So I know I told you about my bag obsession. Even though we have not thoroughly delved into that topic (it is really too deep to start with) I do have another obsession to fill you in on… MAKEUP! Well truly beauty things in general. I have an obsession with Sephora, Ulta and really anywhere I pass a makeup, beauty, skin care or even perfume counter. My makeup table is crazy! Like literally CRAZY! And what is even crazier is I do not wear makeup every day. I go through spurts where I wear makeup all the time and then I go through spurts where I have to knock the dust off of everything! And it is not because I don’t enjoy doing any sort of a beauty routine, because I do! But I REALLY enjoy sleep, so I take advantage of the 15 minutes I would use at the table to make me look a little more presentable and use it on my pillow instead. And here lately it even seems that blow drying my hair before I went to bed with wet (read: frizzy in the morning) hair seems to be just a little too much effort. Is it because I am running on fumes these days? I don’t know… but it is what it is. I will try to make more of an effort since this aging skin is not getting any younger, lol.

I will tell you that one thing I look forward to every month is my ipsy subscription! It truly makes me do my makeup at least once a month. I must test the new items and somehow that leads me to a full face of makeup! But I love (most) of what I get! If you are a beauty fanatic, it is totally worth the $10 per month to have new items shipped to your door to try! The items can be full size or trial, makeup or beauty, and even tools/makeup brushes. My most favorite eyeshadow brush came from an ipsy bag! My niece, Emily, loved Birchbox as well. But I never ventured out to that box. I believe it is more beauty related (meaning hair care, skin care, perfume) but I am not 100% sure. I have also done the Sephora box subscription and I loved it. But my credit card was compromised at one point and it was such a hassle to get it updated that I never messed with it, but I did love it!

Maybe one day I will do a makeup tutorial… haha! I literally laughed the entire way through that sentence. That “tutorial” would be, learning what not to do presented by The Other Kim K! But I will tell you, it would be entertaining. Especially if Emily joined in. You have never seen anything funnier that the two of us (in our Spanx, I must add) doing our hair and makeup on the cruise! Of course the room had terrible lighting and I remember Emily telling me “you just put tease where bootycall goes”. I promise you these are eyeshadow shades, lol. Any way we called our room “Salon 424”. It was entertaining. Our humor is very similar to the Dollar Gentral (Hannah & Kaylee) girls! We manage to laugh at ourselves in all aspects. We like to embrace the good, the bad and the very ugly, lol.

My point to all of this craziness is treat yourself! If your obsession (or if you are like me obsessions) is not makeup find something to give yourself every month. It could be shoes, health/fitness, cooking, chocolates or even wine! There are all types of clubs/boxes that will ship to your door! Have it done! Treat yourself! Don’t wait on a special event! Enjoy everyday!
