Hello to all my Internet (secret and not so) Admirers!
It’s already February – how did this happen?? Next week is Valentine’s Day! You either are like “woo” or “boo” although a few of you are “WOOHOO!!!!” – much like the house I passed on my way home from dinner with Captain Wentworth last night that had a full-on Christmas level lighting scheme and major heart shaped décor going on!! I’m going to be sexist and assume that’s a female who decorated that house and by GOD her mate better deliver next week or she’s totally gonna craft them a noose with raffia and glitter, that’s all I’m sayin’.
My current thoughts on Valentine’s day are summed up thusly. All is well with Captain Wentworth and we have exchanged those three little words (“You are cool.” No, wait. “Like your butt.” No that wasn’t it either, hmmm…) so 2019 Valentine’s day by default is a big thumbs up. It’s also fun when you have kids because you get to put together vday cards or bake cookies and make them little presents and they are super happy which is cute! Last year I was single and I have to say – folks, if you are online dating right now – GET OFF THE GODFORSAKEN APPS! It was like the proverbial singles club meat market of days of yore when people actually used to meet without electronics involved! I’m talking you’d exchange 2 sentences with someone on an app and they were like “…this app sucks – GIVE ME YOUR NUMBER!! Let’s be REAL – WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF????????” You. You sir. You sir are *exactly* what I am afraid of!
So I repeat, shut those profiles *down* for the next two weeks people – It’s hell out there!
Speaking of hell – try going to a restaurant on Valentine’s Day! You’ll be lucky if the you can get into Denny’s or the 99! Better to do dinner at home the night of then do dinner out a few days before or after – although the Saturday after will also be pretty slammed. In any case, whether you are in romantic love with only yourself (which you should be in any case, cuz you rooooock!) or also in love with a significant other, or even a wee one, I wish you a very lovely Valentine’s Day full of beauty, joy, and awesome take-out cuz I’m telling you the restaurants are fucked, don’t even do it. ❤😃
Product Review: L’oreal Paris, Unbelievea Brow Gel, Light Brunette = 5 stars
Yes, yes, I know the name is ridiculous but guuuuuuuurl (and you 2 guys reading this part!!!) it is AWESOME. This is hands down the most perfect eyebrow product I have used so far, and I’ve been filling in my brows at least a little bit for at least 12 years, I think. Why fill your brows? Well see for yourself below. I personally feel it lends a certain youthfulness to the face to have a fuller brow, as long as you don’t go crazy with it and look like Joan Crawford (who had completely normal eyebrows when she was younger if you go back and look at older pics!).
Yes, this picture sucks, I know.
I love this product because it’s a doe foot applicator so it doesn’t drag on your eyebrows like a pencil or brush with wax, and then there is a little mascara brush AND little make-up brush so you can comb thru and set your brow with precision. Plus it’s more or less waterproof although I’d have to do a swim test to really know for sure as I’m not hopping in the shower then taking a selfie for you guys – my beauty blog dedication only goes so far! But I will say after I wash my face it’s still halfway there, which is handy if you are on vacay and don’t have all the time needed for your normal toilette!
I used the Light Brunette shade and it is absolutely perfect for my dark brown hair and again, fills smoothly without giving you the ubiquitous Joan Crawford-type look you see going around! I wholeheartedly recommend!
And with that! Time for a coffee… Maddy ❤
