Well, my world is a little random, much like my blog

My short attention span has me floating from one thing to the next all day.  On my typical day off, what happens is that I become obsessed with something, usually my makeup, then I become fixated on a sub category like mascara, or my current focus – false eyelashes.  I have yet to master the application of those, despite my ordering an obscene amount of all shapes and sizes from Amazon.

From there, I move on to what irritated me that very morning while scampering around the kitchen looking for a Nespresso pod that’s not decaf and stepping in dog pee, when I move on to twitter where I read ridiculous news stories like the one about the woman who got life in prison for killing her boyfriend with a stiletto – which he purchased for her.  Yes, you read correctly. He purchased his own murder weapon.  Imagine that.

By that time, I’m thinking of what form of internal self-care I’ll be partaking in that day so I don’t murder anyone with my own stiletto.  We all know the insides are just as important as the outside.  I’m wondering if I’ll do yoga, take a walk or snuggle my pup, but I decide on picking an affirmation card which reads: ‘I am Love, I am Purpose’.  I love that I am love and purpose but can I remember that when my laundry is piling up and I have no motivation to do anything about it and try not to be hard on myself?

Anyway, by mid-afternoon I’m winding down and looking for something to make for dinner. So, I curl up in my reading chair and go on TMZ to read the latest on the happenings of Hollywood (I’m still distraught over Brangelina 😒). I’ve also passed several mirrors at this point and noticed that my lipstick is still on from the morning, which is epic and needs to be shared with all my girlfriends, so I start texting them pics and details, and then suddenly I’m on Google in search of the latest makeup trends and what’s on sale at Sephora.

You get the idea.  I have an odd obsession with current social events, all things beauty related,  and I’m trying to stay sane.  But at the end of the day I look into my 10 x magnifying mirror and check on my pores and look for blackheads on my chin just like everyone else.  I have insecurities and hang-ups like everyone else.  I’m a work in progress like everyone else.  

I don’t claim to be an expert on anything, but I’ve been told that I should write a blog to share some of my favorite things with people because I am a product/procedure/device junkie who likes to test things simply because it’s fun and I’m trying to look forever 29.  I started this blog in 2014 for my friends so that they could find everything in one spot.  I didn’t take it seriously back then, but something inside is telling me to take it seriously now.  Skincare and makeup have always been my hobby.  When someone has a hobby, they spend a lot of time on it because it’s something they do for enjoyment.  While some people enjoy sports and others play music, I love to micro-needle the hell out of my face and I enjoy every painful second of it.

I test things on myself based on trial and error.  I don’t bother with the science of anything because either something works for someone or it doesn’t; no scientific proof needed other than actual results in my opinion. I’m aware that there are scientific reasons for everything, and even though I research the hell out of things from other people’s perspective (YouTube, Blogs, Instagram, etc), there are times when I’ll purchase something that isn’t a great fit for me even though it’s perfect for someone else.

I want to share with you what I’ve tried, what I love, and some of my other life experiences as well.   Feel free to leave comments and tell me your thoughts.

Thanks for visiting my blog and happy reading!
