Okay, alright...

Why did I start this blog?

Partly because I wanted somewhere to keep all my links and blogs that I like to read.  I used to use Google Reader back in the day, before that Bloglines.  But those made me lazy and I never really read anything.  It was dumb.

Second part(ly) is because I have neglected my looks for too long.  I used to really work at my hair, skin, makeup but somewhere along the way I got lazy (do you see a theme here?  hmm?)

Background of my laziness

One day, I cut my hair off in one of those styles that never has to be fixed.  Just wake up, spritz some water on it and run a comb through it.  It went through several different lengths from below shoulder to super-short again.  I'm more of a short hair girl.  I like it short, it fits my fat face.  Some people think fat faces can't do short hair, but it works for me.  Long hair just makes my pointy chin and nose more pointy.

I'm also lazy about getting my hair colored.  I have had gray hair since I was a child.  Grays here and there and everywhere.  I also have a cool (maybe not) white splotch of hair above my right eye.  If I don't color my hair, I look awfully old and witch-like...especially with the pointy chin and pointy nose.  :\

Somewhere along the way, I fell off taking care of my skin.  I had some problem skin my 20s.  Zit city.  It was awful and it wasn't 'til I moved to Arizona that it cleared up.  I live in California now and I guess this weather is good for my skin, too.  When I gave up my skin care, I didn't notice how quickly I aged.  Now I have small lines appearing on my eyes and a nice fat crease on my forehead.  That one gets to me.

And when I gave up skin care, I also got lazy about makeup.  Don't get me wrong, I still bought makeup and I still wear it, but I could do better.  It is what it is there.

So there it is, innerwebs.

What I'm doing now

Recently I've started looking around and getting info and signing up for places like Birchbox, MyGlam/Ipsy, Beauty Bar Sample Society.  Getting out there and trying things that I've not heard of or used before will help me make some decisions on what to use or what I need.

I recently did a big purge of pretty much everything in my bathroom.  Soaps, cleaners, toners, moisturizers, creams, serums, etc all went in the garbage.  I'm starting over.  Starting anew.  Awakening after all this time of neglecting my self.  We'll see how it goes.  :)
