I love to learn about the history of makeup : the birth of the tried and true brands that are around to this day and the cultural and political events that influence how makeup was worn (or not).
Thank goodness for Lisa Eldridge, a prominent makeup artist in the UK, and historian, Madeleine Marsh, for giving us a glimpse into how makeup was worn and treated in past.
Yet another week has gone by. Time seems to just fly by these days. I remember back when I was in grade school, time literally crawled at a snail’s pace. Hours spent inside the classroom studying were punctuated by very brief recess periods and the almighty lunch break that was much too short. Now I find myself wishing for time to slow down a little so I can take a few moments and just sit still without having to worry about where I have to be next or if I’m late for work. It would be so nice to have a couple of days to do absolutely nothing; a day where I can just stay in my pyjamas all day and watch Buffy or Seinfeld re-runs, Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservation or Guy Fieri’s Diners, Dine-Ins, and Dives if I feel up to putting myself through foodie torture.
So, I’m on a quest to lift my spirit up a little today and found this hilarious clip on Youtube:

Or maybe take a page out of this little furry one’s book and just smile:
