What would I do without all the men in my life? I have this guy and this guy and this guy… and now, the newest member of the team, this guy. I like to call him Trainer George. And basically, I pay him to force me to work out—because left to my own devices, I’m a lazy b*tch who’d sell her soul to Miss Vickie’s for a lifetime supply of salt and vinegar chips.
So George helps with that. He and I have logged a lot of “quality time” together over the past couple of months… even though I sometimes hate him (like when he makes me do these awful things called side crawls). Anyway!

But OMG, this was intervention-level stuff. Think goopy red lips, extreme amounts of bronzer, theatrical eyeshadow. (And this was an after-work bar. Imagine what happens when they’re not coming from the office?!?)
So I think it’s time I used this blog—my platform, as it were—for the greater good. We need to talk about this, because I do believe I’ve been an enabler for far too long. Keep reading »
Even though I’m more of a single-serving makeup kind of girl, there’s something about a pretty palette that makes me swoon. But it’s not just their obvious cuteness that gets me. I look at their expertly coordinating shades, all organized in neat little rows, and imagine that using them will make my life equally organized and therefore better.
