A Rare Blog Adornment

As pretty as I felt Saturday, I almost wound up without any documentation of it. Luckily, I joined a snapshot of my pal Sylvia, and she was kind enough to share it with me. She's a shy girl, so I cropped her out of it.

This is not meant to diminish expectations, but I was not pleased with the hue of my foundation. I was very brown, and I'm unsure what happened. I used a cream foundation, then set it with a mineral powder. Both of these have looked fine standing alone, but this was the first time that I had combined them. The powder is actually supposed to be used as the foundation, and I guess that's where the screwup was. Live and learn...

On the plus side, I managed to stand up straight for this pic. The one from Novembers' restaurant trip very nearly didn't get posted, as I looked like I'd just finished ringing the bells at Notre Dame. I can't expect people to be comfortable telling me not to slouch, but I'm hopeful that I can train my friends to preface a photo with, "Are you proud of your breasts?" Then, I'll throw my shoulders back and flaunt what God didn't give me.

  1. Nice one!

    The foundation certainly works in the photo, far better a bit dark than too light.

    I know the dreaded slouch only too well, I'll have to remember that phrase.

  3. Straight shoulders AND a nice smile? I might be able to find one of those in a hundred snaps. You are a natural.

    I am sure it was a great, life giving day for you. If you have more to share, you have a hungry audience out here.

    Happy for you m'dear.

  7. I thought you looked Mauh-velous! I really didn't notice the foundation being too brown, but we are our own worst critics I suppose. I have that problem too when mixing different foundations and powders. Some work together, some don't. Really depends on the individual too. It's really just a trial and error type creative process.

    T'was great to see you out and about again. You where just beaming!! :)

    Peace and Hugs,
    <3 Tina
