Tell me something good.................

It’s been a long six weeks give or take, full of lots of change.  I have purchased a house and I have to say for the American dream it’s a major pain in the ass!  However I am holding out that after the dust settles I’ll enjoy said pain in the ass, AKA my house.  So most of my time and energy has been tied up in house things.  Couches, rugs and light fixtures oh my!  But I’m ready for some spring to lighten up my days.
BB cream, have you heard yet?  Beauty Balm is an product that comes our way from the Far East.  It’s like the all in wonder makeup treatment product.  Until recently you had to surf eBay to get your hand on these awesome products.  That’s what I did and it’s a product every woman needs.  Men can use it too; it’s tinted so blend well!  It has sun screen, anti ageing components, moisturizers, healing agents, you name it it’s got it.  Sephora has a collection of bb cream to try, each with there own properties.  Dr. Jart is the new one I'm trying.
I love color and I think you can add a little and still keep it classy like.  My renewed fav way to do so?  Colored mascara is an awesome way to do so.  Its softer then black, fun and any age can embrace this trend.  Hard candy has some fun colors for a very good price.  YSL whom has wonderful high end mascara as a rule also has fun shades.  If you’re too scared to don a full set of bright blue lashes, just put them on the bottom.
With so many changes going on in my life I need to remember to take it all in stride, I can’t wait to finally put the litigation nightmare behind me.  Almost 5 years took away so much and while I don’t enjoy trudging, I can’t wait to take some of my power back.  Small steps instead of big leaps, or so they tell me.  But today I can say with a full heart I am grateful.  Yesterday was what would have been Johns 36th birthday.  Suki said she wanted to sing happy birthday to the stars for him, so he would hear.  I was moved more then words.  So with that, my cup is full.
