peace and love!!!

Today I let some one do my face.
I am always disappointed when others put make-up on me. I always end up looking like an overly done, ashy (or trashy) outta-place brightly-colored prom queen. Not cute. Or I resemble a little girl who just played in her mom's stuff...(sigh) I'm not sure if it's lighting that makes one add more rouge to my temples or perhaps all that glittery white dust does actually look good on my brow bones....NOT. or maybe I'm just too picky ??? IDK . But I do know the first few seconds before I look at my finish self in the mirror is always awkward for me...and then I smile...and sometimes I lie " hmmmm, I like it"...nodding...and then boom, my eyes zoom in on those bright ass pink cheeks or that grey bluish tint on my lids, and I feel very very very ugly....yes make-up can make you look just as ugly as it can make you look pretty ...And today was not really any different. I actually did sorta like the eyes, but the cheeks were just too pink and that turned me off from the whole face. Pics were taken and some looked really nice, but in a fun- sprinkles- taste- the- rainbow kinda way...not an every day look.. The application it self was nicely done and the pampering was relaxing , but I am no prom queen so I had to wash it away before I went to work. I was relieved once I saw my own face return after a good sudsy scrub... blemishes and all.
Now, I will tell this beloved soul, whom I truly adore and totally love that I was not 100% happy with the job they did and make sure I'm wearing make-up so she won't ask to try again. LOL. or maybe I'll let her try again..I'm big on first mistakes and second chances. How else does one learn? improve? Especially since I despise lying and I know she put her all into it...
Still, at the end of the day, I have to feel comfortable with what I'm wearing...Ever see a girl dressed in high, skinny heels and a tiny tube skirt with a little butt cheek hanging out and you just know she wish she could start her day all over and choose a different skirt ??? Well, I don't want to ever be that girl .Feel me ?
So I must confess to her tomorrow that I rinsed it all off before I left for work and I will tell her why...and I'll be able to look my self in the face again and see the beauty of integrity glowing behind the make-up...

Looking the part ...Fake the feel till ya make it real!!!!

It is always important to come dressed and ready for the role you need to play. I am having a tough time with this one. Mother of 4, staying home in the day with my 1 year old and working nights takes it toll on my me time. Most mornings, it is easy to wake up and get the day started for the family then hours later look in the mirror and go "huh, what the hell zup with me?" Well I have had these occasions more than I'd like to confess.I know countless women do too. So what gives ladies ? We want to look our best, feel our best, but it's all adding up to 2nd best ???? I say " Hell no" to self neglect and I will have a romantic spring fling with my self this month of April. Yes, looney as it sounds I'm challenging my self to dolling up my face in the a.m. for the whole month. It is said that anything you do for 21 days or more turns into a habit...So it's worth a try!!! I think with a little more organization and preparation I'll be all glammed-up and guilt free in no time. Effort goes a long way...

working on my business cards this week-end !
be beautiful inside and out !
