Fuck him, you deserve much better. He's a cheating asshole.

2 hours after lunch and my stomach legitimately just growled. I am a black hole.

I like the bottles at Sally Beauty Supply.

A little side note that might be useful to someone, but next to all the bottles at Sally's they sell small fragrance "atomizers" (aka small refillable fragrance travel sprayers) that are cheap, spray really well, and are easy to clean. And that's saying something because I worked in fragrances for 2+ years and all the atomizers we sold were crap, lol. Just clean them with rubbing alcohol between putting a new fragrance in.

stephreloaded, I just thought of you because I am starving even though I ate breakfast 2.5 hours ago. Why is this happening?!

Inspiration:

Lips: Milani Lip Flash in In a Flash

I'm so excited about HRC being the Democratic presidential nominee. I was thinking during my drive this morning how awesome it is that in my lifetime I've seen gay marriage legalized and a woman run as a legitimate candidate for president (Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now...). I hope to see even more great changes!

I am grabbing drinks tonight with a guy I went out with 1.5 years ago. We faded out texting after 1 date and  I can't remember why. I do remember I thought he was pleasant, but honestly I can't recall much else about him or the date. If there was a real reason for the fade, I guess I'll remember tonight!

Congrats!

*poof*

No challenge today...I forgot!

In short: hate my undereye concealer today and going back to Pixi's corrector; I threw away UD Mildew liner after putting it on because it goes on terribly; and I'm going to get rid of the lip product I'm wearing. I like the color but the formula is so weird. It settles into my lips and just looks odd.

Face: Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Mousse, L'Oreal True Match Powder, Maybelline Instant Age Rewind in Brightener (I've been using Pixi Complexion Corrector and I like it TONS better than the Maybelline), Miliani Baked Bronzer in Glow as blush

Eyes: Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette (Milk Chocolate on lid, Salted Caramel in crease, Gilded Ganache on lower rim over UD 24/7 eyeliner in Mildew). Maybelline Brow Define and Fill Duo, NYX Brow Set, Cover Girl Clump Crusher Mascara

Lips: Revlon Lipstick in Snow Peach (it was put out when they released a few "retro" colors from the vault)

Hope you get to feeling better sweetchix!

I cut the tip of my pointer finger on a can last night while making dinner. It started bleeding in the middle of the night so now I have it wrapped up, but the wrapping is making it difficult to type/scroll today.

I'm making a to-do list for this week and I really want to accomplish it...stuff that will make me feel good to do, but gets pushed aside like taking books I don't want to a bookstore to sell/donate, go through my clothes to donate, etc. I also plan to buy a Christmas gift after work one day this week. My goal is to have my Christmas shopping completely done by September 1.

I'm having a hard time finding Milani stuff in general. My local CVS used to have it in store, but they completely removed the display a few months ago. I popped into Walmart and they had a really limited selection of Milani stuff. I finally stumbled across a Milani display at a Super Kroger, but didn't really have time to fully check it out; I plan to go back soon an scope it out.

Please try not to feel mad at yourself because you are asking some great questions that can lead to some awesome self-healing and self-awareness. It's so easy to kick ourselves when we are down, but really we should be gentle with ourselves as we would with a good friend. It may have happened, but it doesn't need to happen again with the right tools and self-reflection. I think it's a great step that you reached out to your therapist.

bl that is great news! I'm excited for you!

I went home sick yesterday from work. I slept most of the day and woke up around 11:30pm, so I stayed up until around 2am to catch up on Game of Thrones and then fell back asleep. When I woke up this morning, I felt a lot better physically, but mentally I'm still drained. At the forefront of my brain's constant goings is how to change my life. My job is fine, but I've maxed out of growth opportunity and the pay leaves so much to be desired. The feedback I keep getting is that my passion really shows, which I find surprising because I feel really un-passionate about my work for the first time in a long time. I love the city I live in, but on my current salary I cannot afford to live alone. There is a constant barrage that won't stop in my brain and it is mentally very taxing.

On the upside, my sisters are visiting this weekend. I'm looking forward to spending time with them!

I hope you were able to go about your day as you had planned.

Omg, how terrifying. I need to buy a seat belt cutter and a window breaker. I'm going to do now while I'm thinking about it.
