I have been so busy with school. I should finish my degree in December and right now I am getting ready for finals and trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up. Like the whole thing now is, I am not sure I want to use the skills I am earning my degree in. Here I am, about to turn 47, and I still don't know what I want to be. I have been so involved raising my girls that I don't know what I really want for myself anymore. The whole time I was working and raising them I was so involved with just day to day survival and proving to everyone that I could do it right by myself, that I forgot about myself. Is this some kind of single/divorced parent syndrome or something?
WOW, that was some kind of rave I just got off on......
What I really wanted to talk about was this makeup I just tried. I have been a mineral makeup addict since I tried my first tub of bare minerals. Let's just say that was many moons ago. Well, I thought I had tried just about all the MMU
foundations created, I was wrong. As long as I have been lurking at all the Makeup Forums, I don't know how I missed this one. I had been reading more and more reviews about this foundation that you mix your shade up yourself, truly, how long has Silk Naturals been around folks? I just started looking over the site and ordered my sample foundation kit and some blush and finishing powder samples, along with some MAC clones I thought I would have to see to believe.
OMG!! It took me absolutely no time to mix up the right shade of foundation and my skin looks so amazing! The finish is absolutely gorgeous and the finishing powders are perfect. The MAC clones are right on target, and are way more usable for me because they don't even make me itch like the originals.
I hope this company will be around for a long time because I don't know how I will ever use any other foundation again
.
Well, I am finally getting around to posting. I generally lurk around, reading some of my favorite MUT ers blogs. I occasionally comment, but i think it is time to start doing this thing myself. I have had a break from school for a couple of weeks now, but Summer 1 term is getting ready to start. We have been so busy here with prom, graduation, etc. My baby girl graduated last night, Salutatorian of her class. I was so proud of her, her speech was great. So now, come fall, my house will be empty except for me and the cats. Both my girls will be off at college, and I guess I will have to get some sort of life of my own. I always whine because I feel like I can't study in a house full of noise, but I know I will miss all the noise when they are gone. If all goes well I will graduate in May 2008 with my AS in IT. I am keeping my GPA up and just qualified for more grants so that has been helpful. It is really hard at my age starting over. I have really wanted to go back to school for a long time now, but raising my girls and keeping them on the right path, expenses and whatnot kept me from pursuing this. Anyway, I started lurking her because of my love of all things mineral makeup and I hope to learn more from some of my friends here. So i will work hard to keep up with this and maybe post some of my collections as well.
