Why I'm pretty. And awesome.

This weekend, I was lazy. I didn't do shit. I didn't wash my hair. I didn't shower. Ya know. The usual lazy stuff that one does. I binged on netflix and Zac Efron movies. I did leave the house though. I went shopping yesterday and spent more money on stuff I don't need. Actually, I do kind of need these items...dresses. I bought dresses. Because I'm on a pants strike. I hate pants. They're annoying and constricting and they make me hot and schweaty and I don't like it. So I ain't wearing pants. And when I run out of dresses, I buy more dresses.

Dresses make me feel pretty. Like even on a three day shower strike, I put on a dress today. And bam. I am immediately the prettiest person alive. Speaking of feeling pretty....I'll tell you what else makes me feel pretty. 

1. My bob. My haircut, that is. My hair stylist is the coolest. She's an LKQ person. For those of you who don't know about LKQ...it stands for like, kind, and quality. It's an insurance term. It's my FAVORITE insurance term. I'm not here to talk about that though. I also love my bumble and bumble products: dry shampoo and dry-spun. They make my hair feel prettier than what it actually is. 

2. My tattoo. I don't know why it makes me feel pretty (because it's on a part of my body that I'm not currently comfortable showing to people), but it does. My tattoo artist is the coolest. He's also an LKQ person. And he's married to my hair stylist. He's so cool and he makes some dope ass tattoos. If he wasn't as cool as he is, I probably wouldn't have scheduled an appointment for my NEXT tattoo.

3. Washing my face. So ya know how I said I was lazy this weekend and didn't do shit? Well what I DID do is wash my face daily. I can't help it. Ever since I discovered this new skin care line, I have to wash my daily. It's like as long as my face is clean, I can totally trot around with a dirty body and dirty hair. Dirty hair, don't care...as they say. The greatest thing about washing my face is that...well...I don't break out. And my pores around my cheeks are much smaller than they used to be. Guys. I swear by this line. It's so good. SO GOOD. Rodan & Fields. Y'all should check it out. Seriously. If you need a skin care specialist, you let me know. Because mine is awesome (shout out to Bridgete). She introduced me to R&F about a year ago...and I'm totally gonna confess something right now. When I went to her friend's house to learn about this new line, I was a little drunk. I don't know if her or her friend knew...I tried my best to be sober, I really did. But who knows if I succeeded?!? But when I get drunk, I'll pretty much buy anything. And I knew my friend wouldn't sell something that was anything less than amazing...so I just jumped in and bought the whole regimen. BEST drunken decision I ever made. Haha. 

You wanna know what else is cool about my skin care specialist? She's also my make-up specialist. Which brings me to my next point....

4. Make-up. Make-up makes me feel so pretty. I don't wear it a lot though. Because, quite frankly...I'm lazy and let's be honest...who am I trying to impress? Nobody. That's who. But when I DO wear make-up... like I am feeling sexy and ready to go out on a date or something. Bridgete turned me onto this line also...which is an oldy but a goody. Mary Kay. My favorite MK product is the mascara. And the foundation. And the Bella Belara perfume. And the eyeshadow. And the blush. And the lipgloss. Well gosh guys, I guess all my make-up is my favorite. 

5. Jewelry. Specifically Stella & Dot. Guys. I fricken love S&D. I feel like a little bit of a jewelry snob because I really try to have eyes for other jewels, but nothing really compares to it. My favorite thing about it is that it doesn't smell. Y'all might think I'm crazy, but I'm a scent driven person. If something smells, I ain't having it (possibly me, right now, post three day shower strike). Also, it's fricken gorg. Oh. And ya know what?! If you need a jewelry stylist, I have one of those in my pocket, too. Her name is Andrea and she is my roommate slash domestic partner slash favorite person in the world. We have this really cool wall in our house where we hang all our S&D. We sometimes meet here in the mornings and accessorize. It's kinda girly and kinda awesome. I say awesome a lot. 

So pretty much, what I just did there for you is give you the recipe on how to be as cool as me. Guys. It's not an easy task.....oh gosh, let's be real...I'm not THAT conceited. Haha. 

But really...dress, hair, cleanse face, make-up, accessorize. That's all there is to it. I'm a pretty simple gal. And I have pretty awesome friends...who help me feel beautiful. And I'm eternally grateful for them.
