One of my mini-resolutions or Daily Goals for a Fabulous 2013 is to do my hair & makeup on the same day. I was sharing this at our church Community Group & a lady there was genuinely confused about what I meant by "hair and makeup on the same day," I couldn't tell if she was horrified or never though to try it... Oh well. I will say that is an easy one, and one of my Daily Goals that I reach for a lot. I've realized through getting married last year & getting 'dolled up' for all those photographs how I've let my Texas-self slip & embraces the Mid-West philosophy. Mamma Kay says Missouri is the perfect place for tomboys. I really do enjoy feeling put together and feeling good about myself. I think there was a time (years) where my philosophy was 1) Sleep in more 2) I don't work with my boyfriend/fiancee/husband anyways so who cares what the men at work think 3) Don't look too young/trendy or it will diminish your credibility at a financial firm 4) It's below freezing you're glad I'm at work ... You get the picture. (No I'm not going to show you a picture. Ew.)
But we are on our way to a Fabulous 2013! I will say that the entrance of the "sock bun" to my life is amazing. I don't use a sock bun, I use a Pinterest tutorial where you tease the pony tail slightly. It's not as big. Not as trendy. Perfect for work! Who am I kidding... the soul mate of second-day dry-shampoo hair :)
I am also watching more tutorials on line to get inspiration & ideas. Here are some of my favs:
I also want to put together an easy 5 or 10 minute makeup routine for when it's my turn to be at work at 7 am. Today was one of those days. I did not wear makeup, just did my faux-sock bun. Resolution fail. (Good thing I accomplished 3 things on my Daily Goals list, so I'm not a complete failure!) I won't say who ~ but one beauty blog did a "5 minute makeup tutorial" & it started with, "Ok I've already moisturized, primed, put on foundation & concealer. Let's get started!" and I was all oh heeeeell no honey you cheated. But really, if there is a 5 minute makeup routine I need to find it. Maybe that's the holy grail of internet tutorials. At least Estee Lauder BB cream saves my life every day!
I did go to Dillard's for the Estee Lauder & Lilly Pulitzer GIFT WITH PURCHASE!!! I haven't bought a department store GWP since college when I only wore Clinique!! #tbt
Look at all these lovelies....
