I hate it when I don't update for even a week, because it makes updating after that just so much harder. How do you come back? What do you write about? Do you say sorry for our absence when everyone has already left?
Ugh, I totally hate this side of me.
So what have I been up to? Oh, just about EVERYTHING!!
First and foremost, my 10 year anniversary with the hub is tomorrow!! We went to his junior prom together, originally "as friends," but as the prom date loomed closer, our friendship just naturally grew into well, a love story! 10 years later, we've gotten married, we've adopted a puppy, and we're living our lives with each other as support. I know, that sounds totally cheesy, but I do love CHEESE! Yum.
Work has also been kicking my arse. No idea if I shared this before, but I've been working at Sephora as a secondary source of income since last December. My other job starts at 7:30 in the morning, and lately, it's just not as stimulating. I get a natural high when I'm busy at work, but unfortunately the lab hasn't been as busy as everyone would like. Everyone is in panic mode - are we getting laid off or are we going to be safe for another month? Sephora on the other hand, has been super fun and exciting! I love love love makeup, and I love hanging around with other makeup addicts all day long! But I've realized that I really love showing makeup to people who are mostly new to makeup. Newbies tend to be more easily wowed by all the awesome products in the store - the super savvy people tend to be alread have bought or have tried everything already. On the bright side, I love it when I help people who have been using a recently discontinued product for 5, 7, or 10 years find a replacement that's even better!
So.. some brands and products that totally rocks but probably haven't been introduced to you:
CoverFX
