I thought I looked funny today. I’d gone to the bathroom at lunch (didn’t go work out or I would’ve figured it out sooner) and in passing, mused how small my eyes looked. And just now, in the bathroom, while washing my hands, I looked up in the mirror, and…realized I’d forgotten to put on eye makeup this morning. What the…?! Who does that?! No wonder I got out the house early today!
One morning I realized I forgot to put on mascara and I stopped at Walgreens before I got to the hospital. I didn’t care if I was late…I HAD to have my makeup on. Mascara is a MUST for me–blonde eye lashes–eeewww
Haha. I used to freak if I didn’t have whatever the must-apply makeup item is. In high school it was powder, because I was sooo self-conscious of a shiny t-zone. I wigged out one morning on the bus and Grace had to calm me down, declaring, “Oh my God, Cindy, you’re NOT SHINY!!” In college and beyond, it was foundation, cuz I was self-conscious of bad skin (especially around PMS time). I’d NEVER forgotten that. I carried extra foundation with me in my purse and in my desk drawer at work. I got over the foundation thing in Cancun ’05, cuz Diana and I realized makeup slipped off our faces in such hot humid climate. After that it was eye makeup (eyeliner and shadow), but I got over that recently due to all of Mr. W’s insistence that I’m beautiful without makeup and that as far as he could tell, I look the same with or without. (I still disagree, but I’m not as self-conscious about it anymore.)
I keep an extra tube of mascara & eyelash curler in my purse. I TOTALLY look like a dude without mascara. Probably due to the fact I’m a spitting image of my father.
me too! (spitting image of my father w/o eye makeup)
i definitely understand those mornings! one time, I forgot to put the other earring in…I was walking around for half a day w/ 1 earring in – you can only imagine the looks… ha 🙂
K – Wait. Which ear? =)
ha ha – the right ear, left one didn’t have one in…does that mean anything!? I can’t be giving out ‘signals’ ha
I don’t think it matters as much anymore, and even when it did matter, it pertained more to guys than girls, but earring in right ear = gay; earring in left ear = cool. Maybe nobody saw. Did you discover it yourself?
that’s what is so sad, yes! no one told me that I had only 1 earring!? did they think that this was the look I was going for? I only discovered it while I was in the restroom…seriously people! good grief… ha
This is why experts say you should drink 8 glasses of water a day — more time spent in the restroom. haha. And you thought it was only about health.
haha — actually it was a fad thing at one point to only wear one earring for girls.
also i think the thing i tend to forget is mascara. and i have stopped off to buy mascara at the drugstore before work also!
really? girls w/1 earring? I can’t say it ever caught on to my knowledge anywhere near me. Yeah, mascara makes a huge difference on me, too, but I’m usually too lazy to wear it cuz removing it is a pain in the arse.
