I HATE WASHING MY FACE AT NIGHT. You might read the title and think I’m trolling you. I’m not. Y’all. I genuinely hate washing my face at the end of the night with a face full of makeup. Especially if I’ve had one or more glasses of wine. Like how did my arms get so heavy??? As soon as I walk into the house, my body craves my bed like it never has. But those white sheets and your pores give you the, "You Bet Not" look. So I wash it. And I used to use coconut oil to remove my makeup but it was just so damn messy and I would ALWAYS stain whatever I had on. But I still did it and in the morning ..read more

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. Lashes look like a full face of makeup. There have been so many occasions where I’ve had on lashes and lip gloss and people told me my makeup is pretty. So, I am the first to admit - I really love lashes. BUT. And there is a big BUT. Big Booty Judy style. While I love the way lashes make me look. I HATE THE WAY THEY MAKE MY EYES BURN. You would think I poured alcohol into them. Every time I shower, I get a crazy stinging sensation. I also dislike laying down for so long to get them done. I love my lash tech, she’s my friend and we have juicy convos. B ..read more
