Ah....makeup

Angelia leaving was MUCH harder than I thought it would be. I thought I would be living in this life of bliss because she wasn't digging in my stuff, taking my makeup, clothes, shoes, & jewelry. I thought walking through her empty room without her junk piled high was going to be heaven. WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sure she is happy to hear this. The words "I told you so" will be ringing through Florida when she reads this. Anyway, after 3 days of no shower, cleaning up the wedding items & cleaning out her room with my mom.....I was totally depressed. I also had to go to work yesterday. Work for me on Wednesdays entails preparing for my Mary Kay meeting during the day & then holding the meeting in the evening. My consultants come & it's my job to train, motivate, & excite them. I LOVE my job. BUT when you feel like crap your soda loses it fizz if you know what I mean. Can I just tell you the words "I don't feel like it" were ringing through my head all day. Once I actually started to prepare for it & get my mind distracted I started to feel better. THEN.......came the shower & makeup. Ah.....beauty items....call me vain. I could care less. If putting on some makeup makes a girl feel better it's a good day. When evening arrived & my consultants came, I held my meeting. We all did marble foot spas, soaked our feet, gave ourselves foot massages, & got rejuvenated. By the time it was over I felt like a new person. When you concentrate on making others feel better it really turns you around. I told them how I had felt BEFORE the meeting & how much being with them had made me feel better. So in honor of my awesome Mary Kay job I thought I would entertain my friends & family with my before & after pictures that I show at my appointments. I had these taken a few months ago & got quite a kick out of it myself. I know, I know, some of you are gorgeous 24/7. Uh...not me. I need help.


Don't you love the hair in the first one?










I'm sorry, but not enough can be said for makeup.

Lori,

I need this. So I've never told you but I used to do Mary Kay, and NO, I'm not interested in doing it again :), but I could definitely use a little pick me up - and the one thing I need is some foundation....

SO, with all your spare time you spent with Leah, let's schedule a little get together, you and me, K?? We can laugh and cry at our lives right now!!

Love Ya!

Oh Lori, you know it's the inside beauty that counts, and you've got that as well as the outside beauty!

Hi Lori, I like all the responses to your blog. But Gwenda is so right also about inside beauty and that most of all makes you beautiful. All the things you do for others everyday in your life, both small and large things. I am SO proud of who you are. I love you, Mom
