Neglect

Lately, I've been feeling like I've been kind of disconnected from everyone. I am tired when I get home from work and I don't feel like talking on the phone or writing an email. I used to be so good about keeping in touch and all of that business but now it seems like work and fatigue has gotten in the way. If I have neglected anyone reading this I am sorry and I will try to do better in the future.

It's that time of year again

I found them in Target. Pumpkins are to me what "the precious" was to Gollum!

PSA

I know that there are more pressing things that we need public service announcements for, like AIDS prevention, saying no to drugs and preventing genocide, but I have something that must be said. If you are a person who goes to the gym in the morning PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE brush your teeth before you go. This morning I struggled to get out of my bed and go to the gym. I was just getting over feeling salty because I was up at 5:37 am and on the treadmill when a man got on the treadmill next to me. All would have been well if he wouldn't have started huffing and puffing. With each huff and each puff my nostrils were assaulted with his HOT LIKE FIRE morning breath. It was quite off-putting. It was all I could do to finish my workout and run out of there, nose hairs singed. So, for all of you folks who like to get up early and go work out, please take the extra 2 minutes and brush your teeth. Your fellow gym buddies will thank you.

Sephora is of the Devil

So today I went to Sephora for some blotting papers. Things went awry from the moment I stepped inside. I got my blotting papers and was headed to the check out when the Carol's Daughter display caught my eye. I have heard all the hype so I stopped to browse. I grabbed some leave in conditioner and was headed back to the check out when I decided I would check out the mineral foundation. I have heard people raving about it and thought I would see what the chatter was about. It was then that things took a turn for the worst. I found a colorist and she sat me in the chair and put on the makeup. It looked kind of ashy on me and she told me that because I didn't have any major skin breakouts, the mineral stuff wouldn't really do anything for me. I decided against the foundation but she broke out this HOT bronzer that looks good under powder. While she was talking about the bronzer, I figured I should ask about how to do a smokey eye. SW knows how to to do the smokey eye and I want to be up with the trends so I asked Lavonda, my fabulous colorist for the day. We talked about my oily eyelids and the way that I can combat them. She did a great smokey "day" eye and told me how to tailor the look for a night out. She also broke out this shiny lipgloss. By the end of the session I looked FINE. I mean SEXPOT fine. Of course, I wanted to recreate the sexpot look on my own and that is how I got caught up. I spent way too much money and when they told me the total I made sure to put one thing back so I could sleep tonight, but I haven't spent money on makeup for a while and I will look so sassified this fall!
