Get in shower.
Get out of shower.
Put on facial moisturizer.
Turn on my laptop.
Check weather/email.
Decide what to wear.
Get dressed.
Put goop in my hair.
Dry my hair.
Put on blemish cover-up thing on blemishes. Ha. AKA zits.
Put on liquid foundation.
Put on a bit of powder foundation.
Put on Benefit's Dandelion powder (gives you a bit of color).
Curl eyelashes.
Put on eyeliner.
Put on Mascara.
Put on chapstick.
Well, everything is the same until you get to dry my hair. Lately, after that step I've skipped everything but Dandelion and curl my eyelashes. I'm going au natural.
I've had an insecurity about my acne since I was, like, 12 so this is a big deal for me. I don't like going without foundation because then you see my face's flaws. Actually, you could still see them with the foundation but somehow I felt like I could hide behind that. If you think I'm insane, I'm not. I remember an Oprah show I randomly watched a long time ago where she had every audience member go without make-up. I think they had all been challenged to go a week without makeup and then their last day they got to see Oprah. Like it was a prize or something. Then Oprah had people on the show who have worn make-up since they were, like, 12 (sound familiar?) talk about how naked and insecure they felt without makeup but Oprah made it better and showed them they shouldn't have to hide behind the powder and gunk. I remember watching this when I was young and thinking they were ridiculous. Only problem is that's pretty much how I was all through middle school, high school and college. Thankfully, things have changed lately and now that I am away from the school/peer pressure atmosphere I've been able to lighten up a bit. I still wear it when I'm going out and want to look pretty. However, for the first time I can go out without all the gunk on my face and be comfortable. I wonder if Oprah would like to hear my story.
That's So Shway
Sticking on the Oprah kick this post suddenly took on, I got a letter from her yesterday in the mail. Well, not Oprah personally. More like her people that run her magazine, O. So they'll give me 12 issues for $12. Sweeet! I don't even read her magazine but $1 an issue is a steal. Plus, she has good book recommendations.

This is somewhat refreshing to hear. I can't stand the fact that Ladies wear makeup. To me, it just looks fake. I want the real deal. Also, if it does get intimate, I definitely don't want to taste lipstick / makeup or have it rub off on me. Our culture is sick for having invented such an awful thing as makeup.
Here's my typical morning:
Pee in shower
Wash in the toilet
Give myself a facial
Turn on my neighbour
Check whether I'm breathing or not
Decide what Y-fronts to wear
Get dressed
Put poop in my hair
Style it
Squeeze zits unti my face is a big red lump
Put on powder foundation
Put on lots of liquid foundation
Rub tomato ketchup into my cheeks (gives you a lot of colour)
Cut my eyelashes
Put on eyeliner (blue)
Put on my heels
Go to work (I'm a brick-layer).
All in all... we're pretty similar. ;)
Ps: you forgot to brush your teeth... tut, tut.
