I wish I had an inspirational, paradigm-shifting or empowering story to answer this question with, but I don’t… I just wanted to do what my friends were doing (I was in seventh grade), and they were all wearing makeup…but not makeup to the Instagram-levels kids wear today — just simple things like pencil liner, lipstick, blush, powder. Or, if you were *really* fancy, you wore mascara, ooh-la-la!

No, I’m not going to the pool. Still too cold for that. But May is moving at light speed, and summer is quickly approaching, so I’m testing some “new to me” things. This makes me cringe to admit, but I haven’t been very good about wearing sunscreen lately… I know, I know. 🙁 Just been...

GIRL. I haven’t worn big lashes in how long? But it’s just like riding a bike! I’m also wearing a lot of glitter in this lady unicorn look, I know. 🦄 I was inspired by unicorns because my daughter is obsessed with them at the moment, and, let’s face it, so am I. Oh, and body glitter. I’m wearing it too because WHY NOT? FYI, body glitter has come a loooooong way since I wore it back in the day. This one from Urban Decay comes in a tube, and you kinda just put it anywhere — on your face,...
