No, You’re the one that’s Aging

I'm in denial about a lot of things but the two major things that I'm in denial about are my age and my weight. Every morning I wake up and ask myself, "what is wrong with this mirror?" I see my friends after a long time and I think, "God, they are so old." I…

More Deep Thoughts on Shallow Subjects.

"And when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept for there were no more worlds to Conquer" ~ Han's Gruber, Die Hard (1988) That's the way I feel when I look at my makeup collection. I went to Ulta today. I was there for easily an hour. I bought nothing. I picked up…

Can you see my age in this?

I recently went on a bit of a shopping spree. After possibly over a year of hating Macy's, momma came home and was rewarded with a treasure trove of fashion. I bought so so many things that I absolutely love, could-not-possibly-live -without, so-cute-I-can't-even-stand-it clothes. Some of it was summer clearance, some was fall basics, and…

Audacity: More than just a word

Hello. I just wanted to take a minute to shit on the Lancôme Auda(city) in Paris palette, if that's okay. I went and bought said palette when it was on sale this week at Ulta's 21 days of beauty sale. It was half-price. That's most of the reason why I bought it. From the pictures…

A Penchant for Aging Disgracefully

I have a real penchant for going overboard with things. (That's going Ham for my fellow millennials.) I don't always give a shit about something but when I do. I give at least two shits. It should come as no surprise to regular readers that my obsession du jour is makeup and skin care and…

Never one to half-ass something, I have made it my business to learn about all things beauty. Actually that's not true. I half-ass almost everything…

My neck, my back,…

The way I talk about myself on here you guys probably think I'm some sort of disgusting swamp monster. I guess I should put a picture up to dissuade you of this. Here is one I took of myself yesterday:See, I look fine. I'm really mastering my everyday eye look. Don't you think? Look at…

Sisyphus: Another How Not to Gym Blog

So here I am again on the treadmill. Its confession time!First, you should know that I have been logging my calories into MyFitnessPal for at least four years. Never missed a day. I'm pretty good at it. I have most of the nutriional facts for the stuff I regularly eat memorized, and MyFitnessPal can take…

Putting the “T” in Toenail

As yet another summer draws to a close, I am once again overwhelmed with the annual realization that I hate sandals. I know that's not a popular opinion but hear me out: They are ugly. They make your foot look ugly. They end your leg ugly. There, I think I've made my point. No one…

Deep Thoughts on Shallow Subjects

Today's word prompt, shallow, has my name all over it. I feel like everything I write about on here is shallow and I'm okay with that. I don't think I'm shallow in real life but this isn't real life. This is a blog. I won't go into my whole sob story again. You can find…
