How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Ode to Lip Gloss

in Uncategorized on 07/21/09


I woke up this morning..wait did I even sleep?
So SO tired.
Red. Puffy eyes.
Rats nest where my hair used to be..
Felt like crap…. from the new zit emerging on my shiny little chin, to my unshaven ankle bone.

How can I possibly go out and greet the world?

To every woman’s secret weapon..the bathroom vanity.

Visine-red eyes be gone.
Eyelash curler-thank you for the fake awake.
Cover-up-bye BYE zit. (bless the makers of quality cover-up)
Bronzer-fake glow wipe out that pastey shine.
Gloss-lips from dull to soft and kissable.
CHI flat iron-ahh a miracle worker…bye bye rats nest.
Push Up Bra- now I know Victoria’s Secret.
Venus Razor-smooth and sexy for one more day.
Black skirt and top-elongate and minimize baby.
High Heel-bless you, those three inches are stretching these gams.

I swear to you I look like a different woman then the one that greeted me in the mirror this morning.
Without the magic vanity chock full of drops, sprays, powders and tools the world would be a much scarier place…..for you!
Bless you magic vanity.

      I too love my magic vanity and the wonders it can create. I just wish it didn’t take so dang long to do so!

      I’ve gotten over my vanity and prefer to spend that extra 20 mins sleeping in. 🙂

      I don’t care most days as I just end up sweating it all off by noon anyways.

      I guess I’ve lost my will to live??

      Yes…magic vanity is a great friend. And I use Rose Salve in my repetoire as well. On the cheeks..Fab and fully refreshed looking.

      Ah, I knew there was an upside to being a woman – I’d forgotten, being buried under all those chores!

      Love RMx

      Whatever it takes; the beautification process is simply the price we must pay for the privilige of being female. Much better than the alternative…

      Amen to that Sista!
