This morning started around 1:15am when my normal tossing
and turning began. Once I knew for sure
that I was not falling back to sleep any time soon I decided to utilize my on
demand cable services to catch up on the three episodes of Chelsea Lately that
I had missed this week from falling asleep too early. Hours later and well into my morning news
cast I did finally fall back to sleep, but was up and in the shower by
8:30. I had the intentions of filming a
video on products I had tried recently that I did not like, but my lack of sleep
and the return of colder weather is catching up to me. I decided today was a day to dress warm and
comfortable (aka a fashion felony) and threw on a pair of mom jeans that
belonged to my Aunt who passed away three years ago from breast cancer
(Clothing has its sentimental moments for me. I’m known to hang onto clothing items from
family members that have passed. I can
sometimes be found wearing a flannel shirt that belonged to my grandfather or
jewelry that was my grandmothers, etc.) and a 2007 sweatshirt from one of my
favorite car shows I go to every year. I
also let my hair air dry because I am trying to be nicer to it these days. Needless to say, no one who saw me today
would take me seriously if I told them I live and breathe beauty and
fashion.
Today was a lot of picture taking for me which I don’t
particularly enjoy. It might be my least
favorite part of blogging. I generally
snap pictures on my old school flip phone (which doesn’t even have a flash as
I’m sure you can tell) because I can’t be bothered buying batteries for my
camera all the time and it doesn’t take very good close up photos anyhow. I also can’t be bothered sweating over
lighting and layouts and staging the perfect photo. Well, I could be if I could afford the proper
equipment, but for now I’ll just do what I can with what I’ve got. I probably need to start dating some guy who
fancies himself a semi-professional photographer, so if you know of any you’d
like to recommend submit your suggestions here.
Hehe. I also had to touch up the
polish on one of my nails because I used it as a tool yesterday to pry open
difficult to open packaging a few times.
My nails usually end up collateral damage when my tomboy side shows
itself. I’m just thrilled they are
finally recovering after my recent trips to NYC. I don’t know what it is about plane rides,
but my nails become instantly brittle and unrecognizable. Most people worry about how their skin will
hold up. I have to worry about the
tragedy that will befall my nails instead.
Today my new campaign starts so while I did
still spend time doing some product research I also used social media to start
recommending a few of my favorite products this campaign. Here is one of those products.
Beaded Escape Toe Loop Sandals |
If you are interested they can be purchased at http://showard.avonrepresentative.com/
Even
though I’m not dressed up I still tend to wear some sort of jewelry and today's feature
product are these rings called the Loving Stackable Ring Set which can also be purchased on sale at http://showard.avonrepresentative.com/.
And since I don’t for some reason tend to ever buy brow
products which should have been the next addition to my style changes for the next
two weeks I pulled out a L’Oreal Visible Lift Color Lift blush in Rose Gold
Lift instead.
After checking into a few orders that were placed on my
website, I spent some time jotting down addresses of those customers in order
to send out little thank you gifts. Fast forward to major social media interaction with my
fellow Makeup Maven winners and some secret planning for a few fun challenges
coming up.
Then starts my normal nightly routine of listening to sitcom reruns while editing videos and finishing up my journal entries. I was also pleasantly surprised with some catching up style electronic chitchat thanks to a friend contacting me that I haven't talked to in a while. Tonight was more normal for me and I even stayed
up to watch the late showing of E! News.
Tomorrow is a new beauty day. You
just never know what a new day might bring.
