiction, they can and will ticket aggressive drivers. You've been warned...

Celebrity Chef Series update

In an early post, I provided information about the Chefs headed to town - most of it's still the same except for the cancellation of Giada De Laurentis' appearance. Reason: either illness or scheduling conflict.

Davie accident fee update

There's been talk in the Town of Davie to charge for accident response; that is, if Davie police or fire rescue show up to your accident and you're at fault, the town will bill your insurance company close to $900! If your insurance refuses to pay, you get billed. If it cannot be decided who is at fault, both parties are billed. If you're a resident of Davie and your insurance refuses to pay, you would not be billed.
Originally, the proposal was for accident response anywhere in Davie and on the major highways served by the town. Now, the Town Council is trying a new version of the proposal whereby the fee would apply only to accidents on the turnpike, I-75, I-95, and I-595.
