My face thanks you both

Firstly, I'd like to say that I lost a follower.  It's not like it's a big deal, because I don't think I even know who's who of my followers...because we all choose names like "CarolinaGrown7" (that's mine...I think...not really sure...) and blogger won't let me click and see what their blogs are, just who else they follow. L.A.M.E. But anyway, it's still a little sad. Sorry, whomever you were.

Anyway, I just wanted to share what I did yesterday.
Nothing.
Well, not nothing. I did a lot of nothing productive.
Recently I have discovered the wonderful world of makeup.  Now, as a 27 year old woman (I still want to call myself a girl), I should know a thing or two about makeup by now, right? Nope.  All I've ever known about makeup is what the girl at the Clinique counter told me. And they all disagreed with whatever the last girl told me.
So anyway, my friend Kayla from SVU started a you tube channel and I LOVE it!

After watching her for a couple of months, I decided to branch out and see who else had things to say about makeup.  Now, let me mention that I'm picky about everything to do with entertainment.  Books. TV, movies, video games, etc. I'm so opinionated it's ridiculous, especially ridiculous in this case (did you know that it took me 3 tries to spell that word right...) because I don't know anything about makeup myself! So, I LOVE Kayla, but any time there was a "related link" below her video that You Tube thought I should like...I hated it. They were all flippy girls who looked like they've never seen the inside of a book (and I can't abide people who don't read, sorry) or...I don't know. Here, let me give you an example.

Don't even click on that link if you can help it...I mean, you can get the gist of her from the picture.
This girl makes me want to VOMIT! Ugh. And she embodies everything I dislike about the "makeup world" and this is how I see all of them.
Except for Kayla.
And this next girl.
Now, I saw this random link to another channel, and I decided to give it a try...And I fell in love with her channel!!!  Her name is Livie and she is from Wales. Okay, let's stop right there. I love EVERYONE British! Alright, that's not true, because I followed a link to another Brit from her page and I wasn't a fan, BUT, I do love this girl.
Here she is:

I love her so much that I literally spent all day yesterday watching her old videos. Yeah. She has 75 videos.  Okay, I didn't watch all of them.  Only like 85% of them.
And then I just wanted to watch more makeup videos so I rewatched some of Kayla's.
I'm such a loser.
But I know things now that I never knew before.
And thanks to Kayla, I have a new hair routine that allows my curls to be curls instead of non-curls.

Eyes, Time and Television

I was off today (woo hoo!) and Brandon had to work so consequently I was home alone. As I am most, if not all days I'm off because I can't remember the last time Brandon and I shared a day off.  But anyway, as I got out of bed I decided to have a no Eyes, no Time, no Television day.  Let me explain if your wondering how to exist without eyes and time.  For those of you who don't know me well, I'm a procrastinator down to the point where I will wear the same pair of contacts for a year and half because, for me, they're still functional.  Until one of them gets a hole, and even after knowing that, I still don't go to the eye doctor for a new prescription (contact RXs are only good for 2 years and mine expired 2 years ago) and continued to wear them and eventually it caught up with me and scratched my cornea.  Well, now I'm down to just my glasses, which in line with my procrastination, are 9 years old and suck. A lot. So I decided to go blind today.  I decided that I wasn't going to wear any corrective eye wear whatsoever.  And may I proudly say that I can successfully distinguish the difference between all four of my cats with completely terrible vision. I deserve a high five for that. So, no eyes.  Along with the no eyes, it makes it difficult to see the time on any clock that isn't on my phone, so I decided to intentionally not know what time it was, which worked almost flawlessly.  There were a couple of times when I saw the time (setting the timer on the oven, answering a phone call from Brandon, taking a picture with my phone) but for the most part I just went about my day with no knowledge of what time it was and it was so liberating!  The only real indication of time that I had was how dark it was outside. And I also decided to not watch any television whatsoever, which is usually all I do on my days off.  So what did I do?  I read.  A lot.  And I did chores, but they were limited a bit because of my severe lack of vision. And the fact that my SwifferVac only lasts for like 45 seconds before it dies - what's up with that?
I should try this again soon.  Maybe not the no eyes thing again, but the no tv, no time for sure.
