With apologies to my white sistas.
I really want these and these. Because you know I'd wear one on each foot and rock the school vibe for my next class.
Guess what? I'm sick AGAIN! For the second time this month. I feel like a total failure. And I've been really good the last few weeks with my fruit/veggie/vitamin intake, so I totally don't get it. Maybe my body hasn't built up its proper immunity since the holidays (when I stopped caring about antioxidants) and I caught a virus. I'm downing the Oil of Oregano like nobody's business.
To be honest, I feel fine except for this nasty sore throat. I was all achy and phlegmmy over the weekend, but by last night, I was fine, other than my throat felt like someone had gone at it with a Garden Claw. This morning, I'm up so early because my throat was bugging me so much that I couldn't sleep. My google-fu tells me that what I have is either strep throat that's starting to go away, or just a really bad sore throat with a cold. Stephen tried to force Neo Citran on me, but since I'd rather die of my throat exploding than drink that shit, I declined.
I registered for Eyebrow Shaping online, and my first class is TODAY. I have to buy my brow kit before we start, so I'll pick that up on my way in. Do you know how not-interested I am in eyebrows? Eyebrows aren't fun. LET'S GET TO THE PROSTHETICS AND THE CRAZY ZOMBIE MAKEUP NOW.
*** Here is a short essay on someting annoying ***
So, some girl on YouTube, whose channel I follow, does beauty product reviews and whatnot. Her last review was on MAC's All Ages, All Races, All Sexes collection, and she was SO. DUMB. About it. She started going on about how MAC is becoming more diverse, like it's some new thing (MAC's mission statement, since the Franks started up the company, has always been All Races, All Sexes, All Ages, and they're one of the few cosmetic companies who understand the colour wheel and create warm, cool and neutral foundations for ALL skin tones. Most other companies, high-end or otherwise, have like, four shades - white, pink, peach and tan). Essentially, this collection is a bunch of stuff that works for everyone in some way or another, which is cool. Not that anyone can't rock any shade of anything, but it's nice to see a collection that brings that into focus. Anyway, just as the chick finishes gushing over how great such a "new idea" the collection is, she started complaining that it was basically all neutrals, which sucked for her because they brought it out almost immediately after the Warm and Cozy collection.
Warm and Cozy, to be fair, was all neutrals. The difference between the two is that Warm and Cozy was lip-focused and All Ages is brow-focused. Warm and Cozy is more appealing to the general public - neutral eye shades, neutral lips - and All Ages is more appealing to makeup artists who need a wider range of brow pencils and face finishing powder for their kits. MAC doesn't just cater to people who like makeup, they're an industry brand. They need to bring out collections that appeal to everyone, but they also need to keep a focus on professional makeup artists. Sometimes, that means bringing out two collections that seem similar, but have different target consumers.
Then she was annoyed because she thought that the lightest powder in the collection was too dark for her fair skin. That must suck. Perhaps this isn't the collection for you. Maybe you can try one of the other MILLIONS OF COLLECTIONS THAT ARE JUST MADE FOR WHITE PEOPLE.
Secret of the Day: I'm thinking of subscribing to Rolling Stone. I bought an issue yesterday to see if it's worth it these days - I just have trouble keeping up with music now that I'm post-Sunrise and I don't have the same resources available to me. Any thoughts?
