This edition is “Makeup, Beauty, Skincare” – most of the things I totally ignore these days.
That surely hasn’t always been the case in my life. I was actually a “Beauty Consultant” in an almost past life. I sold make-up for “Fashion 220” (and yes, I checked, they’re still around – more or less).
They sent me to New York to attend a class on how to use make-up. It was taught by a Hollywood make-up artist (who’s name I don’t remember). Not only did I learn a great deal about make-up, how to apply it, and how to wear it to enhance your appearence – I got to do a lot of sightseeing in New York (my first visit there). My husband went with me and we rode the train from Alabama to New York – and that was an experience in itself. I wish I had pictures of that trip, but alass – no.
Going through some really old photos, I found two that look just a ‘smidge different’ from my appearance today. Laugh if you must – I had a head full of long red hair – and don’t even resemble the person I am today. These pictures were made in 1969 (another lifetime), and now you’re going to wonder – “who is that person???”!! But yes! It is me – or rather WAS me!
I haven’t dabbled in make-up or “beauty” in a very long time. I don’t have nice thick hair, I don’t have any eyebrows, I don’t have any eyelashes – so it woud be a bit more difficult today. Breast cancer, chemo and Arimidex (the Arimidex was for 5 years) took car of all of that. But, I’m alive – even if I look a bit different. I do still use a nice face cream that I buy from a private seller on Etsy – that’s homemade with Goat milk.
SO, that’s it for me – not much to see… but you’ll find more interesting info if you check out the links of the rest of the group.
