Brushes Brushes and MORE Brushes!

You may or may not know about my love for all thinks beauty.

By beauty I mean make-up, hair, skin…you know. All thinks vain and ridiculous in the greater scheme of the universe.

I’m sorta vain and totally ridiculous.

Ok.

I’m totally vain AND totally ridiculous.

Happy now?

Anyway.

I found a really good deal on make-up brushes that I thought [...]

If Two Is Good, Four Is Better...Right?

I’ve always lived under the philosophy that if two is good, four is better. It’s served me well. Until today. Today it let me down. It let me down HARD!

I am, admittedly, slightly bent today. Maybe it’s an estrogen surge. Maybe a testosterone burst. Maybe I’m just in [...]

Mean Marie’s Long Luxurious Hair

Here I am in the third (maybe fourth) grade:

I still wear my hair like this.

Still long.

Still pulled back in the front with a barrette.

My sister-in-law loves to take pictures and she [...]

Today is my mama’s 68th birthday. Y’all know that I ADORE my mama. ADORE her. Since I am crazy about her, I wanted to give her a special birthday.

First thing I did was arrange to take personal time from work. I wanted to spend the entire day with Mama. [...]

Chantilly Lace

I have always thought that my mama was/is the most beautiful woman in the world. I think lots of daughters have the same feelings about their mamas. But. My mama is the most beautiful woman in the world.

See?

Isn’t she gorgeous?

There’s a story behind this picture. I’ll share it with you one [...]

Brow Mange and Zebra Toes

I went to the salon on Tuesday evening to get my nails done and my brows waxed. Have I ever mentioned that I love the salon? I have? Well, let me mention it again. I love the salon. LOVE it!

I love to settle in to the massage chair and let [...]
