Make me pretty.
It’s hard being a girl sometimes. It’s even harder being a girl who is somewhat good-looking, especially if you weren’t born into the Naturally Beautiful Elite. I always thought being clean was enough. I had my basic essentials: shampoo/conditioner, soap, toothpaste and deodorant. Little did I know that it takes way more than that to be attractive in this day and age. You have so many elixirs and scary potions to choose from. It can be very overwhelming. Just the other day, I was standing in the beauty aisle at Walmart, looking at face moisturizers to help with my recent outbreak of zits on my chin. Not only were there around 20 brands but each brand had about 5-10 different kinds. You have anti-wrinkle, SPF, toner, bronzer, anti-pimple. You have creams for medium dry, ultra dry, sort of dry today but not so dry yesterday. Why can’t there be one magic fix-all cream for everything? And don’t even get me started on all the different cosmetics you need nowadays! You now have to put primer on your eyes before the shadow and don’t forget to contour your foundation! It’s exhausting. Can I just be a man please? How liberating would it be to just be able to wake up, shower, brush teeth, brush hair, swipe deodorant on, DONE! If only…
I’m trying really hard to write every day even if my life isn’t that interesting. I figure if I get in the habit of writing, I won’t end up quitting cold turkey like I’m wont to do. It usually happens after about three days so maybe if I make it to four, the spell will be broken. I’ve also been scouring the OpenDiary homepage for prompts and challenges to keep me writing. I already found a "30 Day Challenge" that I’ve decided to do, even though it looks somewhat lame. I’m also thinking about doing the "Twelve in 12" challenge where you read one book each month for a year. Reading one book a month for a year won’t be the hard part for me but I’ve always found writing reviews a little difficult. After stating, "I liked it" or "it was okay," I don’t really know what else to say.
Have you ever played the game Munchkin? It’s my favorite game. Boyfriend, my friend Eric and I are going to play today if all works out. Here’s hoping I draw the Sandals of Protection card.
Oh, I’m sorry none of that helped you out 🙁 I really hate it too that some people just say, “Oh just do it, you’ll be ok blah blah.” They don’t get it, it is so much easier said than done! Thanks for wanting to read my diary btw, I’ve never thought of myself as interesting. I’ll add you to my friends/bookmark thingy. Hmm, I don’t think girls absolutely need make-up to be pretty…and I’ve seen a lot of women look just as good without it, but that’s just me 😛 I kind of have an obsession with make-up though, have a ton of it but hardly wear it…I dunno, I just find stuff and tend to pick it up and through time I have a shit ton lol. I really like the St. Ives Apricot scrub and the Aveeno Clear Complexion moisturizer, they are both gentle yet affective I’ve found. But if you really want to get rid of zits fast Pro Active is awesome I tell ya…works really good! Sometimes I go through spells of not writing too, but I’ve heard it’s very helpful to write out your emotions, so I’m trying to keep a steady pace with writing. I hope you’re having a nice week so far (:
