...CAN YOU GO WITHOUT?
....we
all know that make-up is an awesome powerful tool.....it’s a way for us to
express yourself....makes us feel attractive...but is it all its cracked up to
be...what it its something you can not go without.....can it be an obsession? A
crutch? An addition? Could you go without any make-up at all for a day? A
week? A month?.....Could you be seen in public with a naked face????
I
read on the internet that 70% of chicks won’t leave the house without their
make-up......more than half said they wore make-up 24/7........wow! I for one
can not imagine wearing make-up 24/7.....I have never been on of those gals who
carry their make-up & do numerous touch ups...I do however like to refresh my
lip color...sometimes....it is what it is....it is also not unusual for me to
bare my naked face at the grocery store....movies, shopping...heck I even bare
all at work.....no biggie.
Its not about taking a sabbatical from wearing
make-up because not wearing make-up is better or bad...that’s not the
case....its more about taking a break from make-up to gain a better
understanding of the relationship you have with make-up. Why do you feel the
NEED to “fix” your face before leaving the house...or seeing a friend...and for
some gals...they fix their face before they go to the gym...ugh! Do you really
need to shellac your face for people to notice you...can you feel comfy in
anything less than contoured cheeks and long luscious lashes?
Make-up
is a very powerful tool with the ability to transform...to incite imagination
& creativity...but when the option to wear it or not turns into a
necessity...is it still just a tool???? Have you ever looked...I mean really
looked at your natural make-up free face? I know it’s a bit scary even thinking
about showing the world your bare face......but it is somewhat
liberating....could you do it?
I
think its so interesting to explore the relationship we as women ...and some
men...have with make-up...explore within ourselves why we wear it.....whether
you wear make-up or not..you do it for your own reasons...I am not judging you
nor should you judge me....we ALL need to do what makes us truly happy. I for
one can GO WITHOUT....

...no longer an option....not an option
...time to recharge the batteries......
..having it all…career..family..home..friends………let’s not
forget laundry…dishes…..cleaning the house….weeding the garden….blah blah
blah…..we as woman are old & believe we can have it all…….and we can….but
what happens when having it all sucks the life right out of us……leaves us no
time nor energy left for ourselves? ? I know for sure that we as woman put a
tremendous amount of stress & pressure on ourselves…is it a chick thing…I
don’t know…but being a daughter..a mother..a wife….a professional….all these
roles combined leave me for one feeling like there is no time for me to take
care of me…..sure sure…we have all heard it & many of us have said it……take
time for yourself…put yourself on your list….ha! My damn list is so long there
is no room to add me!

....50 & bald...
yep.....I did it...actually both...shaved my head & turned 50.....to be honest both are pretty cool!
I was kind of nervous the last few days leading up to my new "do"...lol or should I say my "no do" look..lol........originally I had planned to shave my head at my 50th bday party...the owner said lets do it on the dance floor for all to see.....at first I was cool with the idea...but after thinking about the mess, etc...and most important the significance of the act of shaving my head..I changed my mind.....shaving my head was something of a renewal and or rebirth of me for me....did I really want to share this experience with everyone? Nope...there are a few people in my life who I would love to share my head shaving experience with......one of which is my bbf of 45 years..yep...we have been gal pals for 45yrs....having my bff there felt right. So I did it..cost me $15....the stylist argued with me...didn't want to do it...I guess she did not realize I was a paying customer & she..the stylist was being paid to do a service......damn....but finally she did it & I LOVE IT!
I love it so much & have enjoyed the interesting kind of attention I have gotten only after a week...I am seriously thinking I may wanna keep the shaved head look for awhile....I will post pics for all to see....I also will blog about the crazy way people treat me as a bald chick.
My bday "weekend".....I call it that because as I said my long time bff came for the weekend...so we kicked off the weekend on Thurs night.....being together again is just like when we were young....we laugh till we cry....actually now that we are both 50..we laugh till be pee our pants.....true...sad...but true...lol We did some shopping on Friday morning before heading home....and by "home" I mean where were grew up....we were going up for the night to attend a bon fire at a fellow high school classmates...what a great night...so nice seeing kids we went to school with...to hear about their lives now.....I enjoyed it. We also had to do the local watering holes.....which is always fun...ya just never know who you are gonna meet...or in my bbf's case...ya just never know who is gonna hit on ya.....lol ......male..female....whatever.....I don't judge...lol
So all in all our quick trip home & back with my bbf was the best.....what a great time. I adore her....45 yrs....damn......that's a friendship!
We opened our house to friends for a very simple & delicious buffet meal prepared my another good friend...everything was yummy.....of course I didn't really eat till the next days...the Dirty Whore's Bath Water got the best of me....I drank my dinner as did ALOT of my gal pals....yes DWBW was our signature drink for the night......it kicked out butts.......but tastes so good.
Drunk....the gals laced up their corsets...yes I asked all the gals to sport a corset on my big drunken night out...and they did....we all looked HOT....and drunk......I remember waiting for everyone to get outside so we can hit the road.....I was sparwled out on the hood of a car in all my glory...that should have been an indication of where the evening was headed...lol To make a long story short...we danced...we drank..we laughed....we drank.....we had a great time. I am truly blessed by wonderful people in my life. .....bald & 50........what more can I ask for......

.....what a plan
….life sure does get crazy from time to time. I haven’t
blogged in a while…not because I haven’t has anything going on…that’s for
sure! Its more like I have been trying to get some sort of routine in
place….which has been a rough ordeal…still don’t have a game plan….and anyone
who knows me knows I NEED a game plan…call it what you want….I will admit I am
a list maker…..and follower…..I need to know what I am doing and or what I
should be doing at all times…..no fly by the seat of my pants kinda gal
here…..which is kinda funny…I haven’t always been like this….I thick to call my
life organized caos….as a child/teen I was a mess..my room was a pig pen…could
never find anything….now I have to have everything in its place from my
forks in the silverware drawer to undies in my panty drawer….it’s a sickness…I
KNOW!
…anyways…our family schedules have been jacked up…my hubby
& I both returned to work on the same day..however I am working days
& he is working afternoons…..you all know how that cuts into our
extra-curricular activities (wink wink) I am in bed …asleep when he gets home
& he is still snoozing when I get up…he does however get up in the morning
to talk to us ( my 16yr old daughter & me)……but unfortunately…I am
not a morning sex kinda gal & don’t even try to wake me up at 1am for sex
after I have been asleep since 9pm…..especially when I get up by 5am…damnit!
My hubby on the other hand is a anytime kinda guy….needless to say we are
having trouble “connecting” (wink wink) lately.
….so it’s just my daughter & me at home at night….so
whatever we have for dinner…I save a serving for my hubby to eat as his lunch
the next day….I of course pack his dinner in the morning when I pack my
lunch….that seems to be working quite well…..well…I guess we will see how it
works…my daughter & I are very interested in the whole juicing/vegetarian
thing…not so sure my hubby will enjoy it…lol
….trying to jive everyone daily schedule together is kinda a
pain in the ass….especially for someone like me who likes order order order in
her life……lol…like that’s happening in my daily life right now……like I
said organized caos – NOT!.....unorganized for damn sure. My “to do” list
is a mile long & growing…..
