Clinque Make Up

Clinque products are my favorite.  I use all sorts of their stuff.  My favorites are their moisturizer, white eye shadow, cream shadows, lip gloss with SPF 15, and barely there powder with SPF 15!  I use all this stuff nearly everyday.  It's the best!  I could not live without the Clinque stuff I have, and thank goodness it lasts so long.  But do notice that I didn't mention eye liner or mascara.  Well...that's because I use a lot of those two things and go through them quickly.  Mascara and eyeliner that do not last long with me.  I do not go out in public without either.  

Last week at work I had a conversation with a coworker.  She said that when she has a "real" and "grown up" job she wants to get pedicures once a week!  I thought "WOW...that's expensive and your toes aren't visible all the time."  But your face is!  After talking to her, I got to thinking.  (Oh no, right!?)  During my thinking time, I decided that when I get a "real" job I will have Clinque mascara and eyeliner and moisturizer with sunscreen.  I think those would be good products to spend money on.  After all, your eyes for making eye contact are on your face along with the lips you use to communicate.  You don't use your toes for those things. 

I suppose I'll let my coworker do what she wants when she grows up, but I do thank her for sparking my thought about what I want when I grow up.  Clinque!  BUT I do know that there are more important things to want in life.  Good health, family, friends, food on the table, and a roof over my head are what I truly want.  I want them more than all the makeup in the world!  However, when I can afford the good mascara and eye liner, I think I might buy some.

Honor Roll, Oh Yeah!

I made the President's Honor Roll at WSU for the fourth semester in a row!  (I took a class online during the summer semester in 2010.)  That means I have had good grades every semester since I have been at college.  I work hard at school and am very proud of myself for making the honor again.  Last semester was tough.  I worried  my grades would not be as good as previous semesters.  It was a HUGE relief when my mom called last week to say I was listed in the local newspaper for making the honor roll at WSU for Fall 2010.  It is reassuring to know my hard work and hours of studying paid off once again.  I apologize if this sounds like I am bragging, but grades are very important to me.  Grades truly do matter.

I am one more semester closer to being done with school.  EXCEPT...I do not know how long I really plan on being in college.  Four years total?  Seven years?  I do not know how long yet because I do not know what I want to be when I grow up, or what degrees I want.  Either way, I am closer to be done, and my goal is to continue making the honor roll!

A Little Inspiration

Last night my friend, Laura, and I swapped fitness magazines.  She took my Women's Health and I took her Shape.  Both are great with good and healthy information.  I read these types of magazines for inspiration and motivation.  This morning Laura and I went to the gym.  She ran while I walked on the treadmill and read through Shape. 

While reading, a set of words jumped out at me.  It is was an inspirational quote said by Audrey Hepburn.  It goes like this:  "For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."  I think this is a good reminder of how we should treat others and even ourselves.  All I know is that I really love the message it has given me and I am going to try to be the person the quote describes.
