Guess what day it is . . . Guess what day it is!! Not only is it hump day, but it's also National Lipstick Day. That's right. A whole day dedicated to this beauty staple. I must admit, I'm an advocate for these national days, mainly because they come with discounts and sales. Before I get into sharing which brands are offering sales today, let's get into short story time.

The other day, I did my make-up with a "light beat" and started thinking about something. This idea of perfection that so many of us have in our minds. I've been enhancing my make-up skills over time, which has been therapeutic since I view my make-up time as me painting the blank canvas that is my face. It's also a time during the day, where I can focus on self-care and get all philosophical at the same time. Nevertheless, it's truly about just starting, right? Making the decision that you want to do something and acting on that thought.
That moment when it's time to run Saturday errands, but you still want to be super casual and decide that a nude soft glow might detract from your wrinkled shirt. Disclaimer: I iron my clothes 99% of the time! When I was younger, it was a requirement for me to leave out of the house with my clothes ironed while looking presentable, and maybe on this day the presentable part was my make-up. To be honest, I didn't realize the intensity of the wrinkles until after I left out the door. . . of course. A reminder not to skip imperative steps, although perfection is overrated.
Have you ever had that moment when you find a cool item through Instagram? It's like you know that you don't need it, but it could definitely be your style if you gave it a try. Then, because of how our cookies are set up, advertisements of that product keep popping up on your feed, paired with a discount code then you're sold on making the purchase?! Yeah, so that might have happened to me with the Hipdot x Spongebob eyeshadow palette. This collaboration released around the same time as the Kyrie x Spongebob shoe collaboration and I got all excited thinking of ways that I could pair them together.
Interconnected are health and beauty, right? Sure, there are times when all humans do not feel like the most beautiful or healthy, and personally that is typically reflected in my appearance. I haven't quite mastered the whole, "never let them see you sweat," mentality. That's a work in progress. I'm human, and most of the time don't have the energy to fake the funk. Truth is . . . most of us have rough days and rough patches, and it's okay if from time to time in my rough patches, I look rough. Take me as I am not how you want me to be so said she as in me.
