New Makeup (Bare Minerals)

So I've been trying to get into a makeup routine. I never really wore it much but my sun damage is catching up with me and I feel I need better daily coverage. So here's me dorkin' it up with a before and after shot with my new makeup. I went with Bare Minerals because it was recommended to me by my favorite cousins and it's a lighter coverage makeup. It's all natural minerals and the application process is very gradual so you can be as casual or as dramatic as you'd like. It seems by the pigments and consistency of the powders it's a higher quality. The shadows blend really well and the lipgloss is smooth and tingly. I would recommend Bare Minerals to those of you who are looking for a lighter healthy coverage. I went pretty light here with this application. This is about the kind of coverage I would wear to work. If I were going out I would just go heavier on the eye makeup and wear a red lipstick. So if any of you've seen the informercial and wanted to try it you should. I got a starter kit at Macy's but you can order it online too... Now I just need to figure out what to do with my hair.

My ACL Replacement surgery.

Back in June I tore my ACL (or anterior cruciate ligament) while playing soccer. I finally had the replacement surgery but have been stuck in bed the past week; today I finally got out of my house had my stitches removed. I’d say the pain's been consistently horrible. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. I had no idea. I actually thought I was going to be able to get up for a couple hours of the day and do a load of laundry or some homework but that wasn’t possible. I barley made it to the bathroom. Today was a good day I’d have to say. My knee’s still throbbing but at least I finally get to take a shower!

…. The simple things people… I see it clearly at this moment. A shower and some fresh air is just enough.
