1. Lottery? Through the work pool. I hate wasting the money. But last year I came back from my two week vacation, only to find out a bank pool in my area had won a HUGE power ball. I was horrified I'd be the only one showing up to work on Monday.
2. Steps? I used to. I was fanatic about getting my 10k+ steps. I would jog in place to get my count up. I would run back and forth in my very tiny yard. My neighbors must have thought I was nutso. I clearly was. I'm much happier not to.
3. Make up? Not much. CC cream, blush, bronzer, eyebrows. I spend maybe 2-3 minutes and grade myself a solid C - I'm not a pro at it by any means, but I (hopefully) am not walking around with a face that's a different color than my neck.
1. Once this year I put money in a pool with some moms from the kids’ school. Other than that, no.
2. Nope. I’m lucky if I close my move ring on my Apple Watch daily.
3. I wear concealer to cover my eye circles, bronzer, mascara, eyeliner. I start out with lipstick but I never remember to reapply it. I would say a B. I wear enough to look professional but I don’t care about it enough to spend time getting better at it.

1. Lottery? Rarely. We'll buy scratch-offs and Mega Millions or Powerball a few times a year. When we do buy them, I really hope to win just enough money to pay off our debts, do some upgrades around the house, and go on a nice trip.
2. Steps? The only time I do is if we have some sort of challenge going on for our wellness program where I can get points toward the $100 incentive (paid out 3 times a year).
3. Makeup? I wear a pressed powder foundation, face powder over that (because I have oily skin and need more protection against shine), blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara. It takes me about 5 minutes to apply everything. I give myself a C+, I'm probably average. I'd like to learn to do a smoky eye with eyeshadow and generally use multiple colors to make my eyeshadow look better.

1. I dont play, but DH does and knows that in order to support his habit I need enough money to install a lazy river and buy a condo at the beach. I get excited if I get scratch offs as a gift though. 2. My Fitbit goal is 8000. Now that I am working out consistently again I usually hit it. 3. BB cream, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara. BareMinerals foundation if I have a meeting, date night or plans with friends. L'oreal works for other days so I dont feel meh. My ability is about C level though.

1. Lottery? I don't but DH does. If there was a work pool I'd put in money for sure.
2. I could know if I checked. I wear a garmin at all times that tracks my steps but it's not a goal for me. I do get a weekly email telling me how I fared in some random weekly step challenge.
3. I wear BareMinerals foundation and lipstick...that's it. I guess I apply it fine but overall I'm a D- right? Cause apparently I'm not doing much at all. I do wear glasses and so feel like that makes eye makeup irrelevant. Am I right about that?

1. Nope 2. Nope 3. I do the basics. Some lotion, foundation, blush, shadow, mascara and lipstick. Natural looking not fancy. I’d give myself a solid C.

mustardseed2007 I leave a pair of glasses in my car for driving at night and if I have left the house without make up but need to run into the store. So, you're good!

I almost never buy lottery tickets. I think about it sometimes, but I feel like the "what if" might be addictive.
I changed jobs and now I'm quite a bit more active, so I have no idea. Probably still not 10k steps though.
I wear powder, blush, eyebrow liner, eyeshadow and mascara on court days. Nothing on office days. My ability is a D, but I just blend blend blend and it somehow all works out.
1. Do you play the lottery? (Work pools count, even if you're not the one going out and buying the tickets.) Nope, not really. Once in awhile I might pitch in to a work pool but that's about it.
2. Do you know how many steps you get daily? Something terrible. When I wore a FitBit it was like 3,000 on average. I sit at my desk all damn day.
3. How much/what makeup do you wear on a normal workday basis? If you wear makeup, what letter grade would you assign to your ability to put it on? I wear a lot, but it looks very natural. It's all BareMinerals brand. Concealer, liquid foundation, blush, eye shadow primer, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara. I also use Rodan and Fields Soothe skincare, so I put on two different lotions and a sunscreen underneath the make up too. I have terrible skin and all that product surprisingly keeps it in check better than when I go bare faced. I'd probably give myself a B. I can do a solid natural look, but can't do much beyond that. I try to do nicer eyes when I go out and it doesn't look all that different.
I got my fitness tracker to prove that I do get up and move around at work and not just sit in my chair the whole damn day. This was more to prove a point to DH and my chiropractor. Chiro has been impressed, DH not so much.
mustardseed2007, I think I wear makeup more often when I wear contacts because then I can see my giant circles that my glasses normally hide.
1. I will play if the jackpot is huge. Also, my kids love scratchies so I buy those maybe 1-2x per year. 2. I do keep track through my Fitbit. I aim for 10k per day and 30-40 mins of activity at least 5 days per week. I average about 75k steps per week. 3. Makeup- when I worked in an office I wore foundation to cover unevenness, dark circles, and thousands of freckles. I wore eyeliner and mascara and a tiny bit of shadow. My glasses are really thick and make my eyes look so small. I always felt the need to highlight. I would also gel my eyebrows - they can get a little crazy even when just waxed. I was not great at any of it. A C, I’d say. Now it’s just a bit of mascara. My clients don’t care.
1. Almost never 2. Very low. I have not hit my move goal on my watch once since I injured my back 3. Concealer, eye liner, mascara, eyebrow liner, eye shadow that I bought by accident as bronzer. Summer makeup is a B and winter is a C minus. I am not great at choosing products and/or I am cheap. Summer is much easier as I look less like death to begin with and less effort is involved.
mustardseed2007 - I think it depends on the glasses. I just got some that are late 80s big and I feel like they draw a circle around my eyes so if I have those on my eyes better be on point. I wear them to sports so that is the opposite of what would usually happen - I would normally look like a slacker at sports but now it’s like check out my eyes.
2. I have no idea. I get at least a 45 min workout most days and never sit down when my kids are awake because almost 2-year-old boy.
3. I wear makeup everyday. I have lash extensions so just put a little liner and mascara on my lower lashes and no other eye makeup. Then concealer, a little foundation, powder and lipstick. If I’m going out at night I’ll do something with my eyebrows and add a little blush. I’d give myself a B.
1. On extreme rare occasions, I will join a mega pool at work. Very rare. Having said that, I have an elderly aunt that sends us scratch offs for birthdays and I have a stack unscratched. Maybe be a jackpot in there! Ironically, our wedding favor was a scratch off in a packet sealed with a sticker saying something like “hope you get as lucky as we did.”
2. I would like to say 10k. But most days, around 6k. We do work challenges a lot so I am aware of how much I just sit on my ass.
3. Moisturizer with SPF plus a BB cream, every day. Sometimes mascara. Always lip balm. Super basic.
1. We play when it gets big and hits the news just to dream. Sometimes we have an office pool, and I always play. I don't want to be the one left behind.
2. A am pretty fanatical about hitting 10000 average. Its pretty easy in the summer, but during the coldest months, it's more challenging.
3. I always wear BB cream, bronzer, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, and lip gloss. My a ability is a C.
TTMA BB cream. Do you use it like concealer or all over? I would skip makeup but my face has weird brown and weird brown areas. It gets worse every year. I tried two lotions for evening and both made my eyes red. Can’t win, so a magic product....

I use it as foundation. Maybe I don't know what I am doing? Foundation started to feel heavy to me and would settle in the cracks and wrinkles and make me look older. This is really light and evens out the skin.

This. I do the same so hopefully we aren’t both wrong!

1. I play the lottery very rarely, usually when the jackpot is large. 2. I shoot for 6,000 steps per day, but lately I have either been really low or well over 10,000. 3. I wear CC cream only. I give myself a D- for makeup.
2chatter, I use IT cosmetics. I've used Smashbox and Urban Decay, but keep coming back to IT.
FFC? I got tipsy one day and ordered the little giant ladder and the IT Cosmetics starter pack from an infomercial binge. Aside from the ladder being very heavy, I’m very happy with both. I still buy everything from the IT package, but separately
