Inchie Lipstick Day

I never use lipstick, but I do like all the nice colours

and the smooth look of a brand new lipstick!

Throughout the ages, controversy has surrounded lipstick.

British Parliament banned it in 1770 calling it a devilish attempt

to trick men into marriage. They likened it to witchcraft.

Lipstick has been known to contain poisonous materials.

It is said Sarah Bernhardt created a scandal by applying “lip rouge” in public.

Queen Victoria considered it impolite, yet Winston Churchill thought

it was an excellent morale booster during WWII

and George Washington supposedly was a lipstick wearer.

Inchie Hammock Day

Today it is Hammock day.

I like hammocks, but I don't have the patience

to lie in it for longer than 5 minutes :-)

I love Horses Day

I don't love horses!

But I do love watching them run, they are very majestic.

I used a little stamp this week, it was just perfect!

Inchie chocolate with almond Day

I found this picture of a dark chocolate bonbon

with an almond on top and thought it was great for this inchie.

A lot of people like this combination, but I am not one of them,

I prefere milk chocolate without almond :-)

US Postage Stamp Day

On July 1, National U.S. Postage Stamp Day recognizes

the ease and simplicity with which we can send and receive mail. 

A stamp represents payment for the delivery of a letter or a package.  

The United States issued its first postage stamp on July 1, 1847.

At that time, stamps were not required. 

A letter could be mailed without a stamp and delivery paid for by the recipient. 

In 1855, the postage stamp became mandatory.
