Beauty Tip #1: Smile

I have been busier than normal lately. Today was my relaxing day. We had to write a hypothetical grant request for one of my classes. It has been consuming a lot of my time; I'm most definitely not complaining because Steven has to take the DAT in less than 2 weeks! Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's so close. Needless to say, he has been studying a lot more in the past couple of weeks, so I'm happy to keep myself busy with stuff.
In my spare time, I have been relighting my candle of love for makeup. I don't really do it that often because money is tight, I don't have time, blah blah blah. This "channel"on youtube is done by Julie. Some of the makeup is somewhat dramatic, but I have found you can tone everything down to suit every day needs. She also has some hair things and some wicked nail designs. It makes me wish I had nails that would grow up to be strong lil' fellas.

Her #1 tip about beauty is to smile. How true is that? At first I thought it was odd how smiley she was, but it kind of catches. So, my challenge to myself and anybody willing is to smile, even though it may not be that hard during the holiday season.
